Ch.2

Why the hell can't I get any sleep? Vegeta asked himself. He had been tossing and turning since his head touched the pillow. Memories of Serena kept flooding in his mind. He knew that after all these years she finally came back to him. It still didn't seem right. How could she have been gone all of these years and suddenly show up one day? Vegeta was scared that if he went to sleep she would disappear and leave him heartbroken once again. He knew he wouldn't be able to survive if that happened.

Sighing he got up and prepared to take a walk to ease his churning mind. Could she just be a dream? Could this entire day have been nothing but my imagination? he thought to himself. He came to a halt in front of a door. Vegeta mentally scolded his feet, if you weren't attached to me I would blast you right now! For this wasn't just any door, it was *her* door. Looking at the door, he remembered the last time this had happened. Chuckling a little bit he slowly turned the doorknob. Walking in he saw his tenshi, his megami.

She laid like all the other princesses in the fairy tales. Her long silvery golden hair was spread out around her, down from its usual hairstyle. Her long eyelashes rested against her slightly rosy cheeks. Her lips were slightly parted practically begging to be kissed. Yep, the usual way a goddess looks in her slumber, absolutely perfect and serene. Spotting a chair near the bed he vacated it and was content to watch the dark blue comforter rise and fall for about an hour.

************************************************************************

~*~*Serena's Dream*~*~

Run. It was her instinct, so she ran. She found herself in the dress of Neo Queen Serenity. Her wings were swaying behind her as she ran for her life. She didn't know what she was running from, but knew that she *dare* not stop. The dark hallways were becoming more of a maze. Right. Left. Right. Right. She couldn't place where she was, but something was *very* familiar about this place. Turning left she found huge gray double doors. Something, perhaps fear, drove her to open them. Rushing in the black room she made her way to the center.

A column of light streaked down from above, surrounding her. The light seemed to embrace her as it drove back the darkness. Spinning around slowly she tried to see through the almost living fog. A sudden chill raced down her back and she turned to see that part of the fog was darker than the rest. Squinting she saw the outline of a man walking steadily towards her. He seemed to greedily absorb the dark mist.

Fear. Never had she felt such pure and uncontrollable fear. It gripped her very soul and refused to succumb to her demands. She couldn't breathe. The fear had overrun of all her senses. She wanted to cry, not only did she fear someone for no apparent reason, but she was just so scared. She not only feared him, but his power, and his intentions. "I finally have you my Neo Queen."

~*~*End Dream*~*~

Serena shot up in bed, breathing hard. Her eyes were closed tightly as she rocked slightly to-and-fro. Comfort was elsewhere that night as she shook uncontrollably. She had never been so scared in all of her life. *Never* in her life, with all of her experiences, had she felt such raw power radiate from one person before. What was worse was that she didn't see his face, for all she knew it could have been Goku. (Yeah, right!)

Suddenly a warm hand touched her shoulder; she froze. "What were you dreaming about?" a cool voice asked. She jumped up and got into a fighting stance, prepared to fight the intruder. When she saw that it was only Vegeta she relaxed and sat down again. "Vegeta? Why are you in here? Where you deliberately trying to scare me senseless or is coming into girls' bedrooms just a hobby of yours?" Vegeta just rolled his eyes saying, "Your getting off of the subject woman."

"Why are you so interested in my dreams anyway?"

"Enough with the questions and just tell me what you dreamed about," he demanded getting impatient. He knew that her dreams were often premonitions and if she woke up like that then it wasn't good.

"No I don't think that it's any of your business," she half said in irritation, half in a challenge.

"I have ways of making you tell me," he said getting the hint.

"*Really*?" she said sarcastically.

In a blink of an eye she was laying down on the bed, pinned. Her hands were above her head held together by a strong hand. Vegeta's other hand, she soon found, was moving some of the stray bangs that obscured her vision. She held her breath as his hand began to trace the sides of her face. He finally spoke when his fingers were slowly moving across her lips, "Now are you going to tell me, or am I just going to have to force the answer out?" She just glared at him knowing that this was partially her fault.

"And just what are you planning to do? Kill me?" she taunted not being able to resist flirting.

"No. Something more painful." When she just raised an eyebrow he continued, "Last chance, you can either confess or suffer my wrath."

