Disclaimer: I don't own Legend of Zelda or any of its characters. That honor goes to Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo, et. al. Given that, I cannot guarantee that the characters will be 100 percent IC all the time, as I am not Miyamoto. (If I was, that would rock.) Link's a kid in this one, but the content is pretty mild, so it's not too channish.
Also, talk about women's underwear in here...nothing graphic enough for a PG-13, I'm sure. Maybe I just have a dirty mind.
The Skull Kid was up to his usual mischief again - the kind that originally made the townspeople threaten to tear him limb from limb if he didn't knock it off. But after the whole Majora's Mask incident, when he and Link became friends, Clock Town's natives figured that “any friend of Link's is a friend of mine” and resolved to tolerate the imp for their hero's sake.
Unfortunately for them, Skull Kid was something of a bad influence on Link.
The duo spent their mornings in the Lost Woods with their fairy friends, Tael and Tatl, plotting their immature schemes. On one such occasion, Skull kid sat giggling on a tree stump, surrounded by his pals, and suggested deviously:
“I know! Let's play 'truth or dare'!”
He placed his hands on his knees and leaned forward. “You first, Link - truth or dare?” He pointed to the elfin boy in question.
“Hey!” Tatl cut in. “Who said you get to decide what we play?”
“Yeah, you decided last time,” Tael added.
Skull Kid turned to the fairies. “But you always want to play tag!”
“Not always,” Tatl scoffed. “Besides, you're probably going to get us in really big trouble!”
Tael fluttered in devious circles around his sister. “You're just scared.”
“I am not!”
The fairies continued their sibling banter and Link watched them, unsure of what else he could do in such a situation. Skull Kid sulked - he didn't like it when his friends were fighting, but there was nothing he could do until they settled their dispute. In the meantime, he kept his eyes on Link. A gentle zephyr blew the boy's blond bangs off his face, exposing the friendly face Skull Kid had come to admire so much. He wondered how it was possible Link could be so kind as to give him a second chance after all the trouble he had caused...
Link turned suddenly as though realizing he was being watched, and then inched closer to Skull Kid. Tael and Tatl cut their bickering short to see what was going on, and all of a sudden, Skull Kid jumped up excitedly. “He picked 'dare'!”
As Link stood up, Skull Kid gave his trademark giggle. “I dare you to...”
He leaned in closer to Link, as did Tatl and Tael.
“...to sneak into the Stock Pot Inn and bring back something belonging to the hostess!”
Tael immediately protested, “Hey, that's not fair! He could just find something and bring it back, claiming it belongs to her!”
“Hmm...” Skull Kid mused. “Yes, perhaps I should make it more daring...” With a devious grin, he changed his original challenge. “Bring back a pair of her undergarments.”
Even Tatl had to snicker at this provocation. Link wore a worried look but kept calm - he had conquered far more difficult challenges in the past...
At about high noon, Link strode into Clock Town. He had no problem reaching the Stock Pot Inn and heading up the stairs toward the manager's suite, where once again forgetful Anju had forgotten to lock the door. She seemed to be more forgetful after her marriage to Kafei, Link noted as he cautiously turned the doorknob and tiptoed into the room.
He had not been in the absent-minded hostess' room for some time, and being a boy he had no idea where to begin searching for the woman's lingerie. For all he knew, she didn't wear undergarments, though with the long, flowing skirt Anju always wore, it was safe to assume that she did. Link glanced around the room, his eyes falling first to the unmade bed. Lo and behold, there was something pink sticking out of the blankets...
Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a pair of panties! Pink, lacy, satin panties that clearly belonged to Anju. Without a second thought, Link picked them up, placed them in his hat, and quickly exited the room.
No sooner did he step out the door than he was greeted by Tatl, who promptly asked, “Do you have it?”
In response, Link retrieved the frilly underwear from his hat. Tatl took a good look at the panties and then said, “All right, now let's get out of here before we get caught!”
Back in the Lost Woods, Skull Kid lay on his back on the grassy forest floor, staring at the sky and Tael floating overhead. When he saw the purple fairy joined by the white fairy, he rose to a sitting position, looking for Link in the distance. Sure enough, the boy in the green tunic was there, holding the pink panties.
“He did it,” Tatl announced, and Link held out the undergarment proudly for his imp companion to see.
Skull Kid examined the taboo object. “You really did it,” he chuckled, amazed that Link had actually managed to score a pair of undies from the inn manager's room. “You're amazing!”
“Now what do we do with that?” Tael asked.
Skull Kid was taken aback slightly. “I...I don't know,” he stammered. “I don't want them.” He turned to Link. “You can keep them, if you want.”
“Or maybe,” Tatl suggested, “he should put them back before Anju finds out they're missing.”
Link nodded in agreement. He would have to put them back. Oh, the things that kid had to do...
“Wait - aren't we going to play 'truth or dare' anymore?” Skull Kid asked.
“I want to go next!” Tael exclaimed.
“No, I was supposed to go next!”
It seemed as though the arguing had begun all over again. With the arguing, of course, came Skull Kid focusing on Link again...but this time, the fairies noticed. Tael and Tatl glanced at each other, both getting the same crafty notion...
“Skull Kid!” Tatl called out. “Truth or dare?”
Skull Kid, always one to take a chance on the wild side, chose “dare.”
Both fairies tried in vain to contain their giggling as Tael replied, “We dare you...and Link...to kiss.”
Link almost jumped backward when he heard what was being asked of him. Skull Kid, on the other hand, merely lowered his head slightly in coyness. He wasn't all that adverse to the dare...
He slowly made his way up to Link. “Well,” he remarked shyly, “it's only fair...”
Link, blushing feverishly, closed his eyes as Skull Kid leaned over slightly so that their lips made contact. It was a gentle, innocuous kiss, but it was enough to send Tael and Tatl into fits of shrieking, giddy hysteria.
Skull Kid pulled away quickly and turned to face the direction of the town. “Let's go,” he said, beckoning the others to follow suit in the journey to return the borrowed underwear.
