A/N: MWAHAHAHA! (waves like an idiot) Hiii! Welcome to the long awaited sequel to We're In Hyrule, stupid!, woohoo! Yep, I've decided to do one. I missed working on WIHs. :D;; If you didn't read WIHs you'd still be fine just jumping in and reading this one. But just to let ya know in advance, sometimes I'll be referencing stuff from there, since this is a sequel and all. You remember my two companions in that story, yes? My lilac-colored fairy, Niagra, and the Hero of Time himself, Link!

Niagra/Link: Yo!

A/N: And this is my new narrator, Ryo! (pulls in Boredom's old narrator)

Ryo: (waves) Hi!

A/N: So, blah, blah, and ya, welcome! And if you didn't notice, I CHANGED MY NAAAAMMMEEEEEEEE!

I am no longer the "L-Gurl" from before; I'm not so 'lil' anymore and I really needed a new identity since LilFilipinoGurl was gettin' old.
Since I didn't really describe the earthlings' personalities and looks/ethnicities in the last story, I will in this chapter, to help you guys visualize what they look like... For now at least, cuz then these descriptions will become useless starting from the 10th chapter since I give them new outfits there (along with a picture so ya'll can see what they look like!). By the way, the third girl that will be described is not the author. Really. It's true I based her off of me at first, but she became her own character. Plus she's the same girl from WIHs and of course I can't just change her in the sequel yanno... XD;

Also, they're all a bit older, since I thought Link was a bit young in Majora's Mask. He's thirteen here.

One more thing––although this is one of those "people-get-sucked-into-a-video-game"-type stories, it's definitely not just pointless humor. Humor is the main genre, but I'm going to do my best to really make it interesting plot-wise also; having the team do many of the sub-quests from the game, developing relationships, thinking of creative ways to link events together; yanno, that kind of stuff too. It follows the game's events pretty closely as well. Meaning, this fic's gonna be a big, huge, long one!

I have really awesome plans for this story so I hope you give WITb a chance! :D

And now I'm finally done blabbing– let us begin! (smacks a gong with a frying pan)

x – x – x – x – x – x

One evening, in a nice house in a friendly neighborhood, five teenagers were all chatting... rather loudly. And obnoxiously. While stuffing chips, soda and other junk food down their throats. It was somewhat of a horrifying sight, really.

But they quieted immediately as the scene on the television changed.

The five teens all at the age of fourteen sat in the bedroom, watching the TV intently. On the screen a boy with green clothes, midnight blue eyes, and golden blond hair sat upon a brown-red horse. He looked drowsy as the horse walked aimlessly around a misty forest.

They continued to watch. Two boys started fighting over a bag of chips, though.

The first boy, Brian, cackled in victory as he managed to snatch the bag. Brian was a charming, good-looking guy with short black hair which was slightly spiked, thanks to hair gel. The TV flickered a soft blue hue on his strong, large black-brown eyes. Brian was Hispanic, and build-wise, he had broad shoulders and a strong body, thanks to his being in the school's baseball team. Personality-wise, he was the type of person to use sarcasm and get annoyed or irritated somewhat easily. He didn't like to waste time doing stupid things, and was a semi-pessimist. However deep down, Brian was a pretty nice and a caring person on the inside. Although he didn't show that side very often.

The other boy was named Gilbert and he just shrugged at his stolen chips, instead taking a cookie and scarfing that down instead. Gilbert was Hispanic as well, and the color of his spiked hair was also black, but longer and smoothed a bit to make it look softer and tamer. Soft brown eyes watched the screen. His build was pretty good, not bad considering he didn't devote his time to a lot of sports. This boy's personality ranged from funny to just really corny, but they all loved him anyway. He's happy-go-lucky and hates it whenever conflict is present. Not much can get this boy down... and due to this optimism, everyone else does get annoyed with him at times.

In the room with the two boys were three girls. The first one, a girl European in appearance, started to scold Brian for being mean and taking Gilbert's chips. (Even though he didn't care and got over it already.) This girl's name was Hayarpi (Hah-yar-pee), and she had wavy, rich brown hair that reached a little past her shoulders. Her eyes were a soft light brown, being of Armenian descent. She had a lean, slightly petite build and was also the level-headed polite one, but if she got mad she wouldn't hide it. Also Hayarpi was the knowledgeable one of the bunch, always the first to point something out. Though sometimes she has too much fun with her explanations that it scares everyone else...

