When Link woke up, the room was dark and still. Pale gray light filtered in through the gaps between the curtains, and the air was filled with the sound of his friends breathing.
Link sat up slowly in the small bed, peering over the side at his friends, who were sleeping on the floor. Bon Bon apologized over and over again for only having one guest room, but the others insisted it was fine. They also insisted Link take the one bed for himself, because he was the one who’d gotten injured the most during their previous battle with Morpha.
He insisted he was fine, because the song had healed all his wounds, but…
it seemed his friends could be exceedingly stubborn when they wanted. And now they were sleeping on the floor, propped up on piles of scattered blankets and pillows. Darunia couldn’t fit up the staircase, so he was still downstairs in the living room.
“HI!”
A loud shout made everyone in the room leap up, startled and confused.
“Wass happening?” Saria asked, blinking blearily and wiping the drool off her face.
“I’m Pinkie Pie!” The sudden interloper grinned at everyone, throwing the blinds up to let light pour into the room. “And I’m here to made you all confused.”
“What?” Link said.
“It worked!” Pinkie cheered.
“Dang it, it’s not THAT day, is it?” Epona groaned.
“It certainly is!” Pinkie cheered. Link looked at Epona, confused.
“Sorry,” she said. “Fourth wall breaks aren’t really my thing, it’s kind of out of character. I’ll keep quiet next time.”
“Fourth wall?” Ruto said, raising an eyebrow.
“Yeah, you know.” Epona said. “When you look at the audience and talk to them.”
“The audience?” Link commented. “What is even going on?”
“here, let me show you.” Pinkie pushed a hoof against Link’s head, turning it to look at you. He jolted backwards, alarmed.
“WHY ARE THERE PEOPLE LOOKING AT US???” He yelled.
“Oh, silly, cause we’re just in a story!” Pinkie giggled. She turned to wave at me. “Hi, MLE!”
“Hi, Pinkie.” I temporarily stopped typing to wave back.
“SWEET HYLIA WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!” Link dropped to the ground, throwing his hooves over his head.
“Can I see?” Saria asked. Pinkie helped her break the fourth wall too, and her eyes widened in alarm.
“There’s….what the heck is that?” She asked. Pinkie looked at whatever it was she was looking at.
“Oh…I don’t know.” She looked alarmed, surprising for Pinkie Pie. “Yeah, they’re normal--” She pointed at you-- “But…I don’t know what THAT is.”
“Oh, Sweet Hylia…it’s terrifying.” Saria murmured. “I…why are there so many—actually, what are those? Eyeballs or arms?”
“No idea. And I’m pretty sure the toes aren’t supposed to be there.” Pinkie agreed. “Now, everyone, wave goodbye to the audience because we have to go now.”
“Bye!” Saria said cheerfully, waving at you. Link was too busy having an existential crisis to be as nice, so Pinkie made up for him by waving both of her hooves.
“Where are we going?” Ruto asked, who was taking this much better than Link.
“Well, we’re not going anywhere,” Pinkie corrected. “But the author is hungry, so she needs to go and eat lunch before she starts licking her computer.”
“Bye!” Epona, Ruto, Saria, and Pinkie waved happily at you. Link buried his head under a pillow and freaked out.z
I take full responsibility for Link's existential crisis; I've got a custom poster with THIS on it cdn3.whatculture.com/images/2019/10/41e3a391e3648cc0-600x338.png
Regrets are not necessary, that was really fun
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
THat was great
You got me.
Very nice story so far, I quite liked it. I especially liked your version of Saria, she is currently my fav of all the characters in the story.
My only nitpick with it is that it felt a little too fast paced at times, with the characters never stopping for more than a brief moment. A 'breather' chapter, or even half of one, once in a while would not be amiss, I think.
Nonethless, good work.

Thanks so much for your comment! I always love reading them. ^^
Yeah, the next two chapters will actually be a breather from the action before they jump back into the adventure. The next chapter is in the process of editing, and will *hopefully* be out soon.
Well then lol that was something unexpected and basically Pinkie Pie you just broke reality again
and also way to break the drama just to lighten up the mood a little bed
