Author's Notes: These are being written for FanFic100 on LiveJournal. There are 100 prompts and you have to write one fic for each.
Dissidia: Final Fantasy (or Final Fantasy: Dissidia) belongs to Square-Enix and I do not make any money from writing these fics.
Most of these fics can be considered AU or 'scenes they never showed in Dissidia'. SPOILERS in most of the fics.
Pairing is Terra Branford and Cloud Strife.

"Green"

--------------------

Perhaps it was her unusual hair color that first caught his eye. It was an emerald shade of green that reminded Cloud of some one's eyes, but his memory was eluding him ever since the moment he found himself in a strange place with perhaps even stranger companions.

One of the others, named Cecil if he heard correctly, mentioned to the girl that she looked like a friend of his, and the girl smiled politely. So it seemed that green wasn't such an odd coloring after all, at least not in some of their worlds. As he began to wonder if she dyed her hair, Cloud stopped mid thought and asked himself, almost out loud, why was he so fixated on such a topic of little consequence?

When she started to walk towards him, Cloud felt unnaturally nervous and he didn't even know why. He had greeted most of the others with a brief hello and the repeated assertions that he had no idea what was going on. This introduction should be no different.

"I saw you staring at me," she said with a small laugh. "My name is Terra, it's nice to meet you."

"Cloud Strife," he replied, unable to meet her eyes. He prayed he was not blushing, but his cheeks felt hot and once again, when did this ever happen to him? "I didn't mean to stare, it's just that I never saw..."

Terra guessed what he was alluding to. "My hair," she said, "is a bit unusual, isn't it? At least it is on my world. Cecil said his friend Rydia has similar hair. But mine is this way because I'm part Esper."

"Esper?" Cloud finally looked up and saw she did not look upset over his questioning. She simply nodded.

"It's hard to explain...I can barely remember much about my life right now, but somehow I know that my parents were an Esper and a human. I'm not sure what that means for me, but I guess it at least means green hair." Terra laughed and Cloud found himself laughing as well.

"It suits you," he told her, and he meant it. The deep color framed her pale skin and made her look exotic and innocent all at once, made her stand out but seem perfectly normal, a paradox of...

Cloud shook his head. He was thinking way too much about this, especially when there were much more important matters at hand.

"Nice to have met you, Cloud," Terra said. "I hope we will be able to be friends while we are here." She gave him one more smile before walking off to greet another of the oddly assembled group.

Throughout the rest of the small introductions, his eyes kept going back to find her in the crowd, and each time he noticed something more about her than just her hair. And little did he know, she was doing the exact same thing.
