Chapter 9: The best of Blind dates
Day 35
Aqua's mum's house
Aqua and her mum were having a family dinner together. Her mum seemed really silent while Aqua was finishing up her food.
"Oh boy you're cooking is still as good as the last time I was here" Aqua sighed as she leaned back on her chair.
"How are you getting home?" Aqua's mum asked.
"Oh Terra's going to pick me up from here" she answered and took a gulp from her drink. "I can't go back home by myself I mean my car's busted and I can't walk home or I'll get stalked by fans. By the way, what did you need to ask me about?"
"Do you have a boyfriend yet?" her mum asked.
"No..." Aqua said and then she realized why her mum invited her for dinner. "Mum don't go setting me up with one of your book club friend's sons again"
"But Mrs. Fair's son is a lovely gentleman and he works at Destiny High" Aqua's mum said.
"You mean that school that has the demon sisters, demon brothers, the Don's twin sons, those weird Chinese kids that has caused so much trouble for all of destiny islands and the two detective kids and defense force girls that cause just about as much trouble as the criminal kids?" Aqua asked.
"Uh...yeah..." Aqua's mum sweat dropped. "But I heard it was a smart school. You should consider going for a blind date"
"But mum! I'm 21! I have plenty of time to think about romance but right now I want to focus on my career!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the front door "Yo Aqua Car pool!" Terra yelled.
"Oh I better go now." Aqua panicked as she quickly packed her stuff and getting ready to go "Thank you so much for dinner"
"If you change your mind call me okay" Aqua's mum waved.
"Not likely" Aqua muttered under her breath. She opened the door and greeted Terra "Hey Terra"
"Alright Aqua come on Ven's waiting back at your apartment and he's having a staring competition with your goldfish" Terra rolled his eyes when he said it.
"That kid's only popular because he's cute. But he's such a bimbo" Aqua laughed as she got into Terra's car.
Later that night: Aqua's apartment
Ven stared at Aqua's goldfish 'bubbles' and he struggled to keep his eyes open. He ended up blinking. "ARGH!! I LOST AGAIN!! WHY DO YOU KEEP WINNING?!!" The fish said nothing and swum around it's glass bowl.
"hey Ven" Aqua said walking into her apartment.
"AQUA!!! BUBBLE'S KEEPS WINNING STARING COMPETITIONS" Ven whined.
"Ven..." Terra said in an As-a-matter-of-fact tone of voice "fishes don't have eyelids"
"I know that" Ven said.
"Yes but if they don't have eyelids then how can they blink?" Terra smirked.
Ven thought about it for a while "OOOOOH!!! THIS FISH IS CHEATING THEN"
Terra face palmed "idiot" he muttered under his breath. "So how was dinner Aqua?" He asked.
"Ah it fine until mum wanted to set me up with some guy who works at Destiny high" Aqua laughed.
"You mean that school that has my clone that played my evil brother in Ice Cream Mafia but no one will know about it cause he's already hating me for the fact that fan girls chase him thinking it's me?" Ven asked.
"Yeah that school" Aqua said
Terra laughed at this "are you actually thinking about it?" he asked
"I don't know...Mum said he's a great guy but" Aqua was immediately cut off.
"Then go for him!" Terra snapped in a tone that sounded suspiciously like jealousy, "He's probably going to be a great boyfriend anyway"
"TERRA!!" Ven hissed.
"All right I will!" Aqua picked up her phone and stormed into her room. Terra stood quietly for a while
"Terra, why did you do that?!" Ven asked.
"Because this guy sounds oh so wonderful," Terra said with sarcasm
"Is that jealousy I hear in your voice?" Ven asked. Terra's eyes widened and he grabbed his stuff and headed for the door.
"I'm going home good-bye!" Terra yelled and slammed the door behind him
"Terra wait!!" Ven said packing his stuff and heading after him.
