Chapter 3

"Doesn't Ganondorf seem a little...out of it today?"

"As nice as it is to know you aren't holding any grudges against our enemy, please shut up. You've talked about Ganondorf and his out-of-place strangeness all day. It's truly nothing new."

Link frowned at Sheik, who was doing her daily, odd habit of cleaning up the living room before C.Falcon and Saumas come and destroy it with their daily, odd after-lunch battle.

"He's been staring all day."

"People stare to see. Link, it's honestly nothing new. Unless he's been staring at something all day. Chances are, at breakfast, he thought you were staring at him and he's now complaining to Mewtwo that you won't stop."

"But I wasn't staring at him until he did!"

"Link," Sheik said, placing a slender hand on his shoulder. "If it's really bothering you, you should confront him about it. Chances are, he doesn't know a thing about it and you're just fussing over nothing." She returned to her work of reorganizing the throw pillows.

"He's acting weird too."

"Oh, please tell."

"He's been really zoned out. He doesn't act like that."

"Oh really? How would you know, I daresay?" Sheik gave a complementing look that Link couldn't respond to. "If anything, I think you may be hallucinating."

"No, I'm pretty sure Ganondorf didn't respond to Kirby being thrown at the back of his head." Sheik did finally stop and gave Link a contemplating look.

"You know what I think?" she asked. Link shook his head. "I think you're overreacting and trying to get me to talk to him. Nothing is wrong. Just calm down, chill, and put this pillow over on that green sofa over there." Link took the pillow and dropped it, and himself, on the loveseat. When mentally reminded of the alternate name for the furniture, Link sat up.

"Maybe Ganondorf likes someone."

"Yeah, maybe you." Sheik placed a hot pink pillow on all the matching dining chairs that lined the wall. She counted exactly twenty, as she always did, for some strange reason. She was arranging the eighteenth pillow when she realized that Link didn't retort yet. She turned to look at him across the room. On his face was a mixture of utter confusion, realization, surprise, and utter terror. Sheik grabbed the eighteenth pillow, walked over, and whaked Link over the head with it.

"I was kidding. Zelda was right, you are too gullible."

"Huh?" Sheik laughed.

"You're so clueless. Zelda acts like that, too, sometimes. Is that just a Hylian thing? I don't act like that."

"Zelda sometimes acts like that: me?"

"More than you know it, Hero." Sheik handed him the pink pillow. "Put this away. I'm leaving."

"Why?"

"Nevermind that." Sheik left the room through the back door. Link got up and placed the pillow back on it's appropriate chair. He compared it to the others. It leaned too much to the right... He reached forward and corrected it. But there was still something different. It was aligned too differently than the others. Link continued trying to straighten the single cushion when two people jumped into the room.

"You are no real bounty hunter!"

"Do you wish to test that, Captain?"

"Not only test it: I shall prove it! Falcon Kick!" Saumas jumped out of the way just as Falcon slammed into the green loveseat Link was sitting at just moments ago.

"You killed the loveseat, Captain Falcon!" Saumas cried out in mock horror.

"I daresay I did not!"

"Do you wish to test that, Captain?"

"Not only test it; I shall prove it! Falcon Punch!"

Saumas twirled elegantly out of the way.

"You killed the chair, Captain Falcon!

"I daresay I did not!"

Link stood at the door, watching the two ultimatly and utterly destroy the living room. They bounced around, like they were in some kind of erratic dance.

"What are you staring at, elf-boy?" Falcon asked as he grabbed the front of Saumas's suit.

"Uh, nothing?" Link said hesitantly, back slowly out of the room.

"I daresay not!"

"Would you like to prove that..."

Link slipped out of the room and, as he walked down the hall, heard a few more bangs and yells.

Oo
