Link slept like a log for most of the night, sadly his peaceful slumber was interrupted because of a little white fairy. "Wake up!" Tatl hit Link on the head.
"Ow! That's it I'm going to get a helmet!" Link sat up in the bed and started to stretch. "So what brings you here?"
"I want you to let me meet King Hyrule! It's the least you could do since I helped you on your journey." Tatl gave him a pleading look.
Link grabbed his pillow and threw it at her. "Let me sleep! I was up all night hanging out with my girlfriend." Link shot his eyes open. 'Nice going, now she'll freak out!' Link closed his ears and waited for Tatl to react.
"YOU-YOU-YOU-YOU-YOU-YOU-YOU-YOU-YOU-YOU-YOU-YOU'RE DATING PRINCESS ZELDA?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Tatl squealed.
The door opened and a guard came in. "Sir Link, is something wrong?!"
Link grabbed Tatl and put her under his hat. "Uh, no! Everything's fine!"
"If something happens don't hesitate to ask for one of us." The soldier left the room and Link took off his hat.
"What were you trying to do suffocate me?!" Tatl yelled at him.
"No of course not, I would never do that in a place where people can find me!" Link gave a small laugh and Tatl flew a few steps back. There was another knock on the door and Link grabbed Tatl again. "Come in!"
King Hyrule came inside. "Link, is something wrong? I heard a really loud squeaking voice."
Link had to hold his hat down because Tatl was trying to break free this time. "No, there's nothing wrong!"
"Then why is your hat trying to fly away?" King Hyrule pointed to Link's hat.
"Uh, it's magical! You see it accidentally fell into a pool full of magic water." Link gave a nervous laugh and King Hyrule gave him a concerned look.
King Hyrule walked up to Link and put his hand on his forehead. "You don't have a fever. I think you're just under a lot of stress. Take it easy will you?! We're on vacation for goddess's sake!"
King Hyrule left the room and Link let go of his hat. "Sorry, about that, Tatl! I just didn't want you to get a restraining order." Link apologized.
Tatl glared at him and threatened to hit him over the head when there was another knock on the door. Anju came in this time with a tray of food. "Link…I mean…"
"Don't worry, Anju, I really am Link." Link reassured her. "Just one thing, let's just keep it between our little group okay?"
Anju nod and got back to the reason she came there. "I made you some food, I hope you like it." Anju put the food down and walked back to the door. She bowed and left the room.
"You know, she bows too much." Tatl pointed out.
"Yeah, and you talk too much!" Link threw a pillow at her and went back to sleep.
"Tatl, where are you?!" Tael asked as he flew around Romani's room.
"She's probably went looking for Link. You know how obsessed she can get." Skull Kid answered.
"Poor Link, he had to spend a whole adventure with her." Romani sighed and looked out the window.
"Do you think Link will ever come back when his vacation is over?" Skull Kid asked.
"Of course he would! Link's too nice and kind hearted to leave us like that!" Romani assured him. "At least… I hope so."
"Come on, let's go get the Deku Princess and see if we can find out where they're going next!" Tael flew out the door followed by the others.
Link only got a few seconds of sleep before Tatl woke him up again. "Get up you lazy teen!" Tatl yelled in his ear.
"No, Navi, I don't wanna fight Ganon!" Link swat the air and rolled over.
"Who's Navi?! And get the hell up!" Tatl ran into Link and he bolted up.
"Fine, I'm up!" Link he got up and walked wearily around, with his eyes close, still half a sleep. He first ran into a chair and then a wall. Link opened his eyes and rubbed his forehead. "Stupid wall!"
Tatl flew to door and turned green. "Use the door, moron!"
'I wish the door would fly open and force her into the wall.' Link's wish came true, the door flew open and Tatl was forced into the wall. Link looked up to the ceiling and mouthed the words. "Thank you"
"Link, the Deku kingdom is under an attack!" Zelda said breathlessly.
"What!" Link ran past his girlfriend and out the door.
Zelda followed close behind him and closed the door on her way out. "Wait up, Link!"'
Tatl floated around dizzily trying to get her head together. "Ow! That really hurt!" She noticed that Link wasn't there anymore. "Hey wait for me!"
