"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"What happened?!" Zelda and Vio exclaimed as they saw Red crying again. "Blue killed us on purpose!" He motioned to the screen, where the words, "GAME OVER" were written in fancy writing over a black background.

"Why'd you do that?" Vio asked, irritated.

"'Cause he got us killed when I was playing! It's only fair!"

"Well, maybe-"

Vio was soon interrupted violently by Blue. "MAYBE WHAT? YOU WANNA PIECE A' ME?"

"No! I'm just-"

"OKAY! LET'S GO! RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!"

"SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU!"

The four Links turned. To their shock and dismay, it was the last person they expected who had said it. "Princess Zelda?!" They all asked in unison.

"Yes! I said it, okay? Why can't you guys ever just work together for once?" Her voice became pitchy, and they noticed that she was getting upset. "You've been a team before, but now that's all gone! All you ever do anymore is bicker like one giant group of old married couples! Whatever happened to being best friends and saving me, plus the rest of Hyrule? You used to all be my knights in shining armor, but now I can hardly even find comfort in Vio!" With that, she put her face in her hands and ran out of the house, slamming the door behind her.

"Whoa, someone's gettin' her monthly gift! Am I right?"

"Oh, shut up Blue." Green muttered.

"We should go talk to her." Red said softly, sniffling as he wiped tears from his eyes. "I feel really bad!"

"Nah, she needs to cool down first." Blue said, "I dunno about anyone else, but it takes me a while to cool down after getting angry!"

"Blue," Green interjected, "that's because you're the anger personality trait."

"Oh c'mon! We don't know that!"

"Uh, yes we do!"

"NO WE DON'T!"

"What do you think, Vio?" Red asked.

Vio shook his head a few times after waking from a dazed state. "Huh? What?"

The others turned to him. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Well, obvious things! But..." He trailed off.

"Go on." Green pushed.

"...I kind of thought we had something special, Zelda and I."

"Hm," Blue replied simply, "sucks."

"Yeah, sucks." He laughed dryly, looking away. "I guess it does."

-XXX-

The four Links sat in the house for a few small while, completely silent. The seconds felt like hours and the minutes felt like days as the only sound and movement proved to be the falling rain on the TV screen. Finally, causing everyone to jump, Blue asked, "So, what now? Zelda's gotta be getting cold out there. I think we've waited long enough."

"Alright, yeah, let's go talk to her." Green agreed.

"Yeah!" Red enthusiastically added.

But Vio remained silent.

"Vio?" Red asked, "Waddya say?"

"You can go." Was the reply, "I'll wait here."

"No way! You have to come with us!" Blue responded.

"Why?"

"Because you've clearly the most affected by this out of all of us! Dude, it's princess Zelda! You can't be mad at her forever! She was just trying to speak up! So what, are you going to snub her now and never hang around her ever again? You know you're going to make up eventually, so why waste your time moping and just do it already?!"

"Fine!"

"...Wait, you're gonna come with us?" The green one asked, confused.

"Yes."

"Okay," Blue said, motioning for everyone to follow as he got up and started toward the door. "That was easy."

But instead of falling in line with the other Links that got up, Vio marched right up to the door, passing the other personalities on his way, and flung it open. The wood slammed loudly as it hit the wall, and now it was Zelda's turn to be startled.

She had been sitting on the front steps moping, until the loud noise from behind brought her to her feet and turned her around. "What are you trying to do, give me a heart attack?"

"I wanted to say I was sorry." Vio said bluntly, looking her right in the eye.

"Okay, thanks Vio-"

"Sorry for wasting my time with these losers. You helped me realize that I work better alone." With that, he shot a glare over his shoulder at the others' shocked faces and began to march down the dirt-beaten path from the house.

The other Links came into line next to Zelda, outrageously confused. "What just happened?" Zelda asked, otherwise speechless.

"I don't know." The responders said with perfect unison.


A/N: Ah, poor insecure Vio! Will he learn how much he needs the others before it's too late? Will they finish the game? Will Zelda ever figure out what just happened? Find out next chapter!
