Link ran as fast as he could towards the train station. He stuck his head into each of the trains, looking desperately for the other ghost he'd met. Then he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. With relief and some dread, he turned around.

"What're you doing here again?" asked the man that Link had been looking for. "Searching for some more trouble?"

"No," Link answered coldly.

"Then what is it you want?"

"I want you to show me who to touch stuff," Link said blankly. The man snorted a laugh. "Hey, I'm serious here! Tell me how!"

"Get out of here!" the guy demanded. "Now!"

"No! Not until you show me how!"

"Beat it, kid! You're wastin' my time!" The man swung his fist at Link, hitting him in the jaw.

Link shook it off. "Listen, mister. I'm not leaving here until you show me how to touch objects!"

The man rolled his eyes back and stuck out his tongue. Link crossed his arms, undaunted. The other ghost glared at Link, then smiled and held out his hand. "Well, I see I've come across an equal adversary! The name's Merman. Eddie Merman. . .oh wait, I forgot. You can't touch me, can you? Come along with me, son."

"My name's Link," he said, following Eddie.

"Right. Let's go down this alley where no one will see us. Well, you know. . .the objects we'll be moving." They stopped in a deserted lane, and Eddie told Link to stop. He did, and then Eddie walked a few paces in front of them. "See this bottlecap here in front of me?"

"Yes, I do."

Grinning, Eddie got down on his hands and knees, and put his index finger down on the ground. He flicked it towards Link, and it stopped right at his feet. "Easy as pie, good chap."

Link stared down at the bottle cap in amazement. "How'd you do it?!"

"Get down on your knees, boy," Eddie instructed. Link did so. "That's it. . .now just suck up all your anger. Your anger, your love, your passion- -feel it in your gut there?--and now take it out on that bottlecap."

Closing his eyes, Link flicked the bottle cap. He felt it, and heard it skid across the pavement. "I. . .I did it, Eddie!"

"Good job, lad," Eddie congratulated him. "'Course, the smaller the easier. Try. . . hmm, what's in here. . ." He started rummaging around in a garbage can. "Ah, here we go!" He took out an old Pepsi can. "Try this one." Eddie kicked the can towards Link.

Still excited from his previous victory, Link aimed at the can and swung his leg. He didn't miss. However, his leg went right threw it. He almost fell, but managed to catch himself in time.

"Anger, boy," Eddie said. "Get all your angry passion in mind!"

"Got it," Link muttered, readying himself again. He got the picture of Marth kissing Zelda in his mind, and he angrily tried to kick at the can. The next thing he knew, he was on his back.

Hearing the sound of uproarious laughter, he sat up. "What happened?" he asked.

"You were trying so hard!" Eddie laughed. "And you slipped on your foot trying to--to kick it!" He was laughing so hard, it was messing up his speech.

"Would you stop that laughing?!" Link asked angrily. "Stop laughing Eddie, I mean it! Stop!"

"You're such an idiot!" Eddie guffawed.

Link swung his leg at the Pepsi can once more. This time, it sailed through the air, and banged Eddie on the head. He collapsed to the ground, unconcious.

Grinning smugly, Link walked over to his teacher. "Sorry, Eddie. I can't stay. Got things to do. But now that I've gotten your help, I can ski- daddle!"
