Chapter 21: Eh, it's a short chapter. Writer's block.
"Off to the Haunted Wasteland!" Ines said.
"Yeah!" everyone said. Everybody ran to the gate of the Haunted Wasteland and found it closed.
"Great. Now what?!" Hayarpi said.
"I'll go up there and ask for it to be opened!" Gilbert volunteered.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU'RE A MAN!" the girls shouted.
Gilbert grinned. "No woman can resist my beauty." Everyone fell over.
"Sure, whatever you say, Gilbert-o!" Nicole said, winking.
Gilbert started climbing up the ladder, and the moment he got all the way up, they heard a woman screaming. Before they knew it, poor Gilbert was being thrown off the huge tower... thing. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH--" he yelled while falling. He was cut off as he hit the ground face down.
"Ooooh that must've hurt..." Link grumbled.
"OF COURSE IT HURT!" Gilbert screamed, getting up slowly.
"Why don't I do it?" Hayarpi asked. She climbed up the ladder and once she got all the way up, they heard the same woman squeal with happiness because she got to see Hayarpi, or "Din, one of the Mighty Goddesses". The gate opened and they were granted access to the Haunted Wasteland. Hayarpi started climbing down, smiling all the way. "I rock." Gilbert stuck his tongue out at her.
"Stop fighting, you two, and let's go!" they heard Navi say. Everyone nodded and started heading into the desert. A sandstorm had started. The deeper they went, the worse the storm got.
"AHH! AHH!! SAND GOT IN MY EYES!!" Gilbert cried, running around in random directions. Everyone sweatdropped.
"Gilbert! You stupid person, you!" Nicole said. "Sand won't kill ya!"
"BUT IT BURNS!! IT BUUUUUUURNS!!"
"So?"
"YOU'RE HEARTLESS!!"
"Not all the time..." Nicole grinned.
"Okay, so where do we go?" Link asked, scanning the horizon, which they couldn't really see.
Hayarpi ahemed and everyone looked at her. "The lady told me to follow the poles with the red flags."
"RED FLAGS!! WOO HOO!!" Nicole yelled. Everyone inched away.
"Oh... kay..."
"Follow the red flags!" said Ines.
"YAY!!" they all yelled.
So they used their hover boots to cross the river of sand. Everyone was able to see through the sandstorm well enough that they saw the poles with the flags. After following a few of them, they reached a sign shaped like an arrow that said something about a shop and I'm too lazy to look it up now. They followed the arrow and were lead to a bridge. Soon, they saw a floating carpet with a man sitting down, Indian style. There was a gap between the bridge and the man.
"Helllloooo, my pretties!" he said to them. "Aren't you going to come over here and see what I've got for sale?"
"Should we?" Brian asked.
"I guess." said Ines.
"Navi, have any info on that guy?" Link asked. Nicole whacked him on the head. "Oww!!"
"Stupid, he isn't an enemy!" she said.
"WELL?!" the man on the carpet shouted across to them. They sweatdropped and put on their hover boots again. They walked in mid-air over the gap and onto the carpet.
"I'm selling something STUPENDOUS! MAGNIFICENT! GREAT! VERY COOL! AND IT'S LIMITED, TOO! BUY BUY BUY!!" the man yelled over the screaming sandstorm. Everyone raised their eyebrows in interest.
"What is it?!" Nicole shouted over the storm.
"You'll have to buy it first!" he screamed. Everyone fell over.
"HOW MUCH?!" Link asked/shouted.
"300 RUPEES!!"
"OH MY GOD!!"
"Link, didja get the bigger wallet?! The one that can hold 500 rupees?!" Ines shouted.
"Yup!! And it's filled up, too!"
"Buy it! It sounds interesting!" Gilbert yelled.
"Okay!" Link gave the man 300 rupees and the man grinned slyly.
He gave them some bombchu.
Everyone looked wide-eyed at the man. "BOMBCHU?!"
"YES! MAGNIFICENT! NOW, SEE YA LATER!" the man shouted, grinning successfully. As the carpet sped off, everyone flew off the carpet and onto the bridge. "HAHA!" laughed the man. Then, he and the carpet flew away. (O.o)
"What a rip off! Link should get his money back!" Nicole yelled.
"Too late, the guy flew away!" shouted Link.
"I told you not to buy it!" Navi said.
"YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!" they all shouted at her. Navi sweatdropped.
"Oh yeah...!"
Can you please continue with going to the Desert Colossus now?!
"SURE!" yelled everyone. They took off their hover boots, put on their regular boots and continued following the flags. Soon, they got to this whole building-like thing and climbed down the ladder. Link went over and opened the chest, getting some rupees.