She got this smirk that mirrored his own, "*Please.* I can take anything that you can dish out, so give me your best shot!"

The hand that was resting on her lips moved down to rest on her stomach. Slowly, every so slowly he began to tickle her. His onslaught continued even when she squirmed from his touch. "You wouldn't want to wake up Bulma with all your screaming now would you?" he taunted.

"Veg..eta! Sto..op! You..'re being abs..olute…ly evil! Sto..op! Pl..le..ase?" He watched her squirm beneath his hold. This is too fun! he thought as an evil smirk crossed his face. "I thought you said you could take it?" he mocked.

The goddess below him just glared as he resumed his form of torture. "Pl..eease Veg..eta! I'll do an..ythi..ng! Jus..t STO…P!!" He stopped again and looked at her very amused. "Anything? I think I'll hold you to that."

Knowing that he wasn't going to tickle her again she struggled even harder, but he was too heavy. All that muscle just couldn't be lifted by a girl that weighed around something equivalent to a feature. He smirked when her attempts at getting free failed. She couldn't move, leaving her at the mercy of his torture, and both of them knew it.

"Ugh, get off of me Vegeta!" This just caused him to smirk more, "Not until you tell me." She rolled her eyes and turned her head away, in an attempt to ignore him. Which was pretty hard considering that the man that she liked was basically sitting on top of her. She suddenly felt just how close they were. The warm breath that traveled across her neck caused her to shudder involuntarily. "I'm going to stay here until you tell me," Vegeta's now husky voice whispered. Leaning in closer his lips were 'almost' touching her cheek.

Being so caught up in the moment failed to hear the footsteps that were coming down the hall. He only noticed that something was there when the door opened. Bulma stood there shocked at the scene that played before her.

******************(Sorry, but I couldn't resist)************************

Bulma woke up to screaming from upstairs. Fearing for Serena's life she scurried out of bed and ran to Vegeta's room, in nothing but her nightgown. Barging into the prince's room, she prayed that he wouldn't be too mad to help. The bed was empty and the covers were scattered around the room. There might have been a struggle, and that would mean that Vegeta may be hurt or unconscious. She broke from her thoughts as another scream echoed through the house.

Grabbing a baseball bat she slowly inched up the stairs to Serena's room. A bead of sweat slowly made it's way down the metal bat which was slipping in her clammy palms. She felt scared and weak, if only one of the guys were here they could handle this. The screams had stopped by the time she reached the door. Now she was *really* worried. The intruder might have silenced Serena…for good. As that final thought ran through her mind she threw open the door, bat raised.

She did *not* expect to find both Vegeta and Serena alive and well, much less almost kissing. Bulma was just shocked to find that Vegeta was 'laying' on top of her blue-eyed friend. At the light that entered the room both heads turned to look at the 'interruption'. When she saw Serena blush a deep crimson and Vegeta glare at her, she almost felt sorry for ruining the moment. "Well,…um..I thought I heard screaming and decided to check it out….but since you two are so *BUSY* I think I'll go get some more sleep. Don't worry I didn't see a thing." She was about to walk out of the door when she turned around and said, "Oh and Serena, have fun!" Bulma winked before closing the door.

************************************************************************

That comment from Bulma just made Serena blush deeper. When Vegeta turned to look at her again he found her staring at the comforter. She faced away from him, and he could still see a light blush across her cheeks. He cupped her cheek and gently turned her head so that they looked each other in the eye. His eyes studied her face and finally settled upon her lips. Longing filled his eyes as he unconsciously leaned down.

Their eyes drooped and grew hazy as Vegeta slowly inched forward. Serena felt his breath against her lips, right before he claimed them for his own. Their senses exploded in ecstasy, and a new feeling of belonging swept over them. The kiss was strangely gentle and she knew that he was restraining himself. Light filled her soul as the new sensation left butterflies in her stomach. They broke apart after a few minutes, breathing heavily.

Vegeta finally loosened his grip on her hands and watched as they reached up to cup his cheek. Serena sighed thinking of the consequences that this might cause, "Just go, and I'll tell you about my dream in the morning." He thought about this for a minute.

Lifting himself up he laid down beside her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and forced her head to rest against his chest. "No. I think that I'll stay here for the rest of the night." Your not disappearing, not while I'm here. Vegeta thought to himself. Serena would have disagreed, but something stopped her. Whether it was the warmth of his arms or the gentle beating of his heart that forced her back into her dreams we will never know.

