Thanks for all the reviews, so now on to another Terra chapter

Terra took his sister to the bathroom next to his room to clean her up. He was dabbing a wet rag under Des' nose, wiping away the blood and checking to make sure it wasn't bruised or anything. All while Des laughed on inside, Terra had always been like this with her. He always was this overly protective brother that most sisters would hate. With her she didn't, it was nice to know someone would keep her safe since her father wouldn't. It had been that way ever since they were kids.

She remembered this one time when she was five she skinned her knee. Terra immediately ran to her the instance he heard her cry and picked her up and ran her back to their house only to find out it was locked. Instead of just waiting outside or going to one of his neighbors houses he put Des on his back and climbed his one story house to the balcony. Des could remember how tightly she hung onto him, only because of the marks that she left on his neck that lasted for a week. She couldn't help but let out a giggle as she thought. Which made her brother stop and look at her queerly.

"What, ticklish?" he asked as he did a quick sweep across her nose, trying to tickle her, making her chuckle as she shook her head

"No, I was just thinking…" she began to say then was abruptly interrupted by the sounds of the door slamming open with one obnoxious man yelling out

"Man! I need to take a dump like there's no tommor…" he said then stopped short when he saw them with small smiles on their faces as they held back their laughter. He just snorted and said

"Oh shut up both of you, I didn't know anyone was in here. By the way Terra didn't know you played nurse" he said with a snort as he kept walking forward and unbuckled his pants. Both of them immediately put a hand over their eyes as Terra asked, rather yelled out

"Do you have no sense of decency?"

"At all?" Des added as Terra helped her down and headed for the door.

"Decency? If I had decency then I wouldn't be the best fighter in town now would I, and that's another thing how could a kid of mine complain about a bloody nose. I once had both my arms broken and still won a fight without com…" before he finished Terra slammed the door shut.

'That man…' he thought to himself as he shook his head '…if there's a god then why did he make me his son?' Des saw the slight flicker of anger mixed with disgust in her brother's eyes, something she knew need to vanish immediately or else he was going to be in a bad mood for the rest of the day. So a idea came to her mind

"Hey Terra let's go see mom I think she might be in that big room right next to the front doors?" She asked, making Terra snap out of his thoughts and look down at his sister and nod

"Yeah let's do that" he said and began to walk with his sister right next to him, navigating her through the castle so she wouldn't get lost. To be honest he had gotten lost a couple of times in here in the past.

But gladly within a matter of minutes they took had taken echoed steps into the grand entry room which looked a little different than before. All around the room were bright color filled lights lined with bushy tinsel hung underneath it all centering around the tree and spreading throughout the entire room.

"Wow" Des said to herself as Terra put on a small smile with a look that almost looked like he was going to cry. The whole room reminded him of Christmases back home, because it basically looked like the same set up.

Then from across the room they saw their mother on the top of a latter, finishing putting up the last of the lights. When she did finish, she turned around and waved to her children.

"Hey guys!"

"Hey mom" they both said as they walked over to her as she started her way down the ladder. But just as she was stepping down, one of the steps broke and caused her to lose her balance and fall. Both Terra and Des gasped in unison as their mother started to scream. Terra quickly jumped into action and summoned his keyblade. Then he threw it out in front of him and made it transform into his rider and watched it zoom up to his mother and catch her. He sighed in relief when he saw his mother clutching onto rider, safe and alive.

"Close one" he said to himself then looked up to see the ladder falling towards him and Des

"OH SHOOT!" He yelled out as he grabbed her and did a quick dodge to the left and got out of the way. The latter crashed to the ground into several pieces as Terra got up with his sister who looked at the now broken latter

"Ok that was closer" he said to himself as he looked back to his rider and commanded it to lower itself to ground level. When it landed in front of him and his sister he put a hand over his mother, who was still quacking in fear at what had almost happened, to let her know it was ok now.

"Mom...mom…" he said as he shook her. Then Des started to shake her

"Mom… mom it's alright your safe now all thanks to Terra" Des said as they watched their mom slowly uncoil and get off her son's rider. She took a quick look at herself to make sure she was ok and even pinched herself to make sure she wasn't in some kind of after death dream. Terra and Des chuckled at her as she let out a sigh of relief then quickly hugged her son.

