Navi was twitching almost constantly, the bump on her head growing sore.

"You didn't have to do that, you know." Navi grumbled, flying along with Link as they continued their ascent. Link shrugged.

"It was the only way to get you out. You did want to get out, didn't you?" Link asked innocently, grinning.
Link had fired the Deku Seeds dangerously close to Navi, and his aim...was...rather poor, and some of the Deku Seeds had slammed into Navi herself. Although Navi managed to get untangled, Link had left quite a few bumps on her head.

"Great...first the Great Deku Tree, then you...I don't know which hurts more, a Deku Nut, or a Deku Seed." Navi muttered under her breath.

"Care to experiment?" Link said, grinning once more.

"Don't you dare," Navi's voice was barely above a whisper. They were silent again for a little bit again.

"By the way..." Navi said slowly, "-how did you get the slingshot?"

Link thought about it for a moment. "I found it in a chest. I got stuck inside and got locked in but I kicked it open. Then I heard some clicking and some muttering from grumpy old you, and then I came and rescued you."

"Spare me," Navi murmured. Link twirled his slingshot and threw it in the air. The slingshot twisted and turned, and it would've looked pretty cool if he had caught it. It flipped and started to go over the edge of the stairway.

"Oh no!" Navi cried out. "Catch it, Link!"

Link made a desperate grab, and jumped for it. Link's fingers curled over the slingshot tightly, but the fact still remained that he was in the air.

"Nooo!!! Help me! I'm falling! Naviiiii!!!!"

As much as Navi wanted to just let Link fall, she couldn't-the boy had saved her life. Rather stupidly and had been bragging about it, but he had saved her. Navi grumbled and flew over to Link.

"How can I save you? I can't carry you because you've been eating so much chicken lately, and you can see that." Indeed, Link's stomach was bulging.

"Navi!" Link whined. "Help me!"

They were falling, falling, falling into...a spiderweb on the ground???

Maybe it was a good idea Link ate so much chicken, Navi thought, we'll need his weight.

Whap.

They had broken through the web in the ground, and Link was screaming.

"I want my Mido!" Link yelled as they continued to fall.

"Isn't it, "I want my mommy?" Navi corrected.

"Oh yeah. I want my mommy!" Link cried.

They fell and splashed into a small pool of water. Link flailed wildly for a few moments.

"I'm drowning!" he gurgled as he sank through the water.

"Link, you can get up. You're just sinking down on your knees." Navi said dully. Link got up, embarrased.

"Yeah, I knew that. Just trying to fool you."

Navi didn't bother to correct him this time. "C'mon," she urged, "I can smell evil real close."

Link nodded, and they got out of the water. There was another Deku Baba up close.

Then followed up another scream, and some Deku Seeds falling to the ground after the Deku Baba was defeated. They entered a door with three Deku Scrubs waiting.

Bang. A Deku Nut went spiraling and slammed straight into Link. A lump the size of a Kokiri's fist was growing on his head.

"Who did that?" Link growled, looking around.

"I did!" all three Deku Scrubs said proudly in unison.

"No, you dolt, I did!" all three said again.

"Why are you always trying to take away my pride?" they all said again. The one to the right aimed a Deku Nut at the far left one. The middle one aimed one at the far right one. The one of the left aimed one to the middle one.

"Stop it!" the one in the middle roared, unleashing some more Deku Nuts. "I hit the boy in the head, and I deserve all the credit.

"No, I did!" the other two cried out, throwing Deku Nuts at the one in the middle.

Navi and Link snuck off the to the far left towards the door, taking advantage of their fight. They entered the door, and Navi gulped.

"Link...I smell evil."
