I know it's not Saturday, but I suppose I could just sneak this chapter in and update again on Saturday. Maybe. .
(Doodle-Pen)-Hehe. I'm glad you and your brother enjoyed it.
(UberLutz)-Aw. Make more? That involves more work. (dreads)
(Meggy) It's always good to get a positive review.

(totallystrange) Really? I thought all chapters were weird. XD Yeah, he learned it.
(Inu-Fan-5) (looks at muffin with suspense) Ew! There's a worm in it...throws up
(Knuckles Spyro Fox Link) Lol. XD Having fun with it? I used a walkthrough 12 times during the game. Oh, yes,
I suck at video games. ears perk up Game guides, you say?
How did Mido find your toilet? We will never know. o.o Dun dun dun...

I hope that helped! Almost like the game! (eyelashes flutter)
AND NOW, FOLKS, THE PART YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR...
DISCLAIMER TORTURING!
Doodle-Pen: Feed to Volvagia, feed ashes to Gohma Larvae (hey, they're actually useful), then shred poo with
fast fan blades. Yay, a very clever torture.
UberLutz: Super Sonic spin dashes through the disclaimer! w00t! (burns any leftover disclaimer)
Evilangel04: Lock him in a room with the "disguised" Link. Oooh. That's painful and harsh. Ow.
If I haven't put yours up, it's probrably because I missed it in the review page. Review again with your disclaimer torturing and yell at me. I'll hit myself with a shoe.
Link and Navi traveled over to the Triforce symbol on the ground and straight ahead lay the entrance to the Fire Temple.
Navi did not bother to explain to Link what had happened earlier. She figured he didn't really need to know.
There was a deep hole in the ground. Strung tightly to the wall was a ladder. Navi floated down.
"Come on, Link." Navi called out from below.
"Cannonball!" Link yelled as he jumped down.
"You're supposed to use the lad-"
Kaboom.
Navi coughed. There were clouds of smoke ruining her vision and her breathing air.
Finally, as the smoke cleared, she saw Link crumpled up in a heap. There was a large dent in the ground, and several of the tiles split upwards.
"There's a reason why they put the ladder there," Navi said in exasperation.
Link wiped the grime off his face and looked behind him at the wooden ladder.
"Oh." He muttered under his breath.
"Link, in future, think before you act...or jump down a deep hole."
"Okay, okay." Link rolled his eyes followed Navi into the dark tunnel. The tiles Link fell on suddenly groaned and then molded back into their proper shape.
"I swear, the Gorons were related to the Chinese," Link said, ogling the massive temple. There were three giant statues at the very front, and a stone staircase. On either side of the stairs, there were two doors being barricaded by large blocks. The statues had no arms, feet, or hands. Just mouths…full of blazing fire.
Two fire Keese swooped over to them.
"Duck!" Navi cried out.
Navi's words did not get to Link fast enough. The Hylian put up his arm to shield him, but he forgot that his Hylian Shield was still there.
"Don't hurt me, don't hurt me, don't hurt me." The Hylian whimpered.
The shield seemed to absorb the fire off the Keese, leaving them bare.
"Kill them! They're still stunned!" Navi shouted.
Link lowered his shield and looked at them timidly.
"Nice Keese…"
"Oh, for Din's sake!" Navi bellowed. She flew over to the Keese and bonked them both on the head.
Link, who's eyes were closed since Navi flew over, opened his eyes and stared at the dead Keese.
"I killed them! I didn't even do anything!" Link said joyfully.
"Uh…no, I ki-" Navi thought for a second. Not like he was going to believe her. "Yeah, nice job. Did you see that swing you made? Yeah, it was awesome."
"I didn't even touch my Master Sword! They just…dropped dead! Too scared, eh?"
"Another enemy bites the dust," Navi said sarcastically.
Link jumped on the Keese. "Yeah, take that!"
Navi sighed. "Let's get going…"
Link picked up the Keese by the wing, grimaced, ran up the steps, and threw it into the fire. Black smoke curled from the fire.
"Link!" Navi cried out in surprise.
"It's one of those childish urges, I guess." Link shrugged.
"You had an urge to kill a Keese and throw it's dead body into a fire?" Navi asked doubtfully.
"Uh…yeah." Link answered, shuffling his feet.
Navi moved away a few inches. "Okay, come on, we'll go over to the left, the right door is locked.
Link walked over to the left door and knocked on it.
Nothing happened.
"Open the door," Navi said irritably.
"Shhh." Link said, putting a finger to his lips and knocking once more.
The door suddenly slid up smoothly.
Navi stared, dumbfounded.
"You'll learn in good time," Link said, with an air of superiority, walking through fast so Navi couldn't argue.
They were in a very, very large chamber. You could've fit Link's tree house in there a dozen times at least. There was a long bridge extending all the way to the other side, but it split in the middle a fraction of an inch. There were Fire Keese swooping around wildly, and on either side of the bridge were blocks constantly moving back and forth, powered by jets of fire.
"Why is everything…so...fiery!" Link wailed, wringing his arms.
