(ShadowSilver's POV)

I rushed to where the Loftwings are getting ready. I tried looking for my Golden Loftwing in every single pen, but I couldn't find him everywhere. I placed my hand on my knees as they bent down and I panted like a dog and my heart was beating fast.

"Looking for your Loftwing, ShadowSilver?" A voice asked me. I looked up, It was Horwell, the long brown haired man, one of the Knight Academy's instructor and a great knowledge of animals, like Remlits.

"Oh! Horwell!" I said and laughed a bit. "Where's my Golden Loftwing?" I asked him.

"Well missy, I got him all set up for you for the ceremony today." he stated.

I looked at him with a surprised look on my face.

"Oh...well... Where is he?" I asked him again.

"He just took off flying all over the sky, so you might wanna call him before the race starts." Horwell stated.

"Ok. Thanks for letting me know!" I said and rushed out of the pen.

"Your welcome!" He called out.

I rushed to the edge of Skyloft and looked up at the sky to find my Loftwing. The sun was shining down on me that I couldn't see, until I saw a something familiar with gold feathers and wings far away. I realized that IS my Golden Loftwing!

"HEY! DOWN HERE!" I called out to him. he couldn't hear me because he is so far away, so I whistled with my fingers to get him to come to me. Then he looked at me and starts to fly towards me. I jumped of the edge until he catches me. He then got me as we got back on the edge. I jumped out of him, laughed a bit and bonding with him.

"There you are! I almost forgot about you and didn't know where you went." I said to him, rubbing his bottom beak.

"I guess Horwell just sended you off to the sky, Huh? But you know what? Today is going to be the best day of my life!" I told the bird.

"Squak!" He speaks in agreement.

"*Giggles* I knew you were gonna agree with me! After the race, I'm gonna be performing as a role of the goddess. I had the best life here in Skyloft, But after today... I am going to be moving to the Surface!" I told him excitedly.

"SQUAK!?" He speaks in a shock. I had to explain him why.

"I know it's crazy, But I want to start a new life down there where I can see new things and do stuff on my own or with my friends...Well *Chuckles then starts to mumble* Despite my records on the training and graduation. *Stops mumbling* Headmaster Gaepora gave me a chance." I explained to my bird. He turned his head on the right in confusion.

"He gave me the Silver rapier to prepare myself for danger." I explained.

"I wanted to feel what Zelda wants to feel and relive. I want to relive my new life after this life here in Skyloft. My mother told me when I was five that if I move down at the Surface, the light of the new beginning from her spirit or Goddess Hylia will be given to me. Can you understand that?" I asked him. He brushed my chin with his beak happily. I giggled and petted his beak with my right hand and hugged him, feeling his warmth of his body. He patted my back with his beak as well. Then I pulled away and looked at him with a smile.

"Let's get you ready for the race." I said as I grabbed his gold collar gently as he followed me. As we are on our way to the edge, a familiar voice from earlier called my name.

"SHADOWSILVER!" It was so loud, my ears almost starts to bleed. I looked and it was...Ugh! Groose again! Cawlin and Strich was there, too. I was started to get frustrated and pissed off.

I sighed in anger and annoyance. "Not you guys again!" I yelled at them in so, much anger and annyonce. Ugh! I can't stand them!

"The ceremony is about to begin..." Groose said as he panted heavily. I looked shocked at him. Is it time already?

"Really?" I asked him. He, including Cawlin and Strich all nodded fast. I squealed in excitement! It's time for the ceremony to begin!

"Yes!" I squealed excitedly. Groose and the boys covered their ears as my voice was loud.

"Goddess, woman! CALM DOWN!" Cawlin raised his voice angerly.

"Sorry... I'm just really excited! I just can't wait to-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Win the race, perform as the role of the goddess, wanting to move down to the Surface, Blah, blah, blah. yada, yada. We know." Strich cutted me off.

"I just can't wait to plan of moving tomorrow after today. And Groose, don't even think of annoying me, now becau-" I was gonna tell Groose why he shouldn't annoy me on this perfect day until he interrupted me.

"I know! Cannot fall in love with someone you don't even know and never met, but only when you truly no them, blah blah blah... Look, I'll make a deal with you." He said.

I raised my right brow at him with confusion. What is the deal what he wants to make?

"At the race, if I win, I will prove you wrong about falling in love at first sight when you meet someone!"

I was shocked at his words then angry with him. I told him a bunch of times already!

"But..." He said. I was anxious at the red haired dude.

"But what?" I asked him.

"If you win, me and my buddies will never annoy you about love at first sight and you can prove us wrong that you only fall in love with any men you truly know." Groose stated. Is he serious?

"If YOU win... All of this will stop." He stated it again.

I thinked for a moment... Is he really going to stop annoying me with love at first sight if I win? I don't believe any of this!

I looked at him and asked "Are you really going to stop if I win?"

"Yes, dear." He answered until Strich smacked his arm for the second time. Groose groaned in pain and looked at Strich with anger on his face and his nose scrunched up.

"STRICH! The second time you do this!" He growled at him.

"You idiot! Why did you decide not to tell her about love at first sight if she wins?" Strich asked him in murmuring tone.

"Because she is more sassier than Zelda!" Groose stated about my sassy behavior towards him like Zelda had. It was pretty insulting.

"Hey!" I yelled at him, stamped my right foot in anger.

"I think she heard you." Cawlin whispers loudly. Groose then smacks him in the head.

"Ow! What the- WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" The blue haired shouted in pain.

"You were tattletaling me that she heard me that she is-"

"Sassy like Zelda?!" I cutted Groose off with my hands on my hips.

"I-uh-n- Never mind what I said. Ok? I feel kinda bad for you about love at first sight with someone you never knew." He said. I looked at him like 'What?'. Is he really serious?

"Are you serious with me?" I asked him.

"Yes! So if you win, I'll stop talking about it. Have we got a deal?" He asked and held his left hand, waiting for a hand shake.

I thinked for 5 seconds, And then I smirked at him. I decided to agree with the deal he made. I just hope I win so he can stop with the love at first sight stuff that I don't need to hear about all the time!

"...You got a deal!" I said and slammed my hand onto Groose's as we shook hands. We both smirked at each other.

"I knew you would agree!" He said and squeezed my hand so hard, I felt it almost broke.

"Ow!" I yelled in pain as Groose letted go of my hand. Then I heard the bell rang.

"Attention students of the Knight Academy! The Wing Ceremony has officially began! Racers to the edge to race with your Loftwings!" The voice of Gaepora announced. The Wing Ceremony has began! My hand is still in pain after Groose squeezed it after the hand shake. My voice is breaking from all that pain as I winced. I cringed a bit.

"The race is about to begin! See you at the edge, ShadowSilver!" Groose Shouted as he, Cawlin and Strich rushed to the starting line. I stood still like an idiot, feeling in pain in my hand still and cringed.

"Yeah, Sure..." I winced in pain and putted my mouth on my hand to heal the pain as I walked quickly to the edge of Skyloft.
