Chapter 3.
Back in Hyrule, Angelous could have used help controlling my life. He's best known for his outrageous anger, and very short temper. "You expect me to memorize ALL of those equations?!" Angelous looked at the text book in disbelief. The teacher sighed.
"You were supposed to have it memorized already, Mr. Raven."
"Impossible!! No one can memorize all of that!! That is not even of any importance!!" The teacher was starting to get angry. Angelous growled softly to himself.
"Link, calm down." Angelous clenched his teeth and continued his yelling.
"This is preposterous!!" Shawn raised his eye brow.
"'Preposterous?'"
"Mr. Raven, if you don't calm down and take your seat this instant, I have no choice but to punish you." Angelous' anger was growing by the second. He tried to use his own godly powers, but then he remembered that he was in my body, that hasn't even grown to its full power yet, and my body doesn't have the powers he's used to. Knowing that here was nothing he could do the godly way, he tried the mortal way.
"You do not have the power to punish me, you puny mortal!" And that was the last straw. Before Angelous could bring himself to saying anything else, he was thrown into detention hall. The class bully, Stuart Terrence was there. The guy who was as big as a bear, and as dumb as a pig, who for some reason, always picks on me. He's usually more of a pain the Dark.
"Welcome to detention hall, Raven." He said with a smile. Angelous clenched his fists and teeth. A fight was about to start. But I won't go through that.
Up in the heavens, the schedule said that it was time for Din, Nayru, Farore and me to give a conference of Leading Gods. "Are there any questions?" Din asked. One of the Roman Gods raised their hand.
"Uh, yes. How would you three describe the economic crisis of our nations?" I cocked my head in confusion. Nayru looked at me.
"Angelous, I believe this is your field of expertise." Farore tried not to laugh. I hesitantly stepped up to the cloud – structured stand, trying to figure out how I would get through this situation. I could feel all the eyes of everyone in the crowd, even my own aunts on me, just waiting for me to mess up. Course that was the reason Farore was looking at me.
"... Uh ... no comment ..." The entire crowd started whispering amongst themselves. Then, as I was about to hide my blushing face behind Din, one of the Babylonian gods called out.
"What do you mean 'no comment'? You always give us a good quote!" Everyone in the room started yelling at me. I backed up and ran out the door. My aunts watched me as I ran away. Nayru broke the silence.
"What's gotten into him?" Farore smiled, but tried not to laugh.
"He's just not himself today." I ran all the way to Angelous' room and locked the door. This special lock couldn't be locked without his powers. I sat at his desk and went through all of his paper work. If this paper work wasn't done, there could be a war between Hyrule and China.
"I seriously don't know how Angelous does it, Navi!" Navi came out of my hat with a paper.
"That's not the worst part of it. Here, take a look." I took the paper and started reading it. ""Due to an unexplainable psychotic outbreak in the Conference of Leading Gods, Lord Angelous of Hyrule stormed out without even answering a simple question. Other gods and goddesses are beginning to wonder if Angelous even knows what he's doing?!' Oh no! Navi, I'm destroying Angelous' career!" I clutched my head with my hands and unexpectedly thundered out of the room.
"Poor Link. He just can't take it." Navi said to herself.
Up on the spot where Angelous and I talk all the time, a cliff where you can see all of Hyrule and its glory, the place that not a lot of people know about, Angelous was sitting on the ledge, thinking about the day he just had. He sighed a deep sigh to himself. "What a day. Link has it tougher then I expected." Just as Angelous was about to close his eyes to rest, I thundered in. I gasped and looked around until I knew where I was. Angelous just looked at me and blinked a few times. "Link." I turned my head at the sound of my name.
"Angelous?" I said, still gasping for air. Angelous folded his arms and smiled at me.
"How was your day?" He asked in what I'm still convinced was a mocking matter. I stopped gasping and caught my breath.
"Oh, you know, a little of this, a little of that." Angelous looked at me like he knew I was lying, which, he probably did. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Angelous just continued to smile, sinisterly at me. He knew how much I hated when he did that. It creeps me out. I bit my lower lip before I said anything. "Alright, Angelous! I admit it! It's hard being you! All the conferences, all the meetings, and what is up with you and Din?!" Angelous giggled and rolled his eyes. He nodded his head as well.
