Chapter Three – Whipped Cream?

"You'll do better next year. I'm positive."

Link and Sarah were in her house. Sarah was sitting at the kitchen table, wiping tears from her eyes as Link started to whip up something to eat, literally.

"You don't understand, Link. Next year it'll be too late. I have to have the Ecology Year Three requirement passed by this year before I can even apply to that one college I was telling you about. Link," she said suddenly. "What are you doing?"

For as she finished, Link removed a tub of whipped cream from the fridge. Popping open the lid, he scooped some onto a spoon and ate it. "Still good. And as for your answer, I'm fixing a snack to cheer you up," he replied, smiling.

"And they say I'm weird. I'll be outside. When you're done, tell me." She walked out the screen door to the backyard.

A short while later, Link walked outside carrying two plates and a box. He found Sarah hanging from a tree and tossed her a plate.

Sarah looked down at Link from atop the tree branch, a box of vanilla wafers in her hand. "You know, pie isn't so bad. And these wafer things are just as good."

"I brought them out so we could share," Link grumbled.

She laughed and dropped the box on his head. "It's the Attack of the Killer Wafers from Outer Space!"

"You'll regret those words! The Killer Wafers from Outer Space are not pleased!" he exclaimed as he frisbeed the wafers at the ever-moving Sarah.

"It's the Legion of the Killer Ninja Wafer Throwing Stars!" she yelled.

-

After Link ran out of wafers, Sarah collapsed onto the ground, panting. "Hey, Link, I've got some good news."

Intrigued, Link also stopped. "What?"

"I've got a friend coming to stay for a while."

"Anyone I know?"

"Actually, yes. You've met her before."

"Her?"

"Yes, her. Her name is Zelda."
