Michi: Kay, first off, I would thank the very kind people that have reviewed my story and liked it. And secondly, I just want to warn you that I might get a bit lazy, but I will try my best to keep it as detailed as the last chapter. Well, I hope you enjoy this one!

Ugh...what happened?

I grabbed my head as soon as that thought came to mind. I opened my eyes slowly and started to sit up, still holding my head. I look at my surroundings and everything was all strange to me since I didn't know where I was. There were lots of houses made of giant tree trunks, and lots of children hanging around. One of the houses near the pond like thingy that has square-like stepping stones, has a small roof that you usually see on front porches, with a blonde haired girl sitting on it. Then on my right, a bit above me, was a wooden bridge like thingy that connected from a house to a thingy that rose above the ground then to another one of those, with another blonde girl looking over the place.

She spotted me and yelled, "Saria! She's awake!"

Suddenly, a girl in a green sweater, green skirt, brown leather boots, blue eyes, and green hair held back in a green headband, came running out of the house that the wooden bridge-like thingy was connected to. She came up to me and kneeled down.

"Are you alright?" she asked me as she felt my forehead.

"Huh?" I asked as I stumbled getting up.

"Careful!" She said quickly as she helped me up.

"Thanks..." I said quietly. I didn't really need the help, though...

"Don't mention it. My name's Saria, and it's my pleasure to help newborn Kokoris!" she said with a smile.

"Huh? What are 'Kokoris'?" I asked her. I've never heard of such a word...

"You don't know what a Kokori is!" She asked kinda shocked. "You mean the Great Deku Tree hasn't told you!"

"Huh? What's a 'Great Deku Tree'?" I ask. "And why do you 'Kokoris' wear SOOO much green? I mean, everybody here is wearing that color..."

Saria looked at me as if I were from outer space or something.

"The Great Deku Tree is our protector! Without him, we wouldn't be here today!" she said quickly. She then started rushing me over to the pond where we jumped the stepping-stones, and where we got to a passageway-like thingy that had a boy wearing an olive colored hat, had shaggy dirty blonde hair that covered his eyes, and wearing brown boots, and wearing a green dress.

A green dress...? Why is a boy wearing a green dress? Is he a queer or something? And WHY does he have to wear green too! I HATE green!

"HALT! No one's allowed to see the Great Deku Tree! Especially somebody that I don't even know!" the boy said, as he put his hand up to my face.

What the? How rude can he be! I bet he's just a little wuss too!

Saria gently pushed me aside and started telling him something about a new Kokori.

She turned back towards me and said, "We can go now, so just follow me. Okay?"

I nod, and we started going into the entrance thingy. We walked for a couple of minutes before making it to a clearing of fresh grass and a giant tree that appeared to have the face of an old geezer. I suppose that's the Great Deku Tree...

I followed Saria as she went to the middle of the clearing, and close, and in front of, the Great Deku Tree. She sat down on the grass and I did the same, I didn't like being the Outcast... Oh, well. But when I finally got all relaxed and stuff, some boy ALSO wearing a green dress, brown boots, an even longer green hat, but matched his dress, blonde hair with long bangs, and baby blue eyes, came running up to us. Saria got up, but since I was too lazy, I stayed on the grass, but listened to their conversation.

"Hey! How'd you get pass Mido?" she asked. I guess that's the idiotic guard kid's name.

"He was sulking in a corner. He didn't even see me come in here!" the boy laughed. They both laughed a little bit more, but soon stopped, continuing on with whatever they were talking about... Link looked over towards me and asked, "Who's she?"

How dare he! I hate being talked about when I'm right in front of them!

"Oh, she's a new Kokori. She hasn't even been given a name yet by the Great Deku Tree, let alone even know what she is!" Saria said, as she soon got back to talking about other nonsense.

Man, not Saria, too! Why does she have to say it as if I wasn't right here? I look away from them, and gaze up at the giant tree thingy. And for some reason, he seemed as though he was going to speak, so I looked back at Saria and the queer and ushered them to be quiet, looking back at the tree.

We waited the silently for a moment or so, before the tree's eye thingies open, and mouth moved a bit. Then it yawned, and looked over to the 2 and then down at me.

"And who might thee be?" the tree asked in a deep voice.

Saria looked up towards the tree and said, "She's the new Kokori, Great Deku Tree."

The tree had a sorta confused face as he said, "New Kokori? Thou haven't a new Kokori since Fred 5 years ago. Is thy correct with thou fact?"

Saria looked at me, and then back at the tree that can't speak proper English. "Yes, Great Deku Tree, I'm most certain that she's a new Kokori, since she was found unconscious next to my house, and is also a child with Kokori clothes."

