Okay, read on.

"Are you sure?" Link asked, nervously, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. "Is she going to be okay?" Link couldn't help but feel a bit heart-broken. He grasped her hand tightly, wishing to stay by her side.

"Yes, the doctor said she should wake up in a week," Zelda's father answered. "One week and my comatose daughter should wake up,"

Link felt a tear roll down his cheek, "I'm sorry, I should have stayed with her! It's my fault, if I stayed with her, she wouldn't have been in a coma!"

Kaepora patted Link's back gently, "It's alright my boy, you're to hard on yourself. It's not your fault. Zelda will be fine!"

Link let out a small whimper, "I know," He looked at the peaceful girl, she appeared to be sleeping. "Do you think she'll remember us?" Link asked.

Her father nodded, "There is a high chance she will, now do not fret. Zelda shall wake up soon,"

Link grasped her hand tighter. Her could remember that day a month ago.

Flashback;

Link and Zelda ran happily throughout the field! "You're it!" Link shouted. Running away from the girl.

Suddenly, Zelda leaned against a tree, "Link, I don't feel too good," she said weakly. Link, who thought this was a trick, put his hands on his hips. She could see he didn't believe her. She opened her mouth to explain, but the world grew dark. Frantic squiggles clouded her vision and the world went black.

Link saw Zelda collapse on the spot and began to panic. He ran towards her shouting her name, but the girl stayed silent. "I'll go get help!" Link yelled. Hoping she would hear him.

Link ran through town, looking for someone. Oddly, no one was out today. "Somebody!" Link yelled, "Zelda needs help! Somebody Help!" he shouted. Finally, Pippits mom came out of her house.

"Link? What's with all the ruckus?" she asked. Leaning a broom against a wall.

"It's Zelda!" Link said nervously, "She collapsed and she won't wake up! She needs help!" Link said frantically. Pippits mother called for Renado, the elderly doctor. They went back to the tree where Zelda lay unconscious they carried the limp girl back to the academy. Pippit's mother helped the girl into her bed. While Renado checked her for high blood pressure or a stroke.

"I'm not sure what's wrong with her, but we came to late, she is now in a coma." Doctor Renado said to her father, while Link sat on a chair by the bed. Holding her hand tightly. He sobbed onto her blankets.

"Link, what were you two doing when she collapsed?" Her father asked. Link looked up. His eyes were red and puffy.

"We were playing tag, and all of a sudden she told me she wasn't feeling well. Then she collapsed." Link explained. Tears still rolling down his cheeks.

"I see," her father said. Patting the boy on his back. "She'll wake up in no time, don't you worry,"

Flashback over;

Link set down a carved bird on Zelda's desk.

He tied a card to the bird it said, 'Get well soon ~Link'.

He glanced at Zelda, she should wake up soon, it's been a week. He set a bouquet of heart flowers onto her bed and sat in his chair. Like he did everyday. He laid his head down and began to sulk a bit. How he missed his dear friend.

He sobbed a bit, hoping she would wake up soon. "L..ink?" he heard, a weak, soft voice call his name.

He glanced up, his vision was blurry, so he rubbed his red and puffy eyes. "Zelda?" he asked.

The girl gently placed her hand onto his. "I'm okay, now," she said. "How long have I been asleep?" she asked weakly.

Link smiled, tears ran down his eyes, he was so happy she was awake, he couldn't hold it in. "A.. A month and a half," he said.

Zelda looked shocked, "I've been out that long? Oh dear, what happened in my absence " she asked.

"Um, I'd rather have your father tell you the bad news, later. Right now, you need to rest and recover. You're burning up, here I brought you some heart flowers." Link said, handing the bouquet he made in his spare time.

"Thank you, and what do you mean by bad news?" Zelda asked, suddenly concerned.

Link felt bad, "Don't worry about it now, you need to heal." he said, "Oh, and look, I carved this for you," Link handed her the wooden bird he carved. "It's not that good, but I can get better,"

Zelda smiled, "I love it," she whispered, "I really do, it's beautiful,"

Link smiled, "You- you think so?"

