A/N:Please excuse my huge Big Bang Theory reference and the repitition. Also, trigger warning. I don't wanna spoil it, so I'll just write "trigger warning" when it gets closer to the trigger and write "end of trigger" when it is over. Thank you for your understanding.

One day Danny and I woke up and Barry was nowhere to be found; I grew worried since practically anything could happen in this game, a lesson I had learned multiplr times thus far.

"We have to find him." I stated.

"Of course; he's our friend. Besides, he puts up with a lot of s*** between editing and being on parts of the Grump channel." Danny agreed.

We went looking for Barry,searching through all of Zora's Domain. Since we came up empty handed, we decided to talk to King Zora, except now it was Queen Zora, then I realized what was going on.

"I got it! We have to save Barry. He's inside Lord JabuJabu's belly and that's how we get the last Spiritual Stone." I told Danny.

"Okay. Let's do it." Danny replied. I figured he had questions he was leaving unasked. Danny had learned not to question things right now since questioning things made it more complicated.

I guided Danny through everything that led up to entering JabuJabu's Belly. I wasn't particularly excited about going in though.

"I always thought that this part was gross. Experiencing it makes it so much worse." I stated, feeling slightly queezy.

"I bet. It's kinda like being in a-" Danny started before getting interrupted by an Octorock; thankfully, orI'd have to censor things even more, but I knew what he was going to say.

"Really? Okay, equip your first sheild." I instructed.

From that Danny figured out what to do. We went through the dungeon and eventually found Barry.

"Barry, bro, why didn't you tell us you were the Zora Prince?" Danny asked.

"I actually didn't know." Barry answered, seeming confused.

"You're supposed to demand to come along until you find what you're looking for." I whispered to Barry as Danny looked around.

"Uh, I order you to take me with you?" Barry said, quite unsure. I facepalmed.

"Close enough." I sighed.

"Alright. Just keep up." Danny replied to Barry. I guided Danny everything as Barry followed.

"The upcoming sub-boss is easy. Hit him with your boomerang and slice his green orb thing while he's stunned." I instructed as we entered the room.

"My stone; there it is. For some reason I was upset when JabuJabu swallowed it, to the point of neglecting my own safety to go and get it, which caused me to need to be saved even though I won't admit it." Barry stated what we all thought at that point. He went to get the stone since he knew he was supposed to.

"Careful." I warned pointlessly.

"That's a big a** octopuss! I mean 'Keyah!! An octopus!'" Barry said, remembering what Ruto said. I facepalmed again.

Danny fought the octopus. Then we looked for Barry on the new upper level before getting to Barinade.

-Trigger Warning Begins Here-

"Wait until he stops spinning around with the jellyfish of death. When he releases them, kill the jellyfish while avoiding getting shocked. Then kill him while avoiding getting shocked." I instructed.

"Got it." Danny replied.

He tried to kill the jellyfish and not get shocked but the double focus was difficult. I had always had difficulty defeating barinade on my playthroughs. Anytime Danny got hurt I cringed, which is a step up from Zelda's distracting squeals when you fight Ganon. Eventually I heard the familiar, annoying, and now terrifying beeps of extremely low life.

"Be careful." I squeaked nervously.

"What do you think I'm doing?!" Danny called back as he dodged a shock of electricity before killing jellyfish.

Eventually he got shocked again and fell to the ground with a somber and telling thud.

"Danny! No!" I yelled as I rushed to his limp form, tears welling in my eyes. Because of the tears I didn't see the fairy he had healing him. Once he was healed he hugged me and assured me he was alright before continuing to fight until Barinade was defeated. He grabbed the heart container and then saw that I was shaking. He knelt down beside me.

"You alright?" he asked; I hugged him tightly and buried my head in his shoulder.

"For a minute there I thought I lost my best friend." I answered, muffled by his shoulder.

