I decided to make a Zelda story as my first story... you know, 'cause I'm a Zelda fan. I've been inspired by MajesticStallion to write a Skyward Sword story. This story is mainly revolving around Link, Zelda, Karane and Pipit. It goes through their childhood to their teenage years and to the age they are in the game (19? 20?) Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy!

Part 1

Chapter One: The Knight Academy

The five year olds Link and Zelda were walking around Skyloft. They visited the Bazaar, the light tower, the plaza... they went everywhere. Zelda's favourite place to visit was the statue of the goddess.

"Isn't she beautiful?" Zelda asked Link, her best friend ever since she was a baby.

"Yes, she is." Link responded, a young child and Zelda's best friend. "But can we go see the Knight Academy?"

Zelda sighed and said: "Alright... but don't you think Pipit would want to come too? And Karane?"

Link nodded and they went to get their friends. Once they arrived at Karane's house, they knocked on the door until she opened the door.

"Oh, hey guys!" Karane said, cheerfully. "I guess we're going to the see the Knight Academy today?"

"Yep!" Link said. "Let's go and get Pipit."

"Wait," Karane started. "I have to go ask my mommy."

While Link and Zelda waited for Karane to ask her mother, they stood at the door in silence. After a minute or so, Karane came back and said: "Alright guys, let's go get Pipit!"

The three young friends ran across Skyloft quickly to Pipit's house. They knocked on the door and Pipit's mom answered.

"Oh, well hello!" She said, smiling. "Please, do come inside-"

"NO!" Pipit yelled. "I'm coming!"

"What's wrong about letting them come inside, Pipit!?" She said angrily.

"The house is too dusty!" Pipit answered. "At least MY side is clean... and not PINK!"

"Don't start again, Pipit!" His mom yelled. "Or else your NOT going to do anything with your friends!"

Pipit sighed and went to see Link, Zelda and Karane at the door.

"What is it?" Pipit asked. "Please don't tell me we're going to try Luv's potions again... they made me sick."

"No, we're going to the Knight Academy!" Link said, excitedly. "And we wanted to know if you wanted to come too!"

"Would I!" Pipit said. "Let me ask my mom... you know, just in case."

Pipit asked his mom if he could go with his friends and left his house. They ran to the Knight Academy, laughing, smiling and watching out for flies that could get in their mouth or hit their faces. That would be disgusting.

Once they arrived at the Knight Academy, they entered through the door and ran upstairs. They all ignored the rule that there was no running in the halls. They entered the Headmaster's room and were just jumping up and down; even Link. The Headmaster, also known as Zelda's father, turned around and sighed.

"Zelda, what are you doing exactly?" He asked. "Are you here with your friends to bother our students and teachers again?"

"No daddy!" Zelda answered. "We want a tour!"

"Why do you want a tour?" He asked. "There's not much to see, really."

"Because we want to come here and learn how to fly!" Zelda said. "We REALLY want to have a tour! Please!"

"Not unless you behave." He responded. "And right now I am currently busy."

They all stopped jumping and stood there, backs straight, hands against their sides, quiet.

"Then what could we do while we wait for you?" Zelda asked. "Could we go down to class?"

"No, you will sit on these chairs, and if you have anything to say to each other, whisper," He started. "And if you have anything to say to me, raise your hand."

Karane raised her hand quickly with her back straight. She waved her hand side to side to get the Headmaster's attention.

"Sigh..." The Headmaster said. "Yes, Karane."

"Can I go to the bathroom?" Karane asked. "I REALLY need to go."

"And why didn't you go before you got here?" The Headmaster asked, his back turned against her while he was looking for a book in his bookshelf.

"I didn't have to then..." Karane replied. "Can I PLEASE go now?"

The Headmaster sighed, nodded and said: "It's downstairs. And don't forget to flush!"

