...Ah, Frost. The icy, biting hair, the cloudy black sky, the flattened, obliterated landscape... IT WAS...

    Boring. SO VERY BORING. 

    It was by pure chance Liari was here. Nostalgia, you might say. She had gotten this... urge to visit her work, the first time she was successful. It was a shame she had did it out of rage, though. It would have been so much more satisfying if she had been in the mind to enjoy it! The deep blue majin hovered over the barren flatland that was once a thriving kingdom, her arms crossed over her chest, her head tilted in thought. Maybe she should practice her techniques carving up this planet. Like... who would even stop her? Maybe she would render this planet a nexus for Hell, somewhere where the barriers between the Mortal Realm and the Dead were so thin, anyone with a meaningful level of power could poke their heads through. Ah, what fun would it be if there was an actual DEMON-planet! ...And besides, what would everyone ELSE think when they passed by Frost... only to see it's surrounding logic torn asunder like Janemba's realm-

    Liari blinked. A power suddenly washed over her senses. A familiar one. One... that tickled the edges of a gaping hole... Liari had forgotten that was in her heart. Her eyes widened. Her jaw dropped. Her eyes flashed a glowing shade of pink. It was HER. Oh, great KAIS! 

    "MOIRE!" Liari SCREAMED, her voice carrying over the dead, empty landscape! The air in front of her CRACKED and shattered into a million pieces, revealing a swirling portal of magic behind! The deep blue Majin LUNGED through, suddenly appearing behind Moire... right as she was starting to channel her energies! 

    "MOIRE~!" Liari cried again, wrapping her arms around her waist! She HUGGED her love tightly from behind, nearly pulling her off the ground as she snuggled into her love, taking in the softness of her scent, the smoothness of her skin, the firmness of her body! Her love was BACK! Moire was BACK! 

    "I missed you so much!" The Majin declared, tears flowing freely down her cheeks! "I missed you, I missed you, I missed yoooooooooou! Moire... Oh, Moire..."

    Even in the frigid wastes of Frost, Liari felt warmer and safer than she ever had before. Moire's body pressed against her own invoked a strong, steady heartbeat in the Majin, her warmth growing warmer the longer she cradled her love! Her cheek pressed softly against her purple counterpart's, tears of relief and affection flowing together between their faces. For Liari, all the madness, frustration and boredom of her life bled away in an instant, crumbling to bits and pieces to reveal the real woman inside. She was complete again, WHOLE in a way she had almost forgotten... and she could scarcely imagine EVER letting go of it again.

    "I know, right?" Liari giggled in response to Moire's proclamation! IT HAD been too long! Perhaps not in the grander scheme of things, a few months passed by just as quickly as a second did to the Universe, but to Liari, it might have been an ETERNITY! Sleeping alone, without her family, it... it scared the Majin in a way. Just the same as someone who had donned armor most of their life, being without it made her feel exposed, vulnerable, as if, at any moment, yet ANOTHER assassin would appear and this time finish the job! It scared her even more that the targets might be her family themselves as the Majin race wasn't exactly looked upon... favorably as of late. 

    ...But none of that mattered now. Liari saw now that her fears were foolish! Moire was okay and that meant Terra was okay! Everyone was OKAY! ...And now so would Liari be. The deep blue Majin planted a big soft kiss on Moire's cheek, intertwining their fingers as Moire rested her hands upon hers. A deep sigh of contentment escaped from Liari's nose as she held her love close, absently intertwining her hair-tentacles with Moire's to further their intimacy! Liari didn't know what she'd done to deserve this, having her love brought back to her, but if there was any god of any measure of benevolence out there, she thanked them with every fiber of her being. 

    "Moire..." Liari whispered, closing her eyes. She drank in her lover's shape with her own, feeling her closeness as intensely as she could. Completion... She was full at last...

    After some time, and if Moire didn't make a move herself, Liari would slowly untangle herself from her love, if for no other reason than to slip around in front of her! The gentle, loving grin on the majin's face paired with her glowing pink eyes told the purple Majin all she needed to know about JUST how much she was missed. Liari would reach her hands up and take Moire's face in them, guiding it towards Liari's before meeting her lips in tender kiss. Steam ebbed out of the pores lining Liari as their lips met, her heart pounding furiously in her chest. Suddenly, all that anger, hate, and bitterness that Liari had for Earth and it's people disappeared, fluttered away like an insect. It all seemed so pointless... when she had Moire in her arms.