Aqua listened to her band mates leaving. She sighed with sorrow but then snapped out of it. "Stupid (bandit)!" she growled to herself. "Doesn't care if I'll see another guy" She sighed angrily. "What do I care about what he thinks?" She looked through her contacts and she called her mum "Hey mum I change my mind"
5 days later
Beach house: 11:30 am
It was a hot and miserable day. The sand on the beach was far too hot to step on so they didn't go to the beach. Instead the Organization all sat around the house with not much to do. Marluxia was trying hard to save his pot plants, Saix was panting thinking how lucky and unlucky it was to be a dog, Xaldin was practicing the Violin which added the effect to how the Organization was feeling and everyone else lay on the floor.
Demyx opened the freezer door and sighed with relief. "That feels nice"
"Demyx!" Xion yelled. "You're letting all the cold air out!"
"HEEELLLLLLOOOOOO!! Hot Day? Cold air?" Demyx said trying to make a point to her.
"urgh it's so hot!!" Xenmas yelled. "I SHALL DESTROY THE SUN!!!"
"Technically if you destroy the sun then all life in every world will die" Ed said in with an As-a-matter-of-fact tone of voice.
"I'd scream 'where did you come from Red top' but it's too hot" Larxene said.
"So that's your nickname for Ed now?" Kuri asked also walking into the house without permission. "Boy it's hot in here! Don't you guys have an air con?"
"Actually we do" Axel remembered. "Why don't we turn it on?"
"The air con's broken remember" Zexion said.
"Don't worry about that! We've got it covered" Luxord said with a smirk on his face and Xigbar had the same smirk.
"Oh really now, you can't fix Air conditioners for squat" Demyx groaned.
"No we hired someone to fix our air conditioner" Luxord said.
"It's a company called 'Shiva air'" Xigbar winked at them all "and something tells me it's going to be a hot babe that will fix it"
"Of course you'd choose that company 'cause it sounds like it has hot babes" Vexen rolled his eyes. Suddenly the doorbell rung.
"I'll get it" Xion said getting off the floor and opening the front door.
"Hello young lady" a really tall muscled blonde haired man said with a goofy grin on his face. "I'm Snow Villiers and I'm going to repair your Air conditioner"
"Wow what a name for a guy that repairs air conditioners" Xion said.
Xigbar walked to the door looking very well dressed but when he saw Snow he grumbled. "Aaw man I thought they were going to send us a hot babe"
Xion whacked him over the head. "XIGBAR!! MANNERS!!" She yelled.
"I mean uh...It's the air conditioner man! How are you good sir?" Xigbar asked.
Snow Villiers sighed. "Couldn't be any better," he said sarcastically.
"Are you all right sir?" Xion asked.
"Is the heat getting to you?" Xigbar said
"My girlfriend dumped me"
"ooooh" Xigbar let Snow in and showed him where the Air Conditioner was. Roxas thought it was a good idea to get a little snack. He opened the freezer feeling slightly relieved from the hot air around the house but when he looked inside he screamed.
"HEY WHO TOOK THE LAST SEA SALT ICE CREAM?!!" Roxas yelled.
Ed raised his hand as if he were in court "guilty" Ed announced.
"ED!!!" Everyone groaned
"You guys want more ice cream" Vexen said sounding unusually nice.
Roxas's and Axel's looked very happy about it. "YES!!!" they yelled and gave Vexen puppy eyes.
"Go buy some more" Vexen handed Roxas and Axel some Munny and they ran out of the door. "Finally those two idiots left" Vexen sighed with relief.
"Someone should go with them in case they eat it all" Xion said. She stared at Larxene and Larxene stared at her. They continued staring at each other and they raised their arm and looked like they were about to punch each other but then...
"Scissors! Paper! Rock!" Xion had paper and Larxene had rock.
"YES!!" Xion cheered.
"Since when does paper beat rock?!" Larxene yelled.
"Paper always beats rock" Xion smirked.
"Fine if a rock gets thrown at you, defend yourself with a sheet of paper" Larxene groaned and walked out of the door.
Helga had finished cleaning up the house and she saw the organization looking miserable. "Why are you all lounging about in the house?" she asked as she took off her uniform revealing a blue bikini. Everyone looked at her and their eyes burned from the horrible sight.
"MY EYES!!" Xigbar yelled. "THEY BURN!!!"
"Now that's just nasty!" Snow said shuddering at the sight.
