The ball could not have been more lively. Horwell and Owlan were narrating a play, Dodoh was making balloon animals for the children of Skyloft, Sparrot was juggling crystal balls, and a band was playing merry tunes.

Soon, all the lights dimmed. That's when a single spotlight shined on Zelda who wore a extravagant, white dress with purple accents and a matching purple masquerade mask. Gaepora shed a tear to see his daughter so beautiful.

Zelda started singing as she strung the strings of her golden harp.

Oh youth, guided by the servant of the goddess, unite earth and sky, and bring light to the land...

Zelda found herself stopping at the sight of a mysterious, green figure walking down the plaza stairs. The crowd murmured in confusion. They soon made a clear path for Zelda to walk towards Link.

Once she reached Link, Zelda asked with a smile,"Would you like to dance?"

Link nodded happily.

The crowds whispers got even louder. Who was that young man?

But Link and Zelda did not seem to mind the confusion of the crowd. They were lost in each other's eyes as they starting waltzing to the dance floor.

Zelda was captivated by the charm and mystery of the young man she was dancing with. But, she snapped out of her trance when she saw Groose in a state of disbelief.

Zelda sighed.

When will Groose see that I'm not at all interested in starting a relationship? Zelda thought, feeling rather irritated.

To Zelda's surprise, the waltz had ended. The crowd went wild for the her and Link.

Zelda smiled at the audience then at Link. She slowly lifted his masquerade mask to reveal the face beneath it. She gasped softly. "Link?"

Link immediately started to panic. If Groose found out that he was the mysterious man, he would give Fledge a mega wedgie!

Without warning, Link started to run away.

Zelda cried out worriedly,"Wait!"

Link was so desperate to flee that he nearly tripped on the plaza stairs, leaving behind his cap in the process.

Cawlin had a puzzled look on his face. He asked Groose,"You don't suppose that was Link, do you?"

Groose frowned. "Don't be ridiculous. Link wouldn't just leave Zelda on the spot like that."

Link was about to go up the flight of stairs that led to the Knight Academy, when he noticed a tornado coming right towards him. He tried with all his might to get to the academy. Unfortunately, the tornado was too fast for Link. Link screamed as the twister sucked him up. He immediately fell unconscious.
