Author's Note: Here's to hoping you all enjoy this quirky, funny and mostly romantic story of two cute characters. In this story, I imagined they two to be a little older. It just seemed weird to have them find love at such an early age ... Anyways,

~ENJOY!~

"Son, this is a proud moment for the Rito tribe."

His father stood over him with a large smile glued to his beaked face. The chief set his feathered hand on Komali's shoulder and looked him straight in the eyes. Komali never noticed his father had yellow eyes- so unlike his own ruby coloured ones.

"It is time for you, as a young prince, to earn your wings from the Great Valoo." Even after his father's hand left his shoulder, Komali still felt the weight of it, a heavy reminder of the pressure that had been placed on him.

All Komali could do was nod. He would not let his uncertainty show in front of his father. It would only bring disgrace upon him and his tribe- The one he would someday have to be in charge of.

The current Chieftain of the Rito tribe waltzed around the small room waving his arms extravagantly speaking of the "privilege" and "great honour bestowed upon him" and so on and so forth. It looked like some kind of poorly choreographed dance to Komali.

Komali rolled his eyes (with no notice from his father) as he continued to tell of the ceremony that would take place at the time of receiving his wings; a speech the young boy had heard multiple times, almost to the point of memorization.

"LIIINK!"

The Prince was jolted out of his memory by the sound of his bedroom door being flung open.

His head snapped up to the blonde head that had found its way into his room. The body that this pig-tailed head belonged to remained hidden behind the door.

The girl surveyed the room, and upon seeing the boy sitting cross-legged on his bed, her eyes widened. She blushed as she attempted to duck out of the room.

"Sorry. Sorry. I was just looking for someone. I didn't know ... Sorry. ... uh ... sorry!"

"Wait!" Komai stopped the girl from leaving just in time.

She paused and popped her head back into the room, this time hesitantly meeting his eyes.

"Did you say you were looking for Link?"

The girl only nodded, and took another futile attempt at escape.

"Won't you come in? Please?" Komali was interested in this girl's relationship with Link. Link was the acclaimed "hero" of the Ritos. He had gone on a quest to calm the Great Valoo, who was currently in an uproar. It would do Komali good to hear what this "hero" was all about, after all, his soon-to-be tribe was in this guy's hands.

After a moment of "hmms" and "haws", the girl finally stepped carefully into his room and closed the door slowly with a quiet click.

"Come, sit." Komali invited the girl to have a seat on his bed with a pat. She made her way across the short span of space, past colourful traditional tapestries that adorned the Prince's room.

Her steps were careful. He could tell she wasn't comfortable with his presence. But she eventually lowered herself onto the very far edge of the bed. Komali knew she wouldn't tell him upfront, so he began their conversation.

"So ... you know Link?" The girl nodded.

"... And you want to talk to him?" Again a nod. This was going to be more difficult than he had anticipated.

He tried a different approach.

"Would you like me to tell you where he is?" At this the girl looked taken-aback and nodded vigorously.

"Then you need to speak up. I ask you once again: you know Link?"

"He's my brother."
