Chapter 2: 4th of July Zelda Beach Party!-By Rachel
Disclaimer: Rachel doesn't own any of the Zelda characters. They belong to Nintendo.Nor beanie babies well she does but doesn't, get the picture? Rachel does however her own original characters. Also Epona(Elena (me!) just edited it, okay? Another thing: I don't think Hylians celebrate 4th of July, do they? Oh Link and the gang are 12 years old in this party! Please enjoy.
So far summer had been a blast for Link. Everyday he and his friends (you know, all the girls!) would go to Zora's Domain and go swimming. They would have a lot of fun playing at Lon Lon with all of the animals there too. Exploring the Lost Woods and hanging out at Hyrule Castle, drinking ice-cold lemonade (water for Epona) were also some of their favorite pastimes. One day while at the ranch the thought of Fourth of July came into their heads. Independence Day was coming closer and closer. "We should have a party!" suggested Princess Zelda. "One that will last all day," added Malon excitedly. "Hey!" said Navi, "That's a great idea!" So they began to plan their party. "We should definitely go swimming that day," said Saria. "Yeah!" they all agreed.
By the end of the day they had it all worked out. Link and Saria would hold the first part of the party in the Kokiri Forest. Everyone was responsible for bringing some kind of food. Malon and Epona were bringing breakfast, Zelda was bringing lunch; Impa, Nabooru, Anju, Nayru, Din, and Farore were also coming too, to have fun and to watch the younger kids, they were bringing dinner; Princess Ruto was bringing refreshments, Link and Saria were bringing desserts, and also Navi and Saria's fairy, Blossom, were doing the decorations. So the plan was that they would have the first part of the party and breakfast at Link's and Saria's house. Then they would go over to Zora's Domain and have lunch and then go swimming. Then they would have dinner at Hyrule Castle and watch the fireworks there. They also decided to make it a slumber party too, so Zelda welcomed all of them to stay the castle.
There was a knock on Link's door. Link heard Saria shout "Link! It's 8:30am get up! You said you would help me today. Link sighed. It was the day before the party. He had forgotten that he had promised Saria that he would help her make the desserts today. Saria opened the door and waked in. "Hello Navi!" Blossom said. "Hey Blossom!" Navi said back. "All right I'm up," said Link. Saria handed him a basket. "First we are going to collect some fruit, okay?" said Saria. "Fine," he replied. "If we are collecting fruit, can we get a watermelon from your garden?" asked Link "They're my favorite ." he added . "Okay," said Saria, "I love them too ". They spent a hour or two picking all kinds of different fruits like apples, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, peaches, oranges, grapes, cherries, and they got one watermelon from Saria's garden. Some of the fruits they picked were going into pies or cakes, others were just there to eat. While Link and Saria were busy baking, Navi and Blossom were busy decorating. They had hung up all sorts of banners and red, white, and blue decorations between Link's house and Saria's house. When they had finished, Link and Saria had a number of different tasty treats to eat. They made apple, strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, peach, and cherry pies; they had chocolate cake, vanilla cake, strawberry short cake, and other kinds too. They also made some cookies like chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin. Link and Saria also got some different flavors of ice- cream for everyone.
Link woke up early the next morning ready for the party to start. He got up and went outside and to his surprise saw that Malon and Epona were right outside his house. The party wasn't supposed to start until a hour or so. "Good morning," said Link. "Good morning " said Malon. Epona gave a happy whinny. She was carrying her favorite patriotic beanie baby, Lefty 2000.(She's not a democratic, she likes Lefty because he looks like a horse. He's a donkey.) "I know it's a little early," said Malon, "but I wanted to get breakfast started before everyone else got here. "That's okay ," he told her.
Epona was carrying almost everything Malon needed to make breakfast. Saria got up and helped them put a large picnic table in front of their houses. Malon began taking out all of the food she had brought. She had eggs, sausages, bread, oatmeal, cereal, bagels, muffins, and of course fresh Lon Lon Milk . "Can you help me cook Saria?" asked Malon. "Sure ," replied Saria. "Thank you ," Malon said. "I'll help Epona set the table." said Link. Epona trotted over to Link with a flag print table cloth Malon had brought in her mouth. Link took hold of one end while Epona held onto the other end and they set it neatly on the table. Then Link set down plates, forks, knifes, spoons, and napkins for everyone.
