AN; Why hello there people. I have decided to do a pre Skyward Sword story, or Zelda and Link growing up. Gosh, I can't think of words today.
Anyways, the events won't usually be tied together, for example, Link get's his loftwing in one chapter, and he is getting a job the next. Well I'm confusing myself. I can't remember what's it's called. Oh well. This is not an AU. Story will be updated weekly, to keep me from being a lazy bum. (So, close to a thousand words. Oh well, I tried. Wait I think I can do this. Just ignore this part.)

Enjoy :). ~ DP289

Zelda couldn't stand it anymore, from the moment Link came to her room teary eyed, she knew something was up. However, the small boy was keeping his lips tight, and not telling her what was wrong.

She spent over an hour trying to comfort her best friend, but to no avail. "Link, can you please tell me what's wrong? Was it Groose? Was he bullying you again?" Zelda asked.

Link shook his head 'no'. "It wasn't Groose," he mumbled silently.

"Link!" Zelda whined, she poked the small child in the back. "Tell me, what's wrong?" she asked, her voice was calm. Link couldn't bear looking into her eyes. They were full of concern, it made him want to break down and cry.

"No-Nothing, it's nothing," he said, gulping back a sob. He couldn't believe it happened, not to him, why him? Zelda gently patted the 10 year old's back.

"It's okay," she soothed, "Do you want me to get your Mom or Dad?" she asked, softly.

That was it for Link. Tears streamed down the young boys face, "Yo- You can't!" Link pleaded. "You just can't," he insisted.

Zelda hugged the little boy, "I'm going to go get them, Okay, you stay right here," She stood up and went for the door.

"Zelda! No my parent's are-" That's all the blonde 11 year old heard as she shut the door. Why didn't Link want his parents? He always turns to them, when he's in trouble. Something must be very wrong.

Zelda left the Academy and headed for Link's home. The wind blew the girls hair around and the clouds were covering the sun, she couldn't help but look up and admire the sun's disappearance. In Skyloft, cloudy days were very rare, usually once every 8 years. Rain on the other hand, was only sighted once, and that was a century ago.

Taking her attention away from the rare sight. The 11 year old girl continued on to her Best Friend's house. She knocked on the familiar yellow door 3 times. She waited a couple of minutes, no answer. She knocked again, still no answer. Finally Zelda gave up and opened the door.

The house was dark, dusty, and had a depressing feeling to it. No one was in the home but the girl. She looked around, "Hello?" she called. Nothing but the sound of her own echo. Shrugging it off, the girl exited the house and went to find her father. 'He should know where the Nohanson's are.' the child thought.

Opening the door to his office, Zelda immediately felt the same depressing aura. "Father?" Zelda asked, her Dad was standing, looking out the window as if he was deep in thought.

"Hello Zelda," he said not turning around. "What is it you need?"

Zelda didn't feel comfortable in the room, the atmosphere was too depressing. "By any chance do you know where the Nohanson's are?" Zelda asked.

Her father turned around, his eyes were weary, and a bit red and puffy. "My dear child, sit down, we have something to discuss." he said. Zelda's heart sank, this couldn't be good. She did as her father instructed and sat down. "Good, now. My dear friends, the Nohanson's, are no longer with us, they are now in the loving arms of the Goddess,"

"What happened?!" Zelda yelled, tears streaming down her face, she couldn't believe it. They were dead! No!

"Calm down. It pains me as well. They went out for a flight, Mr. Nohanson's bird did not come. He plummeted to the cloud barrier. His wife tried to rescue her husband, but her Loftwing was not strong enough. They plummeted to their death. An hour after their accident, we found his Loftwing had passed away from a strange disease." he said.

Zelda jumped up, "No! They can't be dead! What about Link!? The goddess is cruel for doing this to him! It's not fair!" She yelled, "What about Link?" she repeated, "He can't live on his own, he's barely 11." she continued.

Her father placed a hand on the girls shoulder, "He will become a student at this academy. Like you, he will be in good hands."

The girl nodded, she still couldn't believe Link's parents were gone, they were like her own. A mix of emotions were raging inside her small body; fear, anger, confusion, sadness She couldn't handle it. She burst out of the room in tears and straight for hers where she left Link.

The boy was still sitting on her bed, crying. She ran over and gave him a long hug. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," she sobbed. The boy hugged her back.

"It's o k, I'm fine now," he said softly. But deep inside, Zelda knew he wasn't o k, "I hate the goddess for doing this though," he added.

For a strange reason, anger swelled inside the girl as he said that, but she quickly dowsed it. For her friend needed comfort, not hatred. "Me too,"
