Chapter 3- Doctor Uli

The bright orange sun was just rising above the horizon when Link awoke the next morning. He had let Pit sleep on his couch while he slept on his bed in the loft. After dressing, he silently walked past the sleeping angel and out the door. The young man was headed to Colin's house, to seek medicinal advice from his mother, Uli. When he knocked on the wooden door, Colin opened it.

"Hi, Link!" he greeted cheerfully. "I want to be just like you. That's why I got up early like you always do."

Link smiled at the ten-year-old boy. "Do you know where your mother is? I have a question for her," he said.

"Oh, come in, I'll go get her." Colin raced away to get his mother as Link entered the house.

"Yes, Link, what can I do for you?" Uli asked, coming out.

"Well, I have this pet duck," he began, holding in a snicker. "And the thunder burnt its wing. I was wondering if you knew what I should do to make it better."

"Well, if you bring it here, I'll see what I can do," Colin's mother answered pleasantly.

"No, No No! I can't do that!" Link burst out. When Uli and Colin stared at him in confusion, he quickly said, "Um, he doesn't like women -weird little thing- cuz he gets scared of them. So if you just tell me what to do....."

"Okay," Uli told him. "I'll be right back." She was back in a moment with a jar of purple liquid and a bandage roll. "This works on any burn," she told him, handing him the jar. "Just put it on his wing and bandage it up. He should be better in no time." She then handed him the bandage roll.

"Thank you," Link told her, accepting the medicine and bandage. Then he headed home.

Ilia skipped up happily to Link's house. "I'm going to wake him up, that sleepy head," she told herself, as she headed for the door. When she tried the knob, it wouldn't budge. "Funny, he never locks his door." She knocked on it and knocked on hit until her knuckles turned red. "Maybe he's still asleep. I'll climb up and look through the window of his loft." So after a climb, she was at the window. She noticed Link's unmade bed that he was not in. Then something caught her eye. On the first floor, she noticed someone with brown hair, and funny outfit, and one white wing and one black wing! Ilia was so shocked, she could hardly speak. She slipped from her perch and landed with a thud in the golden grass. She stood up, brushing herself off, and started running. "Daddy!" she yelled.

When Link re-entered his house, Pit was lying on the couch, reading a book with a green leather cover. The title on it was, "Link's Diary". "GACK!" Link exclaimed when he noticed what the angel was reading. He put down the medicine supplies and quickly rushed over.

"Wow, who is this creep named Ilia who you absolutely hate?" Pit asked, his eyes still fixed on the diary. "And who is this mysterious Zelda who you write so many nice things about?" A big smile appeared upon his face as he read further. "It says here that you 'adore her and long to be her sweetheart'!" He started laughing hysterically. Link grabbed for his book, trying so hard to shut the angel up. "Oooo, and you desire a kiss from her sweet lips!" he read on, holding tight to the diary. "Hahaha! I love comedy!"

"Give me that!" Link exclaimed, snatching it away from laughing Pit.

"Haha, who is this Zelda?" Pit inquired.

Link sighed dreamily. "I once got the privilege of fighting side-by-side with her. She's the princess of Hyrule and she is very beautiful."

"Oooh, seems like you have a crush!" Pit exclaimed. "Me? I'm always going to be single. Anyways, did you find out anything from the doctor?"

Link brought the medicine and bandage to him. "I'll have to bandage your wing up," he told him.