"Shouldn't you be repairing the air conditioner?" Xaldin asked. Snow rolled his eyes and continued repairing the air conditioner.
"HELGA?!!! WHY ARE YOU REVEALING SO MUCH SKIN!!!" Xemnas yelled feeling his eyes burn from the horrid sight.
"You guys should go into the swimming pool and cool off" Helga said and went into the swimming pool in their backyard.
"WE HAVE A POOL??!!" Demyx smiled like a little child.
"You guys didn't notice?" Ed muttered under his breath.
Demyx took off his shirt and cannon balled into the pool. Everyone shrugged and changed into their bathing suits and went in. Kuri on the other hand was in absolute awe of Demyx without a shirt. "aaaaaah so sexy!"
Ed sweat dropped. "Okay?"
Park: 12pm
Aqua was wearing a pair of shades, a pair of 3-quarter length jeans and a grey t-shirt. She wondered around the place she was supposed to meet Zack Fair. She was still angry at Terra for acting like a jerk but something was telling her that going on this blind date wasn't a good idea either.
"Hey are you Aqua?" a voice came from behind. Aqua turned around and saw a man that looked slightly like Terra but had the same kind of innocent and childish aura that Ven has.
"Uh yeah" Aqua said. Zack shook her hand eagerly.
"Name's Zack Fair! Man I'm a huge fan of you guys!" Zack said. "It's really awesome that our mums know each other"
"Yeah that's pretty cool" Aqua chuckled.
What Aqua and Zack didn't know was that the two other TAV members were spying on them with binoculars behind the bushes. "Remind me again why you dragged me into this" Terra asked.
"We're sabotaging their date remember!" Ven smirked.
"Why would we do that?" Terra came up with a conclusion "Look Ven I know we've been friends since we were in high school but those days are over and I think Aqua should be able to move on with her life if she wants too"
"No it's not because of that," Ven said. "It's because you're in love with Aqua and your too stubborn to admit it" Terra glared at Ven.
"I DO NOT!" he yelled.
"What was that?" Zack asked as he looked around the area. Ven covered Terra's mouth with his hand.
"Not sure" Aqua said. "C'mon we should get some ice cream or something"
Terra and Ven peaked over the bushes to see Zack and Aqua leave. "Okay I do" Terra blushed with embarrassment. "I just don't think Aqua would take me seriously. I mean c'mon it's me, Terra, her band mate and friend"
Ven smiled at his confession. "Well why are you telling me this? Shouldn't you be telling her that? Besides we have a date to sabotage"
"HEY WILL YOU (bandits) SLOW DOWN!!" a slightly familiar voice yelled. They turned around and saw Axel and Roxas running for ice cream and Larxene following not too far behind.
"HEY IT'S MY CLONE!!" Ven yelled and jumped in front of Roxas and Axel and gave them a goofy grin. "Hi!"
Roxas and Axel stopped running and Roxas glared at Ven. "NOT YOU!!!" Roxas whined. "WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW?!!!"
Larxene finally caught up with the two ice cream obsessed nobodies. "Hey it's the blonde bimbo"
Terra and Axel sweat dropped. "You're blonde too," They thought aloud.
"Alright why are you out here...in the heat?" Larxene asked Ven.
"Well you see, Terra was being an idiot and now Aqua's on a blind date with some guy" Ven pointed to where Aqua and Zack were.
"Hey it's Mr. Fair!" Axel said. "Damn that guy's a lucky (bandit) it's not every day some ex-teacher like him gets to go out with a hot celebrity"
Suddenly a demonic aura surrounded Terra. "Well the poor guy ain't gonna be lucky when this date is sabotaged"
Everyone else sweat dropped. "What's his problem?" Larxene asked.
"Long story" Ven answered.
Defense Force girls: Seaside Café: 12:05 pm
The other defense force girls sat inside the café near the air conditioner and waited for their milkshakes to arrive.
