/ So, thanks again for reviewing, they make me so happy! I'd do the happy dance, but my dog would just stare at me like I'm crazy...
Chapter 3
The Forest Haven and the Return to Outset Island
"I'm sooooo bored! Talking boat thing, do something funny!" Link said with a small pout. They had been traveling for two days now, and they both hated each other extremely. "I already told you, I have a name!" the boat shouted.
"Yeah, a lame name! Honestly, if there's some sort of dangerous thing happening, and there's a cannon ball headed straight for you or something, what am I supposed to do? Shout out, Hey! The King of Red Lions, look out! By the time I get all that out you'll be dead!"
"Well that's my name, so quit calling me Talking boat thing!" The King of Red Lions said grumpily.
Link was silent for a few minutes until a thought hit him. "Oh! I know, I'll call you Larry!"
"…Larry?!"
"Yep! It's great! It sort of suits you."
"No it doesn't."
"Larry, don't be so grumpy."
The boat gave a frustrated sigh. "Oh thank goodness! We're here!" it said suddenly.
"Hooray!" Link shouted as he spotted the large islands that was their destination. "Now Link, on this island you'll find the Great Deku Tree, treat him with respect and he might just give you the pearl." the boat said in a lecturing tone.
"Yeah, whatever. So long loser!" Link shouted as he went splashing off to dry land. It took Link a while to make it to where the Deku Tree was. First he had to use his grappling hook to swing around, then he missed where he had been intending to land and instead he fell into the ocean again. That happened more than Link would care to admit. Then there was this weird squid thing in the water which Link had to run away from, that took awhile too. Finally though, he was directly in front of the large tree that his boat had told him about. "Wake up!" Link shouted as he began to hit the tree with his sword. Suddenly a whole bunch of green monsters appeared all over the Deku Tree's face. "Jelly monsters! Nooooo!" Link shouted and began to run away to the safety of his boat. He accidentally tripped, however, and he ran into the tree instead. All of the green monsters were shaken off, and they fell to the ground around Link, much to his dismay.
Link began to scream and run around in circles until most of the monsters had been trampled upon and were turned into a scoop-able substance. "Jelly! I'll sell this for a lot of money!" Link said happily, before he realized that he didn't have any bottles. "Darn it all, I should've kept that one I stole from the scary bird girl!" Link said, giving the large tree another kick just for good measure. The tree woke up at this point, and he started cursing at Link in another language for waking him up. "It talks! Burn the evil tree!" Link shouted, and he started to eagerly rub two sticks together. Before he could get any fire going though, the tree recovered and raised up the giant lily pad that Link was standing on. "Howdy!" Link said to the tree, who was apologizing for his sudden outburst.
"Were you sent here by the King of Red Lions?" the tree asked curiously.
"Nope, I came here on my own! Stupid tree! No one tells me what to do!" Link shouted, beginning to rub his two sticks together again.
"Well then, did you come here by sailing on the King of Red Lions?" the tree asked, starting to get annoyed at the small boy.
"Nope! I sailed on some stupid boat called Larry."
"I see… well then, no pearl for you!"
"What? But I want it! I want it, I want it, I want it!!" Here Link began to throw his sticks at the tree as he went through a temper tantrum.
"Stop that!" the tree said, shaking the large lily pad to try and get Link to fall off.
"Great Deku Tree, something terrible has happened!" A small voice said all of the sudden.
"Oh what now?" the tree asked as a weird looking little plant thing flew over to them.
"It's Makar or whatever his name is! He fell into the forest and got eaten by a weird plant thing!" the little plant guy said anxiously.
"What?! Again? How many times is he going to have to be eaten before he learns? Oh well, I guess I'll have to send someone over to help…" the tree looked over at Link, who was now using his grappling hook to continually hit the large tree. "You there! Go into the forest and save Makar."
"Never!"
"I'll give you the pearl if you do."
"Oh fine." Link said as he was lowered down to the ground. "Where's this stupid forest place?"
"It's over there." the Deku Tree said, forgetting that he didn't have any fingers to point with.
