AN: I've played the game, I love the story, but I unfortunately do not own the series rights, but enough about me, enjoy this story that I thought up of while I was going through my insomnia phase.

Restless Nights

Exterior: The Land of Departure.

Part 1 : Terra

"AAAGHH!" was the scream he heard again for the 9th time this month, the Keyblade wielder and Earth warrior Terra sighed. It only meant one thing.

"Ven's having another nightmare."

The Nightmares were a subject Terra, Aqua and their Master and teacher Eraqus knew about Ven ever since he was first dropped off here by his first master, Master Xehanort, a friend of Master Eraqus; and during the first few weeks that he had stayed with them, Terra, Aqua, and Eraqus were subjected to constant yelling, and thrashing about on one occasion, from the young boy Terra looked to as a little brother. Now again, with the upcoming Mark of Mastery exam coming in a couple weeks, Terra decided to just let himself go back to bed, maybe it'll just blow over in the morning just like the first time.

Thirty minutes later

"Ugh" Terra said as he got up from his bed, Terra couldnt get back to sleep after Ven's yelling, when things had gotten quiet, he thought that Aqua had gone into Ven's room and calmed him down, or maybe even Master Eraqus; and maybe after that he could get back to sleep, but when that didnt work and put him where he was now. Terra got out of his bed, putting on the light brown hakama pants he usually wore with the plain white tee and boxers he already had on; and with a yawn, Terra opened the door from his room, to the outer halls of the castle building where he and his friends and teacher lived in.

The Kitchen that was within the Land of Departures Temple was well... small to say the least, yes it could hold a small family table and chairs for people to seat, and yes it had all the standards needed to feed Keyblade Bearers. But it was considerably less spacious then it was in its Hayday when there were more Keyblade students and Masters living in the Land of departure, Raising a Keybearer was getting less and less common now. The Worlds beyond had their own masters and students so their wasnt much need now to send these potential warriors to a world like the Land of Departure unless it was on important business. So to make it seem more appropriate, Master Eraqus had remodeled the Kitchen to be a bit smaller. I mean after all, they ate outside instead of in, so there was no need for it to be so big. Besides, the spacious room was more fitting for the Dining Hall that the castle had.

It was there that Terra had stumbled in, rubbing his eyes as he opened the refrigerator door, grabbing a carton of milk that was recently bought from the village below the mountains that led to the castle. Not even for a second noticing for a second the Spiky Blond hair by with the black and white tee, the black shorts, and the empty cup of water right beside him, holding his face with his own hands, sitting in the chair on the table that was in the small kitchen.

"Hey Terra" Ven yawned as he was looking at the surface of the table, the only light showing in the entire room was the light from the fridge, the LED Clock above the stove, and the Light above it that was used sort as a night light for people who couldnt see so well in the dark as Master Eraqus had explained to the boy and Terra when each first started living there; never minding the fact that it may just have something to do with the old Keyblade Master's vision. But I as the narrator must move onward.

"Hey Ven, sleep well I imagine?" The hints of sarcasm and annoyance from the older teen made Ven give a tired scoff as he looked up to Terra who was pouring Milk into a glass.

"Very funny" Ven said as Terra now had closed the fridge door and was sitting with his glass of milk in the chair opposite of Ven's.

"Yeah sorry, just tired is all"

"Its alright, its not your fault I cant sleep. Too many nightmares.. just too many" Ven said as he was shaking his tired head back and forth. Watching the kid look this way was a bit depressing for Terra, so Terra spoke up

"Care to talk about it?" Terra asked, usually he wouldnt do much in helping the kid out with his sleep troubles, usually Aqua took the opportunity to get up and see if Ven was alright. She always did like to act like a mother to the kid... makes ya wonder what that would make Terra considering his thoughts concerning Aqua. But nevertheless, Terra decided it would be his turn to console his little brother. Even if it weren't essentially the case.

"Huh?" Ven asked as Terra nodded his head, the milk already half gone as Terra spoke.

