"I heard that!" Christi snapped, bursting into the room. "I'm no wench. Have you forgotten how easy it is to get rupees in Hyrule?"

"Why were you so concerned when the idea came to mind, E.T?" Ariel asked slyly, while smirking.

"No reason!" E.T said quickly, though from the sound of his voice the girls could've sworn he would be blushing if they could see him, "I just don't want my friends to be doing stuff like that."

"Uh-huh." Christi wasn't convinced.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night,man. Whatever helps you sleep at night."

"Oh yeah! Then what were you doing?" said E.T sounding cocky.

"Well, if you would shut up then i'll tell you!" said Christi shouting and waving her fist at the ceiling. She reached into a large brown bag she had tied around her shoulder. Then she pulled out something long and skinny and handed it to Ariel.

"Huh? What is it?" She opened it and gasped. It was a long silver sword! The handle was very light and it was in the shape of a dragon.

In the eye sockets were little sapphires.

"Wow.." Ariel breathed, "How did you.. where did you get this?"

"It's a secret.And that's how it'll stay." Christi smiled, " To E.T at least... I might tell you."

"WHAT!" E.T wanted to know where she had gotten the sword.

"Whoa, nice sword!" Link said, jumping off his bed and standing next to the girls to get a closer look

"Yes! And it's all mine." said Ariel grabbing the handle. She walked over to the front of the room and gave the sword a little swing to test it out. It made a little swishing sound as it sliced the air in the room. Ariel walked back over to the two. "Thanks!"

"No prob," smiled Christi then turning over to Link she handed him a Hylian sheild. " This is for you young hero."

"Wow! Why did you get this for me?" said Link grabbing the sheild and looking up to Christi.

"Haha. I bet Ariel knows." She winked at the both of them and again went looking through the bag.

"I wish I didn't.." Ariel joked in reply.

"I love this world and it's ability to hold so many things in such a small bag!" Christi told them as she pulled something else out of the bag. It was wrapped up and the other's couldn't tell what it was.

"And what's that?" Link asked quietly.

"Sustenance... AKA food." Christi unwrapped what looked like a sandwich, "We haven't eaten all day, ya know." At that very moment they heard Link's stomach growl. He blushed a little and smiled a goofy smile. "Grr to you too!" laughed Christi handing Link the first sandwich. Then she took out another and handed it to Ariel.

"Aren't you eating?" said Ariel.

"Me? Well, to tell the truth I don't like sandwiches."

"Well, didn't you bring anything else?"

"Yeah. Some noodles." She pulled them out and began eating too, but stopped at the sound of Links voice.

"Didn't you get yourself a weapon?" said Link, looking worried again.

"Of course I did. I'm not a fool." She said, putting down her noodles and reaching into the bag. She pulled out a long sword made of a lightweight iron and showed them the designed handle. It was a dark red color in the shape of a flame with lighter shades of red as the flame-line twisted around the handle.

"Nice.." Link said, eyeing the line of 'fire'.

"Very."

"I have to admit, you have a good taste in swords."

"E.T, will you ever just go away?"

"Heh. Nope."

"You know, you are being a nuisence." said Christi

coldly.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I've been covering for you since the blackout. I've looked out for you guys and you tell me I'm a nuisence!"

"Yes! All you've done is bitch at us! Why can't you be happy? I've wanted to be here for god knows how long, Ariel is having a hoot and here you are telling us 'You're gonna die, come back, blah freakin' blah! Shit! Do you know any happy emotion!" Christi shouted. Both Ariel and Link looked a little freaked out at her sudden out burst.

"Uhh...Christi, maybe you shouldn't cuss in front of the young eight year old." said Ariel.

"Yeah." said Christi sadly, then she turned back to the ceiling. "Go away E.T, at least until you can show that you're even a little happy."

"Maybe I will! And I'll stop covering up for you two ungrateful little girls to fend for yourselves once you get back. Or maybe they'll set off an Amber alert and let the whole state know that you've disappeared.See if I care!"

"E.T, you don't mean that..." Ariel said quietly.

"And if I do? There's nothing that either of you can do about it! Ugh! Forget you two, always ganging up on me..." E.T trailed off, "I'm out of here."

"She's scary when she's mad." Link noted, taked a bite of his sandwich.

"UGH." Christi groaned, "Stupid E.T... Great, now my food's cold."

"What are we going to do Christi? With no one to cover for us what'll happen! We'll be in big trouble. Plus I highly doubt that anyone will beleive us if we said we were in Hyrule!" said Ariel looking concerned. She looked over to Link who was listening to the whole conversation.

"You guys sound like you're in trouble." said Link while looking over to he both of them.

"Wait! No we're not!" she leaned over so only Ariel could hear her. "We could just ask Link to alter time so that we were back at school the wholetime!" she said cheerfully.

"Would that work?" Ariel asked worriedly, "I mean, it's a completely different world. Do you think he's that strong?"

"Never underestimate the power of a hero. We'll be fine."

"Anything I can do to help?" Link asked, hopeful.

"Yes."

"That is...?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Christi told him, "Now go to sleep."