Vegeta looked down when he noticed her breathing had slowed. Reaching up he brushed away some stray bangs that framed her face. While feeling her familiar weight in his arms he too fell into a blissful sleep.

************************************************************************

~~~~The next morning….~~~~

************************************************************************

Serena groggily opened her eyes only to be met with the blurry outline of the ceiling. After blinking a couple of times everything finally came into focus. It was considerably lighter outside, she wondered how long she overslept. She reached up to rub her eyes, but found that she couldn't move. Looking down, shocked, she found a muscular arm lazily slung over her. Suddenly a strange feeling of de-ja-vu washed over her. Her vision was replaced by a small flashback.

Leaning up slightly she looked beyond the arm and was almost disappointed when she didn't see a tail. What am I thinking? Of course he doesn't have a tail…Wait a minute 'HE?!' Turning to her left she saw a sleeping Saiyajin prince. What was *I* on last night? she asked herself. Looking closer she softened at the scene. His hair was still defying gravity but it was slightly tousled. His face was turned towards her; resting against the edge of the pillow. His lips were slightly parted as he breathed in the scent of her. His gentle breath brushed against her cheek. She stayed still both as not to disturb his peaceful slumber and to study his once in a life time peaceful face; memorizing it.

After a couple of minutes she started to get up. Her movement must have disrupted something in his dream as he just held her tighter and buried his head through her hair to rest on her shoulder. What am I? A teddy bear? she thought. Trying to get up seemed to be more of a challenge. It became increasingly frustrating when she found that she couldn't move. Looking back at Vegeta her eyes were once again drawn to his slightly parted lips. If it's the only way that will get me free…

She leaned forward and brushed her lips against his, they were warm from his breath. Almost immediately his arms fell slack and offered her freedom. Glancing back one last time she saw a small smile tug at the sides of his mouth. With one quick movement she lifted his muscled arm from around her waist and sat up. Just as she was about to stand she heard, "So what was your dream about? It is morning."

Sighing she turned around slipped under the sheets once again. She leaned back on her pillows and stole a glance at him. He was propped up on his elbow as he looked at her expectantly. Her eyes traveled to her hands as she retold the events in her dream. Tears welled up in her eyes and he moved over to wrap his arms around her shoulders. She told him of all the events that lead up to him finding her. Pluto's betrayal, being thrown off a cliff, she told him about all of her flashbacks and how he was in all of them. By the end she was crying into his chest with his arms wrapped around her. All the tears of frustration and confusion leaked out of her at that moment.

When her sobs were reduced to sniffles, Vegeta still rocked, smoothing her hair down. She just laid there, seeking comfort from the person that most people believed to be heartless. "Arigatou, Vegeta. It means a lot to me that you stayed to listen," she said while staring down at the floor. He pulled away slightly and studied her. Grabbing her chin he smirked at her surprised face. "You're welcome," was all that was heard as he brushed her lips with his. A small wave of shivers raced down her back as she felt his lips flutter across hers. Never had she felt this way about any man before.

Serena was blushing like a cherry, and Vegeta just leaned back smirking in triumph. Kami, Sere, you should at least *try* to play hard to get! her Luna-sounding conscience scolded. She laughed at that, it was true she hadn't even known Vegeta for one day, and they had already slept together AND she had told him about her dreams; which she had never told *anyone* before, not even Luna. She collapsed in fits of laughter. Vegeta just looked at her like she was crazy. "What are you laughing at?" he demanded. "Nothing!" she responded in a singsong voice.

She got up to leave hearing Vegeta mumble something about, "Women" and their "mood swings" She just turned around and stuck her tongue out at him, 'oh so maturely', before skipping out the door.

He just humphed, but smiled at her mirth. That kiss had just made his day.

************************************************************************

Serena was skipping down the hallways and made her way to the stairs. She heard voices and became curious. Gracefully gliding down the last few stairs she saw the Sons sitting and talking with Bulma and her family. She didn't make it two paces from the last stair before everyone had stopped talking and were staring at her, surprised.

Getting flustered Serena looked down at her feet, and saw what they were staring at. She was still in her pajamas, which consist of a torn, ragged T-shirt that covered about an inch more skin than her fuku did. She blushed and looked back up at them fire-engine red. With her hand behind her head she just kind of laughed nervously while slowly backing towards the stairs.

Bulma just sighed, "Serena, I'm going to take you shopping later today. We can't just have you walking around half nude all the time can we?" At that moment Vegeta came down the stairs yawning. Well, I wouldn't mind. he thought while smirking at the mental images *that* brought up (Ecchi Vegeta!! Bad!).

Goku, noticed that Vegeta walked down 'right after' Serena got down, and he thought it was more than a coincidence. "So Vegeta, where have *you* been?" Goku asked eyeing him curiously. Bulma, who had been leading Serena out of the room to some cloths, head shot up and grinned at Vegeta.

"You, baka, what does it look like I was doing? I sleep too you know."

"Uh huh. But didn't you say that a Saiyajin prince was too good for sleep?"

"Shut up Kakkarot."

Goku got this little grin on his face as he gazed knowingly at his frustrated friend.

