HALLLOOOO! HEY FOOTBALL BRAINS! I'm on vacation so, since I've got nothing better to do, I'll try to add a new chapter every other freakin' day, alright? If I don't add a chapter, that means I did something worth of doing. SEE! I TOLD YOU I HAVE NO LIFE!!! Anyway, last time, Nicole almost died (again) and they were heading for Kakariko Graveyard for a new weapon. Nicole scared the crap out of them!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! I'M EVIL, EVIL (and crazy) I TELL YOU!!!
------
Chapter 7: The Hookshot!! Ohhhh!!! I get a new horsey!!! (orig.)/The Hookshot! Ooh! They get sum horses!
"MWAHAHAHAHAHA!" Nicole laughed. "You should have seen the look on your faces! They were so mega colory funny! MWAHAHA!"
Link's eye twitched. "NICOLE!" Nicole 'eep'-ed and shut up, but still giggled. He grumbled and took a deep breath. "Okay, forget about this. We need to get the hook... uhh... hook... what's it called?"
"HOOKSHOT!" Hayarpi screamed. "Man, you can't remember anything."
"YES I CAN!" Link shot back in defense. "I only forgot what the name of the weapon was."
Brian gave a 'pfft.' "Uh huh, whatever."
"Anyway, we have to find the hookshot so we can get to the first temple." Gilbert informed everyone.
Link nodded. "Okay, so..." He paused. "Where do we look?"
While everyone was chitchatting, Ines had gone to the side and was pulling a suspicious-looking grave. Everyone noticed she wasn't talking and noticed her there.
"AUGH!" Everyone screamed. "WHAT'RE YOU DOING?! YOU'RE GOING TO SUMMON THE DEAD! NOOOO!"
Ines rolled her eyes. "Excuse me, but if you didn't happen to notice, there's a hole leading underground."
And everyone looked in front of the Hispanic girl, finding the hole present. "... Oh."
"Come on, follow me!" With that, she jumped in.
Nicole cheered. "Yaay! We're going ghost hunting!" She jumped in. And as she fell, her echo radiated outside. "RADICAL ROLLERCOASTEEEeerrrss..." And then a thud. "OUCH! Hi ghost person thingy! Why are there six of you?!"
Link glanced at everyone else. "Uhh... I guess we should go in."
Brian, Hayarpi, and Gilbert exchanged looks. "Umm, okay."
-
"Oooooh... what is that..."
"Hey, HEY!" The first ghost said, slapping Nicole's hand. "Don't touch that and stop acting like a twelve year old!"
Nicole bit her lip, eyes narrowing at him childishly.
"Technically, she is." Ines added silently. "But anyway, why ARE there six of you?"
The other five ghosts began taking turns speaking. "Each of you..."
"Must follow..."
"One of us..."
"If you succeed..."
"We will give you our treasures."
"COOLY OOLY OXEN FREE!" Nicole cheered. She stopped, looking at the six of them. "Wait, do we choose who we want to go with?"
The first ghost nodded. "Yes. Insane one, choose who."
"Ok, uhhhhh..." The so-called 'insane one' eyed all the ghosts, measuring them up with her dark eyes. "... GHOST #2! LEAD THE WAY, SMELLY BREATH!"
"COOL!" The second ghost said happily. "The insane one chose me! LET US DEPART, MENTALLY CHALLENGED ONE!" and with that he began to float away.
"AWESOME! I got partnered with a ghost that understands me!" Suddenly she realized he wasn't there anymore. "Wha--! HEY WAIT, COME BACK!"
The fifth ghost watched as Nicole disappeared around the corner. "O.o;;? Uhhh, so you got an insane one, too?"
Navi nodded. "Yup, and we're darn proud of her."
All the living people nodded in agreement.
"Hero of Time, chose your ghost."
Link looked at them all. "NUMBER 5!"
Ghost 5 grinned at him. "Cool! My name is Mr. Herbert!" Then he flew away. Yeah. Just like that. o.O;
Link had the same expression as the narrator. "O.o? Uhh, ok, gho-- I mean Mr. Herbert!" Then he proceeded to follow gho-- I mean Mr. Herbert.
"Wait for me, Link and Mr. Herbert!" Navi called, flitting after them.
"Can I chose next?" Gilbert asked.
Ghost 1 nodded. "Yes, oh funny one."
"#3!"
"Uhh, follow me then. Oh, and by the way, my name is QUEEN OF ALL THE SCRUNCHIES!" the third ghost announced happily.
Gilbert shrugged. "A girl ghost! Good enough for me."
Queen of all the scrunchies (QOATS) and Gilbert leave the two girls and ghosts.