"Do you know why it's called the "Fire" Temple, Link?" Navi asked in exasperation.
"No, why?"
"Forget it…"
Link crossed the bridge till he reached the gap. "Uh…"
Navi floated over, annoyed. "Just jump. You've jumped farther distances before."
"What do Gorons have with bridges?" Link moaned. "I swear, someone purposely broke this bridge! This was a nice bridge! And they broke it!"
Navi sighed. "Hop, little Linky."
"Don't call me Linky," Link growled, making menacing motions at Navi.
"Boo hoo, is Linky mad?" Navi asked in a babyish voice, floating on further to the other side.
Link looked at the gap in the bridge. "No way! That…psychology junk is definitely not working on me!"
Navi decided to try a different tack. "Your fans are watching from behind the rocks."
Link zipped over the gap like it was part of the bridge.
"All part of the act, good people." Link said nervously, sweat dripping down his brow.
He values his fans more than he does his life, Navi thought, rolling her eyes. I got stuck with the most vain Hylian in the world. Why, Farore, Din, and Nayru?
Somewhere in the Heavens-
"OH! I thought you were going to do that!" Farore yelled at the top of her lungs, her fingers frantically scrambling over the controller.
"How dare you!" Din shrieked, hitting Farore back with her game character.
"Stop it," Nayru scolded. "Both of you! Listen up, one of the fairies, Navi, she got paired with the really stupid guy, the Hero of Time…what's his name?"
"Uh, Link or something. Noo! Why!" Din yelped. She manipulated the controls so that the figure on the screen jumped back and then slashed forward.
"Oh, you're sneaky," Farore said.
"Ugh. You goddesses are disgusting. She asked why we paired her up with him. Why did we do that, again?"
Farore and Din shrugged, both pointing to the other and saying in unison, "Ask her."
Nayru rolled her eyes.
-Back in the Fire Temple-
Navi squinted at the wall. Something invisible was writing on it. Her question was not going to go unheeded!
Eagerly, Navi flew ahead, wanting to hear the wise reply of the goddesses. Perhaps it would help her in their quest!
I…
Navi blinked. It was the start of a great sentence, she was sure.
Don't…
A blank look crossed Navi's face.
Know….
Navi raised her eyebrows. "Am I the only sensible being in Hyrule?"
Link suddenly burped.
"I guess I am." Navi said sadly. "It's a tough job when everyone's an idiot, but a fairy's gotta do it."
"C'mon, Navi." Link called out, at the other side. The door was locked with the same lock they had seen in the Forest Temple.
If it was hard to make Link hop over a gap in a bridge, how hard would it be to make him jump on the blocks which were skating over hot lava? Navi thought silently.
"Oh no. No way. I am not…" Link seemed to have read Navi's mind.
Navi smacked her wing against the other in gangster fashion and cracked her…wings?
"OH! OW! THE AGONY!" Navi screamed.
Link edged away. "And she says she lives in a world of idiots…"
"They never get hurt in the movies." Navi moaned.
Link struggled to make a sarcastic remark, but failed miserably.
"Yeah…movies." Link laughed weakly.
"C'mon, boy, jump."
Link looked at the lava tentatively. "Er…"
Navi hoisted a rock up off the ground and tossed it into the frothing lava, and ten seconds later, the lava swallowed it up without hesitation.
"See! That could've been me!" Link exclaimed.
Navi floated over to the left side impatiently. Following her were flaming skulls (what are they called again?) and hot jets of fire rising up. Finally, the fairy made it to the end, glaring.
"I'll wait here for you," Navi shouted. "Fairies age very slowly. Take your time."
Link flushed and sat down on a rock, glaring back with equal intensity. "No."
Navi hummed to herself, beginning to relax for the first time. She dived into one of the pots nearby, enjoying the cold temperature. The pot's cold exterior was hard and thick, providing able protection from the heat.
Link reddened, and though Navi couldn't see through the pot walls, she could tell he was frothing with anger because his fairy was enjoying himself.
Navi flicked on a flashlight, took off the bits of Link's hat off her, laid them neatly on the ground, sat down, put on sunglasses, and waited enjoyably with a book called, "101 Ways How to Train your Partner".
The fairy flipped to page 31, Chapter Two "How to Make your Partner Worship you,".
Link glared angrily. "Oh yeah? Well, I can do that too!"
"Eh?" Navi murmured, concentrating on the words.
Link looked at a jar, winced, and dived for the opening.
"Ow," Navi muttered, not needing to see to know what had happened.
The jar had smashed into pieces. Thankfully, Link had not been hurt, but he had a large bruise on his head, growing at an absolutely ridiculous rate.
"Okay, that's it, I'm coming for you!" Link growled. Navi heard great thumps and knew he wasn't lying. Quick as a flash, Navi plastered the bits of hat back on, extinguished the light, and flew up, just in time to see Link hopping over the last few steps.
Navi was whistling innocently. "What?"
"Let's just go, okay." Link muttered, his bruised pride hurting more than the bump on his head, which was swelling.
"I do believe you just broke a record, chap." Navi laughed.
