Well... I'm sorry! For anyone who cares about this story, I apologize. I haven't updated in nearly forever! To tell the truth, I got really bored while writing this chatper. Undoubtedly, you may get bored reading it. It's short, and it's not near as funny as the others. Well, no matter its flaws, I do hope you enjoy.

Chapter 7

Sheik stared as the boulder went straight for Link. "Idiot," he hissed under his breath, wrapping an arm around Link's waist, and lifting him to the side. Too bad he wasn't in time to save himself too. He gave a shriek, as the boulder smashed into him, sending him flying. He tried to yell for Link's attention, but he was out of breath. Down the cliff he spiralled, hand outstretched to see if Link could get him.

Sheik had no such luck.

The boy plummeted down, managing to let out a few screams here and there. This was it. The end. That dumb ass(Link) wouldn't get his body back... And Hyrule would be destroyed. Link could never do this by himself. Sheik looked to see his fairy friend dive under his mid-back, and try to push up. It barely eased up the speed, but it did, just enough for him to catch his breath. "Fly away!" he hissed to the fairy, uncertain of whether or not she could hear him. Either she didn't, or she chose to ignore him, because she kept trying... She just kept fluttering her wings.

But still, farther down Sheik fell. He didn't bother screaming, it would just waste his breath. He shut his eyes, and let himself fall. He refused to stay limp, because that would make himself even heavier on the fairy. Not that he cared about the stupid fairy. "Go back to Link!" he hollered. The fairy obviously heard him because she squeaked up at him. He would assume that was a no.

Suddenly, he felt something collide with his head. He couldn't see anymore. Only black. He couldn't tell he was falling... He had passed out.

Some Time Later

"Quite the fall he took," came a familiar voice.

"Yeah... And his fairy seems to be out of it still too..." came another, also familiar voice.

Sheik suppressed a moan, and opened one eye to a squint. Eri and Tanner came into his blurred view.

"What about Link? What happened to him?" Tanner asked. "If he is alive... How's he going to survive by himself?" Eri pondered this.

"He's not as stupid as he seems," Eri told Tanner. Sheik almost scoffed. Link was an idiot.

Sheik could tell Tanner was about to laugh as well

"No, seriously," Eri said, noticing Tanner's reaction. "Link has something special. Princess Zelda sees it too." Zelda? How was Eri and Tanner connected to Zelda? They had never mentioned her before.

"Zelda really says that?" Tanner asked. Sheik saw Eri nod.

"She said there was something about him. He would save us...She says there was a deep reason he was chosen for the Hero of Time," Eri told Tanner. Tanner didn't reply.

"Do you want me to go check if Link is alright?" he heard Tanner ask. Eri shook his head.

"No," he replied. "He needs to prove himself." Sheik could feel his blood boil. He wasn't sure why he was still alive, but letting Link brave a huge dungeon on his own was like wasting the life that Sheik had saved. Like a wasted effort on his behalf.

Feeling a throbbing pain in his wrist, Sheik winced, giving himself away with a moan. The twin's ears perked. "He's awake," he heard Tanner state. There were footsteps, and both twins were at he side of the bed.

"You're finally up, sleepy head," Eri muttered. Sheik glared up at Eri.

"Whoa, no need to be so mad at the guy who saved your life," Eri said, feeling Sheik's anger. Sheik had never been that mad before. He tried to talk, but he couldn't. At least, he could barely.

"You asshole," he hissed. His voice was cracked. He must have yelled more than he thought when he fell.

"You've made him quite mad," Tanner told his twin. "Stop it." He pushed his brother playfully.

"If I knew what was upsetting him, I would," Eri said, grinning. Sheik couldn't believe they were taking this all so lightly.

"What the hell are you thinking letting Link go at it by himself?" Sheik managed to snap. Eri looked shocked.

"You heard that?" Eri asked. Sheik glared harder, if that was possible.

"I thought you were out cold," Tanner agreed. "Though, you were bound to get up... You've been gone since yesterday afternoon." Sheik gaped. That long?

Sheik sat up, only to groan. It wasn't only his wrists that hurt. His whole torso hurt. He saw that he was only in a pair of boxers, and that his whole torso was wrapped in bandages. A lot of the parts were soaked red. He also had bandages around his wrists, and on his head. They weren't just a fashion statement anymore. He could feel some on his ankles and thighs as well. He hurt all over, and his head throbbed.

"That's what you get for throwing yourself in front of that boulder," Tanner said. "Your right wrist is broken, and you've broken a couple of ribs. You're ankles are pretty much okay, just major sprains. And you hit your head. You should just stay in bed for a few days to a week, taking healing potion."

"Tanner may not look it, but he's a doctor. Or, at least a doctor in training. He's the best in his class, not to mention a skilled fighter. He talked to the potion lady here... She gave him special herbs, and he went to collect some. But, he's making you a potion, to heal you. That should speed it up from weeks, to just days," Eri explained further.

"What about Link? Have you even tried to make contact with him?" Sheik asked weakly. Both boys shook their heads. The young boy gave a growl.

"Calm down," Tanner muttered. "You're going to overexert yourself. Lay back down, and we'll sort things out."

"Oh shut up," Sheik hissed. "You're sending an unintelligible, ten year old kid into a place full of monsters. What do you expect of the outcome? Not everything turns out peachy keen!" Eri and Tanner both blinked at him, not sure what to say.

"I'll go," came a squeak from the bed beside Sheik.

Sheik looked over to see Navi, on the bed. She sounded tired. "I'll make sure he doesn't do anything to kill himself," continued the fairy. The twins looked over as well.

