Chapter One: Cake Obsessions and Stomach Aches
One night in Radiant Garden, the nineteen-year-old Terra brought home twenty cakes and took them home due to hunger and a bit of…insanity. Carrying the boxes into the kitchen, he managed to wake up his eighteen-year-old adopted sister, Aqua, who was sleeping in her room nearby by excessive slamming of the kitchen door.
Looking at her clock, she saw that it was around 3 a.m. "What the heck…? Who's up now?" she groaned, got out of bed and put on her night robe.
Going into the kitchen, she saw the massive amounts of cake that ranged from little mini chocolate cakes to large, three tier cakes. When she saw Terra enter the kitchen with the last two cakes, she screamed, "What the heck is this?"
Looking down at the two cakes and back at Aqua he said, smiling and parading the cakes, "It's a bakery!"
"Where did you get this cake?" Aqua asked him.
"Tifa gave it to me," Terra replied, placing the final two cakes on the counter.
"Are you gonna eat all of it?" Aqua asked.
"Well, eventually," he said. "I'm not gonna eat it in one hit. Two days later, I'll be like freakin'…dead."
"Terra, what if she's trying to poison you?" Aqua asked him, looking worried.
"What? With cake? Are you serious? What is it 'You live by the cake, you die by the cake!'" Terra said, making a cutting motion across his throat.
The two began arguing with Aqua wondering what Terra was going to do with the cakes and Terra wanting to eat at least one cake before Eraqus, their adoptive father, found out. The arguing was so loud that it reached the second floor, where the thirteen-year-old Ventus was sleeping. He woke up, came downstairs and walked into the kitchen. Rubbing his eyes, he said, "What's going on? I heard argu…"
Eyes widening, he gasped and said, "Where did the cake come from?"
"Tifa gave it to me," Terra replied, looking smug.
"Tell her I said 'Thank you"," Ven said, staring at the cakes.
"I'll tell her you said 'Thank you'," Terra said.
"Why does she give you cake?" Ven asked.
"'Cause three years ago, I did a joke about how much I like cake and now she gives me cake," Terra replied.
"You should tell her you love 'Dead Fantasy'," Ven said, still staring at the cakes.
"Alright, I'll tell her that," Terra said, smirking.
Noticing how late it was, Aqua told Terra, "You have to put him to bed before Dad finds out."
"Dude, you gotta go to bed," Terra told Ven.
"Aw, I don't wanna," Ven pouted.
Getting an idea, Terra asked, "You want some cake?"
"Yeah," Ven said, excitedly.
Grabbing the small, three inch in diameter chocolate and peanut butter flavored cake and giving it to Ven, he said, "Here."
Looking at the cake in disappointment, Ven asked, "Just a piece?"
"No, dude, you can have the whole thing," Terra replied.
Eyes widening again and gasping to the point of near hyperventilation, Ven smiled as a beam of light from the heavens shot down on him.
'Er, where's that light coming from?' Terra thought.
Raising the cake to the heavens, Ven began singing in Latin, "Gloria in Excelsis Deo!"
'Okay…that's creepy,' Terra thought again.
"Um, take it to your room," he said to Ven.
"Ave Maria…." he sung as he walked back to his room, the light fading in the kitchen.
The next morning, Terra, ready for his classes at the city's university, went to Ventus's room to wake him up. Ven wasn't there. Hearing crying from his bathroom, Terra walked further into the messy room. Banging on the closed door, he yelled, "Ven, you okay?"
"My stomach," Ven yelled.
"Er, too much cake?" Terra asked.
"Yeah," Ven replied.
"Was it good?" Terra asked.
"Heck yeah!" Ven replied happily.
"Okay, I'll meet you in the car," Terra replied and left.
An hour and thirty five minutes late, Ven arrived at the car. Sweating and panting, he entered and the two sped off. Once at the school, Terra stopped the car in front of the school with a loud screech. In Radiant Garden, that's not allowed due to supervisors, security threats and the orange cones the supervisors randomly place. Terra didn't know and he really didn't care at the time.
"Go," he yelled at Ven.
"Terra, I'm not supposed to…" Ven said, looking scared.
"Dude, just go!" Terra yelled.
As Ven exited the car, one of the part-time supervisors, a blonde haired woman named Celes Chere, came running out from the school's front doors, yelling, "Sir! Sir, this is not the designated drop off area. Please leave your child at the side of the school. You cannot drop him off here."
Terra, still not caring, nudged at Ventus and said, "Watch this."
Looking at supervisor Chere, he said, * "Señora, yo estoy en una prisa. Yo no lo puedo dejar caer lejos en el lado de la escuela y yo no supe. Perdón me."
Noticing that supervisor Chere had no idea what he just said, Terra looked at Ven and said, "That's how you do it, dude! That's how you do it! Just speak in another language!"
Or, so he thought.
Knowing exactly what he just said, she replied with, ** "Esto no es la gota designada de área. Deje por favor a su niño en el lado de la escuela. Usted no lo puede dejar caer de aquí. Aquí está malo, allí bueno. ¡Yo no soy estúpido y usted no lo puede pasar lejos como un latinoamericano o una español, Terra Pellegrino!"
With that embarrassment, Terra sped off, dropping Ven off and now having to explain to Aqua and Eraqus about the phone call from the school a few hours later.
*Translation: "Lady, I'm in a hurry. I cannot drop him at the side of the school and I did not know. Sorry.
**Translation: This is not the designated drop off area. Please leave your child at the side of the school. You cannot drop him off here. Here is bad, over there is good. I'm not stupid and you can't pass for a Latino or a Spanish guy, Terra Pellegrino!
That's it for now. Just R&R, please :D
