Welcome back everyone, it's time for chapter 58! The party's getting into full swing, but just what awaits Link on his nineteenth year...?
Link's birthday party continued through the day, and it soon came time to bring out the gifts everyone had gotten him. It was a pretty large stack of various shapes and sizes, all brought by the people of the palace and the guests, even a few of the guards attending had some gifts for him.
"Jees guys, you didn't have to get me anything..." Link said, rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment, "I'm not a child anymore..."
"But we didn't get a chance to celebrate your birthdays from when you were a kid, so we have to catch up on that!" Aviel said.
"Yeah, we didn't have much to hand out for birthdays at Kokiri Forest besides flower arrangements and fruit bowls." Saria said, "But as a Hylian and now a Gerudo, I think you should have the chance to celebrate like one!"
"...well alright, if you're all gonna put it that way, bring em on!" Link nodded with a big eager grin.
"So much for not being a child anymore." giggled Korume in amusement.
Link started to receive and open each of the gifts from the girls attending the party; Nemisa had gotten him some imported cologne, Togau got Link a new travel canteen and so on. It warmed Link's heart to see just how much the girls all thought so much about him, and he knew he'd have to do more now then ever to help them all and see to their happiness in return.
"So what's this Sarami?" Link asked, holding up a green corked bottle from the wrapping paper.
"It's a bottle of your favorite chu jelly mix drink!" Sarami said proudly, "Aviel told me how you like it, so I developed it from my samples at the clinic. It's fermented too, but please drink it responsibly!"
"Jees, thank you." Link said, flattered by Sarami's thoughtfulness.
"That gift comes with a bonus too!" Sarami said mischievously, as she gave Link a gentle kiss on the cheek, causing his face to flush red as the other girls looked with wide eyes.
"Oooh... so is the head doctor next in line for your fiances, King Link?" grinned one of the Sandstorm Vipers.
"Ah w-well..." Link stammered as all the girls looked at him curiously, "I don't know if she would... really.. she says she doesn't... want to, uh..."
"Oh come off it Link, we saw how close you two were back at the hot spring resort." snickered Togau, "How 'bout after this party you two go into the bedroom together and do some hot bonkin'?"
"Hey, I already called him for tonight!" Ruto exclaimed, holding an embarrassed Link tightly.
Sarami seemed to be in thought as she said with a mischievous grin as her glasses let off a gleam, "Well he's quite sweet, and from what I saw back then, well built to perform..."
Sovan, the other four Vipers and Nemisa's three friends all practically spit out their drinks upon hearing that and started asking many questions to Link's fiances and bedmates, like how good he looked in the nude, how well he took to pleasuring them in bed, and how many kids they wanted to have.
All this just resulted in Link becoming even more embarrassed, covering his head with an empty bowl.
"You're pure evil, you know that Sarami?" Nabooru said to the doctor with a smirk.
"Fu-fu-fufufu..." Sarami just giggled.
"Um, so I don't have anything to give you today, my beloved king..." Leivuri spoke up with a small blush after everyone calmed down, "But I'm working on a project that I plan to give you as soon as I'm done." with that, she held up a piece of black cloth that was about the size of a large handkerchief, "It's a royal cape for when you go to meet with the Parliament, I just hope I can complete it before then."
"That's really thoughtful Leivuri." Link nodded, "Just don't push yourself too hard, especially if it turns out you are pregnant."
"Yes, of course." Leivuri said with a light smile, as she rubbed her stomach with her free hand.
"When are we going to find out about that anyway?" Aviel asked, bouncing up and down on her seat, "I wanna see Link finally become a daddy!"
"It'll be a little longer before I can get a definite result." Sarami said, "But the fact the three aren't menstruating is a good sign!"
"Man-stew... eat-ing... what does that mean?" Aviel asked tilting her head.
"Well 'eating man-stew' is what you get when you put your mouth over Link's-" Togau was cut off by Nemisa whacking her upside the head.
"It just means what happens when you bleed out in 'that' spot." sighed Nemisa.
