Hey everyone! Right now I'm kinda in the middle of a little family problem. I'm upset at my siblings a little bit for their behavior today (which is bothering me 24/7 for the rest of my life), and my parents are acting all… meh. And to make it worse, I'm in the middle of a little writer's block right now. The Muses are probably being mad at me and they aren't acting very helpful right now, with both writing and drawing, even though I never post up my drawings.

Off of my life and problems, how is everyone out there? Good? Okay, good to know. If bad, I feel your pain. If meh, then, uh, meh to you too.

Meh, rambling. Anyways, I finally found a way to help me with my writer's block: Kingdom Hearts drabbles! I know, it's probably not the newest things you guys ever read, but I'm gonna post them up anyways.

I had lots of different drabbles and one-shots stuck in my head for a very long while now, lots of which won't fit in mine and my sister's story, which can be found in my sister's profile, which is T. J. Nightshade. Most of the drabbles here are mostly from the different Kingdom Hearts games, probably with a bit of Final Fantasy thrown in because of the FF characters in KH.

Enough of that now.

This is a Birth by Sleep drabble that was thought up not too long ago, actually. We were kinda hyper and high off of ice cream, so please excuse the characters being out of character, if that even makes any sense.

Don't own BBS or KH. I just own a copy of BBS that is in Sora's PSP right now.

Dedicated to the all mighty Muses of writing. Can you guys just please give me some ideas right now? I would be eternally grateful!

Ven blankly followed Terra and Aqua outside for training as usual. That's what they always do here. Train this, train that, train here, train there. It's almost as if that's the only thing that they think of every single day.

Terra and Aqua don't seem to be bothered by this, though. They strive to be the best Keyblade Masters out there, but Ventus doesn't know why. He only lived here for a couple of days, and already they treat him like he's been training with them forever. Often times Terra would try to teach him something that Ven has no experience at, and Aqua would try to get him involved with different magic that Ven doesn't know how to use.

Master Eraqus is easy on him, and he actually doesn't treat him as if he was training with him for all his life. He is a very patient man, and he actually goes over the whole thing instead of just leaving him there all confused of what he has to do. But the only downside is that he can be so boring that Ven would fall asleep when Master Eraqus is telling him something.

"Ven!" Aqua called out from where she was. "Are you awake yet?"

Ventus looked up at his blue haired friend. She had her Keyblade, Rainfell, at her side, poised in a fighting stance. Terra stood at a side as well with his Keyblade, Earthshaker.

"I don't think he is, Aqua," Terra teased as he came up to Ven and ruffled his hair. "I don't think he has a single brain cell left in his empty head from spending too much time with Master Eraqus. Heh, he's probably the equivalent of a zombie by now. I mean just look at him! He even has the empty, mindless glare to go along with it!" he said as he thumped Ventus hard on the back, leaving him out of breath.

Aqua gave him a scowl, and playfully hit the back of Terra's head as her response. "I don't think you have any brain cells left. Terra, you know better than to talk about the Master that way!"

Terra stifled his laughter. "Teacher's pet!" he remarked.

Aqua replied by pushing him hard. "I'm not a teacher's pet!"

"Oh yes you are!"

"Shut up!"

Pretty soon they started sparring with each other, completely ignoring Ven. Said boy just stood there, watching them in amusement as they shot insults at each other back and forth. If Master Eraqus was here right now, he would probably make Terra and Aqua eat about ten bars of soap.

Ven started to fantasize about that. He mostly imagined Master Eraqus dragging Terra by the ear, and actually shoving a pink bar of soap into his mouth. Pink because Terra thinks he's allergic to everything pink, and he believes if something pink touches him, he will melt into a giant Terra puddle on the floor.

Ven stopped fantasizing when he realized that Terra and Aqua are getting a little too close to one of the pools. Ven know for a fact that Terra can't swim no matter what he does, and he just sinks to the bottom of the pool like a rock. Aqua swims around like it's no big deal, whereas Ventus just floats, no matter what he does. Even if he's holding a boulder, he still would float and never even sink an inch into the water.

