A/N: Hello, Hello. First, I'm sorry this took me so long, but you know how life can be. I would also like to apologize: I haven't played Majora's Mask in years(and not entirely) so some of the direction and such are what I could look up. Anyways, thank you jesterlover for following this fic. And thank you hero-of-cheese for also following this story. Merry Christmas!
-11lol11- Thank you. :3
"Oh, no, this is very bad," Tael said darting back and forth in the air. "Maybe it's underground?" Tael said.
"It didn't snow that much," Tatl said, "Well, it's not that important, right?" The last word the fairy said sounded uncertain.
"I needed that stone so I could turn back to myself," Kareena said as she sunk to the ground. She looked at the empty snow sadly.
"Maybe someone around here knows the tune it played," Skull Kid suggested. Kareena shrugged, still greatly depressed.
"I think I remember some of it," Tatl said bobbing up and down. The yellow fairy cleared her throat and begun to hum a tune.
Kareena listened for a moment before shaking her head. "That can't be it, that tune is in the wrong key," the deku shrub got up from her sitting position. She crawled to where Tael was floating and begun to dig in the snow.
"I'll help you," Skull Kid said as he knelt beside her and also begun to dig. Kareena nodded her thanks and continued to shovel out the snow until her fingers felt like they were freezing. Her fingers touched something hard. "I think I found it," Skull Kid said. He sent a little fireball to melt the snow.
The frozen water melted and ran down the stone's smooth surface. Kareena sat near it and listened as the stone whistled it tune. Kareena pulled out her lute and strummed the tune. Just to be sure she remembered the previous portions of the tune, she played through the each part. "So we should be heading off to Zora Hall," Kareena said. She stood up and brushed off some of the snow.
"That's a couple days journey away," Skull Kid said.
"Well, if we don't leave now, we'll never get there," Kareena said now feeling a lot more cheerful. She led the way southeast.
"Kareena, wrong way," Skull Kid said pointing in the direct direction.
Kareena laughed and cleared her throat, "I knew that. Why don't you lead the way?" Skull Kid laughed and started to walk toward Zora Hall. He led the way calmly. He faltered as something cold and wet hit him on the back of the head. He turned around to hear both Kareena and Tatl laughing.
Skull Kid rose and eyebrow before he bent down to make a snowball. Kareena tossed another snowball at his head. Skull Kid faltered slightly, but still managed to gather a large snowball. He threw it at her and she fell back laughing.
The deku shrub laid there and began waving her arms and legs up and down in the snow. "What are you doing?" Skull Kid asked walking to her side.
Her eyes stared into his, "I'm making a snow angel." She giggled to herself and sat up. "This is actually the first time I've seen snow," she said smiling larger, "I've been wanting to ask you to stop so we can play in the snow."
"Well, I've never seen snow either. I would love to stop," Skull Kid said. He bent down to gather more snow for another snowball.
Kareena got to her feet quickly and ran away before the snowball struck her in the back and she fell face first into the snow. She pushed herself up and built a wall of snow in front of her. She looked over the wall with a snowball in hand. She threw it at Skull Kid. She giggled to herself as she ducked behind her fort and made more snowballs. She felt another snowball fall on her back. Kareena looked up to see Tael carrying a snowball and let go of it. Kareena finding a new target threw one of the snowballs in her hands at the purple fairy and a second snowball at Skull Kid.
The snowball war eventually ended in a peace talk. Both Skull Kid and Kareena stood shivering. "How about we build a snowman?" Kareena asked. She bent down and started rolling the snow. Skull Kid also begun rolling a snowball. Kareena kept rolling her snowball till it was as tall as she was. Satisfied, she looked to Skull Kid who also had a large snowball. Both of them put the second snowball on the first. They stepped back to admire their work.
"We should keep moving before the sun sets and it gets too cold," Skull Kid said.
"Okay, Skully. Lead the way," Kareena said.
"No snowballs?" Skull Kid asked. Looking at her suspiciously.
"I promise. No snowballs," she said holding her right hand up. Skull Kid led the way and Kareena followed. The pair climbed the mountain swiftly after Tatl suggested they slide down the slippery snow.
Skull Kid continued to lead the way and Kareena followed watching as the climate changed around them. The snow disappeared as they reached the flat ground. The two continued through a forest. The sun was starting to set when they decided to stop for the night. Kareena gathered some fruit while Skull Kid started a fire.
The deku shrub tossed Skull Kid a piece of fruit and he bit into it. Tatl landed on Kareena's shoulder and started to nibble on a small slice of fruit. The group sat silently as they munched on their fruit. Kareena licked the juice on her fingers when she finished the sweet fruit. "I'm so glad that we've almost have the entire song," Kareena said.
"Would your brother be fine until we collect the rest?" Skull Kid asked also finishing his fruit.
Kareena took a deep breath, "the doctor I left him with was to take care of him. Last time I checked up on him, he was okay." She shook her head as the thought of her brother getting worse crossed her mind. "I'm sure he would be fine."
Skull Kid looked back down at his meal, "Sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up. We can visit him if you would like to."
Kareena looked up and sighed, "Like this?" She picked at her leaves. "He will be okay until I return."
"Hey, guys," Tael squeaked. Both Skull Kid and Kareena looked up at the floating fairy. "I just remembered. Isn't Zora Hall underwater?"