Ruto was the next person to come. She had brought all of the drinks with her. "I wasn't sure what everyone liked so I brought different kinds of juices, different kinds of sodas, lemonade, and water," said Ruto. "That's fine," said Link, Malon, and Saria. "Good," she said. Then Zelda and Impa showed up. They were carrying two large picnic baskets and a large blanket. They're for our picnic lunch at Zora's Domain," said Zelda when she saw their puzzled faces. "I'm going to see how the food is coming," said Impa and she walked off to make sure Malon and Saria had not set anything on fire.
Anju, Nabooru, Nayru, Din, and Farore were the last ones to come. "hey Link!" shouted Nabooru. Anju came over to him and said, "Happy Fourth of July Link ". "Happy Fourth of July to you too," Link said. Link noticed that Nayru was still wearing blue and that Din was still wearing red, but Farore was wearing white instead of green. "We did that so we were red, white, and blue," Farore told him. (Link just noticed that everyone else was wearing at least one thing that was red, white, or blue. He himself was wearing a half red, half blue tunic with a white hood. Epona had a red, white, and blue bow tied around her neck.) "Din and I are also going to have a little show show for you too," Nayru told everyone. "Nayru will sing while I dance," said Din.
Breakfast was finally done cooking so everyone sat down and helped themselves to everything. When everyone was finished eating they decided to play some games. They also had a two- legged/ four legged race. Epona wanted to race too, so Malon rode her and they walked the whole race because if they had ran the race the would have won. They did end up tying with Link and Zelda though. Link was with Zelda, Saria was with Ruto, Anju was with Nayru, Farore was with Din, and Impa was with Nabooru. Anju had brought her cucoos so they played with them for a while. After that everyone watched Nayru and Din sing and dance.
Around 12:00pm Ruto led everyone to Zora's River. When they got there Zelda and Impa found a nice grassy area near the water, put down there blanket, and began to get lunch ready. Zelda had made different kinds of sandwiches for everyone. She had turkey sandwiches, ham sandwiches, PB&J sandwiches, tuna fish sandwiches for Ruto,and different kinds of chips. Link and Saria had also brought some of the fruit they had. And Link got his watermelon . .
After lunch, it was time to go swimming! "Good thing too," Zelda said. "Because it's getting hotter and hotter," said Ruto finishing her sentence. Everyone who needed to, changed into their swimsuits. Obviously, Ruto and Epona didn't need swimsuits. (Here's were I'm going to ramble on about what their swimsuits look like.) Link was wearing a forest green swimsuit, Saria was wearing green tankini with purple stars on it, Navi was wearing a baby blue bikini, Blossom had a light green bikini, Zelda was wearing a lavender tankini with pink hearts on it, Malon was wearing a yellow tankini with red flowers on it that had a rap around skirt, Anju was wearing a blue one piece with yellow butterflies on it, Nayru was wearing an aquamarine bikini, Din was wearing a red bikini top and red board shorts, Farore was wearing a green one piece with sky blue dragonflies on it, Impa was wearing a dark purple bikini, and Nabooru was wearing a gerudo styled bikini. And I, the author (Rachel a.k.a Aryll), was wearing a magenta tankini with purple and blue frogs on it, pink sunglasses, and pink flip-flops.
Everyone had fun splashing each other and riding on Lord Jabu-Jabu's back. Epona who also wanted to beat the heat, jumped in the water and had fun chasing around a school of fish. "This is so much fun!" shouted Malon. "We should do this more often," said Link. "Definitely," said Zelda.
The sun began to sink lower and lower behind Death Mountain. The sky began to turn orange, pink, and purple. Everyone had gotten out of the water and dried off. "We better start heading over to Hyrule Castle now," Impa told them. "Yeah," said Zelda. "Bye-bye Jabu-Jabu!" said Ruto and Link together. They packed up everything and began to leave, but Saria shouted, "Wait! Did you hear that?" "Is that...? said Navi. "The Fabulous Five Frog Choir ribbiting the National Anthem!" shouted Link. They stopped to listen to the frogs and when they had finished they said goodbye and continued on to Hyrule Castle.
