Yeah! Chapter five! This Fanfiction may not be as popular as others out there, but I really appreciate everyone who has commented and put this story into their favorites! You are all like my invisible friends!... That makes it sound like I'm crazy, but I don't really care right now. I really like seeing that my story has gotten new reviews and been favorited. I think that this chapter is kind of uneventful, but I like it anyway! Enjoy! Oh first the disclaimer!

I do NOT own The Legend of Zelda. Or I would've already "accidentally" spilled the details on the newest Zelda game.

Chapter 5: A little visit from a friend

I felt my soul slip out of my body and plunge into darkness. I felt the wind fly past me and slow. I looked around to my surroundings and my eyes widened. I quickly looked at my body and sighed.

"I'm human again. But why am I here?", I mumbled to myself, looking around the Chamber of Sages. I looked up and sighed, waiting for Din to speak.

"Hello little one, welcome back to the Chamber of Sages.", A motherly, heavenly voice spoke to me. I turned around and smiled to a green glow.

"Hello Farore!", I said excitedly. She floated down and stopped glowing. She smiled at me and laughed.

"You've stirred up quite an argument between my sisters. Din wants you to stay in Hyrule and assist Link and Midna, and Nayru thinks it would be best if you went home. And now Navi as I seem to recall!", She said giggling. I blushed and smiled.

"Yeah. I didn't know she was still around.", I said smiling. Farore giggled and nodded.

"As a fairy, she never ages, but is still vulnerable to harm.", She explained. I nodded and clenched my fists tightly. Farore raised an eyebrow in concern.

"I've seen. Her wing is bent, some monster did it when they tried to eat her.", I told Farore. She nodded solemnly.

"I have seen her injuries.", She said to me. I sighed.

"I see the look of loneliness and pain on her face, and I just want to...", I began. Farore smiled sweetly.

"I've always found it amazing how love can conquer even the boundaries of size and race.", She said with a giggle. I blushed and smiled weakly.

"It's true, I do care about her. More than you know. I don't want her to feel alone anymore, but I still need to help Link and Midna. In more ways than one.", I said with a devious smile. Farore smiled and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? What do you mean?", She asked playfully. I laughed.

"Well, I'm going to pound it into their heads that they love each other, because it's completely obvious. I'm going to try and set Zant straight, as impossible as it may seem. And I'm going to do a pig call when we approach Ganondorf, just to piss him off!", I said smugly. Farore laughed happily.

"Well, I can't wait to see that happen.", A wise, heavenly, voice of authority spoke. I turned around and saw Nayru. She smiled at me and nodded.

"You mean?"

"Yes. We, as in all of us, are going to allow you to join Link, Midna, and Navi.", She said to me with a smile. I beamed and bowed.

"Thank you all! But... How did you find out?", I asked curiously. Farore looked at me sheepishly.

"All fairies are connected to the Great fairy, and the Great Fairy is connected to me. I accidentally let slip of you're arrival to Nayru, against Din's protests.", Farore explained. I chuckled.

"Seems a little clumsy... Oh well. I'm just thankful to be here!", I said bowing to Farore and Nayru.

"I said I was hoping to see you after everything was all over, but it's good to see you again, kid!", Din said from behind me. I whipped around and beamed.

"Din! It's great to see you again! So, you convinced Nayru to let me stay? Or was it that she decided of her own deliberation?", I asked. She paused for a second and smirked.

"Uhh... Yeah! I 'convinced' her!", She said flexing her arm muscles. I chuckled nervously.

"I see... Well again, thank you all! I'll make you guys proud!", I said turning to face them all. They each smiled, and spoke together.

"We know you will."

A golden light shined down onto me and I was raised back up into the inky blackness.

I awoke with a cold sweat running down my face. I gasped for air and looked around. Navi awoke on my pillow and shot up quickly. I was in Telma's bar, with only a few lanterns lit. I sighed and layed back down, unaware of a drowsy Navi on my pillow.

"Ouch!", A muffled shout came from my pillow and I shot up again. I looked down at my pillow and sighed. Navi was okay for the most part. I picked her up, and moved her in front of me.

"What were you doing on my pillow?", I asked sleepily. She looked at me and blushed.

"You looked really warm and peaceful, and I was cold and lonely...", She muttered, twiddling her thumbs. I chuckled sleepily and smiled.

"Oh. Alright, let's just share the pillow then.", I said with a smile. She looked up at me and was blushing.

