Chapter 4: Hot Sauce
Senko was tense the whole way back too the hotel. She kept glancing out the tinted window of the car, searching for Vaati. She autommaticly assumed he was under his invisibility spell, but what if he wasn't and had chosen not to follow her? Or maybe he was invisible but he'd caught sight of another limo and followed the wrong one? "I bet other teenage girls do not have to worry about this kind of stuff," she thought.
Senko stayed tense until the limo stopped in front of the hotel and the chauffer opened the door for her. As soon as she stepped outside of the long black car she felt the wind gust, almost as if it were trying to comfort her.
"Come on honey, we can't stand out here forever." Her dad's voice snapped Senko out of her trance like state. What was that? If Vaati was trying to cast a spell on her he was so dead.
As soon as she got to her hotel room Senko fainted on the bed. Yes, her hotel room. Her rich dad thought a teenege girl needed her own room no matter where she went. Suddenly she heard a tapping sound. She went to the window to find Vaati, tapping on the glass. She rushed to the window and opened it.
"What the hell are you doing?" Senko hissed.
"Excuse me? You're the one who told me to follow that car thing! By the way thanks for telling me what exactly what I was supposed to be following."
"I did not tell you to float right outside my window where someone could see you!"
"Relax no one's looking! What's your problem?"
"I will tell you what my problem is! He is purple and likes to give people heart attacks!"
"No, your problem is that you're just too damn stubborn!"
"What did you say?" Senko was shouting now. Suddenly there was knock on the door.
"Honey? Are you okay?" It was her dad.
"Oh no!" Senko gasped. She pushed Vaati a little so his head wasn't poking through the window and slammed it shut before he could say anything. Senko threw the curtains shut and jumped on the bed and grabbed the remote. Just in time. Her dad opened the door to see his teenage daughter channel surfing. Nothing wrong with that.
"Honey, the T.V.'s a little loud. Be sure to turn the volume down a bit."
"Will do." Senko didn't relax even after her dad shut the door. She went back to the window. Vaati looked a little pissed, and had a reason to be; Senko had slammed the window shut on his fingers. Before Vaati could yell at her she grabbed him by the collar of his cloak and pulled him inside. "That was too close," she sighed. "You do realize my dad was just here, right?" Vaati didn't really look like he cared.
"So? What did he want?"
"We were yelling to loud. You almost got caught. What do you think will happen if he finds out about you?"
Vaati didn't respond. Instead he walked past Senko and began to gawk at every little thing. "What's this?" he asked holding up the romote control.
"That is the T.V. remote. It lets you change the channel on the T.V." This sentance didn't mean anything to Vaati. He had no idea what a T.V. was or what 'change the channel' meant. So, for the next hour Senko explained what modern appliances were, what they did and how they worked.
After their hour long session Senko fell asleep on her bed. Vaati wasn't really tired; his time within the seal was the equivilent of sleep. He didn't know what prompted him to do so, but he pulled the blankets over Senko's sleeping form. She looked very... peaceful lying there. He looked at a small backpack lying on the bed next to Senko. Vaati picked it up, intending to rest it on the table out of the way. As soon as he picked it up a small leather book fell out. The wind mage picked it up and looked at it. It appeared to be a journal of some kind. He opened it to the first page. The first few words jumped out at him: Great Grandpa's Journal
Vaati considered looking through it, the fact that it was written in Hylian fascinated him, but he decided against it. He could ask Senko about it later. And right now he wanted something to eat. He looked in the room Senko had told him was the kitchen. He was still getting used to how strange everything looked. The wind mage opened the big white box Senko had called a 'refrigerator'. He didn't recognize any of the things in it. Vaati picked up a funny looking bottle with red liquid inside. Was it tomato juice? Might as well try some.
Senko woke to Vaati screaming. She leaped from the bed and ran to where Vaati was. Had someone found him? "Vaati?" she cried.
"Ack! My tounge! My tounge!" Senko stared at him.
"Your.. tounge?" She picked up a bottle Vaati had dropped on the floor. Hot sauce. Now Senko was mad. "Are you telling me that you were screaming because you drank hot sauce!?!" Senko's voice was gradually getting louder until she was screaming.
"How was I supposed to know what it was? You coulda told me earlier!"
"You should not go around drinking strange things! You are just lucky that was hot sauce and not arsenic!"
"Lucky? It hurt!"
"It hurt? This is the great wind mage that tried to take over the world one thousand years ago? This is pathetic!"
"What did you-" before Vaati could finish there was another knock at the door.
"Oh no, my dad again!" Senko opened the pantry, which was right across from the refrigerator, and pushed Vaati inside. Then she ran to answer the door. It was her dad again.
"Honey, is something wrong? I heard shouting," the business man asked.
"N-no, everything is fine. I tripped and spilled some hot sauce, that is all." Her dad seemed to buy her excuse.
"All right, we're leaving for dinner in an hour. Be ready."
"Okay dad," Senko said, doing her best to seem happy. As soon as the door closed the girl ran to the pantry and opened it. Inside Vaati was looking extremely pissed. An unopened bottle of hot sauce had been knocked over and was now dripping on his head. "I hate you," he muttered. Senko just smiled and laughed.
