Prologue: Link, the Hero of Time had an adventure that had to deal with sealing away a terrible being named Ganondorf, who had an urge to control the land. Luckily, the 7 sages, Hyrule’s protectors, with the help of Link and the Princess Zelda, were able to seal the evil man away… During that adventure, a girl by the name of Mimi, who was at the age of 3 at the time, was there, and saw everything. She didn’t seem like a normal girl… After Link finished his adventure, he was, with permission from the King, able to marry Zelda. The young girl Mimi was adopted into their family, and became the new princess… Mimi behaved just as she was supposed to… We now find her at this moment and find out how much how her life will change…

 

“Sit up straight, Mimi,” said Zelda.

“Yes Mother,” Mimi responded, who was now twelve years old.

“Now set up your utensils like so…”

A butler walked into the room with a platter of food. Zelda took her food and began to use her knife and fork to eat it, while Mimi on the other hand ate like a beast.

“Mimi!” shouted Zelda. “Unless you learn how to eat like a normal princess you shall not attend the banquet! That’s enough for today. Go to your room.”

“Yes ma’am,” said Mimi. She left the dining hall, and walked to her room.

“Bark! Bark!”

“Hey, Rose!” Rose Mimi’s dog jumped on her. To Mimi, it didn’t matter whether her dress got messed up or not. Zelda could just ask a maid to wash it…at least, that’s what Mimi hoped. She pushed Rose off of her, and got up. Going into her closet, Mimi selected her favorite outfit: A black tang-top, jeans, and a pair of black boots. She took her waist-long hair, and put it up into a waist-long braid. While she put on her boots, she heard a knock at the door.

“Enter!” said Mimi. It was her personal maid, Betty.

Betty was almost like Mimi’s nanny. Like Impa was Zelda’s nanny when she was young. Betty was always there when Mimi needed help. She had brown hair and it was pulled into pigtails on top of her shoulders, and wearing her maid outfit. She was also trained in the way of Ninjustsu, just in case any trouble befell the princess. She may look like an ordinary maid, but she was far from ordinary. 

“Ma’am, where are you going?” asked Betty.

“I’m going to see Romani!” said Mimi. Romani was Mimi’s best friend and lived at the ranch. Also the same age Mimi was, Romani had long red hair that went halfway down her back, blue eyes and was great with animals. Occasionally, Mimi would go visit her.

“You mean the ranch girl?” asked Betty.

“Yup! Take care of Rose while I’m gone OK?” Mimi put on a smile, and Betty couldn’t help but smile back as she picked up Rose.

“You have fun, ma’am!” said Betty.

“I will!” said Mimi. “And I told you, call me Mimi, not ma’am! Ma’am makes me feel old…”

“Yes, Mimi!” Betty responded. Mimi smiled, and ran outside where her father, Link was sparring.

“Bye, dad! I’m going to Romani’s!”

“Wait a sec!” he said. He reached behind him and handed Mimi a dagger. “Your name is known among our enemies,” he said. “Protect yourself.”

“Yes sir!” said Mimi. She equipped the dagger and with that, she ran through the market, and onto Hyrule Field. She ran as quickly as she could, up the hill, and into Lon Lon Ranch, Romani’s home. When she came in Mimi heard Ingo, the ranch assistant’s voice: “I’m always the one to do all the work around here! If it weren’t for me—” Romani cut him off: “You don’t do all the work! I at least milk the cows, feed the horses…”

“Why don’t you just shut up missy!!” said Ingo. Romani came back at it: “Why don’t you?! You’re complaining half the time anyways…”

“Is this a bad time?” Mimi just entered, after hearing enough.

“No not at all!” said Romani. “I’d respect it if you left.” She glared at Ingo, until he shifted with unease. After cursing under his breath, Ingo left. Mimi heard the words “thinks she’s all that” and “what a phony” and “I don’t complain half the time” before he walked into the stable.

“ So, what did you come for?” asked Romani.

“Just for fun,” answered Mimi. “And to probably help you with your chores.” She looked at the bucket of milk Romani was carrying and all the other things that she might need help with.

“Well then…Let’s get to it!” said Mimi. They started out cleaning the horse and cows’ spots, which had a terrible smell if you catch my drift. They milked the cows, and carried the bottles into the wagon. They then fed the horses. Mimi took two horses, and hooked them to a wagon.

“Finally, finished…” said Romani, as she sat down next to Mimi.

“Hey, Romani?” asked Mimi. “The castle is holding a huge party tomorrow. Everyone’s invited. Would you like to come?”

“What’s the party about?” asked Romani.

“It’s honor for the day Ganondorf was finally sealed…and for the age I have become.” said Mimi.

“Age?”

“Because I’m now twelve, I’m able to go on my own adventure! I asked my mom and she finally agreed.”

“What kind of adventure?”

“I’ll tell you when you come!” said Mimi.

“I’m not sure Mimi. I have chores and—”

“Great!” said Mimi. “I’ll send for a ride and you can come that time!”

“Alright I’ll… ask…” said Romani.

“Awesome! See you tomorrow!” With that, Mimi was off.

 

*         *         *

 

“Man, it’s this late already?” said Mimi. Out in the distance, she heard a coyote howl. Mimi drew her dagger and spun around. All she saw was the sun that sank beneath the horizon. Again she heard a sound. This time it sounded like the earth was letting something arise from it. Turning around she found she was horribly right. A walking skeleton, about Mimi’s height, began to walk towards her. Its eyes glowed a bright red, but Mimi wasn’t frightened like a normal girl would be.

She slashed once with her dagger, and the skeleton crumpled. More skeletons came and Mimi got rid of them too. This continued throughout the night, and Mimi was actually having the time of her life. Never before had she been involved in this action! After many hours, the sky turned a bright shade of pink, and the skeletons sank under the ground, afraid of the light.