~~~~~~30 minutes later….~~~~~~~~~~~

Serena walked down stairs and into the kitchen dressed in some of Bulma's clothes. She soon joined in their conversation about the big shopping trip they had planned. Chichi wisely said that while on their *major* shopping spree, they didn't want to get stuck with carrying all of the bags. She said that they should get one of the guys to go with them.

Vegeta chose that moment to walk in and get a *snack.* After stuffing his face full of various foods, and stealing a quick glance at Serena, he left the silent women to go train. Smiling evilly Bulma and Chichi glanced at each other before all eyes turned to Serena. "What?!" she shouted in confusion.

"Oh come on Serena! We all know that he likes you!" they shouted simultaneously. She put her hand behind her head and giggled a little, "*Really?*" she sarcastically.

"Tell you what Sere-chan. If you can convince Vegeta to go with us, then I'll buy you a new car. Whatever kind you want," Bulma offered.

"Really?!" Serena asked in disbelief. When Bulma nodded in response, she got this mischievous glint in her eyes. "I'll be back in a sec." Turning on her heel she marched out in search for a certain Saiyajin prince.

Serena looked all around the house, having to back track when she got lost. Her hopes drained with each step she took, until she heard these weird banging sounds coming from down the hall. The letters 'GR' were printed across the front of the door she was standing in front of. The door was silent as she turned the knob and entered the room.

************************************************************************

Why the hell can't I concentrate?! he berated himself as another hovering robot shot him down. An image of a breath-taking blond filled his vision. She's changed so much. This must of been what she was like before she was sent to all of those planets. Why can't she remember? How can I even begin to help her with her memories? There's always the Dragonballs. he mentally sighed, So many questions. A blast from the nearby robot brought him back to reality. Sighing again, he pushed the blond megami out of his thoughts as he focused on the battle.

************************************************************************

A strange feeling swept over her as she silently entered the room. A flash of light brought her attention to the battle taking place a few feet from the ceiling. She found Vegeta launching numerous ki blasts at the droids while they created shields to protect themselves. Serena continued to watch as Vegeta flew in for a hand-to-hand assault. All thoughts of her brand new car vanished from her mind as she noticed the almost royal way he commanded his movements. His muscular form dodged, and swayed to a graceful dance. The way he glided through the air in nothing but spandex, made her blush like hell. The way he fought, the rhythm of his movements, seemed to stick out in her mind. Something felt familiar about the way he fought.

She had never felt so carefree and nervous around anyone in her entire life. In truth Vegeta intrigued her. He was so cold and shut out from others, and yet so gentle and caring around her. When the last droid was toast he suddenly turned to face her.

************************************************************************

Vegeta's face lit up in surprise as the same girl that he had been thinking about stood before him. He stared at her in shock. After a moment, he emerged from his disbelief and said rather bluntly, "Your standing up."

"Well, yeah, that's kind of what people do."

Shaking his head he said, "But your standing in 250x Earth's normal gravity." She blinked a couple of times, "Really? I knew I felt something weird when I walked in this room." Vegeta thought, It must have been all of those planets she traveled to. I remember her telling me that they were hard to live on.

Serena was still in awe at the way he fought. Again a wave of familiarity washed over her, "Why does your style of fighting seem so familiar to me?"