"Oh, Ruto-hating one, please go ahead."
"It's me, huh?" said Brian with a stupid grin. "I HATE THAT FREAKIN' FISH WOMAN!" Ines and Hayarpi sweatdropped insanely. "Ok, I chose 6."
"Hey, I hate Ruto, too! She's a brat," the sixth ghost agreed.
"YEEAAHHH!" they both high-fived each other.
"Oh, and my name is Twirly Snow Cone! COME WITH ME!" Then he flies away.
"... Oookay. See you girls at the exit!" And he follows.
The first ghost nodded at Ines and Hayarpi. "Alright, girls, choose."
"I chose 4!" Ines said happily. "She's wearing make-up and everything!"
"Right on, girl! Hey, my name's Glitter Box full O' make-up! Hey, you know about my eye shadow?"
"Yeah, where did you get it? It looks sooo fabulous on you!"
Glitter Box full O' make up (GBFOMU) sighed. "Well..." And with that, the two girls went away, talking about make-up and stuff like that while GBFOMU led Ines to the treasure.
"Well, it's you and me then." The first ghost said after they were out of sight. "Are you ok with that?"
Hayarpi shrugged. "Yes, I was gonna choose you anyway."
"My name is Plain O' Joe."
"That's uhhh... a nice name. Ok, let's go!"
Everyone followed their ghosts and eventually, they got to the treasure. Their prizes were in separate rooms.
"Yaay!" Link said happily as he held up a new weapon. "A green hookshot!"
Nicole, in a separate room, did the same. "Cool, a black hookshot!"
Hayarpi took her weapon also. "Wow, a red hookshot!"
Gilbert, also in the same scenario... "Hey, a gold hookshot!"
And Ines, "A blue hookshot! I don't know how to use this... I'll figure it out, I think."
Finally, Brian. "A brown hookshot. Oh, happy day." Sarcastic much? "... :D;"
They all thanked their ghosts and went to the exit, meeting everyone else at the entrance to the hole.
Nicole grinned. "WOWZERS, LET'S DO IT AGAIN!" she yelled, turning around to jump in the hole again.
"HEY!" Link pulled Nicole back. "No, we have to get to the Sacred Forest Meadow as soon as possible--"
Ines interrupted him. "Uhh, actually, Link, first we need to go to Lon Lon Ranch and see how Malon is."
Link stared at her. "How... do you know about Malon? I never introduced you to her..."
Nicole rolled her eyes. "Duh, Link, Pow--"
Link cut her off. "OOOOOOOK, forget I asked."
They all exited the graveyard, continuing through Hyrule Field. But for some reason they stopped on the little bridge above the small stream leading to Zora's River.
"Awww, why did we stop, Linky-poo?" Nicole asked at the sudden halt.
Link's cheeks began to turn a soft pink. "L... Linky-poo? Uhh..."
Everyone else noticed this. Brian grinned, playfully nudging Link in the ribs. "Hey, when Ruto called you that, you didn't blush!"
"Oh, it looks like our "Linky-poo" has a crush!" Gilbert laughed.
Nicole gasped overdramatically. "WHAT?! HE DOES?! HEY, WHO DOES HE LIKE!? TELL ME, PLEEEEASE!" Then a 'thoughtful' pause. "Is it me?"
Everyone but Nicole stared at her and fell over. "O.o;;??"
Nicole pouted. "HOW COME YOU GUYS ALWAYS DO IT FIRST?! My turn!" She fell over. "Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow... my head, my head, my head, my head..."
Ines and Hayarpi exchanged glances. Then they said, "Anyway... WOOOOOO! Link has a cruuuush! Link has a cruuuuush!"
Link's cheeks reddened more and he swatted at them. "I DO NOT!" While inside in his mind, he thought, 'Ohcrapohcrapohcrap...'
Ines giggled. "Uh huh, of COURSE you don't..."
"Hmmm, I wonder what he's thinking..." mused Hayarpi aloud.
Link laughed nervously. "Ehehe, um, anyway, we should go to Malon now. I wanna see what happened during these last seven years."
Nicole nodded. "Yeah, he's right. What if something bad happened?"
"Wow, she was serious," Gilbert whispered to the others. Hayarpi reminded him of her ever-ocurring mood wings. He 'oh'-ed.
"Well?!" Suddenly realizing that she had been serious for a moment, Nicole's eyes widened. "Oh no. AAAAAAAAAHHH! I WAS SERIOUS! MY INSANITY IS SLIPPING AWAY! NOOOO! Ahh!" She paused, then shrugged. "At least I still have most of it:D;;"
"Well, use it more often!" Link told her. "I want you to be insane! If you're not, I'll kill myself."
