Chapter 12- The Kiss of Death
Disclaimer- I don't own Zelda. I don't own NINTENDO. I do own everything else. So don't use everything else!
After I had stepped into the lighted circle, my feet touched down in a place that looked vaguely familiar. Everyone was here. And we were back at… the courtyard? "Glad to see you made it. But, Why are you completely soaked Joan?" Zelda said. "Slimy battlefield… right Link?" I said. "Yeah, I guess so." Link said.
"Anyway, you got rid of the first of many Dark Seals." Zelda said. "How many are there?" Janet asked. "Five." Zelda replied. "By the way, Link told me about the rip in your outfit. I can't do much about it but I'll try. I also heard about your Triforce piece." Oh yeah! I had forgot about that! That was three chapters ago, wasn't it? "Anyway, I'm not surprised. But take this, it will help with your other dilemma." She said.
Joan received the Hyrulian Dress. This is what Princesses of Hyrule wear. It might come in handy… Equip to Clothes.
"In any case, after that hard of a mission, I think you need some time off, but not too long, because you need to keep going. I suggest going to Lake Hylia. That is the best place for swimming. We'll have to find a way around non-swimmers, but wait, that's where you need to go. But you'll have to be a kid to get there! I suggest going on vacation as a kid, and then going straight from there to the Aqua Tower. Now go! And hurry, Hyrule's fate lies in your hands!" Zelda said. "Yeah, everyone says that." I said.
We then headed to the Temple of Time. We then entered behind where the Door of Time used to be. "We should join hands, I've never done this with more than one person." Link said. "And one fairy!" Navi said. "Lets all sing 'Kum By Yah', guys!" I said sarcastically.
Link did a few grunts and then put the Master Sword into its place. Blue light swarmed around us and then we went back in time.
…
When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was Janet lying next to me. She looked younger than before. I looked younger than before. But I still looked like Zelda. Those things never change, do they? Link went from a teenager to a little kid, about eight years old. Then he pulled out his Ocarina and played a few notes. Lots of sparkles… wait, I know that tune… Anyway, sparkles came and swept us away to Lake Hylia.
…
When we got to Lake Hylia, it was more beautiful than I had imagined. There were Zoras everywhere! And there weren't many people around, so we could have as much fun as we wanted! Janet was about to jump in but Link stopped her. "If you jump in, we'll never find you between all the other Zoras! So whatever you do, DON'T JUMP IN!" Link said. So she just pouted facing away from Link. Then he put on a mask that looked like a Zora's face. In a matter of a few seconds, and with few grunts, Link had become a Zora, and was way taller than any of us. "C'mon." Zora Link said, "We need to find Ruto. She'll know where to vacation, and where to find the Aqua Tower!"
…
We finally got to the room where Princess Ruto was. She was supposed to be doing her hair. She was standing next to a very… erm, obese fish. Was that supposed to be a Zora?
Link was Link again, no mask. He was, human again. "Hey Link. Who's the fat fish?" I whisperly asked.
"That is King Zora. Don't say he's fat or he'll probably sick the entire Zora army on you!" He whispered back. He went up the stairs and approached Princess Ruto. "So? Did my most precious possession help you?" She asked. "Ruto, cut it out! You say that all the time. Every time I talk to you." Link said.
"Don't blame me, blame the people at NINTENDO! So what's up Link?" Ruto said. "Ruto, these are some kids from Earth. They are the descendants of Hyrule's greatest! The Goron is James. He is Daurnia's great-great-great-great grandson! The Zora is Janet. She is your distant granddaughter." Link introduced us. "She looks familiar. So what is Zelda doing here?" Ruto asked.
"Oh, no, no! This is Joan, distant descendant of Zelda, and holder of the Triforce of Wisdom. She is kind of a Princess… I guess." Link said.
"Oh…" she said, then she started to circle Link, "So… whatcha doin' here?"
"Ummm… Zelda sent us here for a break, and then beat the snot out of whoever is in the Aqua Tower. First: do you know where the Aqua Tower is?" Link said.
"And second?" Ruto asked.
"Do you know any good vacation spots?" Link asked. "Maybe, it all depends on what you'll do for me, and maybe I'll tell." Ruto replied.
"Ruto? What do you want?" Link asked impatiently. Than Ruto whispered in his ear something that none of us could make out. When she was done, Link got wide-eyed, and Ruto giggled. "No way! Not if I had to in order to save my life." Link yelled. "Link! Volume!" I said. "Sorry." He said.
"Fine then my lips are sealed!" Ruto said. There was a moment of silence. Then Link opened his mouth to say something but shut his mouth right afterward. They both stood fridged staring at each other. Neither blinked. Finally, Link gave up. "Alright, Fine." He said. I thought he was going to die as he walked over to me. Then he whispered in my ear. I didn't even understand it, it was so soft. "What? I didn't hear that!" I said. He sighed and whispered into my ear: "Joan, I need to borrow your spare dress. Ruto wants me to dress up as you!" "What?" I yelled so loud I must have woke up the entire Zora population, even the ones not in Hyrule. "Ruto, How about if I give you my spare outfit?" I asked. "Nope." She said. Clearly this girl was nice, but stubborn. "Okay. Ruto what if I…" And then I started to whisper into her, ear? Umm… Where her ear was supposed to be. When I was done, she giggled and said, "Alright that'll work. But only if it is a big wet one!" And then she giggled her head off.
When she was done she stared at me and nodded. She was obviously watching so I approached Link. "Link, this is for your own good." I said, then I went up to him and kissed him, right on the lips. Everything stopped, even time for a moment, then I relaxed. I pulled my lips away from his. Then we did the one thing we would do. We spat on the ground, wiping our lips.
"Joan," Link yelled, "What" (Spit) "did you do" (Spit, Wipe) "do that for?" (Spit) Link asked. "I didn't like that" (Spit, Wipe) "anymore than you did!" I replied through the spitting. Meanwhile, James and Ruto were laughing so hard; they fell off the edge of the platform. Janet just stood there watching all of us act like idiots.
Once everyone was done, as in Link and I spitting and Ruto and James laughing, we all gathered behind the throne. That way, no one would fall down off the ledge. "Alright. I'll tell you what you need to know." Ruto said, "But you two look like a great couple!"
