Ghirahim's My Roommate? (Arc 1)

5. So, what's up?

Reina: I would love to add Ganondorf to the story, but then no one would survive. Oh well, I can always add him in later.

Chapter 5: So, what's up?

Vaati

"What do you want Ghirahim?" I asked with a bored tone as I entered the kitchen with Shadow Link close behind me. "And here are the files that Shadow Link recorded for you." I dumped the files in front of him and then went to go get a drink of water.

"Fabulous," he said as he browsed through them quickly. After reading them, he put them to the side and coughed dramatically. "Now, on to business. I'm afraid that Link would kick us out if he discovers why we are really here."

"He could also get sent into a state of shock," I pointed out. "That would be interesting development too."

"It has something to do with an event several years ago, right?" Shadow Link asked. "I'm just guessing."

I nodded.

Ghirahim began to talk again. "I'm not worried about Aryll kicking us out. She seems to understand my fabulousness."

"After what you did today, you probably gave her a shock that might take years of therapy," I pointed out. "You're lucky that Raven isn't here, because she will kick you out."

"What did he do to Aryll?" Shadow Link asked. I kept forgetting that he wasn't there when Aryll had shrieked earlier, as he was off doing whatever he was doing.

"He wore that-" I pointed to Ghirahim, "-and Aryll screamed."

"Ah. I was in the dining room when I thought I heard someone scream." He said.

"What were doing in the dining room?" I asked.

"Hiding from Link. You see, I hit him in the face with a pillow to wake him up, and I think I enraged him."

"We all seem to be giving Link gray hairs and making him angry," I pointed out.

"Even me?" Ghirahim asked.

"Especially you. I think he might be paranoid that you would mess with his hair or something like that," I muttered.

"I don't know why he would think that. I wouldn't do such a thing," Ghirahim stated. "I would ask him if he wanted to change his hairstyle to make it fabulous!"

"Like what?" I asked.

"Like he if he wanted to put sparkles or diamonds in his hair."

"Link is literally the last person on Earth that would want sparkles in his hair," I countered. "Other than Ganondorf, I mean."

"I'm leaving," Shadow said. "You people are weird." And he left through the doorway. "I'll look for Link and Aryll."

"Ghirahim, remember," I said after a while, "We made a promise to not drive Link nuts, and to protect him."

"Why would he get gray hairs at the age of 15? And are we doing something to Aryll, who's 12?" Ghirahim randomly asked.

"Link and Raven are 17, and Aryll's 14. Jeez, you can't even remember their age, even after promising-"

"I know, I messed up fabulously," Ghirahim rolled his eyes at me as he suddenly interrupted. "Besides, I'm only off by two years."

"Two years is the difference between being underage and being old enough to drink."

Ghirahim just shrugged. "No big deal."

"You have issues," I replied, before shaking my head. "We're getting off topic here. Remember, not a word to Link, Aryll, Raven, Shadow Link, or anyone else," I told Ghirahim.

Somebody rang the doorbell.

Before I could began to express concern about the possibility of soldiers appearing and discovering our location, I could hear Aryll yell, "I'll get it!" all the way from the living room. Jeez, she's full of energy.

After hearing her return, I heard Shadow Link yell, "Has Princess Zelda lost her mind?"

That can't be good.

I flew out of the kitchen and landed in the dining room. Ghirahim teleported in.

Link, Shadow Link, and Aryll were staring in horror at a piece of paper in Link's hand.

"Give me that," I said as I snatched it from Link's hand and I read it.

Dear Lord Link, Lady Raven, and Lady Aryll,

I hope that you are feeling well and that you managed to fix your house without much trouble. I was afraid that it would have driven you nuts fixing it.

You see, I'm going to visit you in two weeks on the 25th to check on you and see how your province is going. It's part of my duties as a princess. When I arrive, I have exciting news I'm going to announce to you.

Sincerely,

Princess Zelda

"I see that you are addressed as 'Lord' and 'Lady'," Ghirahim said. "Fabulous."

"That's odd. What did she mean by 'announcement'?" I muttered to myself.

"How are we going to have a party for Zelda with you guys?" Aryll asked.

"We'll hide ourselves and our possessions in the attic within the coming weeks," I told her.

Link looked very depressed as we were talking about this. "Is she going to bring the White Knight with her? If so, I might as well shut up and let Aryll do all the talking."

"Come on, bro," Aryll said. "He's not THAT bad."

"You haven't seen his real side," Link said sadly.

"Who's the White Knight?" Shadow Link asked.

"Zelda's new bodyguard. She's crazy about him," Link sighed.

"I thought you were her fabulous bodyguard," Ghirahim interjected.

"I was. Then he came along, and I was *that* close to moving to back to Ordon Village until Zelda found out that this was our house. When I found out, I left immediately with Aryll. Didn't even tell her that I left. Only a few of the guards and Raven know."

"Why did you leave?" Shadow Link asked.

Link merely stared at the ground and didn't answer.

Reina: Since this story is on fanfiction.net, should I republish it here or take a completely different route?