"Stupid tree! I'll find it on my own!" Link said, and went stomping off, accidentally falling right into a large flower. "Ahhhhh! It's ugly! Get me out of here!" Link shouted, right before the flower spat him out. Link was thrown through the air until he finally landed on one of the Deku Tree's many branches. "Ahha! I'll just take this and use it as a parachute!" Link said as he grabbed one of the tree's leaves. Little did Link know, though, that this leaf was a magical leaf. Instead of letting a person glide down gently, it made a person fall to the ground really fast! "Noooooo!" Link shouted as he discovered this the hard way. "Stupid leaf!" Link said, kicking the leaf after he had recovered from his hard landing.
"Oh here, I'll help you get to the forest!" said the little plant guy.
"But you're creepy!" Link protested as the plant picked him up and flew him outside.
"Ok, get ready!" the plant said as they started to fly over the forest.
"For what?" Link asked, right before the plant dropped him. "Nooooo! Stupid creepy plant thing!" Link shouted as he fell into the dark forest. He landed in a soft pile of leaves in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by thick trees and weird flying things. Link gave out a high pitched scream and began to run around, batting away at the flying things. After a few minutes of doing this, Link stumbled upon a large chest that was just sitting there. "Money?" Link asked as he opened the chest. "No money. It's just a stupid boomerang!" He threw his newly acquired item away from him in frustration before starting to run away from the flying things again. It took him a while to realize that all of the monsters that had been previously chasing him were now dead. Killed by the boomerang that he had thrown (and was still flying around, bouncing off of walls and things).
"Ahha! I got them all! I am Super Link!" Link shouted, right before his boomerang came back to him and hit him rather hard in the head. "Stupid boomerang! Take that!" Link shouted, and he threw the boomerang once again, only to have it come back and hit him for a second time. "Stupid boomerang! Take that!" he threw it again…
…two hours later…
Link had finally stopped trying to throw his new weapon and he was now headed off in a random direction that he had picked, hoping it would lead to the little plant guy that he was searching for. He soon entered a large room that had a very large plant in the center of it. On top of this plant was a little plant guy, hopping around and singing a little song. "Awww, he's so cute!" Link said, right before the large door behind him slid shut with a thud. "Let me out, let me out!" Link shouted, banging on the thick wood with his fists. "Stupid door! Take this!" Link threw his boomerang at the door, already forgetting his previous experience with the weapon. The boomerang hit the door and then bounced back, just missing Link and heading straight for the little plant guy. The little plant guy, who was oblivious to all this, was still hopping around and singing his little song when the boomerang hit him and sent him flying off of the large plant he had been on.
"Hey, watch it!" the little plant guy said.
"Are you Makar?" Link asked as he picked up his boomerang and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Sure am! And you interrupted my song! Now you must die!"
"Oh no!" Link shouted and made a run for the door that was still sealed.
Makar stared at him, "I was just joking you know…"
"Oh. I knew that!" Link said, giving a nervous laugh.
"Well, I guess I should be going back to the Great Deku Tree now, bye swordsman!" Makar said and he flew off, leaving a very scared Link behind. "Wait! How do I get out?" Link shouted after him. "Well that's just great." He would've complained more, but he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from in back of him. He slowly turned around and saw that the large plant was starting to attach itself to the ceiling with long vines. Link gave out a scream and then started to run around in circles, shouting out that the plant would never catch him. Just as he finished saying that the plant scooped him up and tossed him into a wall. "Ahha! No one messes with Super Link! Take this stupid plant!" Link shouted as he tossed his boomerang again. The boomerang cut through all the vines, causing the large plant to fall back to the ground. "Muhahahaha! I got you!"
Link started to do a victory dance, which probably would've lasted for the rest of the day, had the doors not suddenly opened. "Yay!" Link shouted before running back outside. It took him awhile to find his way back out of the forest, since he had no idea where the entrance was to begin with, but he finally found it. If he had been paying attention, he would've realized that he was at an extreme height from the ocean, but, as usual, he wasn't, so he fell all the way down. He splashed around in a panic for awhile in the warm waters until he finally spotted Beedle's ship shop floating around. "Now I can get another pear!" Link said excitedly as he pulled himself out of the water. The minute Link entered the ship he pointed at a pear and said, "I want it!"
