Author's Note: I came up with this one just recently but hey, I like this idea and I wanted to do something I never tried to do before. This pairing does have its supporters and I like to cater, so have fun!

Terra was immediately confused. The last thing she remembered was being engulfed in a blinding light, and then she heard the sound of water. Not just water but the sound of ocean waves.

'What in the world...?' To say she was confused was an understatement.

Opening her eyes the first thing she saw was white, and when she looked around she became even more confused.

She was in a room with white walls and matching ceiling, with elegant windows lining the wall. After sitting up and trying to gather herself she was able to get a better scope of her new surroundings. The room was very big and had smooth red carpet on the floor. The sound of the waves could be heard past a pair of glass doors that were open, the shear white curtains flowed in the breeze that also carried the distinct scent of salt water.

'How did I get here?' Terra asked and she began to move, and it was then that she saw she had been sitting on a mattress. A large, soft mattress with large feather pillows and thin red blankets. The amount of questions she had only multiplied from there as she got off the bed and stood up, feeling the plush carpet under her bare feet was rather refreshing.

Taking a few steps away from the bed Terra cautiously went towards the open glass doors and peered outside. What she saw made her mouth open in surprise. She saw water, vast amounts of it, no doubt an ocean, but also saw miles of white sand beach as well as tress of a tropical jungle with a tall mountain deeper inland. She didn't recognize this place, having fought in countless battles for the powers of order and discord she would have known where she was. Still, after taking in this kind of scenery she couldn't help but feel at peace, a time of peace after being in war for so long. She couldn't even sense any malicious intent in the air, and that made her feel relieved.

She stepped out onto the balcony was immediately met with a stronger breeze. She soaked it all in with a big breath followed by a relaxed sigh. "This feels...good..."

"Glad you think so."

Terra heard the voice and looked around, but a shadow came over her and she looked up.

Descending down from the air the young man reached the balcony after Terra backed up and gave him the necessary room.

Terra recognized the man and elegant if not flamboyant appearance. "Kuja?"

Former warrior of discord, the man known as Kuja walked along the length of the balcony, "I see you're finally awake, Miss Branford."

Terra wasn't worried about Kuja being with her. Though the last time she had seen him they had been on opposing sides of the battlefield, she knew deep down he had grown concerned for her well-being and she even considered him a friend.

"Kuja, it's good to see you," she said.

The young man smiled lightly. "As it is for you, dear, though I wish it would have been under slightly better circumstances."

Salutations aside, Terra asked a better question. "Do you know where we are, Kuja? Last thing I remember was defeating Shinryu and then nothing." She silently hoped he would provide a satisfying answer to make her feel better.

Sadly that wasn't the case. Kuja turned to her and shook his head, "I'm afraid not, sadly. I just went about this place, seeing if any of our friends or allies would be around, but my search found nothing."

He turned back towards the beach and if Terra could see she would have seen a pleased expression, "Though I will say the beauty of this place is as perplexing as it is mysterious."

Without hesitation Terra walked up and stood beside him, resting her hands on the balcony railing. "I agree. Even though I thought I would be sent home after we defeated Shinryu, I wouldn't mind a detour for a bit of peace before that."

Kuja's eyes turned towards her, and for a moment he admired the girl's idea of peace. A new stage to perform, as well as a new role entirely, suited Kuja to the fullest. At least until they found a sure fire way to return to their own worlds, that is.

Still, he thought the idea of sharing the stage with the maiden beside him as...refreshing, to say the least.

Terra turned to look at Kuja and smiled.

'She will make an exquisite partner indeed,' he thought as he returned the smile with one of his own.
