"Um…no I didn't?" Matt lied. He remembered Red. It was because of that day that his village always looked upon him as a juvenile delinquent.

FLASHBACK (from the manga)

"Help me!" Matt was running away from a mob of angry villagers. He had stolen the Fire Rod and…you know, set a few building on fire. As he was running, there was a boy, garbed in a red tunic, who happened to be in his way. Matt ran up to him for help. This boy happened to be Red.

"Who are you? What is wrong?" Red asked confused.

"I've been mistaken for a thief, help me dude. I didn't steal anything!"

Angry shouts were heard from the mob.

"There he is! You thief!"

"Burning everything on top of stealing!"

Matt hid behind Red as he tried to explain.

"Who are you?" a villager asked irritably.

"Wait a minute! This kid says he didn't steal anything."

"He's obviously lying. Oh come on…"

"I don't think it's good to just accuse people like that. Hey, why won't you try explaining to these people, huh, he's gone?"

When Red turned around to talk to Matt, he was gone. His sword and shield had disappeared as well. That made the villagers angrier.

"Damn, you let him escape!"

"You were probably involved in this too!"

"No I'm not. I'm just a hero traveling to defeat Gufuu," Red tried to explain.

"Hero? There is no hero that doesn't wield a sword!"

"No way!"

"Get him! Give us back what you stole!"

After a while, Matt found himself next to Red, hiding behind a bush.

"For real, those townspeople need to take a break," Matt said.

Matt expected Red to be happy to see him, but…

"You! Gimme back my sword!"

"What are you talking about, I don't know!" Matt didn't know what the hell Red was talking about.

"You liar!"

"Hmph, you're just like those townspeople. You're the one who said it's not good to accuse people like that!" Matt scolded.

"Uh…"

Matt didn't even know Red had a sword. "You never had a sword. It's the truth!"

"You think so? Maybe you're right…I might've dropped it during that rapid stream."

Matt didn't know what he was talking about, but if it got him out of some trouble… "Yeah that's probably it! You'll be fine without that sword. I'll let you borrow this weapon I found. Here." He gave the Fire Rod to Red.

"Really? Wow, thanks a lot. Anyhow, what's this used for…" Red accidentally alerted the villagers by setting some trees on fire.

This is my chance! Matt thought. "Someone! An incendiary! (arsonist)"

"So it really was you! You used that to set the town on fire!" The angry villagers swarmed after Red.

--

The last of what Matt saw was Red running for his life and screaming. Afterwards, the villagers found out he was to blame anyway. Obviously, Red still remembered Matt and that incident. While Matt was having this flashback, Red was explaining what happened.

"And then he said, "Someone! An incendiary!" Then the villagers chased me out!"

"Is that true?" Link's dad asked Matt.

"No…kinda…yes."

"Okay. Red, just to let you know, it doesn't matter if Matt did that, because he's Green's apprentice and not yours."

"Yes!" Another childhood trauma avoided, Red smiled at the thought.

"Okay, did you hear that? Green, you'll mentor Matt," Link's dad said again.

"Got it," Green confirmed.

"Red, you'll mentor Alex. Blue, you'll mentor David. Shadow, you'll mentor Ryan. And Vio, you get the girl."

Jess gave the general a dirty look.

"Okay…it'd be easier if we knew their names, Dad," Blue implied.

"Oh right. Alex is the blonde one, David is the one with the wavy hair, Ryan is the one with fluffy hair, and Jess is the girl."

"What do we do now?" Jess asked.

"I don't know, why don't you show them around and get to know their personalities? Or maybe start training?"

At that training suggestion, Green examined the apprentices. If they ever needed to go against someone like Ganondorf, could they do it?

"Anymore questions?" Link's dad asked impatiently.

Alex raised his hand.

The general sighed. "Ok Alex, what's your question?"

"What's a prostitute?"

We're screwed…Green thought to himself.
