Rose walked outside, followed by Kuja. The air was still slightly chilled from early morning frost. She stopped on a heavily dewed branch and scanned the horizon. A gust of cold air blew by and she shivered unconsciously, only to be pulled into a warm embrace. Glancing slightly behind herself, her eyes met Kuja's and the silently exchanged loving glances.
"It's cold...Terra was always warmer than this."
Kuja nodded silently and pulled her closer. "I know. You will grow accustomed to it soon enough."
He raised his left hand and concentrated. A burst of magic shot up into the air, giving a bright sparkle. As if on cue, a silver dragon appeared and circled the tree, slowly landing before the two Terrans. Growling softly, the dragon knelt down and extended a paw to help them mount.
"Ladies first." Kuja lifted Rose before she could object and placed her onto its back.
"Kuja..."
He climbed onto the dragon and sat next to her. "Yes?"
She smirked. A small water ball dropped from nowhere onto his head.
Kuja looked at her with wide eyes for a moment...but his expression soon changed into one of amusement.
Man...I love her...
"Aren't we being mischievous..." A wide grin crossed his face, "Two can play that game...come here you..." He reached out and pulled her into his lap.
"Better yet...I'll get you later..." He pulled her closer as he kissed her.
After a moment, she pulled away. "That's if you can catch me first..." She disappeared and then another silver dragon pulled alongside the first. On it was Rose.
"Where are you think you're going?" Kuja laughed and nudged the dragon, causing it to fly closer to the other.
"I'll race you back to Treno!"
Rose whispered something to the dragon and it veered off and flew towards Treno, Kuja not to far behind.
