Krista: Thank you, PsynergyMaster for yet another great review. It's pretty easy getting funny ideas if you have an older sister who's a natural stand-up comedian and a little sister who's nickname is "Stuntwoman" (you can imagine what she does). Then I add my little witty, sarcastic remarks, mostly so Faith can use them. My older sister, Marie, is like Hope and Patience does act like Ann, my little sister (especially in this chapter!). Hope you all enjoy this chapter!

Chapter Four: Lake Hylia: Part Two

"Hey, look guys, there's a switch!" Hope said as she stepped on it. Two small red gems fell from the sky.

"Yay! More force gems!" Patience squealed as she went to pick one up. She was about to grab the other one, but Faith beat her to it. "Hey!" the younger one protested.

"Let the rest of us have some too, Squirt," Faith told her. She looked at Link. "Where to now, O Leader of Ours?" she asked sarcastically. Link gave her a glare before answering.

"Let's line up in that wide formation to push this boulder into the water," he said. "We might be able to use it as a bridge."

"That huge thing?!" Patience asked in disbelief, her eyes wide as she stared at the rock.

"Are you sure we can push it?" Hope said, her head tilted as she tried to see the top of the stone.

"Come on, girls! We're strong enough if we do it together!" Link told them.

"Let's try it to humor Mr. Optimistic here." Faith pointed to a now-scowling Link. So they all started to push it and after a couple of tries the boulder fell in with a huge splash.

"Like, my outfit! It's ruined!" Patience wailed, trying to act like a fashion-crazed teenage girl.

"Suck it up, it'll dry," Faith said, wringing out part of her own outfit.

"You two coming?" Link and Hope were already on the other side. The other two caught up as Hope came out of a cave that was there.

"We need to get into the cube formation to see what's in the next room," she informed the others.

"Box," Link corrected her as they were walking in.

"Whatever," was the reply. After they all stepped on the button in the box formation, the next door opened and inside the room was a single boomerang. Link looked at the sisters and asked:

"Either of you girls know how to use a boomerang?" Faith and Patience gave each other nervous glances, then pointed to Hope.

"She does!" they said in unison. Hope looked at them.

"Not really...," she told them. It was true that she was the one who usually used the boomerang when they were playing the game, but this time she didn't have the leisure of having a controller for the weapon.

"Better than us," Faith responded. Hope sighed and took the new weapon.

"I know where you can test it!" Patience yelled as she ran out of the cave. The others hurried to catch up. "There! Throw it and get the force gem!" Patience pointed to a red force gem floating over the river that they had to make the bridge for.

"She's right, you might as well try it," Link said. Hope, looking nervous, took a deep breath, was about to throw, but turned to the others and said:

"Back up, I don't know where this thing's going to fly!" At once, Link and Faith took a giant step back, while Patience had to take two to stay next to them. Hope let the boomerang fly; it caught the force gem, then flew back to her. It was as if the weapon knew where to go. The oldest sister let out a sigh of relief.

"Was that it?!" Faith complained. Her sisters glared at her.

"You sure you've never used a boomerang before?" Link asked.

"Positive," Hope answered in a mumble, pretty sure that he would not believe her if she told him about his life being a game, as the group all went north. There they saw a house being blocked by a dark person that looked like Link. He was bouncing up and down like he was on a sugar high.

"That must be Shadow Link," Link said through gritted teeth.

"Did he have too much coffee or something?" Patience asked, moving her head up and down as Shadow Link jumped.

"I think he looks like he has to go to the bathroom," Hope commented. Faith was looking around and noticed rocks surrounding a stump fairly close to Shadow Link. Suddenly, he jumped right in front of the rocks as Link tried to take a swipe at him with his sword. Link kept trying to slice him, but Shadow Link was jumping back and forth. Faith rolled her eyes at the repeated leaps and positioned herself in front of the rocks. While Shadow Link was taunting the good Link, he didn't realize that he was jumping into a trap. When he bounced in front of Faith, she let him have it--

"OW!" Shadow Link, and the real Link, stared at Faith in surprise. About to pick up the big green force that he dropped, Shadow Link got attacked by Patience's sword. Then, being the little force gem stealer that she is, Patience picked the gem up and gave him a "this-is-mine-you-take-it-you-die" look. Shadow Link backed off.

"Fine," he yelled," go ahead and take it! I'll be back, though!"

"I'm sure," Faith said as Shadow Link swirled around and went into the ground. The four watched as his shadow ran away.

"Dang it!" Link yelled.

"Dialogues in games can be so boring if they're rated E," Faith commented with a chuckle. Hope raised one of her eyebrows, then asked Link what was wrong.

"Shadow Link must've locked the door to this house!" he complained, jiggling the doorknob.

"Um, maybe it's locked from the inside, and the person doesn't want you to barge into their house?" Patience asked. Link glared at her.

"Move over," Hope commanded as she unlocked the door with a key.

"Where'd you...?" Link started to say.

"Behind those stumps," she answered. "Got it with the boomerang." Hope and Patience went inside while Faith and Link waited outside and got rid of the octoroc monsters that had showed up for the party.

There was a lady who thanked the two sisters inside the house for getting rid of the 'shadow man,' and said there was an item they could use in her backyard. Hope and Patience both had to lift the big rock out of the way to get it underneath. When they saw it, Patience started laughing evilly.

"Ohhh...fire rod!"

Back to Link and Faith

"So...," Link started to say, slicing up the last octoroc, "how'd you know where to stand to hit Shadow Link?"

"He kept jumping around in the same spots," Faith answered.

"What made you decide to help me?"

"You started to look like an idiot, running back and forth," she said, smirking. Link scowled at her when...

"MUAHAHAHAHA!!" Link jumped and held his sword ready. Faith sighed.

"Relax," she told him. "I think that's just Patience." Link went wide-eyed, as Patience ran out of the house with a rod that had a flame on the end.

"Hee, hee, hee, fire rod!" She laughed as she ran around, narrowly missing the many trees around them. Faith glared at Hope when she came out.

"You let her have the fire rod?!"

"What was I supposed to do?" Hope protested. "I already had the boomerang!"

"I think you'd better take it away from her, or something," Link said. "Otherwise, she's going to..."

"BURN!" Link, Hope, and Faith watched as Patience burned the whole field in front of the house down.

Krista: Well? Alright, the thing that Patience did at the end is something that Ann would do! I'm not kidding; she's like a total pyro! By the way, if anybody has any ideas, for future chapters, put them in your reviews and I'll try to fit them in, with due credit of course. Don't feel bad if I don't though; it doesn't mean the idea wasn't good. I think I'm gonna make fun of Tingle next chapter. Anybody actually like that fairy wanna-be? If someone does, then I won't make fun of him too badly. Okay, R&R please!
