Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts.
Author's Note: It's been a while, hasn't it?
I'm sorry to say, but I deleted all my stories (even the oneshots) and I didn't make backup copies. And I regret that. Deeply. Anyway, let's not dwell on it.
I decided to write this after being inspired by Lyssala's TerraxAqua stories. I thought, "Hey, why not give this a shot?" The only time I've written about them was in Facade, but they weren't exactly on the best of terms. (I highly doubt anyone remembers any of my old stuff though.)
I wrote a sentence and really liked it, but didn't know how to make a story around it. So here you go.
Hope you enjoy and please review!
