Authors Note: Banana is back again with an all new chapter! (Get excited.) So yeah. Thanks for the reviews. And Theodore Hastings; you gave me an idea. ;) (For those who don't know, he said that I should do something with Zelda hating being called a princess.)
So, I was reading through my previous chapters the other day, and realized that I'm a pretty bad writer. So sorry for all of you that have to deal with that. I felt really bad about it… but I'm honestly trying to get better. :/
And now… CHAPTER 6. WHOO.
P.S. I played Twilight princess on the GameCube, so Lake Hylia, Gerudo Desert, etc. is on the west side of Hyrule. Sorry if this confuses anyone, because I know that the GameCube and the Wii maps are flipped. This is just how I know the map to be. So think of it as the GameCube map!

"Hey Zel, wake up. Come on! Wake up! We've got to go!" I heard a booming voice yell.
"Okay, okay, just stop yelling!" I said; my head pounding as I sat myself up on the bed. I tried to remember where I was, but I couldn't. Every time I thought about last night, all I saw was a blur.
"Zel, I'm whispering. Wow, you must have a pretty bad hangover if you think I'm yelling." I looked at him with a puzzled expression on my face. Hangover? Where was I? He must have read my mind because he said, "You're at Telma's. Last night you had a little too much to drink and you kind of, well, got really drunk. Then this guy came when I was taking you to this room, and he was hitting on you, and I just, I got so mad, and I just" I stopped him before he could say anything else. I was vaguely aware of what happened last night. Unfortunately, that was the most vivid thing I remembered of the whole night.
"Thanks, Link. But since we don't have much time, I think we should get going," I said, getting up from the bed and walking out the door.
When I walked out though, I gasped at what I saw. It was the man that we saw last night, still laying on the floor, in the exact same spot we left him. Link came out of the room, carrying our belongings and seeing what I was still gaping at. He dropped our bags and squatted, checking the man for a pulse.
"He's still alive, just sleeping. He couldn't even get off his lazy butt." Link said, kicking the man's leg. The man stirred a bit, and before he waked up, we grabbed our bags and walked out of the bar. I was surprised when I saw that it was still dark out. It was probably five in the morning.
"Why are we leaving so early?" I asked, looking at the moon, low in the sky.
"We've got a long way to go to get to the Great Fairy. We can use all the time we can get." Link said, walking up the stairs that lead to the south alleyway of castle town.
We then walked in silence to the west exit of castle town, the only noises we heard being those of distant Kagaroks.
"Wait," I said, stopping dead in my tracks. Link turned around to look at me. "We left Epona on the east side of Castle Town. Shouldn't we go that way?"
"I have my ways." He said, smirking and turning back around and walking west again. I rolled my eyes at his attempt to be mysterious and followed him.
Once we exited Castle Town, Link brought out a strange looking whistle and blew a sweet tune into it. I then heard a whinny, and from out of nowhere, Epona came, galloping to Link.
"Where did she come from?" I said; my mouth agape.
Link just shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, but she always comes." We boarded Epona, and headed west toward Lake Hylia.
After about two hours, we reached Lake Hylia's bridge.
"Nice. Now how are we supposed to get down there? Jump?" I said, crossing my arms over my chest.
"Nope. We fly." He said, walking toward a colorful hut. I ignored his second attempt at trying to be mysterious and we walked into the hut.
It was the weirdest place. There was no furniture, just a ladder leading to a balcony. But the strangest part was that there were cuccos all over the place. What kind of place was this?
"Well, hi there! Welcome to Falbi's Flight by Fowl!" an extremely odd looking clown said. "Are you ready for a flight full of dreams and sweet, sweet bonuses? A Cucco-powered ride around Lake Hylia? You will LOVE it! Next up for fantastication… ONE BIG GUY! Ooh and a new customer! The princess if I'm not mistaken!" he said, bowing an awkward bow. "Okay, that's 20 twenty rupees each. This brings us to a grand total of 40 rupees!" Link then handed the clown forty rupees. "Alright partner! Just grab a cucco of any color and try to sail to the Isle of Riches!" I finally realized what we were here for. We were going to fly down the Lake Hylia. On a tiny cucco? I'd rather take my chances jumping.
Link grabbed a pepper colored cucco and it flapped around frantically. "Grab one. Stay right behind me."
Seeing as I had no choice, I grabbed a white cucco gingerly and stood on a ledge behind Link. He jumped off, holding the cucco high above his head. I looked down to the water below. Then, seeing my life flash before my eyes, I jumped.
Link landed with a soft thud below me and set his cucco down on the grass. I landed on the ground next to him, not so gracefully, and the cucco ran off.
"So princess, how was that?" he said, raising his eyebrows at me.
"Awful. I'd rather be Ganondorf's puppet again." I said.
"Yeah? Be careful what you wish for." He said, chuckling.
We then headed toward another hut, floating on the water. Another strange looking clown was standing in front of it. This one was far less happy looking.
"Hello. Care to take a flight?" he asked.
"Oasis flight please," said Link.
"Sure. That'll be twenty rupees for you and your lady friend," he obviously didn't realize I was the princess. Not that I care. It was kind of nice that I wasn't getting all the attention for once.
Link handed the clown twenty rupees and we went inside the small hut. It was quite a cramped space. After about ten seconds, there was rumbling, and I could feel the room moving. I closed my eyes, expecting the worst. I heard a loud bang, and when I opened my eyes again, I was soaring through the air, headed towards a large blur of sand. This time I wished I had a cucco. Link landed on the ground before me, sticking the landing. Once again, I was not as graceful as he was in landing.
"So now what?" I said; wiping the sand off that had accumulated on my dress.
"Now, we see the Great Fairy in the Cave of Ordeals." He said.
We walked a bit through the scorching desert, until we came upon a huge boar, just standing there. Strange, I thought only bublins had boars. Link had told me how he destroyed their camp.
"Why is that here?" I asked Link.
"I leave it here, just in case we ever need to be up here. And it looks as though I was right to do so," he said, boarding the huge beast. He held his hand out for me, and got on the giant. Without his strong arm to pull me up, I would have never got on it. It had to be about eight feet tall.
We rode for about an hour, and ended up next to a small plateau. We climbed up to the top of it, and I saw a small entrance into a cave. This must be what Link was talking about. The Cave of Ordeals.
Link
We had made it through the Cave fairly easily, only getting a few scratches and minor cuts. But what I didn't understand was why the Great Fairy was nowhere to be found. Usually after every ten floors, she would appear and I could talk to her. After I finished off the two Aeralfos and Darknut on the 48th floor, the door to the 49th floor opened up and we went through. I knew this floor had three darknuts, so it would be difficult, but not impossible.
As we jumped off the ledge to the floor below, I finished off one Darknut with ease. Zelda just stood back as I fought the other two, like I told her to. It would be too dangerous for her to fight. I delivered the ending blow to the last darknut, and sheathed my sword.
I suddenly turned around to see if the door was open. But instead of an open door, what greeted me was a sword in my arm and being kicked against the wall.
All I heard was Zelda yelling my name as the world went black.
Authors Note: CLIFFHANGER! HAHA. I thought about writing more, but I wanted to update a.s.a.p. and this was a SUPER long chapter anyway. But the next chapter might be kind short. Idk… This was a super long chapter wasn't it? Sorry, I just played Twilight princess for about two hours today and I got on a Zelda high. Sorry about that… REVIEW. Me will be happay ;)