"Thank you! Now you have one point!" Beedle said after Link had paid for it.
"One!? But I had two before!" Link whined, stuffing his pear into his bait bag.
"I don't remember that, gwahahahahaha!" Beedle shouted before pushing Link out of his boat and into the ocean. Fortunately for Link though, Beedle's ship drifted back to dry land whenever no one was steering it; so Link didn't have far to swim before he reached his boat. "Did you get the pearl yet?" his boat asked in a bored voice.
"I'm working on it!" Link shouted as he marched back to the tree, his clothes soaking wet.
When Link finally arrived, he saw that the tree and the little plant guys were having a party. They were all singing and dancing and having a good time, until Link came in that is. "All right, party over! Give me the stupid pearl!" Link shouted as he made his way to the giant lily pad. Everyone stared at him silently as the Deku Tree scolded Link for interrupting a very important ceremony. "Now I can't make more seeds, and now we won't have any forests on any of the other islands!"
"Well so? Does it look like I care? I just want the pearl!"
"Oh fine, here!" The tree said, tossing the pearl at Link.
"Muhahahahaha! I now have two pearls! I can't wait to sell these!" Link shouted before he went running off, much to the relief of the native inhabitants of the island. Link repeated his impatience on waiting to sell the pearls when he arrived back at his boat. "You can't sell them you fool! We need them!" the boat said as Link tried to figure out where to put all his items. "You're no fun at all Larry!" Link said.
"Stop calling me that!"
"What, Larry?"
"Yes!"
"…But it's your name!"
"No it's not!"
"I don't believe you! So, where are we going next?" Link asked, getting tired of having these types of conversations with the boat.
"We are going to see Jabun, he has the last pearl."
"Oh finally! The last one! Then we will be rich!"
"No, then you will be tested to see if you are worthy."
"Worthy for what?" Link asked as he started to wave his wind baton around in the hopes of repeating the Wind Requiem. "Worthy of saving the world, pay attention!" the boat said. "Oh but, I don't want to save the world!" Link protested. "I just want money!"
"Well maybe you'll get money when you save the world." the boat said in a patient voice.
"Ooooo, really?"
"No, now let's go already!"
"Oh fine!" Link said and he set the sail up, not really knowing where he was supposed to be going. It took a few minutes, but the boat finally realized that they were heading in completely the wrong direction. After berating Link about this (which made the boat feel slightly better), they were soon headed in the proper direction.
…four days later…
"How much longer? I'm getting bored!" Link asked in a whiny voice.
"We would've been there by now if you didn't have to stop at every single island we come across!" the boat grumbled. "And not only that, but you spend four hours on each one, just dancing!"
"It's not dancing! It's exercising you stupid boat! I'd like to see you stay in one position hour after hour, doing absolutely nothing!"
"…Link, I'm a boat! I've been doing that my whole life!"
"Well that doesn't count, you're used to it by now." Link said simply. "Oh hey look, another island! Land ho!" Link shouted, right before they crashed into it and got stuck on the beach. "Oh good, we're almost there!" the boat said. From his position on top of one of the rocks, he could just make out the island that they were trying to get to in the distance. A few minutes later and they were off. The boat was anxious to get the last pearl, and Link was just excited to be meeting a giant fish, "First, I'm going to laugh at him, then I'll tease him! Or should I do it the other way around…"
"Link, Jabun is a very wise sage, I don't think he'd appreciate it if you started laughing at him."
"Well he should've thought of that before he decided to be a giant fish!" Link argued.