"Ooooh, right... that thing." Aviel said, glancing to the side with a slightly annoyed look in her eyes.
"Is the dining table really the time to talk about that kind of thing?!" Nabooru shouted.
"Kukuku, now have our gift Link." Korume said, sliding their gift box to him, "Me and Kesuta made this just for you... …me mostly..."
"Hey!"
Link stared down at the package with a pause, then up to the two girls who just gave it to him.
"Are you girls sure this is just a normal gift...?" Link asked skeptically, recalling the past times the mystic twins pulled pranks on the group, most notably the fire and ice wisps they used as ghosts to haunt the palace, or the stunt Kesuta pulled at Togau's ranch with the cow.
"Hey that's mean, we worked really hard on it!" Kesuta said with a pout.
"This isn't a prank, we wouldn't do that to you one bit." Korume nodded in agreement with a rhyme to Kesuta's words.
Link looked to the two, and the sincere look in their eyes, and he nodded to himself.
"Alright then, sorry about that girls, I'll trust you." Link said as he gave a heart-warming smile to the two of them. Kesuta practically melted from the sight as Korume put her hands to her cheeks blushing, while Link opened the gift box.
"T-This is...!" Link exclaimed in shock as the others gathered around to see what was inside...
The gift box was filled to the brim with many cookies, all decorated with frosting and hearts on them in colors of orange and blue, and drawn on the hearts themselves were Gerudo symbols Link recognized as 'love' and 'happiness'.
"C-Cookies? You two made these?" Nemisa asked looking up at the twins in shock.
"They look delicious..." Aviel muttered with a bit of drool hanging from her mouth.
"Yeah, these do look great..." Link said, picking one up, he sported a great smile, "Thank you two so much." he said as he went ahead and took a bite into one of the cookies.
"Guess we could trust em after all!" Togau said with a grin.
"GIRK!"
Everyone heard a strange sound and looked to Link. His entire face was pale white and grimaced, he clenched his teeth, as his pupils shrank down into a wide eyed stare.
"Link?!" Saria exclaimed in panic.
"It's...t-too..." Link muttered, then swayed around in a daze, before falling backwards as Nabooru caught him.
"Link, hang in there!" Nabooru shouted in desperation, she looked to the twins who seemed just as surprised, and shouted to them, "What the hell did you two put in these cookies?!"
"Nothing bad, we swear!" Kesuta exclaimed, quickly filled with concern for Link as well.
"Could it possibly be the cookies were somehow poisoned by an assassin?!" Nemisa asked, looking over Link to make sure he was still conscious.
Nabooru broke out into a cold sweat at the possibility, as a thought occurred to her...
"No, my beloved husband!" wailed Ruto in tears.
"Please clear the way and allow me to check him!" Sarami shouted, kneeling down to Link and looking him over, "Hm, he's not experiencing any symptoms of poisoning, and there's nothing toxic on his tongue.."
As the girls were all crowded around concerned for Link's well-being, Sovan meanwhile looked over to the gift box herself, took a cookie, sniffed at it and then nibbled on it just a bit, before spitting it right our.
"YUCK!" Sovan shouted, then turned to the twins, "You two didn't use salt instead of sugar for these things, did you?!"
"Huh?" everyone asked at once.
"What? Of course we didn't!" Kesuta protested.
"Hm, wait... as that I recall, you were the one retrieving the sugar when I asked for it..." Korume muttered to her sister, "Don't tell me you actually..."
"No way, I'm not that stupid!" Kesuta said defensively, taking a cookie and biting into it, "There's no way I mistook-"
Keusta then froze up, with a similar expression to Link's. She started to sway left and right, before collapsing backwards onto the ground.
"You really are that stupid, sister." Korume muttered as everyone else just let out a collective sigh.
"Okay husband, now you can open my gift!" Ruto said cheerfully, holding up a sizable, heavily decorated box.
After Link and Kesuta snapped out of their illness from the salty cookies, and Kesuta was done apologizing to everyone, they went back the gift opening, and Ruto was the second-to-last on the stack.
