Meanwhile, Link has been combing the shore for something that might help them in their quest of finding the Zora princess. *La-de-da-de-dum* "Man this is boring! There's NOTHING here. Just a few tektites, some plants. I wonder if Naomi has found anything yet." "Hey link!" "Yeah Navi, what is it? You find something?" "We could ask who ever owns that building over there, maybe they've seen something." "I guess it couldn't hurt. Let's go check it out."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Where in the world did he get to?" said Naomi as she swam closer to shore. When she reached shallow water the strange light once again surrounded her and she began walking up onto the shore. Naomi looked down at her clothes, they were green again. She checked her back. The blades were once again safely secured there. "Hey Naomi!" Link yelled as he ran towards her waving. "There you are Link, I've been looking for you. Have you found anything?" "About the princess, well, no. But I did find this really awesome place! Come on!" This time it was his turn to grab a hand and jet. He ran for a small building that was embedded into the rock wall at the left end of the lake. He was still pulling her towards their destination when they passed a scare crow. {Or guway, whichever you prefer.}
"Hey, what's your hurry? Stop and talk a while. Haven't been many people out this way lately. Not since those Peahats { Really weird, I don't know why they're called this. Very large plants that rest in the ground, when someone approaches they hover over the ground. They have 4 "propeller" blades that they attempt to use to cut down on you. Sometimes they can release smaller, faster versions of themselves.} moved into Hyrule field." They both stopped and turned around, mouths hanging open. "Did you just say something to us?" "Yes, yes I did baby. I'm the only Scare crow in all of Hyrule that speaks the tongue of man. Something else you might not know about me baby is I just love good music. It's sooo boring out here, not a note to the air. The only joy I get is when the Zora band, The Indigo Go's, have one of their kick'n concerts here."
"You love music too!" said Naomi walking closer to the scare crow. "We both really like music a lot." said Link taking out his ocarina. "Oh baby! Lay some sweet music on me!"
Link and Naomi had fun playing all the songs they knew for the scare crow until late afternoon. The scare crow had fun "dancing" to all the music they were making. "w00t baby, those were some smooth tunes. You guys are pretty cool, you know that? I know, let's make up a song to help us remember the great time we had together. Now, I never forget these kinds of things, but this can help you out." "Uh, where should we start? I haven't exactly made up a song before." said Link, looking into one of the holes of his ocarina. ""B note sounds a little flat""
"Just play what feels good for ya!" So Link just played a few notes off the top of his head. "Um, how's that?" "That it? It's kinda short." "Yeah, so?" Naomi played a few more notes to go along with Link's start. "There, not that's more like it! Let's call it the Scare Crow song! Come back sometime and visit me, we can have another jam session." {The scare crow's song, this will come in major handy later on. I usually make it something really easy to remember, cuz you use it a lot!}
"Alright! See you later!" Naomi waved as they left. "Now, where were you in such a hurry to take me?" "Huh? OOOOh yeeeah, I almost forgot! It's super cool!" and once again he had her hand, galloping to this "cool place". He stopped just to the edge of the shore and pointed to a small little island on the side of the rock face that made up the barrier all around the lake. "In there?" "Yup, look, you don't have to swim that far. Don't look that way!" "But I just got dry!" "Oh, come on! If you stay up against the rock, the only ting you'll get wet will be your feet."
"Allllright, let's go. Hey, just what's so special about this place anyway?" "You'll see. I've never done anything like this before, I didn't even know people did this. It's way fun!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oi, Hey there little buddy. You came back for more? Oh, and this time you brought a little lady friend with you. Hey, I'm serious, you guys are like the only customers I've had in a long time! I'm serious. So, you both wanna try your luck? You can go for as long as you want. Cuz you came back little buddy, I'll give you a discount. 10 a piece. What do ya say, I'm serious." "Two please." "Oh, you paying for the lady? What a gentlemen. Well, here you go, and don't for get the rules, I'm serious." The man behind the counter handed Link two fishing poles.
"Here you go Naomi." "What is this?" "You mean you don't know? I thought you might have heard about it, I mean you've heard of so many things. It's a fishing pole. You can catch the fish in this little pond with it. You take what you catch up to him." He pointed at the man behind the counter who was scratching himself every which where. "Uh, yeah, anyway if what you catch is bigger that what's in that tank on the counter there you get a prize of some kind. Let's go catch some big fish, I wonder what we could win." "Hmm, let's read the rules first. Look, there's a sign over there." So the both of them walked up to a small sign that had the rules painted boldly in black.
Rules*
1. No casting out at anybody.
2. You have to send back what you don't bring up to the
counter.
3. Don't scare the fish.
4. ABSOLULY NO SINKING LURES!
"Sounds reasonable, where we gonna get a sinking lure anyway?" asked Naomi after reading the rules thru.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They walked out to a small log that sat halfway out into the water. They sat down on the log side by side, smushed close together because of the log's small size. Their feet dangled just over the surface of the water below and they slowly kicked them to and fro. They were both quite, fishing was a great time to be thinking. They also didn't want to spook the fish.