Larry was silent for a few seconds as he considered whether or not it was even worth it to respond. Deciding that it wasn't, the boat was quiet for the rest of the way. As they neared the island a large storm started to pour down on them, much to Link's annoyance, who was already wet as it was. "I hate sailing, I don't think I want to be a pirate anymore." Link mumbled as he pulled in next to the island, which appeared to have been pulled apart by something very powerful. Link splashed over to the beach and looked around, "Well?! Where's the stupid fish?" Link shouted at the boat over the crashing waves. "I don't think he's here, something terrible happened here…" the boat said.
"Now you're just being pessimistic Larry."
"I'm not-"
" 'Hoy there Link!" a loud voice interrupted the boat before he could finish.
"Oh great, it's the stupid bird again. You just keep turning up like a bad penny!"
"Link, I came to tell you some important news!" Quill said as he landed next to the boy. "Have you seen this island Link?"
"Uh, yeah! I've been here for, like, ten minutes!"
"Ganondorf's forces did this to the island, since then it has not stopped raining. The one you are looking for, Jabun, is still alive though. He is seeking shelter at an island you well know."
"Windfall?" Link asked after a short pause.
"…No."
"Dragon Roost Island?"
"No! Outset Island!"
"What?! I bet he's going to eat all of my soup!" Link said angrily.
"The pirates were trying to get there as well, but they needed bombs, so they went to Windfall Island."
"Ahha! I knew it was Windfall Island! That was my first choice too!"
"They should still be there, so you might be able to get some bombs of your own." Quill said, interrupting Link's victory dance.
"Yeah, whatever," Link said as he started to head back to his boat.
"Good luck Link!" Quill said as he flew off, back in the direction of his home.
"So, back to Windfall I guess." the boat said.
"Windfall!? I thought we wanted to go home!" Link said, blinking in surprise.
"We need bombs you fool! Now get moving!"
"Alright fine!"
When they arrived at Windfall it was still dark, something neither of them seemed to notice as they were so used to time stopping on all the main islands. "Oh hey look! It's the pirates! Yarrr!" Link started to shout in his excitement as he stared at the giant ship that was docked nearby.
"Keep your voice down fool!" The boat said. "Now, try to find out what the pirates are up to, and go get some bombs, and get me a vanilla fudge sundae!"
"…But you're a boat! I'll just get myself a sundae and eat it, right in front of you! Muhahahaha!" And with that Link went running off to town, still cackling. He only made it halfway, however, before the creepy old man came running up to him. "Hey hey hey," he said, doing his weird bowing motion again. "You who has promised to rescue Maggie, you must not dawdle!"
"Freaky old man, I didn't promise anything! Besides, she should be back by now, the pirates rescued her a while ago…"
"Oh, well, maybe they did… I saw a pretty pony!"
"Yeah, whatever." Link said and went running off before the man could think of anything else to say.
"Ah, hello there!" said a voice as Link passed by the café area.
"Hey, it's you! I remember you! The guy who had the sail!" Link said happily.
"Yes, it is I!" the man said, he didn't seem at all upset at Link. "Thanks to you, I have opened up my store, yes, all thanks to you!"
"Me? What did I do?" Link asked curiously.
"If you had not stolen my sail, I would never have found out that it had insurance on it! I got two hundred rupees for it!"
"Two hundred! Aw man, I would've sold the sail days ago if I had known it was worth so much!" Link said, crossing his arms.
"Yes yes! Thank you young man! You will be my business partner, no?"
"No."
"But together we will make much money, no?"
"Money?" Link asked, perking up.
"Yes yes! Lots of money!"
"I'll do it! What am I doing?"
"You will take this, yes?" the man in the blue coat said as he handed Link a wilting flower.
"What am I supposed to do with this thing?" Link asked as he tried to get the flower to stand up straighter.
"You must find some loser who will trade something better for it! Then you mail the newer and better thing back here, and we get more money because right now, we make no money!"
"I'm not surprised, look at what you're trying to sell!" Link said as he stuffed the nearly dead flower into his delivery bag.
"Yes well, we will soon have better things!"
"Yeah, whatever," Link said casually. "Do you know where the pirates are?"
"Pirates?! They will steal our flower! We must close up shop now!" the man said.