The second girl looked to Hayarpi and told her to chill, stuffing a cookie in her mouth. Her name was Ines (like the letter 'E' and then 'ness'), of Hispanic origin as well along with being the oldest of the group. Her hair was long and dark brown with blonde highlights, and was currently tied back into a high ponytail. Her eyes were hazel, and her build was strong and fit since she liked to play sports. Ines did have a temper and was the outspoken type; she will let you know what she thinks whether you like it or not. Due to that she sometimes came off as pushy or rude, but really she always had the best intentions in mind and she did have a girly side of being jumpy too.

Finally there was the third girl, who ignored her friends' squabbling and just continued cheering like a maniac at the TV screen. This girl was Nicole, and she was Filipino in ethnicity. Her hair was jet black, down to the middle of her back, and slightly wavy with side-swept bangs. Her eyes were a shade of dark brown, and her build was average, right between Ines and Hayarpi's. She was hyperactive, kinda pervy, amused easily and similar to Gilbert in the way that she liked happiness, but loved to tease people too. When she wasn't settling fights, she would be the one fighting, but only because she liked to argue and sometimes liked to surprise people with her random wit.

The five were freshmen in high school now, but their friendship began long ago in elementary. Despite their different personalities, there was something that made them all just click. They fought often but rarely was it serious, because truly, they really were fond of one another and treasured their friendship very much. And because of that, they hung out often too.

Like that evening, for example. Brian, Hayarpi, Ines, and Gilbert were all staying over at Nicole's house again for another sleepover. The current time was 8pm and Hayarpi, Brian and Ines were sitting comfortably on Nicole's bed while Gilbert sat on a chair and Nicole herself was sitting on a green beanbag, a three-pronged controller in her hands.

After a long narrative introduction, finally, somebody spoke!

"So!" Nicole called, waving her controller in the air. "Whatcha think of Majora's Mask, the new Zelda game!? Pretty spiffy, ain't it?"

Brian sighed. "It's only been five minutes yanno, like we know if it's good or not yet."

"... Hey, don't be a hater."

"You know what?" Ines started, looking at the green hat sitting jovially on Nicole's lap as memories of a previous adventure came to mind... "I feel weird calling it a game, yanno?" She eyed the blond on the TV screen. "Since we actually went through it ourselves." Everyone nodded. Ines looked to Nicole's hat, grinning. "And I can't believe you still have that. I thought you'd lose it."

"Of course I still have it!" Nicole said in defense. "I wanted to bring it out for Linky-poo's new game, so I kept it safe."

"Plus it's the only proof that our Hyrule adventure was real," Hayarpi added.

Nicole nodded in agreement. "Yeah, and the only memory from Link that we have." She glanced at Ines. "What, did you expect me to lose it?"

Ines stared. "Dude, I just said that."

"... No you didn't."

"Yes I did!"

"No you didn't!"

"Yes I did!"

"No you didn't!"

For people that went through a supernatural, life-changing experience, they sure didn't let it affect them too much. They had to admit though; in some aspects they definitely did mature.

In fact when the five returned from their Hyrule trip two years ago, only one real-time week had passed in their world the entire time they were gone. They went to Hyrule as seventh graders, spent months fighting monsters, traveled through time and aged seven years and went through all kinds of emotional and physical difficulties and hardships, and returned to their world still as seventh graders. So while their bodies were quite young, of course their minds had developed and thought differently. Link too had the same thing happen to him.

And as the earthlings came back and went on with their lives, everyone just commented on how grown up they became overnight, which was of course ironic...

Some things though, like their personalities, didn't veer too far from their original selves. Lots of squabbling, teasing, arguing... it was part of their friendship package.

Finally Gilbert stood, shoving the two girls' faces away from each other. "Will you two be quiet please?" he sighed.

"Ooooh, well I'm sooo sorry, daddy!" Nicole said, grinning at him.

"Daddy?"

"You're mah sugah daddy!"

Gilbert backed away. Ines glared at Nicole. "No! He's MAH sugah daddy!"

"No, MINE!"

"MINE! You know too well that he's MY boyfriend!"

Hayarpi smiled. "And Brian's MY boyfriend!"

Brian grinned at her. "Yep. Ever since what happened when we had to return to Earth two years ago..."

This shut everyone up, a memory coming back to them all...

:: Flashback! ::
(We're In Hyrule, stupid! Ch.27)

"Farewell everybody!" Link called out to the five.

"Bye guys!" Navi cried out.

"Bye Link! Bye Navi! We'll miss you!" said the voices of the earthlings.

Nicole touched the spot on her cheek where she was kissed and smiled at Link. Brian glanced at the two. 'Well... if Link can do it...' thought the male human, 'Then... I can do it too!'

"Hayarpi?" Brian asked.

The girl turned to him. "Yes?"