"Uh, guys?" Ven warned them. "You guys need to watch out, or else you're gonna—"

He was interrupted by a splash caused by Terra. Aqua stood at the edge, laughing slightly at Terra.

"Come on, Terra, you can do it!" she cheered. "Come on, boy! Come on!"

"Aqua," Ven said as he went up to Aqua. "Terra's not a dog."

"Come on boy, you can do it! Come on!" she said, ignoring Ventus as she patted her knees to get Terra to pay attention to her.

"And I also know for a fact that Terra can't swim." Ventus added.

Aqua stopped and stood up straight, watching Terra continue sinking to the bottom of the pool. "Come on Ven. Let's go get the Master to save him. Again."

"For the tenth time," Ven added. "This week."

"That makes this time the… forty-second time… just this month."

"Why does Terra always try to swim even though he knows he can't?"

"Exactly like what I said before: Terra has no brain, much less brain cells. Now that I think of it, his brain is the only muscle that he doesn't use."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Come on, let's go find Master Eraqus." Ventus said as he dragged Aqua along.

It didn't take him long before he found the Master outside doing random Master Eraqus stuff. Which is mostly sitting outside with a very boring book in his hands.

"Master Eraqus!" Ventus called out as he reached the Master. "Terra fell into the pool. Again."

"Again?" Eraqus said without looking up from his book. "Did Aqua 'accidentally' trip Terra into the pool again?"

Aqua looked baffled at that. "I never did such a thing before in my life!" she said, defending herself.

Eraqus sighed, putting his paperback down and leaving his bookmark on where he left off. He got up and casually dusting himself off. "Fine. I'll go save him again."

He walked off, leaving Ven and Aqua alone listening to him grumble under his breath, "Useless dope. Even when I tried to teach him on his birthday, he still can't float much less swim."

Ventus coughed down his laughter while Aqua tried to hide a small smile.

"Hey, speaking of birthdays," Ventus told Aqua. "It's going to be my birthday tomorrow."

Aqua stared at him in surprise. "Your birthday is tomorrow? Oh gosh Ven, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I never really did think about it until now."

"Hmm. The Mark of Mastery test is tomorrow too. Maybe I can ask the Master to postpone it so we can celebrate your birthday."

Ventus immediately brightened up. "Seriously? Oh that would be awesome! But you're gonna need to talk to Terra about this, though."

"Oh I'm sure he will be okay about this, though. I mean, it's your birthday were talking about here! It's going to be your first birthday here with us! I'm gonna go find Terra now. Bye!" she waved as she ran off towards the pool.

"See ya!" Ventus waved back.

"Terra!" Aqua called out as she ran towards where a wet Eraqus and a soaked Terra were. "Hey! Hey Terra! Hey!"

"What?" Terra barked back at her. "What do you want?"

"Oh! I just want to tell you that Ven told me that it's his birthday tomorrow!" Aqua exclaimed.

"Okay Aqua, that's great. Tell the kid that I said happy early birthday. We can celebrate his birthday after the Mark of Mastery tomorrow."

"But Terra! It's going to be his first birthday with us! And I want it to be special just for him!"

"If I hadn't known you any better, I would've thought that you just baby that kid as if he's your own son. Seriously, you spoil him a lot."

"I do not!"

"Do so!"

"Stop!" Eraqus said with his hands raised dramatically into the air as if he's king of everything. "Will you please shut it? I don't have any more aspirin left to stop my headaches caused by your arguments."

"Hey Master?" Aqua pleaded with an innocent tone. "Can you please postpone the Mark of Mastery so we can celebrate Ven's birthday tomorrow?"

Eraqus thought about it for a moment. "Sure, why not? After all, it is his first birthday here with us."

Aqua beamed and gave him a tight hug. "Thanks Master Eraqus! You're the best!"

