The Apple Incident
Terra was your average young man. Tall, muscular, and he could get along with just about anyone or anything. Except the dreaded APPLE. Ask anyone who knows him, Terra won't even touch the cursed fruit. Many people have come up with many different theories, all of them different from the rest. Explanations ranged from an apple hitting him on the head when he slept under a tree, to an apple slice getting caught in his throat, to him falling into a vat of apple juice.
Terra was sitting in his room playing his new PSP. It was obvious by his face that he wasn't winning.
"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?" Terra threw his PSP out his bedroom door. "WHY WOULD THEY MAKE A BOSS THAT GOES 5 TIMES FASTER THAN WIND, CASTS HIGHER MAGIC THAN AQUA HERSELF CAN DO, AND HITS LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN IF YOU TOUCH HIM?" "AND NOT TO MENTION THAT HE CAN TAKE ALL YOUR SPELLS AND ABILITIES AND JUST SCATTER THEM AROUND THE AREA!" "THEN YOUR-"
"Ahem, excuse me."
Terra whirled around about to go off on the person who dared to interrupt his ranting. If it was anyone other than Ventus, they were screwed. Terra was greeted by a young woman with blue hair and his PSP in her hand.
'I wondered why I didn't hear it smash against the wall, Aqua must've caught it.' Terra thought it was odd that he didn't hear it. Terra calmed down immensely in the presence of Aqua. He couldn't explain why, she just had that effect.
"Terra, you shouldn't get that angry, its just a game, and what would Eraqus think when you smashed the birthday present he gave you?" Terra blinked and sighed.
"You're right Aqua, and I think Eraqus would be kinda angry." Terra continued, "Besides, it's my fault for playing Critical Mode."
"What's that?" Aqua obviously had no idea what Terra was talking about.
"It's just the game difficulty, you can choose how hard you want it to be."
"Oh..." Aqua dropped the handheld on the spring mattress and quickly changed the subject. "Well Ventus wanted me to give you this."
Aqua handed Terra a rather odd shaped sack, full of lumps.
Terra rose a single eyebrow, his trademark expression. "What's this?"
Aqua shrugged. "Don't know, Ventus explicitly told me not to look inside it."
"Alright, tell Ventus I said thanks, I guess."
"Will do." Aqua turned on one heel and left Terra's room. Terra noticed she left in quite a rush.
'Probably to go train or read or do whatever it is girls do in their free time.'
Terra sat down on his bed and started opening the lumpy sack.
Upon opening the mouth, Terra covered his face with his palm.
"Ventus, you idiot." Terra got up from the bed and let the sack full of red, spherical objects fall to the ground.
Terra walked out his door into the hall leading to the kitchen.
'Lesson time for Ven.'
Ventus was sitting at the table enjoying the freshly peeled orange, courtsy of Aqua, and thinking about the most recent prank he pulled.
'Oh man, Terra's gonna be SO scared and peeved.' Ven started to giggle.
Aqua looked up from her book. "Ven, you OK?"
It was becoming harder and harder to contain his laughter.
"Never better Aqua, why do you ask?"
Aqua gave him a serious look. "Because you're about as red as an apple."
Upon hearing apple Ven couldn't contain his laughter anymore. Ven laughed to the point where he dropped his peeled orange, slammed his head on the table, and fell onto the ground. In fact, one could say he was indeed, ROFLing. He laughed so hard and loud that he didn't hear the solid footsteps behind him.
"Ventus."
Hearing the deep masculine voice stopped Ven's laughter immedately stopped. Ven slowly opened an ocean blue orb to see another pair of equally deep cobalt eyes staring down at him.
"Terra." Ventus cursed his high pitched voice.
Terra held out a rather lumpy sack.
"Ven, do you care to tell me why you sent me a sack of 9 Tomatos?"
Ven's face paled. "Um, it was, uh, A gift!"
As the blond stood up, Terra looked at him skeptically. "Uh huh." "What possible reason would I need a tomato, or for that matter, 9 of them?"
Panic set within Ven's mind. "You could, um, make some soup, or-"
Terra nearly shouted, "You thought they were apples didn't you?"
"Oh god, Ven you didn't." Aqua buried her face in her hands.
Ven's eyes grew to the size of golfballs. "Terra, please I didn't mean to!"
Terra closed his eyes. "Ven, start running."
"Terra, wa-"
Terra immediately summoned Earthshaker. "Run."
Ventus summoned Wayward Wind and sprinted out of the kitchen just in time to run out of range of Terra's Gravira.
Terra jumped over the pile of kitchen items that got thrown around by his spell, and ran faster than he usually did out of the room.
Aqua sighed and closed her book.
"Time to get Master Eraqus."
A/N I've decided that I'm going to extend this a few chapters. We'll see where this goes. Oh and don't worry, Terra won't seriously hurt Ven. I hope. :( Reviews appreciated!