In one swift movement, Brian took Hayarpi in his arms, dipped her, and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. Nicole and Link looked at them, then at one another, and grinned widely.

Gilbert gulped. 'Link and Brian have done it already... my turn...'

With the same swift movement, Gilbert grabbed Ines's arm, spun her around to face him, and kissed her softly on the lips.

Nicole and Link grinned even wider.

Brian broke the kiss and he and Hayarpi stared into each other's eyes, breathing hard.

"Well..." panted Brian, "There's the kissing scene you wanted." Hayarpi looked at him wide-eyed, kissed him again, and fainted in his arms.

It was Ines who broke her and Gilbert's kiss. "You... kissed me..." she panted.

Gilbert smiled at her. "Yeah... I sure did..." Ines fainted in Gilbert's arms.

Nicole laughed at them. Finally! But then she realized something and turned to Link. "Hey, were you planning this?"

"Uh... I didn't plan on kissing you before... I just decided to do it now. So it was sort of a last minute thing. But I think Gilbert and Brian planned it."

Gilbert and Brian held their new girlfriends in their arms. "Yep!"

:: End of Flashback! ::

"That was friggin' shocking!" Nicole laughed.

Brian and Gilbert looked to her. "Huh? Why's that?" Gilbert asked.

"Because," The raven-haired girl paused the game and smirked at them. "All throughout our journey in Hyrule, it was Ines and Hayarpi who were talking about kissing you guys! ... And why I didn't tell this to you guys earlier is beyond me. But yeah."

There was a pregnant pause.

Before Nicole knew it, she was being tackled to the ground. Brian and Gilbert stared as Hayarpi and Ines smothered her with pillows, trying to shut her up.

"MMPPFFHH! MFHPPFFHH!"

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU REVEALED THAT!" Ines yelled.

Hayarpi yelped as Nicole found her way around the pillows and bit her hand. She rubbed it, trying to ease the pain. "Ow! I thought you forgot about that!"

Finally the two boys stepped in and pulled their girlfriends off Nicole. The Asian girl 'phew!'-ed and sat up. "Anyway, what? Forget!? You must be kidding! All that time I spent listening to you guys blabbering ON and ON and ON and ON about how "hot" Gilbert and Brian were!" She then pointed at the two girls, threw her head back, and laughed hysterically.

Brian and Gilbert burst out laughing. "How ironic!" Gilbert managed.

"Isn't it? It was pretty obvious anyway, like the blushing, the hugging, blahblahblah. Link and I were like, 'finally!' when you guys got together, seriously."

The other four sweatdropped at her.

"So yeah. Let's move on."

It was quiet.

Nicole stood up. "I have idea! Let's play a gaaaame!"

Everyone sweatdropped. Brian raised an eyebrow. "What game?"

"Have you guys heard of... Seven Minutes in Heaven?"

Everybody looked at her in pure horror.

"... What?"

"Make out time!" Ines cackled to Gilbert.

"That is, if you get him," Hayarpi pointed out.

"... Dengit."

"I don't even know how to play," Nicole sweatdropped. "... So we'll just sort of play it like Spin The Bottle. The spinner gets to stay in my closet for seven minutes with the person that the bottle points at, okay? You can't turn the light on, as it must be in complete darkness! Okay? OKAY!" She yelled. Before anybody could answer, Nicole sped out of the room to get a bottle.

"Oh jeez," Brian said, pounding his head on the table with the TV on it.

Suddenly the Nintendo 64 next to it began to glow.

"Uh, you guys..." Hayarpi started. Everyone looked to her. She pointed.

And everybody stared, wide-eyed, as the soft jade glow around the console started turning into a brighter, lime green color. The lights shut off in the room, the only illumination being the strange violet glow of the TV screen and the emerald shine of the N64.

Ines stared, eyes widening. "Whoa, w-what's going on?!"

Gilbert slowly started advancing on the console, reaching out an arm. "Maybe... we're being sucked in again!"

"Wait, don't touch it!"

Gilbert withdrew his hand just as the N64 started shaking. Everyone backed up, watching in a weird mix of awe, fear and curiosity as the cables lit up too. The glow from the TV and the N64 combined, consuming the wall of the side of the room it was on, spreading all the way to Nicole's closet. The closet door started glowing too.

Everyone stared. "W... What do we do?" Hayarpi sweatdropped, not sure what all this glowing was about...

But her question went unanswered as Nicole burst into the room again. "I FOUND A BOTTLE!"

Everybody's head snapped up, seeing a silhouetted figure in the doorway. In panic they started screaming.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

"GGAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!"

"EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK!"

Nicole's eye twitched. "What the heck!?"