Everyone else eyed him wearily.
Link stared back. "... What? I was just kidding..."
"Uhh... riiiiiight." Hayarpi said. "C'mon and let's go or else, we'll never finish this thing!"
Agreeing, they all went across the bridge and headed towards Lon Lon Ranch.
-
"WE'RE HERE, LINKY-POO!"
Link blushed again, swatting at her. "S-Stop calling me that! Please?"
Nicole shrugged. grinning widely. "Ok."
Gilbert stared. "That's it? "Ok" is your answer? Don't you wanna go with something more wackier?"
"Well, he DID ask politely if I can stop." She paused again. "OH NOOO! MY INSANITY! AAAAAHHHHHH!
"Uhh..." Brian said. "Ooooookkkk, let's go inside!"
They all enter Lon Lon Ranch. Link looked around, immediately sensing something wrong about this place. "Hey, I sense an evil presence here..."
Hayarpi and the others felt it too. "Let's check out this place more."
Nicole, who had gone off while the others were feeling the evil presence, stood beside Ingo, staring into the corral full of horses. "HEY, YOU GUYS! COME HERE! THERE'S A PEN FULL OF HORSES!"
Brian looked. "Really?! WOW! I'M COMING!" And he ran forward to where she stood, also looking out at the animals.
Link blinked. "... HEY! WAIT FOR ME, TOO!" He followed and went to where Nicole and Brian were standing.
Hayarpi sweatdropped. "They sure are crazy for horses."
Gilbert nodded. "Yeah, I mean, what's the deal?"
"They must know how to ride..." Ines mumbled to herself.
Gilbert heard her and looked her direction. "You don't know how to ride a horse?"
Ines looked at him too, looking mock-offended. "Of course I do!" A pause. "I mean, I... uhh..."
Hayarpi sighed. "Ok, fine, I'll admit that the three of us don't know how to ride a horse, right?"
"Yes..." Gilbert and Ines said in a low, almost whispering voice.
Hayarpi grinned, leaning forward. "Huh? What did you say?" She asked again.
"WE SAID THAT WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO RIDE A FREAKIN' HORSE, OK?! GOD! ARE YOU DEAF?!" Both Gilbert and Ines yelled.
Crickets chirped.
Hayarpi stared at them. "O.o;;;? Ok, it's not a big deal! I don't know how, either!"
Nicole, Brian and Link heard them yell. "You don't know how? Ok, I'll teach you!" Nicole looked at Gilbert. "Gilbert, c'mere boy!"
Gilbert bit his lip, looking hesitant. "But, but, what if the horse knocks me down?"
"I SAID C'MERE OR ELSE HEEEEEERE'S MR. SHARP TEETH!" And Nicole pulled out her hell of a bulldog. As always, it was foaming at the mouth and its eyes were bloodshot.
"Ok, ok!" he said. 'I'll go only if she doesn't stuff me in that dog's mouth.' Gilbert thought wearily.
Nicole petted Mr. Sharp Teeth, keeping her hands away from it's face area. "Yes, you're a good boy! What a good dog you are! Here's a treat!" She reached into her pocket and gave him an elephant bone.
Mr. Sharp Teeth growled at the sight of food. "GRRRRRRR!" He started chewing the bone and soon it was a small white pile of dust.
"Nicole, I'll go to you only if he's not ANYWHERE near us." Gilbert said, gesturing to the crazy dog in front of her.
"Ok, fine. Here, doggy! Have another one!" She pulled out a t-rex bone. How she was able to do that, no one's quite sure, but still.
Brian stared. "Hey, where'd you get that t-rex bone?"
Gilbert started laughing maniacally. "BWAHAHAHAHA!"
"Remember our field trip to "La Brea Tar Pits" and me and Gilbert were taking pictures?" Nicole asked, grinning widely.
Ines nodded. "Oh yeah, huh, the dinosaur museum..." She blinked. "So?"
"Ehehehe... I took the t-rex's leg bone when none of your little paper eyes were looking... ehehehehe..."
- FLASHBACK! -
"Ok, students, don't go anywhere near the dinosaur bones ok?" Mrs. L. told her class.
Nicole grinned an evil grin. "Ehehehehehehe..."
Gilbert wasn't paying attention as he was taking a few pictures. "Nicole, c'mere! Look at the t-rex! Cool, huh?"
The rest of the class had gone forward, leaving Gilbert and Nicole alone in the T-rex display hall. "Ehehehehehe..."
Gilbert eyed her. "... Why are you laughing?"
She grinned stupidly. "I'm gonna take his leg."
"Hah, you're so funny!"
"... No really, I am."
"... What?"
