RUTO'S POV

I walked through the stores with Groose, making sure to capture his attention. I was making sure to ask him about his customs; although, I could have cared less about it. It made me look interested in his country.

"Infact Ruto, there is one of my favorite customs in 3 days." Groose chimed.

"Really?" I asked, "While we are still all in town, how lovely. What is it?"

"The Wing Ceremony; It is a race on the back of loft wings. People come from all over Skyloft to compete. Infact, I was thinking about asking Link if he would like to compete in it. Although he is new, he seems to have a fantastic connection with his bird. "

I looked up at him with a broad smile (I could work with this), "OH MY GROOSE, That is a BRILLIANT idea."

He flashed a winning smile and said, "I thought so too. I was also thinking of asking Zelda to be the goddess."

It felt like someone just slammed on the breaks. Did he really just say that to me? In the calmest matter I could muster, I asked "Why Zelda?"

He replied, "She looks most like the ancient Goddess Hylia. However, she would have to sew a Sailcloth. Plus I would have to convince her to do so."

This just keeps on getting better and better, I thought to myself. "You just convince Link to race. If he races, I am positive Zelda will. In fact I will even pick up the supplies she will need to make the cloth."

Groose turned to me and said, "That is really thoughtful of you Ruto."

"Oh think nothing of it."

I purchased a pair of scissors, cloth, and a pack of needles for phase one. I also purchased a white sparkly gown with a built in corset and fan for phase 2. Phase 3, I would need to make a few calls for…

Zelda's Pov

It has been 3 hours and Link is finally starting to look much better. His heart rate returned back to a normal pace. He was no longer vomiting or sweating profusely. His breathing was almost normal again. I wondered to myself what could have possibly gotten him so ill. His eyes fluttered open and were looking straight at me. I smiled and asked, "Hey sleepy head, How are you feeling? Are you still dizzy?" He smiled weakly and shook his head no. He then sat up and tried to get up. He was wobbly at first but managed to get his balanced.

He flashed me a charming smile and stated, "I am starving."

I laughed and said, "I guess so, you weren't able to eat breakfast this morning and last night's dinner now resides in this trash can."

He blushed and said, "Thank you for taking care of me Zel."

I smiled and nodded. I was then betrayed by my own stomach, it growled rather loudly. Link laughed and we walked to the dining room. It appeared everyone had just gotten back. The dining room was bustling with noise. Everyone turned to look at Link, probably wondering if there was going to be a repeat of this morning's vase incident. Once they realized he was fine they all turned back to their own table.

We sat down at our table and everybody was chattering. It looked like they all had a great time. Groose turned to us and said, "Hey, I wanted to ask yall something." We both looked up and he continued, "Link, I was wondering if you would like to compete in the Wing ceremony. It is a race we have to celebrate the Goddess Hylia. It's a lot of fun." Link smiled, it looked like he really liked that idea. He nodded. Groose then continued, "Fantastic," he then turned his attention to me and said, "Zelda, I was hoping you would like to play the role of the goddess. She give the winner a handmade sailcloth and a kiss."

I raised my eyebrow at his request and asked, "Now why would I want to give possibly a complete stranger a kiss?"

Ruto then invaded our conversation and said, "Because I picked you out a gorgeous dress and will be completely offended if you don't compete. I also got you all the supplies you would need to make the sail cloth."

I sighed and said, "Fine, It's not like I am going to be forced to kiss Ganondorf." Link between shoveling food in his mouth snorted with laughter.

I smiled and began to eat myself.

Once we finished eating, Link went outside to practice with his loftwing and I followed Ruto to check out the dress and supplies she picked out. I stopped at the dorm and she handed me the dress. It was magnificent, It was a long sleeve white dress with a glitter wing pattern on it. It had a built in corset (unfortunate, but still very pretty). She then grabbed the other supplies and we headed to my room.

I looked through the supplies and had a general idea of what I wanted to do, but Ruto was pestering me to try on the dress (and part of me wanted to also). So I tried on the dress. It fit me like a glove. The corset was uncomfortable, but that was to be expected. Ruto smiled and said "Girl, you're going to have Link falling off his bird when he sees you in this." I blushed and used the fan she gave me. As beautiful as this dress was, it was hard to breath in and it was HOT! I took it off and placed it in my closet. I then hugged Ruto as thanks. She looked shaken but didn't say anything. I then decided to get started on the sailcloth.

RUTO'S POV

At about 1:00 in the morning, I snuck into Zelda's room. She was asleep as I suspected. The first thing I did was go into Zelda's closet. I grabbed her dresses and sneaked them to my room. I called in my seamstress and had her take in all of the dresses about an inch. There weren't that many. I then sneaked over to her body. She must have fallen asleep working on the sailcloth. She made things soooo much easier. I grabbed the sewing scissors off the nightstand and started to cut away at her hair. Her long hair was now going to be a shoulder length mess. Once that was done, I brought her dresses back and put them into the closet. I then went to bed and waited for the show to begin.