The two couples covered their mouths. They looked to the N64 and the TV; the glow had vanished immediately upon Nicole's burst-in, and the wall and closet were back to normal too. On the TV screen the game was still on pause, as if nothing happened...

Nicole tilted her head and then flicked on the lights. "Why were the lights off?" she asked, stepping into her bedroom and closing the door. "Meanies, were you starting without me?"

"NICOLE!" Ines yelled, tackling her. "Ohmygod-there-was-this-light-thing-and-the-Nintendo-started-glowing-and-so-did-the-TV-and-the-freaking-wall-and-the-closet-too-so-everybody-starting-panicking-and-stuff-and-then-you-came-in-and-the-glowing-stopped-and-yeah-I-dunno-why-but—"

Gilbert rolled his eyes and pulled the babbling Ines off Nicole. "In short, I think the game was supposed to suck us in again." He said smoothly. Ines glared at him.

"What? Really?!" Nicole ran to the front of the TV, just staring. It all looked like normal. She blinked, then looked over her shoulder at them. "Are you sure? Maybe cuz we were talking about Hyrule earlier so you guys were hallucinating or something..."

"If that was a hallucination, then I think I need to see a therapist," Brian sighed, massaging his temples. Everyone else sweatdropped at him.

Hayarpi patted her boyfriend's back before looking to Nicole. "Well you're right though, it's not glowing now," she gave a sigh. "Maybe it just wasn't meant to be. Wanna just go ahead and play Seven Minutes?"

Nicole cheered. "I'm down with that! It'd be messed up anyway if ya'll went through and I didn't go with you, I'd be so lonely..."

Everybody sweatdropped at her, then shook off their uneasy feelings and sat in a circle. Nicole put the bottle in the center. "I'm first!" She spun the empty coke bottle and they all watched in anticipation to see whom it would land on.

It spun...

And spun...

And spun...

Until it landed on...

... Brian.

Hayarpi's eyes widened. "Oh my gosh..."

Brian's eyes widened too. "Oh my gosh..."

Nicole beamed and bolted up, grabbing Brian's wrist on the way and chucking her stopwatch at Ines. "Ines dear, keep count for seven minutes! C'mon, Bwian!" Nicole laughed evilly as she dragged the poor boy towards the closet.

"Wait!" Brian called. Nicole stopped dragging. He looked to Gilbert, Hayarpi and Ines, then back to the closet, remembering how it was freaking glowing just a few minutes ago...

Then they all exchanged looks as they got an idea. Nicole looked confused.

"Nevermind!" Brian sweatdropped, this time being the one to drag Nicole inside. Ines leaned against the door, starting the time.

–
–

Brian huddled in a corner of the closet, pulling his knees up to his chest and hugging them protectively. Nicole eyed him and raised an eyebrow, leaning against the opposite wall and fingering the soft fabric of Link's strange hat. They weren't in complete darkness though since Nicole's closet had a very small high window.

"So... hi." she said as she glanced at Brian.

"Hi." Brian replied softly.

"Dude! Why are you acting all afraid and stuff?" Nicole grumbled, putting the hat on her head.

"You look really weird in that cap. And I'm not "acting all afraid," okay!" He looked around, remembering the glowing from earlier... Brian hoped the other three were near the closet just in case something happened. Because dengit, what happened was not a freaking hallucination!

Nicole started humming a song and swaying around. Brian's eye twitched at her. She sweatdropped. "What?!"

"I just realized. I'm stuck in a room. A small room. With you."

"Haha, you're so mean to me. But I know it's only cuz you caaare!"

"Tch."

Nicole sighed. "Look, man. Sorry for the Teletubbies-Marathon you had to watch a long time ago. I was young and dumb."

Brian sighed and smacked the back of his head against the wall rather hard. "It's okay."

"Forgive me?"

"Yeah, sure."

–
–

Hayarpi gasped as she slammed her ear against the door. "I heard a thump! I heard a thump! What are they doing in there?!"

Ines rolled her eyes and pushed her aside. "Jeez, calm down Hayarpi!"

"They're probably making out now," Gilbert said, a stupid grin on his features.

Ines gave him a startled look while Hayarpi burst out sobbing.

"NOOOOO!"

–

` 4 ½ minutes later `

–

"Ooooh! Hey lookie! I found an old dress I used to wear when I was eight!" Nicole squealed as she took a small dress from the rack and held it against the moonlight. "Aww, I always loved this dress!"

"I thought you hated dresses," Brian asked, an eyebrow raised.

"What? Who said? That was two years ago," she grinned. Nicole put the dress on the rack and continued rummaging through her stuff. Brian was now in a more relaxed position, slouching against the wall with arms crossed. It had been four minutes and nothing suspicious was happening...