Romani, Skull Kid, and Tael reached the swamp just about the time Link and Zelda reached it. "What are you doing here Princess Zelda?" Skull Kid asked nervously.
"The swamp is under an attack, stay back until everything is clear." Zelda said gasping for air.
"But one of our friends is in there!" Skull Kid told her.
Link fell to one knee and put his hand on Skull Kid's shoulder. "Don't worry; we'll get her out safe and sound."
"There you are!" Tatl finally reached Link and Zelda. "How dare you leave me behind!"
"Link do you know her?" Zelda asked him in a whisper.
"Uh, no! She's just probably a fan of you!" Link lied.
"What the hell are you talking about?! I'm one of your friends! Don't try to dump me because you want to impress your girlfriend!" Tatl hit him on the head.
Zelda raised an eyebrow, and then it hit her. "Why didn't you tell me that you've made new friends?!"
"Uh, well I wasn't sure if they were just using me." Link gave a nervous laugh and rubbed the back of his head. He turned to Tatl. "Stay here where it's safe!"
"Come on, I want to come too!" Tatl complained.
"I need you to take care of everyone here." Link turned to the others. "Make sure she doesn't follow us."
Skull Kid saluted him and Link walked away with Zelda not far behind. Ten minutes later Skull Kid, Tael, and Tatl followed them. Romani however went back to the inn to tell Anju. Link and Zelda ran through the swamp not bothering to hitch a ride on one of the tour boats, they were in too big of a hurry. Zelda hated getting her good dress wet and dirty but she had to help the Deku people and stop whoever sent the attack. When they arrived both of them were tiered and out of breath. They walked wearily to the castle entrance and saw the guard Deku Shrubs on the ground…dead.
"Who would do such a thing?" Zelda asked as she examined one of the corpses.
"Ganon… He's the one who did this!" Link told her with pure hate in his voice.
"You mean that Ganon broke free already?!" Zelda asked scared.
"Can you think of anyone else?! I don't like the idea as much as you do but we have to be careful!" Link warned her.
"We should hide how we look so he won't know it's us." Zelda suggested.
"I think I still have some masks from when I was a kid."
Link looked through his stuff and pulled out a mask of a fox (Keaton's mask) and a mask of a Great Fairy. (Great Fairy's mask) He handed Zelda the Great Fairy's mask and put on his Keaton's mask. They both walked inside cautiously not making a sound, when they entered the first thing they saw was the Deku guards and king dangling above a fire. Link took his attention past them and saw what looked like Ganondorf in front of the king's throne holding the Deku Princess by the neck.
"How does it feel to be the first maiden?" Ganondorf asked with a laugh in his voice.
"Who are you?! Let me go!" the Deku Princess tried to break with no luck.
Link couldn't take anymore he unseathed his sword and ran up to Ganondorf with Zelda not far behind. "Let her go, Ganon!" Link demanded with even more hate in his voice than before.
Ganon could easily see through Link's and Zelda's disguises. "So the Hero of Time came to stop me yet again."
"I said let her go!" Link repeated.
"You think you can stop me? Once I get all of the maidens in each of the temples I can bring the power back to the Majora's Mask." Ganon laughed evilly as he disappeared with the Deku Princess.
"Colette! Bring her back!" Link yelled as he ran to the spot were Ganondorf once stood. (I decided to give the Deku Princess a name since I don't want to call her the Deku Princess over and over)
"Link, who was that guy and how did he know you?!" Tatl asked from behind him.
"That was Ganon and he has the Deku Princess." Link said grimily. Link thought for a minute and then turned around to see Skull Kid, Tatl, and Tael standing behind him. "Didn't I tell you not to follow me?"
"You actually thought I wouldn't follow you when you were so helpless when you were a kid?!" Tatl fell down laughing.
Link lifted is foot and let it hovered over Tatl. 'Must resist urge to kill her!' Link finally put his foot down and looked for Romani. "Is Romani okay?"
"Yeah, she went back to Clock Town. Link, was that guy after Colette?" Tael asked.
Link looked at him grimily and nod yes. "He's trying to bring power to the Majora's Mask by kidnapping…I don't know who yet."
