Warnings: A touch of swearing

Other Notes: I haven't written anything for these dorks in forever so I kinda got carried away writing. I also loved re-imagining Robbie and Purah's outfits for this oneshot!

"Purah! Take a look at this!" Zelda excitedly shoved a large card in her friend's face. "Read this!"

"Woah! Calm down there, Zel," Purah took the card, holding it up as she read it. "Ooh, a science competition?"

Zelda nodded excitedly, golden hair bouncing. "Yes! And get this: whoever wins gets to join a nation-wide competition. And whoever wins that gets a guaranteed interview to potentially work at the Royal Tech Lab!"

The girls squealed in unison, Purah flashing her classic hand gesture. "Check it! We are so entering!" She paused as Zelda's face fell. "We are entering, right?"

"Father won't let me. But don't let that stop you! I want you to enter."

"But Zel--"

"Purah, enter for me."

Purah sighed. Hylia curse Zelda's father, never letting her do anything fun. "I won't just enter for you. I'll win for you."

This sparked a smile. "Thank you, Purah. I know you'll come up with something amazing!"

Purah smiled back before glancing at the card, expression falling. "Uhm, Zel? This says I need a partner to work with. I don't know anyone who'd be willing to do this with me...or put up with me for that matter."

At this Zelda's face lit up again. "I already thought of that and I have that covered! You know that History of War class Father forces me to take?"

"Yeah. What about it?"

"Well I met this brilliant guy there. He's really smart and I just know you two will get along great!" Zelda reached for her pocket, quietly cursing. "I left my phone back in my bedroom. Okay, look, I'll go find him right now and call you with all the details tonight."

Before Purah could even get a word out, Zelda was taking off down the hall. The Sheikah blinked a few times before yelling, "Okay!"

Zelda waved in acknowledgement before disappearing around a corner.

Robbie sat in the weapons lab, working on a knife. Carefully grasping the handle, he flicked his wrist with breath held. When a blue blade about three inches long appeared, he let out an excited chuckle, flicking his wrist again and watching it disappear.

He was the only one out of all the weapons professor's students who had unlimited access to the lab and materials. After weeks of working after classes, he had finally finished his grand project.

An Ancient Knife. 

With a satisfied grin he flicked the blade out again and turned off the table lamp, watching the soft blue glow of the blade. He couldn't wait to show this to the professor on Monday.

The door to the lab swung open and slammed against the wall, making him startle enough to drop the knife on the desk, blade retracting. A familiar blond-haired woman stood in the doorway and he let out a stressed noise. "Good Hylia, Zelda! I could have cut my finger off!"
