Pipit + Link Chapter 1

This is based in a skyloft where the academy is larger, holding about 30 students per class. The classes are freshman, sophomore, Junior, Seiner, and Jr. Knight. There are many cities in the sky, and the city of Skyloft is mostly just the academy.

Link stifles a yawn as he tumbles out of bed. He slowly makes his way to his wardrobe, where he grabs a green tunic. He turns to leave to get breakfast, and as he reaches the door, a loud knock startles him. Link is preparing to tell the person knocking off, thinking that it was a freshman looking for their room, and opens the door. To his surprise, it is a mass of yellow cloths and brown hair, who grabs him by the wrist and drags him outside.

"You're going to be late!" Pipit practically yelled.

"For what?!" Link asked.

Pipit stopped dead and turned around to look link in the eye.

"For the race…or did you forget?"

"Um, I know that it is tonight, and I was going to go get some breakfast, but-"

"No buts! You have not practiced at all! You are going to let Groose win, and then you'll be stuck a sophomore for another year! You need to go out there and practice!"

Link is surprised at the force behind Pipit's words, and takes off running down the diving platform. As he reached the end and jumped, he whistled and his red bird came streaking out of seemingly nowhere to catch him. He landed on the bird as gracefully as possible, then took off towards the nearest island. Frustrated, Pipit jumped and followed him on his own bird, dead set to teach link a lesson.

Link was floating along in the sky, gliding lazily, basking in the warmth of the sun. He was completely oblivious to the blue bird approaching him quickly from behind. As he started to turn to his right, he felt his hat being snatched of his head. With a startled yell, he almost fell off his loftwing in surprise. When he regained his balance, he looked up to see Pipit and his bird making a mad dash of into the distance, towards skyloft. He flowed, formulating a plot to get his hat back.

Pipit was trying hard not to laugh, as Link's face was priceless when he snatched away his hat. As he soared towards Skyloft, he made sure to keep a good distance away from Link. As he started to fly over the island, he looked back, and did not see Link anywhere. He caught a blur of motion out of the corner of his eye, and looked up right as Link talked him from above, abandoning his bird. Link caught Pipit and pulled him from his bird, forcing both of them into the Lake. With two huge splashes, the boys entered the lake, scaring a nearby remlit, soaking it, and making it run away after a mean hiss. Pipit swam to the shore, only to get tackled by Link, bringing them both to the ground with thud. Link wrestled his hat away from Pipit, who was at this point laughing uncontrollably. Link gave him a friendly scowl, before joining in on the laughing. He helped Pipit up, who was still shaking slightly form the event.

"You should have seen your face! It was priceless!" Pipit chocked out, still laughing.

"What did you expect, you scared me silly, I nearly fell off my bird!" Link growled.

"Nothing like a little chase to start the day off right. Let's go get some lunch!" Pipit exclaimed merrily.

Link and Pipit walked off towards the academy, joking as they walked. When they grew nearer, the heard some people talking in the alleyway behind the sparing hall. They took interest in this, and poked their heads around the corner. They saw a small boy, maybe the age of 16, being cornered by three much larger boys. The first of the three took a swing at the kid, and before Link or Pipit could react, the boy had grabbed his assailant, threw him at the second boy, and turned to the third, who went pale and ran away, into Pipit. Pipit grabbed him, and picked him up, making them have eye-contact. The boy visible paled.

"How about we don't go messing with other people from now on, OK?" Pipit asked sarcastically.

"O-Ok" the boy sputtered out.

Pipit dropped him, and he ran like a bat out of hell. He and Link turned to the first boy, whose head was hung, facing the ground.

I am going to be kicked out aren't I?" The boy meekly asked.

"I don't see why" Pipit calmly said "You acted in self-defense, in full view of two witnesses. You'll be fine. Besides, I doubt they are going to even raise a peep about what happened here. What is your name?"

The boy looked up and smiled, before responding.

"I am Joshua! I just got accepted into the academy this year!"

"Well, Joshua, why don't you come to lunch with us? I'll buy, and all you have to do in return, is teach me how to do some of those tricks." Link said, clearly impressed with the boys tallents.

Tell me what you think. First story I have ever written, FanFic or not. I know I am not a great writer, but I hope to improve. I'll take any reviews, good or bad, seriously. All I ask is that you not be disrespectful, as I won't pay attention to any comments that are. Chapter 2 will be on the way, hopefully in a week. If you have any questions, feel free to msg me, I will try to respond in a few days.