As Karane went down the stairs, she decided to take a peek at the kitchen and the classroom. First, she took a peek at the kitchen. She snuck in there and hid from Henya, the lunch lady. She hid under the table and when Henya wasn't looking, she hid behind the large stone cooking soup. Henya left the kitchen and went in the bathroom. Karane was very quiet and took some food from the pantry. She left the room, eating scrumptious food. She headed for the classroom. Once she arrived, she took a peek. All you would be able to see was a little face with red hair in cute little pigtails, and crumbs all over her face. Karane kept peeking until a student saw her, and she ran up the stairs. She arrived back in the Headmaster Gaeopora's room.

"That took you quite a while, Karane." The Headmaster said. "And what's with all the crumbs on your face?"

Karane quickly wiped away the crumbs from her face and she replied: "Oh, n-nothing."

The Headmaster looked at her and turned away, toward his bookshelf. The four kids started whispering things to each other, just kid talk. After an hour or so, they were exhausted and they were numb. After a minute or so, the Headmaster said: "Alright kids, it's time for your tour."

The four all got up and sighed in relief. They stretched their arms and they moved their legs. Then, they all followed the Headmaster out of his dorm to the first floor. He stopped and looked down at Link and his friends.

"This is the main entrance, and if you look to your right, you'll see that there is one washroom for both boys and girls." The Headmaster said. "Now, right in front of you is the kitchen. Let's go take a look."

They all walked into the kitchen where Henya was. Karane instantly avoided eye contact with her so she wouldn't see that she was scared to see if she had figured out that she had stolen food from her.

"This is where the best food in Skyloft is made." The Headmaster said. "All the students of the Knight Academy come here for breakfast, lunch and dinner."

"Excuse me, Mr. Headmaster but I have a question for you." Henya said. "It seems as if some of my food in the pantry has went missing, or perhaps EATEN." She quickly looked right into Karane's eyes and started laughing. "Oh!" Henya said. "Why would such adorable kids eat some of my food? How could they even leave the Headmaster's sight!" Karane let a sigh of relief. The Headmaster looked down to them and quickly said: "I'll keep an eye out for anyone suspicious." The Headmaster actually knew that Karane had taken the food, but he just couldn't imagine what Henya would give her as a punishment... She seems like a nice lady, but when you touch her food, she just gets mad that even a buffalo wouldn't want to mess with her.

The kids followed the Headmaster out of the kitchen to the front of the student dorms.

"These are the dorms of our fellow Knight Academy male students." The Headmaster said. "It would be quite rude to enter their dorms, so I cannot show you what they look like... who knows? Some of you might end up in one of these!"

The Headmaster kept walking and stopped in front of the classroom. Without even looking at them, he pointed to the chalkboard and said: "Every morning, before going into class, the students read news that involves the Knight Academy or anyone from the Knight Academy."

After the kids' attempts to read what was on there, they headed in the classroom.

"This is where we teach all of our students important things to be a knight." The Headmaster said. "Take a look around, but don't touch anything without my permission!"

The kids all scattered around the room and started looking at things. Karane ran to the teacher's chair and asked the Headmaster if she could sit on it. He said yes and she ran to sit. Then she said: "This is SO COOL!" Pipit asked if he could see some of the books, even though he couldn't read. He just wanted to look at the pictures. The Headmaster said yes, and Pipit started looking through books. Then he said, disappointed: "What? There's no pictures!" Zelda asked if she could draw on the chalkboard. The Headmaster sighed and said: "Fine, but you have to clean up after!" Zelda started drawing pictures on the chalkboard. Link didn't know what to do, so he decided to go see Zelda. "Can I draw with you?" Link asked. "Sure!" Zelda responded. "But you better ask my dad first..." Link asked and they started drawing pictures all over the chalkboard. Sooner or later, they were all drawing on the chalkboard.

"Alright, it's time to erase the pictures and start cleaning the chalkboard!" Gaeopora said.

The kids hung their heads down and started cleaning. After a little while, they all proceeded to the second floor.

