Except the plot in this fic.
Aqua looked over the complete devastation that was Terra's room. The bookcase was toppled over, the mattress halfway out the broken window (She definitely didn't want to know how that happened), Terra's sports equipment was thrown all over the room, Terra's video games were ALL OVER THE ROOM (And some on the ceiling), Terra's clothes strewn all outside of the room, the door to his room was on one hinge, the door to his closet was on no hinges whatsoever, his metal footlocker had been torn open with candy wrappers in it, and-
Aqua's eyes grew wide. She turned to Terra and spoke with a whisper, "All of it?"
Terra's face was grim. "Every last piece." Terra and Aqua stood in silence for a moment.
They both looked at each other.
At the same time, they both turned to each other and said, "What do we do now?"
Ventus crouched behind a rock in the courtyard. 'AW MAN STEALING THAT CUPCAKE WAS EASY!' He snickered to himself. He immediately jumped up and sped down to the spot where Terra, Aqua, and Ventus stargazed often.
'I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH FASTER I CAN THINK AND RUN NOW!' 'I FEEL INVINCIBLE!' Ventus twitched violently for a few seconds and started scarfing down the cupcake.
'WHY HASN'T ANYONE LET ME EAT SUGAR BEFORE!' 'THIS IS GR-' Ventus stopped eating and thinking for a second. 'WAIT A SECOND..I think I have felt this before.'
Ventus groaned as his head was slammed by memories. He HAD done this before. That Halloween night, when he ate some of Terra's candy...
FLASHBACK
"Ventus, no!" Terra's face paled as Ventus kept gobbling down the sweets. 'SO DELICOUS, OM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM.'
Terra sprinted toward Ventus and right as Terra was gonna snatch the candy away, Ventus closed his eyes and threw his body over the sack of Halloween candy.
'NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE MY CANDY!' Ventus felt the familiar pull in his midsection that signaled his Faith magic getting ready to be cast. "NO! I CAN'T USE FAITH AGAINST TERRA, HE'S MY BE-"
'He tried to steal your candy.'
Ventus opened his eyes again to see a horrified Terra. Ventus was absolutely bewildered. 'Where did that voice come from?'
The voice returned, but this time it pounded inside of Ventus's head like his brain just tripled in volume. 'Silly child, you don't understand yet. I. Am. You. Now, do the right thing, blow Terra away, keep your candy that he is trying so hard to steal.'
"He is trying to take it, but I'm not willing to hur-." The voice interrupted him quickly. 'IT IS DELICOUS CANDY, YOU MUST EAT IT.' Ventus closed his eyes again, and started stuffing his face with more candy. It was a sad sight, seeing a 15 year old kid scarfing candy and oddly enough, crying as well.
Ventus soon heard the tell tale sound of a keyblade being summoned. Ventus looked up to see that Terra had gone into the Thunderbolt Command Style.
Ventus' eyes widened in shock. Terra charged the small boy. In a last ditch effort, Ventus threw up his arms and yelled,
"DON'T TASE ME, BR-"
END FLASHBACK
Horrified with himself, Ventus stopped eating the cupcake. He threw it on the ground and smashed it with his foot. Ventus regretted doing that the moment he heard a feminine gasp right behind him. Ventus turned around to see it was none other than Aqua, who looked like she was going to burst into tears.
Five minutes earlier.
"Okay, Aqua, I'm going to check the usual places in the castle, you need to head out to the courtyard and surrounding areas to see if maybe Ventus escaped out there." Terra motioned to their assigned areas.
Aqua nodded and sprinted outside the castle gates. Time was very short, and if they didn't find Ventus soon, then his alter ego would take over the moment his blood sugar peaked.
Aqua was running up the path that lead to the spot where she, Terra, and Aqua would Stargaze together. She bounded the last corner to see a blonde boy hunched over a small pastry. Aqua watched in horror as the boy proceeded to talk to himself, eat half the cupcake, have an epileptic episode, argue with himself, then smashed the cupcake on the ground. To make it worse, he went as far as to stomp on it. Aqua gasped despite her best efforts to contain it. Ventus whirled around to see the wreck of a young woman that was Aqua at that moment.
"Aqua!" Ventus' face paled.
She couldn't believe it. How could he? Ventus, one of her two best friends, completely destroyed one of the cupcakes she worked so hard to make. In fact, HOW DARE HE?
'The little guy wants to destroy others accomplishments, does he?' Aqua felt her rage building. At this point, Ventus was scared out of his mind. He made one last feeble attempt to reconcile with Aqua, by walking tentatively toward her and acting like he was apologetic, but one glare from Aqua's eyes shut down all hopes of the young man ending this conflict alive.
