"Where's Link? And Pin?" asked Nicole at the dinner table that night. They were eating a delicious meal served up by one of Pinata's many staff. "I haven't seen them since Link went to see if she was OK?" Gandalf smiled, settling himself down.

"You know, you and Legolas weren't the only two in your room." Said Gandalf. His coat shone brightly as he appeared before them all.

"Gandalf?" There came a voice from the hall. Pinata stood in the doorway, light streaming in from behind her. The door clanged loudly. "Oh COME ON! Not another one!" She cried, her black hair stuck up on one side and a small tear in her dress. "I give UP! JUST DO WHAT YOU ALL WANT!" With that, she stormed out of the room and ran into her room. Link appeared, looking slightly disheveled.

"Erm. I'm going to...go now..." he said, scratching the back of his head awkwardly. His blond hair was scruffily messed up at the back and he had wrapped a bed cloth around himself. He turned and left the room.

"See what I mean?" said Gandalf, smiling.

"What? They were in our room?" Said Legolas, a few seconds after the stunned silence broke off. "I wondered why that coat hook looked like Pinata's hand..."

"What, you were looking anywhere else other than Maddy?" said Nicola, hiding a smile and eating some food. "Hmm..."

"Oh shut up. Listen, I feel really bad. About Pin..."Maddy began, shrugging.

"If we do anything we'll just make it worse." Said Mo, frowning. Elladan whispered something to her, his black hair falling over his face. "Oh CRAP."

"What?"

"Er. Nothing...I...have to go..." stuttered Mo and Elladan stood up too.

"Wonder what's eating those two?"

MO AND ELLADANS ROOM

"..." Pinata looked at the book, frowning. "Karma Sutra for Elves?!" She leant back on the desk. Curiously, Mo and Elladan had requested to lodge in the Library. Now she knew why. "I didn't even know I had this book?"

"Pinata!" Mo ran into the room and closed the book. A red hue was growing on the elves cheeks. "Erm. It was a...a present!" Pinata closed her eyes and leant on the desk. Mo twitched, moving the book aside.

"I am going to count to 10. If all of you aren't out of this house by then I WILL be forced to set my hippogriff on you all." She said, through clenched teeth. Mo started and backed out of the room. Elladan grabbed her hand.

"What did she say?"

"We have about 20 seconds to leave, basically."

"Oh."

LATER ON

"Pinata?" Link moved closer to his wife and frowned. "Are you crying?" he mumbled, tilting her face up to his.

"No..." she said, tears spilling onto her chest. Link put his arms around her and she buried her face into his neck.

"You don't have to go through with this..." he said, hugging her tightly.

"They're my friends. If I were in their position I'd be scared by now. I have to..." she trailed off, clutching handfuls of Links tunic in her hands. Link sighed, and Pinata felt his heartbeat quicken. "Link..."

"I'm going to see them. You stay here." Link gently placed her on the floor and stroked her cheek. "I'll be back." He stood up and left the room, closing the door gently behind her.