"Alright then." Link nodded, opening it up. Inside the gift box was a fancy blue tunic with matching boots and gloves that appeared to have fin-like attachments and webbed ends where the fingers and toes would go, and a long cap with a fin shape at the end.
"Woah, so what is this?" Link asked.
"This is a Zora Master's Tunic, I had it crafted just for you honey! It's made of the enchanted material that normal Zora Tunics are crafted from to help you breathe underwater, while the boots, gloves and cap are used to help you swim more efficiently!" Ruto boasted.
"Very nice, I love this design..." Nemisa said, running a hand along the material.
"I know you guys sell Zora Tunics, but I've never seen something like this." Link said surprisingly.
"I thought you'd appreciate having it for when you all come to meet with my people about the alliance." Ruto nodded, "And now with this you and I can spend all night in the water if we desire!" she said with dreamy suggestive eyes.
"That doesn't sound too bad actually." Link said grinning to Ruto as he thought about what they could do underwater...
"Hey, no doing stuff like that in the pool." Nabooru said sternly.
Link went ahead and put the cap on his head, adjusting it so it would fit almost completely over his hair, though there were two strands sticking out and hanging down from his sides.
"How do I look?" he asked.
"Hee hee, you look almost like a Zora with that!" giggled Saria, "What do you think Ruto?"
Ruto sat there staring with a bit of drool hanging from her mouth before shaking it off, "J-Just fine, I suppose!"
"Think she approves big time!" snickered Togau.
"Let's see.. this last one's from Nabooru," Link said looking it over. The paper was rather loosely wrapped around the square flat box then the others, and some parts looked like they were torn in the middle of the wrapping.
"I'm, uh, not very good at that sort of thing..." Nabooru said looking to the side embarrassingly.
"It looks just fine." Link grinned. She had went through all the trouble to wrap the item up herself, which meant more to him then anything. He undid the paper, opened the box, and everyone sat in awe of what it was.
It was a medium sized shield, with steel edges and the material used for the main part was black colored, with silver and gold used to decorate it. The shield had various Gerudo markings lining the sides of it, and in the center was the design of a womanly being with six arms, each arm holding a different symbol of a weapon.
"That's Hotaig, the war goddess on the front isn't it?" Korume said with wide eyes, "So that's what you were working with mother last week to get?"
"Yes, this is the Hotaig Shield, an ancient treasure of our people." Nabooru said, "As the goddess of war, she had it crafted from tempered steel and refined opal to resist the power of nearly any weapon crafted by mortal man." she placed a hand on her king's shoulder, "And as our king, you deserve to hold it proud and to fight for what you believe in. Our war goddess has bestowed it onto you with her blessing."
"Me and Lady Nabooru performed a ritual to the goddesses for permission to use it's power. You should have seen how eager Nabooru was when we retrieved it from Hotaig's shrine." Koleima said with a giggle.
"Heh..." Nabooru muttered with a light blush, "T-That's enough Koleima..."
"This shield is really impressive..." Link said, holding it up, then equipping it, "I'll use it from now on to protect myself and everyone. Thanks Nabooru, Ms. Koleima."
"It was our pleasure son-in-law." said Koleima, happy to be able to refer to Link like that.
"Come on Saria!" Aviel then said anxiously, "Give him your gift now!"
"I... um..." Saria stammered, "O-Okay... it's not as nice as Nabooru's but..." with that Saria pulled out and handed Link the small wrapped box she was holding before, but too nervous to hand it over immediately. He undid the paper and opened the box to see what was inside; a small wooden brown and green medal carved carefully with the image of a tree on it.
"Aww, how cute!" Nemisa's friend Otuko said looking at it.
"This is nice Saria, where'd you get it?" Link asked, "It looks kind of familiar..."
"I um..." Saria looked to the side, then spoke in a really small voice, "I'm not very good with picking out gifts... and... I sorta... made it?"
"You made this? It looks like something crafted by the higher powers above!" Koleima said in surprise.
"I just went to Kokiri Forest through the warp point and took a small piece off of the tree we built your house from. I just thought maybe you'd like a piece of the village you came from with you..." Saria spoke, blushing lightly.
