Link exited the courtyard sometime later.

"What took you so long?" Christi demanded of the young boy, "What were you doing?" She wanted to know. Link had been talking to Zelda, that much she knew, but it seemed he had taken a little too long.

"Err.. Talking to the Princess Zelda and her caretaker, Impa." He replied.

"Relax, Christi." Ariel told her, "He had to learn the song..he probably isn't so good with the memory."

"Hmm...lets go." said Christi stomping off without the others. She walked pretty fast, so the others didn't really catch up. Ariel walked in silence until she heard Links voice.

"Whats up with your friend?"

"Oh, well...I think you should just let it go. I'll talk with her right now but til then just leave her to her thoughts." she smiled. She took a quick glanse at Christi then turned back to Link. "Hows the fairy?"

"Navi? She's asleep in my hat. She said we have to go to see the a race of creatures called the Gorons." he said, then pointed to a large mountain in the horizon.

"Well, lets go!" chimmed Ariel.

Link said nothing, instead replied with the action of sprinting forward into the space that was Hyrule Field. He was running towards the mountain, and to Kakariko Village, carefully clutching a letter in his hand. Soon enough they were climbing up the steps that led to KakarikoVillage.

"You guys go and try to find out anything about the next part in Link's adventure. I'll go find us another hotel." Said Christi walking away from the two. "I'll meet up with you when I find one."

"Okay! Come on Link, lets go" She looked down at Link and noticed the look on his face. "Whats wrong?"

"We shouldn't leave your friend behind. We don't even know this place. It could be dangerous." Said Link looking down.

"She'll be fine." Ariel assured him, but he refused to leave Christi behind.

"No.. We can't be sure about that." Link told her. His heroism was starting to emurge. "If something does go wrong, she doesn't even have a weapon to protect herself."

Ariel sighed, how would she explain that they did know the town and knew that the most dangerous thing in it at the time were aggravated Cuccos? She didn't feel up to the challenge, "Alright then." She followed Link into a hotel that Christi had walked into earlier.

"Christi!" Link called to her, "Good, you're safe."

"Huh? I thought you guys were scoping the place out? That's the first time you've said my name ya know" Said Christi. She walked over to them and handed Ariel the key to the room. "You guys go check out the room if you want. I have something I need to do."

"Wait! You shouldn't go out by yourself! We don't know this place, someone might try to take you." Said Link trying to get her to not go.

"Listen, I'll be fine. I just need to go take care of something important. I'll be right back. I promise" She smiled and patted Link on the head.

He was still uncertain if he should let her go, not that it mattered since she probably would go anyway, but he nodded and turned back to Ariel.

"Come on." She said, grasping the room key in her hand and walking upstairs to their room. She unlocked the door and gestured for Link to enter and followed him inside.

"It looks exactly the same as the other one." Link noted quietly.

"Yeah," Ariel replied absentmindedly, looking out the window, "Except this room has a window..." What was so important that her friend needed to take care of that she didn't know about? I would've thought that she'd want to spend every moment in the game with Link.. Ariel thought.

"So where's the 'Princess of Darkness'?" Said E.T's voice from the ceiling.

"I don't have a clue." Ariel sighed. "She said she had important business that needed to be taken care of.."

"HA! Since when did she get a life? Just kidding. Well, I can only see you guys when you're around Link so that makes sense..." said E.T.

"I wonder what she's up to..." Said Ariel hugging the pillow on her bed.

"Who are you talking to?" Said Link, looking around the rrom for someone else that Ariel might be talking to.

"Oh! E.T.. you know the fairy?"

"Fairy? Since when was I a fairy? And why a fairy? How come I couldn't be a dragon?" Questioned E.T.

"Shut up. You're lucky you even a fairy. You could be a...Deku Sprout!" Retorted Ariel at the ceiling.

"Umm...are you fighting with the ceiling?" Said Link looking at the ceiling too.

"No, just our little annoying fairy."

"Damn, I'm truely hurt." Said E.T with much sarcasm.

"You will be when we get back." Said Ariel waving her fist at the ceiling.

"Always with the threats. You'll end up in court for death threats just like your boyfriend." E.T replied sharply.

"Don't bring him into this!" Ariel yelled, throwing her pillow at the ceiling, wishing that it could hit E.T. Instead, it hit the ceiling and fell back down, hitting her face."That's just cold."

Link held back a laugh as he watched the pillow flop down on Ariel's face.

"Are you almost done prancing around in Hyrule? I can't cover for you two being gone forever. School's going to be over in a few hours, and you only have an excuse to 'stay after school' until 4:30." E.T informed an aggravated Ariel.

"Sure! Change the subject!" Ariel replied angrily, "I swear, when I get back..."

"Okay okay. Jeez."

"We probably aren't gonna be back for days anyway. So you better think of a good excuse." Said Ariel ignoring what E.T just said.

"I can't cover up for you that long! Why should I anyway?"

"You're right. Nobody will notice we're gone. Just let it go and if anybody asks then tell 'em we're at school camp and you weren't allowed to go 'cause you...cussed out the teacher." Said Ariel with a smirk.

"Fine! But I'mm leaving the last part out." Said E.T a bit loudly.

"Hmm...do you see Christi yet?" said Ariel. She was getting a bit worried.

"Hmmm, not yet. I wonder where she's getting all those rupees to pay for the hotels. Oh god! What if she's turned into a wench!"
