It was around noon when the passengers got off the train, among them were Hayner, Pence, Olette,Aqua,and Terra. They quickly got off as the train departed for its next stop. Terra yawned as they got out of the station and outside.

"Man that was boring, but its finally over." Terra complained through yawns as Hayner and Pence were goofing around in front of him.

"Unbelievable Terra. Even on the last day you spend it the same as every one, sleeping!" Exclaimed Olette. "Your lucky they even let you stay at that school."

"Said it'd keep me out of trouble if i stayed in school. As if i was some kind of hoodlum." Terra frowned. "Besides, I was awake for lunch."

"Of course you were. The only thing that excites you at school is the food."

"Especially on pizza day and don't you forget it." Terra said as Hayner and Pence laughed. Olette rolled her eyes at this. "I'm glad at least Aqua isn't as stupid as you three."

"Well i don't think your a bad person at all."Aqua said as she smiled and looked up at Terra who had stopped moving after hearing this. "Terra just isn't a school person. Right Terra?"

At this Terra blushed, which Aqua luckily didn't seem to notice as she walked past. Terra regained himself and quickly caught up to Aqua as the five friends continued on their way home.

Hayner,Pence,and Olette parted halfway since they lived closer to the train station. That left Terra and Aqua alone together for the rest of the thirty minute walk home. Today was a beautiful sunny day, like most days. The gentle breeze felt good against Terra. It was probably around seventy five degrees out and the breeze seemed to make everything more soothing. Even the clear blue sky, save for a few small clouds that over looked Twilight Town seemed to be perfect as if complimenting the last day of school and the start of summer vacation.

Terra and Aqua walked in silence just enjoying the worry-free day and each others' company.

Aqua...

Terra and Aqua had been childhood friends as long as they could remember along with Ven. After Ven went to go live with his Grandmother, Terra and Aqua's friendship grew closer. But now both seventeen, Terra had formed deeper feelings for her. As they walked Terra watched Aqua from behind. Her hair was a beautiful blue with eyes to match. When they first met Terra had said how much he liked her hair as it was his favorite color. He said they should become best friends because of it and from that day forward they hung out almost everyday. Of course Hayner,Pence, and Olette joined their circle of friends eventually, but Aqua was his closest friend. Terra wondered if she had similar feelings. He doubted she liked him as much as he liked her though. After all he didn't think himself all that great. He slept during class. He had a kind heart and cared very much for his friends. He'd do anything to protect them, especially Aqua. Terra figured she wanted more than a good heart in a guy and lets face it, That and some basic sword skills he gained while practicing with struggle bats against Ven were all he had. To be honest Terra didn't really know what Aqua was looking for in a man, let alone what she saw in him.

"Well i don't think your a bad person at all."

"Hey Aqua?" Terra asked.

"Yeah, what is it Terra?" a puzzled look on her face from the sudden question.

"Back there, at the train station, did you really mean what you said about me?"

Aqua stopped moving and looked back at Terra. A few,uncomfortable seconds went by. "Of course i did, why do you ask?"

Terra looked into Aqua's eyes and started to blush again. "Errr..i just...thanks, thanks for not treating me like everyone else does."

Aqua smiled and said. "Well yeah we've been friends for a while, i think we know each others' hearts by now."

Terra looked away turning a little darker red and continued to walk. From behind Terra, Aqua continued to smile.

"I know you Terra."

Terra's house was before Aqua's, though they only lived a block apart. They said their goodbyes and parted. When Terra got home, he put his bag on the table and grabbed a soda from the fridge like he did everyday. Terra never actually did his work. The only reason he brought his bag was out of habit. His mother always made sure he took it before leaving for school. After she died a few years back he kinda brought it for her rather than himself. Terra lived alone. He never knew his father. apparently from what his mother said he died shortly after Terra was born. Terra remembered how he would sometimes hear his mother crying in her room. One time he heard her laughing in her sleep. Probably thinking of a time when they were still together and happy. She said how much Terra looked like his father and how she would sometimes get sad whenever she looked at him, she sometimes looked close to bursting out with tears. But she was always strong in front of him and was always there for him doing everything a good mother could. Terra did love her and respected how strong she was for a single parent. But...

One day on his way home from school, he found his mother lying on the floor. After the doctor showed up he concluded she had a really bad fever. Terra spent all night trying to comfort her. Unfortunately, she was getting worse. Then late that night she passed away. The doctor said this wasn't a sudden illness. She had been suffering from depression for years and she couldn't take it anymore. Terra blamed himself for never seeing the signs. His friends and teachers said it wasn't his fault, but he knew better. He could of done more for her.

After that day, he stopped doing his school work. He eventually got over it and occasionally visited his mother's grave from time to time. He didn't really change much aside from his attitude in school. He was still the same Kind hearted Terra.
