Peanut 26 Posted January 8, 2011 Terra didn't sense any other presences by or on the beach, staring out at the ocean. He was just grateful for this opportunity. His cold was almost completely gone, so he didn't have to worry about that. And Aqua was so much better, too. This was it; this was the beginning of the rest of their lives...

Forever Love 82 Posted January 8, 2011 Aqua lifted her gaze, and not too far away, she saw the boy she had come to be with. She walked forward quietly, unsure of what this night held for her and Terra. But she hoped it would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 8, 2011 Terra's senses picked up on something, so he turned and took his hands out of his pockets. He couldn't help but smile, seeing Aqua walking in his direction. So...this meant that she wanted to be with him? Romantically? He knew that was what he wanted with her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 8, 2011 Aqua saw Terra turn to her as she approached, and she couldn't help but smile. He looked handsome, which was no surprise to her. He was a very attractive young man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 8, 2011 Even dressed semi-casual, she's still beautiful, Terra thought, though he blinked to shoo it away. They weren't together just yet; he shouldn't have been thinking like that. Right? "...Hi," he greeted softly when she was closer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 8, 2011 "Hey," Aqua greeted, coming to a stop in front of Terra as she looked up at him. He seemed a little nervous, and she was too. But that was to be expected. Tonight could be life-changing for both of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 8, 2011 "I'm glad you came," Terra said softly, a faint smile on his lips as he looked down at Aqua. He would have been devastated if she didn't come; tonight was the night that would dictate where they would take their relationship. It was a big deal.

Forever Love 82 Posted January 8, 2011 "Mm," Aqua hummed with a small nod. "I am too." If she hadn't come, that would have been a huge mistake. Terra... She had a feeling about him, that he was the one she had always sought but never actually saw. Tonight was the night to change that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 8, 2011 Terra nodded slightly and looked down at the watch he wore, seeing that it was almost time. "I know you love the beach, but we're not actually staying here," he said, a mischievous smile appearing on his face. He had a plan that Aqua would surely be impressed with.

Forever Love 82 Posted January 8, 2011 "Oh?" Aqua asked, lifting her eyebrows slightly. Then...where were they going? Terra told her to meet him at the beach, but she guessed that was for the specific reason of just meeting up. But still, she was curious as to where he was going to take her.

Peanut 26 Posted January 8, 2011 "We're actually going out on a boat," Terra said with the same smile. That wasn't all that they were doing, but the rest of the plan would be a surprise. He couldn't wait to see the look on her face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 8, 2011 Aqua was confused, but she nodded. "Okay," she said. A boat, he said? Well, what would be waiting for them there? Terra seemed to have everything planned out, and though she was struck with curiosity, she found it very sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 8, 2011 "Don't look at me like that," Terra said with a laugh, lifting a hand to Aqua's shoulder and shaking his head slightly. She looked so confused and curious, but she wasn't going to find anything out. "Let's head to the dock." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 8, 2011 Aqua felt warmth underneath Terra's hand and she only smiled a little in amusement. "Alright, fine," she said. She would just save her curiosity for the experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 8, 2011 Terra smiled, nodding faintly as he squeezed Aqua's shoulder. He took his hand off and then started walking towards the dock, where one boat in particular was waiting to be boarded. This was going to turn out so well...

Forever Love 82 Posted January 8, 2011 Aqua followed Terra, walking so she was only half a step behind him. She wanted to be close, for obvious reasons. But she was also excited. What was he hiding from her? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 8, 2011 Terra wondered if he should reach for Aqua's hand. He was the man on this date, after all; he was supposed to be the confident, charming one. But there was a difference between charming and overbearing. He'd wait until the right time to touch her again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 8, 2011 Aqua saw the dock up ahead, and the only boat that lingered there. It was bigger than the others she was used to using to get to the island, ones that only held one person. But this one was large enough to hold two people, which was probably the idea.

Peanut 26 Posted January 8, 2011 The walk to the dock was silent, but that was alright. Terra and Aqua often had times of silence between each other. In silence, he hopped down into the larger boat and once he had his balance, he lifted a hand to help Aqua get in as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 8, 2011 Aqua smiled slightly at how Terra was still the proper gentleman, and she wordlessly slipped her hand into his. She then lowered herself into the boat, feeling it rock a little from being in the water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 8, 2011 Terra smiled faintly back at Aqua, though he did release her hand once she was balanced in the boat. He reached up and easily untied the boat from the dock, tossing the rope into the boat so that he could tie it up again later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 8, 2011 Aqua lowered herself to one of the seats so she was sitting across from Terra, and of course facing him. She wondered where he was taking her, but that was all part of the surprise, wasn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 8, 2011 Terra sat down on his bench, facing Aqua. He couldn't help but feel amused at how curious she was, but she'd find out soon enough. He reached for the paddles in the boat and then put them in their places before he started paddling away from the mainland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted January 8, 2011 Aqua let her eyes linger on Terra as she tilted her head. "I don't ever recall you being one for surprises, Terra," she said softly, a small smile on her face. Most of the time he was so focused on training with Master Eraqus, so Ven was often the one enjoying surprises the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted January 8, 2011 "Well, I heard they're pretty popular in romance novels," Terra responded with a smile. He knew how much Aqua enjoyed those books, and even if he didn't, he did some research to figure out what made dates good. Surprises were high on the list.
