Black Triforce: Back with a new chapter! But first… (sighs) I must explain this before anyone else comments on it. I'm NOT using the Links from Four Swords! I'm using different Links from a different game! Understand? That… and I always disagree with someone about the colors of something… (stares into space) I'll shut up now.

'First they tear down my door, nearly give me a heart attack, and now they expect me to talk to them like nothing happened. Oh, what am I to do? What am I supposed to say?' These were the thoughts racing through my head as my first patient, the one in green, sat down and looked around the room. I'm guessing I was taking a bit long because he waved his hand in front of my face and asked, "Are you okay?"
Even though it was quite obvious that I wasn't okay I nodded and began. I racked my brain for questions until I found the one that bugged me the most. "So, umm…" (I wasn't sure of the boy's name and I wasn't about to call him Green.)
"Link,"
"Link, how… interesting." Maybe his parents had been on drugs when they thought of his name. "And the others?"
Link looked uncomfortable and fidgeted slightly. "Also Link, so it might just be better to call us by our color," I had to pause. Also Link? I know some names are popular but what were the chances that four boys who happened to look exactly alike also happen to have the same name? I have to say zero to none. I must've looked somewhat startled because he added, "I can explain everything,
"A long time ago, when I was about… ten or so, this evil wizard came to my world, kidnapped the princess, I had to use this sword to defeat him, and that spilt me and…" He paused to let me take everything in. I, of course, was in a small state of shock. Wizard? Princess? Swords that spilt people? Maybe these boys were here because they slipped into their "happy places", as some of my patients said, a little too often.
"I can see you're not following any of this so I'll just skip ahead to later. And by later, I mean about… six years later. Anyway, I was wandering around in the field when out of nowhere, this weird person popped up. The person was bit on the short side, dressed in mostly black, and had bright green spiky hair. He just skipped up to me and sang something weird. Like 'Ick need sam sheep, one, two, three… ark something the doublehanger' And made these weird signs like this…"
Link started making odd gestures with his hands. Or… at least attempted to. (It was clear he had no idea what he was doing.) "Or something along the lines of that but at the end he pointed at me, there was a flash, and then I got this weird feeling. It was kind of like someone pulling on my ears really really hard." He looked at me with a pained smile. "You know what I mean?"
I didn't but merely nodded.
"Well, then I turned around and there they were. Red, Blue, and… Pink." Link took a deep breath. "And now… they all drive me insane, Red and Pink always fight, I can't get Blue to talk, much less participate in anything, and now I'm sitting here talking to you because they can't even try to at least pretend to be normal, and they just get me so mad that… Agh!" Link stood up and marched over to the wall. Before I knew what was happening, my patient was pounding his head into the wall while he muttered something in another language. (I believe he was cursing.)
I tried to get him to stop but it was no use. He was pounding so hard that debris start to flake from the roof. In panic, I ran over to my desk and grabbed 'The Box'. I ripped in open and hurried over to the still frustrated Link. I handed him one of the pills from the box and told him to take it. (Well, yelled at him to take but it was the only thing I could do to be heard over the noise.) My patient swallowed the pill after I convinced him that it might help him calm down.
But oh how wrong I was.
As soon as the pill hit Link's stomach, he fell over like he had been hit it the head and landed on his rear with a soft bump. He rubbed his head and let out a small sigh. Then for some reason, he tensed. He slowly turned his head and glanced at his hand. It was shaking violently. He looked up at me in horror and uttered these words, "What did you give me?" His voice was shaking muck like his hand.
"A sugar pill. Why?" (I know it sounds silly but I have a few cases where sugar or caffeine actually calms my patients down.) Link gulped.
"Did you say… sugar?" I nodded. "Oh no… I can't have…" Link twitched. "Sugar... It… does stuff to me…" He twitched again and started to laugh. It started out soft but grew louder, and louder, and soon my patient was on the ground clutching his stomach. At first I had no idea what was going on. Then it finally dawned on me. Link was going hysteric. Suddenly, his breathing slowed and started to sound like growling. "Sugar…"
I frowned. "What?" Link turned around slowly to look over his shoulder. There was a demonic glint in my patient's eyes. "Sugar!" I stepped away from the boy in green. He stood up and grabbed the box of pills, and dumped all of the contents into his mouth. A abnormally huge grin came on his face as he started to jump up and down. "Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar!" Link's eyes darted around the room and frowned.
"You have sugar?" I was too stunned to speak. I could only shake my head. My now-demonic patient frowned and spit on my shoe. "I need sugar!" He then turned, ran to the window, and jumped out. (The window was closed.) As I stood staring at the shower of broken glass, I heard the insane cackling of the sugar crazed demon echo through the street.

Black Triforce: Good or bad? Tell me! (foams at mouth for a few minutes then calms down) Sorry. It took a while for me to think of a problem for Green. Anyway, review now! Thank ye.