"So... nothing else in here?" asked Brian.
"Guess not..." Navi said.
"I think I ran out of clean underwear." Nicole said. Everyone's eyes widened and backed away. She continued, "I think we all ran out of clean underwear!"
"(cough) Um, we should get outta here." Ines suggested. Everyone nodded and exited the building-like thing, entering the desert once more. They got on the roof of the building and read the stone with words on top.
'Hi. I'm a stone with words. Follow the invisible Poe with your Lens of Truth! He'll guide you to the Desert Colossus.'
"Ooooh, really?" Link asked.
'Yeah!' the stone responded.
"o.O;;;"
"Listen to the nice stone thingy!" Nicole said, sweatdropping.
Everyone whipped out their Lens of Truth and saw a Poe. "Hi! My name is George the Pope! I mean Poe!"
"AHHHHHHHH! ATTACK! ATTAAAAAACK!!" they all yelled, firing their fire arrows at the Poe.
"OWW! OWW, THE PAAAAIN!! JUST FOR THAT, I'M NOT HELPING!" screamed George, crying like an idiot and floating away.
"... He was supposed to help us, wasn't he?" Link asked.
They all nodded. "..."
Another Poe appeared out of nowhere. "'Ello! By George, where is George anyway?" said the Poe with a British accent.
Nicole laughed sheepishly. "Um... he ran-- I mean floated away."
"Oh, and why is that?"
"We attacked him!"
"So that means you have no one to lead you to the temple?"
"Nope."
"Oh, jolly good! I have something to do now!" everyone sweatdropped.
"Follow me, and don't be slow! Or else I will leave you here!" the British Poe said, floating away from them. Everyone followed him and were soon lead into the Desert Colossus.
"Thanks a lot, Mr. British Poe!" Hayarpi said.
"Oh no, thank yoooou!" it said happily and floating away.
"Kay."
"C'mon, let's go!" said Gilbert. They all ran for the temple and entered it.
"Ooooooh, coolie oolie stuff!" Nicole said, looking around.
The Hylian climbed up the steps and searched for anything that could lead him further into the temple. He saw a huge silver block with a kind of moon symbol on it. Link walked over and tried to push the block, but it didn't budge.
"Man, this is heavy!" said Link, trying to push the block again. Nicole started jogging over to Link and the huge block, but she was stopped as an electric barrier appeared and knocked her all the way to the opposite side of the room.
"NICOLE!" everyone screamed, running towards their fallen friend. Link got there first and held her up.
"x.X Ooooowwwwww..."
"What the hell was that?!" Hayarpi said, looking towards the block and the electric barrier.
"Must be Ganondork..." Brian said.
"YEP! I DID THAT!! HAHA, AND NO, NOT GANONDORK, GANONDORG, I MEAN GANONDORF!!" said Ganondorf from out of nowhere.
"... Wait, what?" Ines asked.
"MY NAME IS GANOOOOOOOONDOOOOOOOOORF!!"
"WE DON'T CAAAAAARE!" everyone yelled.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! MOOMMMY, THEY'RE BEING MEAN!!"
"O.o;;;;"
"He is so freaky sometimes..." said Navi.
"Sometimes?" Link said.
"Oh fine, all the time."
Gilbert stared at his unconscious friend. "What will we do about Nicole?"
"I have a red potion!" Brian said, taking out a bottle. He always seemed to have red potion ready, huh? Anyway he poured it into Nicole's mouth and she felt better instantly.
"I feel much better! Thank ya, Brian."
"S'okay!"
"Let's just stay away from that block for now." said Navi. They all walked towards a small hole in the wall near the place where Nicole crash-landed.
"Hey, we could fit there if we were small..." Hayarpi said, examining the hole.
"Then off to the Temple of Time!" Link said.
-
As soon as everyone exited the Spirit Temple, their old friend dropped by.
"(sigh) Hi Sheik." everyone said bored-like.
"Hey. Time is like a river, you go upstream-"
"No speeches, up to the point!" Ines said.
"Link, take out your ocarina cuz I'm gonna teach ya a song!"
"YAY!!" Link whipped out his ocarina and Sheik whipped out his harp. He played the Requiem of Spirit and Link repeated it perfectly.
"WOO HOO!!" everyone shouted.
"You learned the Requiem of Spirit!" said the box again. The Ocarina of Time sparkled with sparkles.
Link stared at his ocarina. "Ooooh, shprinkles!"
"Shprinkles?"
"Shprinkles!"
"Oh okay!"
"Okay, I'll go now." Sheik said. "Good luck with the temple." He disappeared in another flash.
"Wait! Aw man, he left..." Link said.
"All right, he left!" Ines said.
