The first time

Goku returned to find Usagi soaking in the water. Cleaning her wounds and trying to decrease the swelling with the cold water.

"He did hurt you," Goku said walking to the edge of the water.

"I'll be fine," Usagi said, flinching as she rubbed dried blood from her face. "I usually heal pretty quickly. It's the only way I survived through school all those years."

Goku removed his armor and got into the water with her. "I'm taking you away from here for a while."

Usagi looked at him, concern on her face. "Is Vegeta that upset with me?"

"It's not that. I don't want you around him for a while. When he gets like this, he is very hard to deal with. He doesn't know how to control himself." He wrapped the shaking girl in his arms. "He's not used to not getting what he wants; I don't want him to hurt you."

"Where will we go?" Usagi asked, burying her face in his warm chest.

"Somewhere we can rest." He pushed her away from him and looked into her eyes. "Finish up here. I'm going to go get some clothes and things for our journey." He leaned down and kissed her softly.

A few hours later Usagi and Goku were standing on a beautiful planet where the grass was pink. Colorful trees and flowers grew everywhere, and a gentle breeze sprinkled petals from the trees everywhere.

Usagi closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Smells like Cherry blossoms," she nearly sang.

Goku smiled and took her hand. "Come on." He took to the air and flew at a leisurely pace, Usagi beside him.

"Where are we?" Usagi questioned.

"This is the planet Kametic. The people here are called Kametians," Goku explained.

"Allana's home planet?" Usagi asked.

"Yes." Goku smiled at her.

They flew for a little while longer before landing in a medium sized town. He released her hand and began walking through the streets. The houses here were round and made of mostly natural materials it looked like.

Goku led them into a larger building. It was a shop; a craft shop if she was correct.

"Hey, Kamama, are you here?" Goku asked.

"Do my ears deceive me, or is that Goku I hear?" An elderly Kametian walked up from the back. Upon seeing Goku she smiled brightly. "It is you!" She walked around the counter and embraced the tall Saiyan.

"How are you?" Goku asked the elderly alien.

"I'm just fine," she replied. She backed away from the man and her eyes settled on Usagi. "Goku, who is your beautiful friend?"

"Kamama, this is Usagi, she's a Lunarian," Goku told her. "And a princess."

Kamama took Usagi's hand. "It's nice to meet you dear."

"The pleasure is all mine," Usagi said with a smile.

"What brings you here, young man?" Kamama asked Goku.

"Vacation."

Kamama laughed. "You don't know the meaning of the word. But I am glad you're here. You always seem to know when I'll need more supplies."

"That's why I'm here. I want to take Usagi hiking up the mountain, I figured I would see if you needed anything while we're up there," Goku admitted.

"You're always so thoughtful, unlike the rest of your race," Kamama stated. "I'll make a list of things I need. In the meantime, stop by and see Aria; she's been wanting to see you for quite some time." She hugged the man again and walked to the back of her shop.

"Do you come here often?" Usagi asked.

"I'll drop by every five years or so," Goku said. "The people here are very kind and don't like conflict. I came here once with Allana and gathered supplies for Kamama then, and I've been doing it ever since. This is a nice change from Planet Vegeta." He turned and walked into another building.

The girl behind the counter lit up the second she saw Goku. Placing the item in her hand on the desk, she practically flew into the Saiyan's arms. "Goku!" She buried her face in his chest.

"Hello Aria," Goku said with a chuckle.

"I've missed you," Aria said, still holding onto the man.

Usagi examined the girl. She was very pretty, her eyes were a beautiful purple, that accented her lavender skin color, her eyelashes were long and she appeared to be wearing makeup of some sort. The Kametians didn't have hair, but they did have antennae. Usagi smiled as Aria appeared to melt into Goku's arms and closed her eyes. This girl was in love with Goku, Usagi could tell.

Aria opened her eyes and saw Usagi for the first time. "Who is that?" Her voice was harsh.

Goku backed out of the hug and walked over to Usagi. "This is my dear friend, Usagi." He placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Dear friend?" Aria asked examining the blonde in front of her.

Goku looked down at Usagi and smiled, his eyes meeting hers. "Yeah."

"Oh," Aria said. "What took you so long to come back?" She asked walking up to Goku and taking his hand, leading him over to the counter.

"I've been busy," Goku replied.

"Too busy to visit me? It's been 15 years, Goku," the woman scolded.

Goku rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry, Aria."

"You better be," she said walking behind the counter. "Are you going to collect supplies for Kamama?"

"Yeah."

"You'll need some baskets then?"

"Yes."

Aria disappeared into the back and came back with two large baskets. "Will you need anything else?"

"Camping supplies," Goku responded.

"Camping supplies?" Usagi and Aria asked simultaneously.

Goku smiled. "Yeah."

"What for?" Usagi asked.

"We're going to hike up the mountain, remember," Goku said looking down at Usagi. "It takes a few days to do that."

"Can't you just fly up the mountain?" Aria asked.

"Yes, but that's not the point. Usagi and I are on vacation, and I want to enjoy it."

Aria glared at the Moon Princess. "Wouldn't you rather get the supplies quickly and come hang out with me?"

"Aria," Goku's voice got stern. "That's enough. Please just get me the things I need."

Aria pouted and walked into the back.

"She's in love with you," Usagi said.

"She got lost when she was little and nearly died. I found her and brought her here. Kamama took her in, but she has always had a thing for me," Goku explained. "But she's just a kid really."

"Goku, how old are you anyway?" Usagi had never asked the question. She was afraid to find out if she was older than him.

Goku looked down at her. "Does it really matter?"

Usagi blushed. "Not really, I just never asked, all the years I've been on Vegeta. I was just curious."

