This fic has departed from all sanity. I'll do my best to divert it in a more sane direction, but it's not going to be anything like it originally was. I've come to think of the eerie jump to romance as a good thing, since this story would have come to a standstill without it. As it is, that element will cause it to go someplace other than some black hole...

Day Negative Two Thousand Five Hundred Forty Five, Day Three in Termina, Tenth Three Day Cycle: 1:00 AM, Five Hours Remain
The Moon
Link's reserves were depleting. He was running out of options. He had defeated Majora's Mask and Majora's Incarnation, but it was looking like Majora's Wrath just might get the best of him. His energy almost gone, Link turned to his only remaining option. He reached into his mask pouch and pulled out the Fierce Deity Mask. As the mask attatched itself to his face, Link felt himself grow quickly. He felt as if he were in his adult body again. When he opened his eyes, he was the great demon, with powers that could rival those of Majora. Link moved in, avoiding the whips of the wrath, and destroyed it. Majora's Wrath began to deteriorate, and a blinding white light came from its body. The white light was the last thing Link saw.

Termina Field
Link groggily woke up. He wasn't sure if he was surprised or not that the mask had left his face and returned to its place in his pouch. He'd have to remember to be careful with that one. After a short conversation with the Skull Kid, the fairies, Tatl and Tael, and the mask salesman, the salesman offered to open a portal back to Hyrule for Link. "Sir, if you don't mind, I'd like to go back only a few minutes before I left. Could you give me some sort of note to give to you in the past saying that I got your mask back in the future and to open the portal back then?" The mask man agreed and gave Link a special mask. Link played the Song of Time, a song that had changed his life in more ways than he could count, and faded away.

The Uncharted Lost Woods
The Mask Man had put the mask on and opened a portal for Link. Now, Link got on Epona and was about to ride off in another direction, when he heard Malon's voice from behind him. Epona turned around and took Link straight out of the woods. He took note of the path out, and got off when they reached the Kokiri Forest. He played the Requiem of Spirit and got the Silver Gauntlets as fast as he could.
Outside the temple, Link met Kaepora Gaebora once more. "Kaepora, I have a question for you, besides 'Why didn't you tell me that the gauntlets caused side effects?'. What happens when the holder of the Triforce of Courage reverses a switch between the holder of the Triforce of Wisdom and a normal Hylian?"
"Hoo hoot! In that case, if Ganondorf dies or leaves this realm, Malon will inherit the Triforce of Power. As for your other question, I knew that if I told you, you wouldn't have retrieved the gauntlet, and the girls would still be in the wrong places. Don't worry about the side effects. They're never that bad, and if they are, the gauntlet can be used to undo them without any additional side effects." Kaepora then proceeded to give Link advice on beating the temple boss. Link had definitely been away from home too long, so he played the Prelude of Light and was off.
I was going to make this chapter longer, but since I still need to write two chapters tomorrow, and my parents are making me go to bed now, I'm afraid this will have to do. With the wedding tomorrow, the next piece of the story will finally fall into place. Trust me, it gets worse. Or at least it will. I haven't written it yet, so if I come down with amnesia, you're all screwed. Sorry! Of course, that is extremely unlikely... I think.
