Navi was bandaged, and Sheik was laying on the bed. How do you bandage a floating ball with wings you ask? Well, with lots of practice.
"Are you stupid?" Eri snapped at both Tanner and Sheik. Sheik just blinked at Eri.
"Oh shut up already," he muttered. "It doesn't hurt any more than it did before I tackled the fairy. Plus they're pretty much healed anyways. I can probably climb that mountain, to the Great Fairy fountain you told me about!"
"You probably don't wanna go there," Tanner muttered. "The Great Fairy is a whore." Sheik looked confused.
"A whore?" he asked. "What, does she go around to all the Great Wizards out there?" Eri snorted.
"Just wait," Tanner murmured. "You'll see. She scarred me for life." He shuddered.
"Met her when he was only five. The poor thing never got over it," Eri told Sheik. Sheik was really confused.
"Damn, this must be how Link feels every day! Confused and stuff," Sheik muttered. "I feel sorry for you a bit now Link." Link clapped happily.
"Sheik, you learn something new about your husband every day! That's good!" he said cheerfully. Eri let out a laugh
"We aren't married!" Sheik snapped. "And what the hell makes you think I'm the wife!?" Tanner and Eri began laughing, and if Navi hadn't been unconscious, Sheik was sure she'd laugh too.
"Oh, you aren't the wife?" Link asked. "I thought you were a bit more... Girly than Tanner."
"We aren't married!" Sheik yelled. "And how the hell am I more girly!!? Tanner is like a walking, talking fruitcake!!"
Eri was laughing harder now. He was basically crying he was laughing so hard. Tanner had stopped laughing.
"Hey! Shut up!" Tanner yelled.
"What do you mean fruitcake? He doesn't look like a cake!" Link said, confused. Sheik ignored him.
"Make me shut up!" Sheik yelled.
"They're fighting like an old married couple again Eri!" Link giggled. Eri was laughing on the floor now, holding his stomach and his face was beet red. He was taking in breaths between laughs, but it was hardly working.
"I will!" Tanner hollered.
"Bring it!" Sheik shouted, getting out of the bed. Tanner grabbed him around the waist, and lifted him into the air. Sheik began to kick.
"Oh look! They're dancing!" Link cheered. Eri howled with laughter.
"I may have broken ribs but I can still kick your ass!" Sheik growled, punching at Tanner's face. Tanner flipped Sheik onto the bed again. Sheik landed with an "Oof", but got right back up. He balled his hand into a fist, and hit Tanner in the stomach.
"They're hurting each other now!!" Link shrieked. Eri was laughing too hard, but even if he wasn't Sheik was sure he wouldn't care.
"I am not a fruitcake!" Tanner snapped, slapping Sheik in the face.
Sheik stopped, making Tanner stop as well. "You just bitch slapped me, and you're saying you aren't a fruitcake?" he asked. Tanner growled, and punched Sheik in the face instead.
"Happy?!" Tanner shouted. Sheik hissed. Paying attention, he heard that Eri had stopped laughing hysterically, but was still chuckling.
"Okay children, break it up, we don't want any-" he snickered, "-divorce happening here," Eri chuckled, going in between Sheik and Tanner. Both Sheik and Tanner glared at Eri.
"I understand it's hard being newlyweds and all, but you have to stop fighting!" Eri laughed. Sheik and Tanner didn't stop glaring. Eri looked at the two of them, uneasy. "I'll just.. Go away now." He backed away. Tanner and Sheik glared at each other now.
"Please stop," Link said, it being his turn to go in between the two of them. Tanner and Sheik both looked down at Link. "I don't like you fighting... You're supposed to be in love!"
Sheik glared, and picked him up from the underarms. "You know how much I'd hate to hurt this body... But I will if you don't stop saying we're married!" he threatened.
"You aren't?" Link asked, tilting his head to the side. Sheik twitched, but sighed deeply.
"No we aren't Link. We are not married. I am straight," Sheik murmured, but looked over to Tanner. "Not so sure about Tanner though."
"Hey!" Tanner snapped. "I'm not gay!"
"He's so deep in the closet, he's finding birthday presents," Eri muttered.
"Shut up!" Tanner snapped. Eri smirked.
"Well, what does Bridal style mean then? Navi said Tanner was carrying you bridal style, so I thought you were married," Link explained, starting to swing in the air, but making sure not to hit Sheik.
"Ohh... Navi mislead you. Stupid fairy," Sheik murmured. "Bridal Style is just a way to carry people. It's like this..." Sheik flipped Link around, and carried him in his arms, like you would a baby, or, let's say, your bride. "See?"
"Are we married now Sheik!?" Link asked. Sheik glared, and dropped him. Link yelped.
"You're useless," Sheik murmured.
"Now, now children," Eri muttered. "We should go see the Great Fairy now." Tanner shuddered.
"C'mon," Sheik said to Link, looking down at him.
"You might wanna get dressed Sheik," Eri told the blonde boy, snickering.
Sheik looked down at himself. He had forgotten, he was only in boxers, and in the bandages around his torso and arms. "Oh," was all he had to say. He picked up Link's green tunic, and put it over his head. Taking the brown belt he used, he tied it around his waist, and fastened it. He slipped on the dirt coloured boots, and stretched slightly, wincing when it went to his ribs.
"Still a bit sore?" Tanner asked. Sheik nodded.
"Let's go," he said. Everyone agreed (except Tanner, who really didn't' want to see the Great Fairy), and they left for the mountains.
They were nearly up, when the mountain began to erupt, rocks falling all around them. Sheik pulled out the Hylian shield that Eri had given him, and pulled Link under with him. Eri and Tanner just jumped out of the way. When it cleared, they all burst into a run, stopping when new rocks began to fall.
