"AMY! BIG BROTHER!" I heard Aryll and Andy shout. "AMY! BIG BROTHER!" they shouted again. I opened my eyes and saw that Link had his arm around me all night. I smiled and snuggled up closer to him.

"AMY! BIG BROTHER!" our siblings yelled again. At this point, Link had opened his eyes and noticed his arm around me. He didn't mind, and he snuggled closer.

"AMY! BIG BROTHER!" they yelled again. Link was annoyed by this, and decided to just get up. He stretched and rubbed his eyes. He nudged me with his foot and said, "Amy, time to get up."

I obeyed and stood up, smiling at Link.

"I knew we'd find you here!" Aryll said from behind us.

"WAHHH!" I shouted, having a coniption fit.

"Aryll, please do NOT do that! I have heart attacks when people sneak up on me." I said, panting. "Sorry Amy." she said sweetly.

"It's alright, Aryll. You didn't know." I said, hugging her. "Sorry, I'm a hugger." I apologized.

"It's okay, I am, too!" Aryll said, smiling. "Anyways! Big brother, Do you know what day it is today?" she asked. Complete silence. "You're still half asleep...Aren't you?" More silence. I chuckled a bit at this silence. "Did you forget?" Cricket...Cricket. "Big Brother, it's your birthday!" Aryll finally gave him the answer.

"Really? Oh goddesses, this is the second year I've done that!" Link said, rubbing his head sheepishly.

"That's why Grandma's been waiting for you back at the house! You should go see what she wants, don't you think?" Aryll explained.

"Yeah, I guess. Hey, Amy, Andy, wanna come with?" Link asked.

"Sure." I said, smiling.

"Not me. Aryll and I are going to play with the gulls!" Andy said. Aryll nodded.

"Okay, then I guess it's just me and you, Amy." Link said, smiling. We walked to Link's house and looked for his grandma, but she wasn't there.

"Maybe she's up on the second level." I suggested. We went up and found his gramma. We walked up to her and she turned around.

"Hello, Link. Amy." she said.

"Hi." we said.

"Link...Try these on." she said, giving Link a tunic and hat. Us women looked away. Grandma said something about being proud to wear the clothes and something about a hero. We didn't really listen.

"Does all this make sense to you?" she asked. We just nodded. "Link! It fits you perfectly! A perfect fit!" she said. She said that she was going to throw a party for Link's birthday. "Now, go get Aryll." she finished. We went down the ladder and were just about out the door when Link stopped.

"Link, c'mon! We gotta go get Aryll and Andy!" I said.

"No WAY am I going out like this! I mean, I like the outfit, it's just too hot outside!" Link said.

"Link! Please! For me?" I said, giving him the puppy dog face.

"Oh Goddesses...NOT THE PUPPY DOG FACE! PLEASE, NOOOO!" Link shouted, trying to not give in. But I threw in some fake sniffles, which made him crack. "Okay, fine. I'll go. But you OWE me a favor!" he said, walking out the door.

"Alright, fine by me." I said, shrugging. We walked out to the lookout, where Aryll and Andy were still playing with the gulls.

"Hey, Link! Did grandma make those for you?" Aryll asked, motioning towards the tunic Link was wearing. He nodded. "But wow...You look like you'd be way too hot in those clothes." she said, rubbing her head sheepishly. "Hey, Link...Do you think you could...Close your eyes and hold out your hand? Just for a second!" she asked. Link nodded and did what was asked. "I am going to give you my most treasured possession. But just for one day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" she said, putting her telescope in his hand.

"Wow!" Link said, opening his eyes. "Ooh, why don't you try it out! Right now! See if you can see our house from here!" Aryll said excitedly.

"Alright." he said, looking at their house through the telescope.

"Link! Are you looking at the red post box?" Aryll shouted.

"No, hold on." Link said, looking at the red post box.

"Link! Are you using the gold ring to zoom in? 'Cause you should be!" Aryll said. Link did as he was told. "Wow, that post man sure looks weird, doesn't he?" Aryll asked. Link nodded. "AAAAAAH! THE SKY! LINK, LOOK UP IN THE SKY!" she shouted. Link did what he was told again and his eyes widened.

