Recap: And suddenly, a loud harsh yell could be heard. "What do you want, woman?" Serena stepped onto the platform and walked into the pod. She looked at Vegeta shyly, who had stopped in his tracks. His mouth hung open as he reached around, trying to find something to stop his fall. Finally, he caught his balance and stood there, staring at Serena. He as unable to comprehend the fact that Serena stood right in front of him.

Serena simply stood there, waiting for the shock to wear off; waiting for him to make the first move.

Chapter 4: To Love Again

Serena continued to stand there, staring at Vegeta's sleek physique. She could definitely tell that he worked out. A lot.

And suddenly, from the very corner of her eye, Serena saw Vegeta coming towards her, slowly; painfully.

He reached out and touched her pale arm, feeling its softness on his rough fingers. He lifted his hand ever so slightly, making Serena worry that he would grab her chest, but he didn't even seem to notice her breasts. His hand slipped upwards to her face and caressed it lightly while Serena looked into his shadowy charcoal eyes.

Without warning, Vegeta reached for a button and closed the door to the training pod. Serena swung around just as the door hit the bottom metallic frame with a boom. Serena's heart raced as she spun around aimlessly, knowing that the worst had come; he was going to hurt her.

Vegeta lifted his hand again towards her face and Serena pulled away. Her eyes had become almost slits as she gazed angrily at him. "What are you going to do?" Serena's heart still beat furiously in her chest, almost exploding when Vegeta began to walk towards her. He moved his hand ever so slowly towards her neck and touched it lightly, and then, reached up and touched her face again, the complete opposite of what Serena had expected him to do.

Serena looked up at Vegeta again and stared into the obscurities that were his eyes and saw the gentlest look in them. He almost looked like a child, trying desperately to comfort his crying mother.

Serena felt a strong hand land on her hip and pull her towards him so that their noses almost touched. Everything was silent as Serena closed her eyes and listened to their breathing intertwine.

"Why are you here?" Vegeta bitterly interrupted the comfortable silence.

Serena, taken aback by the question, opened up her mouth to speak, but found that she was speechless. She had prepared a whole big lecture on why she had arrived on such short notice and what she planned to do, but everything escaped her mind. She couldn't think, being so close to a loved stranger. She opened her mouth again, hoping that something would just pop into her mind, but only a little squeak escaped her pink lips.

Serena looked at Vegeta again, whose eyes were expecting this explanation from the never-forgotten memory. And the only thing she could think to do was hug into him, and so, she did.

Vegeta stood boggled by the new position he seemed to be in. But to Serena, it seemed right. It seemed right… Serena hadn't used that phrase in such a long time. The concept actually seemed foreign to her. She couldn't even believe it.

Vegeta seemed content enough, Serena realized, because he had actually started to relax a little. And wrapped his strong arms around her waist and simply held her in the sweet surrender.

"I could spend forever like this; in this…" Vgeta searched for a metaphor. "This…wonderland we've created." Serena only hugged tighter into him.

Vegeta's mouth very close to her ear, and whispered, "I'm in-love with you."

Serena's eyes widened, shocked by the latest admission.

Ok y'all, what do you think? This is the end…For now!