"Before you lost your memory you knew how to fight like that. You even taught me a few moves."

She just stared at him in disbelief. Now, more than ever, she wished that she had her memories again. "What are you doing in here anyway?" Serena shook herself from her thoughtful revere as she remembered why she was here in the first place. Here it goes. she thought as she turned on the waterworks. It had always worked with Andrew and Darien, why wouldn't it work now?

************************************************************************

Her eyes grew twice their normal size and became watery, begging him for something. It kind of scared him. "Vegeta, I need to ask a favor."

He was *almost* afraid to ask, "What kind of a favor?"

If even possible her eyes got even bigger, "Well, the girls and I wanted to test your strength. Umm… You see we want to see if a *big* *strong* man could helps us carry some things. We didn't want to have to carry all these heavy things and we thought that maybe you or Goku could help us. Since you're *obviously* the strongest man in the whole worl—I mean universe, we wanted to ask you first," she continued to play with his pride. As each flatter-rich comments reached his ears, his pride grew. She had to muffle her laughter when he swelled up and rubbed his fingernails against the spandex on his chest.

"Well, I guess I could squeeze this into my busy schedule, but you owe me," he said with this mischievous glint in his eyes. It went unnoticed by the ecstatic blond as she ran up and gave him a big bear hug. She quickly brushed her lips against his before heading towards the door. "Yes, yes, yes!!" she said to herself. "A brand new car for free, awesome!" she muttered under her breathe as she walked out the door.

Vegeta became confused when he heard her self-talk. Oh, no! What has my stupid pride gotten me into now?

************************************************************************

Serena walked—more like skipped—back into the kitchen with a huge grin plastered on her face. "A certain Saiyajin prince is going shopping! Dude where's my car?" (hehe, major pun intended) The women just cheered and congratulated her. They talked for a few minutes and decided to go get ready. They finally emerged from the kitchen, only to run into Vegeta outside the door. One look at him set their minds in a panic. Bulma shouted, "There is *no* way on Kami's green Earth are you wearing spandex in public!" He looked at her like she was the dumbest person alive, "And why not?"

"Tsk, tsk Vegeta you should know better," Chichi scolded him like a child. Bulma and Chichi soon left; trusting that Serena would handle the problem. "Vegeta where is your bedroom?" she asked eyeing the stairs. This brought him out of his stupor, "Umm… I don't that this is the time or place to get into that," he stated a little uncomfortably. Serena turned sharply and glared at him before shouting, "You hentai! You PERVERT! I just wanted to help you pick out some clothes, but since your one track mind can't even point me in the right direction then I shouldn't even bother!" she yelled at him obviously offended.

"Oh."

Serena just sweatdropped as she followed him up the stairs and into his room. Making her way to his dresser, she looked through all of its contents. Her face fell as everything she came across was black and blue spandex. I wouldn't be surprised if his underwear was even spandex, she chuckled at the thought. She felt like crying when it seemed that he would *have* to wear spandex.

Looking up she saw it. Her Disguise Pen was laying on the dresser, It must have been where he put it after he stole it. A sly smirk made its way to her face as she grabbed it and turned around. I'll teach him not to steal this again. "Problem solved," she said holding up her pen. His eyes got wide as his gaze fell upon the magical pen. He lunged forward and grabbed her wrist.

As his warm callused fingers wrapped around her slim wrist, the couple was enveloped in a blinding light. When they could see again Vegeta stood in a smoky gray over-shirt that was buttoned at the last four buttons. The tight white undershirt, that showed off his muscular build, was peeking out from underneath. He wore dark blue blue-jeans with a dark brown belt and some army boots. The most unusual thing about him though was his hair. It no longer defied gravity, but instead, fell around his shoulders. It was held back by a black band that blended in with his hair. Two pieces of hair were left down from the ponytail, and now dangled freely in his face. (Basically think of Trunks' hair style only black) He looked civilized for once.

Serena wore tight halter top and shorts that reached her mid-thigh; both were black. A silver chain with an upturned crescent moon in the center adorned her neck. The silver jewelry brought out her hair that looked as silver as a star. Two pieces of hair were braided and pulled around her hair to meet a bun. (I'm having a hard time describing this, so just think of Sailor Pluto and Relena's {from Gundam Wing} hair and mix the two together.) Her hair brushed against her ankles as she turned to a stunned Vegeta.