The tree looked as though he was thinking too hard. "Thee could've created thy self-consciously...Alright then, Thee believes that thy are though Kokori. And thy name shall be-"

"Michelle." I interrupt him, before he named me a stupid name like Frederica, or something as stupid.

Everyone looked at me strangely. One, for talking, and two, for interrupting the tree.

"Very well, thy name shall be Michelle. Saria, thy shall tell Michelle of everything she needs to know."

Saria got up, as well as me doing the same, and said, "Good bye, Great Deku Tree."

Is it just me, or is Saria crying?

We start to leave quickly, along with me hearing the tree say the name, which I suppose is the queer's name, Link.

We're in Saria's house now as she's telling me about what Kokoris are, what that tree really was, and other boring stuff.

"...Did you get all of that, Michelle?"

"Huh?" I asked startled. Making me get a stare from her. "Oh! Kokoris are kids forever, lucky little bums, the tree is the guardian of this forest we're in now, and Hyrule is a home to many different races; Hylian, Zoras, Kokoris, Gerudos, and Gorons."

"Good, now those are only the basics! We have a LOT more for you to learn!" she said enthusiastically.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I scream out as loud as everyone in all of Hyrule can hear.

Saria had FINALLY finished telling me EVERYTHING that I mainly didn't know...Even on how Gerudos mate, since they're all female thieves. One, that's disgusting, two, how does she know that if she's only just a kid?

"Well, I guess that covers all of the things you need to know!" the blabber-mouth said as she got up onto her feet. I get up as well, doing a stretch. "So how about we go visit Link, before he goes off?"

"Goes off? To where? I thought you said Kokoris can't leave the forest. That they need the protection of the tree and the magic of the forest!" I said, totally confused. I mean, the only places here you can go are the Lost Woods, but only Saria knows the correct path, some place where the Deku sword is, to the tree, and around the village.

"Well, he's just special that way...The Great Deku Tree made him so that he's able to leave the forest and go all over Hyrule!" she said rather quickly as she soon left her home...um, more like a room than a home though...

I soon followed her to a place where there was a wooden bridge thing that hung over a really high up place...we must've been over 30 feet high!

Curse you heights! 'Curse you'? I know I heard that phrase somewhere before...but where...?

Me and Saria were waiting there...high off the ground, waiting for the queer to come. It took about at least half-an-hour before he finally showed up, but I still felt the same as when I first arrived here...scared half-to-death! And judging the blabber-mouth's depressed mood that she had since she left her home, that she felt just the same as before too.

"Saria, Michelle? What are you two doing here?" the queer asked as I shrugged, and Saria took a step forward, making him take a step back.

"Um...well..."

"FINALLY! The blabber-mouth can't think of anything to say!" I laughed, forgetting about the height problem...but uh, soon realized it again...

"SHUT UP!" Saria yelled towards my direction. She turned back towards Link and handed him a wooden thing with holes.

Huh? That looks familiar...Is it some sort of instrument...?

Well, my answer was said when Saria noticed Link's confused face as he inspected the thing.

"It's an Ocarina!" she smiled. "Don't worry about not knowing how to use it, I wrote down these easy-to-follow instructions for you to learn how to use it! You'll be playing it like a pro in no time!" She handed him 30 pieces of paper with some sort of writing that I've never seen before...well, there ARE over a gazillion languages and writing styles and stuff that I've never seen/heard before...

"Well, I guess that's all you need before you leave..." Saria said. The queer had a sad face on, when Saria surprised him by giving him a big hug. "Good luck..."

They ended the hug after what seemed to be a weird moment for the queer. When the queer got back to his normal, queery self, he started walking off from us and to the other safe side of the...high...bridge.

"Wait!" I yell as I lunge forward towards the queer, grabbing him by his waist, making him blush. "Don't leave me alone with this blabber-mouth! PLEASE!"

It was sorta embarrassing, but...I couldn't stand being alone with blabber-mouth again! I don't think I can live through another one of her long, boring, and endless lectures...

"Uh...okay." the queer said, still blushing, even though I got off him as he said 'okay'.

"YES!" I cheered, jumping up into the air. We start walking off, abandoning blabber-mouth on the bridge, all alone, when we hear her say behind us...

"Come back again some time! I'll teach you a song!"

Those were the last words we heard her say, before we came to a blinding light at the end of the small tunnel like thing.

"And whoo might youu bee?" we heard a voice above us say.

Michi: SO sorry for not updating sooner! I kept holding it off because of some minor things! So, I just hoped you enjoyed this one! Oh, and in this story, Saria already knows that she's the Sage of the Forest, and is 139 years old...soon to be 140. My mom's 40, I just want MORE of the world to know that! lol Well, see ya!
