Chapter 2 of "The clarinet of time" *I know, stupid title... but hey! It'll
work out! PLEASE REVIEW!!!!*
Rini's new wardrobe
Scene: where we left off, Link and Rini are laughing their heads off at the horrible truth of Ganondorf being in love with Impa. They are just about at the entrance to Kokiri forest, riding on horseback.
Link: (laughing.) ah, is it ever! (love, in case you didn't read chapter one.) Unless you have a fish princess who wants to marry you. (Rini laughs, picturing Ruto in a wedding dress.)
Rini: I'm so glad I don't have romance in my life! According to you, its like a pain or something!
Link: Its a pain alright...(They reach the entrance, and Link gets off Epona.) Oh yeah, and you'll have to leave your horse here, they don't go through the gateways.
Rini: Oh, alright...(dismounts.) Then from here on its on foot eh? Well tally ho...(They enter Kokiri forest, after passing the bridge.) Whoa, you used to live here?! (Link nods.) Its so...green, and nice. I've never been in a place like this before.
Link: (sighing.) I miss it every now and then, since I'm on princess duty. One thing I won't miss is the Deku tree... Now he was annoying! Who likes to listen to a talking tree that only talks about its problems? sheesh!
Rini: Man, if I lived in a forest, I wouldn't ever want to leave! You had it pretty good my friend. (They go to Saria's house, and surprisingly, she's there. She looks up and smiles pleasantly, as if she was expecting them.) Saria: Hello Link, I thought I would be seeing you again soon, and you...(looks at Rini.) I feel like I know you...like, I've seen you someplace before, I don't know where, but I have a feeling that we'll be good friends someday. Whats your name? And why do you wear that black mask? I can see your face under it you know. You're pretty. (Rini looks worriedly at Link, who whispers: "She's weird that way, she can see things normal people can't and stuff, don't worry about it.")
Rini: Er, you can see my face?
Saria: Yes, quite clearly actually, you're pretty, Link, you don't have to worry about that thing you were thinking about. (Rini blushes under her mask somewhat, and Link sweatdrops nervously.) You're a Gerudo right? (Rini nods.) You don't have a Gerudo face though, and you don't have as severe a tan either.
Rini: Well, I uh, I dunno what to say...Link, can you see my face? (Link looks at her closely.)
Link: No
Rini: Okay, whatever, anyway, I'm Rini, and I need-
Saria: a tunic? (Rini is a little freaked out now.)
Rini: yeah that's it.
Saria: ok. (she trots to her closet and Link and Rini can see several outifts that all look the same, excepting one, which is adult size, Link was right then...she does fantasize about being older... she hands the tunic over to Rini, who changes into it in a back room, and then comes out wearing a turtle-neck green tunic like Saria's, with thin kokiri boots, its a big transition from her usual big pants and tank top-like shirt, and she fumbles nervously with her belt.)
Rini: How does this look? (Saria smiles and Link gives a thumbs up.)
Link: great great, now lets go. Thanks Saria, I'll call you up on the ocarina sometime. See ya later. (They leave the little house as Saria waves goodbye turns to Mido, who is standing by the door.)
Saria: Are they out of sight yet? (Mido looks off into the forest and nods.) Cool, now I can stop acting all mystical and we can go watch Pokemon in peace! (They go inside. Meanwhile, Link and Rini are riding out towards Death Mountain.)
Rini: These clothes feel awkward... I'm not used to skirts and tights. (Link smiles.)
Link: You'll get used to it, believe me, you're lucky to have a turtle neck tunic, especially around the Ice Cavern. (shudders.)
Rini: Where's that?
Link: Its near Lake Hylia, ever been to Zoras domain or seen Jabu-Jabu? (Rini starts laughing.) What?
Rini: Oh I've been there alright.We went on a raiding party when I was in training a few years ago, and stole Jabu-Jabu!
Link: Is that even possible? I mean how can you get him out of there?
Rini: Ever notice in Z64, when you go back to the area Jabu-Jabu is gone? (He nods.) Well... (Link snickers.)
Link: how did you manage it?
Rini: Since you'd already moved the fat fish dude-
Link: (snickers.) King Zora.
Rini: Right, we snuck in and the whole clan tore down the gate with explosives and stuff, then we worked together to push him down the waterfall, then he just flopped through the river area and downstream. We had a problem when he rammed into the castle drawbridge, you know how its downstream from Zora's? (Link nods and snickers, picturing Lord Jabu Jabu smashing into the bridge.) Yeah, thats how the bridge broke, and when he hit the end of the moat, we put him on a wheeled platform and we helped our horses lug him to Gerudo valley.
Link: but then what? I mean, what do you do with someone's sacred diety?
Rini: My sister Essie wanted to pawn him off, and so did Mom, but Sola wouldn't have it.
Link: who's Sola?
Rini: One of the guards, she is very religious. She said pawning off somebody's fish-god was unethical, but Ganon stepped in and tried to pawn it off anyway. He couldn't get any money for it though, excepting that huge jewel thing on Jabu-Jabu's forehead. We got quite a bit of money for it! Some guy bought it for several thousand rupees.
Link: Wow, thats like, a fortune! You Gerudo probably bought something really expensive later!
Rini: not really, we just hoard it in the Spirit temple, Ganon put it there to use it to take over Hyrule. Nabooru's there right now, trying to find a way in to steal the treasure.
Link: Yeah I noticed, what happened to Jabu-Jabu?
Rini: We ate well that night. (Link starts laughing hysterically.) We cooked a few slabs of leftovers and brought them around Hyrule, we gave Darunia one, but he said it was gross, and offered us a rock. We gave King Zora the rest, told him we hunted down a Hylian moose. He ate all four slabs imagine eating what you thought was sacred. (shudders.)
Link: I think we'll get along quite well during our time together. (laughs as they enter the volcano crater through Darunia's room.)