“Yeah, you better run!” Mimi shouted. A cucco out in the distance cried out the signal for morning.

“No! It’s morning already?!” Mimi shouted. “I forgot, I told Romani I’d give her a ride to the castle!!” Mimi took off with amazing speed towards the marketplace.

“No!!!” she screamed when she saw how crowded the marketplace was. Then she remembered what she said: “The castle’s holding a huge party. Everyone’s invited.” How could she have forgotten? And with what she was wearing, no one would think she was the princess and make room for her. Mom’s going to kill me if I don’t get to the castle by 9:oo! That’s when she wakes up. NO! Dad wakes up at the crack of dawn! Hopefully he’ll understand! Mimi then began to squeeze herself through the crowd to the gate of the castle. There the guard stopped her.

“Halt! Who goes there?” he said.

“It’s ME you idiot! Take off that helmet and let me through!” said Mimi.

“OH! Sorry your majesty!” said the guard, letting her through. Mimi gave a sigh of relief, but when she put one foot in the castle…

“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN??” demanded Zelda.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!!” said Mimi.

 

 *              *            *

Mimi sat on her bed, and stroked the back of Rose’s head.

            “That lecture lasted forever!” she complained. “Even dad was upset, and he’s always out late!” Mimi flopped onto the bed.

“Would you have gotten mad, Rose?” she asked the pup. Rose gave her a confused look. At that moment, Betty walked in.

            “Your Mother would like you to wear this dress to the banquet,” said Betty.

            “You mean she said I can go?” Mimi asked.

Betty smiled and said, “After your father reasoned with her, she said she’ll let it go this time.” Mimi smiled back. Betty placed the dress neatly on the bed, and left. Mimi picked up the dress.

It was light blue, and looked like it would only go up to her shoulders. It had lace on the bottom, and the dress was long enough to go down to her ankles. Mimi changed into the dress, and called Betty back in. Betty took out Mimi’s braid, brushed it till it shined, and put a tiara neatly on her head.

            “You look wonderful,” Betty said. “There may be some boys out there that might swoon over you!”

            “B-be quiet!” said Mimi, blushing. Betty giggled and brushed Rose too.

            “Heel,” said Mimi. Rose walked to her side. Betty then escorted them to the banquet hall, and once the guard saw them he made a motion with his hands to the other guards. They picked up their trumpets and signaled Mimi’s arrival.

Zelda, using her telepathic powers said to Mimi, Smile! Mimi blushed and smiled as she walked to her chair between Zelda and Link. Rose sat in front of Mimi. Mimi sat and slightly grimaced remembering the position she had to put her legs in while sitting down. She winced at how uncomfortable it was but managed. Suddenly she remembered the promise she made to Romani. She looked around and saw her friend’s red hair that stuck out among everyone else. Romani saw her looking and waved. Mimi waved back and saw that she was wearing a wonderful dress that suited her.

It was pink all over, except for a long red apron that hung on the bottom of her dress. It had long sleeves and Romani apparently didn’t pick out a different pair of boots. Mimi sat up straighter and listened as Zelda gave a speech:

“My friends!” she said. “We all remember or have heard about the tragedy that had befallen Hyrule so many years ago… Thanks to the Goddesses and their mercy, the sages, Link and I were able to seal the Evil King Ganondorf away! We have this banquet in honor of that time… We also have this banquet to say that our daughter, Mimi, will be going on her first adventure!”

The crowd cheered, and Romani saw that Mimi was stiff, and blushing as hard as ever. Link continued the speech.

“Now, let us eat, and treasure our last moments with the princess, for she leaves tomorrow morning!”

As soon as he finished, butlers and maids walked into the room. One stepped forward, and placed his tray on the table on the first. He removed the cover to reveal freshly caught fish. The crowd cheered as the food was brought forward. Mimi got up from her seat and ran towards Romani, her long black hair swinging behind her. Rose followed. Romani smiled. Mimi gaped at her dress.

“I never knew you would wear such a dress!” she said.

“Never thought you would either!” said Romani, pointing to Mimi’s dress. Romani’s father, Talon walked forward and shook Mimi’s hand.

“You two go and have fun. I can wait,” he said. While Mimi shook his hand she glimpsed his arm and thought: Wow! His arms are as big as a gorilla’s! I wonder if he ever shaved… Rose noticed how Mimi stared at Romani’s dad’s arms and gave Romani a small bark. Romani said “Um…Mimi?” Mimi noticed what she was doing and turned pink.

“Let’s go get something to eat!” she suggested.

“Alright,” said Romani. “Once we finish, I want you to tell me what you want your adventure to be!”

“Deal!” said Mimi. They walked to the table, took some food, and ate. (Mimi still didn’t master how to eat properly) She gave some of the food to Rose, who ate happily. Rose then walked to Link and Zelda, and jumped up onto Zelda’s lap. Mimi and Romani walked outside, into the garden.

“So?” said Romani.

“So what?” asked Mimi.

“What’s your adventure going to be?” she asked. Mimi pondered the question, and then snapped her fingers.

“I know!” she said. “All of the lands that my dad journeyed to…I want to see what they’re like.”

“But…when you were young weren’t you on the adventure when your father sealed Ganondorf away?” asked Romani.

“Yes…” said Mimi. “But I was young and don’t exactly remember it that well. Besides there are some lands he told me stories about. Some that I’ve never seen before. I’d like to see what they look like, even if dad described it to me.”

“Would you mind telling me what the names are?” asked Romani.

