Dende woke at the ring of a high-pitched alarm. He looked at the
golden clock and quickly turned it off. He stretched and yawned. He quickly
realized that tomorrow he would be attending school. A smile appeared on
the young Namek's face. He would be in a grade below Gohan but would be in
some of his classes. Dende smiled and hopped out of bed. He quickly
materialized a pair of blue jeans and a baggy white shirt. 'I might as well
get used to wearing clothes like this.' Dende thought as he made his way
across his bedroom floor. Today he was training with Piccolo. Dende was
happy that he could train. A guardian needed to be strong in case look out
point was ever invaded. He walked out into the hallway and turned to his
right and made his way to the dining room. He sat down just as Piccolo
walked in. Piccolo took one look at Dende and smirked.
"Why are you dressed like that Dende?"
"Oh I'm going to school Piccolo. I'll be in Gohan's school."
Piccolo rolled his eyes.
"You've been around Chichi way to much. She's had a bad influence on you."
Piccolo smirked. Mr. Popo walked in with a pitcher of water and two glasses. He poured water into both cups. He gave one to Dende and one to Piccolo. He then left knowing that Piccolo didn't want him around. Piccolo gave Dende another odd look before taking a sip of his water. Dende sighed as he got ready for another beating from Piccolo.
~Serenity's room~
Serenity woke as the sunrays came through her closed eyelids. She smirked and opened them quickly. She glanced around her room to see the wall's had some knew blood splatters on them. Her father was no were in sight. 'Just as I thought. Come home beat me leave for another month.' Serenity got up and glanced around her room. 'Wow he really did a number on this place. To bad something didn't fall on him.' Serenity chuckled and walked into the small bathroom that was attached to her room. She stared at her reflection. She was pretty but in a strange way. Her skin had a strange light blue hue to it, just enough to show when she was under intense lights. And her ears were pointy and stuck out a little bit through her hair. She sighed and ran a comb through her hair and brushed her teeth. She had to eat today. Really badly. Even though starvation did wonder's for her figure she hadn't eaten in over three day's and it was beginning to show. She quickly got dressed. A black skirt that stopped about four inches above her knees and a tight green top that had one sleeve. It was no fashion statement. Her father had probably cut it off last night in a drunken rage. She also pulled on fingerless biker gloves. Serenity headed out the door of her apartment not even bothering to lock it but grabbing the small bit of money she had left. She crammed it into the bottom of her shoe.
She ran down the hall and into the stair well. She never bothered to take the elevator it was always broken. She quickly made her way down the thirteen flights and out into the lobby. She waved to some of the other resident's as she past them then went out into the busy streets. She always got looks from people on the streets but ignored them for the most part. She smiled as she found her way out of the city. She lived pretty close to the city limits. She knew that the little money she had would never be enough to buy any thing that could fill her so she would rely on nature today for her meal. She quickly found her way deep into a forest. It was no difficult task to Serenity. She had done it many times before and she just loved the woods.
Serenity walked slowly through the semi dark woods stopping occasionally to inhale the aroma that only a pine forest could give off. She stopped and picked a few berries that she found growing. She then headed to an area were she knew a willow tree was located. She had stashed a few granola bars that she had bought a while ago there. Serenity continued to walk as she popped the berries into her mouth. She swished her aqua hair from her face. She came to a clearing and stopped dead in her tracks. There was somebody there. He wore a pair of blue jeans and a baggy white dress shirt. It was undone and had a few rips in it. She had a clear view of his muscular chest. But then it snapped into place. He was green. But hey she couldn't talk. She took a step backwards and felt something there. She then felt a hot breath on the back of her neck. She spun around to see a tall man dressed in a purple gi. He was green just like the other guy. She swallowed and started to back into the clearing. Every step she took backwards he took one forwards. He scared her. Not his color but his presence. 'He feel's so strong. God he could kill me with one hit.'
"Who are you? And why are you here?" The green man demanded.
"I am Serenity. I'm here to eat the food that I keep in that tree." She gestured toward the willow tree behind her. She had stopped backing up.
"Who are you?" She asked as an after thought.
"I am Piccolo. And that over there is Dende." Piccolo gestured toward were the boy stood. Serenity turned to face him. He had seen her and Piccolo and was know walking toward them. Serenity couldn't take her eyes off him. When he walked the ripples it caused in his shirt the flexing of his muscles. It co0uld drive a woman mad. Serenity mentally slapped herself. 'Stop that! Oh but his abs! NO STOP IT!' Serenity continued to look until he started to talk.
"Hello. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Dende picked her hand up and gently kissed it.
