Vegeta and Sno grew closer over the next year. It was painfully obvious that the two of them had feelings for each other, but neither of them acted on it. They were happy with the way things were. Putting a label on it would just make things difficult. There had been five different times where they almost kissed, but lo and behold, they were always interrupted. Especially, by Bulma.

Vegeta had spent the majority of his time training. He appreciated that Sno was understanding about his need to train. She knew that his goal was to get stronger than Goku. She urged him to keep training, even when he would get angry about his lack of progress. It was nearing the one year mark of when they were warned about the androids. Vegeta and Sno were in the Wastelands, she was learning how to fly.

"Good! Now, focus your ki," Vegeta bellowed.

Sno was doing okay, she was still having trouble floating for more than two minutes. Sno grumbled. Vegeta hovered just below her, circling every now and then. Sno was just about to pass the two minute mark when her concentration faltered for just a moment. She plummeted down, gasping. Vegeta was there in an instant, catching her easily. Only this time, he caught her by her waist, where she faced him. She held onto to him tightly, smiling softly as he floated down to the ground. Sno didn't let go when they touched ground, she wanted to be held.

Vegeta happily obliged, his arms snaking around her body. As he gazed into her violet eyes, he realized something. They were finally, completely alone. Vegeta tightened his grip. He hastily argued with himself, there was no telling when the next time was he'd have this opportunity.

Come on! Don't wimp out now, just do it, he yelled at himself.

Before his mind could even register what his body was doing, he had leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. Finally! The kiss was simple, but also sensual. Not lasting more than five seconds. He pulled away gently, resting his forehead on hers. Sno smiled brightly, then kissed him again.

Vegeta and Sno continued to train on flying until the sun set. Sno was exhausted, swaying gently as she stood. Vegeta appeared beside her and swept her up. He flew to her house, her falling asleep in his arms. After a twenty minute flight, he touched the ground in fron of her house.

Hm. Deja vu, he grinned to himself. Once again, Vegeta carried Sno to her bed and tucked her in. He seemed to be carrying her to bed a lot lately, but it made him smile. He then left her to sleep, locking her front door behind him.

After arriving at Capsule Corp, he was bombarded by Bulma.

"How did Sno's training go?"

"Fine. She's doing well," he gruffed, immediately remembering their kiss.

Bulma studied his face. His cheeks were pink, he had a small permanent smile.

"You finally did it, didn't you?" Bulma grinned.

Vegeta frowned. "What?"

"You kissed her, didn't you?"

Vegeta's eyes went wide as he stuttered. "What? I, no, don't be ridiculous."

Bulma laughed. "You did!"

Vegeta scoffed and stomped away. How did she know? Was she spying on them? He didn't let it bother him that much, though. His mind kept wandering back to the kiss. He slept peacefully that night.

Sno was at home, tidying up the kitchen. It had been another two years since they received the warning about the androids. Only one year left until they showed up. Vegeta had been gone for a long time. Nearly a year ago, he went to space to train. Sno was devastated that he would be gone for so long, but she saw him off. She kissed him goodbye, long and sensual, to make sure he would come back for more. Sno continued her musical career. She continued to play in the Annual Ballet Recital every year, played gigs almost every weekend and was even offered a spot in the West City Orchestra.

As she cleaned the kitchen, she hummed the tunes to her songs. She twirled about, the skirt of her dress fanning out gracefully.

"Sno," a deep voice called out.

Sno stopped upon hearing Vegeta's voice. Her heart lurched and she whirled around to find him. There he stood, but he looked different, stronger. His hair was blond, and his eyes were piercing green.

"Vegeta?" Sno whispered.

"Hey," he said in a husky voice.

"You did it!" she declared, running up to him.

Vegeta caught her in his arms, chuckling at her enthusiasm. He buried his face in her hair, breathing in her scent. He'd missed her so much. His time in space gave him a plethora of opportunities to think about his feelings for Sno. He knows that they have gotten a lot stronger over the last three years. In fact, Sno is what kept him going near the end. He had given up, on his knees, ready to be pummeled to death by the planet's raining boulders. Just one thought of Sno is what broke the barrier, with him finally transforming into Super Saiyan.

As Vegeta gazed into her violet eyes, he played around with the word 'love'. Love was not something that interested him in the slightest in the first years of him living on earth. Now, it was something that was slightly more interesting. He knew that they shared a bond, which was rare in the Saiyan race. Especially, a familial bond. That alone made him feel like she was the one. He knew that he'd do anything for her, he would protect her with his life. He had promised her mother that three and a half years ago. Maybe he was in love with her. And that made their bond two times stronger.

"I have good news," Sno smiled.

"And what's that?" Vegeta grinned, running his hands casually through her hair.

"I got offered a spot in the West City Orchestra," Sno started to bounce.

Vegeta's eyes widened slightly. "Are you serious?"

Sno nodded excitedly, then started giggling when Vegeta picked her up and twirled her around. Vegeta planted a kiss on her lips.

"I hope you took it," he smiled.

"I will tomorrow."

Vegeta frowned. "Did you not accept?"

"I told them I had to wait for someone, they were very understanding."

Sno smiled at the shock that reflected off Vegeta's face. Silly, man. Did he expect anything less? He set her down, resting his hand on the side of her face.

"You didn't have to wait for me."

Sno shrugged, smiling.

They finished out the night by laying in bed together. They talked about going to see Bulma tomorrow, then they both drifted to sleep.
