    A Zelda Fanfic.
    Chapter 1. What happened?!
    I slowly opened my eyes to see darkness. My alarm clock was buzzing Zelda songs into my ears. I sighed and sat up. I sat there for a moment before looking at my clock. Only 6:00. I had plenty of time to get ready for school. I slid the covers off of me and placed my feet on the cold wood floor. I stood up and walked slowly over to my dresser to pick out my outfit.
    Of course it had to be something black, so I picked up my black shirt with neon colored peace signs on it and my black miniskirt with fishnet leggings under that. I slipped on my fishnet gloves and looked around for my brush. I don’t really have a clean room but eventually I found my brush and brushed my blood red hair. It came down to my lower back.
    I am 5’3. I have long blood red natural hair. I have deep blue eyes. And my face is clear of all blemishes and freckles. I am 14 and I have a pretty good life. I have many friends but I also have many enemies. I am a big gamer; my favorite games are The Legend of Zelda, Xenosaga, and Super Smash Brothers Brawl and Melee. I also like being on the computer, twenty-four seven. I love drawing and writing. I currently have at least seven stories I’ve started but haven’t finished. My name? Megan Espy.


    As I straightened my hair I thought of an ending for my Xenosaga story. When it was completely straightened I started on my makeup. Black eyeliner, black eyeshadow, and mascara. As I finished my makeup I grabbed my bag and my journal and walked out of the room closing the door on the way out.
    I set my bag down on the couch and walked into the kitchen to grab something to eat. A strawberry and cream cheese Danish pop tart. Yummy! I know that’s very fattening food but I can’t gain weight no matter what I do, I weigh only 100lb. That’s not healthy! Anyway after I finished my Danish pop tart I checked the stove for the time. 6:30. I walked into the living room and popped open the GameCube. The right game was in there.
    I closed the GameCube then turned on the T.V. and turned on the GameCube then flipped to input one on the T.V. and on came the opening screen on the Legend of Zelda and The Ocarina of Time. I pulled my computer chair over in front of the T.V. and grabbed the controller. I pressed start and my file came up. I pressed A on my file and the screen went dark.
    I pressed start and the menu came up and I pressed save and quit. I ran to my bag and journal and picked them up then ran outside as the bus stopped in front of my house. I stepped onto the bus and walked to the back. Today Chris sat in a seat alone. SCORE!!! Chris is a boy that I have a crush on. He is really amazing! I sat down next to him and set my bag under the seat.




    “Hey Chris, whats up?” “Hey, nothing really just tired…” He said smiling at me then turning back to the window. Chris was just a grade older than me. But he was still amazing! The bus past Dylan’s house and went straight to Trevor’s. It stopped to let him on he sat in the seat next to mine and Chris’s. “Hey Trevor.” I greeted him. He smiled back. “Guess, what?” I told him. “What?” He asked. “I now have enough for Winter Rose!” I told him happily. “Congrats.” He said smiling to me.
    I took out my purple chromatic iPod and popped the earphones into my ears. Trevor was already listening to his iPod Touch. Chris turned to look at my iPod. His eyes widened. “Nice iPod.” He said then turned away. “Thanks, want to listen?” I asked him handing him an earphone. “Sure.” He said taking it. I blushed at our hands touching.
    Once we got to the school he took out his earphone and handed it to me. I wrapped my earphones around my iPod and put it back into my bag. Once the bus stopped I got up with my bag and left the bus quickly. I couldn’t wait to show Laura my Chromatic! I quickly ran to the lunch room and stopped when I saw her on the steps to the lunchroom. I smiled at her. She smiled back. “Konbanwa Itachi-Chan!” I greeted her in Japanese. “Konbanwa Deidara-Chan!” She greeted back. We call each that because that’s who we role play as.
    Finally Trevor made it to the stairs and we all walked in. We sat at our usual spot and I whipped out my Chromatic. “Check it!” I told Laura. Her eyes widened. “You whore!” She yelled at me grabbing it out of my hand. I giggled.


