The Hyrulian Valhalla Saga
By Queenie Z
Also Into Cats
Mini loved crepes, and he loved going to get them with Green even more. Although he did not have his multicolored counterparts with him - here in the afterlife, he could split and merge personas whenever he wanted to - Green was just as much fun when he was his whole self. Maybe even more fun, since Blue and Red weren't there to cause any trouble.
In either case, the two Heroes who had used the Four Sword were busily munching on their delicious crepe. Mini took a big bite of his cream one, when suddenly a white cat crossed his path, looking up at him expectantly.
Green grinned. "Aww, I think it wants your crepe, Mini."
Mini scowled. "No way!" He gently nudged the furry creature away with his foot. "I hate cats! Go away, shoo!"
The cat mewed discontentedly, and the other Hero raised an eyebrow. "Still? You big baby, a cat can't possibly hurt you when you're this size!"
"You weren't there, Green!" Mini huffed. "That cat almost killed me and Ezlo! It was the scariest thing!"
"I bet it wasn't."
"It was!"
Suddenly, an older voice called out from around the corner. "Zelda! ...Zelda, where did you go?"
Green snickered and took a bite of his strawberry crepe. "Oh, it's Twilight. Better hope he didn't hear you!"
Just as they expected, Twilight came out from around the corner, holding a brown kitten over his shoulder with three other cats following close behind. He spotted the white one and smiled.
"There you are, Zelda. Don't run off like that!" He reached down and scratched the cat he named after the princess with his free hand. "I don't think Mini's going to want to share his food, anyway."
"Of course not!" the flustered boy blurted out. "It's my crepe! I'm not giving it to that thing!"
At that, the older Hero's face turned into an expression of unadulterated hurt. "Mini... I know you don't like cats very much, but that was just mean." He sat the kitten he was carrying down and picked up Zelda, holding her up to Mini. "You should apologize."
Green nearly choked on his food trying to hold back laughter, and Mini looked at Twilight as if he'd gone positively mad. "W-What!? Are you kidding!?"
"No, I'm not kidding! You don't have to be scared of these guys here, so you should at least be kind to them."
He grimaced, first at Twilight, then at his snickering companion, and then finally at the cat. But... he knew the crazy cat lover was right. He didn't have a reason to hate cats anymore - he didn't have a reason to hate much of anything anymore. He was dead, after all. Maybe they didn't deserve his ire.
So, biting his lip, Mini held out his crepe to the cat. "I'm sorry," he muttered under his breath.
Twilight grinned. "There, wasn't that better?"
"I guess..."
Zelda meowed in delight and licked a bit of cream off of the boy's crepe.