Serena put the pen in her sub-dimensional pocket before she grabbed his hand and rushed out the door. She still gripped his hand as she flew down the stairs and met up with Bulma, Chichi, and Goku.

Goku stared at the black-haired man that had just entered the room. "Umm….Serena where's Vegeta?"

"Kakarot, you dumb ass!" Vegeta shouted indignantly.

"Vegeta? Oh My God!! You shrunk!" he said almost going hysterical.

At that comment everyone (excluding Vegeta) burst out laughing. When everyone regained their composer they said their good-byes. Bluma and Chichi eyed the couples interlocked hands before smirking and heading to the air car.

Vegeta and Serena hopped in the back while Bulma sat at the wheel with Chichi on her right. "Ummm…Where are we going?" Vegeta asked to no one in particular. Bulma and Chichi chuckled,

"You didn't even tell him Serena?!" they said accusingly.

"I didn't need to! He already agreed to go before I got a chance."

"What the hell are you onnas talking about?!" Vegeta shouted getting frustrated by being excluded from the conversation.

"SHOPPING!!" Chichi shouted, making it sound more like a war cry then a word.

"WHAT?!?!" Vegeta screamed in just the same tone of voice.

Serena couldn't help it anymore, she burst with laughter. Tears of mirth were streaming down her face, as she leaned on Vegeta for support. When she finally got control of herself her head still lay against his shoulder. She saw that even if she wanted to move she wouldn't have been able to. During her little outburst Vegeta had slipped an arm around her waist and held her at his side. Seeing the two's position Bulma said, "We can sit back and relax for a while, it's going to take us about an hour to get to the mall."

"But Bulma it only takes fifte—" Chichi was cut short by Bulma's hand covering her mouth. Bulma motioned for Chichi to look in the mirror at the couple in the back seat. When Chichi saw them she softened and said, "Well traffic seems to be *really* bad today. It might even take *two* hours." They lied for their wasn't even a car on the road. The two women chuckled to themselves as they noticed the faint nods that they got in answer.

Bulma was just determined to get them hooked up. She might still have a little crush on the vegetable head, she might even be jealous, but she knew that he would never return her feelings. Serena didn't deserve any hard feelings from her, so she decided to help Cupid shoot his arrows of love. Taking the scenic route to the mall was the first step.

Serena, still a little tired, brought her knees up on the seat and cuddled up beside Vegeta. She used his shoulder as a pillow as she fell into a blissful sleep. Seeing that his megami was asleep Vegeta levered her into his lap. Serena wiggled to find a comfortable spot in the new position. Her left arm wrapped around his waist while her other arm snaked up his chest to clutch onto his shoulder. She buried her head underneath his chin and fell back into oblivion.

Vegeta in turn wrapped his arms around her small form, and buried his hands in her endless waterfall of hair. He rested his head against hers before falling into a peaceful slumber.

***************1 hour later*********************************************

A sudden jolt from the car forced him awake. Vegeta slowly cracked his eyelids and took in his surroundings. The back of the driver's seat is what came into view first. He could hear two women talking quietly. His mind was rather sluggish and didn't bother with trying to figure out who was speaking. After blinking a couple of times he noticed a weight in his arms.

Looking down he sighed as the sight of his goddess met him. The long strands of silver/blond hair had come down from her hairstyle and covered part of her face. He reached up and brushed them behind her ear and looked at her again. Her eyelashes rested against her cheeks and were partly covered by some stray bangs. Her lips were parted ever so slightly as her gentle breath washed over him.

Smiling slightly he bent down and brushed his lips over Serena's. For a second he breathed her breathe and tasted the sweet sensation of her once again. He pulled back from the sleeping megami, still smirking. He was so caught up in the moment that he failed to realize that the two women up front had fallen silent, and were now gazing at him.

Growing tired once again, he laid down pulling Serena with him. She grumbled in protest at the sudden movement from her cushion. Vegeta watched as she squirm a little bit, very amused. She made various sounds of protest as she lost her heat source. She was making whining in her throat, almost begging him to come back. Vegeta smirked as he wrapped an arm around her, pulling her against his body. She smiled in her sleep having found him again. Serena squirmed some more, trying desperately to find a comfortable spot.

