Alison's Point of View
I wake in Aqua's bed. She was sitting next to me. "Morning sleepy head." She greeted. "Morning Aqua. Thanks for letting me sleep in your bed." I yawned. "No problem. Master Eraqus wanted to talk to you when you woke up. He's in the Throne Room with Master Xehanort." Aqua mentioned. "Alright. I'll head straight there after I change." I stated. I headed to my room to get dressed.
After I got dressed, I went to the Throne Room. Sure enough, Master Eraqus was standing there along with my father and Molly. Molly waved when she saw me. Dad and Master Eraqus turned to me. I walked to them.
"What's going on?" I asked. "Oh, I just dropped by for a visit. I wanted to see you agai-" Dad started, but was stopped by a certain excited little girl. "Aly! Guess what? I learned Blizzard!" Molly interrupted. "Molly, my dad was saying something. You can't just say something when someone else is talking." I scolded. She stuck her tongue out at me and marched away in a huff. I rolled my eyes. Sisters can be so aggravating.
'And childish.' Yes, and childish.
"So, how have you been?" Dad asked. "Getting used to my new normal." I stated. "It does take some getting used to, doesn't it? I remember when my Master took me here to train." He sighed. "I meant living among video game characters." I corrected. "Oh, that. You know, when I was a boy-" Dad said. "Xehanort, give the child a break. No one wants to here about you and your messed up childhood that you would never stop going on and on about." Master Eraqus interrupted in annoyance. "Well you must have been thinking of Yen Sid because my childhood was fine." Xehanort argued. "Well aside from your constant complaining." Master Eraqus scoffed. "That was you." Dad remarked. They sure do act like siblings. Gosh, I wonder how Brittany's doing. I should call her.
"I think you don't have the same memory that you used to." Master Eraqus huffed. Terra came in and noticed the two masters bickering. He came over next to me.
"This could take a while. Someone will find you when they notice you're gone, but that may be a while. Let's go spar or something." He suggested, guiding me out.
Terra and I went outside to spar. He, having more experience with the keyblade, always beat me. We finally stopped for a break. "Terra, what's your family like?" I asked, sitting down at the same cliff that Terra, Aqua, and Ventus sat at the night before Terra's and Aqua's Mark of Mastery.
"Um, probably gone by now." He stated. "Okay, fine. What was your family like?" I questioned. He paused, considering my question.
"Not that great. I lived with my father and my older sister. My mom passed away when she was giving birth to me." He answered reluctantly. "Oh, I'm so sorry." I gasped. "Don't be. If it wasn't for that, I might not be where I am now." He smiled. "Really? How so?" I wondered. "Let's save that for another time." He suggested. "So, did you have fights with your siblings?" I questioned. "Could we talk about something else?" He frowned. "Oh, okay." I mumbled.
"I'm sorry. I just don't like bringing up my past." He apologized. "That's okay. I shouldn't have asked." I said. "No, your training alongside me now. You probably should know. My dad was a drunk and my sister blames me for my mom's death. I didn't have a good childhood up until Master Eraqus found me and decided to take me in as his student. But if it wasn't for all of the bad things that happened to me, I might have never wanted to come here to train under Master Eraqus. That's how I attempt to look at it anyway." He explained. "Wow, that's... wow. I had no idea." I said. Terra got to his feet. Let's go a few more rounds and then you can go do... whatever it is that you do." Terra suggested. "Sounds great." I agreed. I guess I have a pretty good life after all. I've got a family- no, two families that love me and I don't have to worry about evil sisters. Even if they are a little annoying.
Sorry it took me so long. Thank you SoraKairiRikuNamine and JJ for your reviews.
Disneygirl125: I can try to do that. Won't make any promises, but I'll try.