"As you all now, this is my dorm." The Headmaster said, pointing to the big door. "These two doors are the instructors' dorms, which are not available to visit since they are hard at work."

The kids sighed that they couldn't go inside the dorms- they all wanted to see them so badly.

"These are the girls' dorms." The Headmaster said. "The same thing as the boys', except these are on the second level."

They kept walking and they stopped in front of a blue door that looked exactly like the bathroom door that was on the first floor.

"This is the bath." The Headmaster told the kids. "Don't enter, it would be quite rude if someone were in there."

The kids laughed at the thought that there might be someone taking a bath in there and that they would enter, without knowing that there was actually someone in there. It would have been a disaster, but in their minds it would have been hilarious.

"This is the second floor door to head outside." The Headmaster said. "That is the end of your tour, now please exit through this door since I have work to do."

The kids hung their heads, once again, and left through the door. The weren't very satisfied of the fact they couldn't see the dorms or the bath. They wanted to see them really bad! They didn't exactly know why, but they just needed to see the sight of a Knight Academy's student dorm.

"Well that wasn't much of a tour..." Pipit said. "I would've liked to taste some food and see more."

"I actually tasted some." Karane said. "Instead of going to the bathroom, I just took some food and peeked inside the class."

"Did you actually have to go to the bathroom?" Link asked.

Karane shook her head.

"Nice," Zelda started. "The 'I have to go' trick, it's brilliant."

"I say we go back in there and have a REAL tour." Pipit said. "One of our own!"

"Yeah, but when would we do that?" Zelda asked.

They all looked at each other, thinking of when they would sneak in. They thought hard with their tiny brains for half an hour until Karane's face lit up.

"I've got it." Karane said. "At night."

The other three looked so happy about the idea it was kind of scary.

"But how are we going to get past our parents?" Pipit said. "Well, except for Link."

Karane looked down and thought hard. The others thought hard as well. Fifteen minutes had passed until Zelda said: "I know!"

The others looked at her with curious faces, wondering what in the Sky it would be.

"Before we go to bed, we open a window." Zelda started. "Then, when our parents are sleeping, we get out of the window and we meet somewhere hidden where the night guards can't see us."

"Where would we meet, then?" Link asked. "A place where no guard will see us..."

The thinking went on and on until Zelda said: "Let's meet at the Statue of the Goddess!"

Link sighed and said: "Why do we always have to go to the Statue of the Goddess?"

"Please, Link!" Zelda said. "We practically NEVER go, we always end up at the Knight Academy!"

Pipit and Karane agreed, and after a little explaining, Link agreed as well. Their plan was perfectly put together: They would sneak out of their houses at night, they would meet at the Statue of the Goddess and enter the Knight Academy for their own tour where you get to taste the food, enter the dorms... heck, WAY more then when they had a tour with the Headmaster.

"We also have to watch out for the night guard that is outside of the Knight Academy." Karane said. "He also goes around the Sparring Hall, so that would be our time to get in."

They nodded and looked at each other. Link couldn't help but look at Zelda's wide, shimmering blue eyes. Zelda looked at Link and smiled at him. Link and Zelda each blushed and looked away from each other.

"So it's a plan!" Pipit said. "It'll be hard to get past my mother though..."

"Then I'll come and see you." Karane said, looking toward him. "It'll be easier that way."

"How will it be easier?" Pipit asked. "It will just make even more noise then it would if I did it alone, and I'm willing to try."

"I have to agree with Pipit on this one." Zelda said. "It is true that it would make more noise and if he does get caught, that means we probably would too."

Link nodded in approval to Zelda's words, and eventually Karane did as well. Pipit's mom is hard to get by and if they were there she would know it was something suspicious.

A couple of hours had passed until it started getting a bit dark; for a five year old, that is. They all said they're good-byes, and simply talking over the plan so no one would forget.

I am working on my second chapter, which is only at it's beginning. I will be posting it when it's ready! Please read and review.