“Sure! Let’s see… Ah yes there was Lybranna, Holodrum, Termina…” Mimi gave Romani a list of names, and when she finished, Romani was dumbfounded.

“Wow… Your dad traveled to all of those places?” she asked.

“Yup!” said Mimi. “And I want to see them all!” Romani thought to herself: If this girl wants to see all of those lands, then she’s stranger than I thought!

“You’ll come with me won’t you Romani?” Mimi asked. Romani stared at her. What should she say?

“I’m not sure…” she said. “My dad… He isn’t exactly capable of tending to the farm…with that Ingo especially…” Mimi pouted and Romani began to think.

“Alright. I’ll…go with you on your adventure,” she said.

“Yeah!” said Mimi. “We’ll have tons of fun! C’mon! Let’s go ask your dad!!”

 

   *             *            *

            “I don’t exactly see why not!” Talon said when they asked. Mimi and Romani cheered. “As long as”— he looked at Romani—“you take your bow and arrows. Never know what you’ll find in those parts…”

            “Thank you Daddy!” said Romani. Mimi ran to her parents and told them what just happened. They nodded, and Zelda told a guard to ask for everyone’s attention.

            “May the rulers of Hyrule of thy attention please!” said the guard. The crowd immediately quieted, and Zelda’s voice rang through the room.

            “My daughter,” she started, “has found a partner to go with her on her adventure…” She motioned for Romani. Romani cautiously approached Zelda. She stood next to Mimi, and Zelda continued: “Mimi’s best friend, Romani, has volunteered to go with her on her first adventure.” The crowd cheered. Zelda stood and placed one hand on each of their heads and whispered to them, “May the gods watch over you and be safe. Do not trust anyone who looks very suspicious.” Romani and Mimi both turned and bowed.

            “Yes your Majesty,” they said.

            “Prove good name to the land of Hyrule while you’re gone,” Zelda said. “Did I miss anything?” she asked Link. Link stood and said to Mimi: “There are many monsters waiting for any of the Royal family, Mimi. Any who come with you are putting themselves in danger…” At this he looked at Romani who blushed. Mimi smirked.

            “Are you sure you want to go through with this?” he asked her. Regaining confidence Romani finally answered.

            “Yes King. I am willing to help my friend while we venture through the many lands we encounter.”

            “That was a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question,” Link said.

            “Oh!” said Romani. “Then yes! I-I’ll go!” Mimi looked at Romani’s face.

            “You’re blushing,” she said. Romani covered her face.

 

     *             *            *   

 

Mimi sat on the branch and stared at the entrance to the marketplace. Where could she be?

Instead of wearing a dress, she wore her black tang top, jeans, and her favorite black boots. Her hair once again was in a long braid.  She also had her dagger with her. Mimi had entrusted Rose to Betty, hoping that she would keep her from harm. Soon people started coming out of their homes and stared at Mimi in the tree. Mimi stood up in the tree as she saw Romani running towards the market.

“Finally!” said Mimi. She jumped off the tree and waved to Romani. She waved back. As she came closer, Mimi could see that Romani had her bow slung across her back. She had on a dark blue T-shirt with a red sweater, which went down and was tied at her waist. She wore light blue capris, and her same brown boots.               

Link and Zelda then walked towards the two girls were standing there, waiting. Mimi couldn’t handle it anymore. Tears sprang to her eyes and she hugged her parents. Although they weren’t her real parents, Mimi knew she would miss them much.

            “I hope that your adventure is a safe one,” said Zelda.

            “We do too,” said Romani.

            “Remember to protect yourselves and any who get involved in case of danger,” said Link.

            “We will dad. Promise,” said Mimi.

            “Let’s go,” said Romani. They began to walk out of the marketplace. The villagers waved, and said good-bye as the girls left.

*              *            *

            “Romani, let’s go to your place and take some horses. It would be a whole lot easier, and save us some time,” said Mimi.

            “That’s a great idea,” said Romani. They changed their course, and headed to the ranch. When they arrived…

            “ABSOLUTLY NOT!!!” shouted Ingo. “I will not, I repeat will not, allow two young ladies such as yourselves go on such an absurd adventure!!”

            “Since when did you care?” asked Romani.

            “You have a point there,” said Ingo. He shrugged. “Well if you die, it ain’t my fault! Take whatever horses you want!” Romani selected the horses: one had beautiful light-brown hair and dark brown mane. The other had red hair as dark and bright as Romani’s hair. This horse had a white mane.

            “This one”— Romani pointed to the red horse—“is Epona. This one”— she pointed to the brown horse—“is a girl also and hasn’t been named yet. What would you wish to call her?” After a moment, Mimi answered.

            “Ashley,” she said. “That’s the only name I can think of.”

            “Alright!” said Romani. She mounted her horse, and Mimi mounted Ashley.

            “We’re off!” cried Mimi. They left at a high speed on the stallions, and started their adventure.

 

Two years later the girls are now 14 and are headed to their last stop: Termina. We now find them at this moment, in the field of Termina…

 

            “Exactly how did your dad save this place, Mimi?” asked Romani.

            Mimi replied, “Many, many years ago, the moon was… well let’s just say that it had a makeover. A hideous makeover. Anyway, the moon was going to crash into Termina, but because my dad was there, he somehow called on the Giants; the 4 protectors of Termina, and stopped the moon from falling. If I told you the full story, we’d be here a while.”

            “Spare me,” said Romani. Mimi laughed, and stared at the entrance to the town of Clock Town, the busiest place in Termina.

            “Wow…” said Romani.

            “Cool,” said Mimi. They rode their horses forward, and stopped at the gate.

            “Ready?” Mimi asked.

            “As I’ll ever be,” said Romani. They urged their horses forward, and entered the town.

