Kefka's defeat whisked away all of Terra's worries. The Empire defeated, Terra asks Celes to accompany her to Narshe in order to help the few remaining survivors rebuild the city and restore it to something greater than it used to be. Terra had actually taken quite a liking to Celes throughout their time together, prompting her request. She couldn't lay her finger on what it was about her. Her blonde hair? Her deep ocean blue eyes? An aura surrounded Celes and that is all Terra saw, it pulled her in like the world's strongest magnet. All Terra wanted was to be around her presence, as it was the closest thing to magic she would ever experience again.

They had made their way back to Narshe after a longer-than-desired airship ride. Heading in, they see the city is being restored at a much quicker pace than the two of them anticipated. Seeing as most of the larger building and industrial projects had been completed, the two were appointed to caring for the children. This excited Terra, as her caring for children in Mobliz had sparked a burning passion for childcare. Celes, on the other hand, showed some disdain for this. Having been a general in the Gestahlian Empire, children weren't exactly her strong suit. But she wanted to expand her horizons and learn new things in life, and she liked seeing Terra so excited about this, so she chose to tag along with Terra in this endeavor.

. . .

A year had passed and Narshe was built back to something bigger and better than it ever had been. Terra and Celes had grown extremely close to each other, Terra's feelings for Celes flourished throughout this year and became too much for her to bear. She knew she had to confess her love for her or she would regret it for the rest of her life. She waited moment after moment for the perfect opportunity to declare how she felt, as it turned out however, she didn't have to wait. After sending home the last child they were taking care of, Celes sat Terra down with a sense of urgency.

"Terra, there is something I have to confess to you. It has been eating away at me for so long now."Celes sat there for a while figuring out how she should even say something like this. She wondered no longer when Terra blurted out,

"I'm in love with you, Celes." Celes was taken aback, as she wasn't expecting her feelings to be returned. A whirlwind stirred itself up inside of Celes, her thoughts and words tangled themselves around each other, she wasn't able to speak no matter how hard she tried.

"Celes, it's okay. You can say it." Terra urged Celes to say what she already knew. Although she knew it, the rush of hearing Celes say those words was incomparable to anything she would ever feel.

"Terra…" Celes's cheeks began to glow a bright, rosy red. Almost matching the color of Terra's outfit. She managed to sputter out the last few words of her confession, "I'm..i-in love with you, too." She felt herself almost pass out after saying that. Her stomach felt like it had left her body. She had no more words to say and only wanted actions to show how she felt. And thus she pulled Terra in close to her...and locked their lips together. The cascade of emotions that washed over both of the women whisked the two away to a place that transcends even bliss itself. The love they shared for each other outshone every single star in the universe. This was something more than love, yet no word in any language could describe what they felt for each other. They spent the rest of the year building their relationship and deepening their love for one another. These two women were truly inseparable.

~A/N~ I hope you all enjoyed that small little prologue detailing their romance. I originally included this in the draft of the first chapter but then thought it wouldn't really fit with the content of it. So I decided to make it a prologue instead. Thank you for reading!~ Please review.
