Hi guys! First off, I would like to thank peeps.

Empress- yes yes, it's up! And thanx for the support!

blackcat5000- I hope I've got you hooked.

PinkyTheSnowman-I am flattered that you 'luffed' it so much! Hehehe.

Mentality at its Worst- I think it is harsh of you to flame a humour story such as this. If I spelt something wrong, it probably wasn't that I was being immature. You are being a bit childish to point it out so bluntly.

Well! Everyone except Mentality gets 86357 cool points! Thank you for reviewing!

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

At the top of the hill, (near Lon Lon Ranch) Tani fell over.

"Please, stop. Just for a minute." She said, taking refuge beneath a tree.

"Oh come on! We should get to the Forest A.S.A.P."

"Look, it's not going anywhere! Just chill for a second. Okay?"

"Fine. You sure are a lot of trouble for being here to help me."

"What? Oh yah, that. Well, I just haven't gone running across any massive fields lately."

Link smiled as he sat down beside her. "We're only half way across."

"You're serious? Damn. We are so getting you your horse after this."

"What horse?"

"You'll see."

"Well, are you rested? Can we get going now?"

"You're not the kind to sleep on the job are you? I guess not. Alright let's go. But can we take it slower this time?"

"Whatever you say." Link pulled her to her feet. She took a couple steps and collapsed again.

"I can't move. Go on without me." She said dramatically.

"Alright. See you later." Link shrugged.

"I wasn't being serious you dolt! Get back here!" Tani yelled, jumping to her feet. Link laughed and broke into a run.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Link! Wait up!" Tani panted as she reached the entrance to the Kokiri woods. (Ya know, where those trees the owl sits on are) She jumped slightly she saw the shadow of a tree move.

"Don't worry. The hero will not leave without you." Spoke a figure, stepping out from behind a tree. "Tani, if you guide the hero to the Temple in the woods, you shall be reunited with your bow."

"Really? I'll get my bow back? Wait, why should I trust you?" Tani asked with narrowed eyes.

"You have my word. The hero will find it in the Temple. All you need to do is guide him there and we will take care of the rest." The voice belonged to a girl that looked as though she was not much older than Link. She wore dark clothes and a rather imposing cloak. She had sweeping dark purple hair (that moved in the random wind.) But it was her eyes that gave her a menacing look. Dark, fiery, dangerous eyes. She smirked at Tani. "Can you do this?"

Tani crossed her arms. "I'm not making any promises."

"I shall take that as a yes." The girl said with a wave of her arm. "I'll see you again when I have further need of you." She blinked and turned into a ball of light. "And remember; once you are in the Woods, leave the hero. You will meet up with him at the temple. Eventually. That is the deal." The light took of in the direction of Lake Hylia.

"Yeah, cuz I really care about the 'deal'." Tani said, rolling her eyes.

OoO in the meantime OoO

Link stood on the bridge that hung above the Lost Woods. (Where Saria gave him the Fairy ocarina)

"Hurry up Tani." He muttered. He thought about the strange girl. He also thought of his first friend in the Kokiri forest, Saria. She was nice to him even when he didn't have a fairy. She was always calm and she was very nice. Completely unlike Tani, he thought to himself. She was something else entirely. But he felt comfortable around her, almost like he'd known her for a long time. He shook his head and took out the Fairy Ocarina. He smiled at it fondly. He had lost the ocarina Zelda had given him. It had somehow disappeared when he ran across Hyrule field. Luckily he had kept Saria's for sentimental reasons. He played a few notes on it, but it began to beep oddly.

-beep beep beep-

"What the-"

-beep beep beep. This ocarina will self-destruct in 5, 4-

"Eep! What am I supposed to do?"

-2,-

"Throw it Link, throw it!" Tani yelled as she stepped on the bridge. He did so. The ocarina exploded with a poof of confetti in the air above Link's head.

"Ooh. Pretty. I wonder why it boomed." Tani said quietly. "Weird."

"Yah." Link said sadly. "Speaking of weird, I haven't see Navi since I came out of the Temple…"

Tani choked on her hum. "Navi? She wouldn't happen to be a supremely annoying little fairy would she?" Tani asked nervously.

"I suppose you could say that. Why?" Link asked suspiciously.

"Uhm." Tani cleared her throat. "I didn't know, I swear!"

"What didn't you know?"

"Shewasjustflyingaroundandshewouldn'tshutupandIdidn'tthinkanyonewouldmissherso-"

"Slow down! Just tell me where she is."

Tani gulped. She tossed her yo-yo at him.

"What? Why did you give me your…" Link trailed off. He heard a strange squeaking noise. He blinked and looked down at the yo-yo. As it flashed, he was hit with realization.

"NAVI! How did you get in there?" he turned to Tani. "You did this?"

"I didn't know she was your fairy!" she defended, looking rather uncomfortable.

"Oh, so if she had just been some random fairy it would have been fine?" Link asked angrily.

"Well…"

"Are you serious!"

"Well that's what I had in there before."

"You're hopeless. Just set my fairy free." Link asked, disgusted. Tani took the yo-yo and twisted off the top. Navi flew out drunkenly.

"Air. Sweet air." She began to fall and Link caught her.

"You've nearly killed her!" Link accused.

"I wish." Tani muttered.

Death glare from Link and Navi

"I mean… Sorry." She mumbled, hanging her head.

"Whatever. Can we leave?" Link asked, obviously annoyed.

