Okay, this arc is actually inspired by a comic that my friend showed me a few months ago.

It's by KimYoshiko over on DeviantArt, and this person actually has quite a few Birth By Sleep comics on her account.

I highly advise you read them if you want a chuckle.

I know I was entertained by them.

Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts, Birth By Sleep, Disney and quite possibly the idea itself, belong to their respective owners.

All I own is the execution of said idea.

Enjoy!


"Terra? Terra! Terra, come on, you promised me you would teach me how to fly today!" Ventus shouts as he walks into his best friend's bedroom, fully hoping that Terra would forget what had happened the last time that he had tried teaching Ven how to use a Keyblade Glider.

After all, he had apologized to the Master and he did try to fix the mountain that he broke.

Sure, he had screwed up and made half of the mountain collapse in a rockslide, but the thought that he was actually trying to learn something was what counted, right?

"No, Ven. Let me read." Terra snaps angrily, flipping the page of his book lazily. He had been trying to read this book for over a month and he couldn't get past the first chapter because Ven kept interrupting. For the stupidest reasons. Like learning how to use a Keyblade Glider.

"YOU PROMISED." Ventus chokes out, tears brimming in his eyes as he stares at his best friend. He seemed to be absolutely hurt by his friend's heartlessness in not teaching him this one skill. Even though he had promised. Several times. For months.

Terra looks up at Ven and sees him crying. He very quietly closes his novel, slamming the book together with his hands as he gets up and looks out the window. He observes the peaceful and calm scene of birds flying outside of his tower window and the sight of what looked like Aqua and the Master working on magic spells in the back garden.

He looks back over at Ven and says "Don't care," before sitting back down on his bed and opening his book again.

Ventus bursts into tears, looking absolutely heartbroken.

"You promised, you promised, you promised!" He howls in a childish sob, stamping his foot angrily as he glares at his so-called friend.

"Go jump out a window." Terra suggests sarcastically, flipping a page in his book as he finally gets back to how the main character was racing his best friend in a footrace on their island home.

Ven stares at him for a moment before his eyes brighten in excitement. He runs over to the window, opens it up and puts a foot on the windowsill.

"Like this?" He asks as he summons his Wayward Wind eagerly. He looks over at Terra for approval.

"Uh huh. Just like that." Terra says, not paying attention as he becomes more and more involved with the story.

"Okay!" Ven says as he climbs up onto the windowsill and gets ready to jump out.

Just then, Terra actually looks up.

His jaw drops in horror as he jumps out of his chair, running over to the window in a state of panic.

"VEN!" Terra shrieks as the little blonde manages to let go of the ledge, holding his Wayward Wind tightly in his right hand.

In the nick of time, Terra manages to grab Ven by the scruff of his shirt, just barely saving the kid from possibly plummeting to his death about three stories below. Ven yelps in pain as the force of Terra grabbing him starts to choke him and he scrambles wildly against the tower's stone wall, trying to get some kind of grip.

"What the hell's wrong with you?" Terra shouts in anger as he braces his feet against his window frame, struggling to keep Ventus from falling.

"You told me to jump! AAAAH! It's HIGH!" Ventus shrieks in horror, grabbing at Terra's hands desperately.

"Well, stop wiggling and I won't drop you, you moron!" Terra shouts back at him, ignoring the footsteps that were coming from behind him.

"… Terra, what are you doing? And why are you hanging out of the window?" Aqua asks curiously, trying to peer over Terra's shoulder to see what he was doing. Considering this was Terra, he could have easily dropped something down on the ledge below his window. She smiles, ready to help Terra if he wanted her to.

"AQUA, HELP! TERRA'S GONNA DROP ME!" Ventus shrieks as he smacks his Wayward Wind against the building, trying to grab onto the windowsill so he could help Terra pull him up.

Within the span of three seconds, Aqua's smile had faded and she had already shoved Terra partially out of the way to grab the other side of Ven's shirt collar in an effort try to yank the poor blonde back inside.

"WHAT HAPPENED?" She shrieks angrily, glaring at Terra as they slowly, but surely, they had started to lift the surprisingly heavy blonde back up to the room. Terra jabs his chin in Ven's direction just as angrily, saying:

"This idiot just decide to jump out the window!"

"Oh, you're well on your way to win Brother of The Year, right, Terra! Help me pull him up before the Master finds-" Aqua snarls sarcastically at him as a soft snapping noise suddenly comes from the windowsill. The three of them turn pale as they stare at each other in horror.

"Uh-oh." Ven and Terra say in unison as the windowsill suddenly breaks from the immense weight on it (later, Aqua would blame Terra for having a weird balance on it and Terra and Ven would secretly blame Aqua's cooking for it) and all three of them tumble down the side of the tower and land with a crash on-

"Ow… What the?" Terra moans as he scrambles to grab onto the large floating shield-like disk that had suddenly appeared below them. Besides him, Ven and Aqua were trying to do the same. Without warning, a very familiar hand suddenly appears in front of Terra.

"Ventus, Terra, Aqua… you're in trouble." Master Eraqus states calmly as he hauls his student up and then grabs Ventus by the scruff of his jacket, pulling him up, too. In silent unison, Terra and Ven help Aqua up. Immediately, the trio starts to protest.

"I was only trying to learn how to fly on the Glider-"

"I was only checking up on Ven and Terra-"

"How was I supposed to know that this idiot would jump out the window-!"

"ENOUGH." Master Eraqus says sharply, instantly shutting them up. He looks at them solemnly as he carefully navigates his Glider down with a light thud on the grounds. He silently points to Aqua and Ventus to walk into the Castle to await further instructions. When Terra tries to follow them, he quickly shakes his head no, indicating that the teenager was to stay right there with him.

"Terra…. What happened?" The Master asks quietly as the other two walk inside, glancing back in mild fear at Terra. They both obviously didn't want him to be punished on their account.

"… I didn't want to teach Ven to use the Glider. I mean, you saw what happened last-" Terra tries to explain but the Master gives him a sorrowful glare. He immediately shuts up.

"Terra… You should take care of Ventus, not alienate him and refuse to teach him. You know why I cannot, and Aqua, as fine a student she is, would be a poor choice to teach Ventus this skill. I trust you to show him the way. This is an order, not a request. Within a fortnight, you will teach Ventus how to summon and control his Keyblade Glider. Do you understand?" Master Eraqus orders coldly. Terra nods solemnly, bowing his head formally at his teacher.

"Yes master." Terra mutters darkly, knowing that he would have to do it now. Without another word, he marches into the Castle, going to the kitchens where he knew Ven and Aqua were waiting for him.

The minute he walks in, though, Ventus leaps up from his chair at the table and hugs him tightly.

"Now you gotta teach me! The Master said so!" Ventus says eagerly, smiling broadly at his friend in excitement. Terra gives him a glare before smacking the hyper blonde between the eyes, forcing him to let go so he could get something to eat.

"WAAAAAH! Aqua, Terra hit me!" Ven shouts in pain, holding his forehead in shock.

Terra sighs.

This was going to be a very long lesson.


Well, I always thought that Ven and Terra act a little like brothers and Aqua's like their unofficial older sister/mom/possible love interest.

Master Eraqus, of course, is the very nice but stern Dad (in Terra's case) and Stepfather (In Ven's case).

So, that's why their relationships are like this.

Besides, I had to show Master Eraqus's serious side for once, right?

I mean, he was pretty goofy in the pilot chapter.

Anyway, see you guys next time and I hope you've enjoyed this!