Goku pulled the woman into his arms and kissed her lips. "Would it change anything between us?" He kissed her again.

Her eyes were still closed when he pulled away from her. "No," she whispered.

Another kiss. "I'm 200."

The sound of footsteps pulled them out of each other's arms. Aria placed a pile of stuff on the counter. "Just bring it back and I won't charge you." Without another word, she turned and walked away.

A few hours later they were headed up the nearby mountain. Each one carried a large pack with ease. Empty baskets hung from their packs.

"Goku, do Saiyans have long life spans?" Usagi asked as they walked up the path.

"Yes, we can live up to 3000 years," Goku answered. "Though most don't, due to the high level of battles we have."

"3000 years, wow!" Usagi said, amazed.

"What about you, Princess?" Goku asked, taking her hand. "How old are you?"

The question caught her off guard. "Um, well," she thought for a moment. "I guess I would be 143 now." She giggled. "I hadn't thought much about my age till now."

"How long will you live?"

"I honestly don't know. As a Lunarian I know that my life span was longer than humans, but since becoming Cosmos, if my dreams are correct; I am immortal." It was the first time she had said that out loud. It sounded silly, but already she was much older than any normal human.

"Immortal?"

"I could be wrong. I really haven't got a clue."

Goku stopped and faced her. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah," She looked up at him. "I honestly hadn't thought about all this till now. When I was on Earth all I really worried about was not being noticed. Since landing on Vegeta I was too distracted by training." She sighed. "Now that I think about it, I'm afraid I could have a very sad and lonely life."

"I can keep you company, for 2000 years or so." Goku smiled at her. "I wouldn't mind that at all."

Usagi smiled. "I think I could handle that." She raised herself on her tippy toes and kissed him.

They walked till dusk, collecting numerous berries and leaves along the way for Kamama, and finally made camp. Goku collected some wood and Usagi started a fire with her powers from Mars.

Usagi fell asleep quickly, and Goku watched her sleep. He always liked watching her sleep when he had the chance. She was always so peaceful, this was the only time her defenses were truly down. She had grown so strong, and much like the Saiyan's she spent so much time around, she began to hide her feelings. She showed them most around him.

He brushed a stray strand of hair out of her face and smiled, then rolled over and fell asleep.

Over the next two days Usagi and Goku continued to scale the mountain, collecting supplies as they went. Finally, they reached the top, where a large meadow full of different flowers was. Usagi examined every flower, taking in their scent.

"It's beautiful here," she said picking a flower that resembled a rose.

"I knew you'd like it," Goku said with a smile. "I want to stay here for a while. Enjoy the meadow," he paused and blushed a little, "and some time alone."

Usagi blushed also, and buryied her nose in the flower. The scent was sweet, and similar to that of a rose on Earth. She closed her eyes and her mind wandered back to her time with Mamoru. Roses had always been his thing, and he often bought them or her. After his death, she avoided roses like the plague; they reminded her too much of him.

"Is everything ok?" Goku queried, seeing the somber look on her face.

Usagi opened her eyes and looked at him. "Yeah, just reminiscing." She pulled the flower away from her nose and began to stroke the soft petals. "My husband loved roses. I haven't been close to one since his death, this flower reminded me of one."

"It is a pretty flower." Goku embraced her. "Do you miss him?"

"Sometimes," Usagi admitted. "He died so long ago though, it's almost like that was a dream and this is the reality."

Goku leaned down and kissed her. "Sometimes I think this is a dream."

Usagi giggled and pinched him, making him jump. "Nope, you're not dreaming."

*One week later*

Usagi and Goku had been in the meadow on top of the mountain for a week now. They had set up camp on a grassy area close to the flowers. They trained every morning, working mostly on Usagi's instant transmission. She had only managed to do it once since they'd been there.

Frustrated she sat on the ground. "Why is this so hard?"

Goku walked over to her and sat down beside her. "I'm going to let you in on a little secret." Goku leaned closer to her. "Vegeta will never tell you this, but there are only a handful of Saiyans, including Vegeta and I, who can use instant transmission. It's not something all warriors can master. The fact that you have done it twice makes you among the best warriors in the universe."

"Really?"

"Really." He kissed her gently. "We can stop for now." He smiled. "I'll be back, stay here."

"Okay." She smiled. She watched him go and moved over to the large tree on the edge of the clearing. Leaning against the trunk she closed her eyes and enjoyed the smell of the meadow and the warm breeze.

Goku returned a while later with a basket full of flowers he had gathered from the other side of the mountain. Placing the basket down next to Usagi he pulled a few out. First, he handed her a white flower with a pearly finish. "This flower is called the moon flower, Kamama uses these to make a pearly paint color."

"It's beautiful." She twirled the flower, watching the sun reflect off the petals.

"This one," he said handing her a fiery red flower with a ton of little petals, "is called the Aideen flower."

Usagi marveled at the different shades of red and orange in the petals, it genuinely looked like it was on fire.

Next, he handed her a flower that had emerald green and blue petals. "They call this flower the Devmani." Last, he pulled out a pink flower that resembled a heart. He got closer to her now. "This is called the Love Blossom. Rumor has it that if you give this flower to someone and confess your feelings, and the feeling is returned, your love will be forever." He leaned in, close enough to kiss her, and gazed into her eyes. Placing the flower in her hand he said, "I love you, Usagi."

Usagi smiled. "I love you too." She kissed him, deeply and passionately.

Goku's lips moved down to Usagi's neck, drawing out a moan. They lay down on the grass and for the first time, they made love.

That's all for this chapter. No action here just lots of love . . . awe. Lol. Please review, and stay tuned for the next chapter.