"Whats wrong?" I asked.

"Take a look!" Link said. I looked through the telescope. There, a girl about our age was being carried through the sky by a huge bird that had such a huge body that he put Big Bird to shame.

"Omigosh!" I exclaimed. I let Link look back through the telescope. I could see plenty without it. A pirate ship followed the bird, shooting canonballs at it. The bird dodged the first 2 or 3, but the last one popped him one in the beak. This made the bird panic and drop the girl in the mountain below.

"Link! Did you see that? That bird dropped that girl on that summit! You gotta save her!" Aryll cried, tears forming in her eyes.

"Don't cry, Aryll. It'll be okay." I said, hugging the poor little girl. "Link, she's right. We gotta do something." I said, still hugging the little blond girl.

"Alright...I know exactly what to do!" Link shouted. I let go of Aryll and looked at her.

"Aryll, you and Andy stay here. Link and I will be back soon." I asured her.

"Okay." Aryll said, still sniffling. Link and I climbed down the ladder and he dragged me down to an old house.

"Amy, I have someone for you to meet." he said, opening the door to the house. "Amy, this is Orca, my teacher in swordplay. Orca, this is Amy." Link said, motioning towards an old man holding a spear.

"Hello." I said politely.

"Hello." Orca said back. "Link, you look as if something is wrong...What happened?" Orca asked Link.

"Nothing." Link lied. "Well, what say you? Would you children like to practice the ways of swordplay?" Orca asked.

"Sure." Link and I said at the same time.

"Okay." Orca said. We did all the moves asked.

"And yet...I sense an anxiousness in the swords you hold...You know what? Take them. I have plenty more." Orca said.

"AWESOME! Thanks, Orca!" Link and I said. We ran out of the house and up to the mountain. The path was blocked by trees, but that was NO problem. We cut them down in just about 10 seconds. We threw the last of the trees into the ocean and stepped over the stumps. We ran over to the bridge, only to notice a plank missing.

"It's okay. Let me go first. I'll help you over after that." Link said, smiling at me. He ran over the bridge and jumped over the missing plank. I went next and he grabbed my hand and helped me over the hole.

"Thanks." I said. We proceeded to the forest. We quietly entered a cave thing, only to find that it was the entrance to the forest. We immediately noticed the girl, dangling from a tree branch, unconcious. We ran through the forest and noticed a Moblin. We quickly defeated it.

"Hooray for teamwork!" We said, high-fiving each other. We went through the rest of the forest, only to see two more Moblins drop from the sky. I defeated one and Link killed the other. Suddenly, the girl's eyes fluttered open. She noticed where she was, and started struggling to get free. Eventually, the tree branch broke and she fell down on to the forest floor.

"OWWWWCH!" she yelled. We ran over to her to make sure she was okay.

"Whats with those get-ups?" she insulted. We didn't care if she was being sorta mean. As long as she was okay, we were okay. "What happened...Oh, that's right! That giant bird came and..." she was cut off by a pirate yelling.

"Miss! Miss Tetra!" he yelled. "Oh...Oh thank goodness you're safe! When you got dropped on this summit, I was sure you'd..." he was cut of by Tetra.

"Summit? So that bird dropped me on top of a mountain? Well, wasn't that nice of it! C'mon! Don't just stand there! Let's go pay our debt to that bird in full!" she said.

"But, Miss...What about these children?" the pirate asked.

"Don't worry about them. C'mon!" she answered. The pirate ran out, and we ran after them. We stopped at the bridge, only to see Aryll, waving at Link.

"'Hoy, Big brother! Amy!" she greeted us. We waved back, and she began walking across the bridge. Suddenly, the huge bird came down, grabbed Aryll, and began flying away.

"BROTHER!" we heard her cry. Link unsheathed his sword and started to run after the bird...but ended up almost falling off the cliff. But, luckly, Tetra caught him. I held Tetra up, and the pirate held me up.

