HAHAHA! Chapter 6! Looks like I'll have to change my writing style to keep
this interesting...

"So this is your pendent?"
"Yes. What's more, I want it back."
"What about my pendent?"
"That's right here." The purple-haired kid pulled out the Pendent of Hearing from the inside of his shirt-which happened to be way too big for him.
"So now what?" The blonde mentally scolded himself for asking such a dumb question.
"We exchange pendants." The boy, at least Quatre thought it was a boy, gave the Pendent of Hearing to Link, who took the Pendent of Memories (for that is what it's called) from Quatre and made the exchange. "There." The boy nodded his head in approval; the ex-gundam pilot had no idea what he was approving. Looking pleased- it was hard to tell considering he had a bright yellow mask on his face- the boy turned and with an air of great importance, marched back across the bridge and into the house.
"Well, THAT was certainly interesting." Quatre murmured as he put on his magical relic. Immediately Links "SQEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK!" became an understandable "YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!" I've missed this thing. The blonde fingered the precious pendent. No more stupid mistakes, he thought resolutely. "So..." He glanced at Link. "Now what?" The deku fell over right into the pool from the shock. He would have drowned had not Quatre reached down and hauled him back out.
"What IS it with you and stupid questions?"
"Dunno. Never had this problem back in my world."
"Really? Maybe people are just stupider in your world." The deku bolted into South Clock Town with Quatre glaring holes into his retreating back.
By the time the two stood before the tower it was exactly midnight. Fire works went off, though none could compare to the Gundam battles on the TV series, and the door to the clock tower opened.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"What the heck?" The duo looked up to see a person flying over the horizon.
"Kids- never try that at home."
"Who are you talking to?"
"No one..." So after lots of fireworky fun, the two had to figure out how to get up to the tower. After some debate, they decided there was only one solution. They would have to tear up the tent in the middle of the square and build a ramp. Unfortunately it didn't occur to them that there was a little ramp to the right of the doorway...
"Why me???" Link moaned dismally as he collapsed. They had resorted to using his spin technique to take down the pole holding up the tent since it wouldn't just lift out of the ground. As a result, Links hat was torn almost to shreds.
"I've asked myself that question so many times and you know what?" Link blinked away the stars spinning around in his vision and looked up.
"What?"
"I haven't gotten an answer yet."
"Aw, elf!" With that, the deku collapsed, leaving Quatre to finish up the ramp.
The boy had to use all his weight to balance the poll and bring it over to lean with the rest on the platform. Wufie should be here right now... This moving would be cake for him. Especially after insisting... he could lift... a thousand pounds... This is ridiculous. The boy mopped his brow with a graying sleeve. Hot and sweaty, all he wanted was a nice bath and some soap.
"Hey, Link. It's done." The poles had been woven together with strips they had torn from the cloth that had been used to shade the southern most part of town. The two rubbed their hands and paws together and started the ascent. As soon as the deku reached the top and disembarked, the entire structure fell apart and downward- pulling Quatre with it. He landed with a thud that sent shock waves coursing through his entire body and had to remain still for a moment before he felt stable enough to rise. Stable or not, frustration was not a minor feeling and it racked his gut. He would have thrown a tantrum right then and there; the feeling was so overwhelming, had not a squeak from above turned his attention elsewhere. Standing triumphantly, the scrub pointed to... Something otherwise invisible to Quatre form where he stood. When he walked up the ramp that made up part of the street, he found one that was much smaller leading up to the platform. He could have kicked himself. And he did.
"Now we figure it out." With out another thought, he climbed the ramp and followed the deku up into the tower.
From somewhere atop the wall that separated the civilized within the town from the chaos without, a tall figure stood against the starry night. As soon as Quatre and Link vanished within the doorway to the top of the tower, Dorothy burst into hysterics and nearly fell from the wall.
"Are you trying to kill yourself?" A shadow rose up beside her.
"Shut up Dark!" Slowly she managed to regain herself, enough at least to stand up straight. "I wonder what they'll do next?"
"Bloody conspirators..."