"R-really?",She asked hopefully. I nodded sleepily. She climbed onto my pillow and layed down next to my head.

"I'm sorry for laying down on you.", I muttered sleepily. She smiled.

"That's alright. Thank you for letting me sleep with you.", She whispered sleepily as she lightly kissed my nose. I blushed and smiled.

"You're very welcome milady.", I whispered. Navi was already asleep, lightly snoring. I smiled, she even snored cutely.

(Insert divider here)

Link pushed me lightly. I groaned and put my face into the pillow, careful not to knock Navi awake.

"Austin. C'mon, it's time to get up. We should get going if we want get to Auru.", He whispered. I moaned. Midna snickered. The next thing I knew, I was being held upside down by a giant hand. I groaned.

"No... I needs the precious...", I imitated Smeagal from 'Lord of the Rings.' Link and Midna looked at each other, as if asking, 'WTF?' Navi yawned and woke up. She stood up on the pillow and stretched lazily. She turned around and cleared her throat.

"Oh, hey guys. Morning.", She greeted, wiping her eyes. I yawned and floated upright. Midna let go of me and I slowly drifted back down to the sleeping bag. Navi looked at me as I floated into the pillow and she sighed.

"Austin. GET UP.", Navi said sternly. I shot straight up and floated upwards, till I bumped into the ceiling.

"Ow. I'm up.", I said sleepily. Link chuckled and looked at Midna who only rolled her eyes and sank into Link's shadow. The doorknob to the bar rattled a bit and in walked Telma. She looked at us and smiled.

"You still here? I thought you would've been gone by now honey!", Telma mused sweetly. Link laughed and nodded.

"We were just about to clean up and say goodbye. Austin wanted to keep sleeping.", Link explained. Telma smiled and looked at me.

"Glad you decided to sleep in! Link rarely has breakfast before heading out. A little change'll do him good.", Telma said. I yawned again and rubbed my sore head. Navi walked over to me and leaned against my side. I picked her up and set her on my shoulder before floating up over to Telma at the bar.

"So how'd you sleep hon'?", She asked starting a fire under a stove. I shrugged.

"I guess... Interesting.", I said looking at Navi. She saw me and looked away blushing. Telma turned around.

"Oh? How so?", She asked grabbing a pan, and some eggs. I sighed.

"I was visited by Farore, then Nayru, then finally Din in my sleep.", I told her. Navi looked back at me and Telma looked at me surprised.

"Really?", She said in interest. I nodded and closed my eyes.

"I found myself in a dark place called the Chamber of Sages. Farore told me how I caused a fight between Nayru and Din.", I told her chuckling. Navi looked at me widly.

"They fought?!", Navi asked in shock. I nodded.

"She told me that when Nayru found out, she was furious at Din for sending me on my quest.", I said. Telma chuckled, shook her head and placed some white grapes in front of me. She cracked a few eggs into the pan and scrambled them up.

"Just goes to show you, even the goddesses have their moments of imperfection.", Telma said stirring the eggs and throwing in some strips of bacon. Navi climbed down and grabbed a grape.

"So, Din sent you on this quest? Just Din?", Navi asked. I nodded with a smile. Navi sighed and took a bite of the grape.

"How did Nayru find out?", Telma asked over her shoulder. I looked at Navi and she tilted her head.

"Well all fairies are connected to the Great Fairy, who is in fact connected to Farore. That means, Farore accidentally let it slip.", Navi stared at me with her jaw dropped.

"I gave you away?!", She asked shocked. I chuckled.

"Sorta'. Not really. Farore knew once I met you, and she kept it quiet for a while. She just, let it slip. A harmless accident!", I explained. Navi lowered her head.

"But still... If I hadn't have met you... You wouldn't have gotten in trouble...", She mumbled regrettably. I frowned.

"Navi, don't say that. I'm really glad I met you, and I wouldn't want to have it any other way.", I said with a soft smile, lifting her chin with my finger. She blushed and smiled. Telma looked at us and smiled. Navi held onto my finger.

"I'm sorry... You're right, and I'm glad we met too.", She told softly. I smiled and brushed her hair out of her face carefully. She blushed a little more and giggled. Link walked over and sat down. Telma glanced back and smiled, flipping the bacon over.

"Glad you decided to join us Link honey!", She smiled. Link nodded and glanced at Navi and I.

"Um... What's up?", He asked awkwardly. Navi stuttered and blushed furiously. I blushed and thought of something.

