This here is my newest story to date! It's based entirely upon an actual event, right down to the last detail (minus all the Zelda references, of course). I was planning something like this a long time ago, but I just now got to writing it, and this isn't even exactly what I planned! Well, this will be kinda a shorty. Not a one-shot, oh no. Not THAT short. Maybe about five chapters or less. Well, let's get started!

Summary: Link has never really liked sports, apart from the occasional sword duel. Unfortunately, the big thing about homecoming in Kokiri High is foot-deku-nut. Because of this, the blonde boy has never participated in Spirit Week, neither in the activities throughout the week nor in the big homecoming game on Friday. However, Goron High, the team Kokiri High is supposed to play in the homecoming game, has turned it into full-scale interracial WAR! Can Link stay out of it, or will Mido and the rest of the foot-deku-nut team draw him into the heat of battle?

Chapter 1: Complications

I don't know who's dumb idea it was to send a forest full of small children to high school, but I blame them for all the bad stuff that's happened to me lately. I mean, with the fires and the bombings… But I guess I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning.

It all started about a month and a half ago. School was just starting. Saria and I were going to be freshmen at Kokiri High. It turned out we were in the same class. School was pretty mundane for a long while. We did our homework and studied together on weekends, praising the Goddesses when the weekend finally came. Then there came Spirit Week.

Spirit Week was what the school called a week comprised of five themed days. Monday was going to be Sports Day, where we all wore the jersey of our favorite big-league team. Tuesday was Pink Day, during which you were supposed to wear some article of pink on one part of your body or another. Wednesday was Pajama Day, the point of which being that you didn't have to get dressed that day. Thursday was Be a Star Day, when you have to dress up like someone famous. Of course, since I'm the Hero of Time, I had it easy that day.

Then there was Kokiri Green Day. The school color was green, so you were supposed to wear lots and lots of green on that day. None of us really had a problem with that, especially not Saria. Friday would be concluded with the homecoming game against Goron High.

When Monday, Sports Day, rolled around, I tucked my scabbard onto my shoulder and went to school. Mido, being on the foot-deku-nut team, was all decked out with his shoulder pads and helmet and jersey and special shoes. Saria remained adamant that music was a kind of sport and brought her ocarina to school. It wasn't really anything special. Saria and I didn't have any homework that night, so we played on our ocarinas in the Lost Woods.

Next came Tuesday, the dreaded Pink Day. There was no way I was going to participate in that. I made absolutely sure that there was no pink on me anywhere before I went to school. Saria kept it simple and put a pink ribbon in her hair. I told her it clashed with her shirt and she said that I was a boy and didn't know anything about fashion so I should shut up. I did. I had a quiz the next day on Hylian history, so Saria helped me study.

Wednesday, Pajama Day, was next. Since I slept in my tunic, it wasn't really much of a special day for me. Mido came to school in his underwear. I thanked the Goddesses repeatedly that he didn't sleep nude. Saria had on a light green nightgown. I completely bombed out on my quiz. I guess I didn't study enough. Maybe if Saria had been helping more as opposed to playing her ocarina the whole damn time, I would have done better. My music teacher warned us that we had a test the next day. At least I was good at ocarina.

Thursday came around and Saria made me laugh by dressing up like Princess Zelda for Be a Star Day. Mido made me laugh even more, because he came to school as one of the Goddesses. People told me all day that I looked exactly like the Hero of Time. I got so sick of hearing it. I passed my test with flying colors. Saria went on and on about how proud she was. I rolled my eyes and told her that it wasn't because of her that I passed my test. This upset her, so I bought her some fairy orbs. They weren't in season, so now I'm broke.

Then came the fated Friday, Kokiri Green Day. I put on my same old green tunic. There was supposed to be a pep rally that would take the place of last period. While I wasn't too fond of pep rallies, the idea of getting out of Hylian history for a day more than compensated.

Saria and I walked into the building and were headed for class when Mido ran up to us. Well, he was probably running up to Saria since I was more or less the most hated guy in school. "Saria!" he panted, out of breath. "It's horrible! Goron High vandalized our entire field as well as the sign and the school bell!"

Imagine my shock. Mido actually knew what the word 'vandalize' meant!

Saria turned to me. "Link, can you believe it?" she said, interrupting my thoughts. "Goron High painted everything red last night! All of it! Red!"

"This is war!" Mido announced. And that's how it all started...

This chapter was terrible, but necessary. It'll get better, believe me. I'm open to ideas! I know I said this is based strictly upon real events, but I didn't exactly get the entire story myself. I know, I know... "Get your facts straight before you go telling stories about it." But you can't argue that this is a (semi) nice story! And it will get soooooooo much better! Besides, it's fiction! FanFICTION!

Like I said, some ideas would be great. Not too many; remember that I'm keeping this one short. And any kind of review would be great as well! I kinda expect a few flames for this chapter, since it was so boring and short and relatively pointless... Well, any review is a good review! Ideas, flames, criticism, etc., please!