Link smiled softly, gazing at the medal, and the picture carved into it. It may not have been the most glamorous gift he had received that day, but just the sheer amount of effort she had put into making this meant the world to him. The medal also meant a lot more then Saria had probably meant to, as he recalled the time he saw her again in the dark future...
Taking a look up at Saria and seeing the embarrassed look on her face, and he knew what he had to do in that moment. Link got himself up and walked over to where Saria was, kneeling down and giving her a soft hug.
"Thank you Saria... I'll keep it by my side." Link whispered.
Saria was taken back by Link's loving hug. His arms were strong, but he was so gentle as he held her, and she found herself having trouble resisting the urge to hold him back.
But the two were taking out of the moment by a collective amounts of loud "Aww!"s from everyone else there.
Link and Saria paused, then quickly separated with blushing red looks on their faces as everyone laughed out loud. Korume in particular looked to the Kokiri girl with a small knowing smirk on her lips...
After Link properly thanked everyone attending the party for coming and the gifts, they all went back to friendly chatting among each other.
"You doing alright Saria?" Aviel spoke up to the Kokiri, sitting down beside her and Nemisa's friend Sumof, as the three watched Link nervously working up the courage to pet Togau's pet cucco Imra, by the rancher's encouragement.
"Oh, um, y-yes." Saria said blushing.
"So what's Link doing anyway? He looks nervous with that cute bird." Sumof asked in curiosity.
"I think he's trying to get over his fear of cuccos. Apparently he had a lot of bad experiences with them as a kid." Saria said.
"Fear huh...?" Aviel asked, "Hey Saria, can we talk?"
"Hm? About what?" Saria asked taking a sip of water.
"About you liking Link." Aviel bluntly said, causing Saria to spit out her drink.
Just as Link was about to pet the Imra the cucco, the water had flown across the table and all over Imra, who glared angerly up at Link, before flying up and pecking at his head. This prompted Link to panic and run away from the mad cucco while Togau frantically chased after them.
"Don't say that in front of everyone Aviel!" Saria exclaimed.
"Hee hee, don't worry about it Saria, they all pretty much know at this point." Aviel grinned.
"It's really that obvious huh...?" Saria asked sighing.
"When I first met Link he was pretty shy around girls, and he still is, but I think time has made him a lot more bold then he used to be, at least that's what Nemisa, Togau, the twins and Ruto have told me." Aviel said, "We can tell he wants to be the same with you, but he's having a harder time admitting it."
"O-Oh...?" Saria asked.
"I'm not sure what's holding him back at this point, but I think you should do your part too. You just need to be a little more... aggressive with him!" Aviel nodded.
"Aggressive with him...?" muttered Saria, remembering what happened that morning with the four flashing girls. Aviel then suddenly wrapped the Kokiri in a hug with her bird wings.
"We all love you as our sister Saria, and we want you to be happy with Link... Just keep that in mind, okay?" Aviel asked.
Saria smiled lightly a the girl's encouraging words. Link would often tell Saria that despite how childish and ditsy she could be, Aviel could have moments of mature wisdom. She then returned the hug of friendship to the bird girl.
"Thanks Aviel." Saria nodded.
"Gyyyaaah!"
It was then the two watched as Link went running past them with Imra and a whole flock of cucco chasing after him. Oddly enough some cows went running by at the same time, along with a pack of goats and even a dog balancing on a beach ball following after them. As absurd as that was, Togau made things weirder by running by after them all in her Lynel form, with a group of guards in pursuit of the rancher, apparently mistaking her for a monster again.
"You guys throw weird parties." Saria said sweatdropping.
"Uh-huh." Aviel agreed.
The celebration of Link's birthday continued through the evening. Everyone spent their time happily playing and chatting with each other through the afternoon and well into the evening.
"Now, watch carefully everyone." Ruto said to Link, Aviel, Nemisa and Nabooru, as she stood before a line of empty glass bottles stacked alongside each other on a table.
