Horwell was so deep in sleep that he slept through the morning kaw of the loftwings. He Also slept through mia creeping into his room, and students darting through the hallways to finish their morning routines. He only awoke when he felt warm fur envelop his entire face...

"BLEH" he screamed, hopping out of bed, and Mia getting thrown off his face. He frantically ran out of the room as he got himself together and realized how late he was. It's bad to be late any day of the year, but today was the absolute worst considering it was first flight day for the new students. He threw on his robes and shoved his feet into his shoes... Only to discover that Mia had left him presents in his shoes.

He paused, and groaned in disgust. He quickly grabbed a worn out pair of flying boots, threw them on and ran out the door.

Link looked at the empy seat at their table with puzzlement. "Where's professor Horwell? Isn't he always supposed chaperone our table?" chaperone was a nicer way of putting that Gaepora didn't trust his Daughter enough to let her sit alone. She was always getting into mischief somehow.

"how should I know, silly?" she asked, starting to drum on her dish with her silverware. Link of course followed his little leader and joined in as well.

Speaking of the devil, in came Horwell, out of breath and terribly embarrassed.

"Instructor Horwell, what is the meaning of this? It's almost time to start class!"

"well sir...I" His thoughts were interrupted by the demented silverware duet.

"I..."

CLANGCLANGCLANGCLANG

"I...FOR THE LOVE OF DIN, WOULD YOU STOP THAT INFERNAL RACKET?"

Zelda immediately dropped her makeshift drumsticks and sat with hands folded, Like a little angel.

"well?" Gaepora asked eagerly, with an annoyed undertone.

"you see... I don't know why sir, but I was in such a deep sleep that I slept through the morning kaw and then ... " His voice grew quieter with embarrassment. "Mia defecated in my good flying boots-"

" I do not care if she defecated on your face, you should not have overslept!"

"oooooo he's in throubleeeee!" Zelda whispered to link, letting out a quit fit of giggles.

"Yes sir, You're right. I'm terribly sorry."

"Now, seeing as you never are late, I'll let it slide without further delay. First years have free time for the next half hour, class will begin then. All other students report to where you need to be.

"I'm bored of this alreadyyyyy!" Zelda yelled, throwing her paintbrush across the table. Link was happily painting a red loftwing and really didn't think painting was such a drag.

"Well, what else can we do Zelda?"

"hmmm..." the little girl thought out loud. "Let's play catch!"

"With what? Asked link. "I don't have a ball, and you don't either."

"Mia has a ball!"

The ball soared high in the air and made it's way down to link, who then gently tossed it to Zelda. She chucked it with all her might and it flew over the instructor Horwell, who was lecturing his students on the basics of flying a loftwing.

"you two are going to have to play inside, it is CRITICAL that my students have no distractions!" he said firmly.

Link nodded his head vigorously and ran off.

"and don't you two even THINK about playing catch inside! Athletic activities are strictly off limits in doors!" he called after them.

" I think I have a deck of cards under my bed" said link. "Or maybe we can do a puzzle…"

"We are going to play catch." said Zelda, in a very nonchalant way.

"But... We aren't supposed to" Link stuttered. Instructor Horwell said so."

"I don't care what he says. My daddy pays him to teach. He's not the boss of me!"

"Allllright…." Sighed Link. He knew this was one battle he was never going to win. He accepted defeat and started playing.

A few hours went by, and Link felt as though they really shouldn't be doing this. "Zelda, I think we might get in trouble." He admitted. "I feel like something bad is going to happen…"

"Link, quit being such a baby!" She yelled. "What could go wrong?" She threw the ball down with all her might.

At that moment Mia trotted in, and saw the ball flying through the air. It bounced around uncontrollably until it flew out the window and started to fall into the clouds below. Mia revved up her engines and leaped out the window after it, causing Zelda to let out a blood curdling scream.

"Alright students, this is just a basic hover technique." He called out to them, with his loftwing hovering in front of them. They were stationary in the air, eagerly awaiting further instruction. "Stay in a squat position with your feet planted on the center of your loftwings back, like so!"

He examined each of them and called out adjustments to each student. Once everyone was doing it correctly, he began the next portion. "Now we're going to circle around skyloft a few times, single file after me. You're going to spring out of the squatting position, let your bottom fall onto it's back, plant your feet in its sides, lean forward, pull the reigns and let out a low whistle, to let it know not to go too fast! On the turns, lean your body to the direction your plan to go!"

He did just as he explained and began to fly smoothly through the air, just as he had demonstrated. His students followed, their hair blowing in the wind, the clouds miles below them, and never feeling so alive. The nervously, and excitedly flew after their instructor who was being very vigilant and proud. "Now pull the reigns low and lean lower on your loftwings. We're going to dip under the school!" he yelled out behind him.

"There!" He yelled "Isn't this just Fantastic!"

At that moment, mia fell from the sky, grabbed onto his face, and was full of fear. "MIA! WHAT ON EARTH! GET OF I CANT SEEEE!" His loftwing started flying out of control, along with his students. "GET OFF GET OFF GET OFF!" The more he pulled on the cat, the deeper she dug, and the more obnoxious her hissing and screeching became. He continued to erratically fly until he crashed right into Rupin's living room.

