Chapter Eight: Welcome to Earth

"Only one day?" Malon asked Link, surprised. Link nodded, and continued to watch Malon make lunch. "That was quick…" Malon murmured. "Was she a lot of help?" The redhead asked, turning her head to Link. Link nodded and Malon smiled. "That's good."

"Where is she now?" Link asked, and Malon laughed.

"Tessa was a nervous wreck, something about homework and tests. She went home for a little bit."

"Tessa, I realize you've been sick, but you have to make up all of your tests."

"How many of them are there?"

"Ten."

"WHAT!"

"She's kind of…odd…" Navi murmured. "Nice…just….odd…" Malon had to suppress a laugh, and she looked at Navi with a bright look in her eyes.

"I believe she's still adjusting to our world." Malon sighed. "I wonder what her world is like…it has to be completely different."

"I would still like to know why she came to our world." Link sighed. Malon's head suddenly shot up, as if a sudden realization sprang into her mind.

"Why don't you go and see her world?" Malon asked excitedly. "I mean, I don't have time but if you're going to stay here for a week like you planned, then you could at least go and tell me what it's like. I asked Tessa…and she tried…but she couldn't really describe it very well. It was like there are concepts in her world that either aren't thought up yet, or are just unimaginable by our standards. Her world must be so exciting!"

Link and Navi looked at each other.

"In fact, you could go tomorrow morning! You'd be bored by ranch work anyways." Malon said, and placed Link's dinner in front of him, and sat down herself.

"Where's Talon?"

"Asleep. Don't change the subject." Malon replied. "Please, would you go Link? It'd mean the world to me!"

"Er…"

"I love Saturdays…" Tessa murmured, as she slightly rolled over in her bed. She was so comfy, and she didn't actually have to wake up until she wanted to. Cooking smells reached her nose, and she smiled a lot. Her father was making bacon, eggs, and toast! It couldn't get any better than this!

Deciding that she had slept enough, she slipped out of bed, and found her purple fuzzy slippers, brushed her hair, and headed downstairs into the living room. She almost immediately froze at the last step when she saw the strangest sight in her living room.

Her littlest sister, Greer (who was nine years old) was showering Link with thousands of questions, while her mom set up another place at the table, and Ava (13) stared blankly at Link. Ava turned to Tessa, and pointed at Link. Tessa suddenly looked down at her apparel and ran upstairs.

Link heard quick footsteps and the door close and lots of shuffled noises above his head. "Don't worry, that's Tessa. She's probably going to put something on besides her sleepwear." Tessa's mother said. Tessa only had one feature from her mother, and that was hair color. Other than that, she had her father's eyes and some of his face structure (except in a girly way) and the height…was…well…he didn't know where that seemed to come from. She was quite a bit shorter than her parents. Even Ava, who was two years younger, was taller than her. Ava looked a lot like her mother, and Greer looked a lot like Tessa, except at nine she was almost the same height as Tessa and had curly hair instead of straight.

"Is it cool in Hyrule? I wanna go there! Can I go there? Do you have a girlfriend? Does Tessa have a boyfriend? Are there monsters? I wanna go! Do you get to use a big shiny sword? What about the monsters? I wanna go!" Greer rambled on at a rather fast pace and Link felt himself growing more uncomfortable. He had come to Tessa's world and found his way out of the shed rather easily, and Tessa's mother had been outside sitting. It seemed she knew just who he was after one question and she ushered him inside to have breakfast.

"Greer!" Tessa suddenly shouted as she came down the steps. "Why don't you go and play Final Fantasy? I want to see how much you've improved!" Greer nodded enthusiastically and went to set up the Nintendo. They only had the Crystal Chronicles Final Fantasy game, but Greer loved to play it. Link breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at Tessa. She was wearing a pair of the rough material…didn't she call them jeans? Also she wore a pair of white socks and a long-sleeved light blue top with a darker blue tank over it (though he didn't know it was called a tank). She also had a dark blue bandanna over her hair.