"Okay then…" Eraqus wheezed, running out of oxygen. "Please Aqua… let me go now… I can't breathe!"

"Oh! Sorry!" Aqua said as she released her Master. Eraqus hunched over trying to regain his breath back.

"Okay… uh… since you're so bent on… giving Ventus his birthday here… we can postpone… the Mark of Mastery test." Eraqus wheezed out.

Aqua's eyes brightened and she started to squeal in delight. Terra stood there with his mouth agape. Unlike Aqua, he's not happy that the Mark of Mastery is going to be postponed.

"What?" Terra yelled out in shock. "Postponed? But for how long? Just for a couple of days, right?"

"Well…" Eraqus said, trying to calculate the days in his head. "Since tomorrow is Friday, and Ventus's birthday is tomorrow, we need to postpone it for about… two months from now."

"TWO MONTHS?" Terra yelled again. "I can't wait that long! I'm already ready now!"

"Just be patient, Terra," Aqua piped up. "Good things always come to those who wait for it."

"Yeah right."

"Shutty Terra! Let's go bake a cake for Ven now! We can figure out of what to get him for a present later. Oh, and we need to work on the decorations as well—"

"AAHHH!" Terra yelled as he clamped his hands over his ears. "Stop talking about birthday stuff. You're gonna make me barf a rainbow, and that would ruin my manliness!"

"Terra, you're such a loony." Aqua said simply.

She grabbed Terra by the ear and dragged him over to where Ventus stood watching them.

"Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow. OW!" Terra complained as Aqua continued pulling him with his ear. "Aqua let me go already!"

"You're gonna help me bake Ven a cake!" Aqua spat back. "First, we're gonna need to ask Ven what flavor he wants."

"Are you guys fighting again?" Ven said as Terra and Aqua caught up to him.

"No, we just wanna know what flavor you want your cake to be." Aqua said simply, not letting go of Terra's ear. "So, what flavor do you want, Ven?"

"Um," Ven thought about for a second. "How about vanilla? With buttercream icing?"

"Sure! Why not?"

"I hate vanilla," Terra said as he flicked Aqua's grip away from his ear. "Vanilla is nasty."

"No it's not !" Ventus shot back. "Chocolate is nasty!"

"No it's not! It's the best flavor in the world!"

"You guys are such little girls!'" Aqua said as she lightly smacked the back of both Terra's and Ventus's heads.

"Ow." Terra and Ven said in unison.

"Jinx!" Aqua said before they could.

"Aw come on!" Terra whined.

"Come on Terra! Let's go work on that cake now! I'm going to use the French Vanilla flavor for the cake. Of course the buttercream icing is going to be used, and—hey Ven! Do you want ice-cream in your cake?" Aqua said in a rapid-fire pace.

"Sure!" Ventus said. "Can you make it Vanilla Bean? I like that flavor."

"Okay! Come on Terra! We don't have all day!" Aqua said as she guided Terra into the building towards the kitchen.

In the Kitchen

"Terra! Crack the eggs already! It's really not that hard!" Aqua said as she poured in the cake flour into the bowl.

Terra stood there with an unbroken egg in his hands. "Why do I have to crack the eggs? I don't like the funny feeling of the yolk on my hands."

"Wow you're a wimp." Aqua said as she poured milk, oil, and quite a bit of sugar into the mixture. "Just crack them Terra. You can wash your hands afterwards."

"Fine. I'll crack Shelly first," Terra said as he banged the egg lightly against the countertop.

Aqua stared at him weirdly. "What did you just say?"

"I said that I would crack Shelly first. After that, I will crack Eggbert, and finally Yoko." Terra said.

"You named the eggs that you are about to break? Why?"

"Because eggs have feelings too, you big meanie!" Terra said as he started to tear up a bit.

"Okay. Okay! I'm sorry! Just crack the eggs already and you can go brood in your Emo Corner."

