2nd Entry: Majora's Cafe

At the top of the Shiekah Tower near the plateau that was part of Castle Town High School, Zelda and Link stood awkwardly with five other students holding glider-shaped devices. Across from them, a short round-faced man with balding black hair adjusted his round glasses while next to him a tall human-like bird leaned against one of the tower posts that had blue-black feathers and piercing green eyes.

"Since you're all carrying Paragliders, I would assume you're in the right class," the balding man said, glancing at everyone sternly. "Otherwise, I'd be forced to expel you immediately. This class is for those who wish to learn Paragliding, which I take very seriously as part of my research. So to make sure you're doing it right, we have Revali of the Rito to help us."

As the balding man turned, the green-eyed bird stepped forward and looked down on the Hylians with a judgmental stare.

"Not a promising lot, I see," the green-eyed bird known as Revali stated bluntly. "But maybe some of you will surprise me."

It was then that Zelda glanced at Link, who was glaring angrily at Revali.

Ignoring Link's glare, Revali continued, "Being a natural-born flyer, I can tell you this: flying is an art! Never take it for granted, because some will naturally be better at it than others. Now, for your first flying lesson, let's have you glide over to…the Shrine of Resurrection over there."

Pointing with his right wing, the students looked past the church up near the top of the plateau where a cave was partially visible.

Not entirely satisfied, Zelda raised her hand much to the balding man's annoyance.

"Yes, Miss Zelda?" the balding man asked, hiding his irritation.

"Mister Branli, wouldn't it be easier for us to land on the Great Plateau instead?" Zelda suggested. "The Shrine of Resurrection is a bit hard to see from here, and some serious injuries might occur to the students who miss it on the first try."

"Then it's their problem, not mine," Revali huffed. "You guys did sign waivers before entering this class, right?"

Reluctantly, everyone nodded including Link and Zelda.

"Therefore, whatever happens in this class is at your own risk," Revali confirmed and stretched his wings. "Now, after I've flown to it first I want you to follow my lead."

Though the students tried their best to follow Revali's example, he ended up criticizing all of them for doing it wrong especially Link even though he landed the closest to the Shrine of Resurrection while everyone else either landed too low or too high which was what happened to Zelda who ended up on top of the Great Plateau instead. So after Link helped her get down, the class was over and so the two made their way to the next one through the courtyard when another tall figure approached them. He was a little taller than Revali but with smooth silky skin that was white and red. His head was shaped like a shark's with a tail protruding from the back and when he smiled two rows of shark-like teeth were visible.

"Hey, Zelda!" the figure said politely. "I really liked your speech from this morning. It was very inspirational and well-spoken!"

"Thanks," Zelda nodded. "I appreciate the compliment."

Looking a little embarrassed, the fish-like figure held out his hand. "I'm not sure if you remember me, but…my name is Sidon, of the Zora."

While Link's eyes widened, Zelda took the fish-like figure's hand. "You're Mipha's little brother, aren't you?"

"Well, as you can see, I'm not so little anymore," Sidon replied, looking down at Zelda. "I was only a tadpole when we first met, so I wasn't sure if you remembered."

"Of course I do," Zelda responded. "You were awfully cute, referring to Link as your 'Big Brother' and always claiming you would someday be better at swimming than him."

While Link looked astray, Sidon glanced over at him.

"Still silent as ever," Sidon remarked. "But that's what makes you so cool!"

As the bell from earlier rang, Zelda told Sidon, "We should get going, but if you want to continue our conversation meet me and Link at Majora's Cafe after school."

"Okay, sounds good!" Sidon said enthusiastically. "And where is that?"

"Ask Mipha," Zelda answered. "She'll tell you."

When the final bell rang, Link and Zelda walked past the walls that surrounded Castle Town entered the parking lot and rode Link's motorbike out of it. They drove to the eastern part of Hyrule where they parked in front of a small building shaped like a tent that had a heart-shaped mask over the entrance. Next to them was parked a similar motorbike, only this one was entirely gold-colored instead of blue with a sidecar shaped a walrus.

"Riju's already here," Zelda figured as she got off the back of Link's bike. "So Buliara won't be too far behind."

"Indeed."

Startled, Zelda looked behind her and saw two women. One was tall and muscular, while the other was tall and skinny. They both had long red hair, tan skin, and long noses.

"Don't scare me like that, Buliara," Zelda insisted, catching her breath.

"My apologies," said the tall female. "I was merely responding to what you were saying."

Sighing, Zelda turned to the shorter girl and asked, "How long have you been waiting, Riju?"

"Oh, not too long," replied the shorter girl. "I did a little shopping across the street to pass the time, but I'm short on Rupees so do you think you could treat me to an Ikana Valley smoothie? Just for today?"

Reluctantly, Zelda agreed and the four of them entered Majora's Cafe. Inside, the place was dimly lit with several tables and chairs arranged around a circular area with various masks displayed on the walls around them. There was a counter near the back where a tall ginger-haired man stood wearing a purple robe with a constant grin on his face. Then to the right was an open stage where a group of Hylian musicians were playing various instruments. While Buliara stood near the entrance, the other three walked up towards the counter looking at the menu items that were listed above the man's head. Once they ordered what they wanted, Link noticed something and pinched Zelda's shoulder.

"What?" When Zelda looked at where Link was pointing, she urged Riju to follow her and Link.
