Penny
I COULD not believe it. Legolas kissed me? Wow! COOL!! I know Hillary and Link had seen…hehe, how embarrassing, Hill was gunna kill me.
I held Legolas's hand as we went over to the two who were currently killing each other in a shallow pool. They stopped what they were doing and looked up at us as if we'd come over to have a go at them. I caught Link's eye, he looked at me, then looked at mine and Legolas's hands, and then looked away as if hurt.
'Oh God, you can't fancy me too!' I thought to myself, 'NO, no! The psychic vibes!! You must like Hillary, HIIIIIILARYYYYY!!!'
I suddenly realised how long the pause had been while I was busy trying to mesmerise Link.
"Yes well!" I said, breaking the silence, everyone looked at me. Oh goody, I like being the centre of attention. "It's getting sorta late, what do we do, camp out and get eaten by a passing stalfos or go….uh…well 'home' I guess", I said. Hillary giggled, and dunked Link quickly before rushing out of the pool and hiding behind me. Link surfaced spluttering angrily and looked around.
"Where'd she go?", he growled at me, evilly.
"No can do Mr. Half fish, that is confidential information".
"Half fish?", he roared. I grinned wickedly.
"Yeah, Ruto would be ever so pleased". I chuckled. Link couldn't suppress his smile but I knew he would get me back for that remark.
"You are sooooooo dead Penny".
"I am sooooooooooo not Link", I retaliated even though I knew perfectly well that I was.
"I'll get you back someday", he promised, "Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, maybe in a minute, but someday, Penny, I'll get you back".
"Oh….I'm shaking", I said. Legolas put an arm around me, and grinned, tiger-style.
"You mess with my girl you mess wid da elf boy", he said in a really cool kind of gangster accent. I started laughing and put my arm around him.
Hillary slowly poked her head out from behind us.
"A HA!", Link yelled, "THERE YOU ARE!". He sent a wave of icy water over the three of us standing there. I glared at him dangerously.
"Hee hee, whoops…sorry", he sniggered, not meaning it at all of course.
"GET HIM!", I screeched, leaping on top of him, sending him plummeting beneath the surface, Legolas and Hillary joined in until the pool was frothing with the bubbles we were making while splashing around stupidly.
"Help I'm sinking!", I said, dramatically doing an impression of the titanic.
Under the water, I saw Link come under too. He grinned devilishly at me, and immediately I knew what he was planning.
I surfaced, screaming. "EVACUATE! HE'S GONNA…". Before I could say anymore, I was rising up out of the water on Link's shoulders.
"PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!", I ordered angrily. Then I wished I hadn't said it.
"No problem pens, down you get!", he shouted, chucking me and sending me flying to the other side of the pool.
"SHIIIIIIIIIiiiiIIIIIIIiiiiiIIIIIIIIIT!", I yelled, Tarzan style, before landing in the water and creating a small scale tidal wave. Legolas waded over and picked me up, you know, draped over the arms as if we were getting married.
"Here comes the bride!", sang Hillary.
"All fat and wide!", finished Link.
I leapt out of my saviours arms and started punching Link hard in the chest.
"OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!!!!!!!!!", he screamed like a girl, falling back in the water, with me straddling him (In the non-provocative sense) so he couldn't get back up again.
Legolas came over and lifted me clear, while link floundered around stupidly. We all decided to embarrass him by waiting him to finish and be standing there just staring at him with 'those' looks.
He finally surfaced and looked at us each in turn.
"Oh….dear", he said innocently looking around at us with puppy dog eyes. Hillary couldn't help cracking up, which set me off, which set the two guys off. Oh dear, what a scene.
I sighed and got out of the water. So…tired suddenly.
"Night night", I said, yawning and laying down on the grass. I closed my eyes and I was gone.
Link
I watched somewhat in disbelief as Penny just lay down and…was asleep, just like that, out like a light. I'd never seen anyone go to sleep so quickly…unless they were being killed, but that is a different matter.
"Well….", I started, looking at my two other friends, "I think we might as well follow Penny's example and sleep here tonight".
They both nodded and we slowly made our way out of the water. We all layed down next to penny. I watched slightly jealously as Legolas took the liberty of putting his arm around her waist.
Despite the fact I was cold and felt alone, I finally managed to drift off into a shallow sleep.
I was awoken, what seemed like seconds later by a quiet humming. The dawn colors were slowly spreading across the sky as the sun peeked over the horizon.
