Chapter 20

Midna and Agitha sit at a small, round table.

Midna lets her head fall on the table with a bang. She mumbles, "Why does summer have to be over?"

Agitha puts her new pet caterpillar in its cage and gently sets the cage on the table. "Well Midna, the planet is tilted on an axis, and the planet rotates on that axis-,"

"I'm not an idiot, Agitha," Midna interrupts. Agitha just decides to shut up.

There is a third chair at the table for the third member of their respective game. Before he can sit down, though, Midna picks up his chair and throws it across the room. Zant chases after his chair.

Agitha says so innocently, "That was so mean."

"He deserves it," responds Midna. She is just in a really bad mood, and those that know Midna know not to get in her business when she's grumpy.

Zelda stands on the stage and clinks a glass, getting the attention of her fellow warriors. "Everyone, your attention up here, please."

Zant puts his chair back at the table. He sits down, and just as everyone quiets down, he sneakily uses his foot to flip Midna's chair. This makes a scene.

"Oh my goodness," Zant exclaims, faking surprise. "Midna, are you alright? It isn't safe to balance your chair on two legs."

Zelda gives the ugliest stare of annoyance the warriors have ever seen. Once the laughter of the villains dies down, she clears her throat and gets out her notecards. "Now I will do attendance."

"Ocarina of Time table."

Darunia and Ruto sit at the OoT table. Ruto sits up, prim and proper, as every princess should. Darunia, however, slouches. He is lost in his own thoughts, trying to figure out how his son won the last race they had.

"Twilight Princess table."

"I'm not here," says a disheveled Midna. She was already not happy, and then Zant had to show up. Agitha waves happily, and Zant just reclines in his chair haughtily.

"Skyward Sword table."

Ghirahim chuckles. "How could I miss an event such as this?" Fi hovers beside the table, not quite sure how the chair works.

"Hyrule Warriors table."

This is the most crowded table yet. Lana waves happily, sitting with Cia to her right and Volga to her left. Wizzro floats in between Volga and Cia. Volga accidentally incinerated his chair, but it didn't matter much anyway.

"And finally, the reoccurring table! Woohoo!" Zelda cheers.

Link and Impa silently support Zelda by lifting their hands. Ganondorf couldn't care less.

Zelda says, "Great. That's all fifteen of us. So, I hope you all had a nice summer vacation."

Darunia guffaws. "I'd say a nice summer is an exaggeration. In reality, my summer was just as messed up as the not-so-great moments we have as a group."

"Thank you Darunia," Zelda states boldly. "But nobody asked how your summer was." Amused by Zelda's snarky attitude, Ganondorf laughs.

"So, why are you wasting our valuable time?" Wizzro asks.

Midna asks, "Why are you blinding us with your ugliness?" Even Cia gets a laugh out of that one.

Volga shrugs and says, "She burned you there." Wizzro decides not to acknowledge it, swallowing his irritation. Also, he feels slightly ganged up on. Usually Volga doesn't judge him. If Volga does judge him, he doesn't verbally announce it.

Zelda yells, "Everyone! We've got business to discuss, so be quiet! Thanks a lot, Midna." Midna shrugs.

"Now that we are all focused, we can announce and discuss the poll results."

"The what?" Agitha asks.

"The poll results," Zelda explains. "We asked the viewers what chapters they liked best, and they gave us their opinions."

Agitha is still very confused.

Zelda turns to Link. She says, "Link, if you would please announce the poll results." Link stands up and gets on the stage. He shuffles through some note cards of his own. Proxi helped him write his notes, because she likes to be involved in everything.

Link clears his throat. He is shocked when his voice is projected by the microphone. He turns to Zelda and explains that the room isn't that big. He thinks he can project his voice loud enough for the whole room to hear without the mike. Zelda moves the mike for him.

"There we go. That's better," Link says to himself as a way of getting back on track. "It was a close race for first, and the winner took the gold by off-poll vote. The favorite chapter was Chapter 8, the one where Zant couldn't stop spinning."

Zant nods, not surprised. "You see everyone? Only I could receive so many likes."

"What is this? Social media?" Midna asks.

Link reminds, "Don't forget that Chapter 8 only beat Chapter 7 by one vote, and that vote wasn't even placed in the poll."

"But that vote was seen and counted," Zelda adds.

Wizzro asks Volga if he remembers Chapter 7. Volga only remembers it vaguely, because it was a traumatic experience for him.

"There was a three-way tie for third place. It was between chapters 6, 9, and 10," continues Link.

Lana remembers Chapter 6; it isn't a happy memory.

Impa asks, "After seeing those results, what is it that we need to do?"

"That depends on your desired goal," Fi explains.

"We do another poll!" Zelda interrupts.

Several groans are heard from the attending warriors. Ganondorf stands and asks, "Zelda, what makes you think we want the peoples' opinions?"

Zelda points at Ganondorf like a school teacher kindly correcting a 1st grader. "We can't become better entertainers if we don't know what the crowd wants."

Impa shrugs. "She has a point."

"Does that conclude the meeting?" Fi asks.

Zelda shakes her head and motions for Ganondorf and Link to sit down. She says, "There was one more thing I wanted to ask you all about."

Ruto says impatiently, "Some of us have places to be, Zelda."

Zelda nods, getting the quiet attention of everyone once more. The suspense in the room builds as Zelda prepares to ask her question. "Would you all like to do a Q & A session?"

"I don't understand," Agitha utters, saying what everyone is thinking.

"Q & A means Questions and Answers, Agitha. It means the readers ask us questions, and we answer them."

Ganondorf is quick to say, "No." He is followed up by the majority of the warriors.

"Oh, come on guys. I think it would be fun. I didn't see you utterly reject the idea, Wizzro. Would you answer the readers' questions truthfully?"

"What do you think?" He gives an ugly, devious smirk.

Zelda's annoyed expression comes back. "That was a stupid question. Ok, Link, back me up here."

"You heard the woman, Link. Run her over!" Midna demands, being a smart-aleck.

"Not back up over me!" Zelda screams, officially irritated with this entire group she stands before.

Finally, in a fit of rage, Zelda stomps off the stage. "That's it! I give up! This meeting is over!"

Author's Notes- I have returned! I had a hectic summer, and now I am finally back in the swing of writing. I had no inspiration until now. This chapter already explained what I was thinking. Would you all like to do a Q&A session with the warriors? If so, then leave any questions you have for the warriors in the reviews. Also, I have another poll up for chapters 11-19. Pick your favorite(s) so the warriors have something to talk about next meeting. Anyways, it feels good to be back.
