…Oh… My… Fucking… God. I Am SOOOOO Sorry this is so late!!!!

I've been at my uncles lately and haven't been able to get enough time on the computer!!! I feel SO bad!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!

Dark Link – Just get on with it!

Link – Yeah! I wanna know what happens next!!

Eranda – Aren't you in this story?

Dark Link – THIS ISN'T YOUR STORY!

Eranda – hey, hey, hey! Let's just read this! (she'd like to apologize for all the breaks, too—the stories coming to an end soon, so…)

*All agree*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up the next morning and laid there, staring at the ceiling. What if he doesn't accept my question? What if he turns me down forever? What if he stops talking to me? What if he moves out!

Gah! What am I going to do?!

You busy?

I looked at the sender and rolled my eyes.

Just wallowing in my sorrow. What up?

I replied.

What's wrong lil bumblebee?

I felt myself gag.

Excuse me whil puke.

I chuckled at that.

Me-ow.

What u want?

Seeing what u up to.

NOT A TEST SUBJECT!

Damn.

Later, Vaat, I gotta date to make.

That cute guy ur always with?

I fell off my bed and looked around, hurrying over to the window and shutting the blinds.

What u do that for, Darky?

VAATI!!!

Lax, I=home.

I highly doubt that.

It true. Bye.

Bye, jackass.

I resent that.

Good.

Good

Good

And that went on for an hour, so I'll just hit fast-forward

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I picked up my phone and finally texted Link after about an hour of picking up the phone, putting it back down, picking it up, putting it back down, et cetera, et cetera.

Hey, you wanna hang out today?

O.O I was just about to txt u.

Awkward

Very

Well, do you?

Totally! Where/when?

Uh… how bout park, bring swimsuit.

Why?

Nope!

Meanie *pout*

Lol *rub head*

Meow.

My eye twitched remembering my last conversation.

Good kitty, c u soon?

See ya.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was walking toward the park in my white wife-beater, a matching set of basketball 'bracelets' (they were black and had a golden triforce on them) and my black swimming trunks with little white lines on the bottom.

I sat down at the benches and faced the way Link would be coming to wait.

I had waited for about five minutes when, suddenly, someone's hands covered my eyes.

"Guess who!"

"Uhm… Vaati?"

"Who's that?"

"Damn… huh…" I sighed, overdramatically. "Hm… Naa?"

"I sound like Naa?" He almost-whined.

"No, you don't Link."

"Thanks- Wait, hey!"

I laughed as he released my eyes and laid on the bench next to me. I grinned, looking over my shoulder at him before messing with his hair.

"What was that for?"

"You're getting too uptight with your hair, here…" I mumbled, screwing my hand around in it, and twisting it in the long parts.

"What ARE you doing?" He snapped, trying to slap my hand away.

"Fine, fine, you don't need my help, com' on, let's go."

"Where are we going? And why do I need to wear my swimsuit!"

"You'll see." I grinned at him as I helped him up.

"You're not going to tell me!" He whined.

I smiled and kissed his forehead, making him give me a quizzical look as I did so. "I thought you liked that one guy."

"What about him?" If only he knew…

"Why're you kissing me, if you like him?"

I felt my face twist up to show nervousness before sighing and shaking my head. "C'mon, let's go. I want you two to meet."

"Oh." He sounded hurt.

DAMNIT!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a while of walking through the ghetto streets I noticed Link was looking at me, confused… or in awe.

"What?"

"It's just that… I've never seen you without your, well a, jacket on."

"Oh…" I paused. "Right… Actually, it's the first time I've gone a day without it since… since second grade? Yeah, I think that was it."

"Second grade? Dark! He's been doing it that long!"

I jumped back and let out my hitched breath. "Don't startle me like that."

My phone rang and I looked at the number, what's the matter, Darky-poo?

"Darky-poo? Who's that? It's that guy, right?" Link questioned over my shoulder.

"DARK LINK!" I jumped and looked back before grabbing onto his hand and telling him to run.

"Wha- why?!"

"You don't wanna know!" I replied, hurrying forward and dragging him.

"Hey! It's Midna!"

"Exactly!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Was Midna the one texting you?" he asked when we finally stopped.

I shook my head as I saw the brown haired kid walking over. His shirt was red and his pants green while his belt was orange.

"Oh, Skull, how's it going?" I asked as he neared.

"I thought that was you, D-L."

"D-L?"

"Right, Link, this is Skull, he's the top of the gang I used to hang with."

They shook hands as Skull looked between us and put his brown brimmed hat back on.

"You used to be in a gang?"

"Don't get me wrong, that was a long time ago," I motioned to Skull and said, "Besides, since he took over, the gangs been in, uh, good hands…?"
I felt an arm around my shoulders and a hard shake. "Dude, haven't seen you without your jack, D-L. Why'd you always wear that thing?"

"Always cold." I replied, pushing him off of me.

"Well, prison shaped you up, huh?"

Link gave me a look full of fear as I continued to glare at Skull.

"I NEVER WENT THERE! GET IT STRAIGHT!"

"Where'd you go?"

"To school." Link paused and shied closer.

"There's a difference?"

"Yes, there is. At prison, they find felons like you, at school, you find… Well, you find men like this," I replied, gesturing to Link.

Skull took a moment and wrapped his arm around my neck, pulling me closer as he whispered in my ear.

My face matched Link's scarlet one in mere seconds as I pushed him off and stepped in front. "No. I've seen what you've done to those girls; you don't need to show me with the men."

"Aww, but D-L! He's a cute one."

"Exactly, which is why you're not touching him."

"Aww, D-L!"

"Skull! Get a grip! Did you not see those girls after you finished with them? You're a monster like that! And I'm tired of you getting away with that. Going after my friends is too far."

"Sorry, sorry, no need to bash me—it was only harmless fun!"

"Right, say that to all those women who will never be the same again because of your 'harmless fun'."

"At least they didn't get pregnant!"

"Pregnant? They'll never trust a man again! You raped them, and you think you're going to get away with that! Skull, you're out of your mind!"

"And so what if I am?" He grinned, pushing me out of the way and pinning Link to the wall.

Fuck. I just had to defend him… But if I hadn't he'd still do that!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/n

Link – YOU MADE SKULL KID TRY TO RAPE ME?!

JiraiyaW – SORRY! (But it is cute, Darky-poo defending you and all)

Dark - ///O///.///O/// DON'T SAY THAT!

Link – wait, were you the one that was texting Dark earlier?

Dark&JiraiyaW – Nope!

Link – Then who?

Guess you'll have to wait to find out, huh? And what will Dark do to save his Linky?
