Okay so this is my first story on fanfiction but I have a few on quizilla. If you would please review, so I have some feedback on what you like or what I can improve on. I don't feel like describing everyone's outfit so if you want to know what it looks like look it up. Livia's link will be on my profile. Um…oh yeah character ages, Terra is 18, Aqua and Livia are 17, and Ventus is 16. Enjoy, ^-^!

I stared up at the night sky. The stars blinked brightly at me like they were begging me to come to them. And how I wished I could visit them but master would never allow that and Terra wouldn't let me unless he came with. I sighed at my hopeless dream, closing my eyes. I open my eyes again to see meteors whizzing overhead. Lying back to get a better view of them, with my mid back length brown hair flow behind me. I heard footsteps running towards me. Ventus, or Ven as he like us to call him, races towards me.

"Wow…" he commented softly.

I giggle at him making him look down at me.

"Hey no fair. How is it you always beat me here."

"Ven, I've been here for hours."

Ven lied down next to me with his arms behind his head, "How come?"

I turned to him and stared at his blue eyes with my turquoise ones, "Just to think."

We turned back to the stars with Ventus nodding in understanding. The two of us had always come out here to stare at the stars. It was our favorite pass time.

"Why does this seem so familiar?" I heard him whisper before he drifted off to sleep.

I roll my eyes at my younger friend, continuing to stare at the stars. They were so beautiful. I wonder if there were people on those worlds thinking the same thing as I was. I got up and prepared to leave the sleeping Ventus, when I saw my blue haired friend prepare to scare him. I giggle softly and pointed towards the bench. She nodded before we hid behind the bench as Ven woke up. I leaned around the edge watching as Ven looked around for me. He shrugged lying back down. I turned to tell my partner in crime to move but found her already gone.

"Whoa!" Ventus said shooting straight up.

Us two girls started to giggle. Ven playfully glared at us. "Gimme a break, Aqua, Livia."

"Ven, you hopeless sleepyhead," I told him.

Aqua joined in, "You should have at least brought a blanket."

Ventus looked up, "But—did I dream that place up? It really felt like I'd been there before…looking up at the stars…"

He down casted his eyes while sighing. Aqua pats his head and laughs. "'Cept you've always lived here with us."

"Ya…I know."

Aqua and I moved over to Ventus, Aqua sitting beside them and I stood behind them, my arms behind me. I didn't want to sit my butt was too tired to sit.

"Hey, Livia, Aqua?"

"Hm?" we simultaneously replied.

"Y'ever wonder what stars are? Where light comes from?"

I smiled at his question and at the warm hand that grabbed hold of mine. I glanced back catching the smirk on the hand owner's face.

"Hmm…Well, they say –" Aqua began.

"That every star up there is another world," came a smooth voice from behind all of us.

The two sitting down turned around confused.

"Terra." Aqua stated.

Terra and I moved closer to them before he began to talk, " Yep, hard to believe there are so many worlds out there besides our own. The light is their hearts, and it's shining down on us like a million lanterns."

Ven looked at him confused.

"What?" he exclaimed, "I don't get it."

"in other words, they're just like you, Ven." I sighed.

Ven stood up and got close to us, "What does THAT mean?"

Terra and I exchanged looks.

'You'll find out someday, I'm sure." He replied.

"I wanna know now."

"You're too young to know now." Terra pointed out as he moved closer to Ven.

Ven got angry, trying to get in Terra's face but unfortunately he was about a foot too short. "Quit treating me like a kid."

I whispered in Aqua's ear and the two of us began to laugh. Terra and Ven looked at us.

"And what are you two laughing at?"

"I can't help it. Livia's right, you two would make the weirdest brothers." Aqua told them between fits of laughter.

Ventus and Terra looked at each other before they joined in on our laughing. A little while late the four of us were sitting at the edge of the cliff, staring at the stars. Terra had his arm wrapped around my waist, keeping me leaning against him. I had my head resting on his shoulder. Occasionally, he would glance down at me and smile before looking back at the other worlds. We were all enjoying our quiet time, when Aqua stood up in surprise.

"Oh yeah," she started, "Terra, you and I have our mark of mastery exams tomorrow."

The rest of us stood up while she reached into her back pocket and pulled out four star-shaped items. "I made us good luck charms."

Aqua threw the orange one to Terra, who caught it. Ventus and I leaned in to get a better look at it.

"Wow." Ven said.

I nodded in agreement, "They turned out great, Aqua."

"Here," Aqua called throwing the green star to Ven and the purple one to me.

"I get one too?" Ven questioned with his giant smile.

Aqua laughed before putting hers in the center of the four of us friends, "Of course. One for each of us."

We each held ours out making a circle of stars.

"Somewhere out there, there's this tree with star-shaped fruit….and the fruit represent an unbreakable connection," she began walking away and then turning back to us. "So as long as you and your friends carry good luck charms shaped like it, nothing can ever drive you apart. You'll always find your way back to each other."

I smiled, "Technically, I think you're supposed to make them with seashells, but we did the best we could with what we had."

"Wait, you helped make these?" Ven asked.

"Yeps."

"Oy, sometimes you two are such girls."

"Hey what do you mean by 'sometimes'?" I said slightly offended.

Ven looked down at the grass, "So this isn't a real good luck charm?"

We turned to him, "Well, that's yet to be seen. But me and Liv did work a little magic on it."

Ven's face brightened up, "Really? What?"

I help my charm up, "An unbreakable connection."

"Well, tomorrow's the exam. Anybody wanna spar?" Terra asked.

Ven jumped up, "I can take ya!"

Aqua and I stood there and watched the two boys fight. Terra kept going easy on Ven, letting him attack each time.

"Quit going easy on me. You're not gonna win unless you stay on the offensive." Ven yelled.

Terra smirked before quickly finishing the fight. Aqua and I walked over by Ven.

"Well, that works fine if you're fighting one on one." Aqua started.

"But you need to know how to handle a crowd, too," I finished.

Aqua and I teamed up with our shotlocks knocking Terra back. Ven came up after us and tried to slice at Terra, but unlucky for him Terra was ready and blocked.

"Okay, let's wrap this up!" Terra called out.

Terra quickly knocked Ven to the ground and had Aqua on her knees with his free arm wrapped around me holding me still. "It comes with experience."

I rolled my eyes, playfully hitting him on the shoulder. He let me go, rubbing his arm in fake hurt.

Ven got up, "Trust me, you guys are ready. You're gonna clean up at the exams tomorrow"

"I hope it's that easy," Terra replied.

I nodded, "it's like the Master said. Power is born within the heart." I poked Terra in the chest, "When the time is right, you just need to look inside yourself, and you'll find it there."

My three friends nodded.

Terra grabbed my hand, "Hey, we're gonna head back."

"Yeah. Me too!" Ventus answered.

Ven ran to catch up to us as we all walked towards the summit entrance. I looked back to see Aqua watching a shooting star fall while holding her Wayfinder. The wind carried her words towards us, "Together…always." I smiled as we continued to make our way to the castle.

That would be the last night we ever spent beneath the same stars.