"Okay." Terra said as he cracked Shelly. He then cracked Eggbert and Yoko, and put their innards inside the mixing bowl. After that was done, he washed his hands thoroughly and went upstairs to his own room, crying his eyes out like a baby.

"What a baby," Aqua muttered under her breath. "I still can't believe Master Eraqus took him in."

She continued working on the cake, cursing Terra for not helping her.

Ven's Birthday (Next Day)

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY VEN!" Aqua cheered as she woke up Ventus in his room.

Ventus screamed as he pulled the covers over his head. He peeked out of the covers a bit to see Aqua close to his face. He instinctively inched away from Aqua as she threw sparkling bits of confetti into the air around him. The shiny bits of confetti clung to Ventus's hair annoyingly, making him look very glittery like a girl.

He shook the confetti out of his hair and looked around his room to see that Master Eraqus and Terra are both covered in glitter and wearing party hats like Aqua. Terra looked like he didn't want to be here, whereas Eraqus looked like he wants to kill the party hat.

"Good mornin' Ven!" Aqua said as she put a party hat on Ventus's head.

"We were forced to be here," Terra grumbled from his spot. "I just wanted to eat the cake and go back to training."

"I'm actually okay with everything, just not the party hats," Eraqus said.

"Come to the kitchen with us! Your cake is done!" Aqua said as she dragged Ventus out of his bed.

In The Kitchen

"Here's your cake!" Aqua said as she and Terra brought out a huge gold and green vanilla cake about a meter long.

The cake said "Happy Birthday Ven!" in huge green letters with fourteen black and white candles spread around the cake saying how old he is. The cake showed the emblem that Ventus, Terra, Aqua and Eraqus all have.

"Wow that's huge," Ventus said as he saw his cake. "How did you manage to make that?"

"Easy," Aqua said as she and Terra put the cake on the table. "You just add a little bit too much ingredients into the mixture."

"A little? More like you're trying to give us all stomach aches!" Terra said.

"Yeah, well, maybe if you helped out a bit more, it wouldn't be like this. I was mostly the one who made this cake. Master Eraqus put the frosting and the decorations on it, and he actually did a pretty good job on it! And Terra here…" Aqua gave Terra an accusing glare. "Terra only cracked three eggs that he named Shelly, Eggbert, and Yoko."

"Eggs have feelings too!" Terra said as he started crying again. "You're so mean Aqua!"

"At least give Ventus your present, then you can go cry and brood in your Emo Corner."

"Fine," Terra said as he brought out an undecorated box. "Here. Hope you're happy about this present. It took me forever to get this for you."

Ventus grabbed the box from him and opened it. He peered inside the box, then he looked up to give Terra a confused glare.

"You gotta be kidding me," Ventus said as he brought the contents out of the box.

He brought out a jar filled with dirt. The jar of dirt had a pink bow attached to the lid with a little card stuck on it that read, "Here you go Ven. Happy Birthday. From Terra."

"What?" Terra said when Ven continued giving him a disappointed look. "Don't look at me like that! The present is thoughtful! Just be happy that I got you something."

"But it's a jar of dirt!" Ventus complained.

"Open my present next, Ven!" Aqua said. "I promise that it's better than Terra's present."

"Hey! At least I got him something!" Terra complained.

"How long exactly did it take for you to come up with the idea to get a jar and fill it with dirt?"

"Two days."

"What? You serious, Terra? Please tell me that you're joking."

"Uh, no, I'm not kidding Aqua. It really did take me two days to figure out what to get Ven. I didn't know what the kid liked so I got him something that I could come up with at a short amount of time."

"Wow Terra. Epic. Fail. Seriously. You fail epically."

"Shhhuuunnn." Ventus said as he brushed his index finger on his other index finger that he pointed at Terra, meaning shame.

"You guys are just so… meh!" Terra said as he ran out of the room.

"Wow that was weird…" Master Eraqus said.

"No kidding it was." Ventus said as he opened up his gifts from Aqua and Eraqus.

He enjoyed the rest of his birthday with Terra crying in his room.
