Yeah, I felt like writing another chapter.

Chapter Ten: Return to Outset

A week after Link's chat with Sheik, and all thoughts of a fight between them had disappeared (tension had been running high, but only Sheik and Link had been unaware of it), and the Ship had arrived at Outset Island.

Although eager to see his friends and family, Link elected to help his new friends overcome their sea legs. Mikau got better immediately, on account of him being a fish-type being, and he immediately went to below the bridge to clean himself and refresh himself. While he didn't need water, it was always refreshing to have a quick dip. Aveil had been to sea before, so she recovered soon after. Dangoro simply fell to the floor and refused to get up until he was sure his legs knew they were on dry land (well, beach) once again. Sheik was worst affected, as she had never been to sea before, and was quite used to having control over her own body, and was severely upset that she couldn't stand without feeling distinctively sick.

Later, when everyone had reunited, or introduced themselves to the islanders, everyone gathered outside of Link's Grandma's house for a "Welcome Back" Party, where everyone was eager to find out if Link and Tetra had found a new land.

"Unfortunately, no, but I have noticed that this island looks bigger," said Tetra,

"How did you notice that?" Link asked, leaning over the makeshift table (made of a large boulder, or three),

"Well, there is now a pathway leading into Jabun's cave, and some smaller islands have formed around the island. I take it that the Deku Tree and the Koroks are succeeding in joining the islands together to bring back Hyrule," was Tetra's reply.

"Jabun…" murmured Sheik.

"You know of him?" asked Link's Grandmother, friendly.

"Ganondorf destroyed Jabun's island before he went to Greatfish Isle. That island was the one that we were born on." Sheik replied, and tears were now visible in her large ruby red eyes.

"Don't cry, I'm sorry, I didn't know," said Link, feeling slightly guilty.

"It's not your fault," said Sheik, her platinum blonde hair falling in front of her face as she looked back at her meal, "I'm not hungry anymore, sorry." and with that, Sheik stood up and left the table. Once she thought she was out of sight, she began running. Link turned back to his meal, and found he wasn't hungry either. When he heard a cry of pain from the direction where Sheik had run, he decided to go and investigate.

On the side of the bridge where Old Man Ho Ho of the Ho Ho tribe (the guy with the telescope) had set up camp, Link found Sheik sitting on a rock.

"Are you alright?" Link asked tentatively, knowing that Sheik was likely to lash out.

"Yes," said Sheik stiffly,

"It sounded like you hurt yourself on the way up here."

"It's just a sprain."

"Your ankle?"

"Yes."

Suddenly, a shooting star fell from the sky and impacted on the ocean, to the North of Outset Island.

"Shooting star… that's early," said Link, a look of concentration on his face,

"What do you mean?" Sheik asked,

"Shooting stars don't fall 'til winter…"

And as Link said it, a huge tidal wave rose up from the ocean.

"And, they usually bring waves with them."

And at that, Link ran to the cliff, and shouted towards the other islanders; "TIDAL WAVE! DUCK AND COVER!"

Hearing this, the islanders ran towards nearest house (Grandma's House) and the crew (and Linebeck) went with them.

"Come on, we have to get under cover!" said Link, moving over to Sheik to help her.

"Won't the wave just hit the cliff?" Sheik asked nervously,

"No, it'll just go over, we get huge waves every now and then, but that looks bigger than any wave we've ever had, it's usually Aryll's job to tell people. That's another reason why we built the lookout, now come on, we have to get over the bridge."

Hoisting Sheik's arm over his shoulder, they began moving as fast as they could towards the bridge. But when Sheik looked up:

"No."

"What?" Link asked, looking at her incredulously,

"I won't go in the forest."

"It's that or drown in the biggest tidal wave of the century."

"I'll take my chances."

"As much as I'd like to respect your wishes, I'm sorry, but close your eyes and let me guide you, you don't have to watch."

And with that, Sheik had no choice but to let Link guide her across the bridge and into the forest.

Yeah, I had to get Sheik upset again to bring in the tidal wave, otherwise they would have all died. I also put in an explanation as to why Link was in the lookout at the beginning of Wind Waker. He was watching for tidal waves.
