Navi and Link looked around curiously.
"Wow." Navi murmured.
"Wow." Link echoed, looking around.
Navi, however, didn't feel at ease. "Link, get out your sword. I have a feeling danger's around the corner."
Link snorted. "Hah! Sure, Navi, sure."
Navi started to fly around wildly. "Link, look out! There's a Deku Baba right behind you!"
Link started to laugh. "A what? Baba? Hehehehe, you didn't think I'd fall for the oldest-"
Bam!
The Deku Baba snapped hungrily at Link's shield. Link's eyes widened in surprise as he whipped out his sword and shield.
"Navi, what do I do?" Link screeched.
"Kill it, obviously! You don't need a IQ of 100 to know that!" Navi screamed.
"How??"
"Slash it with your sword!"
Link closed his eyes and started to hack at thin air. The Deku Baba watched Link, amused.
"It would be a lot easier if your eyes were open, you know!" Navi yelled over the constant swoosh of the sword.
"Oh yeah!" Link opened his eyes and focused on the Deku Baba. For once, he saw the sharp teeth in it's mouth.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
The Deku Baba turned blue and froze.
"What happened?" Link asked.
"It's stunned! Strike it, Link, strike it!"
However dumb Link was, he got the message. Readying his sword, he brought it down fiercely.It cut straight through the Deku Baba,
splitting it in half. The Deku Baba slowly dissolved into thin air and a small deku nut fell to the ground. Link picked it up.
"What's this?"
"The thing that the Great Deku Tree keeps on dropping on me." Navi replied grumpily.
"What do we do now?"
"We go up that ladder," Navi pointed out, floating over to it.
Link clambered up the ladder and stuck his finger in the web.
"Yuck! It's so...sticky!"
"Well, what do you expect? It's a cobweb!"
Navi and Link continued their ascent up the spiraling staircase, thinking completely different thoughts.
Geez, what a stupid partner. Couldn't I just be a nice, normal fairy with a nice, intelligent boy? What did I do to deserve this?
Man, Navi is such a grump. Yeesh, couldn't I just be a nice, normal Kokiri with a nice, intelligent fairy? What did I do to deserve this?
They didn't have long to ponder. They stopped at a door.
"C'mon, Link, let's go in." Navi urged, getting up close to the door. Link shrugged and they headed inside. There was an unlit torch, a flaming one, and three lowered platforms.
"Look, Link, a switch. Press it."
Link got down on his knees and slammed it hard with his palm.
"Owie. That hurt." The platforms started to rise up.
"Quick, Link, let's get going! The switch won't stay down for long!" Navi zipped over to the small chest and waited for Link. Link hopped over two platforms and then jumped for the third one but missed and landed hard on the floor.
"Oh, for crying out loud! Can't you just jump over three stinking platforms???"
The platforms started to lower again. Navi flew down to Link, who was nursing an ankle. Navi noticed some wet drops on the ground near Link. Could it be that...could it be that Link was crying? Navi's voice softened. Maybe I was too hard on him, Navi thought to herself.
"C'mon Link, it's all right." Navi assured him gently. She flew onto his shoulder.
WHAM! Navi was blasted off by mountains of laughter.
"Hahahaha! That was spit you saw, not tears!" Link was practically rolling on the ground with laughter.
"You nasty little inconsiderate boy!" Navi yelled. "I'm not your partner anymore!"
Navi flew off and exited through the door.
"Wow." Navi murmured.
"Wow." Link echoed, looking around.
Navi, however, didn't feel at ease. "Link, get out your sword. I have a feeling danger's around the corner."
Link snorted. "Hah! Sure, Navi, sure."