She brought up her hand and pointed her thumb upwards and her index finger outward, then a spiral of water started to from, and from that a shot of water flew out from her finger, it went shooting across the room at incredible speed and impacted directly into a bottle, knocking it over. She then proceeded to shot down the rest of the bottles with quick and precise aim.
"That was such a cool trick Ruto!" Aviel said with her goggles on to get a good look at the water shot. "I didn't know you could spray water from your finger like that! It looked like it was going at least three hundred and fifty feet per second!"
Ruto smirked and blew some water off the tip of her finger, "Just a little trick only the most elite Zoras such as myself can perform. You haven't seen the extent of what I can do!"
"Would you not put my old alcohol bottles up front and center like that?" Nabooru complained.
The party had ended some time ago, and the guests had all returned to their homes, leaving Link, Nabooru, Aviel, Nemisa, and Ruto alone to try out the various gifts Link received that day.
"Alright then Ruto, give me the extent of what you got!" Link shouted, holding up the Hotaig Shield.
"Okay, if you insist my husband!" Ruto nodded, aiming and firing a particularly powerful shot at Link. While the impact made him back up a little, the attack sure enough bounced off the shield.
"Heh, as expected of you. It looks like you already got the hang of our war goddess' shield Link!" Nabooru grinned.
"Yep, I'll be relaying on this from now on." Link nodded.
"So how does this cologne stuff work?" Aviel asked, looking over the bottle, "It's supposed to just make Link smell good?'
"Now wait a minute, be careful with that, it cost a-" Nemisa spoke up, but was cut off by a squirt of cologne getting on her when Aviel squeezed the cap too hard, "..lot."
"Hey, you do smell good!" Aviel said leaning forward and sniffing at Nemisa, before her partner went chasing after her around the room in a fury.
The young king Link then took a moment to look around and ask, "Hey, has anyone seen Saria?"
"She said she had something to do in her room, but she'd come back for when we all go to the pool later." Aviel said.
"Alright, I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with the tunic Ruto got me." Link nodded.
"Link..."
It was then a voice spoke up, getting everyone's attention.
"Huh?" Link asked, looking around.
"Link..." repeated the voice, as they all saw Saria slowly walked into the dining room. Everyone looked in confusion at Saria as she slowly walked up to the group with her head hung downwards. Her body was slowly swaying around as she moved right up to Link.
"Saria...? What's the matter?" Link asked with concern, leaning downward a bit to try and look her over.
"Don't tell me she ate one of Kesuta's cookies." Nabooru spoke with worry.
It was then Saria's head suddenly rose up and she lunged at Link, wrapping her arms around his waist, and knocking him over onto the ground, surprising everyone.
"What th-?" Nemisa stammered.
Link found himself laying back on the ground, with Saria holding him tightly, nuzzling her head affectionately against his chest as her body rubbed against him. Link's face had turned heavily red from how she was acting.
"W-What on earth has gotten into her?!" Ruto exclaimed.
"Saria, what's going on?" Link exclaimed.
"Link... I want you..." whispered Saria, with her face buried against his chest, before looking up at him with a dreamy expression on her face, "I want you to take me, and touch me all over... please make me yours right now!" she then shouted.
Saria crawled up so her face met with his, she stared into his eyes for a second, before she closed her own eyes, and moved her lips towards his own. Link was at a loss about how to react to his closest friend, his first instinct was to pull her off to see what was wrong with her, but a certain part of him deep inside was tempted to hold back... He then found himself snapping back to reality though as Nabooru grabbed Saria by her top and lifted her up into the air.
"Okay, that's enough of that!" Nabooru said.
"What's wrong with her?" Nemisa asked, looking Saria over as she hung limply from Nabooru's hand, muttering incoherently to herself.
"I have no idea, she's never acted like that before!" Link said, sitting up.
'I didn't think she'd be THAT aggressive...' Aviel thought to herself.
"Link.. I want to... I want you to lo-... want... touch..." Saria continued to mutter.
Nabooru took that moment to get a good look at the Kokiri girl and saw the expression in her eyes, they had a sort of purple tint to them. They definitely didn't look natural, like there was something afflicting her. She narrowed her eyes upon the realization of what was going on and called out loud,
"Okay you two, come on out here and explain yourselves!"
