At the beach, everyone was looking adorable! Princess Zelda was wearing a black wetsuit with a purple stripe on the side. She posed as a flying camera drone, made by Jasmine (sporting a sky- blue bikini), snapped a picture of her. "What do you think, Zelda?" asked Jasmine. "I made a selfie sensing camera. It hovers into position whenever it detects a selfie opportunity all by itself!"

"I love it," said Zelda. "Where's the remote?" asked Moana (wearing a red and white bikini). "It doesn't need a remote," replied Jasmine. "It's mind-controlled." The camera drone sputtered out of control and Jasmine gasped as she tried to regain control of it. She soon managed to control the drone's speed and direction. Once she had the drone under control, she turned to Belle (wearing a light-yellow sundress and her magic lightning bolt necklace used to switch between human and mermaid when squeezed). "Which beach blanket should we use for our picture?" she asked her. "Does it matter?" asked Belle. "They're both white."

"No, they're not," protested Jasmine. "This is toasted oak! And that one is white."

"Oh," said Belle. Suddenly, the white blanket got caught in a light breeze. Rapunzel (in a pink short wetsuit) ran after it but was too late as the blanket fell in the water. Suddenly, the blanket as well as a patch of loose seaweed seemed to rise up out of the water on its own. "Ocean monster! Ocean monster!" shrieked Rapunzel, racing back to shore. But it wasn't a monster at all. It was just Princess Peach (in a light pink and white bathing suit with a little pink skirt and a pink flower on the front) scuba diving. "I just got word that the tide's coming in," she said. "We should take the picture soon or risk having damp ankles. Oh, how thoughtful." When Ferdinand arrived at the beach, he was delighted to see his friends. With a big grin, he trotted over to them. That's when he noticed Jasmine's camera drone hovering in circles around him. "Oh, hey. You made a camera drone, Jasmine?" he asked. He posed with a grin, but the camera drone just flew away from him, as if scared, and hovered behind Jasmine. "O… kay. So, who's ready to take a Best Friends picture?" asked Ferdinand. The girls didn't respond. They just looked at him. "Oh. Did I say something wrong?" asked Ferdinand. No response. "So… should we do it now, or did you want to swim first? How's the water?" The girls seemed very confused by his friendly behaviour. Still, none of them spoke, until Moana said something. "A bull wanting to be in OUR Best Friends picture? Now I've heard it all."

"Um, am I missing a joke here?" asked Ferdinand, confused. "The only joke," said Jasmine "is whatever this is you're playing at; acting all nice like you're our friend."

"And it's not funny," said Peach. "Because you're not nice," added Belle. "And we're not friends," put in Moana. "Wait. What?" said Ferdinand. "Do you have water in your ears or something?" Moana said. "I said we're not- whoa!" Before Moana could finish her sentence, Ferdinand touched her arm to take a look in her thoughts.

"Ancient creators of Hyrule," said EVE. "Now open this sealed door and lure Ganondorf into the void of the sacred realm." All six sages appeared: Scarlet Scorch, Daniel Dolphin, Impa, Saria, but no Ferdinand! He was the only sage missing.

Ferdinand gasped. "Have I been… erased?"

Ferdinand was nervous. It couldn't be! "This has to be a bad dream," he said. "I've got to wake up. I've got to wake up! I've got to- ow!" Rapunzel had pinched him. "Nope. You're awake," she said. She pinched herself. "Ow! Me too."

"What about you, Belle?" Ferdinand said, touching Belle's arm. This is what he saw.

During the motorcycle race at the Friendship Games, Ferdinand fell off his bike and almost became plant food, but Belle shrugged and continued the race. Ferdinand wasn't there either.

"No, no! Belle, you saved me in that race," said Ferdinand. "What are you talking about?" asked Belle. "I can see your thoughts," said Ferdinand. "And I'm not in them!"

"And just how can you see our thoughts?" asked Moana. "Because I have magic," said Ferdinand. "Magic?" scoffed Jasmine. "That's crazy."

"You have magic too," said Ferdinand. "You're the Girl Squad, remember?" Nobody said a thing. "Rapunzel, what about when I came to your slumber party to get to know Princess Daisy?"

"Ha! The closest you've ever came to a party of mine is when you were jumping around and almost destroyed my tower," said Rapunzel. "Only because I got startled when your pet chameleon was walking on my hoof," said Ferdinand. He looked to Zelda. "Zelda, you remember me, right?" he asked hopefully. "We've been through so much together… please…"

"I only met you once," said Zelda. "When you were destroying everything at the Flower Festival."

"Only because I got stung by a bee," said Ferdinand. "Don't you know I'm not a fighter?" None of the girls said a thing this time. They only shook their heads. "Maybe somebody will…" Ferdinand said. "I'll be right back!" And he hurried off, accidentally kicking up dust and sand in his wake. He could hear Jasmine cough and say "Oh no! That bull is attacking us with sand!"

"Sorry!" called Ferdinand. He sat under a shady palm tree nearby and looked up at the Magic Star. It was so bright, it could even be seen in the daytime. He gave a big sad sigh. "Sonic the hedgehog," he said to the star. "This is going to sound crazy but… are we friends?" He looked around and saw a little boy shielding himself being another tree. "Am I… gentle?" Ferdinand asked the Magic Star. "Please say something…" Ferdinand pleaded quietly as he set his big bull body down in the sand. Suddenly, he saw the star twinkle brightly and heard Sonic's voice. "Of course, we're friends!" said the star. Ferdinand sighed in relief. "Are you okay? What's going on?" asked the star. "It's hard to explain," said Ferdinand. "Meet me in the courtyard and I'll tell you." And so Ferdinand hurried off to the courtyard to talk to Sonic the hedgehog!
