Chapter 3 – The Legend of Zelda! GX

A/N: Thanks Wingsong5555 for reviewing this fanfic.

"How do you duel Link?" Syrus asked Link.

Link, Syrus, Jaden, and Chumley were all sitting on their bed or the table by the window across from the beds.

"You'll find out in a couple of days." He replied.

"SWEET! I can't wait!" Jaden exclaimed.

"What duel?" Syrus asked.

Link didn't reply right away. He thought about it first, he'd only been with them for a while, but then every body has the kind of duels Link will be doing.

"A transfer to Ra…" Link said finally.

"Really? You're leaving? And so soon…" Chumley stated solemnly

"He'll get to meet Bastion." Syrus said.

Link was out of the loop with who Bastion was. But he was also out of the loop with everything they said to each other. He also wasn't very comfortable with the idea of roommates. Link wasn't much of a people person. Back in Hyrule, Zelda was the only person Link could talk to. He wasn't used to such friendly people pondering about how he's been, or what he's been up to. It was a major change in life.

And he didn't like it too much, but there's no way he'd tell them, he doesn't know them well enough yet. He didn't know if they were sensitive or something, so he decided not to take the chance that they just might take it offensively. Link would admit it though, he can be quite rude.

"Bastion's one of our Ra friends." Jaden said, "anyway, can I see your deck? I'll let you see mine!"

Link was a little taken aback…why does he care? Link thought.

"But…that would ruin the surprise, it'll be in action soon." Chumley said.

"Won't you be in action soon, too?" Syrus asked.

Chumley still had a card designing job to negotiate with Pegasus. He's been making cards for him for quite a while, and their other friend in Ra who shares dorms with them, Hassleberry, he is on vacation and will be back in a week or so.

"Yeah…that's right…you have a card designing job to do, huh?" Jaden remembered.

"Yeah…and I won't get to meet Hassleberry because I have to leave tomorrow." Chumley said sadly. Syrus started to cry and mourn over his leaving.

"Then you also won't be here for Link's duel." Jaden pointed out.

"Yeah…totally not licious." Chumley looked down and stared at the ground a little sad, but not too much.

As he looked down, he saw a small piece of paper. It was the diagram Jaden drew of the spiky heart.

"Hey there's your constellation drawing." Chumley said pointing at it.

Link almost saw it but Syrus picked it up and studied it for a moment.

"Yeah…we should tell Link." Syrus told Jaden and handed him the inaccurate illustration.

Link had a slight idea what it could possibly be, but he convinced himself it was impossible.

"Have you ever seen this? It's like a spiky heart…with lots of color. I saw it last night. Or rather, my Kuriboh saw it."

Link made a small gasp and widened his eyes. He was right. That evil spirit revealed itself to these…humans. He quickly erased his shocked look on his face and told Jaden, "It's an alright drawing."

Every eye was rested on him suspiciously. They felt like something was wrong.

"Well! That's cool that you think so…everyone else said it was pretty stupid-looking." Jaden said ignoring Link's one-second apparent uneasiness. Then Kuriboh came from behind him, Kuriboh pointed at Link's left hand. Jaden was very confused at that moment because there was nothing on Link's hand; neither of them in fact.

Link caught Jaden trying to see what Kuriboh was pointing at on his left wrist, so he pulled it behind him and Jaden looked at his face. He looked at him a very strange way, the look of hatred. Then he looked down feeling a little guilty and embarrassed.

"Why does Kuriboh not trust you?" Jaden asked in shock.

Syrus was taken aback by this, and Chumley was half asleep. "Hey guys…I'm-a goin'na sleep." Chumley said then yawned.

"Kuriboh doesn't trust him?" Syrus repeated also in shock.

Link just stared at the ground guiltily.

"Your Kuriboh…" Link trailed off. It took him a while to get his voice back, "he's wrong."

"Kuriboh? Wrong? Since when?" Jaden asked. Link looked back up less guiltily, until he saw Jaden's Kuriboh. He stared at him hard, and Kuriboh saw something more than bad in him.

Kuriboh spoke to Jaden, and Jaden looked back at Link. Syrus still out of the loop, yawned.

"Do you know the Majora's Mask?" Jaden asked.

"Huh? Majora's Mask?" Syrus repeated.

"That is what the constellation is called. Zane told me-" Jaden started.

"Zane?" Link repeated, "Truesdale?"

"How do you know my big bro?" Syrus asked.

"You're Zane's baby brother?" Link asked.

"That's me. Am I famous, too?" Syrus joked trying to shine a little light in this confusing dorm.

"Wait…how do you know Zane?" Jaden asked.

"And how do you know of Majora?" Link asked.

"Wow…there's definitely a LOT of questions and answers here…why don't we play a question and answer game?" Syrus suggested.

"A game? Cool…what?" Jaden said.

"This is not a very great time for a game." Link mumbled.

"Yeah! I'll be your host…you two ask questions and the other will answer! It's brilliant!"

"I guess you can, but I'm not treating like a game…I just need to know, how do you know of Majora?"

"I don't…I only heard the card by Zane, which by the way, brings me to my question, how do you know Zane?" Jaden asked.

"My sister. She knew him…I don't know if she'll remember him, though." Link said and stared into space thinking of how in the world she could tell him something so important and private. She was always so open to people she thought she could trust. Surely she would have said not to tell anyone especially someone like Jaden. He just seemed a little irresponsible.

"The Majora's Mask was more than a card…I'll have you know." Link said so quietly Jaden barely heard him.

"I think you guys get the point…I'm going to bed…night."

"Night Sy." Jaden said without taking his eyes off Link.

Link fell silent and thought of something, what to ask.

"Pass…" he told Jaden.

"What do you mean it was more than a card?"

Link didn't know how to reply…he also didn't want to. He didn't trust Jaden enough to tell him much of anything.

"It's real." Link said simply. It was a good explanation and it didn't tell too much. He was perfectly fine with this answer he gave Jaden.

"Not only a card? It's a real thing?" Jaden asked.

"Yes…it was trapped inside of a card, and I have it…Now it's my turn…" Link turned away from Jaden and walked towards the door.

"Why am I telling you this?" Link asked.

Jaden narrowed his eyes and thought for a short while. "That's up to you buddy." Jaden said happily.

When Link turned back to Jaden he was wearing a big smile. He was taken aback by what he'd called him.

"Sorry for interrogating you…let's get some sleep." Jaden said.

Jaden rest on his bed and Link took the way out the door. He'd left the room before he could hear Jaden wonder where he was going. He headed on his way to his sister's dorm.

All he could think about was one word…buddy. Link thought. That's what he called me.

Link couldn't help but at LEAST think to smile…his own father never even called him that. According to him…Link was just a failure. But his mother knew otherwise, as well as Zelda.

But still…never in his life by anyone had he been called buddy. Only someone who never had any friends but his family would make such a big deal about it. He knocked on Zelda's door, no one answered…luckily for him, the door was in fact open. So he made his way in one of the beds careful not to make a noise that might wake Zelda.

Buddy…