"I HEARD THAT!" came Sheik's voice.
"I wanna go home!!" Nicole whined.
"Seriously?!" everyone asked her.
"Well, no... I WANNA STAY HERE WITH LINKY-POO!!" she replied, jumping in Link's arms.
":D;;" Link dropped Nicole on her butt.
"Oww!! Paaaaiiin..."
"Why does everyone say 'the paaaiiin' or 'paaaiiinnn' in this fic a lot?" Navi asked.
"We haven't said that." Hayarpi, Brian, Ines, Gilbert and Link said. A huge piece of the Temple broke off and fell on them. "... THE PAAAAIIIINNN..."
"HAHA!" Nicole laughed. Navi giggled and used her fairy powers to lift off the debris. "Where are we going again?"
"Temple of Time!" Link said. He played the Prelude of Light, and soon enough, they were in the Temple of Time. Everyone walked over to the pedestal and Link unsheathed his sword. They all placed their hands on his shoulder and Link drove the Master Sword into the Pedestal of Time.
WAAARPING!! YAY!

7 years ago...
"We're KIDS again!" they all shouted.
"Kids? We're pre-teens!" Hayarpi said. "Except Link."
"-.-;;" Link rolled his eyes. He started walking out of the temple. Navi shrugged and followed the boy.
The earthlings looked at each other. "Is he angry?" Brian asked.
"Maybe he's depressed." said Ines.
"I AM NOT DEPRESSED!" screamed Link from outside.
"O.O;;;"
"Uh, let's go before the nice green man decides to hurt us." said Nicole.
"Good idea..." Gilbert said. Everyone started running out of the Temple of Time, meeting Link outside. He looked very pissed.
"WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU DOING IN THERE?! TOOK YA LONG ENOUGH!" the child Link scolded them. Everyone looked at him. Where the heck did this sudden mood swing come from?
"Why are you mad?"
"I AIN'T MAD!"
"YOU'RE MAD!"
"SCIENTIST!" Nicole yelled. Everyone glared at her. "What? Just trying to cheer everyone up..."
"Well, it's not working!!" Link yelled.
"What's wrong with you exactly?!" Ines asked.
"I'm tired of all your insults towards me! I'm a person too! I have feelings tooo!" sobbed Link, dropping to his knees and crying loudly. VERY VERY LOUDLY. "WAAAAAAAH! NONE OF YOU LIKE ME! I'M USELESS TO YOU! YOU GUYS DO MOST OF THE WORK! WHY DON'T I JUST DIE RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW?!" cried Link, unsheathing his Kokiri Sword and raising it above him, the point closest to his body.
"LINK, NOOO!!" they all yelled.
"Why not?! I'm not worth anything! I'd rather DIE than take anymore of your insults!! I'm not a dumb blond! Just because I'm a blond doesn't mean I'm stupid!!"
"Whoever said we didn't like you?" Nicole asked.
Link glared at them all. "It's so obvious!" He started mocking what they said in the past. "'Kids? We're pre-teens! Except Link! Link is like a brother that is wearing spandex under his dress! Damn Link, don't take everything so seriously! Link, shut your trap! Link, you're such an idiot! Link has been an idiot ever since I first met him!' It's all the same!! I KNOW there were more insults than that!"
Nicole looked up to meet Link's flaring blue eyes. "Look, we're sor--"
"Sorry?! Is THAT all you can say?!"
"YES! WE'RE SORRY!" everyone apologized.
"I don't forgive you! Not even saying sorry a thousand times would forgive all those things you said to me!!"
"Link, please. Can we at least finish this quest?" Navi pleaded.
"Fine! But I don't want to talk to them!" Link shouted. Everyone looked at him, eyes widened. They decided not to say anything. Link was already pissed off more than ever and they didn't want to push him any further.
"(sighs) All right..." Navi turned her light off and flew forwards. The kokiri raised boy followed angrily. Everyone dragged themselves forward, regretting all those insults and bad things they've said to Link before.
"I knew he would break one day..." Hayarpi murmured. "I just didn't think that it would be so soon..."
"That's it," Brian said, "We didn't think about how Link would feel afterwards. We shouldn't have teased him so much..."
They decided that they should be quiet now...
Link overheard them. And he didn't really know what triggered that spontaneous outburst of his. He knew they were playing. But certain things just built up.
He knew he was completely wrong when he said that none of them liked him. For Din's sake, even when he was already dead in the Fire Temple, they took his body with them because they couldn't leave him in there. They watched over him after he got beat up by that evil thing in the well. They laughed with him during fun times at Lon Lon Ranch. They made him feel better when he was down.
He bit his lip, regretting acting so dramatically earlier. He knew his friends were truly sorry...
