Link was waiting all day for a reply. He played in the dirt with a stick, drawing funny pictures. He drew a picture of Groose in a dress, (that one was his favourite), one of Stritch catching a bug, and one of Fledge doing a push-up. There was nothing to do, no one to talk to, and he began to crave Zelda's company. She always made him laugh, woke him up. He was starting to forget the feeling of life with her around. Things weren't like they were two days ago, or even three weeks ago. Right now, he didn't have to go where Zelda was, and he didn't have Impa telling him where to go next. This time, he didn't know where to look for Ghirahim. Expecting him to come to back to the Sealed Temple was the only thing to do. He couldn't sleep for long, and he couldn't leave the spot. He worked on their house for a bit, fixing it up.

Zelda's letter didn't come until around noon, and he jumped at sight of her response. He gently tore open the envelope.

"Dear Link,

Skyloft is the same as ever before. There hasn't been much excitement here for a while from what I've heard of. I know that Fledge has a girlfriend! Isn't that cute? It's the girl from the Lumpy Pumpkin. Do you remember her? Oh, and I think that Pipit's going to propose to Karane! She said that he wanted to start a life with her, but don't tell her I told you. I don't think she knows that he might ask her to get married. The Wing Ceremony is today, and Groose, Fledge, Cawlin, and Stritch are participating this year. The Goddesses role is going to be played by Orielle. It's kind of weird thinking about someone playing the role of who I used to be. Now that I know that I'm her, of course. I think I will be going back to school, just to keep me occupied. That's all I know right now. I really miss you. It's not the same without you here. Write me back whenever you can!

-Zelda"

A lot of love stories are running through Skyloft. Link never really was a part of that love stuff since he was fine the way he was. Zelda never told him about any of her crushes, so he just assumed she didn't have any. He would be way too protective if anyone was going to break Zelda's heart in a case like that. He knows that Groose has, or had a crush on her before. Link never was fond over him, and was afraid he could hurt her but over the journeys; he proved to Link that he's trustworthy, so it doesn't really bother him anymore. As long as she was okay, he was okay. Kind of like a best friend rule.

Now that Zelda's letter came back, Link knew he should go inside the Sealed Temple and watch over the Master Sword there. As he made his way, he thought about all the things Zelda told him. Pipit and Karane getting married? Fledge getting a girlfriend? It was all too weird. Everyone he knew since he was little was growing up so fast, faster than him. Zelda and he were never prepared for getting married or being loved. They had bigger things to worry about, more to care for. He thought about how he is turning into an adult soon, whether the two of them liked it or not. He finally reached in the Temple, and leaned against the sword, and slowly closed his eyes. He felt the need to daydream a bit further on this. Shouldn't he be getting ready to grow up? To think about life from here on out? Did he want to live on the Surface forever? Or move back to Skyloft? Was everyone going to move to the Surface? Was he ever going to get married and start a family? He really didn't have any plans. He never did, he just did things for the time being. Zelda was the opposite. She always thought about the future, and had a plan for everyday for the rest of her life. Link loved that about her, the way she was ready for anything.

A sound made Link spin around, in fighting position. He'd recognize that chime anywhere, Ghirahim. He was holding on to the Sword, leaning his head on his arm. "You again." Link just ignored his remark.

"Forget it; you can't get your Master back."

"Where is she?" He started to circle around Link.

"She's gone; you can't get to her anymore. It's too late." He told him.

"That sounds like a challenge. They said I couldn't get my way out of the Master Sword, but here I am. They said I couldn't get back my Master. I did." He stopped at Link's shoulders, breathing heavily on his neck. "I can find her."

"Okay, try. I dare you."

"Oh silly boy, I can get her if I want." He wrapped his arms around his waist. "And I know what I want."

Link shook from his grip and turned back towards him. "You can't resurrect your Master without her, no matter how much you want. And she's gone, so you're out of luck. I bet your Master wouldn't be happy if you woke him up without her."

"Maybe if you tell me, I won't kill her, or you. Maybe."

"You can take my life away, but I will never tell you where she is."

"Foolish child; risking your own life for that girl. She's depressing to look at, so small and weak. Without the soul of Hylia, she is nothing. Why do you insist on fighting for her? Please, don't tell me you love her. That's just too sad." Link lowered his eyebrows, not impressed with his insults.

A sword appeared in Ghirahim's hand, and Link took out one of his own. He brought the one from the Knight Academy when he and Zelda first moved here. He took potions, a shield, and the sword in case something like this ever happened. "You think you can defeat me with that? It's pathetic. You barely made it through with the Master Sword, and you think you can get anywhere with that toy?" He laughed.

"Let's test that theory." Link started to slash away at Ghirahim's body, with him doing nothing but dodging. Link knew that Ghirahim wasn't as strong as he made himself look, so Link would do the same as he did before. He would hit wherever caught Ghirahim off guard. Ghirahim followed Link's patterns, and where Link's arm was, he would focus on. If Link could just quickly change his orientation, he could harm Ghirahim, without him knowing what's going on. He faced the sword from the right side, noticing his beady eyes following it, but immediately switched to the left side, sliding right. Managing a hit on Ghirahim, he knew that this would work. Link continuously did so, and Ghirahim was soon on the ground, as he had fallen. He jumped back up, and sliced back at Link. Link crouched away, and swiped his sword at the diamond patterned feet. Ghirahim fell backwards, and Link did his special jump, and a fatal blow. Ghirahim was whining underneath him, but Link waited until Ghirahim was weak. Link hopped back, and was expecting Ghirahim to go away.

"I'll be back. You were lucky this time, child although this wasn't the last time, I tell you. Just make sure the girl is here."

"Hmph." He never learns. He watched as Ghirahim disappeared with another snap of his fingers. Link couldn't believe Ghirahim thought that he is in love with Zelda. They were just friends, why couldn't anyone see that? Link would never, he hasn't even imagined being good enough to go out with her. She was too important, and perfect, he thought as he imagined her. She was beautiful, with her glowing blonde hair, and her daring, sky-colored eyes. Her perfectly shaped body, tall and thin. Her determined attitude, and her strong, kind personality. Not to mention her overgrowing smarts, and wisdom. She was really perfect… He shook his head out of thought, since knew he was no match for someone as amazing as her. Link was just the guy who tried to help out, the guy who was lazy. She could never see him as more than a best friend, and he knew that. It's not like he would want her too anyways, it was just awkward. They were best friends, and that's it, he reassured himself.

Now, back to reality, he remembered. Link needed to figure out a plan on how to destroy Ghirahim once and for all. He couldn't deal with this forever. He couldn't use the Master Sword this time, since it was too dangerous. Figuring out a way around the sword would be tricky. Was there any other weapon he could use?