MEANWHILE
"So THAT'S what she thinks of me and Ven!" Terra sat down on the edge of Aqua's bed and grabbed a Twizzler from his pocket. Terra flipped through Aqua's journal, just browsing through the pages, looking for nothing in particular. "Interesting stuff, lets see... Armor specifications, training schedule..." Terra stopped. 'Clothing sizes?' Terra looked at the book quizzically. Terra's eyes widened from realization when he looked further down the page. Terra's mind went to *ahem* "other places", when he saw 'Undergarment Sizes'.
Upon seeing that, Terra set the book down on the bed. Terra looked over his shoulder and all around Aqua's room, making sure no one was there. The brunette then stopped, closed his eyes, and crossed his arms.
'What justification do I have for reading this?'
His mind immediately responded with, 'I have always wondered how big "they" were...' Terra opened his eyes and stared at the wall for three seconds.
Terra sprinted towards the bed grabbing the book and started reading fervently.
Ventus needed to resolve this. Now. His entire brain was devoted to respiration, standing, and thinking of a way to apologize.
"Aqua, I'm really sorry, I-I-I don't k-know what I w-w-was doing, and..." Ventus cringed at the waves of anger LITERALLY coming off her.
'Wait a minute, those aren't waves of anger, they feel like heat being prepared for a firaga spell.' Even though magic wasn't his forte, Aqua taught him the basics of predicting an opponents next magic attack.
"Aqua?" Aqua started walking slowly toward Ven.
"A-Aqua, what are you d-d-doing?" Aqua was still walking towards Ven, with no sign of stopping.
After closing half the distance between them, Aqua suddenly stopped. Ven was about to sigh with relief, when Aqua spoke.
"Ven, what is the number one rule when it comes to food?" Ven was startled, mostly because this question was a curve ball out of F**KING NOWHERE.
"Um, make sure to always have enough of each ingredient?" Ven hoped, nay, PRAYED that was the answer.
Unfortunately for him, it wasn't. "Try again, Ventus." Aqua smirked.
Ven was panicking, he had gotten it wrong, and on top of that, Aqua only called him Ventus whenever the situation called for formality, or intimidation. (Of course in this case its the latter.)
"Is it make sure the oven is preheated to the right temperature before cooking?"
Aqua shook her head. "No Ven. Try again, you have one last chance."
In sheer fear, Ventus blurted, "Never give me simple sugars?"
Aqua's face went from smug to sadistic. "NOPE!"
Aqua instantly vanished, and the next thing Ven knew, he felt the blunt end of a keyblade being slammed against his head.
Ven woke up in his bed, feeling nothing but grogginess, the urge to urinate, and an XBOX HUGE pain in his head.
Suddenly, sugar-free cookies were shoved into his mouth. Due to it being a surprise, Ven inhaled some of it into his lungs, causing him to cough out that, and the rest that was still in his mouth. Being fully awake now, Ven looked up into crystal blue orbs that were observing his every movement. Ven was seriously creeped out at first, but relieved when he realized it was Aqua. Then had a panic attack when he realized it was AQUA.
"HHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG." Ven clutched his chest.
"Don't worry Ven, I won't hurt you now!" This calmed him down a bit.
"Alright." Ven still looked at Aqua with worry. 'What happened to her yesterday?' 'She completely went mental on me.'
Sensing Ven's confusion, Aqua decided to fill him in. "Ven, do you want to know the number one rule in cooking?"
Fighting the need to sleep and the pain from his head, Ven looked up. "What's that?"
Aqua turned to Ventus and told him in the most serious way possible, "Never waste food, especially someone else's."
Ventus chuckled as Aqua rose from her seat and left the room. The boy laid back down. Ventus was going to get more sleep when he heard a groan from the doorframe. Bolting upright, Ventus saw it was only Terra. With 2 out of five limbs in casts, with bandages on parts of his body that weren't in casts.
"What happened to you?" Ventus hardly disguised his surprise.
Terra hobbled over to Ventus's bed. "Ventus, I'm going to give you a piece of advice that I hope that you will not only listen to, but actually follow."
Ventus was lost. As he usually was when Terra got philosopical. "Alright, lay it on me."
Terra grimaced and then spoke, "There is a certain combination of a letter and number that you should never say out loud, or god forbid, to a girl."
"Dude, what?" Ventus couldn't follow where Terra was going with his "advice".
Terra kept going, ignoring the young keyblade wielder. "That combination is..." Terra paused for dramatic effect.
Ventus leaned in, slightly anxious and curious as to what this magical combination was.
In barely a whisper, Terra mouthed,
"36c"
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it, etc, etc. I (probably) won't be able to continue writing anymore, because I am moving in a few days time, and won't have internet access. Sorry about the late update, I actually didn't plan this one out before putting it up, so it took a bit. Plus I was busy with school and the like. Thanks to all who have reviewed, alerted, or faved me and/or this fic. Cya! Although, I hope not forever!