"Kee hee hee... looks like we were caught, and our little trick has been blown." a familiar voice said from the shadows.
"We probably should have waited until our lovely king was alone." another said, as two girls stepped into the room.
"Kesuta and Korume? We should have guessed." Nemisa said narrowing her eyes, "What have you two done with Saria?"
"It's fine, no worries, we just put her into a temporary trance." Kesuta said waving her hand dismissively.
"We were hoping she'd go far enough to at least remove his pants." Korume giggled with a rhyme.
Nabooru set down Saria gently and was about to punish the two mystics, but Link just slowly stepped up to them. His features were darkened which caused the giggling twins to stop and freeze up in worry, before Link firmly whacked the two girls on the forehead with his hands in a chopping motion.
"Ow! No need for that!" Kesuta exclaimed with upset tears in her eyes, but shut up when she saw Link's expression.
"What... did you do to her exactly...?" Link asked, clearly cold and angry with his twin wives.
"All.. all we did was use our new hypnotic technique on her... it will wear off soon!" Korume said nervously.
"Wait, hypnotic? Since when have you two known hypnotism?" Nemisa asked.
"Just recently, our mother has been helping us get down the basics." Kesuta said.
"It's a magic that runs in our family, but only after extensive training can we use it effectively." Korume said.
'Oh right, Twinrova tried to use that on both Nabooru and Kesuta before in the past.' Link remembered.
"But why would you do something like that to Saria?" Aviel shouted.
"Well..." the twins trailed off, but then it was interrupted by Saria moaning out.
The Kokiri girl's eyes flickered, and went back to their bright blue from before. She blinked her eyes and few times and looked around.
"Huh...? What happened... to...?" Saria muttered.
"Oh! You okay there Saria?" Link asked with concern, leaning towards her.
Upon seeing Link''s face so close to hers Saria's own face turned bright reed, as memories of what she was doing a minute ago wee recalled.
"L-Link, I... I..."
And with that Saria passed out in Link's arms, and he let out a soft sigh.
"I guess she's okay now, I'll go ahead and get her to bed." Link went ahead and lifted Saria up in his arms.
"I'll have Dr. Sarami come back tomorrow morning to make sure she's okay." Nabooru affirmed, but with a slight look of unease.
"Thanks Nabooru." Link spoke, then added coldly to the twins without so much as looking at them, "I love you two, but you need to answer for this later..."
"We're sorry!" Kesuta and Korume both shouted as they hugged each other in fear.
Link carried Saria in his arms off down the hallway to her bedroom. Despite her being asleep, she was clinging her hands to his vest. Link couldn't help but blush a little as he brought Saria to her bed and set her down onto it, pulling the sheets over her.
"Good night Saria." Link whispered.
Saria laid there, muttering a "Night..." but it was then she did something that caught Link completely off guard.
Even though she was deep in sleep, she had risen her head up and was puckering her lips just a little, as if she was expecting a goodnight kiss.
Link blushed at seeing that, as his mind went back to the nights when she used to tuck him into bed back when he was little, and she'd give him a kiss goodnight on the forehead, but this was something far different then that...
He went ahead and just gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead, then going out the door, leaving Saria to cuddle up in her sheets and sigh somewhat sadly in her sleep...
"Darn those two..." Link muttered to himself as he thought about the mystic twins and their prank, "The way they made Saria act with their hypnotism... what the heck would they even be doing with that power?"
He stopped in his tracks and put a hand to his head, as he remembered the way Saria held him and spoke to him before she passed out, and the look in her eyes was something he had seen far too often since coming to Gerudo Town; a look of desire... and lust. He felt his head get warm the more he thought about it.
"It... was the hypnotism Kesuta and Korume did on her..." Link muttered looking down, "Just the hypnotism..."
He let out a long sigh.
"Ugh, I need an outlet for this."
"Oh Liiink!" called out a happy voice. Link's frown curled into a small smile as he looked to see Ruto standing before him, with a hand to her hip, "Is the poor dear okay now?"
