......... Our First time with Weapons......

"I got my first sword! I got my first sword....." Vyse called joyfully as he paraded around.

Today was the first time he and Aika got to use their own weapons. He was given his father's old cutlass and Aika was given a brand new boomerang.

Vyse didn't care that his sword was old. All he cared about was going off to find something to use as target practice.

Aika came over to him and spoke.

"Vyse? Can you shut up about that now?" she was annoyed how he wouldn't be quiet. After all, she got a new weapon, too!

"Okay...... Hey! Let's go set up some cans on a fence and take some practice in," Vyse was still excited. "I really wish they were bad guys though! I want to kick some bad-guy-butt when we're older!"

Aika laughed. Then she said sarcastically, "Yeah! You will be a great swordsmen and defeat the strongest person in Arcadia!"

She started cracking up. Vyse started to pout.

"For all you know, I could save the world!" He sounded confident but Aika laughed even more.

"Sure! You'll probably be known as 'Vyse the Silly Pirate Who Depends On His Best-Friend To Bail Him Out' or something like that!"

"Oh, whatever!" He said, "Does target practice ring a bell? I want to practice with my cool sword!" Aika nodded for him to go and set up some cans. She then left to get her boomerang.

(later in the afternoon)

"I have taken down those cans with ease!" Vyse congratulated himself, even though he had cut his hand a few times with the blade. "How are you fairing with that boomerang?"

Aika was trying to aim the boomerang at a small rock. She wound up and threw the colorful piece of wood. The only thing that went wrong was that she held on to it for a split second too long.

It flew off aim and headed for Vyse.

"Vyse lookout!" Cried Aika. But it was too late. Sure, Vyse tried to dodge it, but he wasn't fast enough.

He fell back onto the ground unconscious. Aika scrambled over to him.

"Oh Great Moons!" she yelled. Aika started to cry.

She got up and ran to Vyse's house shouting "Mrs. Dyne! Mrs. Dyne!"

Mrs. and Captain Dyne stepped outside hearing Aika. She ran up to them. Her eyes were full of tears.

"What's the matter dear?" Vyse's mom asked concerned.

"I killed Vyse!" Aika cried out. She started sobbing even more.

Captain Dyne already went out to find Vyse. When he saw him, he rushed to his side. Vyse moaned and sat up.

"My head..." He groaned. Near his forehead, there was a huge welt.

Captain Dyne smiled at the thought of Aika thinking she had killed him. He helped his son up and brought him back to the house.

"I don't think you two should use weapons for a while. We'll try again when you turn ten," He said while Aika was going through her list of apologies.

A.N: Two more mini stories after this! Enjoy!
