Disclaimer: I own nothing!
When we were eight

I had to admit. Growing up with Groose was difficult. Especially, when we were this age and Groose would constantly make fun of me because my best friend is a girl. Now he doesn't, but that's beside the point. I am talking about when I was eight. He would tease me every day about being best friends with a girl. But when I was five, no one told me that girls supposedly were a species that were gross and that they were not allowed to play with each other. The only gross species I knew of was Groose and his little colleagues. But nevertheless, Groose bullied me days after days, weeks after weeks, months after mon-
Well, you get the point.
And it was not always being best friends with Zelda. Other times, it would be about my clothes or my home. And a lot of times, he would laugh about how scrawny I was. He would hit me, kick me, push me, and the occasional throw me in to the river. At the time, I was very surprised he never threw me off the edge of Skyloft.
The only thing that could cheer me up was being with Zelda. She was my best friend. We were so close.I loved being around her.
One day, Groose sent me over the edge. Oh, I was not mad. I was furious. He would not stop saying things about me. And that is when I hit him. I didn't do much damage, but it was enough for him to say
"You're going to pay for that, you little rat!"
I ran as fast as I could. I didn't know where I wanted to go exactly, so I decided on this little island Zelda and I found when we were exploring. I set course for there. I ran through the Bazaar. I looked back and saw Groose's hair flopping around. So, I tried to pick up speed. I left the Bazaar and ran into Pipit.
"Ow. Link, watch whe-" Pipit said before I interrupted him.
"Groose is coming! Distract him!" I yelled at him, and then kept running.
"What am I supposed to do? Oh, hello, Groose!" I heard him say. I stopped and looked back and saw him showing something from his pouch to Groose. He was clearly getting annoyed with Pipit. Groose began to look around for me. So, I kept running.
I finally found the eastern jump off. I ran off and called for my Loftwing. While in the air, I looked for Groose. He was behind me!
I was getting worried. It looked like he would catch up. I then looked ahead and saw one of the ring shaped rocks that had energy building inside the middle of it.
I had heard that if a person were to fly through one, they could reach a high speed and get to their destination faster. Knights use them all the time. And my destination was a little far from me. So, it seemed like a good idea.
But, I had also heard never to try that without advanced training and learning. It could be dangerous. And the only training I had ever received at the time was from Zelda, and she was not advanced.
So I had two choices: not take the fast way, let Groose catch up with me, have him throw things at me, and possibly fall towards the clouds. Or, take the fast way, risked falling off, experience speeds I had never felt before, and possibly falling through the clouds.
If I knew anything that day, it was that I was going to get away from Groose the fun way. I soared towards the ring of energy. I looked back at Groose, who was still charging at me. I took the chance and flew through.
I screamed at the top of my lungs. I held on to my Loftwing for dear life. When I regained normal speed, I looked back and Groose was not there. Then I looked down and realized I was about twenty feet above my destination. So I jumped off. I hit the ground with a thud.
Thoughts raced through my head. Ow, my head. Whoa that was cool! Did I break anything? I need to do that again!
"I was wondering when you would show up!" said a girl voice coming from behind me.
I stood up and turned around and saw my best friend glaring at me.
"Hey, Zelda!" I replied.
"Where have you been?"
I thought about what I could have been late for. And remembered. We had scheduled a picnic the day before.
"Oh, well I was getting food," I said under pressure.
"Where is it?"
"Dropped it."
"Link, I know you forgot. I saw Groose chasing you off the side of Skyloft. You came rushing here in hopes to get away. You did a good job getting away. But you didn't expect me to be here. "
"Zelda, I am so sorry I forgot."
"Oh, don't be. I am not mad."
"But you looked mad."
"Acting."
We laughed.
"But I am really happy you came, Link"
"Why?"
Zelda pulled some paper out of her pouch. "We need to update our map of the Sky."
We sat down on the grass and started to draw islands we had recently seen on it. Then, I ran out of ink.
"Hey, Zelda, do you have any ink?"
"Yeah, here." She handed it to me and our hands touched. We stayed in that position for a few seconds, but we didn't lock eyes. She then let go and didn't say much after that. I did happen to notice though that she had pink tinted on her cheeks.

Another chapter, done! Tell me what you think. I think I could have done better, but I am really tired. And I am not creative when I am tired.
