Heavenly Sky
Chapter 3
"Lani!" Aqua called out and entered the garden.
"Aqua!" Lani stood up and they hugged each other. She had a little chat with her fiancé's grandparents and asked if she was ready. They said their goodbyes and left the house.
"So is this your very first party?" Aqua asked as they walked in the streets together.
"Yeah it is I'm kinda nervous." Lani stated.
"You don't have to be. You'll be going to many when you're in university." The blue haired woman said with a smile.
They were talking about university and finally got to the mall. They walked around and Lani looked around seeing the many shops and outfits available. She always wanted to try them but thought she wouldn't look good in them.
"Ooooh, I know just the place!" She grabbed her friend's hand and walked into a shop.
They bumped into someone who was tall, had brown spikey hair, blue eyes and a muscular build. Then they realised it was Terra. He smiled at them and turned to see Lani.
"Hey, Lani!" He grinned and she smiled back at him.
"Hi Terra!" She smiled; she's known him for nearly all her life. Terra was in the same class as Aqua, Ventus and Vanitas. He hugged her and kissed her head.
"What are you doing here, Terra?" Aqua asked.
"I just finished my shift." He answered.
"You work here?" He nodded. "Awesome, you can get me and Lani some offers!" They all laughed at this.
"How are you finding it, Terra?" Lani asked.
"It's alright. Even though there are loads of girls eyeing me out but the pay is good." The girls giggled at him and he pouted. "So what are you guys doing here?"
"Shopping for Lani's first party." Aqua said and Terra smirked whilst elbowing his younger friend.
"Oh, look at you. Getting warmed up for university, huh?" He asked and she laughed whilst blushing. "I'll stay with you guys."
"Alright, let's get started." The blue eyed 22 year-old stated whilst pumping her fist in the air.
They went around the shop and looked for some outfits for Lani. Aqua picked out some dresses but the young teenager refused to wear them. They both tried to persuade Vanitas's little sister but she wouldn't have it.
She went to go try out some outfits and when she came out, she wore a black jumpsuit. But she didn't look so happy. When she opened the curtains, she crossed her arms.
"How am I supposed to piss in this outfit?" Lani asked and Terra laughed his head off. Aqua glared at him but ended up laughing anyway.
Lani got changed into 5 more outfits which she didn't want to wear. Then Aqua got an outfit with the help of Terra who showed her what was popular right now.
She wore the outfit and pulled the curtains. Her friends gasped when they saw her with Terra blushing slightly.
"Omg, Lani you look amazing!" Aqua exclaimed and took her hand. She showed her friend in the mirror and the brown haired teen gasped.
Lani wore a white lace cropped top with short sleeves, a bright orange maxi skirt and white sandals with heels. She fluttered her eyelashes and touched the mirror.
"Wow, I look so different." She stated.
"You look awesome." Terra smiled and she blushed. She turned to Aqua with a bright smile.
"I love it!" She said.
"Alright, let's get it!" Aqua exclaimed and Samantha went to change her clothes. She and her brother's fiancée started arguing on who was going to pay. But the blue haired adult lost and Lani got a discount because Terra worked there.
They walked home together and had dinner together. Terra and Lani helped clearing up and did the dishes.
The grandparents watched TV in their room and Sora, Aqua, Vanitas and Terra watched a film together.
Lani got changed into an oversized t-shirt and shorts. She just had a shower and left her hair out to dry as she sat in front of a fan. The brown haired teen was revising and scribbling notes. She was just finishing off Maths after 3 hours and closed her books with a sigh. She put away her things, turned the fan off, sat on her bed and started reading a book.
"Knock, knock." She heard Terra say as he knocked the door. The young teenager smiled at this whilst placing her book down.
"Come in." She said and he opened the door with a smile. He walked inside and sat with her.
"Hey." He smiled at her.
"Hi, Terra." She replied.
"You've been studying hard, huh?" He asked.
"Yeah I just wanna get great grades and get into university." She stated.
"Lani, you're really intelligent and I know you'll be fine!" He smiled.
"You think so?" She asked and he poked her forehead.
"Of course smarty pants!" He laughed. "Now come on, take a break so that I can kick your ass on Tekken!" She smirked at this.
"Pfft bitch, you got nothing on me!" She exclaimed and followed him downstairs.
They went downstairs and played video games. Lani beat him and he beat her after. Sora was tired and decided to go to bed. Vanitas walked Aqua home.
"Wanna watch a movie?" Terra asked and she nodded with a smile. He stood up and walked up to the TV. He looked at all the DVDs they had and he grinned.
"You've got Annabelle!" He exclaimed and she gulped as she got goose bumps.
"Erm, y-yeah we do." She stammered and he smirked at her.
"Are you scared?" He asked and she shook her head.
"Of course not!" She replied confidently.
"Awesome, I'll just turn the lights off then." Terra said and it was dark.
Terra sat next to Lani and he turned the DVD player on. They started watching it and she felt her heart beat escalate when there were scary moments. He glanced at her and knew she was scared. She suddenly felt cold and shivered. The blue eyed 22 year-old noticed this.
"Are you cold?" He asked and she nodded. He took off his cardigan and wrapped it around her. She smiled at him and could smell his scent on the cardigan. Her cheeks turned a faint red.
"Thank you." She mumbled and he nodded.
As they continued watching, she got more and more scared. Lani wrapped her arms around him. He smiled and wrapped his arm around her. She buried her face into his neck refusing to watch as she trembled with fear.
"Hey, it's okay. Nothing will happen, I promise." He stated and she looked up at him with sparkling eyes. She nodded and pulled away.
Vanitas opened the door quietly and noticed what his little sister was watching in the dark. Terra glanced at him and Lani's elder brother placed his finger on his lips. His best friend nodded and Vanitas started tiptoeing to the sofa.
"Boo!" He shouted and her eyes widened. It was as if her soul escaped her body and her heart stopped. She shrieked and fell onto the floor with a loud thump.
Vanitas started laughing so much and she growled. She jumped over the sofa and threw a cushion at him.
"It's not funny! You know how scared I am of stuff like this." She stated. The film finished and Terra turned the light on.
"I'm gonna go home." He stated and they smiled at him.
"See ya." Vanitas said.
"Goodnight Terra." The brown haired teen waved.
Terra left and Lani yawned whilst stretching. She rubbed her eyes and looked really sleepy.
"Well, I'm gonna go to sleep." She stated.
"Goodnight Lani don't let Annabelle get you." He smirked and she punched his stomach. He shrieked with pain and fell onto his knees.
"That's what I thought. Goodnight." She said and went upstairs.
Samantha opened her bedroom door and closed it when she entered. She jumped onto her bed and sighed as she got comfortable. Within minutes, she fell into deep sleep whilst cuddling her pillow.