 

 

  *             *            *

            “It’s as busy as the marketplace!” exclaimed Mimi. They dismounted their horses, and walked them through the crowd. They emerged to find themselves in the east side of Clock Town: East Clock Town. (How obvious…)

            “Look over there!” said Romani. She pointed towards an Inn. Mimi took a look at the sign, which read: Stock Pot Inn.

            “Why don’t we check it out?” asked Mimi. They tied their horses to a nearby pole, opened the door, and walked inside.

The Inn wasn’t exactly big, but wasn’t small either. To the right a long bench was against the wall. Most likely for waiting. Next to it was a plant. Ahead, there was a hallway that veered left. In the northeast corner of the room, was a desk that also had a book on it. Reading this book was a young woman, of about 19 or maybe 20.                  

She had short red hair that went to the bottom of her ears, and then curled. She had on a red shirt with short sleeves, and a long skirt to her ankles. She had on brown leather shoes.

Mimi walked up to her and asked for a reservation in any of the rooms.

“Why yes,” answered the woman. “Your room will be our Knife Chamber (not as bad as it sounds) on the second floor. Here is your key.” She handed Mimi a key, and wrote the reservation in the book.

“Thank you,” said Mimi.

“You’re welcome,” said the woman. “Tell me, why are girls as young as yourselves here?”

“We’re actually travelers,” said Romani. “Journeying all the lands.”

“What are your names?” asked the woman.

“I’m Mimi,” said Mimi. “And this is my best friend, Romani.” Romani waved.

“I’m Anju,” said Anju. “So your travelers huh? Guess you won’t stay long…”

“Actually we might stay a while,” said Romani.

“It isn’t like we have anywhere else to go!” said Mimi.

“In that case, I hope you enjoy your stay!” said Anju.

“We will!” Mimi and Romani said. They waved good-bye, and exited. Once they were outside they saw two other girls, about Mimi and Romani’s age complimenting the horses.

The girl on the left had short, curly blonde hair. She wore a small green dress with a ribbon tied in the back. Her socks were knee-high, and she had on black shoes.

The other girl had shining black hair pulled into pigtails. She had on a blue T-shirt that had a heart in the center, with a mini skirt. Her socks went all the way a bit above her knees. She too had on black shoes.

“Who are you?” asked Mimi not unkindly.

“Oh are these your horses?” asked the girl with pigtails.

“Yes…” said Romani.

“They’re beautiful,” said the other. “My name’s Gabriella by the way! And this is my friend, Kimmie!”

“Hello!” said Kimmie.

“I’m Romani,” said Romani. “And this is my friend, Mimi.”

“Mimi?” asked Kimmie. “As in the Princess Mimi?”

“You’ve heard of me?” asked Mimi.

“Yeah!” said Gabriella. “You’re the new princess! And you’re on your first adventure! Everyone’s heard about you!”

“It’s such an honor to meet you,” said Kimmie. “Why don’t we show you around?”

“That’s very kind of you!” said Romani.

“They have great game shops, and there’s so much to do!” said Gabriella.

“The town is always busy!” said Kimmie. “C’mon! In here!” The four of them walked into a game shop called Treasure. Behind the desk was a girl. Probably eighteen. She had a pink T-shirt on with a blue heart in the center, and her short purple hair shined.

“Hello, and welcome to Treasure!” she exclaimed. “I’m Carol, and I’ll be telling you the rules! It’s simple: Get to the treasure chest in under forty-five seconds, and win! But there’s a slight twist to this game! So…who’s going first?”

“I will!” said Kimmie.

“Twenty rupees!” said Carol. “Take this,” said Carol. She handed Kimmie a headband with bunny ears. Kimmie turned pink with embarrassment.

“GO!!” shouted Carol. Kimmie ran forward with inhuman speed. Apparently the bunny hood gave her the instincts of a rabbit. Suddenly the square tile in front of Kimmie’s foot rose.

“Whoa!” said Kimmie as she jumped back. The square tiles all around Kimmie except her right were blocked. She took the tunnel and ran. Then she saw it: the treasure box. As she stepped forward, the block right beneath her rose! Her friends stared as Kimmie was sent up in the air as the tile rose up. Kimmie jumped off and screamed. She landed, rolled forward, and hit the treasure chest. With only two seconds to spare Kimmie opened the box and got fifty rupees!

“Yes!” she said. She walked back to the others and showed them what she got.

“I want to go next!” said Romani. She was given the bunny hood and off she went. Dodging every risen tile Romani reached the treasure box in exactly twenty-five seconds. She opened it to reveal fifty rupees.

“Awesome!” she said. She ran back to the others who complimented her on her good work. Next was Gabriella. She did just as good, and kept her balance when the tiles rose. In twenty-four seconds, she reached her goal. Like the others, she also got fifty rupees.

Now it was Mimi’s turn. She took the bunny hood, and charged into the room. Mimi slightly tripped but got back up changing her trip into a front flip. She landed on a tile, which rose into the air. Jumping, Mimi landed one square away from the treasure box. Using some of the acrobatic skills Mimi learned, Mimi made it through, lunged forward, pushed it open, and earned her fifty rupees, all in forty-four seconds.

When she got back, Carol congratulated her on her progress and acrobatic skills. As a bonus Mimi earned forty more rupees. Mimi split it up amongst her friends and they left.

Back in East Clock Town, Gabriella led them towards archery: Romani’s turf. She nocked an arrow, and hit all the targets. She earned two hundred rupees for her perfect score. The others tried…without much luck. But the man behind the counter gave them twenty rupees each, just for trying. The girls thanked him and together, they left.

“Wow, it’s already gotten this late!” said Kimmie.

“Time sure does fly!” said Gabriella.