"Man Kairi better get here soon" Rikku complained. "I'm getting really thirsty and this heat is starting to get to me"
"Be patient Rikku" Yuna said. "It's her first job after all"
"You know something" Paine wondered aloud. "We haven't appeared in this fan fiction for a while. I'm starting to think either the authoress is forgetting about us or Kuri has ditched us. Or both"
Yuna scratched her chin. "Well Ed has come back and their mum wants him to have a social life instead of sitting on the computer all day and night"
Rikku clenched her fists. "Next time I see that (bandit) I'm going to murder him this time"
"Oh and because Rikku will probably beat Ed to a pulp, rip out his vital organs, stab him repeatedly, bury him, dance on his grave, dig him up, bring him back to life, kill him again, clone him, do the same things to his clones and then she'll never talk to him ever again" Yuna said sounding completely calm but Paine felt a twitch under her eye.
"Uh huh" Paine muttered. Suddenly she heard her mobile phone ring. She picked it up and answered it. "Hello?"
"HEY IT'S KURI!!" The leader of the defense force yelled from the other line. "YOU GUYS HAVE TO COME OVER TO THE EXCHANGE STUDENTS BEACH HOUSE THEY HAVE A SWIMMING POOL!!"
Paine blushed at the thought of Zexion wearing only his swimming trunks and wearing absolutely no shirt. "Alright we'll come ASAP" Paine replied trying to hide the joy in her voice.
"So...?" Yuna asked.
"The exchange students and Kuri want us to go to their place 'cause they have a pool," Paine answered still hiding the happiness from her voice.
Rikku gave Yuna and Paine and evil smile. "Excellent" She let out an evil cackle and ran out of the café.
"Okay here's your order" Kairi said handing Yuna and Paine their take away milkshakes. "Hey where's Rikku?"
Yuna and Paine looked at each other and they realized. "Wait...if Kuri's there then-"
"Ed will be there" Paine finished off Yuna's sentence. Paine and Yuna stared at each other for a while and they gasped.
"What have we done?!"
Park: 12:10 pm
While everyone else was having fun in the newly discovered swimming pool Axel, Roxas and Larxene were stuck with Terra and Ven in the heat hiding behind bushes with a pair of binoculars, spying on Zack and Aqua sitting on a bench eating their ice cream.
"I've always wondered why we somehow get dragged into mayhem" Larxene thought aloud.
Terra shushed her. "Like we care about your problems. We need to be quiet so we can work out how to sabotage this date"
"geez and people think my period makes me angry" Larxene rolled her eyes angrily at the idol.
"You do realize I'm male right?" Terra said calmly.
"Well you're sure acting like your going through a Manstration Cycle" Larxene replied childishly.
Terra's blood boiled. "Why I outta-
"WILL YOU TWO SHUT THE (heartless) UP?!!" Axel yelled. Ven covered Axel's mouth and shushed him.
"Dude they'll hear you!" Ven hissed.
Meanwhile
Zack looked around attentively. "What was that?" Zack asked.
Aqua looked around as well. "Not sure...probably just some kids" Aqua assumed. There was an awkward silence between them. (Authoress: *Giggle* a gay baby was born *giggle*).
"So..." Aqua said to break the silence. "What do you do for a living?"
"Well I work at the cafeteria at Destiny High" Zack said sounding a little embarrassed. "I was a history teacher before but I found a mermaid and I was looking for her for ages and when I came back to work my job had been taken" Zack looked liked he was day dreaming about something and a blush came to his face.
Behind the bushes
Roxas felt a little annoyed. "I can't hear a thing" he whined.
"If only we could read lips" Larxene thought aloud. "Or if we had super sonic hearing"
Axel shrugged. "I guess we can just watch and see if anything happens"
Meanwhile
"Sorry Aqua but I don't think we should date" Zack said out of the blue. Aqua didn't seem at all angry in fact she was rather pleased.
"Why not?" she asked.
"Well you know that mermaid I mentioned before" Zack said. "She was only swimming with the dolphins that day and I thought she was. I mean she was beautiful and she had a tail like a mermaid would and-" Zack looked at Aqua to see if she was mad at all.