"What?!"
"You're not serious!"
"Too bad, I am. AND IF YOU EVER TELL ANYONE, I'LL SHOVE YOU IN HIS MOUTH!" And from there she took out her beloved rabid pooch.
Gilbert stared. "Dogs aren't allowed in here!" Then he paused. "Aww, who cares... as long as I don't get eaten..." Then his conscience slapped against his brain again. "But Nicole! You DO know what happens if you take JUST the leg, right?"
"CRASH!"
"Exactly! Y--" He began to panic as he watched her advancing towards the skeleton. "No no, don't! Jeez, I know you're insane, but you CAN'T be crazy enough to do this-- 'EY! WHAT'RE YOU DO--"
"AHAHAHAHA!" Ignoring Gilbert, she took the leg bone, and stuffed it in her pocket. How it fit, I don't know. But the dinosaur bones began to collapse and she ran as fast as they could back to their class, dragging Gilbert along also.
The Tour Guide turned around at the noise, then watched in horror as the bones fell one by one. "OH MY GOD! WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! I'M GONNA GET FIRED FOR SURE!"
Nicole and Gilbert were laughing hysterically a few feet away. "BWAHAHAHA!"
- END OF FLASHBACK! -
Gilbert laughed. "BWAHAHA! THAT WAS THE BEST FIELD TRIP IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!"
Nicole giggled. "Mwehehehe..."
Link stared at them. "What's a dinosaur? And what's a t-rex?"
Ines slapped her forehead. "Why are you listening when you don't know what it is?"
Ingo interrupted them all, going in between them. He completely changed the subject, as he was tired of listening to these random teenagers talking about old field trips and bones. "Hey, you young'ns! All you pay me ten rupees and I'll let you borrow the horse for an hour!"
"Now where did THAT come from?" Hayarpi asked herself.
"Oh just pay him." Ines sighed. And everyone did so, paying him each ten rupees.
Ingo nodded, looking at the money in his hands. "Thank ye, young'ns! Now go do whatever yer supposed to be doin'!" Then he walked away.
Nicole shrugged and looked at everyone else. "Anyway, Stinky Cheese man doesn't know anything about dinosaurs. HERE YA GO, MR. SHARP TEETH!" She threw the bone to her doggeh. "Ok, with THAT outta the way..." She looked at Gilbert, yelling, "GILBERT, C'MERE, BOY!"
Gilbert sighed, making his way over to Nicole and the horse she stood beside.
Brian looked at Ines. "Uh huh. Ines! Come here, and I'll teach you how to ride a horse!"
Ines threw up her arms. "Yay!" she cheered, running over to Brian.
Hayarpi watched as the two went, looking at Link. "That leaves me with Link, I guess."
Link grinned as soon as Hayarpi was beside him. "Cool! Ok, Hayarpi, now go to the left side of this horse and hold the reins. Then, put your left foot in the stirrups. These are the stirrups." He walked over and carried the stirrups in his left hand.
She nodded. "Ok." Hayarpi got the reins and stuck her left foot in the stirrup. "Now what?"
"Jump three small times on the ground, then a really high jump. Swing your right leg over the horses' behind and make sure not to hit the rump."
Hayarpi nodded, doing what he said. She successfully got on the horse, then settled herself and looked around. "Wow. High. And that was remarkably easy."
"Good! Now put your right foot in the other stirrup and hold each rein with one of your hands. Once you do that, YOU are in control and the horse will listen to what you say, ok?"
"Cool. I did everything you said. Now what?"
However, Link's focus had drifted and he was looking away, growling. "... Grrrr..."
"What's wrong, Link?" She asked, poking his cheek from where she sat. He didn't do anything. Hayarpi looked over to where he was looking. "Ohhhhhh..."
A few meters away were Nicole and Gilbert, Nicole laughing while Gilbert was struggling to get on the horse.
Link's teeth ground together. "Grr..."
Hayarpi sweatdropped. "Oh... Link, I know you have a crush on Nicole, but it's no big deal."
Link fell over. "WHAT?! HOW DO YOU--" He paused, eyes widening. "Uhh, I mean, no, I DON'T!"
Hayarpi only giggled.
-
Meanwhile with Nicole and Gilbert...
Nicole looked over, seeing Hayarpi giggling with a very pink-cheeked Link. "Hey, Gilbert, look." she said, pointing.
Gilbert paused in trying to mount and looked over his shoulder. He blinked. "Yeah, so?"
"Don't you think they're a great couple?" Nicole asked, grinning.
Gilbert stared at her. "..."
"... o.O?"
"... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
She pouted. "What?! They do!"
Gilbert shook his head. "Nah. If at all, Hayarpi's cute with Brian."