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"Now what?" Yes, even ex-gundam pilots who act like they are more enlightened than Buddha get edgy after spending three whole days running around like madmen in a medieval town full of elves, bush people, attack dogs and hyperactive ten year olds who belong to gangs. And all of this in the middle of summer without so much as a decent bath and a bar of soap. Link was used to running all over creation (seriously- he stomps on dandelions and goes cow tipping in his free time) without so much as a quick dip in a river. With all this being completely beside the point...
"Link!!!" Tatl threw her little glowing body against the wall of glass that separated her and her newly found residence. A hideous little imp wearing an evil looking heart-shaped mask wove the jar around laughing madly. Link frowned. Well, that explained why he hadn't seen her since, how many days ago now? He couldn't remember without expending more brainpower than he could afford to lose. Well isn't this an interesting predicament?
"Let sis go!" A little purple fairy flew at the imp, only to be knocked to the ground where it lay in a daze. Curious, Quatre bent down and clapped his hands loudly next to the fairy's ear.
"Hey! Cut that out!" The enraged glow bug sprang from the ground and flew in circles 'round Quatre's head.
"Ugh..." Now it was the blonde's turn to collapse. Link sighed. Well there was only one thing left to do. Taking a deep breath, the deku blew a giant bubble through his nose and let go. The bubble sped towards the imp like a balloon you decide to let the air out of. The imp had been preoccupied shacking the bottle it had caught Tatl in to notice the flying inflated spittle head home. Until it was too late.
The imp flew backwards, the air knocked out of it. The bottle fell to the ground, fairy and all and exploded on impact. Tatl went careening off the side of the tower and it took a moment before she was able to fly in a straight line without smashing into anything. Amidst all this confusion, Link went dashing to where something else had fallen from the stunned skull kid. Bending down, he picked up a marble sky-blue ocarina. Link had finally found the Ocarina of Time!
/Link.../
/Who's there?/
/It's me... Zelda./ The image before him became strikingly clear. There stood the crown heir to Hyrule. She smiled, and handed him the ocarina.
/I know you're going away, perhaps for a very long time. So I want you to take this with you. /
/Your ocarina? But Zelda, why? You sleep with this at night! /
/I know. But, / She hugged it closely for a moment before thrusting at him. /I think you're going to need something to sleep with. That is, until you have me back! / She smiled at him sweetly. Link had no idea what she was talking about. /Besides, this ocarina is magical, remember? / How could he forget? It saved his live only half a million times when he was freeing Hyrule from Ganandorf's evil forces of darkness. Actually, once he had returned it to Zelda he had begun to miss it. It was kind of comforting having the thing around. He looked up and realized Zelda was babbling about the past. /And oh! You looked so handsome standing there, holding the master sword, all covered in blood! / Ok, so maybe ha didn't want to know what she was thinking about.
/Erhm. /
/Hmm? /
/You have anything else relevant to say? /
/No./
/Okay then. / And with that, the boy without a fairy went in search of his friend. On the way, he pulled out the ocarina from the front of his tunic and held it up to his face, letting Epona lead the way. It smelled strongly of Zelda's perfume.
"Yo! Wake up!" Tael, the purple fairy, hovered in front of Link's face. "Don't just stand there! DO something!" The deku nodded and pulled out... a deku equivalent of bag pipes? The imp shrieked in furry, Quatre rose an eyebrow, now questioning Link's sanity and both Tatl and Tael practically fell out of the air. Ignoring them all, Link played the Song of Time.
The mysterious notes filled the air and voices vibrated down from the heavens. The voices sang in unison with the notes. The next thing he knew, Quatre was falling through a blank sky with the deku. When he came to, he was staring at absolutely nothing in particular. It was then he noticed the little red mailbox some ways to his left.
FINALLY! Now we can get on with the rest of the game. That took so long... Things are gonna get a little more interesting from here on out, so hold your breath! More Gundam people to meet, more havoc to reek and Quatre gets his bubble bath!
Quatre: Yeah! ^_^
So review please!
