A/N: Alright, let's see if I still got my touch. Tell me if it's funny, alrighty? AHEM… review!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To continue where we left off…

Mido: Fine! Be that way! You big meanies! *runs off like a little girl, crying*

Link: … Okaaaaaaaaaay…

Zelda: …

Nabooru: Uh, well… thanks for helping me.

Link: You're welcome! *gives Nabooru a big hug*

Mido: *sneaks up behind Nabooru and takes the jewel again*

Zelda: Hey!

Nabooru: Don't worry about it. I always keep a spare! *takes a gem from… somewhere and places it in her ponytail*

Zelda: *glares*

Nabooru exits the forest, leaving Link and Zelda alone.

Zelda: Now what?

Link: *shrugs*

Link and Zelda sit on the grass for a few minutes, bored out of their minds (sounds a lot like me… heh heh) until Mido comes running up to them.

Mido: *still holding the jewel* You guys!

Zelda: *stands up* HEY! I am not a guy!

Mido: Sorry… You… guy and girl! You gotta help me!

Zelda: What now, Manny?

Mido: My name is Mido… and I can't find Saria!

Link: GASP! Saria's… dead? *throws his hands up in the air dramatically* Oh Saria! I hardly knew ye!

Zelda: Mido didn't say she was DEAD, Link! She's just "missing".

Link: *stands up* Oh, right.

Zelda: Alright. Let's get looking! Link, you go search the Lost Woods for any clues pertaining to Saria's whereabouts! I'll look around her house.

Link: Aye aye! *salutes* Um… the Lost what?

Zelda: Woods, Woods, WOODS!

Link: What about the woods?

Zelda: Go look for Saria in the Lost Woods!

Link: But they're dangerous! I could get lost! And how am I supposed to know where Saria is in there?

Mido: Oh puLEEZE! I've seen you go in there a million times! You know she's always in that secret spot by the Forest Temple- uh… that I'm… not… supposed to… know… about…

Link: *smiles a little bit* Oh yeah! I DO know where to go, don't I?

Zelda: Okay, then GO!

Link: Aye aye! *salutes, then goes*

They meet back in front of the treehouse.

Zelda: So Link, was she there?

Link: Was who there?

Zelda: Saria!

Link: Was she where?

Zelda: In the Lost Woods!

Link: … Who?

Mido: WHERE'S SARIA!?

Link: Jeez, calm down, Mickey.

Mido: It's Mido!

Link: Sorry.

Zelda: So was SARIA in the LOST WOODS?

Link: Nope. But I did find a clue! *holds out a piece of paper*

Zelda: And…

Link:… And what?

Zelda: What does it say?

Link: I don't know… it's in some sort of code… *sets the paper down on a tree stump*

Zelda: Let's see it.

Piece of paper (not aloud, of course):

Link,

I'm not here because I'm hiding from Mido. I'll be in your treehouse.

Love, Saria

Zelda: … Code?

Link: *nods* Mido must be a codename for… Darunia! And "treehouse" must mean "Hyrule Castle"! And "hiding from" actually stands for "secretly in love with"! And "Link" is-

Zelda: LINK IS YOU! Link, the message is perfectly clear!

Link: I know! Saria is in love with Darunia, so she's at the castle.

Mido: Saria's at the castle?

Zelda: No, Murray…

Mido: MIDO!

Zelda: Don't call me Mido! I'm Zelda!

Mido: No, I'M Mido!

Zelda: I know that! What do you think I am, stupid?

Mido: … no comment.

Link: So, it's on to Hyrule Castle!

Zelda: Saria's not in Hyrule Castle, Link! She's in your treehouse!

Link: … I have a treehouse? Whoa!

Zelda: Hellooooo? It's right there! *points to the treehouse right beside them*

Link: *runs to the bottom of the ladder and stares up* Wow… this is awesome!

Zelda: Climb up the ladder.

Mido: Hey you guy- … and girl! Where's Saria?

Link: Maggie, I don't know…

Mido: It's Mido, Mido, MIDO!

Link: Sorry, Mido, Mido, MIDO.

Zelda: *sighs* She's in the treehouse. Link, climb up!

Link: Aye aye! *salutes and climbs, followed by Zelda and Mildred- I mean, Mido*

Saria: Hey, Link! See you got my no- AH! MIDO! What are you doing here?

Mido: Saria! Thank the goddesses I found you!

Zelda: We found her. Happy now, Mipsy?

Mido: *is too happy to notice* Oh Saria! I was so worried! I thought you got eaten by… the Deku Tree or something!

Saria: *shoots a funny look to Link and Zelda*

Link: Wait… Marklar's in love with Saria, but Saria's in love with Ganondorf…

Zelda: Saria's not in love with Ganondorf!

Link: You're right! She's in love with Darunia!

Mido: Gasp! Saria, is this true? Do you really like that rock guy?

Saria: No…

Mido: Ah, that's a relief. Saria, I have som- *looks at his hands* Wait… where's the jewel?

Link and Zelda look out the window to see a shadowy figure that looks strangely like Nabooru running out of the forest. They hear something that sounds eerily like an evil laugh.

Mido: Aw, drat it all! That was a really good present too!

Saria: Aw, jeez. Looks like you're gonna have to go home now.

Zelda: Tough luck, Moopa.

Mido: Mido! *sadly makes his way out of the treehouse and to his home*

Saria: Phew!

Link: Another case solved. But Saria, why did you leave that boggling note?

Saria: Boggling?

Link: Yeah. Why did you lead us to Hyrule Castle?

Zelda: Hey Link, how about some ice cream?

Link: O_O… ^_^ Got any tuna flavored?