"It's okay. I'm okay. Easy." he assured me as he hugged me and pet my hair. I felt my cheeks burn slightly as I slowly started to calm down, though my shaking refused to stop. In an effort to calm me down Danny sang The Last Unicorn, one of my favorite songs, which is a song based off of one of his favorite books. It was one of my favorites because of its soothing qualities and how great Danny sounded when he sang it. My shaking slowly subsided and I calmed down.

"I'm okay now; thanks Danny. You're awesome." I stated.

"Alright. Let's go get the stone from Barry." Barry said. I nodded.

"C-could we maybe take a few days off of questing? I just want to make sure you're alright." I said kind of sheepishly.

"Sure." Dan replied, sensing how important it was to me.

-End of Trigger Warning-

We got the stone from Barry and rested a few days.

On our last day of resting Danny decided to wander Zora's Domain, which left Barry and me alone. We sat in a comfortable silence for a moment or two.

"You like Danny don't you?" Barry asked to break the since.

"He's my best friend." I responded.

"Not what I meant." Barry informed me.

"I know what you meant. I'm just avoiding answering, which probably gives you your answer." I said matter-of-factly.

"It told me what I wanted to know." Barry replied.

"You are such a pizza s***." I said playfully, using the somewhat old joke.

"So are you." Barry replied jokingly, lacking an adequate comeback.

"Great comeback." I sarcastically replied.

"Whatever. You should tell Dan that you like him. You never know what this game could throw at you." Barry told me, changing the subject.

"But..." I trailed off.

"But what?" Barry inquiered.

"Well...his friendship means a lot to me so I don't wanna ruin it, we work together a lot between Ninja Sex Party and Game Grumps so I don't want things getting awkward, and I'm also worried about what fans would think; I mean we could lose subscribers." I rambled.

"Don't let other people dictate what makes you happy. A lot of fans would love it if you and Danny became a thing. Besides, how will you ever know if you don't try?" Barry said. I thought for a moment.

"I think I'm fine not knowing." I stated.

"Really?" Barry asked.

"No. And since when do you care about my love life?" I replied.

"Since it potentially involved Danny, I'm his wingman." Barry told me. I rolled my eyes.

I was going to respond but Danny returned,

"I'm back." he stated the obvious.

I went for a walk to clear my mind. After a little while I went back. I heard Danny and Barry talking and felt curiosity consume me. Despite knowing it was wrong, I listened in.

"You like Rachel?" Barry asked Danny.

"She's one of my best friends." Danny responded.

"Dude, you know what I meant." Barry ireplied.

""Alright. Yeah, I do." Danny admitted. My heart skipped a beat and my cheeks burned. I smiled.

"Tell her. Rach told me you almost died. Anything can happen" Barry told Danny, mainly using the arguments he used on me.

"But we're friends, we spend tons of time together between NSParty and Game Grumps so I don't want things getting awkward, and I'm also worried about what fans would think; I mean we could lose subscribers." Danny responded, using the same arguments I did.

"Shrodinger's cat." Barry simply stated.

"What?" Danny asked, confused.

"A scientist, Erwin Shrodinger, put a cat in a box with a vial of poison that would randomly open and kill the cat. Until the box was opened, the cat could be thought of as both alive and dead and the cat was examined. Metaphorically, your relationship with Rachel is the cat. It's both successful and unsuccessful until you try and find out which it is." Barry explained.

"You watch way too much Big Bang Theory." Danny replied.

"Maybe. And don't change the subject. Anyway, something tells me Rachel likes you too." Barry said. I was so going to get him back for that, but I wouldn't use editing in case Kevin ended up editing the episodes. I briefly wondered where Kevin was before Danny speaking snapped me out of my thoughts,

"Maybe when we get home..." Danny trailed off. I felt bad for eavesdropping. I walked over.

"Back." I pointed out.

The conversation turned to what we'd do when, we avoided saying "if", we got home and a certain subject was avoided.

Once that was done, we made a plan to side quest before furthering plot development. The journey seemed daunting and endless at this point.
