Terra felt something hard and uncomfortable underneath her. . . rocks? Terra opened her foggy magenta eyes and saw that she was now lying on the surface of yet another island, except this one was lush with vegetation including trees of all heights that made a thick canopy that covered the whole island, with blankets still draped around her, "Never fall asleep. . . It isn't safe. . ." she muttered to herself.
Terra leaned back against the thing she was lying against and tried to get back to sleep. . . thing she was lying against?! Terra yelped and sat up, turning her head around slowly to see what it was. Her alert magenta eyes saw Cell's sleeping outline in the semi darkness of the sunrise, 'Cell?' she thought, 'He carried me out of that palace thingie. . .'
Terra smiled appreciatively at him, her silver hair illuminating as the sun's rays hit it. Terra almost gasped when she saw Cell's face, 'Dear Kami, he looks like a freakin fish!!!'
Cell was sitting on the ground beside her, cross-legged and probably either meditating or sleeping. Terra remembered his exact words, 'I will come back of course, but you probably wont recognise me. . .'
Terra looked him over, his head-crest was split, his face looked more human, his feet looked more human, his wings were gone too, but he was still the same Cell. Terra sighed in relief, 'Still the same Cell. . .' Terra paused before leaning forward and kissing Cell gently on the forehead.
Cell felt Terra stirring a long while ago, but remained still, he didn't want to alarm her. He forced himself not to snap awake when she yelped, he knew what it was that she saw. Cell felt something soft press against his forehead and his eyes popped open. His tail began to sway slightly and his cheeks lit up.
Terra moved back slightly and yelped again when she saw Cell's magenta eyes, exactly like hers, staring back up at her, "Cell! Y-your awake!" she blinked, and shrank back to hide the blush on her cheeks.
"You recognise me?" Cell inquired, his deep voice quite a contrast to his imperfect one.
Terra nodded, "Well. . . how many bug-guys can there be on one planet?" Terra laughed nervously.
Cell nodded, wondering why their eyes looked so similar. Terra yawned and stood up, still wearing the garments provided by the people at the lookout, the white silk moving like a sea of shiny marble when ever she moved.
"Uh, what should I do with the blanket?" Terra asked him nervously.
Cell blasted it to nothing without even looking. Terra, who was well away from the blanket sighed dramatically, "The meaning of life is 'Boom'."
Cell frowned, he could feel a large group of ki moving towards the island, it was the Z fighters. Cell inwardly cursed that he chose to use a ki blast to take care of the blanket. He also noticed something else, 18's ki was coming from an island near theirs.
Cell stood up, his eyes alert, 'I've got to hide Terra. . . I don't want them to find her again and I have to get 18,' Cell pondered.
Terra, noticing his reaction, stood too, "What is it?" she asked meekly.
"Z fighters," Cell muttered angrily.
"Oh," Terra replied fidgety.
"Quickly, you should hide, if they find you again. . . I might not be able to get you back that easily," Cell admitted gruffly.
Terra nodded, "Um, where?"
Cell grabbed her around the waist and flew up into the thick canopy, Terra squeaked and clung on tightly to him. Cell flew up and placed her carefully on a thick branch, making sure she wouldn't fall off.
"Stay here, try not to draw too much attention to yourself," Cell told her quickly.
"I wont. And you. . . don't try to get yourself blown up, okay?" Terra asked him worriedly.
Cell smirked, "We'll see. . ." he told her before flying down and off to the island 18 was on.