"Near, far, where ever you are, I believe that the heart will, go on". Where the words I heard coming from near the water, along to a really nice tune. I don't think I would ever forget that. Later, I'll see if I can play it on my ocarina.
I got up and looked to see who the heck was singing. I saw Penny sitting by the pool, humming the rest of the tune, she'd sung something about once more, you open the something but I was half asleep so I didn't hear it properly.
I got up and went over to her. She didn't see me, she was too busy swishing a stick around in the water and humming.
"That's a nice tune", I complimented. She gasped Loudly and spun around, whipping out her dagger at the same time. If I wasn't a friend who she knew I'd be dog meat, she was deadly with those things!
"Oh God! You scared me so much!", she said putting it away. I sat down next to her.
"What was that song?", I asked.
"Oh it was Titanic…it's a song that goes along to a movi…I mean a story".
"It sounded quite sad", I commented.
"It is in a way, but it's mostly about love", she explained, moving the stick around in a heart shape through the water.
"Well you'd know about love", I chuckled, motioning to Legolas. Penny grinned shyly.
"Shut up you", she said quite quietly.
"Are you okay, you don't seem your normal self?", I asked, slightly concerned.
"I'm fine. What would you mean by normal self?". She questioned, raising an eyebrow. I grinned. I mean like, wacky, crazy, super hyper, beat me up all the time Penny. Not the quiet love struck singing Penny. Is that what you and Hillary do? Go and sing solemn songs?". I asked. She giggled.
"Singing is a sign of contentment, as is whistling and laughing". She explained.
"Yeah but why solemn songs?".
"I don't know why but I prefer solemn songs, they're so much more beautiful and mysterious", she said, drawing more shapes with her stick.
"Yeah, but why beautiful and mysterious?" I asked, now thoroughly confused.
"Like, the serenade of water. Send tingles up my spine. Beautiful and Mysterious, it's more feminine, like me, don't you think?" she said, mysteriously.
"It's all like a riddle to me". I sighed, giving up.
"Well, don't you like things that are beautiful?", she asked. I glanced at Hillary.
"Yeah".
"Well, I find solemn music beautiful so I like to sing it".
"Ahh, but why the mysterious?"
"Mystery and Magic, are my two most favorite things", she said simply. I was starting to see her point, but it still would not reveal itself properly.
"Okay", I said. Then we just sat in silence.
"What do you think of Hillary?", Penny suddenly whispered, taking me by surprise. I blushed a tasteful shade of lobster red.
"Well….she's funny, and sweet…….and…".
"Yes, AND…", she exaggerated, giving me a knowing look.
"And beautiful", I admitted, hiding my face in my knees. Penny put a friendly arm around me.
"I knew it!" she said triumphantly.
"Yeah but…" I accidentally started. And wished I hadn't.
"But what!!??" she said excitedly.
"Nothing".
"Tell me!".
W-well…", I gulped, "You're sorta pretty too…", I mumbled, most likely going redder. She looked as if she was highly embarrassed.
"Well sorry I'm taken!", she said, giving the stirring Legolas a little wave.
'Why do I never know when to stop', I asked myself in my head, 'why am I such a big mouthed idiot?'.
"Look", said Penny, "Go for Hillary, you just don't know how it might end up". She got up and left me with a wink, before going over to Legolas.
"Morning Sunshine", she grinned cheesily.
Legolas
I woke up and looked into the face of an angel…no it was Penny, still an angel though.
"Morning Moonshine", I responded.
"Huh? Why moonshine?", she said, conveniently sitting on my groin. 'Oh shit please don't sit there, you'll feel something bad if I have to look into your eyes much longer'. I thought, blushing.
"Because you're Mysterious and Beautiful, like the moon", I said. She smiled, and kissed me, then turned to Link.
"See what I mean!" She grinned. Link smiled, and rolled his eyes.
"Crazy, crazy!", he started muttering. Hillary moaned beside me, I looked over. She was groping around on the ground behind her as if looking for a sheet to wrap up in.
"So noisy!" she mumbled sleepily. The three of us who were awake started laughing. Hillary sat up, bleary eyed and woozy.
"Huh? Wha? Whazz the time?" she asked with a large yawn.
"Time to get up", said Link simply, rising to his feet. Penny got up too.
"What are we going to do today?", Hillary asked, stretching.
"Link, can we go see Gerudo Valley, I've never been there", asked Penny. Hillary surged to her feet.
"Gerudo Valley? Cool! I'm there!!"