She wrapped one of her arms around his waist, and let the other one find his free hand. Serena snuggled up against his warm body, as she fell back into a peaceful sleep. Vegeta was slightly propped up against the car door and the seat. His left arm was wrapped around his goddess bringing her close to his chest. His other hand held hers as he gazed at her for a few minutes. His thumb was moving back and forth against her delicate skin. He watched her sleep until he too drifted off once more.

A chorus of sighs was heard from Bulma and Chichi; for they had been watching the entire time. They were in a small state of shock, after all, who would have thought the cold hearted prince could have ever been so sweet?

***************1 hour later*********************************************

Bulma and Chichi pulled into the parking lot of the mall. The mall was crowded—as usual—and it took them awhile to find a parking space. While the two 'lovebirds' slept they discussed different ways they could get them together. After about an hour they concluded that the mall trip was going to be quite interesting. As the purr of the engine halted they turned around and found the cutest scene.

The sleeping couple was still laying down, but were positioned differently. Vegeta must have turned over in his sleep, because he was now half on top of Serena. His head rested on her shoulder; his lips just millimeters from her neck. His arms were wrapped protectively around her, cradling her sleeping form. Sometime during the trip they must have decided to play footsy, because their feet were tangled together.

Chichi turned to her best friend with an evil smirk on her face. She just had a brilliant idea and quickly decided to tell Bulma. As soon as she was done the two women stared back at the adorable scene. They leaned forward and gently shook Serena awake, being extra careful as to not wake the Saiyajin prince too.

************************************************************************

Serena woke to the gentle shaking of her body. Before she even opened her eyes she felt a strange weight on her left side. When her eyes finally opened the shaking ceased. She stared to her left, right above her, at the man she had found herself waking up to a lot recently. Her eyes softened a moment before she slightly turned to her right to stare at her new friends. 'Help me!' she mouthed to them. She was trapped beneath the prince. It took all of the two women's will not to burst out laughing at the pitiful sight that Serena made. They shook their heads as evil smirks crossed their faces.

Serena glared back at them and mouthed, 'Some friends!' They were shaking from their inner laughter that begged to be vented. Serena just ignored their red faces and concentrated on getting free. She blushed when she examined their positions. If I can get his arms from out around me then I can just slide out from under him! she thought while looking at his muscular arm. Easier said than done.

The arm that was slung over her pinned both of her arms to her body. She slowly lifted her arms, which in turn lifted his arm. He grumbled in protest and tightened his grip on her, pulling her closer. His lips were now touching her neck, and her silvery blond hair tickled his face. She held even more still, hoping that he would release her soon. She remembered the last time she had this problem and how she got out of it. She didn't want to kiss him in front of Bulma and Chichi, but she didn't know what other choice she had. Looking down she noticed that that would be impossible, because she couldn't move even that slightest bit. Serena sighed it seemed that she was going to be stuck like this until he decided that he would wake up.

Vegeta emerged from his peaceful dreams when he felt something tickling his face. He was about to ignore it and go back to sleep when he noticed two things. As he went to lick his lips he tasted something sweet, and when he heard a sigh he finally began to wake.

When he opened his eyes he saw a silvery piece of blond hair touching his nose. His vision focused on the background and saw that he was tasting none other then his goddess' skin. Smirking he lightly nibbled on her neck and grinned even more when he received a gasp in response. Leaning forward he whispered airily in her ear, "I can't wait for the ride back." He could almost feel her blush. She shuddered against him and he just held her tighter.

Someone cleared their throat and brought the couple's attention back to the front of the car. "AAAAAWWWWWWW!!!! That's so cute! You two make the cutest couple!" both women screeched at the same time. Serena blushed like mad as she leaned against Vegeta's chest. She looked up at him and found that he was just smirking in satisfaction. They sat up and watched as the other women scampered out of the car.

Serena turned to Vegeta and grinned, "Now we get to go shopping!" She watched as he visibly paled. She just laughed and said, "Oh, come on Vegeta! It's not going to be *that* bad!" She pulled him closer to her and said, "Just think of this as pay back for your little comment." Grabbing his hand she dragged the scowling prince out of the car and into the mall. Bulma and Chichi just laughed as they followed. Yes, Serena and Vegeta would make a great couple, and yes, this was going to be interesting!