    "...You're back now... That's all that matters..." Liari whispered as they pulled apart, finally acknowledging Moire's comment. "...But you know... You could stand to call every once in a while. It'd make the days without you a lot easier." Liari winked, pecked Moire's lips again and then stepped back if she would let her, her hands drifting down to take Moire's in them. "So, tell me, cutie. What have YOU been doing since we were here? Having fun and stuff?"

    ...In fact, Liari had been so caught up in the return of Moire, she hadn't even THOUGHT to scan her love for any change in power! When she did, or rather, when Moire allowed her signature to flare up more overtly, Liari's eyes WIDENED and she nearly staggered back in surprise!

    ...Uh, wow. Yeah, Moire was growing REALLY quickly. She remembered when they first met, the blue Majin did, how Moire was barely more than a microscopic threat. She was something to note, of course. Most fighters with any sort of mettle were, but her power at that time was hardly anything to be concerned over! Now, feeling it wash over her again freshly, Liari was dumbstruck. She... she was almost HALF of what Liari was at rest, her power PUSHING the Majin in such a way that she could actually FEEL it nudge her back a tiny bit! Well... uh... That was both intimidating... and attractive. Liari suddenly looked upon Moire in a whole new light. SURE, she always respected Moire. She loved her, after all, and enjoyed training with her! There was nothing quite like training with another Majin! Moire was always elegant and sweet, her beauty matched only by her grace. ...Now she had power, REAL power, to back it up. She was very quickly becoming Liari's equal... something that made Liari... happy.

    Excited, SURE! She would FINALLY have a sparring partner that wasn't out for her head, able to match her blow-for-blow and, perhaps off of power AND technique, BEAT her fairly! ...But what mattered more was the pride she felt for Moire. She was her girlfriend and she had seen this purple Majin truly bloom into her own, open her heart to her, and become something beautiful beyond the physical. Liari's smile was warmer than the distant star of this planet, her cheeks a soft, dark blue.

    "Wow..." Liari echoed, breathless. "...You've gotten so strong, Moire..." Liari leaned in, gently pressing her forehead against her partner's. She felt the urge to be closer than mere hand-holding, to fully bask in her lover's energy... and her presence. Everything was just right, Liari determined. A tad cold, thanks to their surroundings, but that's alright. She could teleport them out of here in a jiffy, go wherever they wanted to go. Moire mentioned that this was still only a fraction of her previous FULL POWER and that she had ALL KINDS of plans for their family. Liari grinned, nuzzling even closer.

    "Then we'll get there together..." She assured, nuzzling her partner cutely! "You can count on me..." ...And then reality SMACKED Liari on the back of the head like a stern disciplinarian! Moire would take this moment to point out that they were, in fact, standing in a wasteland where a bustling city used to be! She asked if Liari wanted to explain that and the Majin pulled back, disgust, though not necessarily meant for Moire, flashed across Liari's face. 

    "You could say that, yeah." The blue Majin scowled. "...From the moment I got here, they attacked me, tried to contain me. I told them to stop, but they didn't listen. They persisted and even pushed me. So... I struck back." Liari would gently pull a hand from Moire's and make a swiping motion with it. "...I erased their capital. They tried to hurt me so I hurt them. Now things are quiet, and nobody bothers me or my family anymore."

   Liari looked off to the side, then up, as if thinking.

    "I put Terra to bed here back then... I still feel her around here. I think she's still asleep." Liari murmured. "If you like, we can go see her."

    Liari nodded slowly at Moire's assessment. That was what the Majin had been thinking at the time too. Who were THEY to get up in her face, demand that SHE come with them and spend HER time in their musty, dusty, dirty prison!? WHAT, even, DID SHE DO!? ...But having enough time to think about it, the Majin wasn't sure that her actions were... proportional. No matter how many men, weapons and vehicles that army had with them, they had nothing on her, someone who could EAT a planet for lunch if she chose. She could have simply... walked right through them passed through the horde of soldiers as if it were a stagnate body of water, only the most limited of resistance registering to her. ...Was it really worth it, wiping out a civilization for inconveniencing her? ...Like, she had done things just as bad in the past, threatening to nuke a city because she was bored... 