Link sighed and then left the little man as he ran around his shop, sealing everything in his new safe. "Well, I guess I could get the bombs while I look for the pirates," Link said as he marched through the rain. Surprisingly enough, the shop appeared to be open. The lights were shining brightly through the slightly stained windows and noises could be heard from inside. Link knocked obnoxiously on the small door when he found it to be locked. "Uh, we're closed! Go away!" said a voice that sounded suspiciously familiar to Link.
"But the little sign says open!" Link protested. The door opened partially and a hand came through, flipped the sign to closed, and then closed the door again. "Aw man! I just missed it!" Link said, kicking at a rock.
"Hey, you there!" said a voice from behind Link. The green clad boy turned around and saw four boys walking towards them. "We got somethin' to say to you!" one of the boys said. "Really? Do you know another way into the bomb shop?" Link asked excitedly.
"Maybe we do, maybe we don't."
"Well, which is it?" Link demanded.
"Hey, wanna play a game of hide and seek?" another one of the boys asked.
"Um, no."
"Well fine! There's a secret entrance to the shop over there. We're the Killer Bees! Buzz buzz!" and with that the four boys went stomping off.
"…Ooook then," Link said before he made his way to the back of the shop. He had to climb around quite a bit, but he eventually made it to a small hole that led into the bomb shop. When he made it through he not only found the bombs that he needed, all packaged up and ready to go, but the pirates as well. They appeared to be arguing about whether or not they should stay for awhile and get something to eat. The big stupid pirate was siding with the staying part, but Tetra was saying that they had to hurry to Outset before that island was destroyed as well. "Eh? Miss Tetra, it sounds like you care more about the island then the treasure." said a geeky looking pirate with broken glasses. None of the pirates knew why he insisted on wearing them, as he didn't even have bad eyesight. "Treasure?! I love treasure!" Link shouted.
Fortunately his loud voice was covered by Tetra's, "Don't be stupid! I like treasure!" she protested. She looked up at this point and saw Link's head poking out from the second floor. "Oh my gosh! It's that stupid kid again with the crazy sister!" she shouted. Link hid just as the other pirates looked up at where their captain was looking. "Um, I mean, yeah food, sounds good!" Tetra said, giving a nod.
"Hooray! Food!" the pirates said, and they went running out, completely forgetting Tetra's previous outburst.
"All the bombs are in my ship's super secret storage area Link." she told Link as he jumped down from his hiding spot.
"What, you mean the room that you have to swing around to get to?" Link asked.
"Um, maybe…"
"Been there, done that!" Link said with a wave of his hand.
"Well fine, be that way! But listen, I'm only staying here until morning so you better get there before then." Tetra said with a warning frown.
Link snickered, "It's never morning here loser!" he said and went running out.
"Link, get back here!" Tetra shouted. Link came back inside with a small pout. "You need the password to get in."
"Oh wow! A password now! You guys are moving up!" Link said sarcastically.
"The password is: Sharks. Don't forget it!"
"Ok then! So long loser!" Link shouted and went running back outside and into the pouring rain.
He ran straight to Tetra's ship and knocked on the door that led to the lower decks. Niko's voice could be heard from the other side, "What do pirates fear more than sharks?"
"Well?!"
"Um, sharks?" Link said, wondering if Tetra had been teasing him before.
"Right right, you can come in!" Niko said.
"Huh," Link said before he entered the ship. "To the super secret storage area!" he shouted as he ran down the hallway. He stopped short when he noticed that no one was guarding Tetra's room this time. "Muhahahaha!" Link began to laugh as he stepped inside. He examined her pictures, but all that was there was a bunch of boring sea charts. In one of them, Tetra had connected a few of the islands to form a triangle with an upside down triangle in it. "Silly Tetra, she thought it was a connect-the-dots game!" Link said as he erased her drawing so it looked better. "There, well I'd better get going. No one will ever know I was here, because I am Super Link!" Link shouted as he went running out, leaving a large puddle of rain water behind from where he had been standing.
