CHAPTER 34

PAW ISLAND HIDEOUT

With a deciphered map and a terrified Tingle, it was time to hit the hay. Unfortunately for them, the hay was miles away.

"Where are we going?" Jack whined. "We've been flying for hours."

"We've only flied a couple feet." Kim said. "You can still see Tingle."

"Why does he charge so much?" Rai said. "It's just a map."

"Tingle is very crazy." Link replied. "And isn't anyone wondering where I told Dojo to go?"

No one spoke.

"Fine." Link said. "I'll tell you anyway. We're headed for Paw Island, my hideout. It's pretty good for me, and maybe we can all fit into it."

"What's it like?" Jack asked. "It better have a wide screen television."

"A what?" Link said.

"Never mind." Jack said.

"Anyway…" Link continued. "It's well guarded because of all the grass. I'm the only one who knows where the entrance is. The only thing is the basement: It's inhabited by Chu Chus"

"Trains?" Omi asked.

"No." Link replied. "Tiny annoying jelly-like monsters."

"That won't be a problem." Clay said. "We're not going to sleep in the basement."

"Look!" Link said. "We're here!"

Above the island, it looked like a paw. That's why it was called Paw Island.

They landed near the center. Link showed them the entrance to the hideout.

"Wow." Clay said. "This is pretty convenient."

"Make yourselves at home." Link said. "We leave as soon as everyone is ready."

"Clay!" Chase shouted from outside. "I need the Changing Chopsticks!"

"Oh." Clay said. "Right."

He slid the Sheng-Gong-Wu through the entrance so Chase could come in.

"It's a bit bare." Jack said.

"You want to see downstairs?" Link said.

"No thanks." Jack answered.

"How about a slumber party?" Kim asked.

"Sounds good to me!" Chase said as he grew large again. "We can tell scary stories, do shadow puppets, and have some of Dojo's famous smores!"

"Don't get too comfortable." Link said. "It's only temporary."

Unfortunately, they did get comfortable. No one got any sleep because they were up all night. Link was sound asleep at precisely 11:00. In the morning at 9:00, link removed his Skull Hammer.

"WAKE UP!" He shouted as he banged the hammer everywhere. "WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!"

Everyone stumbled out of their sleeping bags.

"What's the deal?" Rai asked. "You said when we were all ready."

"I figured that if I waited I would be 67 by the time you woke up." Link replied. "EVERYONE UP AND OUT!"

The gang slowly mounted Dojo when they got outside. Link told Dojo where to go, and they were on their way.

Dear readers,

The slumber party is ruined! But the world comes first, right? Keep reading and reviewing!
