Bonjour tout le monde! Last chapter? Say WHAT? Yes, this is the last chapter, however, there will be an epilogue. And then, drumroll please!

GROWING UP WITH A BOY NAMED LINK!

Get excited! I will try to have it up by the end of May, but if it is not up by then, the release date will be in late June! Be on the lookout! AHH!

This memory is from the day of the Wing Ceremony, and I don't remember all of the lines, nor do I want to look them up because it would take too long. So I am going to improvise! And the original is so long, I am cutting some pieces out. And I am putting my own spin on it.

I own nothing!

When we were seventeen

LINKS POV

Would you say that bad things always happen to good people?

Or only to bad people as a source of karma?

Perhaps, things don't happen for a reason at all. They just happen.

But this was destiny. Fate. Prophecy.

It definitely happened for a reason, no doubt.

But why did it have to hurt so bad? Why was she taken away so abruptly? What was going on? Why was this happening to us?

As I said, destiny.

I was having a strange dream. Someone telling me to awaken?

Zelda's Loftwing, who spit a letter upon me, then awaked me. I stood up and opened the letter.

Hey, Sleepyhead!

I know how much you love to sleep, so I am guessing this is your alarm clock this morning. Am I right?

Rise and shine, Link! Today is the Wing Ceremony! You promised to meet with me before it started, remember?

You'd better not keep me waiting, Link!

-Zelda

I had forgotten about meeting her. I slid on some shoes and left the room, only to run into Fledge. He needed help moving barrels. So, I helped him and received a red rupee.

I headed up to the Statue of the Goddess, where Zelda was located. She was playing her harp, an it sounded beautiful.

"Oh, Link!" Zelda greeted me smiling. Ever since what happened when we were sixteen, we had made up but nothing special ever happened.

"Today is the Wing Ceremony! You must be so excited!" she told me.

"Yeah," I started. "I'm really worried."

"Link, you'll do fine!" she smiled. "Look at my outfit! I made it for the Wing Ceremony! I am the goddess today!"

"Nice…costume?"

"What is that supposed to mean? I worry, worked really hard on this!"

I laughed. "Sorry, Zelda! I'm just really nervous about today…"

Zelda took my hand and dragged me to the platform. "What are you doing, Zelda?"

"You need to practice, Link!"

"I don't sense my Loftwing!"

"Oh, you don't 'sense' your Loftwing? Yeah, go!" Then, she pushed me off.

I tried whistling, but my bird wasn't coming. I just continued to fall through the sky.

Zelda was watching and jumped down. She called her Loftwing and it flew beneath her. The bird caught me by its feet and flew me up to Skyloft.

"Link! I am so sorry! I should have believed you!" She started. "You need to find your bird and find it before the Wing Ceremony. I'll warn my father!"

I knew someone had to have tied him up somewhere. Someone like,

Groose.

He was at the Plaza, I knew. I ran down there to face him. When I got there, I heard him thanking his friends for tying up a red bird. They then complained that it was too hard of a job.

"Quiet! It had to be done! Now, I can win and have that-" he turned around and saw me!

"Link! About how long have you been standing there?"

"Save it Groose! Where is my Loftwing?" I demanded.

"Oh, you think you're actually racing today? Ha! You think you can win? Don't even stand a chance!"

"Bring it on! Let the best man win!" I dared.

"Considering you're barely a guy, I will win."

"And what's that supposed to mean?"

"What guy relies on best friend that's a girl to make all of his decisions? You can't even decide what to eat for lunch on your own, can you? And you don't let anyone forget how you and Zelda go way back. But today when I win," he turned back around. "it will be Zelda and I having our special moment together." Groose then turned back around to find Zelda standing next to me and gasped in surprise.

"What do you mean 'our special moment'?" Zelda inquired.

She continued and pointed her index finger in her hand. "You pick on Link all of the time and need to stop!"

"Well," he started while smiling and breathing heavily. "I suppose…"

"Suppose what?" Zelda demanded.

Groose scowled, "Nothing! I was supposing nothing!" And with that he left.

Zelda turned to me. "If anyone has something to do with hiding your Loftwing, it's him! I heard from someone that your bird was heard screeching from the waterfall cave!"

"But you need something to cut through the opening at the entrance of the cave!"

We thought for a moment, and then she had it. "Go borrow the wooden sword from the Sparring Hall! And then you could bring it right back!"

"Okay, I will do that," I concluded.

"What are you waiting on? Go!" So I ran on the path to the Academy. I did grab some stamina fruit on the way.

I burst through the doors at the Sparring Hall and demanded to use the sword. After I explained my situation, the instructor let me borrow it.

And once again, I tore through the village of Skyloft. After all, I didn't have much time until the Wing Ceremony started. My chance to compete was hanging on a feather.

I jumped on the stepping stones across the lake and made it up to the cave opening. I then cut down the trees (A/N I have no idea what those were). I cut through the bats and ChuChus that got in my way and eventually made it through the cave.

By the time I got outside, Zelda dropped off of her Loftwing and joined me.

"Link, I hear your Loftwing!" she looked like she was going to continue but seemed to get distracted.

"Did you hear that, Link?"

I shook my head.

"Never mind! Let's go!"

We ran to the end of the path and found him boarded up. Zelda looked like she was in shock. I ran up and cut down the planks. He then soared out and flew through the sky. I ran to the edge and watched him fly.

I looked at Zelda and she looked distracted again. "Did you hear it that time? No? Well, I must be hearing things."

"I should probably get going, Zelda"

"Wait!" she stopped me. "Do you think there is a world below the clouds? Or are we the only life form? Perhaps, you can't fall through the clouds? Or maybe it's a hole of never ending falls?"

I thought about it.

"Never mind, me, Link!" she said quickly. "Go! I'll meet you there!"

I flew to the Plaza and listened to the rules. We then began the competition and it wasn't fair. I wasn't expecting it to be fair, anyways. They threw eggs and hit my bird with theirs. But I pulled through and won.

Zelda saw it and jumped down on my Loftwing.

"Good job, Link," she told me. "Go to the statue."

We went up there and I received my blessing. I was then pushed off with my new sailcloth. But I stuck the landing.

"Good job, Link! I'm very happy you won!" she said.

"Well, thanks. You know, for the support," I replied.

Zelda blushed. "You know, with it being such a good day, and with the weather being so nice, do you want to go flying?"

"I'd love to," I replied smiling. We ran off the nearest platform and began to fly.

We flew around and talked.

"Link?" I turned my head to face her.

"What?" The last thing I said to her.

"I just wanted to congratulate you again. You did really good, and I'm really proud. I need to tell you something. I-"

A dark tornado formed in the sky. It was no ordinary storm. I flew up, only to look down and see Zelda being sucked in!

"HELP! LINK!" Her hand went up and I almost had it before a giant wind blew up and knocked me away.

I was knocked unconscious.

And I haven't seen her since.

I never told her how I really feel. I love her. And one day, I will save her and tell her how I really feel. I swear to it.

Okay, so this chapter isn't original. I get that! But, hey, Link actually talked. So, yay? Last chapter! Well, next is the epilogue and then this is over! But remember, Growing Up With a Boy Named Link will be coming soon!
