XXI. YOUNG LINK'S DISCOVERY

Young Link was facing Marth is the arena. The other smashers were cheering his name. Win this and I'm in the quarterfinals! Link thought. All of a sudden, a Poison Mushroom dropped on his head.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he cried, as he shrunk down to the size of a tomato. "ACK!" Young Link shrieked in a voice that made him sound like Alvin the Chipmunk. A looming Marth stood over the shrunken Kokiri.

"Hate to do this but…" Marth said as he bent over "Say goodbye." And with his left hand, Marth flicked Link out of the arena.

"WAAAHHH! NOOO!" Young Link cried as we awoke. Link gave a sigh of relief. "Ah, just a dream." He reached to his nightstand only to find an empty bottle. "Darn, outta milk. Guess I'll have to go down to the kitchen to get more. I hope they have Lon Lon. It's my favourite." Young Link didn't really want to venture out into the hotel in the dead of night, but he couldn't go back to bed without some milk. He got out of his bed, slid his slippers on and crept out into the dark. It was hard to walk through the halls and Link kept bumping into walls. He finally made it to the elevators. He pressed the down button and before long the elevator had arrived. Link got in and pressed the lobby button. It was chilly in the elevator, especially with Link wearing his pyjamas. The elevator stopped, but not at the ground floor. The number above the doors said "1". The doors whooshed open and there, in front of Link, was Ganondorf… Ganondorf in purple pinstriped pyjamas and pink bunny slippers. "AH!" Link shrieked at the sight of the King of Darkness. Ganondorf was surprised too.

"Isn't it past your bedtime, brat?" He said, menacingly.

"What's it to you?" Link said, trembling. Ganondorf sneered.

"Don't worry, I wont hurt you." Ganondorf said, entering the elevator. Young Link edged away. Ganondorf was whistling and staring at the ceiling.

"…Bunny slippers, eh?" Young Link said.

"Shut up. Gift from Nabouroo."

"Suuure."

"You know, I CAN kill you now if you want."

"No, no. I'm good." There was a brief silence.

"Say, what smells like oranges?" Asked Ganondorf, sniffing the air.

"That'd be my hair. My shampoo has orange extract in it."

"Right…" The elevator stopped at the ground floor. "Don't follow me." Ganondorf said, as he left the elevator and disappeared in the dark. Young Link didn't want to follow him anyways. But then, Link remembered what Kirby had told Adult Link.

He's up to no good. Thought Link. He headed for the kitchen, where Kirby said he saw Ganondorf. As he neared kitchen, Link made sure to not make a single noise. Slowly tip-toeing across the floor, Link listened closely.

"Well, today went smoothly." Gerald said.

"Are you kidding me?" Ganondorf said "Link with friggin Jigglypuff!"

"Hey, you want him to win this don't you? We're just making sure he does." Ronald said.

"Well, you're being a little obvious about it. And to think, he's fighting Ness next. Are you two f!&ing retarded?"

"Well… if he wins that battle, which I'm sure he will, he'll either be fighting Young Link or Marth. Is that better?"

"I suppose."

What in Din's name do they have planned? Link thought.

"Hey," Ganondorf said, "what smells like oranges?"

Ohh, shit.

"Kirby ate the last of the oranges yesterday." Gerald said. Ganondorf growled. He sniffed the air, and followed its scent right to Young Link, who was hiding behind a counter. Ganondorf grabbed Link by the cuff of his neck and lifted him high in the air.

"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NOT TO FOLLOW ME." He shouted, outraged.

"I-I-I-I d-didn't kn-kn-know you'd b-be in th-the kitchen". Link said, utterly terrified.

"YOU LIAR!" Ganon shook Link.

"I-I s-s-swear! I w-was getting m-m-milk!"

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GANONDORF, YOU'RE SCARING THE SHIT OUT OF HIM!" Ronald yelled.

"PUT THAT CHILD DOWN NOW!" Commanded Gerald. Ganondorf growled, then dropped Link on the floor, who was now crying.

"P-p-please don't kill me." He said as tears streamed down his face.

"Good god Ganondorf." Ronald said as he kneeled down to comfort Link. "Ger, get this lad some Lon Lon Milk."

"W-what are you going t-to do with Link?" Young Link asked, still trembling.

"Nothing."

"I'm going to tell Zelda about this." Young Link said.

"Oh no you're not."

"Yes! Yes I am! And you can't stop me!"

"Here, take this." Gerald shoved a bottle of milk in Link's face, forcing him to drink it. His body went limp and he collapsed in Ronald's arms.

"What the hell did you do to him?"

"Spiked his milk with a sedative. Hopefully he'll wake up in the morning thinking this was a dream."

"Fine, take him to his room." Gerald took the unconscious boy up the elevator and into his hotel room. He gently placed him on his bed and neatly pulled the covers over him.

"We'll be watching you." He whispered.

Aw, i feel so bad for Young Link. well, i hope you enjoyed that. please, keep those reviews coming!