The entire group of students who havent fully grasped landing yet also crashed into the house, making a big heap of feathers.

"My...mymymymymy...Oh my godess, MY ANTIQUES!" The large woman shrieked. "YOU IDIOT!" she screamed, whacking the instructor in the head with her fan, which her fat fingers were grasping for dear life. "You will be paying me back for every loss i have suffered! GET UP! and get these filthy children and birds out of here! I swear, your boss wil be hearing about thisssss!" she screamed, running out of the giant hole in her home and making a mad dash for the academy.

Horwell, who was covered in scuff marks and bruises, limped into Gaepora's office as the angry obease maiden made her way out. She gave him the fart stare as she did so.

He sat down, and avoided looking into Gaepora's eyes. "I dont know what to say sir, today was a mess..."

"I know you are a lot better of a flyer than this. Just calmly explain to me why I owe this woman 3,000 rupees."

"Well headmaster, the lesson was going beautifully, untill Zelda's cat came out of no where and attached herself to my face! I couldnt see a thing, and my loftwing became started. I did whatever I could, but i just couldnt stop this from happening."

"But why would Mia fall out of the window?"

There was someone standing in the doorway, and they both stopped to see who it was. It was one of the Air knights who flew around Skyloft, stopping anyone from falling to their death and who basically watched over the surrounding skies. "Hello sir, I dont mean to inturrupt, but I'm just letting you know that my shift ended and I'm heading home." He said, removing his goggles. "Ah, before I forget!" He said, scooping a pink ball out of his pocket. "I caught this close to the surface world when I was on patroll today. I thought it might belong to your little girl or her cat."

Gaepora and Horwell looked at eachother with suspicion, untill the headmasters attention was brought to hallway. He saw a mess of exadgerated yellow curls pushing link down the hallway into her room, who was clutching the school's cookie jar with a rather nervous look. She turned her head towards his office, to see if the coast was clear, with a big cookie hanging out of her mouth. realizing she was cought, she immediately let the cookie fall to the ground, and let out a big, fake smile and stopped shoving Link.

Her gave her an ill look. "Both of you come here, now."

They trotted in and sat down in front of his desk nervously. "Now Link, my boy, why are you holding that cookie jar?"

"Zelda told me to" He said honestly. She immediately shot him a nasty look.

"And Zelda, why did you make him take it?"

"I was just having a snack..." she said casually, flashing he daddy a bashfull, angelic smile.

"Now pudding, you know we did not even have lunch yet. and you know that the jar stays in the kitchen."

"Yes sir...I'm sorry" she said, trying to sound as innocent as she possibly could.

"Enough of this cookie talk though. Link, you may go to your room. Zelda, why did Mia fall out the window?"

"I have no idea!"

"I'm not falling for this." he said out of frustration. "You know exactly why she fell, and you will tell me. If you tell me now, your punishment will be much lighter"

"Alright...She fell because we were playing ball. her ball bounced out the window and she went after it."

"I see..." he said, rubbing his chin. "It seems as though you made a lot of bad choices today, my little bird."

"I believe proper punishment is in order sir. follow through, or she will never learn!" demanded Horwell. Mia then casually plopped onto his lap and curled up into a ball.

"I agree. Well Zelda, I think you arent nearly responsible enough for a cat yet. I guess that's partly something I caused...But from now on, Mia is no longer allowed to stay in your room."

"That's right!" Horwell exclaimed, turning to her face her.

"From now, she will stay in Instructor Horwell's room. We will move her jungle gym into his room"

"Take that! Wait...WHAT?" He screeched, hoping out of his seat. "What do you mean? WHY?"

"Well it seems to me that she has really taken a liking to you."

Zelda burst into tears and ran out of the room and headed towards Links room, and Horwell burst into a screaming fit.

"Stop this belly aching before I make my daughter move into your room instead!"

With that Horwell shut his mouth and gathered his composure. "Yes sir..."

"Zelda, that's why you should be a good girl and listen to directions" said Link, taking a bite of the cookie he managed to sneak down his shirt before the jar was taken from him. "I listen, so I never get in trouble!"

"Oh shut it!" She shouted, shoving him in the arm. "Dont be such a goody goody!"

"I'm sorry about your cat though. Are you still sad?"

She sat and pondered for a moment. "Nope. I never even wanted a cat."

Authors note

Well there you have it. chapter two.

I wanted to try and do something a little more upbeat than the first chapter.

And idky, but I imagine Zelda (as a little girl) to wear her hair in rags at night to get big curls, like many girls did for centuries.

I think my next chapter is going to be the first day of school for them...and we'll meet little groose lmao.

But dont you worry, theres plenty of sad stories coming up. especially one involving why pipit only has a mom. The chapter that involves the origin of the bathroom hand ghost is also going to be a sad one.

Also, i'm sorry about the delay, and i'm sorry i havent read anyone's stories! I've had an insane amount of school work (im a fashion design major) and I worked almost every day this week because my co worker has mono...not fun. hopefully i'll have time to read and write more this week!

Please read and review 3 it will mean the world to me!
