Yeah! Chapter seven! 'Bout time too...
Sheik: Yeah, you're tellin' me. It's tough being a muse.
Narrator: I like my job! ^_^
Sheik: -_-*
Blonde boy: Hey, did we forget the disclaimer for that last chapter?
Blonde Elf: I think we did. In that case (disclaimer)!
Blonde Boy: (disclaimer)
Blonde Elf: Now you can be doubly certain we don't own Zelda!
Me: If I did, I'd change the graphics for Ocarina of Time remade for Gamecube. I saw those graphics and I was so disappointed...
All: Now READ!
Whose big idea of a joke was this? Quatre wanted to know as he watched the same blue-haired kid put a letter in the mailbox next to him. This just wasn't funny! Okay, joke over, can I go home now? Guess not...
"Hey- stop drifting!" The boy looked up to see Tatl floating right in front of his face.
"Ghaaaaa!"
"Yeah, serves you right! Ya wanna go home dontcha? Well, come on!" Irritated, the little yellow fairy turned and flew back to Link who squeaked Quatre a happy "Hello!" when he caught up.
"So now what?"
"Let's go talk to that mask guy." Tatl put in. The thought made Quatre queasy.
"The guy in there?" He pointed to the front door to the inside of the clock tower. Link bobbed his little deku head.
"Yep!"
"Aw man..." Sighing he followed them inside.
Once again, the inside of the Clock Tower was dark, gloomy and no less wet than it had been last time, though Quatre had been less concerned about that then. Now he shivered. The Happy Mask Salesman greeted them, his ridiculously huge smile spread across his face. Quatre doubted that smile could get through a doorway if it tried...
"Ah... It appears you've found that which you lost." Now how much sense did that make? The guy continued despite Quatre's critical looks. "Now, I'm going to teach you a song."
"What?" Now both Quatre and Link thought he was off his rocker for sure. "We passed through all that and now you're going to teach us a song???"
"Yes, now be quiet and listen." Before either could reject, a giant pipe organ appeared against the wall. Both sweatdropped. First of all, what good was a song going to do them? Even more importantly- where the heck had the guy gotten the pipe organ and how had he been carrying it??? The thing was huge! Ignoring the fact that the Link looked like he was about to turn around and march right back out side and Quatre wanted to call his lawyer, the guy began playing his song. It was kind of, well interesting, Quatre decided. It was by no means a masterpiece, but it was interesting. Then the salesman looked at Link who had done nothing but whisper to Tatl about what a nut he thought the guy was.
"Hey! You're supposed to play it back!"
"Huh?" Link blinked stupidly. The salesman looked agitated.
"Fine, I'll play it again. When I'm done you're supposed to play it back."
"Okay." Turning the salesman cracked his knuckles- a sound that made Quatre shiver- and played the tune again. When he turned, Link had fallen asleep.
"Hey!!!"
"Now what?"
"Play the tune!"
"What tune?" The Happy Mask Salesman looked like he was about to explode. Taking out duct tape from his giant mutant bag full of stuff he probably smuggled in from other countries, he taped Link to the pipe organ. He also taped his eyes open. "Ugh!"
"Now, PAY ATTENTION!"
"... Fine..." So the moron in purple tights played the song again, only to find that Link had fallen asleep with his eyes open.
"... Here! You play it!" He grabbed the Ocarina of Time from Link and shoved it into Quatre's hands.
"But... but-"
"Just play it!" Quatre sighed and lifted up the ocarina- except it wasn't an ocarina anymore. It was now a violin.
"What just happened?" He blinked confused and the guy in purple was about to tear his hair from his head.
"Will you pa-lease just play the song?!?!" So the boy tucked the ocarina/violin under his chin and played the song. It came easily and he felt a little better when he was done. The guy congratulated him and turned to see what had happened to Link. Quatre blinked in surprise. Hanging upside down from the pipe organ was an elf with blonde puffy hair and a green tunic (I wonder who that is?). For now, he was sleeping soundly.
"You BUM! Wake up!" Tatl flew up and down and around his head. Turning slightly, he muttered, "Navi... **grumble, grumble** go bother Mido... I don't wanna wake up... Where's my coffee? I'm gonna **mumble, mumble** Ganon if he touches her..." Down to her last straw, Tatl took the violin from Quatre and smashed it over Links head before taking his sword and cutting him loose.
"Ganon, yer askin' fer a whoopin- AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" And with that Link landed on his head. Quatre blinked again then turned to the guy with the magical weightless pipe organ.
"Um, thanks for the song." The mask man shrugged.
"I just want my mask back." Then he turned on Link who naturally, had not yet obtained the Majora's Mask. From somewhere in the field, Dorothy was walking along the top of a wall and the shadow walked on the ground just beneath her.
"Ha! I wonder what kind of trouble everyone else has gotten into? I'm not nearly so unlucky-" Just as she finished, a minor earthquake spread from Clock Town and sent her flying over the other side of the wall, straight into a pile of cow manuer. Immediately, the shadow doubled over in a laughing fit. This is too good to be true, he thought. This is great!
When the party left the Clock Tower, they were pale as ghosts. The mask man was really scary. Even Tatl had taken refuge in Link's hat while Tael hid in Quatre's front pocket. The minor tremor had been a result of the salesman's temper tantrum, and it had caused the tower in the process of being built by the carpenters to collapse. The guards had been called off duty to help put it back up. In the mean time, the Quartet made their escape. The evil mutt barked loudly after them, thankfully no one noticed.
"So what's that mask the salesman wants so badly?" Quatre looked at Link curiously. It was strange talking to him now that he wasn't a walking bush. The elf frowned, trying to sort his thoughts.
"Well, basically, it's magic, it's evil and I owe that guy a favor. For teaching us that song that is." Link frowned again. "I just wish I had a clearer notion as to what that thing can actually do. I know it change peoples appearances, but what else?"
"I-I know what it can do." Both boys stopped to see Teal shivering in the air. "It's, it's like a, it's like a..." He couldn't finish. Instead he started to cry. His sister was by his side in an instant.
"Don't stand there staring! It's rude! It's okay Tael. What is it?" The little purple fairy whispered something to the yellow fairy. In the end Tatl sighed.
"He's not making a lot of sense, but he said we have to go in the four directions. Sound's like that little creep's been keeping busy. Hmm." She eyed Quatre carefully. "Hey, how 'bout you and Tael be partners? Well, waddaya think?" Quatre and Link exchanged looks.
"What do you mean by partners?"
"You know, partners. He follows you around and helps you and stuff."
"Um, okay." "The only question remaining is, is he any help?" That comment earned Link a brutal smack over the head with a heavy branch.
"Good!" With a reassuring push from his sister, Tael floated over to Quatre. "Now that that's settled let's go to the swamp in the south! That's the closest Compass direction." So they went to the swamp- and found a reeking stink bomb awaiting them.
This is going so slowly, I know it. When I'm feeling in a better mood, I'll make the chapters longer. Right now, I have (ugh) math homework! And History! And TESTS!!! ARGH!
Sheik: So review! She will make this better if you tell her what her weak points are! She won't listen to me any more!
Sheik: Yeah, you're tellin' me. It's tough being a muse.