'So much for a peaceful morning. I'm not even usually dressed at this time of day on a Saturday!' Tessa sighed in her head. It was going to be a weird day for sure. "Umm, what are you doing here?" Tessa asked Link. She couldn't help but notice his clothes…she forgot how weird they were. Maybe she should get some clothes for him to fit in…wait! He wasn't going to stay! 'Why would he? Maybe he just fell down the well! He would surely want to go back?' Tessa didn't know why she was so eager to think he would go home…maybe because she didn't want to think about world traveling at the moment. Suddenly, a ball of pink light was in her vision, and she smiled. "Hello Navi!"

"You know, it's hard to get your sister to keep quiet." Navi murmured, and Tessa almost laughed. She knew the feeling.

"Malon wanted me to come here. She couldn't get any free time, so she said I should go." Link shrugged, and Tessa sweat dropped.

'Damn…'It wasn't that she disliked Link! She just…wanted a break. A nice long one. That, and she needed to study for her tests! Not that she usually did anyway…but still…

"Tessa…how about after all of your breakfast is done, you show him around a bit?" Her mother suggested. Tessa raised an eyebrow at her mother. Her mother plainly understood the look, but just smirked. "He would find it more fascinating than even your father." Tessa frowned.

"But it's…it's…Saratoga!" Tessa exclaimed. "What is so exciting here?"

"Everything is so exciting here! You only think you don't like it." Tessa's father jumped in. Her mother glared at him.

"You're the only one who likes it, now shut up and cook!" Tessa and Ava started laughing at the exchange, while Greer was too absorbed in trying to connect the cables into the television to even notice. "Well, you could show him what life in our world is like." Tessa's mother turned back to her, and Tessa just sighed.

"Then I would be lying to him. We live in the middle of NOWHERE." Tessa growled. Link looked at her curiously, but decided to not comment on it at the moment. Tessa suddenly turned to Link and smiled. "Well…would you like some breakfast? Dad's a really good cook." Link nodded his head and Tessa turned to her father. "I'll get you another plate then." Tessa opened one of the cabinets and took out a plate, and set it on the pile of plates that were already there.

After breakfast was finished, Tessa grabbed Link's wrist and dragged him upstairs into her parents' bedroom. Link looked around with wide eyes. The room was huge! At least, compared to what he was used to. Tessa looked at him with a quirked eyebrow. "Are you all right?" Link shook his head, and Tessa looked around. "oh right. This is the biggest room in the house…I think…Tessa frowned. "I'm pretty sure anyways. My parents like a lot of living space. My own room is smaller than this." Link shook his head and sighed. "Well, anyways, I should probably get you some clothes to wear." Tessa suddenly dived into the closet, and came out with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. "Try those on, I'll leave the room." Tessa left and closed the door behind her. She eyed the computer and sat down, logged on, and started to check her e-mail. Her best friend in New York had e-mailed her, so she clicked on it.

From: Silkybunny

To: TheYoukaiNightmare

I haven't heard from you in ages! Where have you been? You're family said you've been really sick lately! You better not die on me!

So anyways, how's life? It's ok over here on the East Coast. Homework sucks, but I figure you already knew that. When you get this you had better send me a reply!

I'll tell you more when you reply.

Jamie

Tessa twitched. Should she tell Jamie about this new development or not? Of course she should, but how would Jamie react?

Her thoughts were shot away when the door to her parents' bedroom was opened. Her eyes bugged out of her skull when Link stepped out. He looked so…normal…almost…the pointed ears kind of threw everything off, but other than that he was…hot…Tessa hit herself mentally for thinking such a thing. He wasn't from this world! He couldn't be hot! Even though her mind was thinking otherwise.

"Is it that bad?" Link asked, and Tessa almost choked.

"Bad…?" Tessa asked. She knew that word somewhere… "It's not bad! It looks great!" 'ACK! BAD THOUGHTS BAD THOUGHTS!' Tessa screamed in her mind.