"What's that?", I asked, puzzled. Everyone knows this Hyrule and I don't it's SO annoying!!!
"You'll see", said Link, setting off in a westerly direction.
"Yahoo! We're going to the valley, jumping off bridges!" sang Penny skipping ahead. I chuckled at her antics and set off after them. I looked back to check if Hillary was coming. Her face sent my heart pounding. She looked as if she'd seen someone get cut open right in front of her.
"PENNY! LOOK OUT!", she screeched.
This sent me into a state of panic, the last thing I wanted was for Penny to be in danger again. I spun around, Penny was skipping straight towards a shimmering black portal, which radiated malevolent evil. It all happened in slow motion as I watched in horror. Penny's quizzical frown turned to a frightened scream as she stopped just too late, but at the same time Link went for a flying tackle to try and save her. With a large 'zip' noise they both get sucked in and the doorway disappeared.
Penny
It was dark, too dark. Pitch Black, I could not see my hand, even inches in front of my face. I felt a presence beside me, and leapt away.
"W-w-who's th-that?", I stammered, fear taking over.
"Penny is that you? It's me Link!". said a voice.
"Oh thank God!", I said, feeling my way towards the voice. "Keep talking, I'm gonna find you".
"Okay…umm….la dee da?".
"Good enough, keep going!". I urged him.
"Tra la la, find me quick, it's really scary, where the heck are we?".
I smacked into a broad chest. "Ow", said both me and Link in unison.
"Oh MY god!", I sighed, leaping into a hug. It made me feel 10 times better because I was so scared. I felt his strong arms wrap round me, keeping me safe.
"Hey, it's alright, we'll be okay", he promised. That's when I smelt a disgusting smell.
"Jeez Link, lay off the beans!", I scolded him.
"So you smelt that too, I was just about to ask", he said back.
"Whoever smelt it dealt it", I giggled.
"Whoever said the rhyme did the crime!", Link rebounded at me.
"Yeah, hate to wipe the grin that is most likely to be there off your face but…you just said a rhyme".
He paused.
"Very clever smart ass. Now shut up, and lets find someway out of here!". He muttered. As if we'd just had to ask, torches sprang up all around. We were in a circular room lit by orange, purple and green torches.
"Oh isn't that sweet, group hug", said a sneering voice. I buried my face in Link's chest.
"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!", I whimpered.
"No offence Ganondorf but this isn't exactly a group", said Link coldly, obviously recognising the voice.
"Ganondorf?", I asked in awe.
"Yes it is I", he said proudly and with a flash, he was floating in the air behind us. I spun around and flipped out my daggers.
"Very good", the bastard sneered, "But I am just an illusion". He then completely ignored me and turned to Link.
"Give me the girl Link, then your other friends wont get hurt". Everything clicked into place there and then.
"So it was YOU who keeps sending me these things to hurt me huh!?", I said referring to the poe and the guard who randomly abducted me, and then left me to suffocate.
"Yes, so what? You have something I want".
"You sound like a spoilt little brat! I WANT DOESN'T GET!", I screeched, letting all the rage flow out easily. "WELL IF YOU WANT ME, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE PUTTING YOURSELF IN FOR!!!". I could see that Ganondorf was just about ready to kill, but he kept his voice level.
"And that would be?".
"I thought you'd never ask!", I started, eyes glinting evilly. "Hey Ganny, you know who yaw daddy is? No? Well I'll tell you who yaw daddy was, he was a goat, he gave your momma a little bit o' this, and a little bit o' that", I said, making provocative moves around the cell (Yep, none other than the humpah move, HEE HEE!!) Ganondorf looked as if he was about to explode. Link looked shocked, and amused at the same time.
"Fine keep the little runt, but I'll be back, and I'll get exactly what I want", he said pointing at my necklace.
"You want my necklace?", I said, sickly-sweetly.
"Yes!", he said, clenching his hand into a fist, his malicious golden eyes glowing angrily.
"Well you can have it!", I said fakely.
"Really?", he said his mood lightening, for about two seconds.
"Nope!", I said. There was a roar of anger and then the room melted away in a great rushing noise and we were standing on the field.
Legolas came running towards me and swept me up into a hug. "Oh thank anything that was listening I was so worried!". I hugged him back.
"It's good to be home", I said stupidly. I heard Link telling Hillary what had happened.
"And Penny was amazing! I've never seen him get so angry, it was SO funny! She was pissing him off so much! It's all thanks to her!"
Go me uh huh go me!
