* LAST TIME *

"Look at me! I'm a big ape!" Goten said as he growled at Serena while imitating an ape with the big goofy arms. Serena laughed at his antics and Trunks followed suit.

"Gggrrrrrrrrrr!" He said and boosted up to Super Saiyan.

"Aaaaaahhhh!" Gohan yelled as he did the same.

Serena pretended to be scared and started screaming and running away from them as they chased her.

Two figures watched from the sky and didn't know what to do.

"Who's that person in the cloak?"

"I don't know, I can't even sense their ki!"

"It doesn't matter! Just knock the boys out before they change and we'll figure out who that other person is later!" the shorter one yelled and both fired blasts at their sons.

Serena turned around and saw two glowing balls headed for them. The boys stopped to see what she was staring at and realized that they had just been shot at by their fathers. They immediately returned to normal.

"Dad, no!"

"Don't shoot!"

"Noooooo!" 'Not again! Must protect,' and Serena grabbed the two boys.

CHAPTER 11: THEY FINALLY MEET

The two men watched as their blasts headed for their sons, praying that they had knocked them unconscious in time but froze when they heard their sons yell for them not to shoot.

"Oh no! Goten!"

"Trunks!"

They wouldn't be able to make it in time to save their sons, who for some reason weren't transforming into giant monkeys. "Kami, please save them." Goku saw the hooded figure grab his son and Trunks before the attack hit them and then all they saw was the bright light that flashed as the attack made contact.

The boys who were safe behind Serena's wings, peeked their eyes open to find they were in a wall of white. They were warm and safe and it felt soft. Then they felt Serena holding on to them tightly, trying her best to protect them from their father's attacks.

"Are you boys okay?" she asked while checking over them for scratches or cuts. She didn't find a single mark.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

As the smoke cleared, Goku and Vegeta expected to see their sons and the third person lying on the ground unconscious but what they saw totally shocked them dumb.

There was a white barrier in place that didn't looked like it had been attacked at all. It started to slowly open to reveal them as a pair of wings. The owner of the wings was glaring at the two assailants who dared to attack her nephew and her dreamer.

The winds started to pick up and her hair and eyes turned dark silver. "How dare you attack these two boys! Suffer!" She held out her palm facing the flying men and yelled, "MOONLIGHT RINGS!"

Rings of light flew from out of nowhere and latched onto the two men's wrists and legs and held them in place. The light from the rings began to crawl up their legs and arms until it covered their entire bodies except for their heads.

Vegeta and Goku laughed when they saw rings of light on their wrists and ankles but stopped laughing when they felt it burning their skin.

"AAAAahhhhhh!"

"What kind of a trick is this?"

The boys stood next to Serena and watched as their father's turned into big white dolls.

"Wait tenshi! That's my dad. Don't hurt him please!"

The men watched and listened as Goten told the woman who they were and they saw her eyes flash from silver to blue and her hair turned back to the mix of blonde and silver.

"Oh no!" She immediately called the light back to her and it left their bodies and marks where it had burned them. They fell to the ground from the lack of energy and were gasping for air as the three walked back.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry. I thought you guys were evil and trying to hurt my boys!" Serena put herself between the two men and put her hands on their chests. They couldn't move from the little 'light show' she had just performed and so they lay there helplessly.

She closed her eyes and concentrated as she began to glow silver again. Goku gasped as he felt an unknown power surge through him and Vegeta felt it as well. After her glowing stopped, they both found that they were recharged again and got up to find out who this person was that attacked and then healed them.

Vegeta glared at the woman. 'How can one so small and weak looking be so strong?' he thought to himself. Goku was thinking along a totally different track.

'She's so...beautiful,' he thought as his eyes wandered over her body.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Vegeta growled.

Goten was holding on to her hand now for moral support. She felt a little stronger.

"This is my Tenshi!" he said proudly. Her name is Serena and I prayed to Kami for her and she came."

Serena looked down at the little boy with as much love as she could muster and pulled him into a hug.

Vegeta wasn't convinced. "Don't make me ask again, onna. Who sent you here?"

Serena stood proudly and put her fist to her chest. "Hello King Vegeta. It is a pleasure to finally see you again." That threw him off big time.

"King Vegeta? King Vegeta died a long time ago. I am his son, Prince Vegeta." 'What does this woman know?'

