Chapter 2

"Hey! Ok, so I was thinking that we could meet my mom back in the Diner after school. I know it sounds lame, but I think she has some big thing planned for us, and you know how my mom can be. What's wrong?" After finishing her pancakes and going outside to meet her friend Malon, Zelda had been so deep in thought about what her mother might be planning, that she didn't notice her friend's distress.

Malon was pacing; back and forth and back and forth. It mad Zelda dizzy just watching.

"OK." Malon said in a distraught tone after a minute of pacing. "You know how my older brother Ian is going to college next year right?"

"Yes." Zelda said very slowly, preparing herself for any bad news that might hit her right in the face.

"Well…" Malon paused, letting her friend get ready for the big news. "Ian is really smart, I mean he's no Einstein, but he's reall.."

"I know all this just tell me the big news!" Zelda said impatiently.

"Ok, ok." Malon said pausing a minute to catch her breath. She was talking so fast she could hardly breathe. "Ian got into the University of Hyrule." The University of Hyrule was the best college in the area.

"Ok…" Zelda paused to see if Malon would go on. Instead she just made an excited face. "I'm failing to see the bad part here Mal."

"My parents want me to go to a good college like Ian!" Malon said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"No!" Zelda said sarcastically. "How dare they want to insure a good future for their daughter!"

Ignoring her friend's sarcasm, Malon said, "So they want me to go to one of those private schools. The schools that teach smarter kids, and give a better education." She said the dragged the word 'education', as if she was going to list more things after.

"No!" Zelda said. There was no sarcasm in her voice this time. Her best friend since Kindergarten was going to a different High School than she was. Zelda and Malon had have been in the same class since Kindergarten. Every group project, every team for gym, they've been in the same group. The only people how were closer than those two was Zelda and Amy. But Malon was even close friends with Amy.

"Well, come on. My mom wanted to drive us to school." Zelda said turning to go back into the Diner.

"Um, I think we may have missed the Aim train." (A/N: Aim train, Amy, Aim. Get it? Haha) Malon said looking down the road. "Amy has the attention span of a rodent."

They both started walking toward their last day at Hyrule Middle School.

After finishing her pancakes, Amy had snuck out of the Diner and into her car. She had thought that sneaking past Zelda and Malon would be hard, but it turned out to be easy. They were deep in conversation by the time she had finished her pancakes, so she went unnoticed.

'I don't know whether to feel insulted that they didn't notice me, or relieved that I snuck out unnoticed.' She thought to herself as she drove away.

She was going to the little store that she had started when Zelda was two years old. It was a little store called Constabulary Store. Constabulary had been the original name of the old store, and it turned out that it was cheaper to just add 'store' to the end of it instead of taking down 'constabulary', and then putting a new sign up. Amy thought it had a nice ring to it.

Her store was filled with just about everything you can think of. Think of any thing. A Pogo stick. That was in the store. A Toaster Oven. That was in the store. A fishing pole. That was in the store. She even had spare tires. Anything you could possibly imagine was in the store. The store was kind of in "organized chaos".

"Hey, Amy!" Joe said as she walked past the check out counter. Joe was one of her three employees. He sat on a small stool behind the counter reading a magazine. "Its been kind of a slow day today."

"That's nice Joe." Amy said with fake enthusiasm as she hurried by. She half walked, half jogged, through the isles of stuff, to the back room.

"Hey Kent?" She called into the stacks of boxes.

"Yeah!" A voice came from her left side, or maybe it was her right.

"Kent, Its me, Trixie, from the other night. You never called me." Amy said in a sexy voice.

"Be right with you Am- ow!" Kent called from the stacks of boxes. There was a loud CRASH!

"Hurry please." Amy said still using her sexy voice.

A few moments later a guy, who was probably Kent, came out carrying a few boxes.

"You need help carrying these too your car?" Kent asked.

"Yeah sure, hey Kent?" Amy said taking a box from him. "You know, customers aren't very happy when they get damaged, or broken things, and if customers aren't happy, then I'm not happy. When I'm not happy, you're not happy."

"To hell with the customers." Kent said grabbing a cart and putting the boxes on it.

"And that my friend, is why you work in the back." She said helping him put the boxes on the cart.

"It won't happen again." Kent said.

"It better not, because if it does, don't be surprised if you find me dead in the gardening section, strangled by a hose that doesn't work right." Amy said as they wheeled he cart from the back storage, through the isles, and to the back of her car.

"What is this stuff?" Kent asked as they unloaded the boxes.

"It's a surprise for Zelda." Amy said with a smug smile on her face.