"Uhhn! Stupid kid! Get ahold of yourself! She's gone. Theres nothing you can do." Tetra said, still holding onto Link's wrist. We pulled him up and walked back to the beach. When we got to the beach, Link asked Tetra if we could go on her ship with her.

"What?!? You want to come with us on our ship?!" she asked, her eyes widening. We nodded. "But we're pirates! You know...PIRATES! Terror of the seven seas! What do we get out of taking two helpless little kids along with us? I'll tell you what we get...a headache. I know how you must feel, having your sister being kidnapped and all...but that doesn't really have anything to do with us now, does it?" she said, putting her hands on her hips.

"And how do you figure that...?" the Rito Postman asked.

"Whoa, whoa whoa there! Who are you?! Where do you get off butting into someone else's conservation?!"the pirate asked.

"It's conversation, Gonzo. And, yeah, where do you get off butting into our conversation?" Tetra asked.

"Please! All I mean to say is that if you big, bad pirates hadn't come to this quiet little island, that poor girl wouldn't have been snatched away by that bird." the Rito said.

"And just what do you mean by that?" Tetra interrupted.

"Just be quiet for a moment, and I'll tell you!" Rito replied.

"Okay..." Tetra replied.

"Now, as my work entails delivering letters, I spend much of my time travelling amongst the different islands. As a result, I hear many things...Haven't any of you heard word that young girls have been getting kidnapped lately from all regions of the Great Sea? No matter. Whether you've heard it or not, that seems to be the case. Young girls with long ears like yours have been getting kidnapped, never to be seen again. And unless my eyes fail me, the young girl who was just kidnapped from this island also has long ears, does she not? Much like YOU do, Miss Fearsome Pirate. My point is that the bird mistook that poor girl for you, and that's why it grabbed her!" the Rito explained.

"Oooohhhhh....." Tetra said, now understanding.

"And correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it was young Link and Amy here who saved you from the monsters in the forest, wasn't it?" Rito continued.

"Is this true?" Tetra asked us. We nodded.

"Oh, and while I'm at it, I may as well tell you that the bird who kidnapped both you and Link's sister has made its foul nest to the north, on the heights of the Forsaken Fortress." Rito said.

"The Forsaken Fortress?! Isn't that the place where..." Tetra was cut off by the Rito.

"So, what are you going to do? Under the circumstances, I don't think it would be unreasonable for you to give Link and Amy a little help, now, would it?" the Rito finally finished.

"Hmph... I don't need you to tell me that! And even if I were to consider it...Lately, I've heard nothing but evil rumors about this Forsaken Fortress. You can't possibly mean to go there with nothing but those cheap little dinky swords! That's not brave! It's stupid! I mean, come on! Even a simple little island like this has to have something for you to use as shields. Y'know, something to protect yourself with? Anything? Tell you what. If you come back with something like that, we'll let you stow away on our ship." Tetra said.

"Deal!" Link and I said.

"And they're not dinky nor cheap!" I said. We ran off to Link's house, grabbing the family shield and made a run for it.

"I'll go ask Orca if he has another shield we can have. You stay here." I instructed. I went in and asked Orca for a shield.

"Sure, young'n. Here ya go." he said, giving me a shield that looked like Link's.

"Thanks!" I said. I ran out and grabbed Link's hand, dragging him over to the pirates.

"Okay, we got our shields. Now, lets go!" I said.

"Alright..." Tetra said, climbing aboard the ship. Link and I climbed aboard. We began sailing off, waving good bye to our friends. We went a room on the ship, where Niko had a game set up for us. We passed it pretty quick. Niko was pretty surprised to see that we passed it so fast. We got a prize for being so fast-----a bag to keep stuff from enemies in.

"Hey! Link! Amy! We're at the Forsaken Fortress!" Tetra yelled from outside. We quickly ran out of the room and back outside. We looked around for Tetra, but she was no where to be found.

"GUYS! I'M UP HERE!" Tetra yelled from the crow's nest. We climbed up there to her.

"What were you doing with Niko? Don't tell me you were playing some game...for treasure...were you?" she asked. Oh goddesses, we're TOAST! I thought.