"First let's save the first maiden! Link I'm leaving that up to you." Zelda turned to Skull Kid and Tael and knelt down. "Would you boys help me search for the information we need?"
"Of course, Colette was our friend!" Skull Kid answered.
"And I'll help Link! It'll just be like old times." Tatl smiled evilly. (Link couldn't see her smile but knew that she was)
Link grabbed Zelda's shoulders and started to shake her. "If you love me you won't leave me alone with her!"
Zelda pulled out her finger and started poking him. "That's what you get for not telling me about your past, Mr. I'm-too-self-conscious-about-what-my-girlfriend-thinks-to-tell-her-that-I'm-the-boy-who-saved-this-town!" (Zelda does have the Triforce of Knowledge so of course she could figure out that he was lying)
"Yeah, but…" Zelda interrupted him.
"You've traveled with her when you were a kid you can do it now! Now why don't you tell my father what happened? He's in the Clock Tower if you didn't know." Zelda walked off leaving a scared Link and friends behind.
"Word of advice: Don't date Zelda." Link said petrified.
There was a coughing sound and everyone turned to the mob of Deku Shrubs who were still dangling over a fire. "Would you mind doing us a little favor? Would you please…GET US DOWN!!!" The butler yelled.
"Sorry, I kind of forgot!" Link ran to them and helped them down.
"You mean King Hyrule isn't here?" Romani asked her cousin.
"Yes, one of the guards came in to talk to him." Anju answered.
"Do you know where he went?" Anju shook her head. "Well thanks anyway." Romani waved good-bye as she ran out of the inn and out to find King Hyrule. By the time she decided to search the Clock Tower Link had entered the town and was heading there also.
"How long has he been dead?" King Hyrule asked.
"We're not sure, but we believe its sometime yesterday." The guard answered him.
Romani walked to them and saw the Happy Mask sells man lifeless body on the ground. She gasped for air at the possibilities it could mean. She recovered quickly and grabbed the guard's armor. "Do you know if he has a mask that looks like it belonged to an old tribe?!"
"We didn't check for his masks. Now would you please let me go?" Romani let him go and ran to the body looking for the mask.
Link arrived at the scene just as about thesoldier was about to force Romani away from the dead body. "Romani, what are you doing here?"
"Link, do you have the Majora's Mask with you?!" She asked as quickly. "I can't find it!"
"Oh crap!" Link put his hands to his head. "Then that means he already has the mask!"
"Who has it?! Link what happened?!" Romani had pure fear in her voice.
"King Hyrule, we'll have to cut our vacation short! I need you too get Zelda out of here by all means!" Link told the old man.
"Link what is going on?!" King Hyrule asked.
"Tell all the villagers that the red eyed moon is coming back! When you've told everyone get Zelda out of here no matter how much she protests!" Link then turned to Romani. "Romani, I need you to take care of Skull Kid and Tael while I get Colette and who ever else I need to get!"
"Link, what is going on?!" King Hyrule asked again.
"Ganon has the Majora's Mask and he's trying to bring back its power!" Link informed him. "I don't want him to get the Triforce of Wisdom so I want you to get Zelda out of here!"
"You know she won't go quietly but if it's to stop the Majora's Mask I will do all I can." King Hyrule turned to the guard. "Would you please pack everyone's clothes except Link's?"
The guard nod yes and walked to the exit and opened it. A ball of light came running inside and ran herself into Link's head. "Why do you always forget me?!"
Link rubbed his head. "I don't know whose worse Ganon or you."
Romani giggled and King Hyrule walked up to Link. "I'm counting on you to bring peace back to this town."
"I will do my best, sir." Link knelt down to him.
Tatl ran up to King Hyrule with a piece of paper and a pen. "Can I have your autograph?!"
King Hyrule looked at her shock, but soon took the piece of paper and pen. "And who should I make this out to?"
"Make it out to Tatl." Tatl answered nervously.
"Here you go!" King Hyrule handed her the piece of paper and continued to walk back to the inn.
Tatl was frozen in mid-air. Link and Romani started at the now red ball of light. "Why am I not surprised?" Romani asked no one.
"The same reason I'm not." Link answered and both of them left the ball of light alone.