"She should be after a good rest." Link nodded.
"Glad to hear, I was worried for her." Ruto sighed, but then her spirits perked up, "Well in that case, ready for the pool, and maybe a little something else afterwards?" she asked with a suggestive grin.
"Okay then." Link nodded, relieved at finding that outlet, as the two went off together.
After a fun night in the pool with the others, Link and Ruto stumbled into his bedroom as they were making out. Both of them were heavily heated; Ruto from seeing Link in his Zora Master Tunic, and Link from Ruto's affection and admittingly his lingering thoughts about Saria. The two fell backwards onto his pillow bed and they moved their hands around each other. Link still had the Zora cap that came with his zora tunic on, but as he was about to take it off, Ruto grabbed his hand to stop him.
"No..." she whispered lustfully, running a hand along it, "Leave it on."
With that, Ruto grabbed him by the cheeks and kissed him hard, as the two went at each other for quite a while that night...
Some time later, Link laid back on his bed as Ruto slept beside him. He was staring up the ceiling with something on his mind, namely that he was concerned that as he was making passionate love to Ruto like usual, his mind had been wandering to other things... namely that at times as he was making passionate love to Ruto, he found himself sometimes thinking about a certain Kokiri girl being there instead...
'What the hell is wrong with me?' Link thought to himself, putting a hand to his head, 'I was hoping Ruto would help me get my mind off of what happened earlier, but I just keep thinking about it...'
He then looked to see a green bottle on a shelf in his room. It was the chu jelly drink Sarami had given him for his birthday. He figured in that moment a good hard drink would help him clear his thoughts. He poured himself a cup and drank it down, letting out a relieved sigh as he savored the taste.
"Damn, not bad Dr. Sarami." Link said, "If she wasn't a doctor she could have made a good bartender instead."
Feeling much better, he decided to try going back to bed again. He laid beside Ruto who let out a blissful sigh and snuggled close to him, and Link soon drifted off to sleep himself.
Morning came, and the sun came down on Ruto's eyes, causing the fish girl to slowly awaken. She blinked a few times, before stretching out and yawning.
'Oh, Link was amazing last night!' Ruto thought to herself, putting a hand to her cheek, she paused for a bit as she thought about something that had been bothering her for a while now. She glanced down at her body, running a finger along her chest down to her stomach, and she let out a sigh, 'Though I wonder if he'll be okay with me when he finds out that I need to-'
It was then she glanced down at Link's sleeping form, only to see something odd, something very odd.
"Wha-what? LINK?!" Ruto exclaimed. She quickly started shaking him frantically, "Link, wake up! Wake up!'"
"Ugh... what is it Ruto..." Link muttered, "Did the twins hypnotize someone again or... Wait, why does my voice sound weird?" he realized after speaking for a short while.
Link looked up to Ruto and saw how much bigger she was then him in that moment.
"...and when did you grow two feet taller?" he continued.
"Link, look at yourself!"
Link curiously looked down, and his whole face turned a pale white.
"AAAHHH!"
It within a few minutes Nabooru, Aviel, Nemisa and a somewhat groggy Saria all burst into the bedroom with their weapons.
"We just heard a yell Link, what's going o-" Nabooru's question was cut off when she saw what had happened, and her jaw practically fell to the ground.
Sitting beside a shocked Ruto was someone who resembled Link in many ways, but much shorter and younger looking. He in fact looked more like a ten-year old boy then anything. He was covering his loins with a pillow, and had an equally shocked look on his face.
"What's going on here, who's that male child?! And why does he look li-" Nemisa froze up, "Oh by the name of the Desert Goddess Aifet..."
"LINK?!" exclaimed Saria and Nabooru, both recognizing him from back when he was a child.
"Uh... hey guys..." Link spoke with a young voice and a small wave.
Aviel meanwhile just stood there, her eyes rolled backwards, and she fainted.
And that ends the chapter! Now Link is in a whole new amount of trouble, the question is, how will he change back, or more importantly,, what new situation will he get into next? Stay tuned next week!