"That wouldn't be such a bad plan," Tanner said. "But, you should probably rest up a bit. Link couldn't be in the dungeon yet. He probably went to sleep somewhere... It's still before dawn." Navi squeaked in approval.

"You too Sheik," Eri told him. "Take a nap. I'm not promising you that you'll feel better when you get up, but it couldn't hurt." Sheik gave a bitter nod, and laid back down carefully. He shut his eyes. Would Link really be alright? Or would he be okay?

These thoughts and more ran through his mind before he fell back to sleep.

Later On

"Okay Navi; go. Just observe him though, unless you see something bad happen. Then butt in, but, other than that, just watch over him." Eri was telling Navi what to do with Link. She was about to leave to find him.

"Got it," Navi told them, as Tanner opened the door.

"If something happens to Link that you can't stop, come back right away," Tanner told her. Navi squeaked an 'Of course'. With that, the twin's wished her well, and she was out of the door.

"How's that potion sitting Sheik?" Eri asked, shutting the door. Sheik moaned. He felt like throwing it all up. But, he knew he had to keep it down, for at least a little while, so it could start working. He turned his nose up in disgust. Tanner chuckled.

"Yeah, it's disgusting. Both Eri and I have had the same experience as you!" Tanner told Sheik.

"You both fell off a cliff, trying to save an idiot who wouldn't move?" Sheik asked, smart-ass like. Eri rolled his eyes.

"Obviously not," Tanner muttered, taking the words out of Eri's mouth. Sheik glared.

"What is your connection to Zelda?" he asked quietly. The twins looked at each other. Sheik couldn't read what their faces were saying, but they were questioning each other, as if they were telepathic. Or maybe, it was a 'Twins Bond'. He wasn't sure.

"What?" Tanner finally asked. Sheik growled.

"You heard me the first time," he retorted. Eri frowned.

"We have no idea what you mean. Our connection to Zelda, is that she's our princess, and future ruler. Nothing more," Eri told Sheik. Sheik hissed. Tanner and Eri looked worriedly to each other.

"What did you think?" Tanner asked. Sheik didn't believe them even an ounce. Little did they know that he had over heard them talking about Zelda, and Link.

"Tell me," Sheik ordered. Eri and Tanner both laughed, in sync, and at the same tones. It was kind of creepy.

"We don't have to, nor are we going to," Tanner replied. "You'll find out eventually." Sheik frowned, but he was too tired to go on.

"So, you really expect Link will be okay?" murmured the boy, eyeing Eri. Eri shrugged.

"Let's hope," replied the teen.

"Hey!" Tanner said, smirking. "Let's have a little test, to see if you're getting better Sheik!"

Sheik stared at Tanner warily. "What kind of test?"

Time Passes

Sheik stared at Tanner, who was snickering. "You're kidding me?" he said flatly. "You spent about, oh I don't know, an hour outside, preparing an 'Obstacle Course' for me to complete?" Laid out in front of him, was a piece of paper. On this piece of paper, there was writing in ink, '"Obstacle Course!"' it said in bold letters at the top . Then there was a whole bunch of math questions.

"I had no idea when you said, 'I'm going to go prepare your test' you meant 'I'm going to take forever to write out some math questions'," muttered Sheik. Tanner shrugged.

"You need to test your mind!" Eri piped up, chuckling. "Get going."

Of course, living at the castle, Sheik had been assigned some teachers. He was a very smart kid, his only flaw was... You guessed it, math. Now, for any normal kid 'Fifteen divided by three' was a simple task. Instantly you'd think 'five'. Bust Sheik, could not even do that, without thinking hard. "Uhm..." he said slowly, looking at his sheet. The twins just stared at him, expecting him to start writing.

When Sheik was finished (which took many hours), Eri and Tanner where eating dinner. "Finished!" he declared finally. Eri and Tanner both moaned, as if to say 'Finally'.

"Let me see this," Tanner said. He snatched up the boys paper, and scanned the one sided sheet. His mouth hung open. Sheik just stared at him, blinking, and expecting him to say something.

Tanner shuffled back to Eri. "I thought you said this kid was smart?" he whispered, although Sheik could hear him. Eri looked confused.

"He is," he replied. Tanner shoved Sheik's sheet of paper in his face. Eri burst out in laughter.

"What?" Sheik asked, confused. Eri stopped laughing, stood, and waltzed over to Sheik.

"You think fifteen divided by three is four," Eri replied. Sheik blinked once.

"Isn't it?" Eri and Tanner both stared at him, and started to laugh again. Sheik wasn't sure what was so funny? He just tried his best!

"Oh no... I think I'm starting to turn into Link! Mentally!" Sheik yelled to himself, holding his head. "No! Hanging out with that idiot caused my brain to melt! It's going to come through my ears!" He stuffed his index fingers into each of his ears, to prevent the 'Leaking'. No, this wasn't one of Sheik's brighter moments.

"Take your fingers from your ears!" Eri snapped, loud enough for Sheik to hear.

"Oh my gosh! I have brain on my finger tips!" Sheik said, looking at his fingers. "Who would have thought your brain was actually brown!"

Eri sighed. "That's earwax Sheik," he told him. Sheik blinked at the goop on his fingers.

"Ewwww," he whined, wiping his fingers on his sheets.

"Your just experiencing the side effects of the potion. This tells us that the potion is starting to work," Tanner explained. "It's like a high, if you were on a drug."

"Oh my goddess! You put drugs in my potion!?" Sheik shrieked. Tanner sighed.

"Yes, yes I did," he said sarcastically. Sheik gasped in disbelief.

"Fiend!" he shouted, pointing a finger to Tanner. Tanner groaned.

This was sure to be a long day.