But it was true. He did look great! He wore a somewhat large navy-blue t-shirt and a pair of jeans. His hair was longer than Tessa had thought, though not by much. It was held by in a very, very small low ponytail. All he needed were shoes and he would be ready to go anywhere! The ears could be a birth defect. That was the only thing that came to Tessa's mind.

"So, would you like to take a tour around Saratoga?" Tessa cringed when she said the name of her town. Link nodded, and Tessa sighed. "Hold on, I'll get some shoes." She went into the door behind her, and came out moments later with a pair of sneakers. She grabbed Link's arm and pulled him downstairs. She waited a moment for him to slide his boots on, and they headed outside.

"Town is a little bit of a walk, so you can ask me any questions you would like." Tessa sighed, and they began the walk. Link thought for a minute, and came up with a question.

"What was that box with the moving pictures?"

Tessa bit her lip. How would you explain a television set to somebody who didn't know anything about electricity? Well, she should at least attempt to explain.

"Well, it's called a television." From there, Tessa tried to explain it as best as she could, but found major difficulties. Finally, Link shook his head and asked another question, and another, and another, until they reached the town. Tessa had to tell him to keep quiet, because the other members of the town would be weirded out. Not that she cared about the other members of the town, she just didn't like attention. She showed Link around the town for a bit, until noon. Then they decided to go to the Cantina for some lunch.

"Tessa…I don't know what half of this stuff is." Link said. "I can't even read this!" Tessa gave him a look that said plainly 'Not too loudly!' Then Tessa sighed. "Would you like me to order for you?" Link nodded in reply. "Well then, I believe you would like a taco, and I'm not sure but would you like to try a soda?"

"What's a soda?"

"It's kind of a fizzy drink." Link shrugged, and Tessa sighed. "I'd go for Mountain Dew if I were you then."

When they took their orders, they just kind of sat there. That is, until one of Tessa's friends came in through the door.

"TESSA!" She ran up and hugged Tessa, and Link wondered what was going on, especially when another friend of hers joined in.

"Guys…need…oxygen…to…live…!" Tessa choked out, and the two girls let go of her. The shorter one of the two was even shorter than Tessa, but her hair was a light brown and reached down to her midback, and she had baby blue eyes. The other friend was about the same height as Tessa, just a little bit taller. She had dark brown hair, tanned skin, and she had darker blue eyes.

"Tessa! I see you're all better!" The taller of the two said. Tessa smiled and nodded her head.

"You're going to school on Monday, right?" The shorter one asked, partially glaring at Tessa. Tessa laughed nervously.

"Of course. I have ten tests to make up! I'm not exactly looking forward to it though."

"Who's this?" The taller one (Kristen) seemed to not remember that pointing was rude, but she did it anyways and pointed at Link. The shorter one (Maegan) looked over, and Tessa noticed her eyes had a curious glint to them. 'And they noticed the ears.' Tessa thought sarcastically.

"Oh that's a friend of mine from New York!" Tessa lied quickly.

"Really? I don't remember anything a guy friend…" Maegan murmured.

"Eh…well…there wasn't much to say about him!" On a normal level, that would have been rude, but both Link and Tessa understood that they were in a tight spot. Even Navi, who was hiding behind Link, understood.

"You have such long ears…what's your name?" Kristen asked. Tessa rolled her eyes. Her friends could be so blunt sometimes…

After the friends were introduced, they were seated somewhere across the restaurant.

"Those are two of my friends, as you might have gathered." Tessa sighed.

"You don't seem very happy, whether or not they're your friends." Link commented, and Navi agreed silently beside Link.

"Eh, well, it's complicated."

Link sensed that Tessa didn't really want to talk about it, so he left the topic alone. He wondered why, but she seemed kind of sad.

End of Chappie

Well, that one was a doozy. This is six pages, and I'm wondering how I managed that one. I couldn't really find a good ending spot until there. I was kind of getting frustrated with it then. So, I shall go now, so read and review!
