I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy.
It had been 14 years. 14 years since he had last seen her. 14 years since he had last talked to her. 14 years since he had last seen her cerulean blue eyes and her porcelain like face. 14 years since any of that and yet in a matter of a few minutes he had somehow agreed on going to a Thanksgiving dinner her family was having and that's where he found himself today, in his Ford Mustang following his parents Corvette to the house where she and her family lived.
As he pressed his foot to the gas pedal he couldn't help but wonder how much she had changed. Would she still have that soft, beautiful, short, blue hair that he loved so much, or would she have grown it out. Personally he was hopping for the short hair.
His thoughts where interrupted when his parents parked in front of a giant snow covered house. He parked his car right behind his parents and got out of the car. The cold, icy wind greeted him as he got out of the car and turned to the majestic house in front of him. The house was huge and the front door was very elegant and decorated with an autumn wreath. The house was also adorned with snow that had been falling non-stop all week. This house reminded him of his parents' house which was on the other side of town but was the same size and decorated according to the season.
"Terra! Come on, let's go inside before we freeze to death out here," his mother called to him. She was already halfway down the stone path that led to the door with his father's arm wrapped around her.
He followed his parents to the door almost regretting saying yes to the invitation of coming here. The second his father rang the doorbell he wanted to run away. But why was he so scared? Sure he hadn't seen the girl for 14 years but for crying out loud, he was Terra Heart the vice president and head officer of the Shinra Corporation, a corporation that pretty much ruled the world. The corporation was in charge of everything from protecting the citizens of the world to dealing with world issues between countries to even dealing with the school system. Shinra Corporation was what made the world go round.
For Terra, his job meant having to deal with the big issues like wars between countries, laws having to be passed, and overall, protecting the people of the city of Shinra. After all he was vice president of the Shinra Corporation and head officer of their task force which meant he had the privilege of getting his own army of men that where ready to protect the world any time the call came. There was also the personal bonus of being abel to boss his older brother, Leon Heart, around. Even though his brother was on the board of directors of the corporation and was the second head officer in command, Terra was still on top of him and in charge of him. This was a privilege Terra enjoyed and that he was also looking forward to if his little brother, Sora Heart, decided to join the corporation after he graduated from college.
All of Terra's thoughts where interrupted when the door opened revealing a blue haired boy that looked about 19 years old and was dressed in skinny jeans and a grey Hollister V neck shirt.
"Hey! You guys are here earlier than expected. It's great to see you. I haven't seen you in forever, literally. How long has it been now, mmm, 14 years maybe," the bluenette said excitedly.
"Well look at you Dante, you've grown. Your no longer the little 5 year old I remember. Your a tall gentlemen now. How old are you sweetie?," Terra's mom asked the blue haired boy.
"I'm 19 Mrs. Heart and I'm actually attending my first year of college this year at Shinra University," Dante said.
"Wow! So your just as old as our Sora. Oh, and please just call me Delilah and you can call my husband Noel," Delilah said.
"Alright, so how's Sora? He's coming tonight isn't he?," Dante asked.
"Yeah he's coming tonight and he's doing well. Right now he's a freshman at the University of Radiant Gardens," Noel said with a proud voice that made Terra role his eyes. Leave it to his dad to brag about his favorite child. Sure his brother had somehow "miraculously" made it into the greatest university in the world, but so had he, and his dad never bragged about him.
"Hey that's awesome! So Sora is up there with all the Einteins huh. I can't wait to see him again. It'll be just like the old days when we use to play with our toys as toddlers," Dante said excitedly as he turned to Terra and put an arm around his shoulder.
"So Terra, my man, I see you've gotten buffer. I use to think that wasn't even possible but you've proven me wrong. I'm impressed," Dante said as he ushered everyone in to the house.
The house was warm and felt very comforting. The smell of food cooking hit everyone's nose as they walked in. Just like the outside, the house was very elegant and had many autumn decorations inside.
"Wow! It smells wonderful! I hope we're not to late to help out," Delilah said.
"Nah, they just started cooking and since it's still early I'm sure there are plenty of thing to do still," Dante said as he lead everyone into the kitchen.