"If I'm not mistaken, Vegeta, you are the king now because your father passed away and you have a mate do you not? That would make you king." Vegeta liked this girl. She was a smart one.

"I believe you're right," he smirked. Trunks rolled his eyes. He was going to be hearing about this for a long time. "But that still doesn't explain why you're here, does it?"

Her brother hadn't changed one bit. She walked up to him and put her arms around him. The cocky prince was stiff as she kissed him on the cheek. 'I can't believe she just did that!' He growled and pushed her away from him with a disgusted look on his face.

Serena stumbled back and Goten got into a fighting stance in front of her. "What do you think you're doing woman?!" The prince was screaming at the top of his lungs.

Serena's eyes began to water. 'He doesn't remember at all.'

Goku watched her and felt his heart soften for the poor little angel that was going to get a beating.

"That is no way to speak to royalty you big, over-stuffed jerk!" Everyone's eyes bugged out of their sockets when they heard those words come out of Serena's mouth.

"I'll teach you a lesson..." he growled and picked her up by the throat. His eyes were glowing red and Goku tried to pry his fingers open but couldn't succeed as Vegeta batted him away like a fly.

"Who are you and what are you doing here! You have one chance left or I'll kill you!"

Serena tried to speak but could only manage to make her voice come out in a whisper. "Geta, I can't believe you don't even recognize your little sister."

"You lie! My sister died right after my father! Tell the truth! Now!" He was getting furious and didn't know the little moisture that was gathering in his eyes when she said that.

"Geta, I am telling the truth! (cough cough) Look!" Her eyes traveled to her right shoulder and Vegeta suddenly remembered what to look for. He pulled her cloak away and the shirt and saw the little light butterfly birthmark on her right shoulder, just where he remembered it to be.

Vegeta immediately dropped her with wide eyes. She was gasping for air as he left to go back in the house, leaving her there with the other three.

"What did you say to my dad?" Trunks and Goten lifted an arm each and hovered above the ground to get her on her feet.

"Thank you boys. I'll tell you later."

Goku made his way back to the group and saw the woman standing with the help of the two little boys. As he got nearer, his curiosity got the better of him and he reached a hand out to touch her wing.

"No dad! Don't touch it..." Goten tried to warn his dad but it was too late. Serena didn't see what he was doing, but felt him as he touched the back of her wings.

'Oh no!'

Goku growled in pain as he brought his injured finger to his mouth to suck the blood from it. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know that you wanted to touch them...you're supposed to touch the inside feathers, not the ones on the outside." She walked over to him and grabbed his hand with the hurt finger. She dried it off by blowing on it and brought it to her mouth where she placed a little kiss on it.

Goku watched silently as she kissed his finger and she showed it to him. He couldn't find the cut anywhere. Her eyes were glowing with an unknown light and Goku was drawn in. She truly was an angel. As she took her hand away from his, he could feel a loss and something in him stirred.

She turned to face him once again and spread her wings out. "If you want to feel, you have to feel these feathers," she said as she grabbed his other hand and brought it to her wing. They were indescribably soft as Goku felt the mass of white fluffiness under his fingers. At his height of 6'4", he looked down at her shorter being of 5'6" and smiled.

"BULMA! WHERE ARE YOU ONNA!"

Bulma rounded the corner from the kitchen into the living room. "What do you want now you big baby?"

"Do you know that woman that is out there proclaiming to be my sister?"

"Yes." She stared at him. He could really be dumb sometimes.

"Who is she and I demand the truth!"

"She's your sister you idiot." Bulma walked back into the kitchen where she was preparing dinner.

"Don't call me an idiot, woman! My sister died a long time ago when I was younger!"

Bulma glared at her husband. "Maybe if you'd talk to her instead of attempting to kill her, she would tell you how and why she came here!" Bulma had seen the whole thing from the door. As soon as she heard Goten and Trunks growling and making Serena laugh, she watched them and watched how the two men tried to attack their sons and how Serena protected them and attacked back.

"What were you thinking when you attacked our son?" Her hands were on her hips and Vegeta understood that body language.

"I THINK I was trying to protect everyone from 2 large monkeys that were going to appear and destroy everything! That's what I think!"

