"Nine days left. . ." Terra mumbled watching the brilliant sunrise flood the marble arena with reflected colour as if someone had set it alight, Terra had apparently fallen asleep in Cell's arms, again. She smiled up at his china-white face, the same pigment as hers, and gently kissed him on the lips.
Cell's magenta eyes flickered open and he blushed deeply, his cheeks going almost the same colour as his eyes. Terra smiled sweetly up at him and stood up, she wasn't even blushing this time. Cell stood up as well, "The clothes are over in the corner," Cell murmured, still trying to hide the blush from his cheeks. Terra grinned as she picked up the garments. A top and skirt with the exact same pattern and colours as Cell's green and black armour, and the top finished just under her chest area to reveal her shiny, ebony black 'well-of-souls'. The cuffs and linings were a bright orange colour though, the contrast of the two colours complimenting each other well. Wearing those, Cell and her would match 'perfectly'.

Terra grinned broadly up at Cell, "Thank you very much, I um. . . Do you know where any streams or lakes are?" she asked nervously.
"Over there, why?" Cell asked her curiously.
"I need to take a bath," Terra blushed.
"Go ahead," Cell smirked before Terra thanked him again and trotted off the marble arena, over the grassy grounds towards the small forest where the stream was.
Cell looked up from his mediative state when he heard a deep rumbling, Cell frowned and looked out into the horizon, an army of tanks was thundering towards him like a herd of angry buffalo. Cell blinked, 'Terra's still bathing. . .' the thought came to his mind, 'And even if she wasn't, they'd still kill her. . . for looking like me. . .' Cell glowered at the approaching tanks, 'They are fools.'
Terra was walking back through the forest, bathed, dressed and feeling refreshed, "I wonder what Cell is up to. . ." Terra mused aloud.
Terra turned the corner just in time to see the army tanks fire all they had at Cell, Terra's mouth opened in a silent scream, Cell's once proud standing figure became a cloud of purple dust. Terra felt her throat tighten with emotion, her legs wobbling and stumbling like a new born foal's.
'Oh Kami. . . please don't let Cell be dead!' Terra prayed desperately.
Terra felt like she was in someone else's dream, she knew that she was running frantically over to the arena, her dark magenta eyes wide and teary, but she felt disconnected from the rest of the world. Chocking back a sob, she reached the edge of the arena. A large illuminated sphere of pure energy erupted from the cloud of smoke the size of a truck, it hit the army full on and exploded violently. Horrified, Terra watched as the energy beam vaporised the army, soldier by soldier, their dying screams echoing in her head.
Terra shuddered violently, 'All those men. . . wasting their lives on the foolish hope that they could have killed Cell. . .' she pondered. The purple smoke cleared and Cell stood in the center of the unmarred arena, his hand still raised and his magenta eyes glinting with fury.
"Cell!!!" exclaimed Terra.
Cell turned to face her, "Yes?" he replied calmly.
Terra ran up and hugged him tightly, "You almost got blown up!"
Cell chuckled, "Really my dear, you've got to stop worrying about my health. I am probably the most strongest force in this galaxy, there is nothing for you to worry about."
"I'm still worried," Terra told him quietly.
Cell smirked, "I should get you something to eat, you haven't eaten in days and lack of food is bad for you," he purred in her ear.
"Yeah. . . thank you very much," Terra smiled at Cell before he disappeared.
Terra sighed heavily and began pacing, muttering to herself.
"What am I going to do? What does he think of me? Does he like me? Hate me? Oh heck this is making my head spin. . . What if he doesn't like me? What if this is all some sort of big joke and. . . No, he'd never do that. . . But how do I know? Oh, I don't know anything!"
Cell appeared behind Terra as she was pacing, muttering quietly to herself. She had not noticed him. Cell's advanced Namek ears could pick out every quiet mumble she uttered.
"Should I tell him? Oh of course I should tell him, but will I tell him? I have to tell him sooner or later. . . but what if he doesn't love me back? Oh dear god that would be embarrassing. . ."
Cell smirked, "Glad we feel the same way."
Terra jumped out of her skin, "C-Cell?! I didn't see you!" she exclaimed in an apologetic way.
Cell was about to reply when someone else appeared in the arena. Terra felt the hairs on the back of her neck rise, someone was behind her. She yelped and scuttled behind Cell, turning to watch the person from behind the safety of Cell's protection.
Goku blinked, confused, 'Why would someone hide behind Cell? Did she hit her head or something?'
"What do you want Goku?" Cell growled.
"I came for her, let her go," he replied firmly.
"I am not holding Terra prisoner," Cell told him calmly.
Terra poked her pale head out from behind Cell, "Who the heck are you?"
"Woah. . . you look just like Cell!" Goku exclaimed, pointing.
Terra glowered, "It's rude to point!" she told him coldly.
"Goku you have no business here, leave," Cell warned him.
"I have to get her back to the look out-" Goku was cut off.
"I don't want to go back to that horrible place!" Terra squeaked.
"What?!" Goku stared in disbelief.
"You heard her. She wants to stay here," Cell smirked, "Now why don't you be a good little monkey and leave?" Cell paused, then said something to Goku under his breath that was so quiet that Terra couldn't hear it, but Goku did.
Goku glared at Cell, "I will be back for her," Goku said icily, then vanished.
"What did you say to him?" Terra questioned Cell meekly.
Cell shook his head, "There is no need to worry my dear," he told her gently.