"Hey! It's my old swabbie Link!" Niko said happily when Link rounded the corner.
"Oh great, it's you," Link mumbled. "Look little guy, I don't have time for this. I need to get the bombs!"
"Oh, ok! Here, I'll set it all up for you! Now this test is a lot harder than the other one you took!" Niko said cheerfully. "You have to swing on the lanterns like before, but this time there's no platforms in-between the ropes! Also, if you aren't fast enough, a bunch of metal bars come down and block the door to the super secret storage area! Got it?"
"I'm already here," Link shouted across the room to him.
"What?! Oh fine, just give me a minute to get there…" It took Niko forever to get to where Link was waiting impatiently. "Ok, go ahead and grab the bombs!" Niko said when he finally arrived. "Yay! Bombs! They're all mine!" Link shouted as he started to throw them around in random directions.
"Hey, careful!" Niko shouted as he nearly got hit by one. "Well see you around I guess Link," he said after Link had finally ran out of bombs.
"Yeah, see you," Link said, grabbing more bombs before he left.
Before Link exited the ship though, he stomped on the switch so that the metal bars came down, trapping Niko in the super secret storage area. "Muhahahahahahaha! So long loser!" Link shouted before running outside. "Now, I have till daytime, so I guess I can take my time!" Link said as he walked along the cliff's edge. "Oh hey look! A crazy dancing guy!" Link shouted. Sure enough there was a strange man dancing next to someone's gravestone.
"Oh, hi there! I was so busy dancing, that I didn't see little old you standing there!" the man said.
"I'm not little! I'm Super Link!"
"Say, do you know how the song goes? I've got the rhythm down, but I just can't remember that magical melody." the man said in a frustrated tone.
"I know a magical melody!" Link said, and he pulled out his wind baton. He waved it around in random directions until the man got suddenly excited. "That's it! Un cha! Un cha!"
"That's it guy! I'll teach it to you!"
So the man taught the melody to Link, but little did Link know that it turned night into day. "I'll play it!" Link said happily. He realized his mistake when the sun suddenly started to rise. He turned around to see the pirates making a mad dash for their ship. "Hurry up, the sun is up!" Tetra could be heard yelling. Link gave out a high pitched scream before playing the song again. The pirates looked around confusedly when the sun suddenly set again. "That's odd, oh well, back to the café!" Tetra shouted, and they all went running back. "Whew!" Link said.
"Why guy? Why does my dancing do nothing to the sky?" the man asked, still doing his weird dance moves. Link went running off back to his boat, eager to get away from the strange man.
"Did you get the bombs?" the boat asked the minute he saw Link approach. It had taken Link awhile to find the boat, as it had decided to move around and dock somewhere else. "Yes, I got the bombs! Now we can go to Outset and have soup! Yum!" Link said as he set up the sail. It didn't take them long to reach their destination, there were a few delays from an insistent shark (which made Link realize why pirates feared them so much), but other than that they had no problems in reaching Link's old home. "Link, have you noticed? No time has passed since our departure from Windfall," the boat said, looking around.
"Well duh! I told you!" Link said as he splashed over to the island's shore. He wasn't too concerned with getting wet, as the storm was still raging overhead, and he was soaking wet already anyway. "You have plenty of time to say hello to your friends and family. Once you are done, come back here and we will get the pearl from Jabun," the boat continued, pointedly ignoring Link. "Yeah, whatever. I'm getting my soup!" Link shouted as he ran towards his grandmother's house.
"Granny! I'm home!" Link shouted the minute he had entered the house. He gasped when he saw that his grandmother wasn't getting up to great him, or, more importantly, spooning out some soup. "Link, don't go, don't leave your poor grandma all alone!" his grandmother mumbled.