“Are you two staying at the Inn?” asked Romani.

“As a matter of fact, yes!” Gabriella answered.

“Are you?” asked Kimmie.

“Yeah!” said Mimi. “Let’s go!”

 

 

     *             *            *

            “Oh, I’m sorry!” said Anju. “I accidentally booked you four for the same room!”

            “That’s alright!” said Kimmie.

            “Yeah, you can’t help it if you’re forgetful,” said Romani. They all heard a rumble. Mimi held her stomach.

            “So hungry,” she moaned. “Need dinner…”

            “You’re going to have to cook it yourselves,” said Anju. “I unfortunately can’t cook.”

            “No problem,” said Mimi. “I picked up some skills from the cooks back at home.”

            “I also know how to cook,” said Romani. “Mimi taught me.”

            “Kimmie and I learned from our parents,” said Gabriella. “So we can also make good meals!”

            “How about we put our skills together?” asked Kimmie. “We’ll make a great meal!” Anju led the four to the kitchen.

            “Help yourselves to anything you need!” she said. With that said, Anju went back to the desk. Mimi searched and searched the shelves, but there wasn’t anything there!

            “What?!? There’s nothing to use to cook!!” she shouted. “ ‘Help yourselves to anything you need’ she says…”

            “I’ll go to West Clock Town, and buy some food,” suggested Kimmie.

            “I’ll go with you!” said Gabriella.

            “Think you could buy some clothes too?” asked Romani. “Not new ones, just what we’re wearing right now in a bigger size.”

            “Sure thing!” said Gabriella. “Think we can use the money we all got? This seems like a lot to buy.”

            “It also sounds expensive,” said Kimmie. Romani ran upstairs, and came back with 540 rupees. (She found an extra hundred in the chest in their room)

            “Hopefully this is enough,” said Gabriella, pocketing the money. They left, and Mimi and Romani waited in the waiting room with Anju. A few hours later, Kimmie and Gabriella returned, with food and clothing.  They went into the kitchen and looked at the ingredients they had.

            “Perfect!” said Mimi. “You two really have a sight for good food.”

            “It’s a gift,” said Kimmie.

Romani cut up salad, while Mimi was over the stove cooking rice. Kimmie put some fish and fries in the oven and let it cook. Gabriella seasoned and finished the rice while Mimi took out the fish a while later. Kimmie then was helping Romani cut up tomatoes and carrots for the salad. Mimi went to Anju, and asked how many people were to be served.

            “Thirteen,” she said. “Counting you four.” Mimi went back to the kitchen and helped split the food onto thirteen trays. With the help of Anju, they delivered the food to everyone in the Inn. After that was done, they all sat to their own food.

            “This is delicious!” said Anju, taking another bite.

            “Yeah, we did pretty good!” said Gabriella.

            “Hey…Mimi?” asked Kimmie.

            “Yes?”

            “I didn’t even ask you…Why are you two here?”

            “Yes, tell,” said Anju.

            “It’s a pretty long story…” said Mimi. So she told Kimmie, Anju and Gabriella of the banquet, and how she was eligible to go one her first adventure. She also explained that this was they’re last stop.

            “Your homeland sounds so amazing…” said Gabriella.

            “I wish we could see it…” said Kimmie.

            “You’re in luck!” said Mimi.

            “We were planning on leaving anyway,” said Romani.

            “When?” asked Kimmie.

            “In a few days. Early in the morning,” said Mimi. “If you wanted to come, you’d have to wake up at the crack of dawn with us.”

            “No problem!” said Gabriella. We’ll wake up.”

 

    *             *            *

            A few days later…

 

“Hurry up, Kimmie!” said Romani.

            “Hold on!” said Kimmie. “I’m leaving a note for Anju with our recipes.” Once she finished, Mimi went out to Epona and Ashley. Loading the bags onto each of them, Mimi mounted Ashley. Soon, Romani, Gabriella and Kimmie walked out. Romani mounted Epona, and Gabriella swung on behind her. Kimmie mounted behind Mimi.

            “Yah!” shouted Mimi. The horses ran at a fast gallop, and left Clock Town.

 

 

 

     *             *           *

After a long travel, we find the four girls on Hyrule Field, heading towards the marketplace…

 

            “This is it!” said Mimi.

            “We’re almost there!” said Romani. Mimi was so excited. She had been gone for two years, and was finally back home.

            “Whoa! Whoa! Slow down Epona!” said Romani.

            “What’s wrong?” asked Mimi. Romani pointed to the entrance to the marketplace. Mimi gasped. The drawbridge had been torn down, having to force the girls to leave the horses behind. They were tied to the sign, and the four walked inside…

 

 

     *             *            *

     Mimi was surprised how much the place changed: There was absolutely no one in sight, making it seem like a ghost town. All the buildings were torn down, and Mimi saw the spear and helmet of one of the knights.

            “You live here?” asked Kimmie.

            “Unfortunately…yes,” said Mimi, and walked to the tree she had sat in while waiting for Romani on her leaving day.

            “Why did you leave, Princess?” The voice sounded faint and soft, as if whoever it was just woke up.  Mimi turned, drawing her dagger.

“Who’s there?” she said. Looking around, Mimi spotted a small girl about six, walking out from behind the torn down building of the Potion Shop.

She was wearing a tattered white dress, with spots of mud and dirt on it. With her short brown hair, she had hazy, almost dazed brown eyes.

            “Who are you?” asked Romani. The girl ignored the question.

            “When you left, everything changed,” she said to Mimi. “There is no one left…” The wind blew hard, and everyone except the girl covered their eyes. When they looked up, all that they saw that there were zombies, Re-Deads, that were surrounding the girl.

