It had been a couple of months after the battle with Frieza. Everyone was waiting for Goku to return. During that time, Bulma's old friend came to West City to relocate. Sno was a beautiful faerie, that's what Bulma always said. Sno was petite, a small 5'3, violet eyes and snow white hair. Her hair and eye color was uncommon among the humans of earth, even though she was also human. She had always been told that it was a birth defect. Sno also had musical talent; playing the violin.

Sno had gotten to know the protectors of Earth, so far, Piccolo was her favorite. Besides Bulma, of course. Sno lived on the outskirts of West City, but she spent the majority of her time at Capsule Corp with Bulma and Dr. Briefs. There was a certain Saiyan that she had a small crush on, he spent most of his time also at Capsule Corp in the gravity room.

Vegeta. The Prince of Saiyans.

She didn't understand why she had a crush on him. He was cross with Bulma, cross with a lot of people, actually. He was prideful, egotistical and entitled. But, for some reason, Vegeta was... somewhat nice to Sno. However, only when they were alone together, which wasn't all that often. Perhaps that was why she felt the way she did, because he wasn't as cross to her as everyone else. Maybe she felt special.

At the present moment, Sno and Bulma were in the lab. Bulma was working on some new invention, as always. And Sno was sitting off to the side, playing her violin. Bulma loved it when Sno played, she was so talented. Every note was a mesmerizing sound, the vibrato so very strong. Sno was playing a chipper song, helping Bulma move quickly.

"What is that noise!?" Vegeta's gruff voice echoed through the lab.

Sno and Bulma jumped, flinching at the sound of the violin hitting a sharp note.

"Ugh, Vegeta!" Bulma scorned. "You messed up the song!"

"What is that?" Vegeta asked Sno, ignoring Bulma completely.

"It's a violin," Sno said.

Her eyes held excitement and sincerity, she loved the violin with all her heart. Vegeta was curious about the noise maker, why she loved it so much. He kept it to himself, but he enjoyed the company of Sno. She was quiet, but also a firecracker when the time came to it. She wasn't annoying, like the blue haired pest.

"I can't concentrate with that noise filling the entire building," Vegeta huffed.

Sno nodded, and set down her violin and bow. She knew Vegeta wanted nothing more than to train.

"No, don't stop playing! Just ignore him," Bulma whined.

"It's alright, B. I have to get home, anyway," Sno smiled reassuringly.

Bulma looked unconvinced, but she nodded in agreement, anyway.

Sno left the lab happily, a little skip in her step. Vegeta scoffed, he had no idea why she was so happy all the time.

"I can't believe you don't like her music," Bulma snapped at Vegeta.

"It's just noise," Vegeta said, uninterested in speaking to Bulma.

"That's because you haven't actually listened to it. She plays so beautifully," Bulma sighed dreamily.

Vegeta rolled his eyes and walked off, back to the gravity room. However, he did take her words into account. He hasn't actually stopped and listened to the music. Maybe he would one day.

Sno walked home, it was definitely far, but she enjoyed the walk in nature. The walk was an hour long, and she had almost made it home. Just another 20 minutes. As she walked through the forest, birds and other little critters scurried along. She came to a large pond, a few lily pads were scattered about. She set down her violin case and pulled out her instrument. She started to play, leaning into the music. Her sounds carried with the wind, matching the sounds of the birds. The beautiful music filled the small clearing, bouncing off the face of the water. Once the song was finished, a voice startled her out of her post music high.

"That was very nice."

Sno gasped, and whirled to the voice. There stood Piccolo, a pleasant smile on his green face.

"Oh, thank you, Piccolo!" Sno grinned. "What are you doing out here?"

"Well, I was meditating when I heard you playing," Piccolo briefed.

"Oh, did I disturb you? I'm sorry," Sno frowned.

"Its quite alright, Sno. I enjoy your music."

"At least a few of you do," she muttered.

Piccolo knitted his eyebrows together. "What do you mean?"

"I don't think Vegeta likes my playing," Sno confessed. "He called it noise."

Piccolo nodded in realization. "Don't take it personally. He doesn't like anything."

"He likes training," Sno grinned.

Piccolo chuckled. "That he does."

"Well, I was just heading home. Care to walk with me?" Sno suggested, since it was starting to get dark.

"Of course," he agreed.

As they walked to Sno's house, they continued to talk. They spoke about her music, an upcoming performance and how she got home. Piccolo wasn't very happy when he found out that she had walked.

"You walked from West city?" Piccolo asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Piccolo. I walked," Sno sighed heavily.

Sno opened her front door, letting herself and Piccolo inside. Piccolo had been in her home just a couple times, but each time he's slightly amazed. She hoarded plants, and she always seemed to have more whenever he came.

"Its dangerous for you walk that distance alone. What if you had been hurt? There are ruffians out there-"

"Did you seriously just use the word 'ruffians'?" Sno giggled. "That's adorable."

Piccolo stared at her, crossing his arms.

"Alright, fine," Sno rolled her eyes. "Maybe it wasn't the best idea I've had."

Piccolo sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He still couldn't believe how stubborn she was. She was pure, and he was afraid that she would be harmed. He cared about her, like he cared for Gohan.

"Do you plan on going back?"

"Yes, tomorrow," Sno confirmed.

"At least, let me take you," Piccolo suggested.

Sno raised her brows indecorously. "You're going to carry me there."

"Yes," he stated.

She stared at him for a moment. She could tell the he wasn't going to let it go.

Sno sighed. "Fine."

Piccolo nodded. "Good."

He then walked out and shot up into the air. The nemekian didn't even close the door. Sno ran outside and shouted up to the sky.

"You could at least close the door!"

She heard a sharp laugh faintly from above. Sno grinned and went back inside, closing the door.
