AUTHOR'S NOTE: I LIVE! Clearly. Duh. Thanks Bandicoot Sauce, James Birdsong, AMaeJay, and TwentyPoundsofPlotConvenience! They have taken the time to review, and it was very much appreciated.

Well, here you have two Skyward Sword ones. First, we have something based off a side quest I did recently. I…clicked an answer I didn't want and, well, yeah… I can just imagine the things that could have happened. It reminded me of a game where I chose a potentially offensive answer to something and got pushed off a tower. Poor Zael… Thanks a lot, Last Story (Wii). The only game I've played where they actually can make a character kill you in a cutscene, or they let you shove random people that shout at you. "What do you think you're doing" in a British accent. They also let you make your people fight with all-golden clothes on.

Whoops, got a little off track there. The second part of this is just something I randomly thought of.

DISCLAIMER: Hello, this is a red flag saying, "NO, THIS PERSON DOES NOT OWN LEGEND OF ZELDA. THEY DO OWN A DEAD BODY-I MEAN BODY PILLOW. YES, THAT IS WHAT I MEANT."


Link was on the Surface, searching for something interesting for Owlan to study. The plantmaster apparently had collected every type of plant in the sky. Link wasn't so sure of that being true, considering he hadn't seen any giant mushroom in the area. Then again, maybe that volcano shaped place was Owlan's…

Meh. It didn't matter. He really needed to focus on his plant search. It was then that he remembered Fi could help. "Fi!"

Even though he only called her name, she understood. She was special like that.

Moments later, he arrived at the hole-in-the-ground where the Kikwi's lived. Now, if he remembered correctly, there was one Kikwi who was constantly on alert for danger…

"Kew kew? What are you doing here, kew? Never mind that, do you know of any place that is actually safe? My shoulders are starting to hurt from hiding here."

Link couldn't resist. After all, he did just waste hours of his life searching for a plant to give Professor Owlan. "What shoulders?"

"What shoul-WHAT SHOULDERS!? JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE THEM DOESN'T MEAN THEY AREN'T THERE!"

Link blinked, and slowly backed away. "I'm just gonna…Yeah, bye!"

Link was out. Out like a bunny fleeing from a hungry cat in a field full of pretty pink flowers. Except he was just fleeing from a very-angry Kikwi in a hole-in-the-ground.


Some days Link felt like being a dork. Others he wanted to give people his adorable puppy dog eyes look that never failed (except with the jerk of a Water Dragon. Man, she really didn't like him). All other days, he was either a sassmaster or very angry.

Today, he was particularly leaning towards being a dork. So, into dorkdom it was.

People were giving him more glances than usual today. Putting on the pink, fluffy scarf Zelda got him as a joke was, in hindsight, a bad idea. Well, it was too late to go back now. So, he strode out into the Main Plaza with a confident (read: embarrassed) look. Hopefully they would just play it off as him being a bit weirder than usual, or having cracked under the pressure and putting him in an insane asylum and ohHyliawhydidhethinkthiswasagoodidea! He really didn't want to go back to the Academy right now, he could imagine the looks he would get from the students currently there!* But he couldn't just throw away Zelda's gift! (Even though it was just a joke.) He ran for the cave. There he could take off the scarf and put it in his Adventure Pouch, then fly to the Surface. He would never come back to Skyloft or the other sky cities**, because he had no doubt in his mind that somehow word would spread. Farewell, Skyloft! Your hero will decease, but your people linger on. May my kind-of friends find solace in me once being sane!

Nobody in the sky ever saw Link again.


OTHER AUTHOR'S NOTE: *Headcanon that there are more people there than you think, and that the Academy actually extends underground.

*Other Headcanon that there are more cities in the sky, because there have to be more Hylians left.

And yes, that was indeed a Harry Potter reference at the end. By the way, the "What shoulders?" thing was what I accidently chose. Well, I say accidently… Read and review, my creatures-that-probably-won't-actually-review! Farewell!