"Alright. You're no fun, did you know that? Now you know! Anyway, we should make a plan." Tani said as she began pacing the length of the bridge.

-creak-

"What'dya mean plan?"

"A plan for death and destruction, no doubt." Navi accused, now that she was able to flit around. (If she has enough strength to do that, she has enough strength to be annoying.)

"He didn't ask you, Twitchit." Tani said, making a face at the fairy. "He asked me." She turned to Link. "We need to make a plan to get to the Temple. I have a feeling it won't be that easy." She resumed her pacing.

-creak-

"That's Navi to you. And of course it will be easy." The self-identified fairy said confidently.

"Oh? And how to you know that?" Tani asked, with obvious contempt for the winged imp.

"Well for one, we have Link." Upon hearing his name he smiled proudly. "And two, when we're not sure which way we should go we just listen. If we hear music, we can go on. If we don't, that way will just take us back to the entrance." Tani just increased the pace of her pacing.

-creak-

"May I ask how you know this, oh great wise one?" Tani asked mockingly.

"I just know, alright? And would you stop that incessant pacing?"

"Alright! How about I jump!" Tani asked as she began to hop around.

-creak creeeeeeeeeeeeeeak snap-It was too much for the poor old bridge. Tani managed to hop onto the ledge before the rope snapped completely. Link didn't fare so well. He had sat down to watch Tani and Navi fight. He figured he might as well let them get it over with. So when the rope snapped, he went straight down and landed with a crash that cost him half a heart. Tani winced.

"Ooh. Sorry Link! That's my bad. I'll meet you in the Woods!" Tani yelled and then took off.

"What an idiot. Are you okay Link?" Navi asked, flying down to him.

"Yah, I'll be alright." He said as he stood up and brushed off his clothes. "It's Tani I'm worried about. I wouldn't be surprised if she was already in mortal danger."

OoOoO In the first real room in the Lost Woods (with the Deku Scrub) OoOoO

"5 Wolfos, all for me? How can a girl get so lucky?" Tani said as she sized up the Wolfos surrounding her. "This is no big deal. They're just hungry. Unfortunately I'm the main entrée. I only I had my bow or something." She snapped her fingers. "I knew this would come in handy!" she pulled out a huge bone. "And the people on the field trip said I was nuts. Here pup-pup! Puppy wanna bone?" the Wolfos all began to whine like pets. "Yah. Good Wolfos!" she began to swing the bone around. "Go and get it!" she threw it off into the woods, with the Wolfos in hot pursuit. Just when she thought she was safe…

-tonk- Tani picked up the Deku seed that bounced off her head and looked around suspiciously. It wasn't long before another hit her. This time she swung around just in time to see the Deku Scrub dive back into its flower.

"Think yer real slick, doncha, punk?" she said putting her hands on her hips. The response was another Deku nut. "That's it plantman!" Tani yelled as she ran towards the edge of the cliff. She jumped and landed on the tree. She was in the midst of trying to pull the Scrub up by his leaves when Link entered the clearing.

"Tani!" Upon hearing her name, she froze and slowly released the poor Deku. She sat down on the tree and acted as though she tried to uproot small plants every day of the week.

"Hi there Link. Funny meeting you here." She said, putting her hands behind her head.

"Just what were you doing young lady?" Navi asked flying over to her.

"Yah, really Tani. That guys neat! He gave me a bigger seed bag when I was little. Why are you picking on him?"

"He started it!" she defended, jumping off the tree and accidentally smacking Navi.

"Hey! That's not nice!"

"Hehehe… I mean, oops. I'm so sorry Blinky." Tani said, rolling her eyes.

"The name's Navi."

"Can we go now?" Link asked, completely bored.

"Lead the way! If we keep going straight, we're sure to get through here no prob!" Tani said gleefully.

"That's your master plan?" Link asked in disbelief.

"Don't knock it till you try it!"

"Whatever. Let's give it a shot."

"Yayness!"

"Idiots."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

So, with Tani's master plan, they took off through the woods. They didn't make much progress, but Link did find a Gold Skulltula.

"Jeez! That stoopid spider drove me nuts when I was a kid! I just couldn't get to it!" Link said happily.

"Groovy. Let's press, on shall we? Can we keep going straight? It's worked well so far." Tani said rapping her fingers on a random cow.

"Sure. Who's yer friend there?" Link asked, half laughing.

"This is MooMoo!" Tani said, giving no further explanation. Link shook his head.

"C'mon, let's go."

"Kay." They walked through the door straight in front of them.

"What the flip? We've been here already!" Link said incredulously. "Navi?"

"What?"

"Wasn't it your job to check for the music?"

"I did! There was music by the door! And by this one. And…" She began flying around. "There's music by all of these doors. That's not right." She went through the closest to her, only to come out a different door into the same clearing. "This isn't good…"

"What's the problem?" Tani asked. Navi sighed.

"Weren't you paying attention when I explained this earlier in the chapter?" Tani shook her head. "Well then, the music is supposed to lead us to Saria! If all the doors have music, then we're completely lost!" Navi said, sounding very downhearted.

"This ought to be fun…" Link said sarcastically.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

If only he knew. Hehehe. Oh and Empress, I used yer word up there. Yah don't mind, do ya? So! Why is the music playing by all the doors? What has caused this? Where's my Popsicle? Nobody ever suspects the butterfly… Review!
