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?
