"Hold up," Fado said, blocking Link the wolf's path when he tried to slink away. Link shifted his paws uneasily. Fado was really mad, and he was pretty sure Link knew he was.

"I know you're Link," he told the wolf, "So you might as well turn back to your normal self so I can talk to you properly."

The wolf blinked in surprise, and stared at its back as if having a silent conversation with someone sitting on him, but Fado didn't see anything. Was he talking to a flea? Then, the wolf shimmered and turned black for a second. Then, the color returned and Link the Hylian stood up and dusted his green tunic off nervously.

Fado hoped he covered his shock okay, he wanted to stay mad and intimidating for as long as possible. He would try, but being mad just wasn't in his nature.

"How did you-" Link started, but Fado wanted to say his part first.

"Now," he began, "I want some answers. Nearly every time something has happened here, it has your name written all over it. I have had demented cuckoos, clown disasters, murderous lights on the roof, ghosts of heroes in the barn, panicked fairies, portals in the sky, and my life and my goats lives in danger all because of you," he poked Link in the chest, "And I would like you to tell me why."

"Uh…" Link said, "Midna, help please?" he begged weakly in a low voice at the ground.

"This is your problem Link, I'm not helping you this time," a voice answered firmly, sounding a tad amused. Fado recognized it as the voice that had spoken to Link when the bridge had landed in the field, "Besides," it continued, "Aren't you the wielder of the Triforce of Courage? Real courageous, running away from your messes."

"Who's Midna?" Fado asked, surprised, completely forgetting to stay mad. Link still looked uncomfortable.

"She's a friend," he answered, "An… invisible friend," he explained when he saw Fado's skeptical look.

"Invisible? You can see me," the voice huffed, "And 'she' has a name you know."

"Sorry Midna," Link apologized.

"Right," Fado said, still trying and failing miserably to stay mad, "So, why didn't you tell me you could become a wolf?"

"Well, I didn't exactly know how you would react," Link explained awkwardly while he shuffled his feet, "I didn't want you to become scared of me or something. Also, Midna wouldn't let me change in front of anyone until just now,"

"With good reason!" the voice exclaimed, "How would you have been able to save anyone if they were all afraid of you? Why do you keep pinning your excuses on me? Act like a man and just accept that you're the one who's usually doing them!"

"Sorry Midna, sorry,"

"Why can't I see you?" Fado asked the voice.

"Because I'm a Twili, I live in the Twilight world, but I was kicked out by a tyrant king named Zant, so I live in the shadows," she explained.

"Right," Fado said, though he didn't really understand a whole lot from that explanation. Changing the subject, he tried once again to be stern, "So, what was that monster and why was it here?"

"Well," Link began, "See, I was going through the Cave of Ordeals and I went through my last fairy when a Re-dead- that was the monster- jumped on me and Midna decided it was high time I got out of there, so she teleported us here. Unfortunately for us, the re-dead came too."

"Uh-huh, and then it wrecked the side of my barn,"

"Oh yeah," Link said, scratching the back of his neck, "Sorry about that. You know, I should get going, I need to-"

"Oh no, you're not going anywhere until you tell me exactly what you've been up to. I've had enough of people, three-tailed foxes, and dangerous creatures hinting about you and not giving me any straight answers." Fado stated, blocking Link again.

Link groaned, "Do I have to? I really need to-"

"No, you're staying here until I get some answers. Start explaining. I want to know everything," Fado crossed his arms and tried to look as intimidating as possible.

"Uh, Well," Link began, realizing he couldn't get away. He proceeded to inform Fado on everything he had been doing. Every once in a while, Midna, Link's invisible friend, would pipe in and add some information he forgot, or an embarrassing story on how Link had failed at something. Fado was shocked at how much the youth had done in so short of time and with so little experience.

"… And so I decided to try a shot at the Cave of Ordeals, and here we are," Link finished.

Fado stayed silent and thoughtful for several long minutes. Link's story explained quite a few things, like the mysterious light on the barn roof, the visits from Ooccoo and Falibi, and the portals in the sky. Fado didn't know how the lad could cope so well with the sudden pressure of saving the world on his shoulders. Still, as awed as he was, he was still a little upset about his barn wall.

"How do you handle it?" Fado finally asked.

"I don't know really, I just do,"

"You are very irritable in the mornings," Midna piped up, "I think you cope by just being as frustrating as possible to me. I mean, every time, every time I tell you not to touch or press or hit something, you go ahead and do it. And every time, something nasty happens to you! You'd think he would know to listen to me by now," She directed the last bit at Fado.

"Midna," Link groaned. Fado chuckled.

"You should really listen to her, lad," He said.

"Not you too!" Link exclaimed playfully and clapped his hands over his ears. Fado couldn't help but smile. An awkward silence filled the clearing.

"So…" Link said uncomfortably after a while, "Do you need help with anything?"

"As a matter of fact, yes," Fado grinned, placing a hand on Link's shoulder and turning him towards the barn, "I'm glad you asked. You, lad, are going to fix the mess that re-dead made in the side of my barn."

A/N Well, here it is! Hope you liked it! :D It was fun to write.

Now for the guest reviewer…

Link- XD Yes, yes you are…