Nicole looked at him. "... Oh?"
Gilbert blinked, then scratched his head. "Ahaha, b-but YOU and LINK make a good couple too!"
Nicole gasped, looking taken aback. "WITH STINKY CHEESE MAN?! NO WAY! I JUST LOVE HIM LIKE A BROTHER, OH RETARDED ONE!"
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA--" Gilbert paused. "What did you call me?"
"MY TURN TO LAUGH! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
-
With Hayarpi and Link...
"Fine, I'll admit it." Link grumbled, then said in a quiet voice. "I sort of like Nicole, ok? Just a teeny bit! I don't know if it's just cuz we grew up or something weird like that, but either way, please, please, please, times a trillion please don't tell her!"
Hayarpi sweatdropped. "Alright, alright! Just teach me how to ride a horse! I'm still on this thing, you know!"
Sweatdropping, Link nodded. "Oh yeah."
They laughed.
-
With Brian and Ines...
"Hey!" Ines said, cantering her horse all over the field. "I think I'm getting the hang of this!"
Brian stared. "I didn't know that you could learn so quickly! I mean, it took you ten minutes to learn how to mount, dismount, walk, trot, canter, gallop and jump!" He gave her a thumbs up. "Good job!"
Ines sighed, satisfied, as she brought her horse to a stop. "Oh, how I love being praised! Anyway, I can handle this now." She dismounted her horse. She heard laughing behind her and looked. "Ooh hey, look." She gestured at Nicole and Gilbert who were laughing.
Brian was looking elsewhere. "No, look here." He nodded at Link and Hayarpi who were giggling.
Ines looked away. "Yanno, I personally think that Hayarpi goes better with you," she commented, grinning smugly.
Brian stared at her. "... //Really//?"
Ines nodded. "Why so shocked?"
"N... No reason, but I think that Gilbert goes better with you."
"And Nicole goes good with Link..." Ines and Brian droned at the same time.
Ines laughed. "Hey! We figured it out!"
Brian sweatdropped. "Sort of. Anyway, I'll tell Ingo that you're done so we can wait for the rest."
"Cool."
About thirty minutes passed.
-
With Hayarpi and Link...
Link stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm... you're all done! Nothing else to teach you."
"Really?" Hayarpi asked. He nodded. "YAAAY!" And with that she gave Link a high five.
Link sweatdropped. "I'll tell Ingo that we're finished."
-
With Nicole and Gilbert...
"Well, the mounting took a while, but everything else was fantastic." Nicole said.
"So, I'm ready?"
Nicole patted him on the head. "Yup, oh stupid one."
"Thank you for teaching me, oh insane one!" And he bowed to her.
Nicole burst out laughing. "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Gilbert looked up. "What was THAT for?!"
Nicole held her stomach, managing out, "Wahaha! I saw your BOXERS! PINK PONIES AND RAINBOWS?! OH MY GOD! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OW MY STOMACH!"
-
Link, in the distance and who had been watching them, kept growling. "Grrr...!"
He was about to march over when Hayarpi saw him. "Link!" She pulled him back, whispering, "It's ok, calm down, she's still yours..." over and over again in his ear until he calmed down.
Link sighed as Hayarpi released him. "Thanks, Hayarpi."
Hayarpi gave him a thumbs up. "Anything for a fool in love!" She started laughing. "BWAHAHAHA!"
Link blushed and smacked her shoulder. "The word 'love' is a bit too much..."
"But a fool in 'like' sounds dumb."
"..."
-
"Nicole, please don't tell anyone..." Gilbert grumbled.
Nicole shook her head. "Nah, don't worry, I know you'll slaughter me if I do. Let's go visit Link and Hayarpi!" She dragged Gilbert with her to the other two. "Yo! What have you two been doing?"
Link's eyes widened at her sudden appearance. "W-we and H-h-h-h-hayarp-pi w-were-- OW!"
Hayarpi had just stomped on Link's foot. "LINK!"
Nicole and Gilbert stared at them. "O.o"
"Ahhh, I mean, LINK stop stuttering!" Hayarpi said, laughing and ignoring the Hylian as he jumped around clutching his foot.
"OWOWOWOWOW!"
"Ehehe! Anyway, he said that we were talking about some stuff..." She looked at Gilbert. "GILBERT! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!" She grabbed him and went to a corner, away from Link and Nicole.
Nicole blinked. "Well! The antler just left the treehouse, 'ey, you cute widdle pink pony?" She laughed hysterically. "MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Link stared at her. "O.o;;;?" Then he realized what she said and blushed slightly. "Me, cute?"
