Link X-mas day 3
12/18/2002

Link rode the crazy flying Eponia all the way to the bridge near the entrence to the Gurudu Valley. There, he coaxed her into a WALK, not a FLY, and he went across the bridge. Eponia had always been a stubborn horse.
They had no sooner gotten across when Link saw the sign. It read "Gone to a tropical island somewhere. Be back in spring. -the gerudus". "Figures," link commented. "They always loved the heat."
Just then the sun set. "Looks like we're staying here tonight, 'ponia." Link murmered to his horse. "Come, let's find some shelter."
They ended up making camp in a jail cell, though not the one Link was so often thrown into (for the obvious reason that Eponia couldn't manage to get in the tiny window). Link made a fire out of bits of cactus he found freezing, and sat in the near-darkness shivering.
He tried to stay awake to protect them, but it was getting late. He began to lose track of whether he was waking or sleeping. His dreams seemed real, but brief; his waking periods felt like dreams. He thought he saw Koume appear before him in the cell. He rubbed his eyes. Koume remained. Or was it Kotoke? Which was ice, and which was fire? He knew once, but he had been too tired to remember things straight for several hours now. What world was she from? Did she hail from the swamp, or the desert? and which was in this world and which in the other?
"Link... I am the ghost of christmas past, here to show you your past."
Link yawned. "I know my past. I was there, remember?"
"............... good point. i mean, that's not the point! There are some thing s you don't remember, such as why you hate christmas."
"That's nice." Link had to fight hard to stay awake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A young woman ran into the forest with a young baby in her arms.
"Why are we in the forest?" Link wonderd aloud.
"They can't hear you." said koume.
"I was talking to you." Link ran in front of the woman and waved his arm in her face. "HEY! MORON! :-P!"
The woman looked down at the newborn, then up at a big tree. It looked familier...
"Great Deku Tree, please take care of my child. His name is Link."
She left him and ran off.
"That's nice." said Link.
"hhmph!" said Koume. "Fine, then."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They were back in the cell. "Darn. SISTER!"
Kotoke appeared. Or was it? The fire twin appeared, let's leave it at that. "Yah?"
"How about you showing him the future?"
"Alrighty-ho! What do you think, Link, wanna see the future?"
"Is it warmer than the past?"
The sisters laughed. Link was whirled up in a firy vortex. "figures." Link mumbled. "she always WAS flashier."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A square sponge pranced about singing about "Santa's coming tonight tonight, Santa'a coming tonight!" He was joined by a bunch of fish-people (looking more like fish than the Zoras), as well as a pink starfish. A squid yelled at him. He yelled something about "Bob the sponge with square pants" or something.
"oops, sorry, too far."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A square screen, and on it a picture of a grusome green lady in a snata outfit handing a kid a slug-like thing. He could hear voices behind him:
"Yeah, that's Kerrigan. She's schweet! Hey, check out this pic!"
The screen changed to a picture of.... himself!?!?!
"That's Link. Isn't he cute? MUCH cuter than dumb old Aaron Carter."
"IS NOT!" a younger girl's voice protestig the older girl's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They were back in the cell. "That was... odd..." said Link.
"Yeah, no good there. I forgot what i wanted to show you." said Kotoke.
"Shall we...?" said Koume.
"Indeed." replied Kotoke.
The two sisters merged into Twinrova.
" I am the ghost of christmas present! Come, see your present christmas!"
They laughed and he was transported again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
his perspective was up high, looking down on the back of a man in a red tunic who was talking to Twinrova. Strange... and he had a raindeer nearby... wait... THAT WAS HIM!!!
"Well, no duh. We can't be in two places at once!" said Twinrova. Link sweatdropped, and then returned to his body. Twinrova dissapeared, then Link fell asleep.