"Navi got a little down and I was telling her that she doesn't have to feel that way. Don't worry, be happy!", I explained to Link, quoting Bob Marley. Link chuckled.

"Oh, I see. I thought you were... Never mind. What's cooking Telma?", Link asked, quickly changing the subject. Telma laughed at Link and Navi's nervousness.

"I hope you like Bacon and Eggs! I'm cooking up enough for four so you all can have plenty of energy for today.", Telma explained. Navi stuck out her tongue in disgust.

"Ew. No thanks, I don't eat meat. Almost being prey, tends to do that to a fairy.", She explained. Telma looked at her and nodded.

"I figured as much, that's why I'm gonna give you all some roasted peanuts to go.", Telma said, pulling the pan of off the stove. She pulled down three plates and some forks. I licked my lips hungrily and my stomach growled loudly. Everyone looked at me.

"What, was that?", Link asked me. I chuckled sheepishly.

"I'm hungry! Really hungry.", I told him. Navi raised an eyebrow.

"When was the last time you ate besides last night?", Navi asked me, grabbing another grape. I froze.

"Umm... I don't know exactly...", I muttered. Telma shook her head.

"That's not good hon'.", She said, handing me my plate of food, "Now eat. You sound like you need it."

"Thank you for the meal.", I thanked her before eating. She smiled in appreciation, handing Link a plate.

"No hon', thank you for being such a sweety!", Telma thanked me. I chuckled and smiled nervously. Link finished quickly and asked for another helping of food.

"Done so quickly? My my, your stomach is like a bottomless pit.", Telma said in amusement, giving Link another helping. I watched Link curiously as Telma turned around for some oranges. Link pressed a finger to his lips, mouthing for me to be quiet. He set the plate in his shadow and it was absorbed. Midna belched and Link took the empty plate out of his shadow and set it back on the bar. Telma turned around with a pitcher of orange juice and her eyes widened in surprise.

"My goodness! That was quick!", Telma said surprised. Link smiled and belched. Telma shook her head. I leaned over to Link.

"Um, aren't you forgetting your manners?", I reminded him. I sat straight.

"Oh, um, pardon me.", He excused himself. I looked at him as he got up and walked outside. I raised an eyebrow in question to Navi, but she simply shrugged and bit into another grape. Link re-entered and gathered up his gear.

"Sorry Austin, but we may have to cut breakfast short.", He told me. I motioned for him to wait a moment as I ate the last of my eggs. I grabbed the bacon and smiled to Telma.

"Thank you very much for the meal, it was delicious!", I said picking up Navi. Telma stopped me and smiled. She put three small bags in my free hand.

"You all take good care of each other now, you hear?", She told us as I floated over to Link. Navi waved goodbye as we exited the building.

"Bye Telma! See you later!", Link said. Telma chuckled as the door closed behind us. I floated up the small passage and into the bright light. I squinted and placed my hand over the sun, allowing my eyes to adjust to the light. Link walked up behind me and up the stone staircase. He looked back and waited for me.

"Come on! We're going to go see one of Telma's friends. He's looking into something over at Lake Hylia!", He said motioning for me to hurry up. I nodded and floated next to Link, heading into the main street. Many passer-bys looked at me curiously, some fearfully, others simply ignored me and rushed away to a busy day. I breathed the fresh morning air and sighed happily. I'd never smelt this much pure nature before, everything always had a small layer of smoke and pollution to it. Navi looked at me curiously.

"What's up with you?", She asked. I chuckled.

"See, I've never smelt air this clean before. I come from a place that has very dirty air that's difficult to breathe.", I explained. Link raised an eyebrow.

"Where is that exactly? I don't think you've said...", He asked me. I smiled deviously.

"I'm only going to tell you after you save the kingdom Link!", I said smirking. Link sighed and smiled.

"I'm gonna hold you to that you know.", He told me. I nodded and floated over the southern drawbridge that Link was crossing. I looked around at the trees and flower patches. I chuckled as soon as I spotted Agitha, searching for bugs in a flower patch. Link continued down the stone staircases and passed the fountain. I had an idea and floated down to the chest, unreachable without the spinner that Link would get from the Arbiters Grounds temple. Navi looked over at Link walking down the staircase, and back at me.

"What are you doing? He's leaving without us!", Navi told me, rushing me. I smiled at her and held up a hand.

