"Well Nami, Happy Birthday! The party will be soon ready to go. So why don't you go get your friends while I finish up with the cake." said an elderly woman to her granddaughter.

It was present day Hyrule, and one young girl was preparing for her coming of age party. She lived with her grandmother and her parents in a nice two story estate. She came from a well-off family. It was not that they were especially rich, but the things they needed were always somehow provided. Because of this they could save money, and Nami's parents decided to do something fun. They had recently left for a very long trip around the world. They had invited Nami, but she didn't want to leave her grandmother all alone. She loved her grandmother more than anyone else.

"Well… I wrote the time of the party on the invitation and the only person I have to get is Tani, so she'll come." said Nami, a 15 year old teenager, as she braided her long light brown hair with a red ribbon. Her green eyes sparkled with excitement. This was the day she had been waiting for.

"Ok honey just don't miss the party dear, you'll miss all of your wonderful friends. Oh like that handsome young chap, what was his name…Brady... Baldy…Bradley, Ohh yes Bradley you should think about him." said her grandmother as she winked at Nami and started towards the door

"Like I would." Nami shuddered "But I'll be going now, so bye Grandma. See ya..." said Nami as she walked out the door.

"Her and her slang words, rubbish..." said Nami's grandma, raising an eyebrow and shaking her head. "Bye Darling, See you in twenty-five minutes, and not a second later." She said while she waved good bye. "Now, I'm going to go to the shrine to pray. Hopefully this whole thing will come out good." The woman, all four feet of her, made her way to a small yard on the side of massive house. There was a small stone shrine. This was not a common sight in this time. Most of the people stopped believing in the three deities as time passed and the old ways were forgotten. There were some who still believed. The old woman lit some incense and knelt down in front of an altar.

"Din, Nayru, Farore, please put your hands on us today. This is a very important day for my dear Nami. Goddesses, hear my prayer." She said with a bow of her head.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Hello, Tani wake up! You promised to come to my party!" Screamed Nami as she banged on Tani's bedroom door. "Wake up Tani! Please!"

The door opened to reveal a girl about the same age as Nami, only she had pure black hair that was done up in an intricate bun kept up with chopsticks. There was one section left down, covering half of her face. Her eyes were deep blue and they looked as though they would go on forever in darkness. She was wearing a tight black dress that stopped on the left side about mid lower calf and extended on the other side to the floor. The top of the dress was criss-crossed with a black ribbon.

"I have been awake all night meditating so I may be able to suppress the urge to disembowel some of the moronic people you've invited to this social gathering." said Tani with a stoic expression on her face.

"Ooooooook, nice to see you too, good morning! You look great! Let's go and get my dress on!" said a very happy Nami as she dragged Tani off out the door to Nami's house.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"About time Nami dear, some of your friends are already outside..." said her grandma, but her voice trailed off as Nami dragged Tani out on to their back yard. Nami opened the door with a huge smile on her face; she saw a field with a few trees, but on the trees was confetti strung between each one, she also saw three tables, but on the tables were mountains of food. Even though it was about 5:00 there were no bugs on the food, for her Grandma, cleverly bought a bug net big enough to cover the whole yard and still barely touch the top of the trees. There was at the very least fifty people laughing and dancing without their shoes and socks. It was the party of a life time and it was Nami's sixteenth birthday party. Her grandma spared no expense.

"Oh I'm so happy, I hope that everyone's having a great time!" said Nami smiling hard enough to shatter a stone heart. Tani remained outwardly unaffected.

"It's nice I… I am sure that I will have a good time." Said Tani with the same old monotone voice "But let's get your dress on. And get out of all of this noise…"

"What?" said Nami still looking around and smiling...(like a madwoman!)

"Oh I didn't say anything. Come on, let's go." Said Tani trying to stay out of all the light

"Ok come on slowpoke." Said Nami laughing running up the stairs

"Yah, now its me." Said Tani as she smiled a very rare smile.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Ok I'm ready." Said Nami from behind a curtain "Ta-dah!"

Nami stepped out of the curtain revealing a beautiful girl in a fabulous golden gown that was tight at the stomach and the upper body, but loose at the bottom. The dress went down to the floor and had a slit up the side. On the sides of the slit and the bottom of the dress there was yellow lace that was curled up to the bottom of the dress. She had her long brown hair up into a pony tail only the tail was curled into long, delicate, beautiful curls, and she had one curl over onto her face.