They didn't hear the front door open or 4 people walk in behind them. Vegeta was confused when Bulma ran behind him and latched onto Serena. "Serena are you alright? I saw those two blockheads attack you guys. They didn't hurt you did they?" Serena smiled and assured her that she was fine and so were the boys.

Turning to Goku, she asked, "Why DID you attack your sons?"

Goku looked away as he answered, "When we finished training we felt something funny and noticed that the moon was back and that it was full. These boys haven't seen the moon before and they don't know how to control their other form yet. The only way to keep them from transforming was to knock them unconscious."

"That's horrible!" She glared.

"Well, it's a lot better than having the planet blow up and millions of people killed."

"It doesn't matter. They're used to it anyway!" came a voice from the back.

"What do mean they're used to it Vegeta?"

Goku saw how protective she was of them and thought it was kind of...cute. "When we train and spar, we don't go easy on them. I'm sure if they didn't like it, they wouldn't come back for more. It makes them stronger after every battle. They don't get knocked out anymore unless they're not paying attention like they were tonight."

Bulma had a question in her mind. "Wait, so first of all, how did the moon come back, and second-why haven't the boys transformed yet?"

Goku shrugged and the boys smiled with mirth. "I noticed that the moon didn't exist in this dimension, and it's the only way I can talk to my mother and have my strength increased, so I brought it back."

"But now we have to watch the boys every full moon! I think this is going to cause more trouble than it should. We should just destroy it now."

"No dad! We didn't transform because Serena used magic on our tails, look!" The two little boys lifted their tails to show them off. "Cool huh? They're silver!"

Vegeta's temper was flaring up again. "What have you done to my son's tail?"

"Calm down Geta, I just put a little counter on their tails so that they wouldn't transform when the full moon was out. It will get more and more silver as the moon gets closer to being full and then it will return back to normal after that."

"Hmph," he snorted.

"So, Serena. How about you tell us how and why you came here," Goku asked.

"But why don't we do it over dinner and mind your manners this time!" Bulma added.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"So you're telling us that you came here to train to fight against some sort of evil that you don't know will even come?"

The blonde nodded her head while bringing the fork full of spaghetti to her mouth.

"And I was wondering if you guys would train me. I have the magic down and am learning more in my night training, but I need the physical training."

Vegeta looked over at her and swallowed the food in his throat. "You will train with the brats until you get strong enough to beat them and then you may train with us. Otherwise, stay out of our way!" He went back to eating his food again. Everyone was wondering how she was going to handle this.

"Thank you Geta." She smiled at him and went back to eating her food.

"So Serena, why do you keep calling Vegeta, Geta?"

"Because that's my sister's nickname for me you third-class idiot."

It was Goku's turn to stare. 'Vegeta's sister? How could she be related to HIM?'

Serena could read the question in his eyes. "A long time ago, when Vegeta's father was alive, he, his mate and my mother were best friends. One day, Vegeta's mom was killed and my mother went over to Vegeta-sei to try to keep the king and his son stable. They ended up falling in love and she became his mate, so Vegeta is my older, half brother. I inherited my mother's looks if you're wondering why we don't look alike, but I inherited my father's temper and his tail."

Everyone sweat dropped. "You have a tail?" She nodded as she concentrated and made it appear for everyone to see. It waved at everyone around the table and then she quickly made it disappear again.

"I just found out about it when I got here about a year ago, or rather a week according to you. I still don't know how it works, but I'll find out."

"Tenshi, won't you turn into a giant monkey too now?"

She looked at Goten, "I don't think so sweetheart. I used to live on the moon, remember? I think since I am both Lunarian and Saiyan, I won't turn into a giant monkey at all."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

After much more questioning, Vegeta finally announced that he believed her.

"I have one more question. What was my nickname for you?"

Serena thought about it and the prince thought that he finally caught her in the act. She panicked at first because she couldn't remember, but she smiled at him.

"You didn't give me a nickname because you thought they were childish and were for weaklings."

Vegeta was impressed. "Alright."

Serena jumped from her chair at the table and ran and gave him another hug. This time he didn't pull away. Of course he was confused because he rarely got hugs and so he just patted her head until she sat back down again. Bulma smiled. Things might actually run normal with her around.

"Get off me onna! I'm not a chair!"

Bulma chuckled. 'Yup.'
