Chapter 9
Family Reunion
Terra, Aqua, and the twins walked through the refugee camp amongst the houses.
"Which house is yours again?" asked Terra.
"It should be somewhere around here," said Roxas, "if I remember correctly."
"So what exactly is your sister like, Terra?" asked Aqua.
"She's real polite and quiet. I think you'd like her." The four walked for a few more minutes.
Terra turned to his left and saw a brown-haired woman tending a flower garden. She wore a bow in her hair and a pink dress. I think that's her.
"Aerith!" The woman looked up from her garden and saw Terra.
"Terra? What are you..." She then saw her sons. "V-Ventus? Roxas? Is that you?"
The two boys ran forward. "Mom!" They embraced.
"I-I thought I l-lost you," sobbed Aerith. "I've been s-so worried!"
Xion walked outside, her eyes growing wide. "Roxas and Ventus are back!" She ran towards them and joined in the hug.
Terra walked towards his sister. "Nice to see y-"
He was interrupted by Aerith hugging him. "Thank you so much!" Terra hugged her back.
"You're welcome." Terra smiled. "This here is my friend, Aqua." He gestured to the blunette, who waved.
Aerith wiped away tears and offered her hand. "I'm Aerith. Nice to meet you."
Aqua shook it. "I'm Aqua. Nice to meet you, too."
"You both need to come inside for some tea. We'll catch up."
Ten minutes later, the adults sat in the kitchen sipping tea from mugs while the kids caught up with their friends.
"...and then we came here," finished Terra.
"I see," said Aerith. "It's nice to know you're on our side now."
"Yeah. I just hope that it's the right choice."
Aerith gently smiled. "Don't worry. I'm sure it'll work out."
"Uncle Terra!" Xion ran into the room and jumped into her uncle's arms.
"Hey, sweetie! How's it going?"
"Good! I've made lots of friends at school."
"That's great." Terra sat her down on the floor.
"I'm gonna go play with Olette now, okay, Mom?"
"Sure thing, sweetie. Be safe, okay?"
"Okay!" Xion left the room.
"I trust you've been doing well, Aerith?"
"Yes, Terra." Aerith took a sip of tea. "Also, have you heard the rumors of a truce between the countries?"
"Hm?"
"I'm not sure why now, but a lot of soldiers seem to be talking about it."
Terra's face fell. "If so, then I defected for nothing."
"Not for nothing. If not, you wouldn't have been able to go on that date with Aqua."
"Hey!" The two women laughed.
"I'm just kidding. Also, you wouldn't have run into Ventus and Roxas."
"That's true." Terra sighed. "It would just be easier if you knew what to do ahead of time. Then you could live your life without fear of the future."
"Boy, aren't you just a little ray of sunshine. Terra, if life were like that, then it wouldn't be fun."
"I know, but... it would be nice to have."
"Lighten up, Terra. You're so sentimental sometimes."
"I know..."
"Cheer up," said Aqua. "We're supposed to be happy right now, remember? Ventus and Roxas being reunited with their family and all?"
"That's true. We should celebrate," replied Aerith, who pulled a bottle out of the fridge. "Champagne, anyone?"
"Aerith, we really shouldn't..."
"Oh, don't worry. It's not like we'll get drunk or anything. You know me. Plus, the kids aren't around to see."
"Oh, okay." Terra found a trio of wine glasses in a cabinet. Aerith poured the champagne.
"To family," said Terra.
"To family," repeated the others. They clinked their glasses together and took a sip.
A half an hour later, Terra and Aqua said bye to everyone.
Walking away, Aqua said, "Your sister sure is nice. Your niece, too."
"Yeah."
"Terra, I think Aerith was right. You need to stop being so sentimental."
"Yeah... I guess I could try."
Aqua smiled. "Good. Let's go home."
