Link Gaiden

The alarm clock rang.

It was an annoying perpetrating sound that every teenager hated waking up to at six o'clock in the morning. Link Gaiden was no different from an ordinary teenager, as he sat slouched on his black couch, watching music videos on TV. He groaned irritated, rubbing his fingers through his messy blonde hair.

He looked over his shoulder, and briefly glanced at the alarm clock sitting on his nightstand. 8:30 flashed in red lights as the clock continued to buzz, waiting until someone shuts it off. Link took a deep breath and reached down in front of him grabbing his pillow and violently tossing it back to his nightstand.

" Shut up! I'm awake already!"

He aimed for the alarm clock, but missed. He had hit everything else in its path, causing an empty cup, his cell phone, and a couple of wrinkle dollar bills to fall to the floor. The blonde teen immediately jumped over his couch and walked over to the mess.

Link's bare feet walked across the blue carpet as he stood next to his nightstand, turning off the alarm. He bent down and picked up his cell phone, heading back to his couch. Once he returned to his comfortable position, he flipped open his cell and quickly dialed a number, bringing the phone to his ear.

There were a couple of rings, before the phone was heard being picked up. After a few moments of silence, a groggily voice appeared.
" Hello?"

" Hey Lane, what's up?" Link questioned excitedly.

Link picked up the remote and began flipping through channels as he raised an eyebrow, perplexed by the mumbling he heard on the other line.

" What?"

" Uh, sorry."

Link smirked and shook his head. " Were you sleeping?"

" Yeah."

Link stopped at the news, and briefly glanced down at today's date. His eyes widened in surprise as he looked over at the calendar hanging up on the wall.

" Hey Lane !"

" Yes?"

Link returned to the TV. " Happy Birthday."

" Thanks Link." Came the reply, after a few moments of silence.

" No problem. I wanted to give you a call and be the first to wish you a happy birthday."

Lane chuckled. " You must feel lucky."

" No doubt about it." Link replied. He ignored the sudden knock that came to his door. " So, what are we going to do for your birthday?"

" I don't know..."

Link frowned as his blue eyes averted to the door steadily opening. " Well, school starts tomorrow."

" Don't remind me."

Link laughed. " Okay, I won't."

" Hey, Link...I'll call you if I'm going to do anything. Right now, I just want to relax." Lane explained.

" Alright. Don't forget to call." Link replied. " Talk to you later."

" Bye." Lane finished.

Link lowered his phone and closed it, turning his attention to his younger brother who walked over to him. Young Link, who was a dressed in a long blue T-shirt and black shorts that fell to his knees, immediately sat down on the couch next to his older brother. Link sat his phone down on the floor, and lifted his foot, kicking his brother to the ground.
