Disclaimer: I own nothing but my imagination.

Vegeta had disappeared after Goku had sang in front of the window. He had to blow off some steam. How could he possibly go to the party after he just heard all that. And knowing Bulma, he will make him dance with Goku. He had to just pretend he heard nothing. However this would be hard. Why do you ask? Well, he did love Goku and Bulma had already discovered that. Being the good friend to Goku, Bulma wasn't mad, but she did keep trying to make he and Goku be together; since Vegeta's pride does nothing to help him come out when they spar.

This is why they are having the party, to finally put them together. Sadly though, Goku still believes that Vegeta will forever stay with Bulma. But tonight, he will try to convince her that he and Bulma are not together and that he does want to be with her.

Everyone begins to arrive at the party, friends with friends, couples, and people you want to try to find someone. Vegeta is in the hallway of the house they are using when he sees Goku walk in. 'She really looks beautiful.' He walks to her and says "Well Kakorat, I didn't think you had it in you." He didn't mean it to sound mean, but thankfully she understood him. "Yeah I know, its so unlike me. Will you grace us with your presence on the dance floor, Prince Vegeta?", she says giggling. "For you my loyal servant yes" Vegeta replied with a smirk. Goku just smiled while shaking her head and walked with ChiChi to Bulma.

They all walk to the grand ballroom to an entrance of so many people singing.

"Masquerade, paper faces on parade. Masquerade, hide you face so the world will never find you. Masquerade! Every face a different shade. Masquerade, look around there's another mask behind you."

This took Goku back, a few months before her husbands death. They had gone to a friend's party just like this one. Everyone singing and everyone without a care in the world. Every face covered, every secret kept. She watched in the background as the happy people continued there song, just like the last time.

"Flash of mauve, splash of puce. Fool and king, ghoul and goose. Green and black, queen and priest. Trace of rouge, face of beast. Faces! Take you turn, Take a ride. On the merry-go-round. In an inhuman race."

Vegeta was astounded by the way everyone seemed to get along with each other. Then ChiChi appeared beside him giving him an 'I know' look. This got Vegeta annoyed, "What do you want woman?" ChiChi only smiled more and said, "Goku is all alone standing in the back, go talk to her." Then she pushes him a little forward and walks away quickly. He scans the room to find her and low and behold she was there lost in her own little world. He quickly strides over there without having anyone notice.

Goku on the other hand was lost in the day, HE threatened her husband. (You will learn who HE is in a minute or so). The exact same song played as they entered the building

"Eye of gold, thigh of blue. True is false, who is who? Curl of lip, swirl of gown. Ace of hearts, face of clown. Faces! Drink it in, drink it up. Till you've drowned in the light, in the sound.

But who can name the face?"

Goku never needed to see the person to know who was behind each mask, and neither did Vegeta when he saw her walk inside. She was as beautiful even when she wore her orange suit for sparring. 'Damn it, why can't I ever tell her how I feel. Why is it so hard for me.' He thought angrily. He stop when he was close enough to her and asked "Goku?" That voice snapped her out of her trance and smiled at Vegeta. "Yes?" Hesitating a little he asked "Would you care for a dance, I mean it would be a real honor for you." 'Damn it," he thought 'I blew it now!" Chuckling, Goku said "Sure would, now come." and drags him out to the dance floor.

"Masquerade! Spinning yellows, spinning reds. Masquerade. Take your fill, let the spectacle astound you. Masquerade! Burning glances, turning heads Masquerade. Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you."

Goku and Vegeta had to back away a little bit to not get trampled by the other dancers. However as they moved away; they watched as the other dancers became slightly silent as the sang.

"Masquerade, seething shadows, breathing lies. Masquerade, you can fool any friend who ever knew you. Masquerade! Leering satyrs, peering eyes. Masquerade, run and hide, but a face will still pursue you."

As they watched most of the guest walk down the flight of stairs, they began to dance again. Some light chatter here and there but as each verse sounded familiar, Goku's mind traveled back to that night.

She and her husband were bound together by a soon to be marriage. However she knew that one of Frieza's kind was after her, to have her only and never let her go. She worried for her husband so she kept the marriage a secret. She remembers the little spat they had before heading to the dance floor.

"Think of it, a secret engagement. Look, your future bride. Just think of it." She says happily. Though he was still puzzled by the secrecy, how could she possibly tell him. "But why is it secret? What have we to hide? You promised me." He reached out and tried to kiss her, but she was still to fearful so she backed away. "No. Please don't; they'll see." "Then let them see. It's and engagement, not a crime." She was still so reluctant. "Goku what are you afraid of?" She looks at him and sings "Let's not argue, please pretend. You will understand in time." Then they enter to dance.

Vegeta saw the distant look of his item of affection. He wanted to bring her back to reality. So as the song got to a better part for a couple to dance, he spun her and made her smile. They continued to dance up to the point where the music grew intense leading to a finisher. He say his chance and grabbed her chin gently. He slowly pulled her towards him but was halted by her turning away to the sudden interruption of the other dancers.

"Masquerade! paper faces on parade. Masquerade, hide you face so the world will never find you. Masquerade! Every face a different shade. Masquerade, look around there's another mask behind you. Masquerade, burning glances, turning heads. Masquerade. Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around. Masquerade! Grinning yellows, spinning reds. Masquerade. Take you fill; let the spectacle astound you."

Those last few lines, knocked Goku out cold. Or so it seem to her. Nothing was happening at the party except that after the song was done everyone laughed and talked. But in her memories, one of Frieza's race, the one who wants her comes in.
