Another idea for another short story after watching something from the Big Bang Theory. Mostly, these chapters will deal with the people of the Land of Departure and Ventus's being there. So, what will happen when Ventus finds some bongos? Craziness? Silliness? Epic faces? Or all the above?

Apprentice Years: Ventus and the Bongos

2:30 a.m., Terra's room, Land of Departure Castle…

Terra, sound asleep, woke up from his sleep as he heard the sound of drumbeats. He groggily looked over at the clock and saw that it was 2:30 in the morning. The brunette sighed and muttered, "Please don't let this be Ventus playing bongos…"

He got out of bed, wearing only a white shirt and shorts and sighed again. "Please don't let this be Ventus playing bongos…" he muttered.

The young man of 17 grabbed his brown housecoat and walked out of his room. He followed the music to Ventus's room. Terra opened the door to see that 12 year old Ventus was playing the bongo drums.

The blonde looked at Terra and sung, "Hello Terra, do you like my bongos?"

He kept drumming and asked, "Betcha didn't know that I found some bongos."

Ventus kept drumming and Terra said, "Ventus, it's 2:30 in the morning."

"2:30 in the morning is a good time for bongos," Ven said, drumming still.

"I was sleeping!" Terra yelled.

"Terra sleeps while I play bongos," Ven said, still drumming.

"No, he doesn't," Terra said.

"Terra no sleeps while I play bongos. BONGO SOLO!" Ven said.

The young keybearer started drumming loudly and wildly. Terra, annoyed as it was too early, yelled, "Stop it! Stop it! STOP IT!"

Ven stopped drumming, but added a small beat at the end. He had a puppy dog look on his face and Terra wasn't amused. Aqua, hearing the drumming, came into the room and yelled, "Ventus, the heck?"

"Hello, Aqua. Guess what? Ventus decided to play the bongos!" Terra yelled.

"Why did you want to play the bongos?" Aqua asked.

"Because Master Xehanort said that the Master used to play the bongos," Ven said.

"So that's what possessed you to do that?" Terra asked, tired.

Ven nodded and Aqua yelled, "I don't care if the Master played the bongos! Go to bed!"

"Aqua no sleep while I play bongos," Ventus said, resuming his drumming.

"Er, wait! Rule #4, no loud noises after 11 p.m.," Terra said, reciting one of the rules.

"You're reciting the Master's rules? Are you kidding? We live in a chaotic world now," Ven said, looking bewildered.

He then got up, holding the bongos. "Where are you going?" Aqua asked.

"Wherever the music takes me," Ven said.

He left his room, leaving the two older keybearers behind. The two then heard Ven playing again.

"I play bongos walking down the stairs," Ven started.

The two then heard him fall down the stairs. "Ow…Never play bongos walking down the stairs," Ven said, playing the bongos.

Terra and Aqua sighed and headed back to bed. 'This is going to be interesting,' Terra thought about Ventus, the new apprentice.