"It's not easy being a god." I lowered my head as my eyes searched the ground.
"No, it's not ..."
"And neither is being a teenage – psychic – demi – god." I looked up to him. "You also have a lot to deal with. You have a girlfriend who is always around, I swear, if I have to see her with me again, I might have to cut her pretty blonde hair off." I chuckled. "You also have to deal with Shawn and his habit of getting into embarrassing situations for the both of you. Not to mention that you have so many teachers that hate you for no reason. This, I will bring up with your mother. And, to top it all off, you hear everything, and you feel the presence of other people and what they feel as well. I don't know how you do it, Link, but you do it well." Angelous and I smiled at each other for a minute. Then, something caught my mind. Before this 'father / son bonding' thing went any farther, Angelous deserved to know the reason why we switched.
"... A – Angelous ..."
"What is it, Link?"
"... There's ... something I've gotta tell you ..." Angelous shrugged, signaling me to say what I had to say. I looked at him. With my face, he looked so innocent and understanding, so pure. Wait, what am I saying? This IS Angelous we're talking about, after all. "... I ... I ..." Angelous gave me an irritated look. I bit my lip again. "I made this happen!" I clenched my eyes and turned away. Angelous put his hand on my shoulder.
"Calm down, Link. I'm sure it's not your fault."
"Yes it is! I wished for you to live a day in my life so you'd know just how stressful my day really is!" Angelous opened his eyes widely.
"Really?" He looked at the ground and chuckled to himself. "... Where do I start?" I didn't notice him saying that. I continued to stare at the ground in disappointment.
"I'll understand if you don't want to be my coach anymore." Angelous looked at me.
"Why wouldn't I want to be your coach anymore?" I looked at him in a way that said 'weren't you listening?'
"Because I made this happen! If it weren't for me, we'd still be in our own bodies."
"Believe me, Link if I held up my card, it would say the exact same thing." I stared at him for a second in confusion.
"... What?" Angelous sighed deeply before he explained.
"I too wished for you to live a day in my life. To let you know that there's more to being a god then just giving orders and being worshiped. We both wished for the same thing and that's why we switched. So don't worry. It's not totally your fault." I stared at Angelous for a second, then at the ground. While I was looking at the ground, I started to chuckle slightly.
"Wow ... the apple really doesn't fall from the tree." Angelous chuckled as well.
"Two sides of the same coin." We both giggled and looked at each other.
"How come you were so made when we switched?" Angelous sighed deeply before he answered.
"First of all, I was not about to admit that I wanted to be you. And second of all, I didn't think it would actually work. But now, I'm glad it happened. It allowed me to know more about you. Before you showed up, I took a trip through your memory."
"You looked through my memory? You can't do that! Can we do that?"
"I can, you can't. And you were right. I didn't know very much about you. I looked at your life and wonder why you put up with it. You amaze me, Son." Angelous smiled, causing me to smile.
"I love you, Angelous." Angelous stared at the ground.
"You too." That was it. I decided that this little habit of Angelous' had to stop then and there.
"... Why do you do that?" Angelous looked up.
"Do what?"
"Whenever someone says they love you, you don't say it back." Angelous gave me a look like I was crazy.
"I just did."
"No you didn't. You said 'you too.' You never say it. Angelous, haven't you ever said 'I love you' to anyone?" Angelous' expression grew sad as he looked at the ground yet again.
"Yes ... your mother ..." My attitude changed. All of a sudden, I felt sad for Angelous.
"Oh ... sorry."
"It's alright. I did not notice that it was a habit of mine.
"Everyone notices it. Me, Mother, Zelda, even your sisters." Angelous giggled.
"I'll try to work on it."
"Promise?"
"I promise." "So, can I keep you as my coach?" Angelous chuckled and held out his hand.
"Better then that, you can keep me as your father." I smiled and joined hands with him. When I did, Angelous jumped and closed his eyes. In his mind, he saw Zelda in a dark ally, screaming and being attacked by Dark Link. Then he came to. His breathing was heavy for a few seconds.
"Angelous, are you okay?"
"Link, I think I just had one of your ... premonitions!"
"A premonition? What did you see?"
"Zelda, she was being attacked by Dark Link!" I was starting to get scared.
"Where?"
"Follow me!" And with that, he shimmered away as I thundered after him.