    Shortly after we got in Henry made his way to us. “Hey Megan!” He greeted me. “Hey Henry!” “Do you have anything else in that journal of yours?” He asked me. “Actually yes!” I laughed. Then I started to freak out. My journal wasn’t with me. I searched my bag everywhere. “Ohmigod! It’s gone!” I said panicky. Then someone tapped me on the shoulder. I quickly turned around and saw Chris holding my little black journal.
    My eyes widened. “Chris! Where did you?” “It was on the bus.” He said smiling. I got up and hugged him. “Thank you so much! You don’t know how much of a lifesaver you are!” I told him happily. He just smirked and handed me my book. “Your welcome.” He said before turning and heading out. I almost called out to him to tell him to wait so I could run up to him and kiss him, but I thought he wouldn’t like that so I just let him go.
    I turned back to my friends and sat down. “Okay here it is.” I said giving Henry my book. He took it and opened it. He flipped past a couple pages and started reading. “Nice!” He said shortly laughing hysterically. I smiled. “Yes very nice! Thank you!” I replied to him. Soon Hayden walked in. His hair was shorter. “Get a haircut?” I asked him. He rolled his eyes. “Do you know how stupid my hairstylist is?!” He started to complain.
    I didn’t listen to him anymore and turned to Laura. “So are you coming over today?” I asked her. “Yep!” She replied happily. I smiled. “Good! I’m glad your mom likes me now!” Laura’s mom stopped liking me last year because of some problems me and Laura had. But that all changed when me, my mom, Laura’s mom, and Laura all sat down and talked.


    Finally the bell rang for us to get to class and me and
    Henry both picked up our bags. He currently was still reading in my journal and we walked to Career Orientation class. We sat in the front on the first table on the left and faced the back of the room. Trevor was also in our class but he likes to be a little later then us. He sat a table away from the very last table. With all the preps. I kinda felt bad for him but whatever. Once Mrs. Jones walked in she had us all get out our folders and finish the time capsule thing we started a couple days before.
    Well this is boring! I thought to myself while writing what I think I’ll be like when I’m forty. Well I finally got done before everyone else, again! But that’s only because the preps never shut up and Henry is dyslexic. I took out my sketch pad and began to draw my Legend of Zelda character, Maylene.
    She has long straight blonde hair that covered one forest green eye. She was an elf who had been with Link through everything. She even helped him get his fairy. She wore a black collar around her neck and a purple short dress. She was also Saria’s sister. Her main weapons are a bow and her voice. Her voice could make someone unconscious. She also could make her arrows on fire or freezing cold. Saria was going to give her the ocarina but instead gave Link the ocarina. Maylene had hated Link for it but had always had an even bigger crush so she could never stay mad at him.
    I smiled at my drawing. I finished drawing her six inch stilettos and the bell rang. I put my sketchbook away and picked up my bag then headed to band.
    As I entered the band room I saw Tristan for once getting out his trombone before the bell rang.
    “Ah for once you’re going to listen to Mr. Hoggard?” I teased him. He rolled his eyes. I sat down in my FIRST CHAIR SEAT!!! Then took my flute case out of my bag. My flute had gold rims and a golden mouth piece. I also had a ruby gem in the crevice at the very end of the head joint. My flute cost $5,000. But I got it for $300 off eBay. I smiled thinking about how lucky I am to get a beautiful flute like this for only $300.
    I put it together and began to play my B Flat scale. Beautiful sound. Tristan gawked at my flute. “Whoa! Is that real gold?” “24 carrots!” I bragged smiling. Mr. Hoggard walked out of his office once everyone was inside the band room. “Oh you did get the flute. Does it sound good?”
    I played a part of a song for him. “Very good sound! Sounds like you picked a real winner!” Mr. Hoggard said smiling. I smiled back flashing my braces. Oh yeah did I mention I have braces? No? Oh, well I have braces. Anyway as he read the announcements I sighed. This is so boring! I don’t need to know the stupid announcements, ooh! Homecoming dance!? AWESOME!!! I thought in my head then tuned into what he was saying about the dance.
    “Next Friday at 8:00-11:00. Admission is $3.00. If you’re going to bring a date from another school then sign them up in the office on the date list.” I wrote all that down in my head. Suddenly a boy burst through the doors. “Sorry I’m late!” A boy with short brownish blonde hair, tan skin and wearing a blue collared shirt with pants exclaimed. Wow! He’s cute! I thought in my head. He looked at me and he smiled.


    “Alright, who are you?” Mr. Hoggard asked him. “Anthony Robinson.” He told him. “Alright for now just take a seat next to Megan.” My eyes widened. “Who’s that?” Anthony asked him. I put my hand up. “Over here…” I said trailing off, having a distant look on my face. He looked at me a little weird but pulled a chair up next to me. “H-hi…” I greeted him blushing. He smiled. “Hi, whats up?” He greeted me. “Oh, nothing…” He looked at my flute. “Dang! That thing must have been expensive!” I smiled leaving my state then shook my head. “Nope just $300.00.” His jaw dropped. I giggled.
    Finally band ended and I put my flute away and picked up my bag then left the room. I heard footsteps in the hallway. They were running. I smiled when Anthony came up behind me. “Hey, again.” I greeted him. “Hey, what class do you have next?” “Oh, I have gym.” I said looking ahead. The band room was just a hallway away from the gym. “Oh, I have,” He started taking out his schedule. “Math.” “Oh, okay… So I guess I’ll see you at Lunch then?” I asked him when we got to the gym. “Sure!” He said smiling. I smiled at him back. We both blushed.
    I walked over to the put away bleachers and waited for Laura, Trevor, Hayden, Henry, Jesse, and Jake. Dylan Crain walked in and set his bag next to mine. “Poop!” He yelled as loud as he could randomly. It made me jump. “And the point of that was?” I asked him. “Oh, no reason.” He said plainly. I hated Dylan, he was annoying and loud. Finally Laura walked in. “Hey Mommy!” I said getting up to hug her. She smiled and hugged back. She set her bag down and sat down on the bleachers next to me.

