“.....what?” Aqua’s voice said in a soft whisper, as Terra looked at her worried a bit as her face was turning pale white

“ Yep! I talked to one of the heroes that I’ve met during one of my visits off world! He told me his son has a quirk that’s very bad on his body, and he wants a bride for him that has a water and healing quirk! I immediately offered you up, oh baby you're going to make such a beautiful bride!”  Anzu gushed over the phone

“ M-Mom h-hang on, let’s talk about this, I-I can’t get married, I’m only 16, I’m supposed to turn seventeen in a couple of months, b-but the law says I can’t get married until I’m eighteen-”

“ Shut your mouth and listen.”

Aqua froze, clamming up after Anzu said that in a cold and imitating voice. “ The law does say you have to be eighteen...but the law also says that if one person is underage… the parent can give the blessing for marriage, and there are also other worlds where you can get married at sixteen...now listen dear...you will do what I say. You’re going to be married, and be a perfect little wife, possibly have kids, and still train under me, so you can become the perfect Keyblade Master...and if you don’t...well...I’ll make sure Isa and Piri’s lives will be a living hell...and you wouldn’t want that...would you?”

Aqua’a hand trembled as she said in a soft and meek voice, “ Y….Yes ma’am…”

“ Good girl! Oh you will make such a beautiful bride! Ohh~ my little girl is growing up! Perhaps you’ll no longer be ugly anymore! Like the ugly duckling story you loved being read to when you were a little girl! Anyways dear, I have to get going, my little princess needs to wake up, since we have a long day ahead of us! Bye!!” Anzu said in a singsong voice.

The other line ended up disconnecting, meaning Anzu had hung up as Aqua’s arm went limp staring down at the ground as Terra looked at her in worry and in shock from what he had heard Aqua say.

Aqua turned her head to Terra and said, in an almost hushed tone of voice, “ I...I think I’m going to be sick..”

He saw as she ran over to bushes and actually threw up in them, as he walked over to her as she finished throwing up her breakfast, wiping her mouth to make sure there was none on her face. 

She looked at him as he had fear in his eyes as he hugged her closely, she could feel him slightly trembling as she looked up at him and asked,a bit surprised to have seen the fear in his eyes, and how he was shaking “ Terra..?”

“...n.” he muttered something, she couldn’t hear him

“ Huh..?”

“...y-you need to run away or something...I-I’ll even run with you, w-we can both go on the run or something! Y-Your only sixteen! Y-You can’t get married, I-I won’t let that happen! N-Not only do you not know the person, you're already in a relationship, a-and you're pregnant. Aqua, run away, don’t let her keep doing this to you! I can leave everything behind, I don’t care about U.A anymore, a-and I can give up becoming a Keyblade Master-”

“ No!” Aqua immediately shouted, making him look at her, getting out of his muttering and panic phase for a bit, his eyes shaking as he whispered,tears welling up in his eyes “ I-I..I can’t lose you Aqua…”

“...I know...but giving up your dreams for me...that’s something I can’t let you do Terra…” Aqua told him, holding him close as she felt his tears soak her cardigan as he cried, she held him close as she kept everything inside, bottling her emotions up, as she was trying to calm him down. 

“ Aqua...I can’t lose you...I love you, a-and y-your my best friend! Besides Toshinori, Gran Torino or mom…..I-I’m sure if we talk to ether Toshinori or mom t-they can help!” Terra said, a somewhat hopeful but scared look in his eyes as he grabbed her wrists and started to walk to the private property where his adoptive mother and Toshinori were.

“...Terra, what are we going to do?” Aqua asked, not knowing what to do.

“ Talk to mom and Gran Torino...t-they’ll know what to do.” Terra said, trying to be positive. 

“..then what? What if they can’t help? What then?” She asked, fear in her eyes, “ What are we going to do? With the baby, my siblings, my mom. She is going to find out…she’s going to probably lose it…” Aqua said, as she stopped walking as Terra looked back at her, seeing the worry and fear in her eyes, as tears started to pool in her eyes. 

“...Ehi ... Aqua, ascoltami.” Terra spoke softly making her look up, confused, not knowing what he was saying.

( Hey ... Aqua, listen to me.)

{Quick Author Note: ” I’m going to let characters in these series speak Italian and Japanese and other languages possibly. So since I am such a nice person, I will translate what that person is saying. I just wanted to give you a heads up. So when you see () those, after a sentence that is in another language, it means that’s the english version. Now, onto the story!)

“ H-Huh..?” 

“ Andrà tutto bene ... fidati di me ... per favore?” He asked softly, looking at her in worry.

( Everything will be okay ... trust me ... please?)

“ T-Terra I can’t understand you…” she told him softly.

“ H-Huh..?...Oh...s-sorry...whenever I’m upset or anything like that...I slip back to speaking italian…” He looked away, embarrassed and slightly shy that he spoke in his native language.

“ I didn’t know you could talk in another language...why didn’t you tell me?” Aqua asked, her mind off of what had happened for a moment. 

“...well, I thought it was never really important...also you don’t speak italian so I never had a reason to talk italian.” he said, rubbing the back of his neck. 