            These beasts, would jump on you, and would feed off of your brain. They only appear when something terrible had befallen the area.

            “Move!” said Mimi to the girl. Romani took out her bow.

            “These were the only friends I could find when everyone left. They protect me like I was part of their family…” said the girl. The Re-Deads then began to slowly walk forward.

            “We don’t have time for this!” said Mimi to the others. “Follow me!” She ran in the direction of the castle, and the others followed her. When they reached the castle, they saw two guards in front of the entrance. They weren’t humans, but were a mixture of a pig and a bull. But what they were guarding was no longer the castle Mimi knew.

            Its walls were black, and the towers no longer had flags on them. She could see the faint outlines of her old castle, but everything else was dark and dreary. All Mimi could tell was that something happened.

            “This way,” she whispered.

            “That’s the way to the guards!” Romani said in a frantic whisper.

            “I know,” Mimi whispered back. She jumped forward and knocked out each of the guards with one kick each.

            “Come on!” she said, and ran into the castle. Cautiously, the others followed, hoping the guards wouldn’t wake yet.

            Inside the castle was just as bad. Mimi looked at the walls and saw different weapons. The red rug was now a dark blue, and two beasts were patrolling the entrance to a door. Where are my parents? She asked herself. She ran up a flight of stairs to the most sacred room of the place. Kimmie spotted Mimi and motioned for the others. Unfortunately, the guards spotted the end of Gabriella’s skirt, and followed.

            Finally the girls caught up to her.

            “Mimi…?” said Gabriella. They just watched as Mimi walked forward to a small table that had an instrument on it. It was blue and was known as…

            “The Ocarina of Time!” said Romani. Mimi nodded and snatched the instrument and heard footsteps.

            “They came this way!” said a gruff voice. Mimi looked around at the door, and began to search for an escape. “Protect anyone who gets involved…” Mimi remembered what her father said at the banquet. Gabriella opened a window.

            “It’s our only option!” she said and jumped without screaming. Kimmie followed, then Romani sat on the sill, waiting.

Mimi hesitated.

            “Come on Mimi!” said Romani, and jumped.

            “Hurry up!” said the voice again.

            “I think I stubbed my toe!” said the other.

            “They’re getting away!” said the gruff one. Mimi took a deep breath and jumped out. She refrained from screaming and rolled as she landed.

            “We have to get out of here!” said Gabriella. Mimi led the way and they ended up in a Temple. The Temple of Time.

                 With high ceilings, this place could have been mistaken for a church. There were three windows on a high part of each wall, on the left and right. There was a long rug on the floor, and ahead was an alter with three different stones in three hollows. Mimi walked forward to huge door that was behind it and stared. Kimmie walked forward, and knocked on the door with her knuckles.

            “Solid,” she said, and stepped back. Suddenly, something in Mimi’s memory hit her…

 

            A small girl was standing behind a young man dressed in green. The girl watched and listened as the man played a tune on the Ocarina of Time. When he finished, the huge door behind the alter shut. Before it did, the girl caught a glimpse of a sword stuck halfway in a stone…

 

            Mimi regained her consciousness and stood in front of the alter. Taking out her Ocarina, Mimi played the tune she remembered from her childhood memories.

            Suddenly, the huge stone doors opened, and Kimmie cautiously stepped back. As the doors opened, the girls entered. Mimi stepped in first, and saw it: the sword stuck halfway in the stone.

Romani spoke first.

“Isn’t that—?”

“The Master Sword!” Kimmie continued. “I’ve heard stories about it. My parents would tell me about a hero who traveled through time to save everyone.” Mimi walked up the steps leading to the sword, and grasped it with both hands. Taking a few deep breaths, she tugged and the sword pulled free! Mimi gasped for her breath as a blue light surrounded her and expanded to fill the whole room. The four screamed, and vanished…

 

 

 

 

            *              *           *

            “Awaken, young heroines…” said a voice. Mimi’s eyes fluttered open.

            “Where am I?” she asked. She looked around her and saw her friends. Gabriella woke up and rubbed her eyes. Kimmie and Romani woke next.

            “Where are we?” asked Romani. Mimi looked in front of her and saw an old man dressed in yellow robes.

            “Who are you?” she asked.

            “I am Rauru, the Sage of Light,” said Rauru. “I have been awaiting your arrival. Right now you are in the Chamber of Sages.” Mimi stared and saw the Master Sword was on her back. Her dagger was now on Kimmie.

            “I have much to tell you four…” said Rauru.

            “We’re listening,” said Gabriella.

            “Good,” said Rauru. “Now, you four are not ordinary girls. You have a mission.”

            “A mission?” asked Kimmie.

            “Yes,” said Rauru. “Mimi, when you left on your adventure, you took Romani with you. That was a smart move. If she had stayed, she would have been tormented by Ganondorf himself.” Romani said nothing but gave Mimi a look of gratitude.

            “Wasn’t Ganondorf sealed away?” asked Kimmie.

            “Yes,” said Rauru. “But alas, he escaped from the Evil Realm. When he escaped, he immediately took over the land of Hyrule. He seized the chance you were not there, Mimi.”

            “Why me?” asked Mimi.

            “You are a descendant of Link the Hero of Time, and Princess Zelda. Because of that, Ganondorf knows that one day you would rise to defeat him with the help of three others.” Rauru looked at Gabriella, Kimmie, and Romani. “Fortunately, you have found those three. With that, you shall train as the heroines of all the lands.”

            “All the lands?” asked Mimi.

            “Yes, all the lands,” said Rauru. “Ganondorf’s plans have grown over time.” As soon as he said that five others appeared.

                One was a child. She had green, short hair with a headband, and blue eyes. She had on a green tang top with a dark green sweater underneath. She also wore dark green boots that went up to her knees, and green shorts.

