Aqua rushed out of the cathedral. Father Zachary and Mother Aerith had told her to pick up some fresh herbs for dinner tonight, and she had remembered during her daily praying session.
Her name was Aqua Kurosaki, although everyone called her 'Sister Aqua'. She was one of the orphans living with Father Zachary (Zack, for short) and Mother Aerith in the Destiny Cathedral. She was practicly raised by the couple, who taught her the ways of the Lord and to be grateful to all of His kindness.
She stopped at the local market to buy the herbs she needed and also, to stare at the flowers. They were her obsession ever since she was little, and she held them dear to her heart.
The wind blew hard on the cold autumn day, slightly lifting her dress. She pushed it down and continued her route. The clothing allowed in the church was a little different, but respectable all the less. A black, long-sleeved dress with satin shoes and a sash around the waist. Aqua's sash was a dark blue, her favorite color. She wore her rosary, her most loved accessory.
She arrived at the market and Marluxia, the local herb and flower seller, smiled at her return. "Aqua! Great to see you! Welcome! What can I help you with?"
"I need some baisley and some vanilla, please." She said sweetly.
Marluxia nodded and went to the back of the store. He came back with the requested items and with blue rose.
"Here you go, Aqua. And here," he handed her the rose. "This is for you."
"Oh? What's the ocasion?" She asked.
"It's a thank you for being my faithful customer all these years." He smiled.
Aqua nodded, truly grateful. The rose was really beautiful. "Thank you! See you, Marx!"
"Come back soon! Don't be a stranger!" He shouted at her departure.
"I won't!" She said as she headed back to the cathedral and see her sisters.

"Aqua, that rose looks beautiful!" Xion praised.
Xion was the youngest of the girls living here. Her choppy, black hair was her most appealing detail, next to her eyes. There were four girls in total. From youngest to oldest, there was Xion, Namine, Olette and Aqua. They weren't the only orphans, but they were the ones who lived with Zack and Aerith in the church.
"Thank you." Aqua said, putting said flower in a vase for their room. The four girls shared the room, two bunk beds on each side. They grew up together; they were sisters at heart.
They walked through the halls of the cathedral until they reached the attic. They weren't forced into the attic, Aerith had insisted that they should choose somewhere closer to her and Zack's room, but they denied her. In the attic, they felt happy. They felt closer to the sky, closer to God.
Naminé and Olette were on their beds when the girls entered the room. After adoring Aqua's precious rose, (Naminé said she wanted to draw it later.) Olette told the girls the news.
"I heard from Mother Aerith that a man is going to stay with us for a while."
"A man?" Xi asked.
"Yes," Naminé said, "The man goes by the name of Terra. He's arriving here today."
A man... How intriging. Aqua thought. There were other males staying at the church other than Father Zack... and Ven. But Ventus has been in a coma for months, with no sign of waking up.
Xion stared through the window in the attic. It was of many colors, but you could see through it just fine. "Sisters! By any chance, is that Sir Terra?!"
The girls looked to see and saw Zack and Aerith welcoming some stranger.
"It has to be!" Olette said.
"Let's go girls!" Aqua yelled. The four girls ran from their room, eager to meet their new visitor.
They arrived in the courtyard at the same time as Zack entered with the man.
"Hello, girls." Zachary said. "I'd like to introduce our current guest-"
"Father Zack, please. You've done so much for me, the least I can do is introduce myself." The man interrupted politely.
Zack laughed. "Of course."
The man stepped forward, revealing a young, tan man no older than Aqua. His chocolate brown hair was comed in the back, but had a few strands loose. His startling blue eyes looked like Xion's, if not brighter.
"I'm Terra Tsukumo. Nice to meet you all." He said with a smile.
Olette introduced all the girls, since Aqua was slightly baffled. Terra's kind eyes locked with hers when Olette said Aqua's name.
"Hello, Olette, Xion, Namine... Aqua." She regained her structure at that moment.
"Welcome to Destiny Cathedral, Terra."
During the moment if silence that passed, Naminé whispered in Xion's ear.
"Won't this be interesting?"
