Chapter 1: Flowers

"Hey, Terra!" "What is it, Ven?" He sighed. "Do you know what day it is?" "Um, Saturday?" "No! Well... Um, yes... But today is Valentine's Day!" "What...?" The color drained from Terra's face. "You didn't forget, did you...?" "Pssh, me, forget? No..." "Then what did you get Aqua, Hmm?" "Ah, um..." He took a moment to think. "You don't have to know!" "You forgot, didn't you?" "Yes..." "Nice..." "You've gotta help me Ven!" "She likes flowers, I know that much." "Okay um, flowers... flowers..." "Why don't you get her a bouquet of roses or something girly like that?" "Just plain old roses?" "Well, you can use some magic to turn them blue!" "Yeah! She'll love that! Alright..." Terra paused. "Well, get to it man!" "On it." "And don't screw it up." "I'll try not to..."

"Okay." Terra sat down in his room with his book of magic spells and a bouquet of roses he had just bought from the Moogles. "Let's see here." Terra looked in the index. "Anything about color customization?" He examined the book and moved his finger down the book. "There, page 215." He flipped to that page and read it. "Seems simple enough. I should practice first... Psssh, I don't need practice... I'm Terra. Look out, Aqua! Cause there's another thing comin'!"

Terra walked up the hallway and nervously knocked at Aqua's door holding the bouquet of roses behind his back, a bead of sweat ran down the side of his face, which he immediately wiped with his arm. "Terra?" She opened the door, surprised to see him. "Uh, hey." Terra waved with his unoccupied hand. "Come in." They sat on her bed. "What's that you got behind your back?" "I got these for you." Terra pulled out the bouquet of roses. "Oh Terra... They're beautiful!" She took a sniff. "That's not all." "Hmm?" "Alashinne!" The roses wilted and turned a gross unflattering brown color. "Oops, one sec... Alakashinne!" The roses perked up and turned a nice cerulean blue (that matched Aqua's hair). "Oh, I didn't think you had it in-" Without hesitation Terra gently pressed his lips against her cheek. "Terra..." She said, breath taken. "Happy Valentine's Day." He got up and left the room. "Well, that was unexpected..." She said in shock and let herself fall backwards on her pillow. "Now what am I going to get him..."
