***SO! After rereading the chapter 9 that I had put up after a good night's sleep, I re did it. =o= I wont be putting smut into this story anymore. It doesn't work well at all and it makes everything seem rushed. I apologize to those who may have like the chapter but I hope this chapter is more plot developed especially to the characters and seems rushed _"" Sorry again! Review on the new changes please!""

As their hands touched Vegeta took a step towards her. "I saw you tonight..." His eyes looked at her sternly, filled with loathing. "Tonight...?" Eva tilted her head to the side confused. She then remembered where was all last night, making her grow wide.

Vegeta took another step toward her, flames in his eyes showed possession and anger. "You were surrounded by men...what were you thinking?!" He growled dangerously. Eva glared at him for a minute, her eyes still shining orange.

"I was having fun with Bulma for her birthday party. Why do I need to explain this to you. I am not your mate-" A sudden burst came of blue ki flamed from Vegeta as his voice and anger rose. "YES YOU ARE!"

His voice echoed throughout the mountains and her house. Eva took a step back and tryed to snatch her hand away from him, failing as his power rose. Her voice was dangerously low whisper, "Have you forgotten why you were sent away 4 years ago?"

Vegeta's eyes narrowed as he powered down and scowled to the side. "those men were not the only things I saw princess." He eyed her from the side for a second before looking at her fully. His eyes were no longer stern, or filled with anger, only a feeling that Eva recently discovered.

(E)Bulma: "Isnt it time for you to fall in love Eva?"

Eva blushed softly as his eyes absorbed her fully, making her look to the ground. Lost in her thoughts and feelings she didnt notice until the last second that Vegeta was right in front of her. He lifted his hand and tilted her chin up making her look at him.

"You feel the same way. I know you do..." he said softly, his other hand drifting into her hair slowly.

The sky started to darken and the air became a cold crisp. Both of their breaths became white puffs. Eva saw as snow slowly started to fall around them, the air was still and silent. It was if the world itself was frozen for them.

"Tell me those words...the ones I have wanted to hear for years..." Vegeta whispered sternly. It sounded demanding but Eva knew it was more than that, he was pleading for her to say it. She closed her eyes tightly trying to sort everything out.

Her heart was so full of emotions, he was right there in front of her, his eyes filled with what he wanted her to say, Bulma's words resonating within her...but she couldnt...she was scared, afraid that he would throw her away like she did her best friend.

Scared that if they were found out that her planet would be destroyed from the wrath of the king. But more than that, more than anything, scared that she was actually in love with him and she didnt know what to do with that information. She knew that if she chose this path, there would be no happy ending for anyone.

With that realization she shoved Vegeta away from her with both hands. He took a couple steps back, his face filled with shock. With her hands slowly held up, she looked up at him with half open eyes, filled with tears.

"There is so much at stake...how can we be selfish and go against both of our peoples expectations, responsibilities...for what...flings of love?" Eva angrily flung her hands to the side. Vegeta stood there silent staring at her. He took steps towards again. "Tell me those words Princess..." She looked at him and gawked.

He was so full of confidence and stood tall, his eyes still had the same words flashing out. Each step that he took towards her, made her heart thump. He stopped in front of her, his hand to his side, looking down at her. She noticed how the 4 years have changed him.

He was half a foot taller than her, his muscles were bulkier than before. He no longer looked or sounded like a teenager. His deep voice almost made her swoon when she heard him. He was a man, a confidence filled Prince. Vegeta was ready to rule not only a measly planet but an empire...all he needed was a strong Queen.

"What will you do if I tell you? Will you split the empire that your father so carefully constructed?" She said softly looking up at the strong Prince. He crossed his arms and looked at her sternly. "I will take what is mine. No man, no KING, will prevent me from that." His voice boomed with confidence.

Eva smiled sadly and walked to the railing watching the snow fall and sighed. "4 years was a long time Vegeta. Both of us have grown...groomed to become rulers,, you in particular. So my lord," She turned to him with a sad smile. "I will not give you those words but something that you have always given me..."

Before he could answer, Eva walked up him and placed a hand on his face. His eyes softened again, staring at the beautiful red princess in front of him. She took a step and kissed him softly. He instantly wrapped his arms around her, trying to engulf her completely.

Eva pulled away from the deep kiss, earning a growl from Vegeta. She look up at him softly and smiled. "Maybe in different times we couldve continued...but at least you have my answer..." Before he could stop her, she floated out of his arms and drifted a few feet from him.

A blush still on her face she saw as how he stared at her hungrily, longingly. "You will be mine..." He said softly pulling out a capsule from a pouch in his armor and tossed it to her. She grabbed it and looked at it curiously and then back at him. He floated in the air still staring at her.

"Come and we will make our desires reality." He stated before taking off towards the palace. Eva popped open the capsule to revealing a black mask that looked similar to a wolf and a silver piece of paper.

Honored Guest,

You have been invited to the most splendid of all parties due to the Prince's return. Please wear your most extradnary dress outfit, a mask and bring your invitation to the party. The masquerade will take place in the three day from now at the Royal Palace between noon and midnight.

The Royal Family

Eva read the invite gawking before staring at the sky that Vegeta had flown off towards. (E)What is he planning? Sighing, Eva placed the invite and the mask on a small table inside of her house. Closing the balcony door she yawned realizing how late….well early it had become.

"I will just have to call Bulma in the morning…" Eva said softly before undressing and jumping into the automated shower. As the warm water washed over her, her thoughts strayed back to how Vegeta had acted…

(E)Can things really be different…is he planning something that will ensure that every thing will be ok? No… Eva glared at the ceiling. If cant accept his and mine responsibilities then all I have down would have been for naught….mother, father….no I cant let them down…even if I…

Eva shook her head before finishing the thought and turned off the water. After drying herself off and putting on a large tshirt, she slipped under the covers on her bed and slipped into a dream of her home…and somehow a certain prince appeared before her.

That Afternoon

After Eva had slept for a good 5 hours, she decided she dawdled enough and rolled out of bed. She changed into jeans and a tight buttoned up blue plaid polo that Bulma had given her and comfortable tennis shoes. Pulling her hair into a pony tail she headed down to her lab to continue finishing the hyperbolic chamber.

While walking she remembered the invite and dialled for Bulma. "Good morning Eva…" Bulma said hung over. "Its afternoon Bulma." Laughed Eva. "I need a dress…for a masquerade." Bulma's voiced sharpened in excitement as she pushed back the sleepiness and hung over back hearing the news. "A MASQUEARADE?!" She squealed making Eva flinch.

"Um, yes Bulma I was wondering-" "EVA, you will come over within an hour! I have the perfect dress! I am thinking goldddddddd!" Before Eva could say anything, Bulma hung up. Sghing she picked up the mask from the desk. "I guess I wont be getting any work done today…"

"Hmmmm what will happen at the masquerade hmmmm? Will Eva steal the show and grab the prince after realizing her inveitable feelings? Or would a third party jump in? hoo hoo hoo =v= you will see. Hope you guys liked the redo chapter. Review please! Thanks for reading!*
