Adventure Pouch Appreciation Chapter
Green wobbled from side to side as he tried to carry a huge pile of, well, stuff back to his house. He bit his lip and a bead of sweat rolled down his face as he attempted to keep his balance whilst also balancing a bomb bag, a boomerang, his bow and quiver, a hammer, a shovel, and a pair of pegasus boots in his arms. As he walked further and further, however, he knew he couldn't keep it up all the way to his home, and soon he had no choice but to drop his items in the middle of the road and sit down to rest.
"Dammit," he cursed breathlessly, wiping his face with his sleeve.
"What's this?" asked a voice from behind him, "Spring cleaning?"
Green turned to see Engie, eying the pile of items with a cocked eyebrow. He sighed and shook his head.
"Uh-uh," he said, "my pouch got torn."
Engie's face changed into an expression of concern. "That's not good," he muttered, walking over to Green's tools and pondering what to do with them. "With as much stuff as we carry around, we need to keep our pouches in good shape."
"I know, I know," replied Green with a pitiful look. He glanced down at the ground. "Man, you really take for granted how useful an adventure pouch is until you can't use one anymore. Without them, we would have had to carry around tons of stuff all over Hyrule!"
"Yeah, and there's no way we could have done our jobs like that." Engie opened up his own pouch and began to place Green's items inside of it. "It's not something we usually think about - I mean, practically everybody has one - but they really do help a lot."
Green saw what he was doing and stood. "Hey, what gives? I was taking that back to my house!"
Engie snickered. "It's okay, Green, I'm just trying to help. Is this everything?"
"No," said Green, scratching his head bashfully, "there's another pile back a little ways."
"Then let's go get it. I'll keep your stuff safe until you can get your pouch fixed." Engie smiled. "I bet Twilight would be willing to fix it up for you if you asked him."
Green couldn't help but return the grin. "Yeah, those goats have probably eaten a few holes in his own pouch before. If anyone can fix it up, it'd be him."
As the two Heroes began walking back towards the rest of Green's things, they vowed to never ever take their magical adventure pouches for granted again.
