No more sad! Yayz!
Ganondorf is finally getting funny. I know, it has been so long.
Thank you for telling me what OOC meant. It helped.
Although I still think it means Ocarina of Cows. Or Ocarina of Corn. Nothing will change my mind. Nothing.
Haha.
I don't own anything from LoZ. It would be a different game if I did.
Trust me.
Age 12
Din was still hurt by Ganondorf's words. "I HATE YOU!"
She hadn't spoken to any of the kids much. It was the first time her own words had hurt her. The first time she'd felt regret.
Ganondorf hadn't looked her in the eye since then, either. Din handed Ganondorf a bag of sweets to bring to the other two for a snack. It didn't take much time.
In the kitchen, Zelda and Link sat at the table. Zelda sat regally, head held high. Link tried to straiten up as much as he could. They sat in silence.
"I bringeth the treats!" Ganondorf burst into the room, causing Link and Zelda to turn. Link smiled.
"Dude! What'd you get?" He asked. Ganondorf placed the small bag on the table and opened it with a flourish. Inside were a bunch of honey roasted peanuts.
"Enjoy, my lady." He said, bowing. Zelda's face cracked into a small smile as she reached for the bag.
"Thank you, sire." She giggled.
"The pleasure is mine." He said, bowing once more. He straitened up and grabbed and handful of the nuts. Link smiled and popped one in his mouth. He felt slightly jealous of Ganondorf. Ganondorf, who could make Zelda smile when he couldn't. Ganondorf, who was strong and smooth-talked the Goddesses. Not that it worked, but none the less.
Link popped the peanut in his mouth and began to chew. It felt funny in his mouth. His toung and teeth started to itch. He swallowed, feeling the itch spread to his throat. The itch turned to a burn, and the burn started to swell. He couldn't get enough air in his lungs.
"Link? Link, what's wrong man?" Ganondorf asked, reaching for more peanuts. Link started grasping for air, as if he was trying to shove it into his mouth.
"LINK!" Zelda stood up and rushed over to him. He fell out of his seat onto the floor. He couldn't see. His vision kept going fuzzy.
"LINK! Ganondorf, go get help!" Zelda wailed. She brushed his blond hair out of his eyes and felt his head. Ganondorf stood there for a second, paralyzed.
"GANONDORF!" Zelda screamed, knocking him out of his trance. He nodded and turned, stumbling over his feet. He nearly fell over, but regained himself and started to sprint to find the goddesses.
He burst in on them in the kitchen. Nayru was cooking, Farore was cleaning, and Din was lounging in a chair.
"What is it, Ganondo-"
"Link! He's…He's having trouble! I think he's dying!" he gasped for air. Farore threw her broom down and rushed after him. Nayru dropped her spoon and flew out too. Din looked startled, and followed in a rush.
They burst in on Zelda, who had her hand pressed to Link's heart. A small blue light glowed from her fingertips. Nayru threw Zelda aside and placed her hand to Links chest. Zelda stumbled back and gasped in shock. Ganondorf ran to her. He helped her up as Nayru relaxed her hand and the blue light faded.
"Is he…OK?" Zelda asked. Nayru nodded.
"He just needs rest." She whispered. Zelda nodded numbly as Farore picked Link up and carried him away. Nayru followed. Din lagged behind.
She put her arms around Ganondorf.
"I'm sorry." She whispered. "Don't go see him. He won't look too good."
Then she walked away toward their room.
Zelda started to follow, but Ganondorf grabbed her hands. Zelda looked up at him. Ganondorf began to pull her toward the front yard. Zelda strained against him.
"I want to see Link." She said. Ganondorf frowned.
"But you'll get even sadder." He said.
"What do you mean, sadder?" Zelda said. She wrenched her hand from Ganondorf.
"You're…sad." He mumbled. "Like a, um, like a blue fish."
"A blue fish?" Zelda smirked.
"Yeah. You know. Blue is a sad color. So blue fish are always sad." He puffed out his cheeks to look like a fish.
"Oh, woe. Blue is everywhere. It's so blue and sad and blue."
"Repetitive much?" Zelda couldn't help but smile. Ganondorf smiled too. Then he made a fish face. Zelda giggled. Ganondorf kept shifting his face into strange, grotesque expressions. Zelda started to laugh.
Soon they were both laughing. Zelda calmed down and wiped a bit of moisture from her eyes.
"I still want to see Link." She said. Ganondorf sighed.
"Ok." He said. They started to walk to Zelda's room. Link was most likely in there.
They had got to the door when Farore walked out.
"Is Link ok?" Zelda asked.
"Yes. But you two have to eat lunch." Farore said. She guided them into the kitchen.
"I don't want to eat! I want to see Link!" Zelda yelled.
"Yeah! Link nearly died because of food! How do we know you aren't poisoning us?" Ganondorf said defensively. "I'll bet you'd do it! Din already killed Zelda's parents!"
Zelda put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't remind me."
Farore sighed, her shoulders drooping.
"It's only squash." She said. Ganondorf and Zelda sat down as Farore put the squash dish in front of them. Ganondorf took his spoon and poked the food.
"I nominate you to taste test it. For poison." He said, pointing the spoon at Zelda. The end was still dripping with squash. Zelda frowned and pushed the spoon away.
"No. Geez." She dug her spoon in and took a dainty nibble. Ganondorf eyed her. She swallowed and looked at him watching her. He nodded vigorously and motioned with his hands for her to tell him the result. Zelda groaned and put her spoon in again.
"It's fine, imbecile." She said. Ganondorf smiled proudly and took a giant bite. It tasted funny. He chewed slowly, trying to figure out what was wrong with the food.
An itch started to tingle in the back of his throat. He spat the food onto his plate, but the tingle didn't go away.