Aqua gave him a warm smile. "Tell me more about her"
Behind the bushes
Terra glared at Zack. "That (bandit)" he hissed. "I know that smile, that's Aqua's lovey dovey smile"
Ven snatched Terra's binoculars "Hey you're right"
"Can I go home now?" Roxas whined. "It's hot and boring"
Ven rolled his eyes. "Nothing's stopping you from leaving"
"But it they leave then that will draw attention to us" Terra said.
"You're right" Ven said. "You three are staying here" The 3 nobodies groaned.
Meanwhile
Zack continued going on about the lady he was really interested in and Aqua didn't mind...which isn't what normal women feel like when their date is constantly talking about another woman.
"But man" Zack sighed. "Aerith wouldn't even notice me"
"I'm sure she will" Aqua smiled. "I think you should just tell her how you feel"
"You're right" Zack smiled eagerly. "So how about you, do you have anyone your interested in?"
"Well...maybe" Aqua blushed at the thought of the man she liked. "He'll never notice though he's very dense"
"C'mon you can tell me" Zack smiled eagerly. "We're friends now!"
Behind the bushes
What everyone behind the bushes didn't know was what Zack and Aqua were even talking about because they were too far away so they presumed that Zack and Aqua were flirting with each other, which made Terra preeeeetty angry.
Roxas's eyes sparkled. "Wow Mr. Fair managed to get a blush out of Aqua. He is legendary!"
Axel smirked. "Oh boy it's on"
Larxene, Ven and Roxas looked disgusted. "Axel! You are a sick person!" Larxene growled.
"It's turning you on isn't it" Axel wriggled his eyebrows and Larxene whacked him on the back of his head. "I'm just kidding"
Terra glared at Zack and he looked as though he was about to explode in fury. He couldn't just hide behind the bushes and watch while someone takes the girl he's been in love with for a while. "I can't take this anymore" He muttered under his breath.
Everyone gasped as Terra was going to do something unbelievably extremely incredibly extraordinarily-
"GET ON WITH IT!!" Larxene yelled to the authoress.
...Stupid.
Terra ran out of the bushes towards Aqua. Suddenly time slowed down for the sake of the dramatic scene. Terra was running as fast as the slow motion dramatic scene would let him.
"AAAAAQQQQQUUUUUAAAAA!!!" Terra screamed. Aqua turned to see Terra running towards her so slow and dramatically.
Terra was so close, so very unbelievably unremarkably extro-
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!! GET ON WITH THE STORY ALREADY!!!" Larxene yelled to the authoress.
...rdinarily close.
But then someone karate kicked him in the face and knocked him to the ground as time went back to normal speed again.
Terra looked up and saw a brown haired woman wearing a pink ribbon in her hair and looked as though she was usually a kind person but boy did she look angry.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, YOU CRAZY CHICK?!!" Terra yelled at the woman that karate kicked him.
"Oops wrong person. You kind of looked like Zack" Aerith apologized but then she glared at Aqua and Zack. She dragged Zack off the bench and glared at Aqua. "I SEE YOU WITH MY MAN AGAIN I WILL RIP YOU TO SHREDS YOU UNDERSTAND ME!!" She turned left and took Zack with her. "WE'RE LEAVING!!"
Zack waved at Aqua. "It was nice meeting you by the way"
"Bye!" Aqua waved back. She watched Zack and Aerith leave together and she sighed. "Looks like she had feelings for him after all. They're going to be a very happy couple"
Terra looked slightly confused. "Wait...so you weren't actually interested in that guy"
Aqua laughed. "No way, he wasn't my type. Besides there's someone I like already"
Terra raised a brow but looked slightly jealous. "Who is it?"
Aqua winked at him. "That's my secret" Terra was really curious but he shrugged it off and they both walked through the park together.
Ven, Axel, Larxene and Roxas were still behind the bushes. "Well if that wasn't the strangest thing I've ever seen I don't know what is" Ven said breaking the silence.
Roxas placed a hand on Ven's shoulder. "Trust me...we've seen weirder.
Beach house: 12:30pm
Ed didn't want to swim in the Organization's pool so instead he relaxed under the shade with not a care in the world. That was until...
"EEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD!!!" a familiar voice screamed. He turned around and saw Rikku surrounded by a demonic aura.
"Oh (shadow)"