"So what do ya think?" said Nami twirling around and fanning out the dress

"It looks great." Said Tani with an amazed look on her face, which she quickly replaced with a stoic mask.

"Ohh I'm so glad that you think so. You are always so supportive!" she screamed as she jumped on Tani and hugged her immensely

"Ok, now is when you get off of me." Tani said, gasping for breath.

"Let's go! We're going to miss the party!" Said Nami as she, once again, dragged Tani outside to the party.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Ummmmm cough-cough-cough ok this has been fun now hasn't it…" said Nami's voice. She was uncomfortable due to the conversation about Tani going on behind her back.

"Yah, looks like Tani finally crawled out of her rat hole, if you can called that hut a rat hole" said Bradley, he had a jock look about him and he had a smirk that was just asking to get wiped off

"Yah like, totally." said his girlfriend. Could she have looked more like a Barbie?

"Yah, Sweetie, she's also got to be the stupidest person around here for her lack of parents..." said Bradley with so much nerve that his head was over flowing with ignorance.

"Hey, why don't you leave her alone? She hasn't done anything to you." Nami said timidly. Bradley's girlfriend narrowed her eyes and then smiled.

"It's more the fact that she is poisoning us with her being here." She said.

"Don't say that or you can leave!" Nami said, getting a little annoyed. She had wanted everyone to get along! Bradley's girlfriend glared at her and then turned to Bradley.

"Let's leave, love. This is the worst party I've ever been to anyway." She said coldly. Tani had overheard the conversation, and she was doing her best to ignore it. But this last comment was too much for Tani. Looking at her best friend's crestfallen face, she stood swiftly and knocked over her chair.

"If you wish to make fun of and show your idiocy and ignorance, have fun. But do not bring Nami into this." she said this while she towered over them both and, for some reason all the people had moved in a circle around Tani and the couple "And next time you lay eyes on me, I may be the last thing you ever see." Said Tani in almost a whisper, after she said the last part she smile malevolently and turned around and started to walk out of the party through the house. Nami stared after her, and then turned to Bradley and his girlfriend.

"This wasn't supposed to happen! You two ought to be ashamed of yourselves!" Nami yelled furiously. She turned to go, and Bradley's girlfriend stepped on the end of her dress. All chatting stopped as the terrible sound of ripping cloth filled the air. Nami looked at her ruined dress and tears filled her eyes. She ran into the house. Nami's grandmother went onto the stage in the middle of the party and began telling people they should leave. This was met with shouts of such things as: 'the night is young' and 'there's still tons of food!' She saw it was useless and she went to the house and turned on the sprinklers. People fled, covering their heads. Nami's grandmother shook her heads.

"Oh goddesses, they didn't deserve this."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Tani and Nami sat in silence in Nami's room. Tani was mutilating a pillow and Nami was drying her eyes.

"Tani, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen." Nami said, sniffing. Tani looked at her friend and her face softened.

"I don't blame you. I am quite used to people laughing at me. People have never liked me, ever since..." Tani was speaking of the night both her parents had disappeared. It had happened when she was 7. One night, both of her parents had simply disappeared. People wondered if they had been murdered, or had abandoned their only child. Some even blamed Tani for it, saying she was a strange child that could do unusual things. Unusual meant bad around here. Tani had no other family, so she lived with many foster families. She didn't allow herself to get close to any of them. The incident with her parents had taught her that the ones you love will only hurt and desert you, so, if you love no one, you will not be disappointed. It was a pessimistic and cynical view of life, but from a young age, Tani had separated herself from the living world and become a very closed person. But when she met Nami...her heart began to open, just a little bit, but that little bit was like a ray of hope on a lost cause. And it was opening a little bit every day, Tani, of course, had never told Nami any of this. But truly Nami was the only person that had ever accepted her. And she was grateful, beyond even her own imagination.

"I have to go, I can't stay here and do nothing, so I will go and do something." Said Tani in a calm voice, though as hard as she tried to stop it, there was a little bit of sad mixed in there to.

"No Tani! It was not your fault! Please Bradley an-"said Nami franticly getting to her feet.

"Nami..."for some reason Tani could not bring herself to look at Nami "I will come back, soon." Said Tani as she walked out of the door "Please don't follow me...I will be back." Tani listened to herself as if she was not only comforting Nami, but also herself. She crossed the hall and walked out the door. Not knowing where she was going, she walked bravely into the darkness.
