Chapter 6: Close Call
"Ok, now what do we do?" asked Link, looking very irate at Navi.
"Well, first off, you need to climb up that tree to Zelda's window-" Link cut Navi off.
"Always up a tree isn't it? Never ground level."
"I'm glad I have wings."
"Shut up."
Link, wearing all black with the Master Sword strapped to his back, climbed up the tree till he could see right into Zelda's window. Link made several glances around the room to find anything that was glowing. Unfortunately for Link, the only glowing thing in the room was on a necklace around the sleeping Zelda's neck. Link turned to look at Navi who was eye level with Link. "You know what Navi? I think it would be a really good idea if you fly in there, carefully remove the gem from Zelda and bring it to me."
"You know what I think?" asked Navi sounding serious.
"What?"
"I think you're retarded."
Link nearly fell out of the tree as he was swatting at Navi whispering curses under his breath. After Link's fit was over, he quietly climbed into Zelda's room through the window.
"Link, what are you doing here?" asked Zelda.
"Well, uh, you see," replied Link
"Aren't you supposed to be at home?"
"Well, this bug thing is talking to me and it wants me to get that gem off your necklace."
"I love doughnuts."
"Huh?" said Link in astonishment.
"Pssst, Link why are you talking to someone while they're sleeping?" asked Navi, stifling a laugh.
Link gritted his teeth in frustration before he slinked over to Zelda and began to undo her necklace. Link was extremely nervous, and scared of the fact that Zelda might be a light sleeper. Suddenly, Zelda's arms reached up and wrapped around Link's neck and pulled him closer to her, this nearly made Link scream.
"Link, where have you been?" Zelda asked in her sleep.
"In a pile of sh-" Navi cut Link off
"Hurry up Link!"
Link carefully removed Zelda's arms from around his neck and managed to remove the necklace from Zelda's neck. Zelda began to wake up and Link had nothing else to do, but dive under her bed.
"I need a glass of water," moaned Zelda as she got out of bed and left her room.
"Link you moron!" yelled Navi. "Get out from under the Princess's bed and get out here!"
Link crept out from under the Zelda's bed and headed for the window. "Excuse me for not being a good sneak."
"Who's there?" screeched Zelda opening her door.
Link horrified of getting arrested, dove head first out Zelda's window and fell into a bush down below. "Ouch! Next time, you're stealing a necklace Navi!"
"Me? Why me?"
"You stole my necklace?" yelled Zelda from her window. "Daddy, call the cops we have a burglar!"
"Why did you burgle her?" asked Navi intently.
"Because you told me to!"
"She'll understand if you just explain."
"Not now, we have to get out of here, or I'll be explaining in jail. If the cops hear what my story is, I'll be in the nut house for sure!"
Link got up out of the bush and ran as fast as he could, limping all the way. Link managed to get out of town before the police could reach Zelda's house.
"Uh, how do I install this thing?" asked Link sitting in his bedroom.
"You hold it right there like it is in the picture."
"I am."
"Oh, maybe you should pray to the Goddesses."
"Who?"
"What are they teaching you in school? The Goddesses, Din, Nayru and Farore, they are the ones who made the Triforce and that sword."
"How do I pray to them?"
"Do I have to hold your hand when you do anything? Just close your eyes and ask for help."
Link did what Navi told him to do and sure enough, the gem attached itself to the sword. Link and Navi stared at the sword for several minutes until the sword began to glow a brilliant blue, red and green. After a few minutes, the sword stopped glowing and there in Link's hands, was a bright and shining blade. The hilt was a dark blue and the blade was nearly as reflective as a mirror, and sharp enough to split a hair on contact.
"Whoa, this is the Master Sword?" asked Link with a huge grin.
"Yup."
A few days later, Link was on the bus sitting in his usual seat. The only difference today was that Rick hasn't even looked at him. Rick hadn't even moved since Link got on the bus.
"What's your problem?" asked Link.
"Uh, nothing, mind your own business freak!" retorted Rick as he slid in his seat to get farther away from Link.
"Whatever loser," replied Link, making the universal symbol of loser with his thumb and index finger.
Moments later, Link had arrived at school. As he was walking through the front door, he was greeted by Zelda.
"Link, I have some terrible news!"
"W-what might that be?" stuttered Link.
"Somebody snuck into my room and stole my mother's necklace right off my neck!"
"Well, I don't know a thing about that. I hope that the police will find them."
"No you don't," whispered Navi from inside Link's backpack.
"Shut up."
"What was that?" asked Zelda very offended.
"I said the police will shut him up in prison for this."
"Oh, I thought you told me to shut up," replied Zelda, calming her tone of voice. "So, what did you do last night?"
"I, uh…revived the Master Sword and talked to a fire-fly most of the night," replied Link trying to be sarcastic about the fire-fly.
"I told you I was a fairy!" yelled Navi from inside Link's backpack again. This caused people who were walking by to stare at Link in a very odd way.
"What, or who was that?" asked Zelda, trying to look behind Link.
"That…oh don't mind that, it's just some stupid little kid going to the office."
"I'll show you stupid when school is out!" yelled Navi again.
"Are you feeling okay Link?"
"Oh, me? Never better."
"Okay, I'll see you in class. Maybe you can tell me more of this fire-fly after school."
"Okay," replied Link, sounding very embarrassed.