When they got to the kitchen they where greeted with a warm site. Everyone was doing something to help out either cutting up vegetables, baking pies, or putting the turkey in the oven. Everyone in the kitchen had their hands full.
"Oh my goodness! You guys are here early! Oh it's so great to see you! I can't believe it's been so long! Happy Thanksgiving!," a woman with medium long, blue hair said.
"Jeeeesh mom! Let them at least enter the kitchen completely before you start freaking out on them," Dante said with a playful smile.
"I'm sorry I'm just so happy to see you guys," Dante's mom said while she gave both Delilah and Noel a warm hug. She also gave Terra a hug that seemed very forceful and tense. This made no sense to Terra because last time he had seen her she had been all warm and sweet to him. She used to treat him like one of her own children but not anymore apparently, Terra just shrugged the whole thing of.
"Oh, we are so happy to see you to Abigail. You and all of your family. We actually came early to see what we could help out with around here," Delilah said warmly.
"How sweet, but you're our guest, you don't have to do anything, just enjoy yourself," Abigail said.
"Oh none sense! We insist! We would be more than happy to help," Noel said.
"Well alright, if you insist," Abigail said as she lead Delilah and Noel more deeper into the kitchen leaving Terra behind.
"So Terra I see you're more handsomer than ever," Terra turned to see a blue haired girl in her mid twenties seating at the breakfast bar cutting up some apples .
"Hey Runo, I see your just as beautiful as ever and you've grown too, that's a plus. I've gotta say though, I'm really gonna miss that 12 year old girl that used to brag about how many lipsticks she had," Terra said as he gave the girl a giant bear hug. This had been how they got along as far a Terra could remember, they would always be giving each other compliment and playfully flirting with each other. It was just the way they got along and everyone knew this because to Terra, Runo was like a little sister, and to Runo, Terra was an older brother.
"So...," Runo said as she went back to cutting up apples, " how's everyone else?"
"Oh, their great. Yeah, um, Sora's in his first year of college, and um, mom is still a pediatrician. Dad is in the board of directors for Shinra Corporation and so is Leon and actually Leon is also second head officer of the corporation's squat team. So yeah things are going well. Oh! And my sister got married during the summer," Terra said.
"How wonderful for Destiny! Who did she get married to?," Runo asked excitedly. "She got married to Tie Sohma, he's a child psychiatrist and she became a lawyer," Terra said.
"They must be so happy together, it must have been hard letting go of her, huh?" Runo asked.
"Well it was hard for my dad, but hey, as long as she's happy it's all good. I mean she's 29 now so she can make her own decisions. And guess who else might be getting ready to tight the knot too," Terra said.
"Who?!," asked Runo excitedly. "Leon and Rinoa," said Terra.
"No way! It's about time! Those two have been dating for ever!," Runo exclaimed.
"Yeah I know. Leon has been talking to me about how he is going to propose soon, so be ready for a wedding, " Terra said with a smile.
"So how has your family been doing?, " Terra asked.
"Oh, we've been wonderful! Well Dante is in college and he's actually dating this girl named Ashley. And well, mom still owns the flower shop and it's actually grown into quite a business," Runo said.
"And how about Eraqus?," Terra asked.
"Oh, dad's grate. He's still a doctor," Runo said.
"And you?," Terra asked.
"I became a photographer for The Shinra Times actually, and right now I'm dating this guy named Peter. He's actually coming tonight for dinner so you'll get to meet him," Runo said.
"That great, and how about Aq-"
"But enough about me how about you! What have you been up to?," Runo said, interrupting Terra urgently.
"Oh!," Terra was taken back by Runo's sudden interest in him.
"Well I'm the vice president of the Shinra Corporation and head officer of their squat team," Terra said.
"Wow Terra, I'm impressed. You pretty much rule the world," Runo said in awe.
"So where do you live?," she asked.
"Oh, I own a penthouse at the Aria Tower in downtown Shinra," Terra said.
"Wow isn't that where a bunch of celebrities liv-," Runo was interrupted by the sound of the kitchen door swinging open.
"Hey dad! How much of the medicine should I give to Ve-," a girl with short blue hair walked in talking and abruptly stopped when she saw the man in front of her.
"Terra?," the bluenette asked shocked.
"Aqua," Terra responded in amazement.
