A/N: Hi there! Sooo, I made an account here mainly for the purpose of keeping track of my favorite stories LOL. I do drabble from time to time, but it's not something I'm aspiring to do. My irl twin mainly reads my stuff, but I thought I'd post this for fun. :-D The purpose of writing this was because I was shocked at how there wasn't any real high school fics of Terra D-:. Maybe I'm just not good at finding them, but I decided to make my own. Err..well, this is mostly in Aqua POV, though, since I thought my irl twin was going to type Terra's, but that's fine! XD I like writing everyone's POV, really (just Terra's a little more so I'm looking forward to that hurr).
If I do feel confident in posting more, it'll be like drabbles (unless I do manage to string together a plot LOL).

Image does not belong to me by the way! :-D

Chapter 1

"Good morning, Terra. It's time to wake up."

A moan sounded in response from under the covers. The greeting voice waited to see any movement from the single-sized mattress, but nothing came. She debated on whether to rip the brown sheets from the lazy figure, or pull back the matching curtain to force the morning light into the room. However, she knew that her strength was no match for the one named Terra, so pulling the sheets was out of the equation. The sky also seemed to be in a depressing mood as rain clouds were spotted from the girl's bedroom window, so that was out as well. She sighed.

"Come on, Terra. Today's the first day of school."

To the girl's surprise, a hand poked out from under the blanket and waved lazily toward her direction. The sheets moved slowly, until a head could be spotted, half buried into his pillow. The cobalt eyes against the dark room seemed to be smiling at her.

"I know, I know. I'm getting up."

"Good." The girl replied, backing away from the door way to wake up the younger member of the household, Ventus.

"Hey, Aqua."

The female stopped just in time to whip her head back toward the male, curiosity filling her brilliant blue eyes. "What is it?"

"Excited for your first day of high school?"

She felt her heart beat quicken at his question. She felt more nervous than excited to be attending an unfamiliar campus. However, she wasn't one to dread on negative thoughts, and did find the future experiences to be ones to look forward to. When she thought about being able to see Terra-who is a second year now-more often now that they will go to the same school, the girl couldn't feel any luckier. She smiled.

"Yes."

"It's not fair." The blond frowned, grabbing hold of a rail once the train picked up speed. He wore a long-sleeved, black coat with gold buttons. Under it was a long-sleeved, white shirt with the collar pulled up to stick out just a bit from the blazer. Matching, black pants wrapped snuggly around his legs and lay on top of new, black dress shoes. Compared to his uniform attire, the boy's spiky blond hair and radiant blue eyes seemed to stand out. "You guys are going to the same school now, and I'm stuck at Destiny Intermediate."

"Don't say that." Aqua smiled. She lightly hugged the smaller male from behind, crossing her arms over his chest. She wore a long-sleeved white collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbow. Her plaid patterned skirt-which matched her tie-was in the shade of a light blue. "We'll only be apart for a few hours. You can tell us all your stories about school when we pick you up, right Terra?"

"Of course." Terra smiled a bit, ruffling Ventus' spiked hair. He wore a similar outfit to Aqua, but had pants instead of a skirt and a short-sleeved shirt instead of long-sleeved. His tie was worn loosely around his neck.

"Fine." The blond and blue-eyed boy grinned. He looked up at Aqua. "Are you nervous about high school?"

"Not really." Aqua shook her head, surprised that she really meant it. When she really thought about it, high school was no different from intermediate. Sure, the campus was bigger, but once she got the hang of the environment, Aqua knew she'd fit in quite nicely. She also had Terra and a few other friends who were going to be with her, so there wasn't any real reason to be nervous.

"Oh!"

Terra and Ventus jumped at the female's sudden voice. They looked at her, confusion written all over. "What's wrong?" They questioned, in sync.

"I forgot to give you guys something." The blue-haired companion muttered, digging through her grey school bag. She searched around the depths of the bag with her hand until she could feel the thin cords. Her face lit up as she yanked the objects out and in front of her friends' faces. "Here you go!"

Blinking, Ventus took hold of one of three key-chains. The metallic frame was unique in that it shaped into a flower and enclosed around tinted glass. The glass came in different colors for each key-chain, and Ventus was holding a green one.

"Wow. Did you make these, Aqua?" Terra asked, taking the orange flower once Aqua handed it to him.

"I did." Aqua confirmed, smiling at her friend's reactions. "There's a legend about a fruit called the papou fruit. When shared, the fruit gives off a power to let the people who share it with each other stay together for their whole lives. It was my inspiration to make these for us."

"This is awesome!" Ventus exclaimed, hugging Aqua in a tight embrace. "I hope that legend is true so we can be together forever."

At that statement, Terra and Aqua couldn't help but smile at their youngest companion.

"What are you guys doing?"

The three figures turned in sync toward the voice nearby. When they saw who it was, the train slowed its pace and eventually came to a stop.

"Hi, Vanitas." Ventus smiled, waving toward the black haired, golden-eyed boy wearing the same uniform as him. "Where were you?"

"I was standing here while you guys were gushing." Vanitas informed, rolling his eyes.

"Well, this is the stop to the intermediate school." Aqua reminded them as the doors swung open from both sides. "Have fun okay, Ven. Vanitas."

"We will." The two small figures responded in unison. While Ventus was attempting to attach his chain to his school bag on his way out of the cart, Vanitas paused to examine Aqua, who was staring at him in confusion.

"Way to rock the uniform, Aqua." Vanitas smirked. Before either Aqua or Terra could react, the raven haired male dashed out of the cart and accompanied Ventus outside.

"I can't believe Ventus hangs out with that guy." Terra groaned, shaking his head.

"Well, Ventus is having fun and that's all that matters." Aqua laughed, not bothered by Vanitas' flirtatious behavior. She remembered being introduced to Vanitas in intermediate school-Aqua in her second year and Ventus in his first. That day, Ventus went to Aqua and his hang out spot under a tree with Vanitas in his grip. He explained to the curious girl how Vanitas was always alone. Since then, Aqua always saw Vanitas around Ventus. She didn't mind the two getting along, but she wished Vanitas would be more responsible. He hardly did work and had a lot of negativity for such a small boy. The woman just hoped Ventus wouldn't be influenced and, so far, he hasn't.

"Thanks for the charms, by the way." Terra nodded as he finished attaching the cord to the strap of his school bag, interrupting the girl's thoughts. "I know I don't say it often, but I'm happy to have you two as my friends." A pause. "I hope the legend is true, too."

Aqua smiled wholeheartedly, looking forward to her first day at school.
