"Time to wake up! Hey, Link, you have to get up! Come on, you were summoned and you need to get up!"

I groan and push myself to my side. Who the heck needs to talk to me so badly? I swear I might just have to destroy what ever destroyed my sleep.

"Hey! Hey, listen! HEY! GET UP LINK!"

I try to ignore it.

"HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!"

I really try. But that annoying female voice is just so... annoying that I eventually scream out, "WHAT?!"

I sit up on my cot and look around my tent to see that a smart phone is on the table next to me and is lit up, the screen showing a picture of a microphone. And it's vibrating a lot.

"Oh thank goddesses you're awake! I was going to have to smack you if you weren't going to get up the next few seconds," says the phone.

I look around the tent in confusion and bewilderment. Wait, what? I don't have a phone... Let alone one so nice. And how did it get in here? And why is it talking to me? Uhhh...?

"Well, did you hear me? You were summoned to we have to get going!" says the low droning and almost robotic voice of the phone.

"Uh, no offense, little talking phone, but... who the heck are you?" I ask it, still confused.

"Oh!" it says in surprise but with it's monotone voice, it's hard to believe it's surprised. "Why, I'm your guardian smart phone, Siri! I was sent by the Great Redwood Tree to come and forever be your smart phone and help you whenever you need it!"

A guardian phone? Did I just hear it right? As in... a guardian smart phone? Hoo, boy have I wanted one of these forever. All the other kids have them and for some reason I was just never given one. The other kids tease me and call me names and say I'm "not one of them" just because I don't have one. It's really depressing.

But this little phone called Siri just told me she's going to be my guardian phone! I can't believe it...!

"Wait, so you're mine now?" I ask it, some of my excitement bubbling over staring at it's shiny screen and beautiful white back.

"Yeah, didn't you just hear me? I'm your smart phone! And did you hear me when I said you have been summoned by the oh-so Great Redwood Tree? You need to come right now!"

"The Great Redwood Tree," I mutter sleepily, throwing my feet over the bed. "What does he need with little old me?"

"He didn't really say. You know, he speaks like Shakespeare so I don't really know much of what he says. It's so annoying," admits Siri.

I laugh. I like this Siri chick already.

"Yeah, I know. I've spoken to him a lot, but I don't really know what he means most of the time," I say.

Yeah, a tree is my only friend. Don't laugh. I don't have many friends because like I said, all the other kids make fun of me. So I spend most of my time with the talking tree. He nice and all but yes, he does speak in very old English. It's kind of very, very... blehhhh.

"Okay, well if I have to meet him, I need to get dressed," I tell Siri.

Nothing really happens.

I clear my throat. "So, um, can you like, turn yourself off or something?"

"Oh! Yeah, sure, okay." Then her screen darkens and a bleep sounds. Was it just me... or did I hear regret in her voice...? What the heck?!

Shrugging off any suspicion I have, I stand up and pull off my night shirt. I throw it in a heap in the corner and walk to my suitcase, pulling out the only thing I really wear: a green tee shirt and a pair of green gym shorts. I turn around to make sure Siri hasn't turned back on and pull down my bottoms and dress in my clothes.

I look back to Siri who immediately turns on right after my shorts are around my waist.

"Hey!" I exclaim. "How'd you know to turn on right then?!"

"Oh, my handy motion sensor. I could tell you had your clothes on," she drones.

I turn red. "That still counts as looking!"

"Whatever, Link. Man up. Ready to meet the tree?"

"Yeah," I grumble. "Hold on a second." I shove my feet into some brown tennis shoes and grab a green baseball cap and push it over my messy blonde hair. "Okay, let's go." I grab Siri and head out.

Outside my tent, I look around at the Cokeyri campsite that I spend all my time with. Basically, it's a boy and girl camp group for ten year olds like myself and we camp everyday in the Redwood Forest in California. I'm raised by the talking Redwood Tree here with my fellow Cokeyri campers. It's weird, but it's home.

I stretch myself and smile up at the sun shining down through the trees when a blur of neon green flashes in the corner of my eye. I turn just in time to be assailed with that same blur of green as it throws itself on me in a hug.

"Link!" it squeals and I identify it as my friend Saria. I know I said I have no friends but yeah, there's Saria who is the ONLY nice Cokeyri there is. Really.

I'm startled that she's hugging me so I just sort of stand there awkwardly as she presses her face into my chest. When she pulls away she looks up at me with her blue eyes, a smile splashed on her face. She looks down at my hand holding Siri and she gasps.

"Whoa! You got your own smart phone?" she asks.

"Yeah!" I show her Siri. "You jealous?"

She smirks at me and takes Siri in her own hand, examining her in further detail. "Wow, it sure is nice." She pulls out her own which has a pink bedazzled case cover and instantly Siri and it start talking and laughing together.

Saria looks up at me and gives me a shy grin. "Well, I'm happy for you Link. You're finally a Cokeyri like the rest of us!"

"Oh yeah. And Mido better not give me any more crud because now I have one too," I say.

"Oh, forget about Mido. He's just immature. So I heard the Great Redwood Tree summoned you?" she questions.

"I guess so. I was on my way now."

"Well then I don't mean to keep you!" She pulls her own phone away and puts it in her pocket of her green romper. "See you later, Link!" She gives a cheerful smile before turning and running off the way she came.

I watch her as she goes. "I see how you're looking at her," comments Siri out of nowhere.

"Shut up. She's my friend. And you're getting put away." I take her and shove her into my pocket even against her monotone protests.

"Okay. Tree Time."
