Darunia rolled his drumsticks, fluidly, across his drum set and howled out in excitement. "
Yeah, bitches!" The Goron cried, pounding his chest. "We finally got this baby up and runnin'! Whoo!" He was shirtless, wearing worn out jeans, and glistened like a stone after rain. "Yo, Link, when is everyone getting here?"
The Junior High School student glanced up from where he had been tuning his extra bass and glared at the clock. "Five minutes ago." The Hyrulean and started The Legend of Zelda after his weekend trip with his best friend which resulted in him realizing a few things about their relationship. He was in love with her, he wanted her, and it was growing very apparent that she didn't have the time or bravery to enter into a intimate relationship with him. Link understood, hated it, and accepted it.
They had journeyed all the way to Termina's Carnival of Time which was one of the craziest parties to hit the Realms. They stayed for an entire weekened, muscled through the tension, and came out on the otherside to find Sandra in better spirits... also to find out that their mothers were attracted to one another.
It had been weird at first, for almost the rest of that year, and had put a strain of his and Zelda's friendship.
Evelyn had sat her son down, explained a few things about her and Sandra's relationship, then urged him to let her know his thoughts. Link only said that he wanted her happy and if Sandra made her happy then he was okay with it... he did let her know, however, that if their relationship went south that he was staying out of it and that Zelda was to be left out of the affair.
Marin Gull had been the first person to let the news out at school which had earned her a broken nose from Zelda who had to be held back by her twin, Shiek, who had gone off with David but only because he was afraid for their father. Shiek returned after David hit him during an arguement about the man's affair.
"I want them here, now." Darunia frowned, shutting down the dark road that Link's thoughts had been going down. "Call them."
"You have a cell phone too." Link smirked, whipping his out of his back pocket and pressing a few numbers.
"Sup, Link?" Saria's voice spoke into the speaker and came with the sound of her latest obsession, The Indigo-Gos.
"Where are you?" Darunia screamed while he began banging on his cymbals. "JAM TIME, BEOTCH!"
"Did you let him have Blue Potion?" The drink had alcohol in it but was also an energy drink which the Goron had, indeed, drained two of... one made him obnoxious and Link's curiosity had gotten the better of him.
Link laughed. "Um...yes?"
"For Farore's sake, Link! You're an asshole."
"Watch your mouth." The eighteen year old chuckled. "Where are you?"
"Your driveway." The tone on the other end let him know that she had hung up on him.
Link turned to Darunia and grinned. "Saria's here. You want another Blue Potion?"
"Gimmie."
When the green headed Kokiri appeared she looked like a tantalizing piece of jail bait. She was fourteen in looks though she was nineteen and was dressed in a light green, skin tight, short dress that came up to her thighs when she sat. Saria crossed her legs, frowned her painted lips, ans glared at Link with her blue eyes. "I hate you."
He smiled. "Hate your boyfriend not me."
The Goron and the Kokiri had been together since that fateful dance and deserved every ounce of happiness that they found. They had been dragged through the mud as far as a couple could go then stood up, dusted each other off, and held hands again. Saria had been given a serum that would cause her to age; a creation by the Great Deku Tree and Dr. Hylia; but so far it had only made her shape more womanly.
Saria rolled her eyes and shook her head, smirking. "Can't he is too damn cute when he's drunk."
Darunia walked over to his woman and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I love you, babe."
"Puke." Link chuckled, dodged a pillow thrown at his head, then returned back to tuning the bass while Saria began setting her keyboard up. "Hey, Saria, did you talk to Mido before you left?"
"Yeah, he isn't interested."
"Well, fuck, we need a bass player."
"Shiek plays bass." Darunia offered, ploping down on the couch that Link had dragged down into his basement.
Link laughed. "A good bass player."
"Well, you could always play bass while Zelda plays guitar." Saria grinned. "That girl can shred."
"I know, I taught her." He smirked. " But, I was kind of hoping to avoid having to sing and play an instrument."
Saria blinked. "Wait, I thought your cousin was gonna sing."
"Wel, Kafei was going to sing at first but he is shoved up Anju's ass all the time and Raven, my cousin, has enlisted in the army." Link rose a brow. "You don't think I can sing?"
"I've never heard you sing." Saria frowned. "You never let anyo-"
"I've heard him." Darunia grinned then realized that he had cut his girlfriend off and winced. "Don't hit me!" Of course, she did.
The three friends talked for another half hour before true worry began to set in about where their last member was.
"So, um, what's the thing with you and Zelda? Why isn't she in the band?"
Link took out his headphone and frowned. "What?"
Saria huffed. "You and Zelda? What's the deal?"
"Complications." Link sighed. "She wants to stay friends, I want more, and I think it scares her... then there's our Moms."
"What kind of complications?" Darunia asked, sipping the cup of coffee that Saria had made him though he was barely drinking it.
"She changes the story everytime." Link spun in his roller chair and grabbed his guitar. "I'm gonna call Naburoo."
Darunia grinned, stupidly. "You mean Naguroo." His friends gave him a very dry look in which he scowled at them and their lack of interest in his puns. "You guys suck."
"Nabs, hey, where are you?"
"Mall."
"Its ten... the mall closes at nine." Link frowned. "Where are you?"
"The Mall."
A very frustrated sigh. "Okay... why?"
"Do I run around bugging you about where you are?"
Link frowned, deeper. "Yes."
A pause. "Fine." He heard her take in a deep breath. "Listen, you're gonna have to call up Zelda and have her be in your band because the police is coming and I'm probably gonna go to jail." The cell phone was snapped shut and the call ended.
Link pulled his own away from his ear and stared at it, sorely confused. "So, um...Nabs is out."
"Why?"
Link snatched up a Blue Potion from his mini fridge, drained it, then sat down with Saria staring at him wide-eyed. "Her probation just got broken."
"You realize that this band is cursed, right?"
Link glared at Darunia, opened his cell back up, and pressed speed-dial. "Zelda." He hung up, glanced at his friends, and frowned. "I am going to make this work."
