It's been a while since I posted any new stories on here, so since I finished my other one, I decided to begin this one. I don't how often this will be updated, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
Disclaimer: I only own Jack and Mist. Anyone else comes in I'll let you know. This is a series of drabbles set during a time gap in my trilogy that's already been published. I strongly recommend you go and read at least the first two before reading this, because you will not know who Jack is.
Well, I think that's all of it. Here's the first chapter of my TAVJ Drabbles!
Chapter 1: Don't let Ven drink the Wine!
It had been a very long day for Jack. He had trained with Terra and sparred with him for several hours in a row. Finally, when noon came, Master Eraqus gave them the rest of the day off. Jack had gone inside and fallen asleep almost immediately, but soon was awake again with nothing to do.
He sighed as he sat down on the couch in the main room. He picked up a book about the origins of the Keyblade. They were never allowed to read anything like that, but Jack saw no harm in it, since he already knew everything from his time with Xehanort. He heard footsteps coming, so he stuffed the book under cushions and leaned back.
Terra came walking into the room, ready to go somewhere. "Hey, Jack, you're coming, right? Aqua sweet-talked the Master into letting us go to Traverse Town for dinner!" he said excitedly. Jack grinned slightly, but didn't move from his spot on the couch.
"Nah, I think I'll pass. I'm really tired. You kids go have fun." he replied. Terra narrowed his eyes at him suspiciously while Ven came sprinting into the room.
"C'mon, Jack! Go get ready, we're gonna go out to eat!" he yelled. Halfway to the couch, he leaped onto Jack's lap, and landed on a very sensitive place.
"Ven…..please…..get off….!" the 16 year old muttered as the blonde smiled. He quickly realized what he had done.
"Oh, sorry, Jack! I didn't mean to!" he told him, quickly climbing off. Terra smirked.
"Ven, I know you're only 13, but your energy will be the death of all of us!" he said, laughing. Ven looked at him and smiled widely.
"Alright, everyone ready?" Aqua asked, walking into the room. She looked at Terra and Ven and then looked at Jack, who only had on a sleeveless shirt and shorts. "Jack, why aren't you ready to go?" she asked him. He shrugged his shoulders nervously. "We're going out to eat at a real restaurant, Jack. Are you sure you want to miss this?" she asked him, her eyebrows raising. Jack quickly shook his head, but had a smart comment too good to be left unsaid.
"Alright, I'll go, as long as it's better than your cooking, anyway." he said, bursting out with laughter. Terra and Ven quickly did the same, but went silent the second she looked at them. She looked at Jack in a haughty way, but she was smiling.
"Fine, if you don't like it, make your own meals from now on." she told him, smirking. Jack shook his head as he ran up to his room to change clothes. He put on a pair of jeans and a black hoodie. He let his vest there, though, and went back down to the door with everyone else.
Later that night, the four friends walked in to Traverse Town. "The restaurant's over there." Aqua told them, pointing to a seating area to their left. They walked over and sat down at a table. Jack conveniently sat down next to Ven, leaving Terra to sit next to Aqua. They had been looking at their menus for a few minutes when Terra gestured Jack to walk out for a minute with him.
"Let's try the wine. Aqua won't dare say anything in public, but we just can't let Ven have any. He's too young." he told him. Jack raised his eyebrows for a minute, thinking.
"If I show up to my date with Mist drunk, she's gonna kill me. But on the other hand, a drunk Terra…..this could be a fun night, after all." he thought. He smiled.
"Alright, Terra. Make your choice." he told him as they walked back to the table and sat down. A few minutes later, the waitress walked up to them.
"Alright, what does everyone want to drink?" she asked them pleasantly. Aqua looked at Ven to go first. Ven smiled at the waitress.
"I'll have some orange juice, please." he told her. She wrote it down and looked at Aqua.
"I'll have some coffee, no cream." Aqua told her. Jack cleared his throat after she wrote that down.
"We," gesturing to Terra, "would like to try some of your wine." he told her. The waitress quickly wrote it down and walked away to get their drinks. Jack and Terra met each other's gaze as they both looked at Aqua. She was giving them dangerous glares.
"Do you know how long it took me to talk the master into letting us go out to eat? You're ruining my chance of not having to cook tonight!" she yelled quietly. Jack and Terra smirked as they leaned back in their chairs.
"Oh, c'mon, Aqua! It's just one glass." Terra told her.
"It's not like it's enough to get drunk or anything." Jack agreed. She sighed and rubbed her temples.
"If you ruin this night, when we get home so help me I'll…." she stopped as the waitress walked up and put their drinks on the table. As Jack and Terra tried their first few sips of wine ever, Ven drank most of his orange juice right away. He stared at Jack's glass with envious eyes.
"Hey, Jack, can I try….?" he began.
"No." Terra, Jack, and Aqua all said at once. Ven sulked for the rest of the meal.
A while later, they all pushed their plates back and sighed, content. Aqua gave Jack and Terra another furious look as she put munny on the table and stood up. Jack and Terra sipped on their wine for another few seconds. Jack had to admit that he was feeling funny by now, and by the look on Terra's face, he was, too. "C'mon, we're leaving." Aqua said firmly as she walked off. Terra sighed as he stood up and downed the rest of his wine before following her. Jack left the rest of his wine on the table, not wanting another drop.
What nobody saw was Ven pick up Jack's half-full glass and down the rest of the wine. He then quickly ran to catch up with the others. "Ha, now nobody will know I drank it." he thought to himself triumphantly. He didn't notice the fact that he was already swaying back and forth as he walked. He would have been fine, had Aqua not looked at him and seen how he was walking.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me, Ventus!" she yelled angrily. Ven cringed at her voice. Whenever she used his full name like that, she was very angry.
"I didn't do it!" he muttered stupidly. She turned to the other two.
"Look what you've done! Get him home!" she yelled furiously.
So how's the first chapter? Most chapters will be randomly placed or timed in the canon of the trilogy. Some may even be AU. I'm thinking about even putting a few chapters about Rayne in here later on. I don't know. Well, leave a review and let me know if you liked it! This is one of the few drabbles that will take more than one chapter to finish. Anyway, see ya later!