Nicole sweatdropped. "NAH! I was just jokin', you camel with a girlfriend!"
"... Oh." He blinked. "Uhh... huh... now what?"
Nicole paused. "Umm, we could..."
'Finally! We could do something together!' Link thought happily.
"I know! We could go over and talk to Ines and Brian!" Nicole suggested.
Link sweatdropped. 'Or... not.' And out loud, he said, "Ok." He walked over to Brian. "Hey dude. What's up?"
Hayarpi popped up beside them. "Hi, I NEED TO TALK TO BRIAN!" She grabbed Brian.
Brian blushed a little as Hayarpi grabbed him. "W-Wait! Where are we going?!" He yelled, being dragged away from Link to a corner where Gilbert was.
Link stared. "Ooooook..."
Nicole walked over to Ines. "HEY, POWERPUFF GIRL! Anything going on?"
"Powerpuff Girl?" Ines asked. The other girl nodded. "... Well anyways-- ack! HAYARPI!"
"Sorry, but I need to talk to Ines, too!" Hayarpi said apologetically, dragging Ines away too.
Nicole scratched her head. "Well, crud." She looked around. "Oh look, it's Stinky Cheese Man!" She ran to Link, grinning. "Hey again, paperclip boy!"
Link laughed a little bit, blood creeping into his cheeks again. "H-h-hi N-n-n-nic!" He mentally slapped himself. 'Ok, pull yourself together Link, stop stuttering before she thinks you're weird!' he thought.
"I think you're weird, stinky cheese man!" Nicole said. "But like me! COOL, HUH?!"
"Too late..." Link muttered to himself.
Nicole blinked. "Huh?"
"Nah, it's nuthin'. So... what's up?"
-
With Hayarpi, Ines, Brian and Gilbert...
"Hayarpi, NOW will you tell us WHY you brought us AWAY from Link and Nicole?" Brian grumbled.
"Isn't that obvious?" she asked softly.
Ines stared. "Uhh... yes?"
Hayarpi sighed. "While Link was teaching me how to ride, he told me something about Nicole."
Gilbert perked up. "Really? Was it something embarrasing? If it is, tell me so I can get back at her for seeing my pink ponied and rainbowed boxers!"
Everyone stared at him. "O.o"
Gilbert blinked. "What?" Pause. "Aww, crap."
Brian laughed. "Don't worry man, we won't tell anyone."
Hayarpi nodded. "Of course not! That's really disturbing if ya think about it... but anyway, you know what?" And she said the next part quitely. "Link has a teeny weeny crush on Nicole."
"WHAT!?" Ines screamed.
Hayarpi sweatdropped and reached over, covering her mouth. "Jeez Ines! Shut up! Link might hear you!"
"I knew it, I knew it, I KNEW IT!" Brian said, grinning widely.
Gilbert sighed. "Duh, all of us knew it! Remember how he acted when Nicole almost died in the market because of that brown thingy?"
"Yeah, and how he reacted when Nicole almost died in Jabu-Jabu's Belly. He said he'd kill himself if she was dead," Ines added. "... But I think that was a teeny overexaggeration or something, haha..."
Hayarpi nodded. "Well either way! But, please don't tell Link I told you and don't act like freakin' idiots when he's talking to Nicole, ok? I don't want you guys to go "woooo!" anymore, because he'll get suspicious and he'll slaughter me and--"
Ines reached over and covered her mouth. "Ok, ok, we get the point."
"Yeah, just stop, motormouth!" Brian said.
Gilbert looked at him. "//Motormouth//?"
Brian nodded. "Yes, a mouth that never stops!"
Gilbert sweatdropped. "Just as I suspected, a cheap joke."
Ines ignored them. "So, we all agree to not tell Link and to not go "wooooo" when Link is talking to Nicole, ok?"
Everybody else nodded and put their hands in a circle. "Agreed!"
"Ok, let's go back to them before Link gets suspicious." said Hayarpi. They all nodded and stood up.
-
With Link and Nicole...
"Really? I can't believe you thought that! I thought the same thing!"
Link laughed. 'Wow, this is going great! I think that I should tell her that I kinda like her. This seems like the right time.' he thought.
"So, should we tell them?" Nicole asked.
"Yeah, we should." Link nodded. "But... uh, before we do... Nicole, I... have something to tell you."
Nicole blinked. "... And?"
"I sorta... I mean I... it's just that..."
Nicole stared. "... What??"
"I... I li--"
"Hey guys! Whatcha been talking' about?"
Nicole and Link looked behind them, where Hayarpi, Ines, Brian and Gilbert were walking their direction. 'Whoa, that was close! If I got interrupted, then I guess that means it's not time yet...' Link breathed.
