Aria: Sorry it took me a while to post today! I got into trouble a few
days ago and my parents won't let me use the computer, so I've had to sneak
in updates. Also, I really hate to tell you all this but, my family is
leaving to visit relatives in New Jersey on Wednesday and I might not be
able to update on Tuesday or Wednesday and I won't be back until Sunday and
might not be able to update until Monday! I'm warning you because by the
way I've got the chapters rolling now; you're all going to be left at a
really nasty cliffhanger. Sorry!
Darunia: *shakes head worriedly* So, who's going to watch the goddesses
while you're away?
Aria: *gives him pitiful look* Could you look after them for me?
Darunia: Alright, but shouldn't you have known better than to get in
trouble?
Aria: It was a perfectly human mistake! They're practically turning it
into a federal case and I already said I was sorry about a million times!
Sheesh! You sound like my mother!
Darunia: She sounds mad. I might as well do the disclaimers now. Aria

Chapter 23: The Argument
Tetra awoke the next morning to the sun's rays warming her face. She
blinked and surveyed her surroundings once her eyes had adjusted. She was
still inside the cave and the remains of the fire from the night before lay
in a neat pile at the center of the cave, but she couldn't see any sign of
Link anywhere.
She started to get to her feet, but a sharp pain in her leg caused her to
cry out and fall back down to the cave floor. She lay there for a moment,
unsure of what she should do next. She heard the sound of someone rushing
towards the cave and lifted her head to see Link running up to her.
"What happened? I heard you and ran back here as fast as I could," he said
breathlessly, a look of concern on his face. "It's okay. I just tried to
stand up, forgetting about my ankle, and it reminded me; loudly," Tetra
said. He sat down next to her and helped her into a sitting position.
"You really shouldn't have done that; you might have done more harm than
good," Link rebuked, his voice belying his statement with his concern. "I
know; but I already told you, I forgot," She replied. "So, what were you
doing that you left me alone here for?" she asked, changing the subject.
"I just wanted to get a better look at the area we're in. That
thunderstorm really wreaked a lot of havoc on the plateau above us, but it
barely did anything to the trees down here," Link said. "So, you went
exploring, in other words," she said dryly. "Pretty much," Link replied.
"Did you find anything interesting?" she asked. "In pirate's terms or
hero's terms?" he asked. "Hero's," she said. Link flinched and said,
"You're not gonna like this, but I found about ten Bokoblins running around
while I was out there." "Wonderful; more monsters," she said
sarcastically. "Anything else?" "Not really, except when I went back to
that clearing we were in the day before, I noticed something different
about that arch," he said.
"You went back there?" Tetra asked in disbelief. "Why?" "It seemed really
suspicious that those Stalfoses suddenly showed up when we reached that
clearing. I wanted to see if they were guarding anything," Link said
sheepishly. "So, what seemed different?" she asked once her shock had worn
off. "There seemed to be these strange ornaments on it along with the
writing," he replied. "Well, then, let's go see them!" Tetra said, nearly
starting to her feet before Link caught her arm.
"Hold it. There are a number of reasons why either of us, especially you,
shouldn't leave right now," Link said determinedly. "And, they are?" Tetra
asked. "First, your ankle is still sprained and if you go charging off
into the forest to see that arch, you could twist it or worse. Second,
there are a lot of monsters out there and, with your ankle, you're in no
condition to fight them. And, third, you still need to let your ankle take
a break, before you start using it again. Anyway, I don't think you want
to be carried again and even if you did, if any monsters attacked us, it
would be very hard to fight them like that," Link said firmly, crossing his
arms in a final manner.
"Oh, fine. We'll stay here for today, but tomorrow, I want to see that
arch again," Tetra said sulkily. "Fine by me," Link said. He turned
around as if he was going to walk out of the cave. "Where are you going?"
Tetra asked. "For a walk," Link said without looking over his shoulder.
"Oh, that's a real smart thing to do; just leaving me here by myself!" she
spat crossly.
Link turned around to face her and he looked furious. "Tetra, why are you
all of a sudden being so tyrannical?!" he demanded. "Because, you're being
so pigheaded!" she snapped. "Then, why should I stay here if you're going
to be so insulting?" he said. "If you don't want to be here, then just go
already!" Tetra snarled. "Fine! I'm going and I'm not coming back!" Link
said.
After saying this, he ran out of the cave and vanished into the forest.
Suddenly, Tetra felt a sense of loneliness and realized what exactly she
had said. "Link, come back!" she cried in vain.
Aria: Yeah, I know; evil cliffhanger! Scream! I'm already feeling guilty,
so please understand my situation here.
Darunia: What do guppies eat?
Aria: There's a container of fish flakes by the fish tank! Just feed them
once in the morning and once in the evening and only give them a quarter-
teaspoonful!
Darunia: *writes notes on notepad* Got it!
Aria: Anyway, that's it for chapter twenty-three. Please read and review?
