Prologue

Once again I find myself lying beneath the stars trying to forget about him. I quickly ran my fingers through my light brown hair trying to push him out of my thoughts. My gaze then landed upon three stars that shined brighter than all the other stars. Tears spilled from my violet eyes and streamed down my cheeks. Those three stars represented everything I loved and so quickly lost. Memories of the past replayed in my head.

It happened ten years ago during a time of peace among the worlds. I was still training to become a Keyblade Master along with my comrades. No one anticipated the events to come that would tear the worlds apart.

~Ten Years Ago~

After another brutal training, I wiped the sweat from my brow. Heavy footsteps echoed throughout the room as my opponent made his way over to me. His sapphire eyes instantly connected with mine sending goose bumps throughout my body. I quickly adverted my attention to the bottle of water in my hand. Before opening the bottle, a hand was placed on my shoulder. This small contact sent shivers up my spine. My eyes shifted to the man I was madly in love with.

"You did great today, Angel." he said while giving me one of his intoxicating smiles.

"Thanks, Terra, but you by far surpass me." I replied with a shaky voice. I quickly took a sip of water before he responded.

His smile faded as he replied, "Angel, everyone trains at their own level and I'll be here for you every step of the way."

"Terra…," I breathed, unable to muster the right words. Before regaining my senses, his fingers interlaced with mine. A blush immediately came to my face.

"I need to tell you something," he said while gently caressing my hands, "but not here. Meet me on the summit at midnight."

I slowly nodded my head while thoughts filled my mind. This must be a dream, could he really have the same feelings for me as I do for him? Terra's voice broke me from my thoughts.

"I'll see you tonight then." he whispered in my ear before planting a kiss on my cheek. As he walked out of the room, I couldn't help but scream with joy.

Late that night, I lie awake replaying the events in my mind. My mind went back to the kiss Terra gave me. Sure it was just on the cheek, but it still made me dizzy thinking about it.

My thoughts were interrupted by my blue haired best friend sitting beside me, "It sounds like he's going to confess his love for you, Ang." she said with a smirk.

I blushed furiously before lightly smacking the back of her head. "Oh stop it Aqua," I said flustered, "you don't know that!"

She let out a giggle before asking, "By the way, when do you have to meet him?"

"Midnight," I replied while glancing at the clock, "Twelve-fifteen! I have to go now!" I jumped up and ran out my door, almost running into a familiar blonde headed boy.

"Sorry Ven," I apologized, "I didn't see you there."

He gave me a goofy smile before saying, "It's okay, Angel, but what's the hurry?"

I sighed exasperated with the delay and hurriedly said, "I'll tell you later because I'm already late!"

I quickly took off at a sprint down several hallways and came to a stop at the top of a stairway. After resting for a brief moment, I continued my way down the stairs proceeding through a large set of doors leading outside. The cool air rushed around me as I continued across the courtyard and up the mountain path. My heartbeat pounded in my ears from the running and the anxiety of what awaited me on the summit. Finally reaching my destination, I spotted the tall and muscular man standing near the edge.

Terra seemed to be deep in thought as I approached him. Hearing my footsteps, he turned around to face me with that wonderful smile of his. I returned the gesture the best I could without literally bursting with joy.

"I almost thought you weren't going to come," he said walking past me and laying down in the grass. "Come lie down next to me," he replied.

My face turned a shade of crimson as I slowly made my way over to him and lied down. He instantly wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to his body. Instantly I melted as I buried my face into his muscular chest.

"Of course I would come, Terra." I respond breaking the silence. For the first time, I noticed three stars that glistened brighter than all the others. They reflected the hope in my heart that Terra would return my feelings.

He lightly squeezed my arm before saying, "I'm glad you did come because there's something I need to tell you."

"You can tell me anything, Terra." I breathed.

He took a deep breath before continuing, "Angel, since the first day I met you I've fallen deeply and madly in love with you. Please tell me you feel the same."

Every inch of my body tingled with excitement and my heart swelled with joy. My mind then went blank and my mouth went dry. Quickly I regained my senses and shifted my body so our eyes met. His eyes sparkled from the reflection of the night sky.

"I do and you have no idea how happy I am." I said as tears streamed down my face.

His hands immediately reached up to wipe away the tears and cup my face in his hands. Slowly our faces grew closer until his lips connected with mine in a passionate kiss. At first it was soft and tender then rough and longing as the passion increased. We finally pulled apart taking laborious breaths.

"I'm glad you did come, Angel." he said between breaths.

I buried my face in his neck before saying, "So am I, Terra."

His arms wrapped around me as he kissed the top of my head. We laid there all night gazing up at the stars. When morning came, I wondered what wonderful things the future held for Terra and I. My future had always included becoming a Keyblade Master, but all I could think of now was being with Terra forever.

Little did I know our lives would change forever. A few months later, during our Mark of Mastery exam, our worlds were torn apart by a darkness that no one expected. Terra fell into a dark void that even I couldn't save him from, but I never stopped trying. We finally came face to face with a fight for our lives, with the fate of the other worlds in our hands.

That was the last time I saw my comrades…the last time I saw Terra. Even to this day I love and dearly miss him, but deep inside my heart I feel he's out there somewhere waiting for me to rescue him. With that last thought, I stood up with a renewed hope and determination like no other. Wherever you are Terra, I'm going to save you.