"Thank you Terra" Terra hugged back with a smile

"Don't mention it mom" he said humbly. Terra noticed something weird with his mother as he hugged her, her heart felt like it was going to explode from how fast it was beating. As he let go of his mom he looked at her and could tell she was paler then the last time he saw her "Gez mom you don't look good, maybe you should sit down in your room for a bit?" He asked her and she nodded.

"Yes your right, heh… there's no rollercoaster that'll match that thrill ride I just went through" she joked taking in a breath to try and calm her heart. She was going to take her son's advice and started for her room. But not before she gave her son a light kiss on the cheek to thank him again, which made Terra blush like a tomato. He loved kisses from his mom, it had been his reward for doing good ever since he was a baby.

Then just as all this was happened, Aqua and her mother ran out of the kitchen with master Eraqus rushing into the room as well.

"What happened?" His master asked as he, Aqua, and her mother stopped by the three, noticing the broken ladder and Terra's mother semi-hyperventilating to try and calm her heart

"Nothing I just fell is all" she explained as her children vouched for her

"Oh my… my deepest apologizes Ms. Elise, I should've have given you the metal ladder instead of the wooden one" he said sincerely as he picked up the remains of the ladder

"I'll just throw this out"

"Wait master allow me" Aqua said as she took it off his hands. She felt gracious towards him since he let her borrow his credit card to buy gifts and let her family come stay her for the weekend, so this was the least she could do to say thanks.

"Why thank you Aqua" he said then watched her walk away from them in the direction of the fireplace, it would make good kindling. Then Terra's mom gasped as everyone looked to her to see why

"What?" Terra asked

"I forgot to put this up" she said as she raised her hand and showed everyone a small plant with a couple red berries on it.

"Mistletoe?" Eraqus asked as she nodded at him

"Yeah I thought it seemed pretty festive"

"Well your right it is" Aqua's mother said as Terra's mom handed it to her son as she pointed over to the top of the door

"Terra if you don't mind can you please put that on the top of the hallway entrances for me?" Terra hesitated, because his master had told him on many occasions not to use the keyblade for ridiculous things such as this. But his master looked over to him and gave him a nod to say that for this one time he could do this. Then Terra, with a grin, summoned his keyblade and turned it into its glider form and flew toward the ceiling and pinned one on each of the hallways entrances. Then he looked back to his mother and asked

"Hows that?" his mother looked at it a little funny then pointed her finger to the left

"A little to the…"

"I got it" he said as he moved it a little then looked back at her to see she was giving him a thumbs up. That put a smile on his face as he descended down to the ground and watched his glider disappear in flash of light. Then he heard Aqua coming down the hall, dusting off the little chips of wood on her. Terra happily grinned at her which she returned with a grin of her as she looked at him then to one of the large windows in the entryway

"Oh look it's snowing some more" Terra looked out the window to and chuckled as he looked back to his friend

"Guess it's certain were going to have a white Christmas" Then almost out of nowhere both their mothers and Terra's sister went

"Ouuuuu" that made Terra and Aqua look over to them, questioning why they were doing that. They found out when Des pointed to the recently placed mistletoe on top of the ceiling. They quickly looked at each other then back at them and yelled out

"NO!"

"But rules are rules" Aqua's mom said as she crossed her arms and smiled, almost smugly

"But… but… Master" Terra asked his master, hoping he would get him out of this. But his master wasn't going to help, he was to busy chuckling at the silliness of the situation

"Sorry Terra but rules are rules, so go ahead" then they both sighed and looked at each other. They both looked into each other's eyes and could just tell the other one really didn't want to do it. But just so their families wouldn't be hanging it over their heads for the rest of their stay they decided to just do it. So they puckered their lips and heard their families 'ou's' change to 'aw's' as they, for a split second, kissed. Then they saw a flash of light that made them quickly look back at them.

"DES!" Terra yelled out as his sister showed their mother and Aqua's mother the picture that she had just taken with her phone. That made Terra blush red as he rushed toward her with a angry look on his face

"YOU BETTER DELETE THAT!"

"Oh boy" she said sarcastically as she began to run through the castle with her phone in hand making sure to keep it away from her brother. Leaving Aqua alone, standing still, as her mother walked down to her and waved her hand in front of her daughters face

"Aqua? Honey you ok?" then Aqua snapped out of her little trance and looked at her mother and lied

"Uh yeah mom I'm perfectly fine"

Next one's Aqua's turn
