"Man, I hate this weather…I swear, it should be illegal to be this hot." Complained a young lithe man wearing all blue, a golden guitar strapped to his back.
"Oh, quit your whining Miaku." Replied a man sitting down on a bench next to him. He was massive, towering over everyone in size, strength and patience.
"Oh easy for you to say Darunia. You're used to it. I lived around Termina Bay most of my life and I'm not used to these sweltering Hylian summers." Complained Miaku, running a hand through his feathery blue hair.
Darunia just shook his head. They were eating lunch outside at the Nayru High and the temperature was 94 degrees. "I really don't think it's that hot…I mean, it could be worse…"
"How so?"
"Well…um…uh…" Darunia pondered thoughtfully.
"While you're thinking of how this hell on earth could be worse, it looks like Red and Blond are coming this way." Miaku commented.
Two girls walked over to the bench and both of them looked like they ran a mile race. The first had flame red hair and emerald eyes. She was pretty skinny but was considered to be extremely good looking by quite a few guys in the school. "This-is-hell…" she breathed, sitting down next to Miaku.
"That's an understatement Malon…" the blond girl replied, sitting down next to her.
"See!" Miaku added quickly. "Zelda and Malon are both boiling! I'm telling you Darunia, you are the only person who isn't bothered by this weather."
"Not so! Brother can handle this kind of heat easily!" Darunia protested.
"Its cause he trains in this kind of extreme…I swear, one of these days he's going to get himself killed from either frostbite or heatstroke." Miaku said, shaking his head. "Oh, speaking of your Brother, how's he doing?"
"Oh same old, same old." Darunia picked at a tray in front of him. "I think the schools are trying to either poison us or brainwash us with this crap."
"Who's this mysterious brother of yours that you guys are always talking about?" Zelda spoke up. "I've known you guys for about two years and I've never found out who your blood brother is Darunia."
Darunia smiled and his chest puffed out proudly. "My blood brother is one of the greatest Hylian alive! Brave, intelligent and powerful!"
"Jeeze," Malon replied, "You make him sound like the freaking Triforce."
"Well who is he?" Zelda asked again, exasperated.
"His name is Link, a Cipherer for Dragmire Industries and five time Champion of the Hylian tournaments!" Darunia answered.
Zelda gasped. "No way!"
"What? What's the matter?" asked Malon.
"Yesterday I got attacked by a couple of Moblins when this hotty comes and saves me! He says his name is Link and he works for Dragmire Industries! Also that he was the five time Champion of the Hylian tournaments!" Zelda spat out, bouncing in her seat.
"Figures." Miaku smirked. "That makes it…how many has he saved so far Darunia?"
"I dunno." Darunia replied. "I'm not keeping track." Just then, Darunia's cellphone rang. He pulled it out and answered it. "Darunia here. Who is calling? What? Whoah, Link, calm down…Ok…Ok. Listen, I'm sure you wont get in trouble…you didn't know…. No, I don't think he'd stoop to that level. Maybe he didn't know as-…you're right. How are you going to explain this then? All right, we'll head out as soon as possible. I'll bring along a little help Ok? What do I mean by help? Well, let me put it this way, you're being a hero just saved your own ass. All right, stay save Brother."
"What's going on?" asked Miaku as Darunia hung up, his face dead serious.
"Link just got a hold of evidence that Dragmire Industries are making him decoding stolen documents. Apparently they have the signature of Harkinain Enterprises and Link is freaking out because he thinks he'll get blamed for stealing them." Darunia explained, locking eyes with Zelda.
She got the hint. "Don't worry, after what Link did, I'm sure he could have stolen the documents himself and Daddy would still forgive him. When we get there I'll verify the manuscript and go through any proper procedures. I'll then call Daddy and have explain the situation."
Darunia smiled and enveloped Zelda in a bone-crushing hug. "Thanks Zel…you're the best!"
Zelda struggled to smile and was relived when Darunia released her. "Don't mention it…I mean, he did save me after all. It's only right that I return the favor."
Malon looked worried. "I hope Link will be all right."
"Oh, don't worry about your 'Linky.' I'm sure he'll be Ok." Miaku assured the redhead who just glared at him.
"Shut up. So I have a pet name for him, does that bother you?" Malon shot venomously. "Come on Malon, it's only obvious that you'd like to get your hands on his butt, both figuratively and literally." Miaku taunted.
"Careful Miaku, don't use all of your vocabulary in one sentence." Malon retorted.
Darunia and Zelda looked at each other and sighed. They then began to walk away and were almost out of the school before their two companions realized that they had been left behind…