It took a long time, but they finally made it to the entrance of the Great Fairy Fountain. "Do I have to go in?" Tanner asked, shuddering again.
"Yes," Sheik murmured, walking to the blocked entrance.
"Hoot hoot!" Everyone looked around. There was a large, rather ugly bird perched on the post pointing toward the fairy fountain.
"Ahh!" Sheik hollered. "No! It's that bird!" Everyone stared at Sheik. "We have to get away from it!" He backed away quickly.
"Hello young travelers!" the owl began.
"No! Don't let it start talking!" Sheik bellowed. "Nooo!"
"Inside is the fairy you seek, is it not?" the owl cooed.
"No!! It will never stop!" Sheik sobbed. "Don't let it talk!! No!!"
"Well, I'm sure your journey up here was perilous," the bird started. And it never stopped...
Two hours Later
"Uncle Bill told me I had five eyes! But, I told him he was wearing a dress! When I was just a baby, my father told me, "Maybe it's time you learned to fly!" and he kicked me right out of the nest. I have two extra feathers on my right wing. When I burp, it sound like a French horn," the bird went on. Everyone was staring in disbelief, while Sheik cried in the nearest corner.
"When I turned thirty thousand years old, my wife told me she didn't exist. I was so confused. And then, I fell asleep," continued the owl.
"OH MY DIN! SHUT THE HELL UP!" Link shouted. The bird stopped talking. "WE REALLY DON'T CARE!" Everyone looked at Link, and Sheik stopped crying.
Sheik stood up, and walked to the group. "Nobody loves me," the owl sobbed as it flew away.
"Thank you so much Link," Tanner sighed. "What the hell was that thing!?"
"I-I told you guys!" Sheik said, in short sobs. "I met it... inside the forest... After I left the forest." He shuddered. "He wouldn't shut up! I was there... For days!"
"Poor thing!" Eri said, being sincere. "That was terrible!"
"Let's just.. Get inside of there," Sheik shuddered. "Link, blow it up." Then, he thought about this for a second. "Wait, let me blow it up." Link handed Sheik the bomb bag, and they blew up the entrance.
"You first Tanner!" Eri teased, pushing Tanner toward the entrance. Tanner squealed as he went through. Everyone else followed.
Sheik stared in amazement. The fountain was beautiful! It was white brick, with clear blue water in the bowl shape. There was a white brick walkway toward the pool of water and a step leading up to it. On the step was a golden Triforce symbol, shining in the light. "Link, play Zelda's lullaby on the ocarina," Sheik told him, "on the step."
Link nodded, and stepped onto the Triforce symbol. Sheik followed and stood beside Link as he began to play. He could hear Tanner whimper from behind Eri, who stood behind the two of them.
When Link was finished the song, there was giggling. Tanner squeaked fearfully, as a... Woman emerged from the fountain. She had three pink ponytails flowing out from behind her. She was covered in vines, no clothing, just vines, and her boobs were unusually pointed. She had bright pink lips, and a pointed face.
"Gah!" Sheik said, backing away.
"I told you!" Tanner yelled.
"Hello, young travelers!" said the fairy in her high pitched tone. Sheik basically tuned her out the rest of the time. He was afraid of... It. He closed his eyes, but only opened them to peek at Link, who was terrified.
"I will grant you my divine powers!" chuckled the fairy, having a red beam of light cast on Link and Sheik.
As soon as Sheik had the power, he began to run. Everyone followed. The voice of the fairy could be heard from behind them.
"When your adventures have made you weary, don't be afraid to come see me!" shouted the fairy. Nobody listened.
They soon made it back to Impa's house, all of them terrified. "Did you see her!?" Link hollered. "She was the creepiest woman I've ever met!" Tanner had to be carried by Eri back, he was so petrified.
"Where were you four!" came a high pitched voice. Everyone looked around to see a fairy, who was awake now.
"Oh, hello Navi," Eri said setting a scared stiff Tanner onto one of the beds. "Went to see the Great Fairy, unfortunately." She was not pleased.
"You could have left a note or something! I thought you might have been kidnapped," Navi said, angered.
"That is a possibility. I mean, they would have left you. Nobody likes you anyways," Sheik muttered bitterly. Navi squeaked in disapproval.
Sheik yawned. "We should all get some rest. It's off to Zora's Domain for you and Link tomorrow," Eri said. Navi squeaked. "Yep, you and Link. There are more beds upstairs, go on to sleep you two." Navi growled as Link and Sheik climbed up the stairs and into the beds.
Eri stepped outside, keeping the door wide open. "Oh my gosh! We need the help of a fairy!" he gasped. Everyone looked at him, but Navi fluttered outside, feeling important. Eri ran back inside, and shut the door. "That takes care of her, night everyone!" he said taking the last free bed.
And so, everyone went to sleep, Navi being left outside in the cold. But, nobody cared.
And so, that is chapter nine! I can't say this is my favourite chapter that I've written. It was short... Merely so-so in my opinion! If you've noticed since the beginning, I've been switching chapters point of views from Sheik to Link... But the next few chapters are going to be from Sheik's point of view. Until they get out of the water dungeon at least. I have many idea's for that, and all of them need Sheik's veiw of it, so it makes more sense; because if it were Link, everything would be wrong, and you wouldn't see the intelligent side of things, xD. You need the intelligent side of things to make the jokes make sense...
With that, I'd like to say I'm well on my way in chapter ten! I have high expectations of myself for these next couple chapters, so expect better! Thanks for reading =3.