"Yeah, when I was younger and I had nightmares; My dad, my Real Dad, not Master Eraqus, would sit down with me in a place like the kitchen here and we would just talk about it. It was strange" Terra looked down "Dad never really was one for small talk.. but he seemed to always be there to help fight back the fears or at least help you with them. If only he was here we'd all have one big talk about nightmares to just ya know? Work it out. But he's gone now." Terra said as he looked Ven at eye sight as Ven just stared back at him.

"Terra.."

"Heh, but we aren't here to talk about my dad now are we? So what was your nightmare about, if ya want to talk about it?" Terra said as Ven went over to the sink to pour some water into his glass again, turning off the faucet as he went back to his chair.

"i dont know what it was all about" Ven began "I was on an island, like some sort of tropical paradise, with those fruits that Aqua always talks about. But instead of the island looking like a paradise. It was all dark like it was night, the entire island seemed to be in the middle of a storm, like this really huge, really violent storm! I looked around all I could to find some boat or someone to tell me what was going on, but I couldnt find anything. Thats when I saw this giant Dark.. thing" Terra lifted his eyebrows, intrigued now by how the story was turning out.

"What did it look like?" He asked

"It was giant, and muscular, with most of its hair covering its face. It had these huge claws that tore up most of the island and even had these little creatures come out from underneath it. Thing didnt have a heart though."

"Didnt have a heart?"

"Yeah no heart, just this giant heart shaped hole. Probably the most scary thing about it was that it had these yellow eyes. Not like regular eyes like we had but just Yellow dots that peered right at me."

"I see" Something about the way Ven described the creature reminded him about a lesson he and Aqua had learned about when Eraqus was teaching them about the realms.

"Go on"

"Well those little creatures I told you about? They started running towards me. I tried to bring out my Keyblade" Ven lifted his right hand to summon his keyblade, within a second the reverse positioned blade with it's key-chain appeared before him and Terra. "It didnt appear at all" Ven dismissed his Keyblade as it disappeared in a flash of light

"So I did the next best thing, I ran, ran as far as I could on the island, the little creatures keep rising up from the ground and trying to attack me. I ran into the cave nearby, and thats when I noticed something. The clothes I usually wore were gone, replaced by this pattern on red shorts, this white shirt and gloves. I heard laughing behind me, and when I looked at the reflective surface from the rock wall in the cave..." Ven took a huge gulp from his drink as if the young teen were a drunkard. "It wasnt me"

"..." Terra didnt know what to say to his friend, the dream sounded pretty vivid for Ven, he took a sip from his drink as Ven spoke once more.

"Ive been trying to figure out what it means, the dream you know? Its this one and a couple others always repeating each week now and I just cant sleep."

"Hey its alright Ven" Terra said as he finished his drink, wiping his face as he put his and Ven's glasses into the sink.

"To be honest i've had dreams like that too, one's where im someone else and do terrible things to the people I care about.. But I try to not let it get to me. I usually use the frustration from the dreams I dont understand to train." Terra continued

"Is training all you ever think about?" Ven joked as the two laughed,

"Yeah Probably, but it does make the time pass by quickly" Ven nodded as he looked at clock above the stove. The time read 3:30 am on the LED clock as Ven and Terra were silent, not knowing what to continue on. Ventus was glad him and Terra talked things out, it put the whole nightmare about being someone else sound a little ridiculous. Which was a good thing, it probably wasnt any important, but still.

"So Dr. Terra, whats your diagnosis on my nightmare?" Ven asked as Terra got up and put his chair back in place, looking at the boy as he closed his eyes and grinned.

"Dreams suck" was all he said, Ventus nodded

"Yeah, Dreams suck" and the two laughed together once more before saying goodnight to each other, going back to their rooms and falling back to sleep once more. From then on, the nightmare never woke Ventus up again. Ever. Again. And they all lived happily ever after.

"AAAAGGHH!" Well until the next nightmare that is.

Part 1: Terra The End

AN:So where do I begin with this... well for one I wrote the story because it reminded me of these nightmares I had that woke me up in the middle of the night and I just couldnt go back to bed because the woke me up. So I would ask my friends what to do about it and they'd tell me their little solutions to the problem. So it's kind of like a thank you note to them since theyre going to be going to college soon; and I thought why not write the story involving the BBS trio around the same set of circumstances? Anyway Review if ya like it, the next part is Aqua's so stayed tuned!
