Chapter 9

Vegeta

Damn, the girl looks like her mother just died. "What the hell is wrong with you girl? Did your pretty Endymion just married that Mars girl?".
She smiles at me sadly with those blue eyes filled with tears.

Usagi

Dinner was a horror. It was very uncomfortable. Afterwards mother and Queen Vegeta had another one their private talk. Vegeta looks at me and towards to my room. I know that means he wants me to follow him.
Once the guards sees him they moved out of the way quickly. I sat on the silky bed while he garbs my 178 pound pure silver chair and sat in front of me.
"You probably don't care about anything but your nails but I am going to tell you this whether you want to hear it or not " he said sternly.
What?! Me? Only caring about my nails? I wanted to slap him right there and then!
"It's not like my mother to marry me off so soon" I said sadly. "My mother always wanted me to have a romantic relationship with a prince-"
"I don't give a damn! To hell with all that stupid love stuff! We are talking about our planet!"
"You don't believe in love?!" I shouted.
He looks at me strangely and crossed his arms. "Love is only for fools".

I don't know why I fled and cried after he said that. Somewhere in my heart I did care for him. I wanted to believe he kissed me and meant it. I ran to the balcony. Bitter tears, I could taste them. Why am I crying like this? What in the moon made me even think that man had any heart to love? I hate him. Hate him. For... making me feel like this. I sob for a few more painful minutes. Hating myself for falling so foolishly in love.

Vegeta

I stand behind her and watched her cry. The stars shines on her. Something keeps me back from telling her how sorry I am. My pride. I stood helplessly and silently. It kills me to see her cry, her slender body shakes as she sob. I touch her right shoulder. Her sobbing stops and she looks at me with those blue eyes.

Usagi

He looks like a knight ready to save a princess under the moonlight. The kiss, my first kiss. It was nothing to him.
I gasp as he pulls me towards him. My face was shoved against his chest. He just holds me for the rest of the night.

* * * * *

Usagi

A lot of things has happened after that night. We are now friends. Well... maybe a little more.
We will take long walks to the moon garden. We would talk till dawn. Vegeta is a great listener. I felt I could tell him anything. If I had a problem, I would cry and he would hold me till I felt I would die happily in his arms. Vegeta is more open to me now. He would tell me things about himself more and more till I was sure I am in his personal life. Our date always ends with a kiss.
I now have a new view of Prince Endymion. He is like a brother to me. I heard he is courting Princess Mars. I am very happy for them both.

-The Talk-

"Vegeta walks around with a smile on his face all the time now. I haven't seen his smile like that since he was three" said Queen Vegeta.
Serenity looks at the floor sadly. "You know what we have to do Vegitina-"
"No... Serenity! Please! This is the only time Vegeta is happy! I know we have to think about your daughter but... Is there any other way?" Queen Vegeta plead. Tears streams down her face for she knows the answer.
Serenity cries too. Silver tears came down her beautiful face. "We'll give them some more time".

Serenity

It has been many moons since my daughter and Prince Vegeta has been courting. The end is coming soon and I know what I have to do. It kills me to know I must ruin my daughters happiness.

--------------------------------


Aphrodite hands Serenity the potion. "Serenity. Are you sure about this?"
Serenity takes it and held it against her heart. She nods.
Aphrodite, the queen of Venus and the goddess of love. "Pour this on her bed while she is asleep. The next morning, she will forget everything and her memory only goes back to the day before her 14th birthday"
Serenity held the potion up. "Will this also make her forget Prince Vegeta?"
Aphrodite nodded.

Serenity


I watched as Usagi and Prince Vegeta embrace and kiss. Vegeta walks her back to the moon palace.

Usagi is asleep when I entered her room. My only daughter. I opened the bottle and began to pour.
"Oh Vegeta...." Usagi whispers.
Thinking she was awake I put the potion down. She was sleep talking. She continues to confess her love for him and I knew I couldn't do it. Maybe some other day.

Vegeta

Something is happening to our planet. Freeza wants to take it over and my father cannot stop him.
Mother comes running towards me. "Vegeta! We must go! Your father has already gotten a ship. We are leaving tomorrow-"
Tomorrow? I cannot leave Usagi behind! I will ask her to come with me!
"Wait mother. I will be back" I said and quickly run off.
"Vegeta!!! NO!" I hear mother scream behind me.

Usagi

I see Vegeta running towards me. I smiles and blush. I dress in blue silk that matches my eyes today just for him because he always commented how much he likes my eye color. I stopped smiling when I noticed he looked mad and worried.
I ran towards him as fast as I could, not caring I will ruin my dress. "Vegeta?"

Vegeta

"Usagi!" I grabbed her and hugged her hard. Than remembering how fragile she was I let her go. Her blue eyes was full of worry. She does care.
"Oh Vegeta. What's wrong?" she ask with concern.
"Usagi. My planet is in danger and I have to go"
Usagi gasp and grabbed my arm. "No! You can't leave me here!"
I smiled and pulled her close again. Slowly stroking her silkily hair. "Of course I won't my princess. That's why I'm here. I want to ask you to join me. Will you? We could get marry and-"
She cuts me off by kissing me hard. It took me by surprise.
"Oh Vegeta! Marriage? I've always dreamed about this!"
We kissed again and I said something I was keeping in my heart for so long. "I love you".
"I love you too" she whispers. "I will go packing right now. Wait for me at the moon garden!"
"At dawn" I said and we embraced again. "I won't leave without you" I promised.