            “I am Saria, the Sage of the Forest,” said Saria.

            The next girl was wearing a long blue dress. One side went down to her ankles, and the other went to her knee. On the rim of the dress was a design of seashells. She had blue skin and was barefoot. Her eyes were violet. She was obviously a Zora, the water creatures of Hyrule.

            “I am Ruto, Sage of Water,” said Ruto.

            The next one was a Hyrulean species know as the Goron. This one had spikes growing on his head, and was very fat. (‘Course they all are…)

            “I am Darunia, Sage of Fire,” said Darunia.

            The next one was a young woman with dark skin. She was from the Gerudo race, thieves on the outskirts of Hyrule. She had her orange hair tied up into a high ponytail, and wore a gold necklace. She had on a belly shirt that was white, and had on baggy pants. Her shoes were leather and curved at the tip.

            “I am Nabooru, Sage of Spirit,” said Nabooru.

            The last Sage Mimi recognized as her mother’s caretaker, Impa. She had on an armored leotard. On her belt were a bunch of knives. She had on black boots, and her short silver hair was up in a ponytail.

            “I am Impa, Sage of Shadow,” she said.

            “Now that we have all introduced ourselves,” said Saria, “how about we start training?”

            “A wonderful idea!” said Nabooru.

            “Alright then…” said Rauru. “Mimi, use whatever tactics you need. You will face off against Saria.” Mimi and Saria vanished and reappeared in a forest.

            “Oh boy…” said Mimi.

            “Just my luck!” said Saria. “Let’s begin!” Her eyes and hands glowed green, and she ran towards Mimi.

            “Kimmie will face off against Ruto!” said Rauru. The two vanished, and reappeared on top of a lake. Luckily there was some sort of shield between Kimmie and the water, allowing her to move freely.

            “Ready?” asked Ruto. Her eyes and hands glowed blue, and she summoned a water tentacle she made from the water. Kimmie drew her dagger, and stepped back.

            “Romani versus Nabooru!” said Rauru. Those two vanished, and reappeared in the middle of the graveyard.

            “Yes!” said Nabooru. Her eyes and hands glowed gold, and from the gravestones rose spirits. Romani drew her bow and arrows and got ready.

            “Lastly, Gabriella versus Darunia!” said Rauru. The two vanished and reappeared inside a volcano. Darunia tossed Gabriella a big hammer to use as a weapon.

            “Megaton Hammer,” said Darunia. “Use it wisely. Good luck!” His eyes and hands glowed red and from the lava arose a fire dragon. Gabriella gripped her hammer and began to sweat from the heat.

 

            “Just give up,” said Saria. Mimi was binded by a vine that seemed to squeeze harder the more Mimi squirmed. Using her sword, Mimi cut at the vine, which snapped. Saria suddenly lost control and was open for an attack. Mimi tackled her to the ground and put the blade to Saria’s throat as she tried to get up.

            “Dead,” said Mimi. “I win.” Saria sighed and they reappeared in the Chamber of Sages.

 

            “C’mon, you can do better!” said Ruto as her water tentacle raced towards Kimmie.

            “You’re right! I can do better!” she said. She stopped running, and jumped backwards in the air and landed on top of the tentacle. Sliding down the back of the tentacle, Kimmie jumped off, and before she landed, gave Ruto a swift kick. Ruto flew back a few feet. They then reappeared in the Chamber of Sages.

 

            “Yikes!” said Romani, nearly getting hit by a ghost’s lantern. She fired an arrow, making a direct hit, and the ghost retreated to it’s grave. Romani aimed three arrows and hit three ghosts in a row. She ran forward, and punched Nabooru in the gut. Nabooru doubled over, and Romani gave he a nice kick sending her halfway across the graveyard. They vanished, and reappeared in the Chamber of Sages.

 

            “Dodge, dodge, dodge, YIKES!!” said Gabreilla dodging a fire blow from the dragon. Gabriella took a deep breath and did a huge flip into the air, hitting the dragon’s head as she did. It fell to the floor, and Gabriella ran forward and hit Darunia’s foot with the Megaton Hammer. Darunia cursed and held his foot.

            “Yeah!” said Gabriella, and held up the peace sign. They reappeared in the Chamber of Sages.

            “It seems,” said Rauru, “you are the chosen ones.”

            “You mind explaining how we destroy Ganondorf?” asked Kimmie.

            “It’s not as easy as it seems…” said Saria. “He has much power now…”

            “But with you four, it may not take long,” said Nabooru. She rubbed the back of her head. “Kid, you’ve got a hard kick!” Romani smiled.

            “Thanks!” she said.

            “There are seven orbs…” said Impa. “Seven orbs of light that can help. They are the answer, and you are the key.”

            “When these orbs are collected, they form together, and spread light through the worlds that are covered in darkness,” said Darunia.

            “As you find them, they should sink into the Master Sword, for safe keeping, and it will also enhance your power,” said Ruto. “They must be found. We need that Evil King gone and peace restored as soon as possible.”

            “How are we supposed to do that?” asked Mimi. We’re only fourteen.”

            “Not exactly,” said Saria. “You’ve been here training with us for three years. You just can’t remember it. You’re now able to go on and find the orbs, with the new strength you have obtained.”

            “Good luck, heroins,” said Rauru. That was all they heard before the four girls vanished. It was then Mimi remembered.

            “Where are my parents?” she cried.

            Nothing.

 

 

 

         *            *           *

Mimi and the others ran out to Hyrule Field, and untied the horses.

            “Watch your ankles!” said a voice. They looked around.

            “Move your foot!”

            “That hurts!”