    Shortly after Trevor walked through the gym doors. “The Game!” He said as soon as he was in earshot. I rolled my eyes. “You know I don’t play that game anymore!” I told him. The Game is something that Trevor and Holland and other people made up. It’s where you can’t think about the game or your losing. And if you don’t think about the game you’re winning. But you can’t win because if you think your winning then you’re thinking about the game so therefore your losing.
    Trevor has to remind us about the game every class period. It’s rather annoying. Anyway this class period was just like every day’s gym period. Hayden and Trevor got into a petty fight, then Henry got involved and Hayden and Trevor both make fun of him for being a Pantheist, Then me and Laura ignore them all and role play, while listening to my iPod. It’s kinda fun to watch them fight though because they get violent most of the time!
    Well that class ended and we all got up to go Lunch. Me and Laura went to the lunchroom the way that goes through the high school building. And Henry and Hayden went outside around the high school building. Anyway, we all got there and sat in the place we go to sit at when it’s in the morning. We sort of claimed that place.
    I had no idea what we were eating for lunch since I didn’t listen to the announcements that Mr. Hoggard read to us. So me and Laura just went into some random line. I looked ahead and Anthony was right in front of us. “Hey Anthony!” I called to him. He turned around and looked at me. “Oh hey Megan!” He said to me heading back to stand by me.


    “Who’s this?” Laura asked me going into mommy mode. “This is Anthony he’s new; I met him in band class. She smiled at him. “Hi I’m Laura, nice to meet you.” “Nice to meet you too.” He said smiling back at her. When we got up to the front of the line it was those chicken crispetos. It’s like a burrito but smaller and without beans. They’re really good. I got my tray and punched in my number then headed to the salad bar.
    I got myself a salad and some carrot sticks. Then went over and got myself a cup and some pink lemonade from the cooler next to the sweet tea cooler. I walked over to our table and sat down. Here’s how our table is set. Jesse sits on my left, Henry sits on my right next to Anna, who sits next to Tiffany who sits next to K-Dog (Kayla). On the other side of the table, Cody sits across from me and he sits next to Laura, who sits next to Hayden, who sits next to some of K-Dogs friends. And that’s our table.
    It was when I sat down then I noticed that Anthony was following me. He tried to sit next to me but neither Henry nor Jesse would let him, even though I begged them. So he sat across from me next to Laura, which made Cody mad when he tried to sit down. So instead of Cody sitting across from me he sat at the table behind my row which is where I used to sit.
    It was a pretty good lunch period. Nothing special, except for Anthony, anyone could tell I was smitten with this boy. He was pretty cool, he plays basketball, he came from Paragould, and he plays the euphonium (which is a smaller version of a tuba).
    Finally lunch ended and we had to get to class. Next I had advanced science with Henry, Hayden, Trevor, Holland, Kayla, Anna, Jake, and a bunch of stupid people that don’t need to be in that class.
    Once we all got there we sat in our usual seat, Hayden in the front of the room, Me and Henry in the very back, Trevor on the side, Holland in the middle, Anna next to Trevor, Kayla on the way other side, and Jake in the seat in a row over. The rest were filled with stupid people. Anyway. I took out my sketchbook and began to draw Maylene again. She was so pretty, I want to be her so bad!
    As I was drawing the teacher closed the door and as he did someone opened it. I looked up to see Anthony. My eyes widened in shock. He saw me and smiled. But the teacher put him in the seat at the very front of the row Jake was on. I frowned but he kept looking back at me, and every time our eyes met I’d bite my lower lip and smile at him, he’d blush and smile.
    Well I wasn’t able to pay attention in that class because of Anthony but that was okay. Because now I have new eye candy! When the second bell rang everyone got up. I put my sketchbook away and picked up my bag then got up to see Anthony in front of me. “What class do you have next?” He asked me suddenly. “I have History with Mrs. Glenn, why?” “I have it too!” He told me happily. I smiled. “Wanna walk together?” I asked him. He nodded like he was waiting for me to ask that.
    Well Mrs. Glenn’s room was right down the hall so it wasn’t that much of a walk, but still. Anyway when we got in the room Laura was waiting for me. We sit in the back. So Anthony followed me. We sat together. Both Laura and Anthony where passing me notes. It was kinda stressful.