When they arrived at Hyrule Castle Zelda led them to a huge room. Inside the room were three large tables. on the first table there was an assortment of different dinner foods like chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, pasta, salads, fish, steak, pork chops, and much more. On the second table there were all of the desserts Link and Saria had made. The third was set and ready for everyone to sit down and start eating. "I hope everyone is hungry," said Anju. "Dig in ." said Nabooru happily. Link got one of everything there was and ate until he was stuffed. Malon sat at the end of the table so she could feed Epona carrots and apples. They had gotten some strange looks from the guards when they saw a horse enter the castle. When everyone had had there fill of dinner and desserts Link said, "The fireworks should be starting soon, shouldn't they?" "Yeah, they should be starting soon," said Farore. "Okay," Zelda said "Follow me". She lead them out of the room and down a hallway then into what looked like her bedroom. It was even bigger than the room they were just in. Zelda walked over to one side of the wall where a tapestry was hanging. She lifted up the bottom of the tapestry and began looking around and feeling the wall. Finally she said "A-ah!". Then she pushed hard on to wall and one of the boards fell down to reveal a secret passageway. "I didn't know of that secret," said Impa. "No one does except for me," said Zelda. Everyone had to duck down to get in. Epona just barely fit through. When everyone was in, Zelda fitted the board back into place. Luckily it was flat ground and not stairs so Epona had no trouble walking. Link felt as if the were rising upward. When they came to the end of the passageway they saw a door. Zelda opened it and they found themselves on a large balcony on the top of the highest tower in Hyrule Castle. "I often come up here to watch the sunrise and the sunset," Zelda told them.
They put down some blankets and chairs and waited for the fireworks to start. They were being shot off from Lake Hylia and were supposed to start at 8:00pm. Then suddenly the sky was filled with an aurora of colors. Link heard Ruto say, "Oooooo" and Nayru say, "aahhhh". He also heard Saria say Pretty!" "Neighhhh," Epona had given an amused neigh. They had all different kinds of fireworks with all different colors. The fireworks went on for about a hour. The Finally was spectacular! The sky was lit up bright with the colors of the rainbow. Then it became a dark, deep blue once again.
Zelda led them back down the passageway, back to her room. Everyone got ready for bed but they didn't go to sleep yet. First everyone helped make a little bed out of hay and pillows for Epona in the corner. Epona loved it! They played more games and talked. They also watched movies and played video games. They spent several hours watching Link play Kingdom Hearts. He beat Riku, saved Kairi, and finally got Sora to a high enough level to kill Sephiroth! While he was battling him Link would shout, "Die Sephiroth, Die!" And all the girls would cheer him on, "Go Link! Go Link! You can do it!" (I really don't like Sephiroth. He is a good enemy though. But I don't like him because, I don't know if this is true or not , I heard in one of the Final Fantasy games he killed Aeris or in Kingdom Hearts, Aerith. She is one of my favorite characters.) Link also beat Ansem and beat the game. The whole time Link was playing Malon watched and let Link know when he needed to heal himself. (I added that because whenever my friend would play Kingdom Hearts I would let her know when she needed to heal herself.) After that they went on the computer for a while; then Link, Saria, Malon, Zelda, and Ruto went to sleep at 2:00am. They would have stayed up later, but Impa said," 2:00 am is much to late for 12 year olds!" Epona had fallen asleep around 11:00pm. She was a baby after all. She had her Lefty 2000 beanie baby next to her while she slept. Navi and Blossom also went to sleep at the same time as Link and Saria. Impa, Anju, Farore, Nayru, Din, and Nabooru didn't go to sleep until 2:45am. Link fell asleep thinking about the past day. So far that had been the best Fourth of July ever.
The End
Happy Fourth of July Everyone!

"Happy Fourth of July to you too," Link said. Link noticed that Nayru was still wearing blue and that Din was still wearing red, but Farore was wearing white instead of green. "We did that so we were red, white, and blue," Farore told him. (Link just noticed that everyone else was wearing at least one thing that was red, white, or blue.