"Oh, we were just talking about who goes good with who." Nicole said casually.
Hayarpi stared. "O.O Really? Ehehe... well then who?"
"I thought that you would go good with Brian." Link said, grinning.
"And that Ines goes good with Gilbert!" Nicole added.
Gilbert blushed. "Ahah, uhh... really? I thought that you could go good with Link."
Immediately, Link looked at Hayarpi and gave her a glare that could melt ice. She gulped and shook her head 'no'.
"Good..." Link muttered.
Nicole looked at him. "Why did you say 'good', Stinky Cheese Man with an apple in his mouth?"
Link shook his head. "Nothing, nothing..."
All of a sudden, Nicole had a random insane spur. "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" she laughed, hookshotting all over the place.
Everyone stared at her. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Gilbert yelled.
Nicole laughed. "BOO YAH!" she yelled, crashing into Link.
Link caught her, blushing slightly. "Uhh... ummm..."
"Don't let go of me! First, eat my scrunchie!" She said, stuffing a scrunchie in Link's mouth.
Everyone except Link laughed at him. "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Mmmmmpfh!! Mmfppfh, mfhp... MMMMMFPPH MMPFFH!"
Nicole sweatdropped. "SORRY, LINKY-POO!" she grabbed the scrunchie out of his mouth, throwing it aside.
Link willed his blush away, putting Nicole down. "Why did you call me Linky-poo? I thought you promised that you'd stop..."
Nicole gave him a peace sign. "What promise? And if I did, then my fingers were crossed behind my back! Mwahaha!"
Ingo popped up again between them, once again COMPLETELY changing the subject. "Hey, kid!" he said to Nicole. "You seem to be good at riding horses."
Nicole stared at him. "So? "
"I challenge you to a race! Choose a horse and and we'll start!" Then he paused, remembering the rupees he had in his pocket. "Oh, and I'll bet you 50 rupees, that I'll win! And if //you// win, I'll let you keep the horse you rode on."
"I ACCEPT!" Nicole yelled, going inside the horse pen and looking for a horse. 'Hmm, let me see, I just stand here for ten minutes and wait for a horse to come...' she thought.
After a while, a beautiful coal black stallion who was watching Nicole since she arrived, trotted over and nuzzled her chest.
Nicole giggled. "Awww... this horsey likes me!"
The coal black stallion looked up at her and thought, 'I wonder if she really likes me. I'll rear up and see if she forgives me, that way, I'll see if she really DOES want me.'
Suddenly it reared up, kicking its hooves (we all know why). It made a giant cut on Nicole's left arm.
Nicole brought her arms down, then eyed her arm as it leaked blood a little. "AAAAAAHHHHH! O.o;;;;"
Link, from outside the corral, began to yell. "No! Stay away from it! Ok that's it, I'm gonna kill that horse!"
Ingo shrugged. "Ok, go ahead! It never listened to me, or ANYONE in fact, not even Malon or his mom!"
Hayarpi rolled her eyes. "Link, not again!" And she pulled him back, but this time, she whispered, "Calm down, or else, meet my blade." Then she unsheathed her sword and put it against his neck.
Link stared at the shiny metal underneath his chin. "Fine fine, but..."
Hayarpi put the blade closer. "No buts. Calm down or else."
Link began to get nervous. "O-o-ok..."
"Good." and with that she freed him and sheathed her sword.
He rubbed his neck. "x.X;;"
"Ow ow ow ow ow... my arm..." Nicole sweatdropped as she dabbed a towel on it. "Anyway, I'll deal with this later." She looked up at the horse. "Aww, is the stallion afraid? It's ok, nothing will hurt you!" Nicole looked at the ranchowner. "HEY! INGO! WHAT'S THIS HORSES' NAME?!"
"I DON'T KNOW!" Ingo yelled back. "I JUST CALL HIM "STUPID HORSE"! THEN HE KICKS ME!"
Nicole sweatdropped, then looked at the stallion. "Oohkay... OOH, I KNOW! I call you Maniac! It sounds stupid, but that's what you are! Ya like it?"
The stallion sweatdropped, but neighed happily.
"That's weird, you like it." Nicole shrugged. "AHH WHO CARES! I WUV MY WITTLE HORSEY!"
Everyone outside the corral and all the other horses stared at them. "O.o;;??"
Nicole mounted Maniac and unsheathed her sword. "WAHOO! I'M ZORRO! FEEL MY BLADE'S WRATH! ZORROOO!" She bolted out of the corral and rode past Link, cutting an "N" in Link's outfit. ""N" is for Nicole! Turn it to the right, and it's a "Z" for Zorro! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Link looked down at his tunic. "Hey! NICOLE!"
