Challenge: [272] Metamorphosis
Title: A Small Misunderstanding
Word Count: 272
Spoilers: Very minor for BBS
Notes: Because annoyed!Ven is adorable.


If Ven had felt embarrassed as soon as Terra’s eyes found him by the manor house, it was nothing compared to how he felt when he saw his friend’s speechless shock slowly give way to a wide grin.

“Hey, Aqua!” he called over his shoulder. “C’mere! It’s OK, I’ve found him.”

“Really? Thank goodness!” Ven heard her footsteps approaching before she appeared all of a sudden just past Terra’s shoulder. “One minute he was there, and the next- oh!” She’d spotted him now, eyes widening and a hand flying to her mouth. Ven didn’t know what to say, which was unfortunate, because it gave Terra the chance to speak instead.

“It’s alright,” he said, sounding far too pleased with himself, “He’s all in one piece, we just have a...tiny problem here.”

Should’ve known, Ven thought darkly, crossing his arms over his chest and aiming his best glare up at Terra.

“Well,” Aqua replied from behind her hand (Ven, hoping for sympathy, had a horrible feeling that the way her eyes were creasing up at the corners didn’t bode well), “I can see why there might be a, uhh, little trouble here.”

“This isn’t funny, you guys!” Ven shouted, clenching his fists. “We gotta fix this! It’s serious!”

“Oh, c’mon Ven.” Terra said as Aqua broke into a convenient coughing fit. “We’re just kidding around, you know that. There’s no need for this small misunderstanding.”

“Gah!” And Ven, standing all of three and a half inches on Terra’s palm, doubled his glare and swore to himself that once he’d returned to his proper height, he’d make sure it was Terra who suffered next.

*rofl* Great take on one of the funnies scenes in KH canon. Well played~

Glad you enjoyed it! :D

He takes it surprisingly well after a bit, though. I always thought maybe he just figured that Castle of Dreams is populated by giants.

*dies* I can picture this.

As the only one not subjected to magical shrinking, Terra would never let him live it down! Thanks for reading.

That was adorably funny in a way (probably especially because this is about Ven), and it really made me curious as to what this small misunderstanding was. XD

The whole thing with "small" and "tiny" being thrown around was just Terra and Aqua being mean and making fun of him for being the only one to shrink at Castle of Dreams, because as the youngest, well, that's partly what he's there for. XD I'm glad you liked it! It was fun to write.

lol~~~ This was so cute! XD Poor Ven. Not exactly having the time of his life here. I wonder how the world decide who shrinks and who doesn't.

Maybe it's world karma? Cinderella gets to go to the ball, so Ven has to be three inches tall for a bit to balance it out. XD Glad you enjoyed it!