            “It’s the horses!” said Gabriella.

“Finally, smart one saves the day!” said Ashley. “How many times do I have to say ‘Move your foot!??” said Epona.

            “Sorry!” said Romani. “Hey, wait! I’ve known you both since you were foals, and you choose now to talk? …Since when could you talk?!”

            “I had technical difficulties back then…” said Epona. “And…for the second question…I have absolutely no idea.”

            “Mimi!” said Ashley.

            “Oh!” said Mimi and moved her foot.

“Now, where are we going?” asked Gabriella. Mimi didn’t know why but had an urge to go to the forest.

            “The Forest!” she said. The horses neighed and galloped off.

 

       *            *           *

            “I’ve never been here before, yet I say something’s wrong,” said Romani. The Kokiris, forest kids, were said to live here. They always stayed ten years old for their life, and never grew up.  Their homes were once beautiful tree houses but now their homes were demolished. Mimi urged Ashley towards a hill, and they galloped up it. They rode through a tunnel, and entered the Lost Woods.

 

            All around, there were tunnels. Somehow Mimi was able to tell which direction to go.

            “Once we pass through this tunnel,” she said, “we’ll be in the Sacred Forest Meadow.” Whatever that is. She thought. Ashley walked through and they found themselves face to face with a Moblin, a huge monster that had on armor, and a huge spear.

            Mimi dismounted Ashley, and Kimmie came off next. Romani and Gabriella dismounted Epona and faced the monster.

They all took out their weapons and made a combo attack: Gabriella slammed the Megaton Hammer down, making the beast loose its balance, and it fell to one knee; Kimmie used her dagger, knocked the spear out of his hands and poked both arms with it. She distracted him and jumped out of the way just as Romani launched two arrows: one in the head, and one in the chest. The second arrow missed but Mimi took care of that by swinging the Master Sword into the beast’s heart. (If it had one)

All of this happened so quickly that the Moblin had no idea what happened. After Mimi slashed, the beast fell, face first, behind her.

“That was amazing!” said Ashley.

“Cooler than cool!” said Epona.

“We should leave you two here just in case something else happens,” said Gabriella.

“Stay here,” said Romani. The two horses lay where they were and stayed. Mimi and the others walked to a maze and climbed the wall. It wasn’t all that big, and all of the tunnels led to the same place: A tall staircase that led to another staircase.

The girls jumped across the top of the maze and ran up the stairs to see a huger Moblin. The girls got ready to fight but then…

“Take this!” came a girl’s voice. The Moblin looked around and then vines from the ground came up and squeezed the Moblin and it vanished.

“Direct hit!” said the girl again.

“Saria?”

“That’s my name, don’t wear it out!” said Saria. She jumped down from her tree, and walked up to them.

“Glad to see you! I could use your help,” said Saria. “The Moblins have been appearing in great numbers. I can’t fend them off alone. There is also a huge Moblin that is the leader. If you can help me destroy, or get rid of it, I would be very grateful.”

“No problem!” said Kimmie.

“We’ll help you get rid of this leader,” said Mimi.

“It’ll be easy!” said Gabriella.

 At that moment, a huge, monstrous gigantic Moblin came up behind them.

            “Scratch that,” said Gabriella.

            Saria used her powers and a leaf appeared out of nowhere under her feet. She flew up, and pulled vines with her. Wrapping them around the Moblin, Saria squeezed as hard as her power would let her.

            “I could use some help here!!” she said, as the Moblin snatched her out of the air.

            Gabriella ran forward, and slammed the hammer down on the Moblin’s foot. It gave a terrible scream and held its foot, dropping, Saria in the process.

            “Come!” she said to her leaf. It flew under her, and caught her in midair. Now the Moblin was angry! It swung its ax down, and aimed it straight for Gabriella.

Too paralyzed to move, Gabriella just stood there. Saria summoned a branch from a tree, and pushed Gabriella forward, letting the ax hit nothing but air.

            Mimi took this advantage, and broke the stick that held the ax. The Moblin swooped his arm down and grabbed Mimi! Romani immediately fired an arrow. This arrow was true. It hit the Moblin right on its wrist, and he dropped Mimi.

            Saria flew under her and caught her on the leaf.

            “Thanks!” she said. Saria nodded and commanded the leaf to go back down. Planting two feet on the ground, Mimi suddenly felt strange as if she was suddenly filled with power. Too much power.

            I need to release this energy! She thought.

            “Get out of the way!!” she yelled. Gabriella, Kimmie and Romani moved from their battle position as Mimi pointed her sword directly at the Moblin. Almost as if she commanded it, the Master Sword shot forth a beam of light, and hit the Moblin, square in the chest. It keeled over, and collapsed, dead.

            Mimi panted for breath, and fell to her knees. I didn’t mean that much energy! Romani kneeled next to her.

            “Look!” said Gabriella. She pointed to where the Moblin’s body once was. Instead there was a bright orb, just floating in midair.

            “Go on,” said Kimmie. She pushed Mimi forward. Mimi cautiously approached the orb, sword held in front of her. As she got closer, the orb accidentally touched the edge of her blade. Mimi gaped as the orb slowly sank into the Master Sword. Suddenly, Mimi felt her energy return to her. She walked back to the others who were as surprised as she was.

            “Thank you,” said Saria. “You got the orb, and helped me.” Mimi and the others smiled.

            “Your welcome,” said Romani. Saria nodded, and vanished in a wisp of green light.

            The four walked back to Epona and Ashley, who were still staying.

            “What was that?” asked Ashley.

            “We heard clashes and screams and then saw a bright light, nothing, and then another bright light!” said Epona. “What was that?”

            “We’ll talk about it later,” said Mimi. They mounted, and left the