    Finally the class ended and we had to stop passing notes. I sighed in relief. I walked to my math class after saying bye to both Anthony and Laura. I walked into the classroom and sat in my usual spot. I didn’t really have anyone to talk to in that class. It wasn’t that fun. Well finally class started and Coach Taylor gave us a lecture over what we were going over. Then she gave us an assignment.
    I finished before everyone else again, but I waited before I turned it in. I always do, I don’t want to seem like a nerd so I wait for everyone else to turn their stuff in first. Finally at least 4-5 people turned their papers in so I turned mine in, put away my calculator, and sat down and drew. This time I drew some random person. It turned out looking like Laura. The Hinata style hair, with a hoodie, and baggy pants. Oh yeah that’s Laura. I thought to myself about my drawing. It was good too. Naturally I’m a good artist. I get it from my dad.
    Finally last period! My favorite class! And I found Anthony in my class! We sat together in the back and I passed notes with him and Laura again! This time he asked me something intriguing. Are you going to the Homecoming dance? I might, if I don’t get grounded lawl! Well don’t get grounded… … Why? … Because I would like, if we go together… I didn’t reply back. I just bit my lip and smiled. I quietly scooted my desk closer and grabbed his warm hand or my hands where really cold, and held it. He looked at me. I smiled and nodded. He smiled back and squeezed my hand.



    The bell rang and we had to let go. I got up and picked up my bag and hugged Anthony then ran to catch up with Laura. “Hey Laura!” I yelled at her. She turned around and stopped. “Did you forget your riding the bus with me?” Her eyes widened. “Yes!” She said suddenly. So we walked together over to my bus and got on. Chris was already on. For once he wasn’t in the back seat… Ohmigod! He must have wanted to sit with me! Me and Laura sat in the very back seat. He looked at me and looked down then moved over to the other back seat.
    I looked down. Laura looked at me then at him. “I thought you liked Anthony.” She whispered to me. “Yeah I do, but I’ve liked Chris longer.” I explained to her sighing. “Oh well, I should be happy with what I got.” I said to her smiling. “That’s my girl! Now where’s that iPod of yours?” She asked me smiling. “Hold on let me get it.” I said bending down and digging through my bag. I sat on the outside and when I bent over my thong came out. I looked at Chris and he was looking at me blushing.
    I tilted my head then I felt a sharp pain on my butt. Laura had pulled my thong. “OW!” I yelled snapping up. I glared at her. She laughed. I stood up and pulled my pants up then sat back down kept on looking for my iPod. I finally pulled it out and handed her an earphone. She gladly took it and we role played the whole bus ride while listening to my music.

    At home:




    When we finally got to my stop, I put my iPod away and picked up my bag then Laura and I got off the bus. We had to walk little Riley home though. As we got into the house no one was home, good! I turned my Game Cube on and on came the Legend of Zelda and The Ocarina of Time. Yay! Anyway when the screen came on my file popped up and instead of clicking on that I clicked on a new file. The screen went white. Then suddenly the white light spread to the house. Suddenly I was pulled to the T.V. and I grabbed Laura and it pulled us both into the T.V.


    When I woke up I was in some sort of house, the walls, floor, and ceiling where made of wood. It looked like Link’s house. I sat up. There was someone beside me. It was a girl who had blue hair down to her neck and it curled upwards at the ends. She was an elf. I got up and walked to the mirror. I looked just like my character Maylene!
    I woke the girl up. “Laura?” I asked. She sat up. “What is it Meg-“ She began to scream. “Laura hush!” I told her. “It’s me Megan! Somehow we got trapped in the game, and we are now our characters!” I explained to her. It sounded crazy but it’s what happened. She calmed down. “This is insane!” “Maylene!” I heard a tiny voice call my, I mean, my characters name. “Who was that?!” I asked. Then I saw Maylene’s fairy. “Go wake up Link! The Deku Tree wants to talk to him!” The fairy told me. “I think the only way we can get out of here is if we play the game!” I explained to Laura.


    “Come on get up we have to go wake Link!” “Look I know this is your kind of fantasy but we could get really hurt if we get hit!” I looked down. “I know, but I think the only way were gonna get out of here is if we play the game... and don’t worry I’ve played this game many times before so I know what happens!” Laura looked at me. “I guess your right…” She finally got up and we started our journey.



    Miko: Well, what do you think?
    Link: When do I come in!?
    Miko: you know I think I like you better when you don’t talk…
