58A Fairy's Tale
Chapter 5: Ah, to be Human
Navi looked down at her hands yet again. She wiggled her fingers and fondled her hair. She had been transformed nearly an hour ago and still she was amazed at all the new things she could do. When she had exited the Great Fairy's chambers she had seen her reflection in the water and nearly fainted. She did not look at all like she had expected.
Her new appearance was quite attractive. She had very long, blue hair that was very wavy and had a mind of its own. She was tall and slender and had the perfect curves in all the right spots. Not that she really knew this, for she had been in the form of a fairy all her life. Her eyes were purple and stood out among all other eyes. Her figure was perfect, her face so feminine. She would attract any man in his right mind.
The only evidence of her being a fairy was her wings. They were very beautiful, although they were not the angel type of wings. She still had her fairy abilities as well, but being human made it all seem so different.
Navi liked being human, she still had to get the hang of walking and basic movements like that, but overall it was worth it. Farore said that as soon as she could walk and such she could be on her way back home to Link. Navi was excited that she would live the next two months as a human.
Her only concern was Link. She didn't know what to expect, what would his reaction be? She had hoped that he would see her differently when she returned to him. Little did she know how the male body worked…
Navi stood outside of Link's house trying with all her might not to shake. She was so nervous. Calm down girl, it's Link. You two were best friends before you were summoned, she told herself. Right as she finished her thought Pixon came flying out of the tree house.
"Navi, is that you?"
She nodded.
"You look beautiful."
"Thank you. I could only hope that Link will think so to."
"How could he not? Is this the plan that The Great Fairy and Farore came up with?"
"Yes, I am to be human for two months. If Link falls in love with me then I am to remain human forever and I will loose my fairy abilities. Also, I will never be allowed to visit Fairies Fountain again. It will be as if I were banished."
"If I were in your position, I don't think I could handle it. Good luck, Navi."
"Goodbye, Pixon."
Pixon flew towards the Fairies Fountain as Navi stood in the grass alone. She was facing away from the tree house for she had watched Pixon fly away.
Link climbed down the ladder that allowed him to set foot on the ground. He saw a girl with her back towards him looking into the sky. He had remembered that Navi was to be home today and he thought that this girl might have new for him.
"Excuse me."
Navi turned around and she immediately got the goose bumps. There he is.
"I was wondering if you had any news of my fairy, Navi, she was supposed to return home today."
"Yes, I do have news of your fairy.
Navi didn't know whether or not she should tell him that she was his fairy. She wanted to tell him so badly, but then again she was scared of rejection. What if he doesn't like me as a human?
Link saw a faint glitter of light behind her back and he strained his eyes in an attempt to figure out what it was. Navi noticed this and she watched him as his eyes opened in realization.
"Are you a fairy?" He asked.
"Yes, I am," Navi said as she turned to the side so he could see her wings.
She was standing with her back facing me before. Why had I not seen them then? Link thought. He had a point, why didn't he see her wings then?
"I didn't know that fairies could take on the form of a human, besides the Great Fairy."
"They cannot," she said, "but I am an exception." She prayed that Link would figure out that she was his Navi, but to her dismay he did not.
"What news of my fairy do you bring me?"
"Your fairy, she is, uh, been called upon to take care of something else. The Great Fairy has requested that she stayed with her at the Fairies Fountain," Navi said. Shit, what in the hell am I supposed to do now?
She couldn't get it out of her mouth that she was his fairy. She froze up; she didn't want to be rejected. If she was she would surly never love again.
"What is your name, fairy?"
"Uh, my name," Navi said, "My name is Ravi. I am to be your new guardian fairy."
"My new guardian fairy? I was fine with my old one, I do not wish to have a new one."
"I understand, but she, you must understand…"
"I do not care to understand," Link said climbing back up his ladder.
Navi stood alone once again, until a minute later Link appeared, "So are you coming in or not?"
She nodded.
Once she entered his house she saw her old bed on the shelf. I won't fit there anymore, she thought.
"I don't know where you will sleep," Link said, "I only have one bed."
"I'll sleep on the floor," Navi said.
"No, it's okay," Link said, "I'll sleep on the floor."
"No, I will."
"No you will not. You are a lady and you will sleep on the bed."
Navi did not argue with him, but only sat onto his bed and sighed.
Never had Link offered her his bed before; not that there was a need. This was the first time Link recognized her as something else, other than a fairy. Even though he didn't know it was her, she felt happy on the inside.
He took off his shirt, like he did before he went to bed every night, but this time Navi felt something she had never felt before. Yes, she had looked at him before and thought 'oh how handsome', but this time it was different. She couldn't experience this type of feeling when she was a fairy. Her gut was tied in knots and she had the growing sensation of butterflies in her stomach.
Link turned out the lights, and rolled over onto his side.
"Link, I'm so sorry," Navi said.
"Don't be sorry. It's not your fault that you were assigned to be my new guardian. Besides, I'm not mad at you."
"I'm glad."
"But you must understand that no other fairy can take the place Navi had in my heart. She will always be my fairy, even now, when she is no longer with me. I will always love her no matter what."
Navi opened her eyes. Did he just say love?
"Goodnight, Ravi."
"Goodnight, Link."
Navi lie awake in bed, not able to sleep. So if I had told him that I was Navi he would have been okay with it? I don't know what to do. I am so confused. Maybe I'll figure something out tomorrow…
"I am with you, Link. I will always be with you…" Navi whispered before she fell into a deep sleep.
Link may have loved Navi, but it couldn't be the romantic love that Navi wish he had for her. He couldn't see her that way, and now that it was possible, she made him blind to the truth.