Nicole sweatdropped, slowing her horse down. "Hehe, sorry. Let me sew it back for you." She dismounted Maniac and went to Link.
Link gulped. "Uhh, you don't have to, you know."
"Nah, it's fine!" she took a roll of thread (from where, we do not know), which was exactly Link's tunic's color, and started sewing with a pin.
Link began to blush at how close she was. "Uhh, I'll take it off if you have some difficulties..."
"Don't worry, I'll just sew right here. Anyway, it'll be a waste of time."
Link blushed even more. "Uhhh... a-a-alright..."
Hayarpi and Ines giggled silently in the background.
Gilbert leaned over, whispering to Brian. "Hoho, hmm, Nicole's slipping a little flirty-flirty..."
"That's not really flirty-flirty," Brian whispered back. "She's just //sewing//."
Gilbert shrugged. "Whatever. :D;;"
Nicole finished in record time, taking back her pin and thread. "There ya go! All done!"
"T-thank y-y-you..." Link muttered, mentally slapping himself again for stuttering.
"Yer welcome!" She laughed and slapped him on the back and gave him a hug.
"Ow! x.X Thanks again..."
Nicole nodded. "Yer welcome again, sonny! And why do you keep on blushing? Soon, you'll be redder than a tomato!" she added with a stupid grin.
Link scratched the back of his head. "I'll... try to stop."
Nicole shrugged, mounting Maniac again. "WHEE! I'M ZORRO! AGAIN!"
Zorro music played in the backround.
Ingo's eye twitched, throwing a rock at her. "STOP FOOLIN' AROUND, GIRL! ARE YOU READY!?"
Nicole yelped as she was hit by the rock, but nodded at Ingo anyway. "Yeeees!"
Ingo sighed and mounted his horse. "Good!"
They both trotted over to where the race started.
Nicole hissed a little as she realized she still had a cut on her arm. "Ow, my arm still hurts..." she muttered, looking down at it. "Ick."
'Uh oh...' Manic thought. 'I guess that it was a bad idea to give her a cut... I'M SO STUPID!' He paused. 'Oh, I got it! I'll just win this race for her! Then, I can finally get away from this stupid ranch! MWAHAHA!' (A/N: It looks like Maniac and Nicole have the same personalities! Strange, huh?)
Ingo looked at Nicole. "Ready?"
Nicole looked up. "Yeahsurewhatever!"
"Okay... ready, set, GO!"
A few seconds later...
Nicole laughed victoriously. "MWAHAHAHAHA! I WIN!" She patted her horse's neck. "THANKS SO MUCH, MANIAC! I GET TO KEEP YOU, NOW!"
'That's weird, she knew it was me,' the horse thought. 'Eh, who cares. I'M THE HORSE OF AN INSANE WOMAN! YAHOO!'
"I can keep Maniac! I can keep Maniac! I can keep Maniac! MWAHAHA! I'M THE HORSE QUEEN! MWAHAHAHA!" She began to canter around the ranch with Maniac. "Mwahaha!"
Ingo bit his lip. "Darn it all! Ok, I needed to get rid of some of these horses anyway..." He looked at Hayarpi. "YOU! THE GIRL IN THE RED! PICK A HORSE, AND LET'S GO!"
Hayarpi grinned. "Yay! Me next! Ok, who to chose..." She walked up to a light brown mare. "Aww, she's so calm... I wonder if she's fast..." Hayarpi mounted the horse.
The mare looked up, feeling a new weight on her back. 'Hmm, who's this? She seems ok...'
Hayarpi looked down at the animal. "Umm, do you think you can gallop as fast as you can so I can see how fast you are?"
Nodding, the mare neighed in an excited manner and sprints off.
"WHOA! YOU'RE FAST! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" And she went on like that for a while.
Everyone else stared at her.
"Oh wait, oh wait, I know what to do!" Hayarpi yelled after a while. She gently tugged on the reins.
Feeling something tugging at the edges of her mouth, the mare immediately responded and slowed to a halt.
Hayarpi blinked, smoothing back her hair. "Wow, if you go that fast, and you react that quickly, I CHOSE YOU, PIKACHU!" She paused. "I mean, HEY INGO! WHAT'S THIS HORSES' NAME??"
Ingo had transferred to another horse. "Well, we call her Dash."
"COOL! A horse with a nice name!" Hayarpi said. "Ok, I CHOSE YOU, uhh... OH YEAH! DASH!"
"Yeah, yeah, stop yer blubbering." Ingo grumbled. "C'mon!"
Hayarpi and Ingo trotted over to the starting line.
"Ok, ready, set... GO!"
