Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Kingdom Hearts but these ficlets. All one hundred of them. Yeah… This particular 100 Theme Challenge belongs to Iggy'sGirl15.

A/N: I was going to have Terra show Aqua a magic trick, but I liked this better if only because Axel's made of so much win. xD He doesn't know what his saying (Terra and Axel are only 9 years old here), but hey, kids say whatever they hear from someone else. :P And yes, I did hear this variation of the "K-I-S-S-I-N-G" rhyme when I was in elementary school. LOL

Thanks everyone for reading and reviewing! You have officially helped reached this to +200 reviews! :) Thank you so so much! Please enjoy and R&R!

"Terra! Terra!" Kairi ran up to the brunet as he was busy playing a fighting game with Axel. The brunet hummed in response and Kairi continued tugging on his sleeve. "I want to show you something!"

"Not now, Kairi!" Axel inched closer to the television screen. "Can't you see he's getting his butt kicked?"

Terra raised a questioning eyebrow before performing a combo with his character; earning him two-out-of-three wins. Terra smirked. "You were saying?"

"…Frick, Kairi! Go away!" Axel shooed before throwing a pillow at Terra's face, clearly venting.

Kairi pouted and rebuked, "But I want to show Terra something!"

"He doesn't want to see your stupid trick!"

"Liar!"

Terra rolled his eyes and immediately took control of the sibling squabble. "Okay, okay. Axel, it's cool. Kairi, what do you want to show me?"

The little girl beamed – sticking her tongue out at her brother – before showing Terra a coin. "Ienzo showed it to me! It's a magic trick!" She closed her palm over the coin, did a few shakes of her hand, and – when she opened her hand again – the coin was gone!

"That's neat, Kairi." Terra smiled. Though in reality, he was just being nice…Kairi was only five for crying out loud.

Axel scoffed, leering over Terra's shoulder. "That's nothing! Want me to teach you the 'boobless' trick on a calculator?"

"…Boobless?"

"Oi!" Terra scolded.

"What? It's a trick!" Axel laughed, nudging Terra's side. "C'mon. You're acting more like Kairi's brother than I am."

"And that's says something about you," Terra joked as he and Axel began play-fighting.

Kairi blinked up at the brunet. "Terra, do you have a sister?"

The boys stopped what they were doing; Kairi eyeing them with the curiosity of a kitten. Unsure, the brunet answered, "…No."

"Then you have a brother?"

Terra's expression darkened, but Axel quickly mended the situation. "Nope…but he does have a girlfriend."

Kairi's eye lit up brightly. "Wow! …What's a girlfriend?"

"It's a girl Terra makes kissy-kissy faces with," Axel explained to his little sister while puckering his lips together and made smooching sounds. Kairi started laughing while Terra began fuming.

"Knock it off, Axel!" Terra snapped, his cheeks burning with embarrassment. When Axel wouldn't stop laughing, Terra shoved him to the side. "Aqua's not my girlfriend! She's just a friend!"

Axel hummed, "Uh-huh. Keep lying to yourself, Terra. I can read you like a book no matter how many illusions you make up. Got it memorized?" Terra rolled his eyes and groaned. Stupid Axel…he's never even met Aqua! Why oh why, did Terra think it was a good idea to tell Axel about her anyways?

Suddenly, Kairi was tugging on his sleeve again and Terra spared her a glance. Kairi smiled. "I bet she's nice!"

"…She is," Terra answered with a smile of his own.

"Terra and Aqua
Hiding in a bush"

Axel pointedly sang away:

"Making a baby
Push, push, push—"

Terra shouted at the top of his lungs, "God, Axel, I'm gonna kill you!"