"Give me a second, I'll float right on over him and catch up.", I told her, opening up the treasure chest. I reached inside it and faked terrible pain. Navi gasped and looked at me wide eyed. I groaned and slowly started to laugh after seeing her face. She glared at me and bit my ear. I yelped in pain and rubbed it sorely.

"D-don't ever do that again! You scared me half to death!", She said angrily, folding her arms and turning away with a blush on her face. I pouted and pulled out an orange rupee.

"I'm sowwy... I jus' wanted to have a wittle fun...", I said in a little childish voice. Navi looked at me angrily.

"Don't do it again.", She said harshly. I cringed and sighed.

"Really though, I didn't mean to scare you that much... Will this help you to forgive me?", I asked showing her the orange rupee. She looked at it and gasped.

"What?! When? Where?", She asked in shock. I smiled and pointed to the chest.

"I was hoping to start keeping some money on myself, in case I ever needed to buy something!", I explained, shivering as a cold wind blew. Navi smirked.

"Like clothing?", She teased. I thought about it and nodded.

"Sure. Keeping warm will probably be a necessary part of traveling.", I said, and added, "Along with keeping cool."

Navi raised an eyebrow in amusement. I stared at her seriously, then stuck my tongue out and smiled cutely. She chuckled and lightly punched my cheek.

"You'd make an adorable puppy, you know that?", Navi said. I chuckled and floated after Link in a hurry.

"I've been told.", I said with amusement. Link approached the edge of a pit and looked down it. I rushed over.

"Link!", I shouted. He turned around and looked at me strangely.

"I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, you could, cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in!", I sang out jokingly. Link stared at me blankly. Navi pinched her brow in embarrassment. Midna came out of Link's shadow and started laughing hysterically.

"What was that?!", Midna asked in between fits of laughter. I groaned in embarrassment.

"Those were lyrics to a really good song. It was a joke.", I told them. Midna laughed some more and wiped the tears from her eyes, slowly regaining her breath. I floated over the pit and looked down it nervously.

"So uh... Why are we looking down a pit to a river?", I asked changing the subject quickly. Link chuckled.

"This river flows to Lake Hylia. Rather quickly too. I figure a nice morning swim would help us all.", Link explained. I looked at Navi and gulped.

"Listen, Link. I think we're going to have to pass on that mid-morning swim.", I told him, trying to make an excuse not to get wet. Link laughed.

"Nonsense! You can swim can't you?", He asked chuckling. I nodded slowly and looked at Navi who was shaking her head slowly.

"Oh... Right. I forgot that Navi has a broken wing. She won't be able to just fly above us as we swim down.", Link said apologetically. I sighed a breath of relief and chuckled. Navi punched me and smirked.

"A little afraid of water?", She asked teasingly. I chuckled and nodded.

"It's more the cold water that I'm afraid of.", I told her. Link chuckled and handed me a few things like the Master sword and his shield. He put his hands together and smiled at us.

"Please keep those dry. See you at the bottom!", He told us diving down into the water hundreds of feet down. Navi and I gasped and looked down the pit. Link splashed down into the water and resurfaced. I floated down quickly after Link with his stuff in hand. He started to swim down, following the current. He sped down, washed away by the current. I floated down ahead of Link and waited on a dock. He swam down the waterfall and up to the dock. He smirked and wiped the water off of his face.

"Well? Are you content now Link?", Navi asked with an amused grin. He nodded and climbed up on the dock. Water poured off of his clothes down onto the wooden docks. I shook my head in amusement and handed him his sword and shield.

"Here. I kept 'em dry like you asked."

"Thanks. That swim really woke me up!", He said putting his sword and shield on his back. He started walking through the water towards the Lanayru spirit spring. I floated after him.

"So where's this Auru guy gonna be? Up in a watchtower or something?", I asked sarcastically, knowing full well that's exactly where he would be. Link laughed and looked at me.

"Actually, yeah. It's a stone watchtower, overlooking the Gerudo Desert.", He told me in slight amusement. Navi chuckled and I put on an interested face.

"Aren't the Gerudos a race of only women?", I asked in a scholarly voice. Navi rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"Boys!", She muttered. I looked at her and smiled.

"Your point? I'm asking a question for educational purposes only!", I stated in slight offense. Navi rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Please! All you want to know is if you could get in bed with them!", She said in frustration. I pouted childishly.

"There's more to a relationship than just something physical! Besides, I'm already interested in somebody, and she's not a Gerudo!", I said sticking my tongue out. Navi raised an eyebrow.

