Ven did just accuse Aqua of letting the title of Keyblade Master get to her head. I just assumed that was her way of showing him that she wasn't the tyrant he was accusing her of being by giving him the chance to go back by himself. But I agree. It might have been better if she forced Ven to go back home. Aqua seemed to be thinking "I'm losing my friends!" instead of thinking logically. About Aqua "lying".... In the Japanese version, if I could remember correctly, a better translation of what Aqua says is "I've been to the same worlds as you...and I think you're getting too close to the darkness. She never says she "saw" him do anything. Terra did shoot out Braig's eye because he let darkness control him. He also let a potentially dangerous mad scientist go on the word of the aforementioned scientist. Terra believed Jumba's lie about 626 because of his master issues. Aqua was right about Terra. He was getting too close to the darkness. I would prefer if there was a reason for Aqua to be correct. Would it have been too hard to have Aqua witness the fight between Terra and Braig? I suppose because they were chasing after the giant unversed that would have taken too much time. How about having the Grand Council Woman say something like "We found a man dressed like you, and he let a dangerous scientist we had detained go"? Why not give her a better witness to Terra's irresponsibility and foolishness than Maleficent? Overall, it seemed to me that Birth by Sleep changed a lot from editing, and Aqua got the brunt of this.
Happy Easter.
Recognize the blade on the far right? It's the Kingdom Key! It even had a Mickey Mouse "key chain" on it. This store selling swords was selling the Kingdom Key. They had two of them, actually. I think one of them was made of aluminum.
How do YOU know? You are now my greatest foe. I suck at poetry too.
Happy birthday.
I've seen a few fan fictions with OC's on ff.net.
Good luck!

He trusted MX because there was no reason not to trust him, and having just been "betrayed" by his Master/father and one of his best friends, he was at his most vulnerable. I never thought Terra was stupid. But maybe immature. I don't think the only reason that he trusted MX was because there was no reason not to trust him--I think it's also because MX flattered him. It seemed to me like he'd rather be flattered than take criticism from somebody who cared for him. I also think there are things that Terra did that weren't very wise. For instance, if he just did his mission, or even gave Eraqus a report after finding MX, Eraqus might have made him a master. Instead, he obsesses over his darkness, making it even worse. Of course, all of this falls right into MX's plan. Terra's situation is similar to Riku's. It's just that, Riku had someone who believed in him, and that darkness and light could coexist (Mickey if that wasn't obvious). Terra though, being surrounded by the DURKNESS IS EVILZ! rule for almost his entire life, you can see how difficult it was for him. He longed for the understanding and acceptance of his teacher and fellow pupils, but asides from Ven, who idolizes Terra as an older brother figure, everyone couldn't give it to him. Aqua says it many times throughout her scenario that Terra wouldn't go down the wrong path, but that's just reassurance for her own disbelief. Regardless of how long they've known each other, how strong he really is, she couldn't bring herself to trust that he would be fine, which led their friendship down a rather shaky path. That and with her new appointment as a Master, it goes without saying that she becomes a bit detached from her friends and gains somewhat of an air of superiority, seen by badmouthing Terra when he's only done wrong in one world, and by suffocating Ven and treating him like a 3 year old who can't do anything by himself. And after the battle with Vanitas in Radiant Garden, she takes it upon herself and believes that only she will be able to fix the problem. It's not like Aqua's concerns were unfounded. Terra seemed to be the weakest, emotionally, and I think she treated Ven like the emotionally unstable boy who came to live with them all those years ago. And though it's true that he grew a lot stronger, Vanitas would have killed him if Mickey hadn't arrived in the nick of time to save him. Also, what Aqua said to Terra, in both Japanese and English, sounded more like concern rather than "badmouthing". To me, badmouthing would be like "You are so stupid, Terra!" I suppose it could have been worded better. I think if it was me I would have started with "I heard you did (....). Is it true? And what does Terra do in response? Does he tell Aqua what really happened, and than fill her in that he found MX? No, he storms off, commanding everyone to "stay put!" This sounds like someone with an "air of superiority" to me. I also think he was one maturity level away from saying "I'm taking my keyblade and going home!" I also think Ven responded more maturely to Aqua than Terra. At least he was willing to talk to her before Terra stormed off. Though, this entire thread pretty much resulted from too much empathy for Terra, who is the least liked out of the trio for not being a shota or female, and a general annoyance at Aqua, or just a general dislike of her English dialogue. And by that I mean the words that come out of her mouth, not the voice. I have to admit, at first I thought that Aqua was too condescending, thus she was annoying. Now I think that because she's pretty and kind of sexy, it's good that her character has flaws. I think it saves her from being a Mary Sue. There are times that I'm annoyed with my sister, but I don't hate her. In a similar way I think Aqua's flaws make her more relate-able. And I have to say that I do get annoyed when some fan boy is like "Aqua is the most important character because she has BOOOOBS!!!". Though, I don't think this makes her a bad character. However, I also get annoyed at fan girls who only think that male characters are good if they're "bishonen". All in all, I'd say that Birth by Sleep has a storyline full of characters that mature, or learn an important lesson sometime along their journeys: Terra learns that it is better to accept criticism from a friend who was trying to help him, than to be flattered by someone who was just trying to use him. He also learns not to fear his darkness. Aqua, thanks to Yen Sid, learns that she needs to start believing in her friend(s) instead of always trying to protect him(them). Ven learns that just because he has hardships with his friends, it doesn't mean that his friendship with them is over. Even Eraqus learns that he was being hypocritical to Terra, seeing as his own heart isn't pure light. Oh, well. At least Terra and Aqua get to reflect on their newly gained wisdom in their respective prisons...

It did give me a chuckle.
Actually, there are three Swan Princess movies, and I don't believe any of them were made by Disney. @RikuandRoadToDawn I think I read somewhere that Nomura said that MF is a new character, so most likely he is NOT Xemnas.
According to the Birth by Sleep Ultimania, Kairi has the ability to use the Keyblade because Aqua accidentally did the ceremony when young Kairi touched her keyblade, begging for help. As for the original question, I suppose if she does take the exam, it won't be in the near future. Even though Aqua's her master by ceremony, there's no guarantee that she'll WANT to teach her, considering it was an accidental circumstance. I suppose it also depends on the circumstances of the stories in future games.