Zelda nodded, "I'll treasure it forever," Link reached over and gently hugged his friend. "Thank you so much," she whispered, "Thank you,"

*Later*

Zelda sat in her room alone, and sat by the window. She sighed, "I want to go out and play, but father won't believe that I'm well enough,"

Suddenly an idea popped in her head. She stuck her head out of the window, and began to search for a certain Loftwing. Finally a streak of red caught her eye. 'Perfect' she thought.

"Hey! Epona!" Zelda yelled, catching the Loftwing's attention, the bird cocked it's head and looked over at Zelda. The girl began to wave her arms, beckoning the bird to come closer. The girl smiled as the red loftwing began to make it's way over to the girl.

"Hey, can you take a letter to Link?" she said patting the birds furry head.

(AN; Yes, according to the Hyrule Historia they have feathers and fur,)

Zelda quickly wrote a letter to Link, and folded it. "Here you go, thanks Epona!" The bird let out a loud squawk and flew away.

Zelda quickly got up and slipped on a normal blue dress, she grabbed her favorite white boots, and put on a white necklace. After she began to tie ribbons around her hair. She looked into the mirror and nodded.

The girl opened her door quietly and looked around, it's been 2 weeks since she woke up and they won't let her out of her room. Zelda was sure Morian wasn't guarding her door anymore. Luckily she was right. She silently tip-toed out of the room and into the hall. She sprinted to the door and opened it.

She felt free again, she missed being outside, being in her enclosed room was so. . . . . . Boring.

She slowly walked up the stairs to the Statue of the Goddess. Hoping Link would be there already. Her guess was right, Link was standing there whistling a song, it sounded so familiar, but she shrugged it off. "Hi Link!" she called, running up to her Best Friend.

"Hey Zellie, are you sure it's a good idea for you to be out here?" he asked, rubbing the back of his head.

I sighed, "Yes, I'm fine! They found a cure for the Avian flu, I should be fine! I hope it's not to late for the others..." she said. It's true, many people have caught the Avian flu, it was spreading fast, only recently a cure has been found. It's to late for most, but Zelda got lucky.

Link nodded, maybe she was right. "Alright, what do you want to do?" he asked. Zelda looked into her friends eyes. She knew the perfect thing to do.

"Cloud watching?" she suggested, In Skyloft, cloud watching was important, especially in the center of the Goddess's Circle. Link nodded, he laid down, Zelda soon following his actions.

They gazed at the sky, "That looks like a cloud," Link joked. Zelda playfully punched his arm.

"That's because that is a cloud doofus!" Zelda snickered.

They sat there in silence. "Hey, is that a new loftwing?" Zelda asked pointing to the sky. It was rare you see an untamed bird.

Zelda was right, "The bird doesn't have a harness." Link muttered, he stood up, "Hey, maybe it's your lucky day!" he said. Pointing to the bird, who was now circling the goddess statue. He leaned in, I'll be at the entrance waiting," he whispered into her ear.

Zelda nodded, they know you had to be alone for the bird to land. She focused her attention to the bird. Finally, the bird began to land. It squawked in Zelda's face. Making her take a step back, out of fear. She didn't know this bird.

It arched it's neck towards the girl. "Uh, hi?" she said nervously, the bird screeched She sheiled her face from it. When the bird leaned back, she slowly placed her hand on it's beak. Her eyes widened, "You're my loftwing!" she yelled excitedly. How she knew, she didn't know. But it felt as if there was an invisible bond between the two.

She glanced over to Link, "I have my own bird!" she yelled excitedly. "I finally have one, now we can go flying together!"

Zelda hopped on the birds back, "Um, how do I fly?"

Link laughed, he whistled for his crimson loftwing, "Watch and Learn," he said, as a strong gust of wind appeared from above, as his bird descended from the heavens. He leaped onto his Bird smiling. "Let's go," he muttered, and took off to the sky, leaving Zelda clueless as to how ride a Loftwing.

Please feel free to give me suggestions. Until next time.
