So I posted this chapter a while ago and didn't really look over it before I posted it. I looked over it and had to edit some things and I did change a few things. Sorry. Here is the revised version. Let me know what ya think or if there might be errors. Thanks and enjoy!

Wake Up Call

Knock Knock Knock "Link are you still sleeping? It's almost noon. Get up and get going man!"

Aki slowly sat up in the bed and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes with her too long sleeve. Her short brown hair stuck out in all directions. Mid-rub she froze. She had no idea where she was. How the heck did I get here? The confused girl frantically tried to think back to the day before. What had she been doing the day before? She looked around the room. There was a small square window to her left, across from her was a desk and then from the right on was a bookshelf, a closet and finally the door. A note lay on a table near the end of the bed. Aki crawled over and snatched it up.

The handwriting on the note was a bit difficult to read. After reading the small passage several times, Aki finally got the gist of what it was telling her. She was to take the place of a boy while he was off searching for someone named Zelda. Under no circumstances was she to tell anyone that he had left or that she had taken his place. The name 'Link' was signed at the bottom of the page.

"Link?" Aki searched her brain for a matching result. "Ooh, I remember." She sat back on her feet and ran her fingers through her hair. "I thought it had all been a dream." The young woman folded the note and looked for a place to hide it. She walked over to the closet and swung open the doors. Clothes and knick knacks filled the closet. Pushing the trinkets aside, she placed the note at the bottom and then neatly covered it. Satisfied with her hiding spot, she closed the closet doors and pulled out the bottom drawer. Inside were two sets of green tunics. Aki carefully pulled one of them out and held it in front of her. She had never seen nicer clothes.

Holding the tunic warily, she laid it out on the bed and then returned to the closet and gathered leggings, an undershirt, a hat and a belt. Aki slipped off her overly sized nightgown and as tenderly as she could, put on the new clothing.

When it came time to put on the hat, the girl hesitated. She had never seen a hat like this before. It was so long and pointed at the end. Aki held the hat by the brim upside down. Slowly she slid the hat on. Funny enough she kind of liked it. It almost felt like she had long hair again, well at least long enough to come down to her shoulders.

Content, Aki marched over to the door, grabbed the handle and took a deep breath. She swung it open and took one step out before realizing someone was standing outside her door.

"Uf!" Aki walked straight into the back of a stranger. The figure turned around. He was at least a foot talker then Aki, had on a yellow tunic, his face was dotted with freckles and he had blue eyes.

"About time you got up." The boy folded his arms, a small smile on his lips.

"I-I" Aki coughed and tried to make her voice a little lower.

"Sorry, sir." Aki tried to look up to the boy's face but upon seeing his eyes looking down on her, her own fell to looking at his tunic.

"Sir? Do I look old to you?" The boy chuckled. The nervous girl shook her head quickly.

"Link, are you okay?" The boy's voice held a bit of concern. "You're usually not like this."

"Huh, oh yes, I'm just uh a little jumbled today-" Aki scratched behind her head.

He slapped his hand against his forehead. "Of course, with everything that happened yesterday. You almost lost your Loftwing, finally became a Knight, Zelda, disappears. Well not to fear, Pipit here will have you back on to your feet in no time." The boy gave her a friendly smack on the back. Being completely caught unaware, Aki stumbled and in the end tripped over her own feet. The ground quickly greeted her.

"Whoa, hey are you okay?" Pipit stuck his hand toward the blue eyed girl. She hesitated for a moment and then grasped his hand. A look of shock passed over the freckled boy's face but quickly disappeared with a slight shrug. Both had not anticipated the quick lift off and consequently ended up Aki's head colliding with Pipit's chin. The brunette quickly stepped away rubbing her head.

"I'm so sor-"Aki began

"Whoa, either you lost some weight or I got stronger." Pipit rubbed his chin smiling, hoping greatly it was the latter.

"It must be you getting stronger since I-I know I haven't changed anything about me." Aki quickly said wanting to avoid any talk of herself.

"Finally it's paying off!" Pipit fist pumped. Aki sighed with relief as he grinned from ear to ear not suspecting anything.

"Well I'm uh going to uh" Aki backed away

"Go where exactly?" Pipit caught Aki's sleeve and pulled her back.

"Instructor Owlan wanted to see both of us as soon as you were awake." He explained letting go of her sleeve.

"O-oh did he?"

"Let's go sleeping beauty, he's in his office waiting for us." Pipit pushed Aki forward up the stairs.

"O-okay."

"You're kidding right? You really want us to be partners?" Pipit said in disbelief.

"Yes I do Pipit. You and Karane are our senior members and since Link's a boy and you're a boy, it seemed best to put you two together. Just until he understands and knows what a senior member does." Instructor Owlan explained. Pipit sighed.

"Alright. I'll watch over and help the kid out."

"Thank you so much for being so willing to help." Instructor Owlan said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Link," Aki straightened up as the instructor addressed her. "You will listen and do as Pipit says until we find that you are ready to be on your own." She nodded.

"I understand sir."

"Good, you are both excused."

Pipit and Aki bowed and headed out of the room. The brunette let out a sigh of relief. She was sure she would have been found out. Glancing up at Pipit, she was startled to see what looked like almost a glare. The expression passed quickly.

"Uh sorry Pip-"

"No it's fine. I acted childish. I am a senior member and as such I should look after the younger members." Pipit smiled. "Alright well today's schedule consists of helping out the community and keeping watch for any crime. Not that much crime happens around here."

"That sounds easy." Aki smiled.

"You say that now. Come on kid lets go."