"Zelda, I think it's poisoned! Don't eat it! It's going to-" Ganondorf felt his cheeks and jaw tingling with a strange numbness. He felt his cheeks. He could barely feel them.
"Your-your face…GANONDORF!" Zelda screamed. She ran over the table and poked his face. It looked almost like he was making a fish face again, his cheeks were so puffed up.
"It's swelling! What in Hyrule did you DO?" She yelled.
"Nothing! I ate the squash and my face went all swelly!" He waved his hands around hysterically. Zelda ran off to get the goddesses.
* * *
Zelda sat by Link and Ganondorf. They were lying in bed, unconscious. She reached out and took Ganondorf's hand. His face had swelled so much it had blocked off his airways, nearly choking him. Zelda sighed and dropped his hand.
"Zelda?" Farore and Nayru stepped in with a plate of fruit. Zelda looked up.
"You didn't eat dinner. We thought you would like some…" Farore held out the plate. Zelda nodded and picked up a strawberry. She put it in her mouth and chewed slowly.
"Fruit should be OK, right?" Farore whispered to Nayru. She nodded, and they walked out. Zelda swallowed the fruit and reached for another strawberry. She had finished about five when Ganondorf and Link began to stir.
"Wha happened?" Link slurred, touching his forehead. Ganondorf shrugged.
"I think it was all warm…" He muttered. Zelda smiled and had to retrain herself from jumping with joy. She felt a small itch on her arm, and started to scratch it in her excitement.
"I'm so happy you guys are awake! Are you feeling OK?" She asked, bouncing slightly in her seat. He legs were tingling. They each nodded.
"Yeah, I think." Link muttered.
"Why are you scratching yourself? Do you have bees in your arms?" Ganondorf chuckled. Zelda frowned.
"No. I just…my arm itches." She said, scratching harder. She pulled up her sleeve to see why she WAS scratching so hard. An angry red rash met her eyes. Her mouth dropped open and she stared hard at her skin.
"What the heck happened?" Link asked in awe.
"You look like all your blood fell out of your veins. You're like a messed up vampire." Ganondorf said. Zelda glared at him and began to scratch her back.
"It's. Not. Funny." She growled. The scratching was getting worse. "Why won't it stop itching? ARRG!!!" She screamed. She yanked down the back of her dress so that her nails could reach it better. Her back was red too.
"You're neck…" Ganondorf pointed.
"Oh, what? It looks like tomato?" Zelda snapped. Ganondorf bit back a smile.
"Actually, yeah. You look good enough to eat." He snickered. Zelda hit him on his arm. He bit back his chuckle, because the whack didn't really hurt. But he knew Zelda could hurt him.
Zelda began scratching everywhere she could reach. She couldn't seem to stop the prickles running through her skin.
"Oh…my…AAARRRGGG!!!" She screamed, practically tearing her clothes off.
"Maybe you should take your clothes off?" Ganondorf suggested. Zelda glared at him.
"NO!" She yelled when Link reached over to help her undress. She crossed her arms protectively over her chest.
"What is it?" Link asked. Zelda bit her lip and began to scratch her arms.
"Nothing! NAYRU!" She screamed. Nayru ran in and halted at the door.
"Oh no. You have a terrible rash." Nayru bent over Zelda.
"Stop scratching, you'll only make it worse." She instructed. Zelda nodded and kept her fingers balled tight in a fist.
"Come on…You know you want to…" Ganondorf taunted. Zelda narrowed her eyes. Nayru grabbed an ointment and began to rub it on Zelda's arms.
"Honestly…speak of the devil. Strawberries, I swear. Come, Zelda. Let's go to the bathroom to have some privacy." She picked up Zelda's fingers gently and pulled her to the bathroom. Zelda followed. She helped Nayru undress her so that the ointment could reach her back and stomach.
"Nayru?" Zelda asked. Nayru nodded but didn't look up from her work.
"Hm?" She asked.
"What does it mean to act like a princess?" Zelda asked. Nayru sighed.
"That's an awfully big question, love." She said, putting the cap back on the salve. Zelda looked upset.
"I know. I was just…I was just curious." She mumbled.
"Nothing wrong with that. Let me think…As a princess, you should never show too much skin, you should act regally, always do what is best for your people, be able to hold your own in a fight, never lose your temper, speak properly. Just…act regally. You are a princess; you should be treated as such. Don't let that go to your head, by the way." Nayru said warningly. Zelda nodded.
"I will not." She attempted to sound regal. She always did around Nayru. She wanted to be as regal and graceful as the goddess. "Only…it sounds so hard. Am I ever allowed to be a child?" Zelda asked pleadingly. Nayru sighed and cupped Zelda's chin in her hands.
"Oh, love…of course. That is why you are a child. Just never neglect your duties." Nayru said kindly. Zelda smiled and slipped on her nightclothes. They stuck to her skin from the ointment. She walked off, feeling proud. Nayru had never called her 'love' before. She must have done something right.

Nayru walked slowly in with her sisters.
"Is something wrong?" Farore asked.
"No. Nothing is the matter." Nayru said slowly.
"Something's wrong. You only talk like that if something is wrong." Din said, sipping her drink. Nayru sighed.
"It's Zelda. I fear…I fear she is growing up to fast. And also…what will happen when she meets her people for the fist time in her life? How will she-"
"Don't worry." Farore cut her off. "Zelda will be fine. In fact, maybe we should plan a trip for them…"
Yeah, baby. They have allergies.
Why don't you think Link eats anything? It's because everything in Hyrule is made with Peanuts. Oh yes.
So, since you were all so helpful with OOC, what does AU mean?
Is it Acute Utensils?
I doubt it.
Review! Peace! c(:
