"Happy birthday Lily!" Everyone exclaimed happily.
"Thank you!" Lily exclaimed back happily.
Not only was celebrating her birthday with family and friends; but they were also celebrating Christmas together.
Bulma had rented a cabin in the mountains in October for family and friends for Lily's birthday and Christmas.
Lily was now six and Haruto was eight…but he would be nine next month.
Lily had just finished opening her presents when something outside caught her attention; it actually had her in a trance. She dropped what she was doing and just went after whatever it was that had her attention.
Fifteen Minutes Later:
Haruto was the first to notice that Lily was missing.
"Have you seen Lily anywhere?" Haruto asked going up to Trunks and Tandy.
"What do you mean?" Trunks asked right away.
"I looked in her room and the bathroom; she's not anywhere." Haruto said urgently.
"I'm sure she's ok. Paisley, what's wrong?" Tandy asked when she seen Paisley run up out of breath.
"Lily…there's something wrong with her." Paisley said out of breath.
"What do you mean?" Trunks asked right away.
"Her eyes are different. She seen a light and just started following it; she wasn't herself." Paisley said panicked.
Haruto just took off, following Lily's footprints.
"Come on guys!" Vegeta and Trunks yelled; they were going to follow Lily's and Haruto's footprints. However, as soon as they got out there, there were no footprints to follow; they had been covered by a new blanket of snow.
"How is that even possible? The snow wasn't coming down this hard just a second ago." Bulma said looking at the snow.
"This ain't normal snow…normal snow wouldn't cover up their footprints this quickly." Vegeta said seriously.
Just then several snow monsters appeared.
"Bulma get back inside; take Chi-Chi, Videl, 18, the girls and the kids downstairs; we'll take care of this! And then we'll find Lily and Haruto and bring them back!" Vegeta yelled as he, Trunks, Goku, Gohan, Goten, Piccolo, Krillin and Tien went to fight.
"Get off our land!" The biggest snow demon yelled throwing a large ball of snow at everyone.
Fifteen Minutes Later:
With Haruto & Lily:
It took him a good fifteen minutes or so, but Haruto eventually seen Lily; she was in the arms of what looked like a lady made of snow.
"So…you've come for her, have you? That doesn't surprise me; you've always come for her." The lady spoke, looking towards Haruto as she held Lily.
"Give her back!" Haruto yelled, standing his ground.
"Such a pretty little girl… Soon, she shall be mine." The lady spoke, moving hair out of Lily's face.
"Who are you?! What do you want with Lily?!" Haruto asked, demanding an answer as he moved closer.
He, however, didn't want to make the lady snap and hurt Lily.
"So you don't remember then… I suppose you are just a child. Back then you were an adult…a prince…that she stole from me." The lady spoke once again.
"Who the hell are you?!" Haruto asked again, this time really pissed off.
"Haru…" Lily said weakly.
"This girl is always getting in my way…" The lady said incasing Lily in an ice crystal.
"What did you do?!" Haruto asked in shock, eyes wide as he looked at a frozen Lily.
"Haruto…if you really love this girl; you have about five minutes to save her. You have to free her from this crystal. But be warned, if you carelessly just smash the crystal to pieces, you'll also smash her to pieces. How will you get her out when you can't smash it because if you try to melt it, you'll get nowhere with how cold it is." The lady said before turning to snow and vanishing.
"Lily!" Haruto yelled running to her.
"Lily, I'm so sorry. But don't you worry; I'll get you out of there. I promise." Haruto said seriously as he promised her.
'How do I get her out without smashing her to pieces or being able to melt it?' Haruto asked himself.
About Five Minutes Later:
Haruto was beating himself up; he couldn't figure out how to get her out.
He tried tapping on the crystal, but it started to crack at the top, so he stopped.
He tried using his heat powers, but as quickly as it melted, it refroze.
He even tried dragging it back to the cabin so he could get help; but every time he got her a few feet, the crystal would go back to where it was originally.
"Lily…I'm so sorry…" Haruto said, crying; he had failed. He had failed not only her, but her family and friends and himself.
Just as the lady started reforming Haruto hugged the crystal around what would be Lily's waist and kissed what would be her cheek.
After he did all that, the crystal started to crack and ended up shattering, releasing Lily from her encasing.
"Well…it seems you really do love the girl. However, you're much too young to actually be kissing on the lips, you still feel so strongly for her…just like you did fifty thousand years ago." The lady said sadly.
"What are you talking about?" Haruto asked confused.
"Never you mind that. After a few minutes you'll forget this conversation will have ever happened. You will just think this was a dream." The lady said waving her hands over Haruto and Lily…
With The Others:
One would think that with every Gatling Gun, Kamehameha Wave, Distructo Disk and Solar Flares that went at the snow monsters, they would be destroyed. But no; they just keep regenerating, using the snow on the ground.
"Get off our land!" The snow monsters kept repeating over and over again.
"Damnit!" Vegeta cursed as each and every one of his attacks failed.
"How are we supposed to beat these things?!" Goku asked as he landed in the snow.
"Why do they keep saying this is their land?" Tien asked looking around.
"Come my pets; it is time to leave. We have been beaten once again." A female voice said calmly.
"Who's there?" Krillin asked looking around.
"Snow queen?" Piccolo asked in a joking kind of way when a lady made of snow appeared.
"That's no concern of to you. I think these belong to you." The lady said as an orb popped in front of everyone, revealing Lily and Haruto.
"After tonight you won't remember any of this." The lady said one again waving her hands over everyone.
The Next Morning:
Everyone woke up the next morning everyone woke up feeling like the temperature dropped fifteen or twenty degrees.
"Daddy, I'm cold…" Lily complained as she walked over to Trunks.
"I know baby; we all are." Trunks said picking Lily up while Tandy picked Paisley up.
"The thermostat is broke…" Bulma mumbled annoyed before calling the owner; she was not happy. She was promised everything in this cabin worked and ran perfectly.
"Maybe we should go; the kids can't handle this. In fact, the only ones who can handle this are Aquamarine and her kids and Flake and Tanzanite…" Tandy said calmly.
"She's right…" Vegeta mumbled.
"Ok…I'm sorry everyone." Bulma said sincerely; she wanted this to be perfect.
"It's ok; it's not your fault." Everyone said at the same time as they went to pack everything up and get out of there.
As they were leaving, Lily laid her head on Haruto's shoulder, hugged him and kissed him on the cheek, causing him to blush; he hugged her back.
Trunks watched as Lily and Haruto held each other all the way home…
