Chapter one- Wishes & Leather Belts
Dende sat at look out point watching as the tiny people made there way through the streets. He was quite lonely sitting up there all day and night. He had Mr. Popo but he wasn't enough. He wanted friends his own age. Like Gohan who was at school now and didn't visit Dende as much as Dende wanted him to. Dende let out a sigh.
"I wish I could go down there. I wish I could go with Gohan to school. It gets so boring being the Guardian of earth sometime."
Dende glanced down once more before getting up. He saw Mr. Popo watering the flowers. Dende walked up to him and tapped his shoulder.
"Oh hello Dende. Is something wrong?"
Mr. Popo could see on Dende's face that he was hiding something. Mr. Popo reached out one of his hands and set it on Dende's shoulder. Dende looked to the ground.
"I want to go to earth."
Mr. Popo was a little shocked at first by his strange request but then it fell into place. He needed friends of his own. His own age to talk to and to have fun with. Mr. Popo smiled and removed his hand.
"Kami went through this stage to the longing for others your own age. You can go to earth but you must attended school and come back here every night unless I know were you are."
Dende's heart did flip-flops.
"Do you mean it?" He asked looking up to Mr. Popo. He nodded a huge smile on his face. Dende hugged the genie and ran to the edge of look out point.
"I'm going to go tell Gohan! He'll be hysteric!"
Dende waved before taking flight. Mr. Popo looked on a smile still on his face. He went back to watering the flowers.

Gohan was sitting at home just finishing his homework. He sighed as he closed the thick Math book. He leaned back on his chair proud of his achievements. He took a gaze out his window just in time to see a green dot flying toward his house. Gohan jumped up and opened his window. He recognized the namek's ki.
"Hi Dende! What are you doing here?" Gohan yelled to his approaching friend as he waved franticly.
Dende smiled seeing that his friend had recognized him. He flew a little faster and came to a gentle land a few feet from the house. He took a few more steps toward the house before being greeted by yet another.
"Hello Dende what brings you here?"
"Oh hi Gokuu. I'm here to see Gohan."
Gokuu smiled and opened the door just in time to see Gohan run out it.
"Dende!" Gohan ran up to his friend and gave him a huge hug. He then realized what he was doing and coughed separating the hug. He held out his hand in a dignified way.
"It's nice to see you again."
Dende smiled and took his hand.
"It's nice to see you to Gohan."
The two friends walked inside the igloo shaped house and sat down at the small table. Gohan was eating a sandwich. Chichi had offered Dende one but he refused and was now sipping a glass of water. Gohan took another huge bite from his sandwich.
"So Dende what brings you to earth?" Gohan asked his mouth still stuffed. Dende set his glass of water down.
"I came here to tell you that I will be attending school with you. The arrangements have been made and I will starting on Monday."
Gohan had taken a sip of his drink but had sprayed it out his nose almost all the way across the room. He turned to look at his friend.
"Are you crazy? You're the guardian of earth! And another thing! YOUR GREEN!!!"
Dende smiled.
"I know this but I am lonely and have made up my mind. In two day's time I will go to orange star high. I am registered under the name Dende Kami." Dende was interrupted when Gohan snorted.
"Boy you sure are trying to fit in.' He does a really bad impression of Dende 'Hi I'm Dende Kami! I was born from an egg and come from the planet Namek witch was almost destroyed by a big gay alien. I am also the Guardian of earth. It's nice to meet you." Gohan started to laugh. Dende smirked.
"And I could also tell them of the many adventures of THE GREAT SAYI- MAN!" He does many stupid poses then ends up on the table his hands forming the latter 'M' on his forehead. Dende looked down at Gohan who looked quite angry.
"I don't look like that."
"No you look worse."
After a while of bickering and a little bit of fighting both boys collapsed on the ground laughing hysterically. Gohan took a side glance at his friend.
"Hey Dende?"
"Ya?"
"What do you think about girls? I know your asexual and stuff but still."
Dende's eye's shot open.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!"
Gohan sat up.
"What did I say something wrong?"
"I am not asexual!"
Gohan looked at him.
"But Piccolo said."
"He said that! Wow he must be small or something! I have male organs Gohan."
Gohan blushed 'How did I get myself into this!'
"Ok I believe you. No need for a visual aid."
Dende snorted out through his nose.
"That's better. And I don't know much about girls. I've never met one besides Bulma." Dende shivered remembering that day on Namek.
"Well what are you going to wear to school?"
Dende looked down at his baggy white muumuu and cloak.
"What's wrong with this?" He asked confused. Gohan sweat dropped.
"Well you might get strange looks."
Dende nodded.
"I'll just materialize clothes."
Gohan nodded. He stood up from the kitchen floor.
"Well you better get going before Mr. Popo has a spaz attack and dies or something."
Dende nodded. He walked out the door and took to the air. He looked forward to Monday. His first day of school. He had the education of someone who had gone to collage but he thought he needed a break from learning something knew every day. He just wished that there was someone at school who would accept him for who he is.
~Meanwhile not to far from Orange star high~
Serenity sat at home waiting for her father. He was late as usual. She had been home for about three day's. Her father who had a business trip had left her with limited supplies and practically no money. Serenity looked to her calendar. Two day's until she had to go back to school. She sighed with relief. Well partly with relief. She did hate school. She was one of those kids that no one wanted to talk to. The other kid's had even given up making fun of her. She was a total loner but at school she ate at the café for free along with her classmates.
She let out a sigh and swished her aqua hair from her face. She stared out into the darkness of the city from her room and the 13'Th floor of an apartment building. She gazed the sky for any sign of life with her deep teal eyes. How she wished that when she went back to school that there would be someone who would accept her for who she was. Serenity stood up as she heard a key scrape against the lock of the apartment door. She slowly closed her bedroom door the rest of the way when she heard her father's rambling's. She glanced out her open window once more before her door burst open and her father came in. He took one look at his daughter and took off his belt. Tears welded up on Serenity's eyes as her father took a step toward her cracking the hard leather belt as he did. She held back her tears. She had to be strong. Her father looked down his nose on her before bringing the leather belt down on Serenity's back.
