Having a Wild Time – Aqua

"Come on, Aqua!" Terra coaxed.

"Please?" Ven pleaded, kneeling in front of me. It was hard to keep my serious composure at the adorably hilarious sight. "We promise it'll just be this one time!"

"It's not like it'll hurt anything," Terra reasoned with some logic that was completely beyond me. Who knew what the Master would do if he figured out about this?

"The fact remains that we're breaking curfew. We can't go that far from the castle after dark." I crossed my arms.

Terra smirked. "You said 'we.' Does that mean you're in?"

"No!" I objected much too loudly for the dark, narrow hallway. My voice echoed eerily. Please, don't let me wake the Master now!

"Shh!" Terra hushed, then whispered, "It'll be awesome. Have you ever seen the falls at night?"

"Of course not." Because I, unlike some people, respected my Master. Terra's wild plan would surely get us all triple chores for a month. At the least. There were always enough things that could be piled on us when we (and by 'we' I mean 'Terra and Ven') misbehaved.

"That's right, you've never broken a single rule in your life. Except that one…" Terra said smugly, making my face turn hot.

"That was a long time ago," I defended.

"You broke a rule, Aqua?" Ven asked incredulously. The incident had been before he had come to the Land of Departure, but I couldn't tell him that, as he believed he'd always lived here. That's what Master Eraqus told us was best.

"Yep, and I can tell the Master at any time," Terra had waved that threat over my head for years, but not usually like this. "So you'll come, right? We'll have a great time."

"And we can go swimming!" Ven bounced in excitement.

I dropped my face into my hands. They wouldn't let me go to sleep in peace now that I knew their plan, and I couldn't let them go on their own even without Terra's threat. The path to the falls was treacherous even in daylight, and I knew the road better than they did since I went swimming so often.

And then there was the fact that I was secretly excited to go on a short adventure with my two best friends. We'd been training so much lately that we barely had any time to play around.

I sighed. "Fine. I'm in."

A/N: This 'fic needs more BbS trio; I don't write about them much. And I'm sure I completely mess up Terra's character 'cause I go almost completely by fanon with him. BbS needed more of them being friends and interacting and not being mad at each other. :C