'GOD!! HE"S GORGEOUS!!'
"Hi." Serenity blushed as a wave of impure thoughts ran through her mind. Piccolo who could read thoughts stared down in disgust at some of these. He bent down to her and gently whispered.
"Please stop. I can read minds."
Serenity blushed a deep shade of crimson.
"I'll be getting my food and be off!" Serenity said her voice calm cool and collected. She walked past the namek's and easily hopped into the tree and swung up. She hopped down a few minute's later carrying about thee granola bars. She looked slightly disappointed.
'Shit I thought I had more then this! I'm starving!'
Serenity looked down at herself. She was getting very thin and then noticed a small red stain growing on the side of her shirt. She cursed as she recognized it as blood. She gingerly put two fingers were the blood had showed up and pressed on the spot causing more blood to show up on the material. She then looked to her other side to see that it was slowly turning a deep crimson color also. She then glanced up to look at Piccolo and Dende who were just staring. Then Serenity fainted. Piccolo appeared just in time to catch her. He looked to Dende.
"She need's a doctor. We can bring her to Capsule corp."
Dende nodded. He quickly took flight after Piccolo. It took about five minutes for the two to reach the round building. Dende knocked on the door, which was opened by Gokuu. He smiled his huge Son grin.
"Oh hi Dende! Piccolo! What brings you two here?" Then Gokuu's gaze landed on the girl that was in Piccolo's arms.
"Oh. Bulma! Come here!" Bulma ran when she heard Gokuu's calls. She saw he girl and quickly instructed Piccolo to bring her to the lab. Piccolo nodded and walked in followed by Dende. Dende had never been in Capsule corp. before. He had never needed any medical care but this girl needed it badly.
'I wonder why she was bleeding.did Piccolo hurt her? No she would have died but it was a lot of blood. I wonder how she is.'
Dende continued to follow Piccolo until he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Vegeta standing there. His shirt off wearing spandex shorts a towel around his neck.
"What are you doing here?"
"Ummm.me and Piccolo found a girl and she's hurt so we brought her here."
Vegeta smirked and walked past Dende who looked around for Piccolo. He sensed his ki near by and followed it. Piccolo was standing outside a door leaning against a wall. Dende peeked into the open door. Bulma was having a hard time restraining the girl. She had obviously woken up. She let out an ear splitting scream as Bulma applied some cream to her back. She sat up in the bed her side and torso had been bandaged. Bulma left the room breathing rather hard.
"Well that kids got a lot of problems." She whispered turning to face Piccolo. "What did you do?"
"Nothing. She was like that before." Dende nodded in agreement with Piccolo.
"Well let's just say whoever did that used some kind of weapon. She has gashes in her back they had scabbed over but had reopened I guess. She is pretty strong.' Bulma rubbed a place on her arm were the girl had punched her 'and get this! She's blue!"
Dende peeked inside once more to see that Vegeta was in there know holing her down to the bed talking to her. She was blue to. But not a deep blue just a tint of blue. Bulma walked downstairs. Gokuu came up just after Bulma had left.
"Is she ok?" He asked in a concerned tone.
"I don't know. I guess we could go in."
Dende walked into the room followed by Piccolo and Gokuu. They stood around the bed.
Serenity glanced around at all of them. 'I'm surrounded by hot men. I must be dead.'
"What the fuck do you want?" She asked in a harsh tone. 'Well not exactly what I wanted to say but o well.'
"We found you in the woods. You were getting granola bars out of a tree. Then you started to bleed and fainted so we brought you here for medical care."
Serenity looked to the Piccolo.
"Oh ya.ummm by the way did you bring those bars with you?"
"No why?"
"SHIT!!! YOU BAKA!!! NOW I HAVE TO STARVE!!" Serenity burst out into tears. Vegeta Piccolo Dende and Gokuu all sweat dropped.
"I don't think you're going to starve." Serenity gave Vegeta an evil glare.
"You ever not eaten for over three days Mr. high and mighty?' Serenity sat up in anger. 'You ever gone to school and by made fun of because you're a freak! You ever been beaten by the man that is supposed to love you unconditionally?! Or come home to find out your mother committed suicide because the man she loved wasn't human! You ever had a leather belt make gashes in you that you have to hide in gym class! Or how about find out that the man that is supposed to be your father isn't? ' She glanced around at the on lookers. 'No I didn't think so."
"Why are you dressed like that Dende?"
"Oh I'm going to school Piccolo. I'll be in Gohan's school."
Piccolo rolled his eyes.
"You've been around Chichi way to much. She's had a bad influence on you."
