Zelda and I had been friends for about a year after I turned six. On my birthday, I had thought Wow! In one year, I will get to fly with the other kids in Skyloft! Groose will not make fun of me anymore!
I still had a year, though.
But, mother had tried to make time for me to fly. She knew how much I wanted it. So, she talked to her boss. And, she figured something out. Once, every two months, she could eat her lunch in the Plaza. So, I got about twenty minutes of flying in every couple months.
It wasn't the same, though. All the other ones went flying for hours a day. But, even when I was six, I knew I should not complain. So, I had kept my mouth shut.
And Zelda would continue to let me on her Loftwing for a couple of seconds once a week. She knew how much it had meant to me.
I loved having Zelda as a friend. We would play in the Plaza and around the floating island a lot. And a lot of times, she would ditch riding her Loftwing to come play with me. It was really fun having a best friend.
One day, we were hanging out by the windmill that was close to the bottom of the stairs of the Knight Academy. We were sitting on the soft, green eating our lunch and staring at the Knights flying by.
"Can you imagine that when we are thirteen we can start training to be like them?" Zelda asked me. She was in love with the idea of becoming a Knight.
"Yeah. Knight Academy will be a lot of fun!" I replied, biting into my bread.
"Link, you'll be the best Knight Skyloft has ever had!" She said laughing.
I was about to reply to that when another person's voice had cut me off.
Cawlin, Stitch, and Groose.
I always knew that one day I would cut down that mountain of hair on his head.
Groose had laughed. "Oh, you think this scrawny, little wimp could ever be a good Knight? Or even a Knight at all? He can't even make friends. He had to settle with being best friends with a girl!"
Him and his friends laughed. I had anger boiling inside me. And, when I thought he was going to leave, he hit me in the face. Then, he grabbed our lunch and threw it off the island. I looked over the edge and watched it fall down into the clouds.
"Why can't you leave us alone?" Zelda and I yelled in unison.
Groose and his buddies laughed and ran off to the Plaza.
"Are you okay? I looked like he really hurt you." Zelda said.
I put a hand to where Groose had hit me. "Yeah, I'll be fine. But now, we have no lunch. We barely even started eating."
She thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "Do you want some soup from the Lumpy Pumpkin? It will only be twenty rupees for the both of us and I have seven in my pouch now! That means we need to find thirteen more! It'll be easy; people drop rupees around Skyloft all the time."
I thought it was a good idea at first. Then, reality hit me and I told her, "But we aren't seven and I barely know how to ride a Loftwing!"
She laughed, "I have it covered, so don't worry about it. But we might need an extra five rupees, so make it eighteen."
"What is the extra five rupees for?" Soup for two was only twenty.
"You'll see. Now we will both look for nine rupees and meet in the Plaza once we have them. See you in a bit." She ran off to search for rupees.
I remember being really hungry, so I searched frantically. I had found five in my bank at home. After that, I had found four while smashing pumpkins. So, I left for the Plaza.
She was already there and had greeted me. Zelda had her nine rupees in her hand along with a big gray rock.
"Don't ask about the rock." Zelda then looked into the sky and finally said, "Over there!" and pointed.
I couldn't' see what it was because she grabbed my hand and ran to the Bazaar.
She gave me her rupees and threw the rock into the air. I watched it fly and hit Beedle's bell. A rope fell down.
She went to grab it and said, "Come on!"
I stuffed the rupees in my pouch and grabbed a hold of it, too. As we got up there, we went it.
He looked at us and sighed. "I do not have time for kids!" Zelda then reached into my pouch and grabbed a blue rupee.
"Can you please take us to the Lumpy Pumpkin?" She asked with her please for me face.
He couldn't say no. We began flying there. Once we were there, we got down and yelled a thank you. We then watched him fly off.
Zelda then turned to me and said, "Let's go get some soup!"
I had nodded in agreement. We ran to the front and went in.
I got all the rupees from my pouch and said, "Two pumpkin soups, please!"
The man eyed us, but then accepted the money and went to the back to fetch the soup.
I turned to Zelda and asked, "How did you come up with this?"
She laughed and said, "I am really smart."
By that time the man had come back with our soup. We took it and went back outside.
Zelda and I ate our soup back by the pumpkin patch. I thought finally! Lunch!
We sat there and talked for a while when a thought entered my head.
"Uhm, Zelda, I know you do not like it when I ask questions. But, we have no money left. How are we getting back to Skyloft?"
Her eyes shot wide open. "Uh oh!"