But then the sound of Nicole's voice caught his attention. "Hey, what's this? This wasn't here before..."

Brian sat up. "What's what?"

"C'mere, look at this!"

"It better not be a cobweb or anything..."

Nicole sweatdropped as Brian went towards her. She gestured at the wall opposite the door, taking Brian's hand and placing it on a certain area of the wall. The boy's eyebrows furrowed as he felt what seemed to be engraved lines. Then he jumped a bit when the section budged in the slightest. "Whoa, it's like a door... you sure it wasn't here before?"

"Yeah man, I know my own closet! Let's try to open it!"

"Okay, on three. One, two, three!" Nicole and Brian grunted as they pushed the wall. The outline gave and a small door opened, blinding white light peeking through.

"Argh, it's bright!" Brian cried, shielding his eyes which had already adjusted to the closet's moonlight.

Nicole did the same. "What the heck is this doing in my closet of all places? It's like a portal!" Something clicked in her mind. "Wait, a portal! Brian! It's a portal!" Nicole yelled, taking Brian's shoulders and shaking him.

"STOP THE SHAKING!" Nicole stopped. Brian twitched. "Thank you. And SEE! I TOLD YOU! When the N64 and TV were glowing it spread to the wall, then to the closet, so the portal probably transferred itself here!"

The Asian girl put a hand to her chin. "Oaaaah... fascinating!"

"C'mon, let's tell the others!" Brian went to the closet door and yelled. "Hey, fools! Open the door, we found something!"

–
–

"Has it been seven minutes yet?"

"Nope."

"..."

"..."

"How about now?"

"No."

"... Now?"

"Hayarpi, will you shut up?!" Ines yelled.

"... How 'bout now?"

Gilbert and Ines sweatdropped. Suddenly, Brian's voice could be heard from the other side of the door.

"WE FOUND SOMETHING!"

Ines, Gilbert and Hayarpi's eyes widened, looking to each other. As much as they wanted to open the door, there was only a minute left 'til the full seven minutes were up. So they shrugged and just decided to be difficult.

"In a closet, huh?" Ines called back. "Sure man, I totally believe you!"

From the other side Brian's eye twitched. "What the heck?! BUT THE GLOWING FROM EARLIER!"

Gilbert shrugged. "Chill, man! You can wait sixty more seconds."

"Why you...!"

–

` A minute later `

–

"Thy seven minutes hasseth passeth-ed!" Ines yelled in her really bad attempt at speaking Old English, excited as she slammed open the closet door. There was Brian sitting in the corner of the small room and Nicole leaning against the wall beside him.

"About time," Brian grumbled.

"YOU GUYS DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, DID YOU!? DID YOU?!" Hayarpi screamed, taking Brian by the shoulders and shaking him.

"TWICE A NIGHT IS ENOUGH!" Brian yelled. Hayarpi stopped. "Thank you, hunny. No, we did not do anything."

"Good. And did you just call me 'hunny'?"

"No."

"..."

"Aaaaanyway!" sing-songed Nicole, turning to the wall and pushing the outline again.

Since they opened it earlier, it was much easier to reopen it again. Out of the small door came pouring out large amounts of light. Everybody shielded their eyes.

"A portal! Guess you guys weren't hallucinating after all! Look!" Nicole stuck her hand in the door of light and her arm disappeared. Then she took it out again. Then she stuck it in again. And out. And in. And out.

While she was doing that, Brian turned to the other three. "Like I explained to her earlier, when the glowing spread to the closet, the portal probably transferred here."

"Oaaaahhh..." the other three nodded, putting a hand to their chins. "Fascinating!"

Then Nicole raised her fist triumphantly. "So yeah, you guys, another portal! If it really was the N64 freaking out earlier, then this would definitely lead us to Link! He needs our help again!" She burst out sobbing. "AND I REALLY MISS LINK! SO WE HAVE TO GO AND SEE HIM, OKAY?! (sniff)"

The other four sweatdropped at her. "Aw, we missed Link too," Gilbert laughed, patting her head.

Hayarpi looked at the TV screen, everyone else following her glance. "The world of Majora's Mask, huh?" she grinned at everyone. "I'm ready if you guys are!"

Ines nodded, excited. "Yeah, bring it on!" Brian and Gilbert nodded to the girls as well, exchanging grins.

The five turned towards the portal, taking a deep breath. As if responding to them the portal grew larger, about the size of a regular doorway.

They linked hands and grinned at each other.

And together they stepped through.

The light enveloped the five teens before fading away, the only traces of the entrance being the soft, engraved lines on the wall.
