Chapter 5
"Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra!" Ventus yelled on the other end of the phone. Terra winced upon hearing his named called out repeatedly. Never in his life had he been more annoyed to hear someone calling his own name, until now. He looked over at his alarm clock and it read 3:13 to his annoyance. His friend was notorious for phone calls like this, and they occurred far too often. Terra was surprised he managed sane after all these years with Ven in his life.
"Ven, this better be important. It is 3AM and if you don't have a good reason to call me I swear you are-" Terra growled into the phone before being cut off by his friend who was unfazed by the threats.
"It's Aqua! She is coming back! She just texted me! Aqua will be back at 7, so you have 4 hours to come up with a plan to make her fall in love with you again!" Ven squealed like a little girl into the phone. Terra felt his heart stop once he heard her name, at first he thought it was just going to be news on how she was doing. But it turns out she was coming back! He threw his phone onto his bed and started running around his house screaming like a mad man (technically his uncle Ansem's house, because he moved back to Twilight Town again) until he disturbed Ansem's sleep.
"What is your problem kid?" Ansem said as he rubbed his eyes tiredly. Terra surprised Ansem when he grabbed his uncle's face and pulled it down so he could kiss the top of his uncles head. Then Terra continued to sing songs of joy while skipping down the hallway.
His uncle went into his room and picked up the phone, which Ven was still squealing like a little girl on the other end.
"Ven?" Ansem called into the phone.
"Yeah? Ansem? Where is Terra?" Ven politely answered after he calmed down enough to speak legible words.
"Dancing down around the house." He mused into the phone. "Is Justin Bieber coming to town or something?"
"Haha no! Aqua is coming back!" He screamed on the other end.
"Well that's great, now I'll get Terra to call you back okay?" Ansem said as he hung up the phone not bothering to wait for an answer from the young blonde.
He walked down the hallway to find Terra sitting in the corner gazing off into the distance. He was deep in thought and Ansem didn't want to disturb him as long as he was quiet. So after finally going back to bed he heard shuffling of feet on the hardwood floor.
"I'm going out!" He heard Terra call from another room before hearing a loud slam. Ansem came to the conclusion that he was going to the train station regardless of the time that she may arrive. All he hoped for was that he wouldn't get burned by her again.
x.x.x.
Ven was confused when he heard the usual 'click' sound when someone hangs up on you on his phone. He had never thought that Ansem was one to hand up on people like that, none the less he did call at 3am. But it was big news; all he was worried about was how Aqua would react to Terra. Because Ven knew his friend would probably already be waiting at the train station for her. It was the only way to get to this part of Twilight Town regardless of where you are coming from so it was obvious she would be travelling by train.
Then it hit him. He hadn't told his dad yet. He booked it down the hallway and slammed his father's bedroom door open. Eraqus sat up immediately upon hearing someone slam a door. Still in a half asleep half awake state, he didn't realize it was Ven. Eraqus quickly grabbed a wooden sword placed under his bed, then went after the intruder still not realizing that it was Ven.
Once again Ven was making sounds that only girls should make. But this time it wasn't shrieks of joy and excitement, it was shrieks of terror. It wasn't until Ven mentioned Aqua's name that Eraqus finally snapped out of it.
"She is coming back? When?" He asked grabbing his son by the shoulders and shaking his violently as if he was trying to shake the answer out of him.
"You almost killed me! And you act as if nothing happened? I'm not speaking until you apologize." Ven said as he turned away from his father and crossed his arms.
"Ven, you are such a-"
"Child? Yes, I am as a matter of fact."
"Ha! You talked!"
"I don't recall such a thing, and yet I still hear no apologies."
"I am sorry you are such a child..."
"Well that's as good as it's going to get!" Ven exclaimed as he turned around to face his father. "Aqua is coming back I guess she snapped out of it finally and she will be here at 7. And I think Terra might already be at the station waiting."
"Okay, let's just hope everything goes well between the two of them. Terra is a good kid, and she needs someone like him. Terra is probably the only guy I will ever approve of regarding Aqua." Eraqus sighed. Ventus started to head back to his room when Eraqus spoke up again. "Kid, aren't you going to meet Terra at the station?"
"Nope, I think he needs time to think up of a plan."
"What are you talking about?"
"A plan to renew Aqua's trust in Twinkies." Ven said, his father only raised a brow at his son's remark and went back to sleep.
x.x.x.
4:55. That what the time read on Terra's watch when he looked back at it for the millionth time this morning. His impatience was almost pitiful; every train that went by his heart skipped a beat hoping somehow it would be Aqua. Even though Ven previously stated that she would arrive at 7.
Terra didn't even know what he would do when she showed up. What would he do? What would she do? Would she come back to him? Or was she just coming back for her family? Regardless of what her choices were in coming back, he would persevere like he did a couple years ago which had won her heart over in the first place.
Slowly his watch turned to 5:00, and trains come and go every hour, he could hear the distant sound of the train hitting its breaks before finally seeing it come to a stop at the terminal. Out of habit he looked at those exiting the train, a steady stream of businessmen in suits some travellers passed by his. He was lounging on a nearby bench waiting for the 7oclock train.
But as the crowd of passengers exiting the train dwindled in numbers. One last passenger made their way from the train. The stranger looked female suggested by the clothing she wore, and she looked into the distance as if expecting someone to be there, then checked a wristwatch before heading to a bench about 20 metres from Terra. She continued to look around before her eyes rested on Terra. Her eyes were the color of the ocean itself, maybe that's why they called her Aqua. Because it was Aqua looking straight at him.

THEN ANOTHER TRAIN COMES AND RUNS THE TWO OVER, AND THEY BOTH DIE!... THE END...
Haha just kidding, but the cliff-hanger is real sorry to say. But I will try my best to get the next chapters updated, as I do plan on making a big deal out of this reunion.
So bye for now! And if I don't update in the next couple days don't freak out, it means I have to work OT for the billionth time... or I have died. Yeah...