It was just starting to get dark, the sky had turned a light shade of purple that melted into pink. As a few minuets passed the sky went from light to a darker purple and the stars began to wake from their slumber. The crickets chirped and there seemed to be a soft music on the very breeze. The fireflies began their moonlight dance all around the pond and in the trees surrounding them. They swirled and swayed in between the reeds and the cattails, twinkling in the moon's soft light. Naomi forgot about her fishing and gazed in awe at the beauty all around them. She liked how their lights shone and shimmered over the surface of the glassy pond water. The fireflies reminded her of the forest, the enchanted sprites that swirled in the air about them in both the day and the night. Three little fireflies found their way to Naomi and began to waltz about her. Link would every once in a while chance a glance in Naomi's direction. He wanted it to seem as though he was focusing all his thought into catching the little fish to have any time to notice anything else.
*sigh* ""Gods, she sure is pretty."" he scooted a little closer, whistling and looking off into the distance. He shot another peek towards Naomi and stopped right in his tracks. A few more fireflies joined Naomi and were currently resting in her hair, sparkling off and on. A dragonfly hovered over her head and landed softly on the tip of her ear. She lightly shook her head and giggled as the dragonfly tickled her ear and hovered off. The fireflies took off too and flew in circles back to the shore to join the rest of their friends. She waved goodbye to them and quietly looked down into the water below, seeing her and Link's reflection. Link had almost forgotten his tactic of quick glances and found him self scooting even closer on the already crowded log. Naomi noticed this in the reflection and began to turn towards him when,
"GAH! Uh, I think, I think I just felt a bite! Uh, yeah that's it!" *Blush!* ""Yeah, that's it, real smooth Link, great cover up if that's what you can call it. Huh, I, I really do have a bite?""
He stud up on the log and set the hook. "Oh wow Link! It's really putting up a fight! It must be a big one, don't let it get away!" The fish was putting up one hell of a fight and it even almost drug Link off the log into the water. But Link's will was stronger and soon the fish just gave up. Link held up his trophy catch and looked at Naomi. She was laughing! *Ha* "Link! That can't be more than 2 pounds. That little thing put up that much of a fight?!"
She was laughing so hard she fell right off the side of the log, into the water. The pond was very shallow so all she had to do is sit up. Link walked over to the side and looked down at Naomi. She was soaking wet, her green Kokiri hat floated slowly past her, long dark blond hair spewed all accosted her face. She moved a few dripping stands away from her eyes and smiled up at Link. The sight was too much for him and soon he too joined her in the shallows of the fish pond, laughing and pointing at how ridiculous she looked.
They sat there, each laughing at the other. Finally Link stud and helped Naomi up. Still chuckling a little as she stud, she tripped on a rock that was hidden in the sand and fell right into Link. They both went tumbling over and into the water again. Naomi slowly opened her eyes and realized that she had fallen right on top of Link. She looked down into his face, he looked up into hers shock, and a blush, evident all over his face. All she could do was lay there until her shock dispersed and all that was left was embarrassment. She got quickly to her feet.
"I'm sooooooooooo sorry Link!" she said, a bright crimson over taking her cheeks. He slowly sat up and gave her a dorky sort of smile. ""He's never looked at me like that before! What, what could that mean?!"" "It's ok, really." he reached into the pond beside him and pulled out his hat that had been lodged under a stick.
He put it on and a slosh of water came out over his head. Naomi started to giggle and the crimson started to fade. ""Now THAT was a nice save. I don't care if I have to make a fool of myself, as long as it helps Naomi become more comfortable. She looked really nervous.""
Link stud from the pond and felt his hat start to wiggle. "Huh?" Naomi saw it too and watched Link take it off to see what in the world could be doing it. He looked inside and his "champion" catch jumped from the hat and *plop* right into the water where it quickly swam to the safety of some nearby reeds. "So that's where he went. Heh." He looked up and smiled kindly at Naomi.
""Aww, he's so cute! GAH! What did I just think?!! First I'm jealous of the princess, now this! Oi!"" "Heh, uh yeah" her blush was still slightly vivid on her face but quickly fading as she laughed at Link and his dorkyness. "Um, uh, well," Link was trying to find something to say, and was rubbing the back of his neck. "Do you want to keep trying? We might really catch the big one." He picked up their fallen poles. "Well, It's gotten really late and we haven't found a single clue as to where the Zora princess has gotten to. We really should get going." "Yeah your right Naomi, we probably shouldn't have been goofing off." "Uh, Link. Where is Navi? I haven't seen her since we were playing for the scare crow." "I don't know, we should go and look for her!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Hip hip hurray! The whole time I was typing this I could just see it happening. This is pretty long! I was going to split it up into 2 separate chapters but decided to just stick it all together. Well, I'm off!
*Rules: I couldn't remember the rules exactly. I was going to check and see what they were but I'm letting my "Step brothers" borrow the game. Later on I'll change this chapter to have the rules as they apply in the game. Gotta love that attention to detail!

^,^x oodles of oros from me to you! {is this getting annoying?}