    ...She didn't know. Moire seemed to, though... and that counted for something. Liari smiled at her purple counterpart and lightly rested her forehead against hers. It felt so good to have Moire back in her life, as if everything was RIGHT as it should be. She had her daughter again, she had her lover back... Everything was as good as it could be. She couldn't wait to bring her back to Earth, to their home, and share a bed with her again. Sleeping just hadn't been the same without another body to hold onto or another person's shoulder to nuzzle up into. For now, she would enjoy the moment a little while longer. She needn't rush things, not right away. They had all the time in the world! Earth, as usual, was dragging it's feet to deal with her, no other planets seemed REMOTELY interested in the Majin so... Why not drink in the reality the Universe gave her back the most beautiful and supportive Majin in the universe?

    After a bit, Liari would mention that, in fact, Terra WAS here. Hibernating, as Majin did from time-to-time, but she was fine. Moire seemed more than eager to reunite their family and that made Liari's heart flutter in her chest. Perhaps for a half-second, she had thought Moire's sudden reappearance to be too-good-to-be-true... What she had said confirmed that it WAS too good... but far too true. 

    "Take my hand, then." Liari said, holding a hand out to her love. If she took it, the two would dematerialize into flashing, multi-colored cubes, the world fragmenting away until it reformed... into the inside of a ship...? Why, it was an old Namekian vessel, the one the three of them took to get here... And there, lying on the floor with a half-drawn picture of Moire and Liari on either side of a colorless outline of Terra... was the little pink Majin girl herself, fast FAST asleep. Liari couldn't help but let out a light sigh, catching sight of her daughter and her picture, her heart filling with a love so strong, it almost caught Liari by surprise! She really had no idea how much she missed them... 

     Turning to Moire, Liari would lightly peck her cheek before pulling away towards her daughter, gently scooping up Terra in her arms and folding her into them. She cradled the little girl against her chest as she came back towards Moire, leaning into the purple Majin so that they both hovered over their child together. 

    "Terra..." Liari whispered, lightly brushing her face with a tentacle. "It's time to get up... Don't be a sleepyhead..." The little pink girl stirred and twisted lightly in Liari's grasp... before she opened her eyes, tired red irises flicking up to see her mothers looking over her.

    "Momma....?" She yaaaaawned... before turning to Moire... "Momma...? How long... I sleep...?" 

    "A long time... But it's okay..." Liari assured, gently tracing a hand across Terra's face. The little girl nuzzled into it. "...Your Momma and I just wanted to see you..."

    Terra giggled and lightly batted at Moire's tentacle as it lightly stroked her face, playing with the appendage not unlike how a cat might a string! She leaned her head up into Moire's hand, allowing it to gently stroke across her smooth, pink scalp, basking in the warmth of her mother's touch! ...And Moire was her mother, there was no doubt about that. Terra had always been content with Liari as her FIRST mother, the one who fed and taught and trained her... She was sweet, and loving and gentle... but she was sometimes... goooone... With Moire here, though, Terra would never be alone again! She had her mommas back! It'd be just like with Auntie Ayu but... BETTER! 

    Liari sighed happily as Moire slipped an arm behind her back, gently resting her hand upon her shoulder and embracing her in a half-hug! She had missed this so much: Her family. Maybe that was what Liari had been fighting so hard to fill, the void where her family had been! The Majin leaned gently against her partner as she cradled her daughter against her chest, holding her up close so that her love could have easy access to Terra. It might have sounded odd to Liari's ears but... She felt safe here, as if everything was complete. She had her daughter in her hands and her lover right beside her... What more could she ask for in life...? 

    "Mommas..." Terra mumbled, burying her face in Liari's chest! "...I miss you so much... Never wanna be away again... Never wanna sleep without you... It not comfy... It lonely...."

    "Oh, I bet, my little sweet..."  Liari murmured, lightly pressing her cheek against the top of her little girl's head! "...Don't you worry... We're not gonna be away as long as before anymore..."

    "As long...?" Terra questioned, looking up! Liari looked over at her partner, giving her a knowing glance.

    "Well... things are getting really dangerous out there..." The deep blue Majin admitted, sadness clear in her voice. "...Very mean, very strong guys are coming out of nowhere... Your mommas gotta get ready for them... To keep you safe and stuff..." She once more looked to Moire... and smiled, She reached out with one of her hands and gently returned the half-hug her lover was giving her, Liari gently slipping a hand up along her back and resting her hand upon her shoulder!

    "But don't worry! Your mommas are the strongest in the universe! We won't let anything bad happen to you!"

    "I know!" Terra declared with an excited nod! She leaned up and kissed Moire's forehead! Then she did the same for Liari! "I know you do everything right! Everything be alright!"