"Oh you're no good at all!" Link said. "I'll just get my own soup," he said as he scooped out some soup from the pot that was boiling over the kitchen fire. "Muhahahaha! Soup!" Link drained the whole bowl in one gulp, only to wish that he hadn't a few seconds later. "This stuff tastes horrible! Grandma! You can't cook anymore! You've failed me!" Link said before stomping out of the house to say hello to the rest of the village. He stopped by the pig man's house first, stopping in surprise when he saw what was in the fenced in area. The little black pig that he had caught was now huge, towering over Link as it thudded over to him to see who he was. "Giant pig! It'll kill us all!" Link shouted, startling the poor pig. Link ran screaming into the pig man's house, only to be hit on the head by a heavy rolling pin.
"Ow!" Link shouted. "What's that for?"
"Link! It's really you!" said the pig man's wife, who had been the one who had hit him. "Sorry, I thought you were one of those monsters trying to get in. Look pig man!" the woman said, referring to her husband. "It's Link!"
"Link! Guess what?" the pig man said.
"What?" Link asked cautiously.
"I just saw a…a wild pig! Just outside!"
"That's your pig you fool!" Link shouted. "I'm out of here!"
"Wait! You should say hello to the boys, they'll be so excited to see you!" the woman said happily.
"The boys? You don't mean… booger kid, do you?" Link asked anxiously. The pig man nodded sadly. "Noooooo!" Link went running outside and quickly ran into the safety of the nearest house. Which happened to be Orca's. "Ohhhh Link, why didn't you tell me what had happened to Aryll, that wasn't very nice!" Orca said, crossing his arms.
"Well I tried to tell you!" Link said in an annoyed tone.
"Yeah, whatever. What say you Link, would you like more training in the sword?"
"No! I'm Super Link, I don't need training fool!"
Link went running out and decided that he would visit the big headed freak, just for fun. The minute he opened the door he could hear the freak's angry voice yelling at someone. At first Link thought he was yelling at the woman who liked to carry pots around all the time, but then he realized that the object of all that attention was a small green box. Link burst out laughing, "I forgot I mailed that to you!" he said happily as Tingle's voice insisted that they play a game, because he was bored. "So, he returns at last! I've got a few things to say to you!" The freak said angrily, throwing the box into one of his pots.
"Now freakishly mutated grandfather, calm down." the woman said, smiling warmly at Link. "Welcome back!" she said happily. "You're grandmother has been sick ever since you left. So I came here to see my freakishly mutated grandfather to see if he had any ideas."
"Granny is sick?! Since when?" Link asked, throwing a book around just for fun.
"Since you left." the woman said, placing a pot on her head for no apparent reason.
"Oh."
"Yes, and I think I have an idea on how to heal your grandmother too!" the freak said happily. "We have been making a medicine in her house, and it's nearly ready."
"Wait a minute, that stuff in the pot was medicine!?" Link shouted, finally realizing why the 'soup' had tasted so horrible.
"Well yeah, it is almost finished, all we need is a fairy to keep her from getting worse until the medicine is done." the freak continued. "Now, go into the forest and get a fairy!"
"Never!"
"…But your grandmother needs it Link," the woman said.
"Oh fine, I'll do it."
"Link, there are monsters in the forest, so you should try throwing rocks at them! Just pick them up and-" but before the woman could finish Link went storming out of the house. "He's so rude!" the woman said in an annoyed tone.
Meanwhile, Link had entered the forest and was now struggling to lift the heavy rock that blocked the way to the fairy's home. It took him awhile to remember about his new bombs, and he was soon throwing them all over the place, trying to hit the rock. Unfortunately his aim hadn't improved at all and he was soon on his last bomb. "Larry was wrong, this is the only way to get rid of rocks!" Link said grumpily as he simply held the last bomb in his hands, waiting for it to blow up. A few seconds later and he was down the hole, rubbing a sore arm from the impact. "Where's a fairy?" Link asked as he entered the strange underground room. Suddenly a tall fairy came out of nowhere; she had a flower on her head and she was swinging around, humming a little song. "Stupid fairy, get in the bottle!" Link shouted up at her as he held out a bottle that he had 'borrowed' from the freak. "I've never met someone as rude as you!" the fairy declared, glaring down at Link.
