Link walked into the usual room looking quite relieved.
"Well, well, you're happy for someone who looked doomed the other day." Ganondorf said.
"Remember how I said I shared a perspective on the shadow temple with the player?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, it bugs her so much, she had me avoid it and do just about everything else but that. We even won epona, got the sun's song..."
"She didn't get that with the kid?"
"The redeads in there give her the ultimate creeps. I've seen her hand the controller over to her brother for things like that."
"Yeah, I know about that one." Another voice said. Young link walked into the room.
"What are you doing here?" link asked, slightly annoyed.
"I've got every right to be in here as you, back off." The kid said mildly.
"ouch." Link muttered. "Unless you want to join our conversation or drink coffee, either of which I'm sure is not the case, may I suggest you find another place to hang out?" he urged.
Young link seemed to ignore him. "Well, if you really must know, the girls are posting an invasion of the other break rooms, if you know what I mean, so this reclusive hole in the cart * is the only place left."
*(just a quick reminder, this is all taking place inside the cartridge)
Link blinked a few times, unsure of what to say. As if on cue, navi whizzed through the door.
"Is this 'barge in on link and Ganondorf day'?" link asked.
Navi truly ignored him. This seemed to dishearten him a little.
"Come on, zel found something cool, wanna come?" navi asked kid link.
"sure." He agreed, and they left.
"Wow, what was the sudden change of attitude? Usually you and the fairy get along well." Ganondorf said.
Link half sighed, half groaned. "She doesn't like the way I treat the kid, that's all."
"Oh. She doesn't like the big brother attitude?"
"Nope. I don't know how she stays on cue in the game; it bugs her so much here."
"Back on topic, anything else you got in game?"
"Oh, yeah, snuck into the gerudo fortress, sniped some guards, man, I love to do that, just, don't tell them, okay?"
Ganondorf smiled knowingly. "I'll try."
"So now, all we need now are..." link's expression melted away, and he smacked his forehead.
Ganondorf laughed. "You need the lens of truth from the well and the hover boots from the shadow temple."
"Good thing the well's short and the boots are just inside that early chamber." Link said for his own assurance. "Are we well stocked with coffee? I don't want to have to dash for more before i 'play' again."
"I brought in some more while you were out. We've got enough." Ganondorf assured. "Even a fresh pot of coffee."
"Man, you're too good." Link gratified. He poured a cup and drank it, but not as rapidly as the last time.
"Feel like another game today?" Ganondorf asked.
"What do you have in mind?"
"I kind of feel like playing checkers."
"okay." Link said with a little shrug.
The duration of the checkers game passed without threats on secrets.
"So, what have you been up to? You don't make that many appearances in the game." Link said.
"Eh, catching up on some reading, chatting with some of the other characters, to tell you the truth, it's pretty boring. Heh, I hope you don't beat me too fast in the end." Ganondorf said sheepishly.
Link grinned. "We'll see. Speaking of beating..." he moved a piece. "You'd better be on guard." He warned.
Ganondorf's checker pieces were in very vulnerable positions.
He mended that in a few moves.
"You know, I've never asked you, but what's your favorite level?" he asked.
"hmm." Link sighed, pondering the answer. "I think that would be the fire temple."
"Would the fact that the sage is nothing for me to tease you about part of the reason why?"
Link gave him a strange, partly irritated, partly dumbfounded look.
"You just don't quit."
Ganondorf smiled. "No, I don't. But I got that from hanging around you too much."
"Heh."
"Link, I have an idea." Ganondorf said, while the game was still undecided.
"What's that?" link asked.
"How about we settle on something."
"What do you mean?"
"In essence, a bet. If I win, you have to go talk to Saria and tell her right there how you feel."
Link blushed furiously. "You..."
Ganondorf was unflustered. "So? Think up something just as undesired for me."
Link wracked his brains. Something that Ganondorf wouldn't want to do.
He smiled. "You have to get nabooru to kiss you." he said.
"What? But I told you, she doesn't even like me!"
"I never said it had to count, I just said you had to get her to do it."
"But how will I do that?"
"That's up to you to decide."
Ganondorf paused, almost rethinking his whole idea. Link was pretty sure of himself right about now. In fact, his delicate smile was haunting. But Ganondorf wasn't about to back down.
"You're on." Ganondorf said, accepting link's proposal to his challenge, and making a calculated maneuver to continue the newly refueled game.
A/N: I know this is short, but I have a funny result in my head, regardless of who wins the game and bet. Who do you think should lose? Should link openly confess his feelings to Saria? Should Ganondorf get nabooru to kiss him? I'm letting you, the readers, decide. Please review! It's the only way to pick the direction of the next chapter because I am a very indecisive person! ^_^