“ But...you speak japanese with me though…” she said,” Sometimes english...so how did you learn how to speak japanese?” she asked

He kept walking, still holding her hand as he told her, “...well, when I first arrived here, back after mom and dad...well you know...died, nobody knew italian, and I didn’t speak a lot of japanese. And I know I met you when I had been living on the streets for about…..five months? I think that was it anyways, when we first met, I spoke in the fair amount of english I knew at the time, and you also knew english thankfully...well...Nana and Master Eraqus followed me after I had stolen I believe Master Eraqus lunch...I started to talk in italian. Honestly I was kinda scared of what was going to happen. I thought they were going to hit me or something worse….man was I stupid back then.” He laughed a bit, as they walked through some woods, Aqua listening closely. 

 “But they didn’t, thankfully, Master Eraqus casted a spell where I could not only understand them, but they could understand me as well. They scolded me for a moment,  but then saw I was really dirty and how I was too skinny for my age...they ended up letting me have their food, and get more food for me, let me get the food I wanted.” He laughed more,” They asked me about things, like my parents, where I came from and such...I told them everything. After I told them everything, Nana pretty much adopted me and Master Eraqus sensed I had magic abilities, and said he was going to take me in as his pupil when I was about 10 or so, he would take me in so I could summon my keyblade. ...he would come over every Sunday, and work on my magic abilities, fire, ice healing excentra. Nana basically raised me like I was her kid. She helped me learn Japanese and more english, so I could communicate with others, without the spell. Eventually I learned how to speak, and I lost my accent. She enrolled me into school and well...rest is history.” He told her with a faint smile. 

“....” Aqua looked at him with a neutral look, “ Well...good thing that happened...I couldn’t imagine what would have happened if you still lived on the streets…” she said, her hold on his hand slightly tightening. 

He looked at her as he said, “ Yeah...but hey, at least I’m better now. I’ve got Nana, Master Eraqus, Toshi and Grand Tornio….so I’m happy….they helped me in the past...so hopefully now..they’ll help you.” he said, hugging her, gently stroking her hair to help her calm down. “ They’ll help you, I know it. So don’t be scared. No matter what happens, I will always be there.” he told her with a faint smile. 

She didn’t know what to say for a moment before she teared up, but smiled as she hugged him back, feeling some of the weight on her shoulders go away.

He sighed as he held her, letting her cry to let her feel better, as he then heard, “ Young Terra? Why, it’s been awhile!” he turned his head and smiled brightly as he said, “ Toshinori! It’s so good to see you again!” he said, as Aqua pulled away to get a look at him, quickly getting rid of her tears. She saw a man with some mussel and blond hair, some of his hair sticking out like rabbit ears, holding a bag. 

‘ He….makes me think of a bunny with his hair…’ she thought to herself.

Terra saw her looking as he then said, “ Oh! Toshinori! This is Aqua, I told you and Nana about her before and-” “ O-O-Oh I see! She looks so beautiful and a strong heart and soul shows through her eyes! Just like you said!” he laughed.

Terra blushed, looking a bit sheepish, as Aqua blushed a bit as Terra said, “ R-Right, but Toshi, this is important and you and Nana need to-” “ She’ll be perfect for our little Terra!” he laughed, ruffling Terra’s hair, as Terra pouted and blushing in embarrassment, “ T-Toshi!” he whined a bit. 

Aqua saw this happen as she couldn’t help but laugh a bit, thinking this was funny, as her tears started to go away. Terra saw this and smiled a bit, happy to see her smiling before he then got serious and said, “ Toshi, I’m...well….we’re both in a predicament. We need you, Nana and Master Eraqus help.”

“ Oh? Did something bad happen?” he asked, his smile fading away. “ Well...yes and no...it’s..difficult to explain. Can we talk inside?” Terra asked, looking at him. “ Is Nana home?” 

Toshinori shook his head as he told him, “ I’m afraid not yet. But for the time being, you two can come on in and tell me what's happening. We can have the buns I grabbed, and I can make some tea.” he told them. “ Any specific type for you dear?” He asked Aqua with a soft smile.

She looked at him, and said in a soft voice, “ Do….you happen to have Watermelon flavor?” “ As a matter of fact, we do. Come on in. I think it might start raining soon.” he told her with a grin. He ushered them inside, and closed the door. 

(....hello...please don't be mad at me for updating this and my other story so late T^T. I know I'm late, and I am so sorry I am late for both stories. I don't really have any excuse, and I deeply apologize for that. I just had writer's block for both stories for a bit for awhile. And my mind wasn't helping much, since it got ideas on this series, but I didn't know how to type them out, and I haven't gotten to that part in the story yet, and here I am thinking about it, instead of what's going on. For making my readers wait, I deeply apologize. I will try my best to get another chapter out for both series out before my birthday. And possibly continue writing other stories I haven't touched in awhile, like my wolf children book and ghost teller series. I will get Season one and 2 done for Ghost Teller. But please don't forget to vote and comment on what you like. Thanks for reading and tuning in...but now, I have to tune out. Bye!)