"Yeah, whatever. Look, here's the deal, my grandmother is really sick and if she doesn't get better then I'll never get some soup! So if you would just get into the bottle so you can heal her, then I'll never bother you again, ok?"
"So… you mean to say that you came all this way for your grandmother?" the fairy asked in a gentle voice.
"No, I said I came all this way so I could get soup! Pay attention!"
"You are such a kind boy!" the fairy said happily, ignoring Link. "Here, take this." she said, and she handed Link a large wallet. "Now you can hold more rupees!"
"Sweet! I love money!" Link shouted as he turned the wallet upside down and started to shake it. "Hey, there's nothing in here! I hate you!"
"Well, I have to go now, farewell!" the fairy said as she sunk back into the fountain below her.
"Wait! What about soup?!" Link shouted after her, but he was too late as she had already disappeared. "Noooooo!" Suddenly a bunch of little fairies came swarming around him, waving their little wands around. "It's the attack of the killer fairies! Get away from me!" Link started to swing his bottle around in his haste to shoo the little fairies away. "Oh hey look, I caught one! Muhahahahahaha!" Link quickly stuck the cork in the bottle so the fairy couldn't escape before he went running back outside, leaving the other fairies behind. He had to run past a whole bunch of monsters before he finally managed to exit the forest. He was just about to cross the bridge to get back to the village, when he realized that there wasn't any bridge. The storm had completely knocked it down. "These people are so slow at fixing things!" Link complained as he looked around, trying to find a way to get across.
He finally decided that he would have to make a jump for it, since he had no way to get across. Right before he was about to do this potentially fatal move, however, a large leaf came out of nowhere and smacked him in the face. Link grabbed it and pulled it off, looking to see where it had come from. He found the culprit to be one of the small plant things that lived on Forest Haven. "The Greet Deku Tree said that you did the whole thing wrong and that you're supposed to have that leaf," the plant thing said. "You can use it to fly around and all that stuff. Bye!" and with that the little plant guy went flying off, only to be swept away in the powerful winds. Link laughed in amusement at that for awhile before finally trying out his new leaf. Unfortunately he didn't realize that he was supposed to have changed the wind direction first, so he ended up just hovering in place as he tried to go one way while the wind pushed him the other way. He eventually slowly glided down to the stormy ocean below. "I still can't swim!" Link shouted as the large waves tossed him around for awhile. He finally managed to make it to shore; and he quickly went running off, back towards his grandmother's house.
He stopped when he saw the grass cutting man's house nearby. With a shrug he decided that his grandmother wasn't going anywhere, and he entered the house. "Link! I'm still trying to cut my grass, but whenever I go outside, there are these scary monsters out there!" the man said.
"I didn't see anything…" Link said as he tried to grab a rupee that was under the man's counter.
"You should stay at home until morning, it's much safer."
"Ok!" So Link went running back outside, only to be blocked by a bunch of those jelly monsters. "Money!" Link shouted at them as he began to trample them. "Ahha!" He was just about to scoop them up when he remembered that the fairy was still in his bottle. "Hmm, soup, or lots of money?" Link pondered. He stood in the rain for a long time, trying to figure out what to do. Before he could make a decision, however, the remains of the jelly monsters disappeared. "My money! Nooooo!" Link shouted, and then made his way back to his grandmother's house, muttering miserably to himself.
He entered the house and then went over to his grandmother. "Here you go Granny, I got a fairy just for you!" he shouted at her, incase she was sleeping. "Oh fine, just take it," Link said. He opened up the bottle and released the fairy, who had been starting to get slightly cramped in her small confinement. "Free!" The fairy said in a high pitched voice which was barely audible. She spun around a few times, looking for someone to heal until she spotted Link, who was waiting impatiently for his grandmother to get better. The fairy circled Link a few times, much to Link's dismay. "No stupid fairy! Heal the old lady!" Link shouted at her, but it was too late. The fairy had already recovered Link's hearts and was moving away. "Nooooo! Now I won't get soup or money!" he shouted before he started to cry.
Muhahahaha, I have left you all with an evil cliffie! Teehee! Hope you all liked it!