"Who's that?"

I froze and looked away. Navi leaned against me and tried to look me in the eye.

"If I told you, then you'd just tease me!", I lied. Navi huffed and sighed, defeated. Link chuckled and shook his head. He passed the spirit spring and walked across the bridge towards the little island with a twilight portal hovering high above it.

"What are those two bickering about?", Midna asked sleepily from Link's shadow. Link smiled.

"Oh, they're just vying for each others attention. Navi's trying to find out who Austin likes, despite it being quite obvious.", Link explained calmly as he walked ahead. Midna giggled.

"Oh-ho! So they like each other then? My, my... What will they say next?", Midna snickered. I floated behind Link and sighed.

"Look Navi, It's not that I don't trust you and all, but I've never been comfortable telling people who I liked...", I explained to her. She sighed and nodded.

"It's alright, I'm the same way.", She said smirking softly. I sighed a breath of relief and a thought struck me.

"Wait, does that mean you also like somebody?", I asked curiously. She went rigid and blushed.

"M-maybe...", She stuttered quietly. I smiled. She was so cute when she did that.

"Alright.", I said smiling softly, "I won't press any further."

She looked at me in surprise and smiled back. She blushed lightly and giggled.

"You're really surprising sometimes, you know that?", She asked me. I smiled in slight embarrassment and nodded.

"That's something I pride myself on: Being spontaneous.", I chuckled. Navi rolled her eyes and pointed towards Link.

"Is he talking to Midna?", She whispered in my ear. I giggled and squirmed.

"Don't do that! It tickles!", I said between laughs. Navi smirked deviously and started whispering nonsense in my ears. I started to laugh loudly and fall on the ground, rolling in hysterical laughter. Navi held on tight and continued tickling me from whispering. Link heard me and whipped around, sword drawn. He saw me rolling on the ground laughing and sighed.

"Just what in Farore's name is going on?", He asked exasperated. I managed to pry Navi off of my ears and keep her at arms-length, in order to catch my breath. Navi folded her arms and tried to pout, accidentally slipping a smile.

"You're no fun... Hi Link...", She muttered trying very hard not to smile, and failing. I looked at her and laughed.

"She found out that my ears are ticklish, and started whispering random things in my ear, causing me to fall down and laugh uncontrollably." I explained eyeing Navi suspiciously. She smirked deviously and Link shook his head.

"C'mon, let's get going. Auru's just ahead, so let's get going.", Link said a little confused. Midna giggled from Link's shadow.

"And at least try not flirt with each other so much!", Midna teased from Link's shadow. Link put his face in his hand and shook his head. Navi and I stiffened and I put her on my shoulder. My face was bright red and I looked away from Navi. She blushed and looked away from me. Midna giggled some more and Link sighed.

"Just ignore her and follow me.", Link said in slight annoyance. I floated behind Link slowly and thought about what Midna said. I sighed and focused on floating behind Link. I glanced over at Navi. She was looking out across Lake Hylia and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Hey Navi.", I spoke up. Navi jolted and looked at me. I looked at the lake and back at her.

"What are you thinking so much about?", I asked her. She looked at Link and back at the lake.

"Oh, just remembering some of the adventures that the old hero and I went through.", She said nostalgically. I chuckled.

"When we get the chance, you should tell me some of those stories.", I suggested. She looked at me and smiled.

"Yeah, I think you'd like some of them.", Navi said happily. She looked back at the lake and stared out sadly. I frowned and tapped her shoulder.

"Hey, chin up. Don't feel sad, okay? As long as you're here, we're going to stick together, you and me, no matter what.", I said smiling softly. She looked at me and teared up. She cried and hugged my face. I shushed her and stroked her gently.

"Shhh, shhh. It's okay... It's okay... Let it all out... You've looked like you needed a shoulder to cry for a while now...", I said softly. She laughed at my joke and looked at me softly.

"Thank you... I have needed to do that, for a long time... A very long time...", She said quietly. I smiled and kissed her lightly. She blushed and kissed me on the cheek. I blushed back at smiled. Link whistled and motioned for us to follow. I nodded and floated behind him. We approached a tall stone tower and I gaped at it.

A softer moment between Navi and Austin. Always trying to make her feel better. Review for hugs and High-fives! I hope to reach 18-20 reviews with this chapter! Thank you a LOT if you help make it twenty!
