"You sold all my clothes?!?!?" Eddy, a few moments before sailing away, shouted at his guilty parents from beyond their doorway. "But- but we thought you we're dead!" his mother pleaded, "And we needed food! So we sold everything, not just your clothes!"

"Yeah, but without my old clothes I'm stuck wearing these!" Eddy tugged at his shirt and tripped over a rock. "Ah, who needs ya? I just go buy my own clothes for once!" and with that he stormed off. Let's see if I can find those 100 rupees on my own! In truth there was another reason Eddy went along with his friends on this dangerous, suicidal mission (But the rupees had a larger influence still). Ever since this adventure began Double d's been acting loads braver than he usually does, and Eddy knew that when this was over he'd be remembered as some sort of "Hero". So what's a shameless scammer to do? Cash in on it, of course! But the only way to get the money and the glory is to stick it out to the end. If Double d can save the world, than so can I! In truth Double d's courage inspired Eddy to fight this battle. So let's see, if I had a hundred rupees and I needed to stash them somewhere safe, where would I stash them? He pondered this while walking across the bridge to the main residences of Outset. Of course! Under his house!

Eddy crawled under Double ds staircase through a tunnel that led to his cellar. There he found an unlocked chest Bingo! In it he found an orange rupee, worth 100 green rupees. But what he heard overhead influenced him more, "Don't ever leave us again, please." That was the loudest part of the conversation, thus all Eddy could hear through the muffling walls. Double d's callin' it Quits? Well in that case, I'm outta here!

While the King of red lions was asleep he untied it and started sailing away, but then a voice shouted across the waves, "Eddy, stop!" Double d was feebly swimming across the bay while Eddy momentarily stopped. "What on earth's gotten into you?"

"The rupees I found!" Eddy showed the orange treasure to his soaked friend.

"Really? You're abandoning the journey for money?"

"You're one to talk! After all that hero-garbage you've been spouting along the way, you're just gonna walk out on us when you're parent's beg hard enough?"

"W-walk out? What on earth are you-"

"GUYS!" Ed ran across the beach, concern all over his face.

"Ed? Are you alright?" Double d asked, momentarily forgetting about Eddy. Ed stopped at the shore and grabbed the shoreline and gave it a tug, ripping the water in two. The king of red lions fell between the severed waves and Double d stared unbelievingly. "Trouble! Bad! Jimmy! SCARY!" Ed leapt into the boat and shook a little. "Suck it in Ed, Double d's got something he wants to tell us!"

"Eddy, I think there's been some sort of misunderstanding. My father's given me his blessing to carry on with this journey."

"Look, if you want to go on, that's fine. But I'm out. I found my money and I'm sick of throwing myself into danger! Now put the sea back together Ed."

"But what about the sea chart?" Double d asked, "and 'teaching that overgrown seagull a lesson?" Eddy stopped and looked back at his friends, knowing they had a point.

"Let's sing a song!" Ed shouted.

"That's stupid, Ed."

"Actually Eddy, that seems like a good idea. We've been long overdue for a song-based interlude."

"Fine I'll sing, but I won't like it. So what're we singing about?"

"Well, umm . . . how about the hero of time?"

"That old guy? What's he gotta do with us?"

"Plenty! I'll show you . . ." Double d took out the windwaker and started playing a tune, 'What would Brian Boitano do?' to be precise. And began improvising the words: {I'd recommend playing the song while reading this part. Also, the singer's fonts are the same as during the flashback. Try and keep up!}

"What would the old hero do, if he were here right now? He'd make a plan and he'd follow through, that's what the Hero would do!"

"When the hero was in the kokiri, fighting Queen Gohma, he used the Kokiri slingshot and he killed her in three shots!

And when the hero was on Death Mountain, fighting Dodongos, he used the near-by bomb flowers to kill his dragon foes!

So what would the old hero do if he were here today? I'm sure he'd bash a beast or two, that's what the hero would do!

I only care about money; it's my only reason for living.

And I just want my mom, not to punish her bad son.

For Tetra I'd be an activist too, 'cause that's what the hero would do! Suddenly the music stopped, "What'd you say, Double d?" Eddy asked.

"Erm . . . nothing! Let's continue on with the song, yes?"

And what would the old hero do, He'd call all the kids around. And tell them to unite for truth, that's what the hero would do!

Did someone say my name?

Who are you, Mr.?

Al Gore!

What? Sorry Mr. We were singing about the real hero!

Indeed, you're not even scheduled to make an appearance in this fan fiction.

Oh, Damn conservative author . . .

When the old hero traveled through time, to when all seemed at an end, he fought the evil desert-king to save the kingdom once again.

And when the hero was in the forest, he beat up the skull-kid!

'Cause the hero'll never be beat by ANY-BODY . . .

So let's all pull together, and unite to stop Gannon! And we'll save Sarah and Aryll too, 'cause that's what the hero would do.

And we'll save Sarah and Aryll too, 'Cause that's what the hero would Dooooooo, CAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE HERO WOULD DO!

"Hold it, hold it, HOLD IT!" Eddy looked back at Double d, "Who the heck's Aryll?"

"My long-lost aunt, the one who inspires the telescope and lookout's names. And as of now I will not rest until she too is freed from the Forsaken Fortress!"

"Ok, but what about the part with Tet-"

"Um, Ed! You said there was something wrong with Jimmy?"

"Jimmy? JIMMY!" Ed grabbed Double d by the wrist and dragged him to the shore. "Wait Ed! What about the water?" Ed looked back and smiled, he ran to the run-aground boat and lifted it up onto the right side of the split-waters, with Eddy still in it. Then he took the split bay and slammed it together again, causing a bizarre mountain of water. "Hardly noticeable Ed. Coming, Eddy?"

"Yeah, be there in a sec!" Eddy piloted the still-sleeping raft to the shore, thinking about the money he had yet to find out there I'll quit later!
