Hey!!! I'm really sorry that this took so long to get out. But I've had a really busy week. I had to memorize a stupid poem for French for Tuesday, the Declaration of Independence for Wednesday, English essay due Thursday, and a test Friday. Not to mention all the evil Chemistry homework I've had throughout the week. So once again I apologize for this taking so long. Also once again, thanks to all those who reviewed my story. You don't know how much I enjoy it. Well I hope you enjoy this chapter

Rebuilding a Broken Soul
Chapter 2
~*~ Kami's Lookout ~*~
"So when am I going to meet these friends of yours?" asked Serena.
"I'll have Mr.Popo take you to meet them tomorrow," replied Dende. "You can rest here tonight."
"You're sure they won't mind?"
"Trust me. They're very kind. Why don't you go and get some sleep now. Mr.Popo will show you to your room."
"Thank you very much for helping me," she said while bowing. Serena than turned around and followed Mr.Popo.
The next morning Serena woke up feeling pretty good. And then the memories of what had happened the previous day returned. This turned her emotion to fear. These friends of Dende might not like her, and they might not be as hospitable as Dende implied. She liked it here on the lookout. It was peaceful and quite beautiful. Dende had turned out to be very kind indeed, and so was Mr.Popo. Selene was right to trust them. Serena could see it in their eyes. There was no evil in them whatsoever. There was nothing they had kept secret from her. She remembered seeing a look which had said 'I'm hiding something' in the senshi's eyes. With that thought Serena cringed. The pain was still fresh. She wasn't ready to meet new people yet.
"I'm not ready Dende. I can't do it. I won't go. Can't I stay with you instead? I won't be in the way I promise."
"Would you rather me have them come here?"
"Not really."
Just then a sparkling white ball of light floated down from the sky between Serena and Dende. It stopped when it reached them, and Selene appeared in the ball of light.
"Please little one," said Selene. "You can trust the people he is having you meet. They are very friendly."
"I'm sure they are, but ......... but I'm scared."
With that, the tears she had been withholding the whole time came pouring out. The energy ball Selene was in grew until Selene was at her full height. Selene knelt down by Serena and took her in her arms.
"Hush now little one. It will all be okay. Dende, maybe you could have just Gohan and Goku come. Those two are very pure hearted. They would probably be the best ones to meet first."
"Yes. That would be good. Having her meet all of them at once might be too much for one day. I'll have Mr.Popo get a hold of them." Turning his attention to Serena who was still in Selene's arms, he said, "Do you wish to go to them or have them come here?"
Serena looked up for the first time, and the signs of her tears were evident.
"I....*sob*.... would rather them ....*sob*.... to come here," Serena managed to choke out before returning to Selene's comforting hold.
"Why don't you have them come this afternoon?" suggested Selene. "Serena needs some rest."
"Yes, yes. Of course. Why don't you take her to her room, and I'll go talk with Mr.Popo."
~*~ Son House ~*~
Gohan and Goku were sparring outside of their house when Mr.Popo arrived.
"Hey Mr.Popo!" shouted Gohan.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" asked Goku
"Oh. Dende just told me that he wished to speak to the two of you," replied Mr.Popo.
"Oh really? Hmm... I wonder what it's about. Did he tell you?"
"No, he didn't. But he said to come by this afternoon. I must go now. It was nice to see you again. Good bye."
"Alright. See ya later!"
"Yeah. Goodbye Mr.Popo," said Gohan. "Hmm... I wonder what Dende wants to talk to us about?"
"Yeah, me too. Guess we shall see this afternoon."
~*~ Later that day ~*~
"Hey Dad! It's time to go!" shouted Gohan.
"Alright, I'm coming," said Goku.
"Now you two be back soon, and please don't get into any trouble," said Chichi.
"Now, why would you say something like that?" asked Goku, who had huge grin plastered onto his face.
But before she had a chance to respond Goku and Gohan had blasted off.
"What am I going to do with them?" Chichi said while turning back into the house.
~*~ Kami's Lookout ~*~
"They should be here any moment Serena," said Dende. "Don't worry about a thing."
"Okay, I'll try."
As their short conversation ended, Goku and Gohan came flying onto the lookout. Serena was shocked. She had never heard of anyone being able to fly before let alone see anyone do it. Then she took a closer look at the two people. They looked alike. They were probably family. The older one was probably in his 30's. He had wild black hair sticking out every which way. He had black eyes as well. The other one looked to be around 17 or 18. He had black hair as well, but it was shorter and a little better kept than the older man's. He also had black eyes. Both were pretty muscular, they obviously kept themselves in good shape. *That guy is hot* (* indicates thought). *I shouldn't be thinking that*.
When Gohan arrived with his father, he was only expecting to see Dende and maybe Mr.Popo. But he saw a beautiful girl standing next to Dende. He had never seen anyone other than the Earth's Special Force's on the lookout before. And he had never seen this girl before. She had shimmering golden blonde hair done up in two pigtails. She had shining crystalline blue eyes, although Gohan noted that they had some sadness to them. He wondered why. She looked like a cheerful person, one that shouldn't have to worry about anything.
"Gohan, Goku! It's so good to see you two again," said Dende. "I'm glad the two of you could come."
"It's no trouble at all Dende," replied Goku. "Although, I was wondering what you wanted to talk to us about."
"Yeah, Dende," said Gohan. "Is there some new enemey we should know about?"
"No, no nothing like that," replied Dende. "I was wondering if you could do me a favor."
"Sure," said Goku. "What is it?"
"I'd like you to meet Serena," he said while half pushing Serena towards Goku and Gohan. Serena waved a little before trying to cower back a little.
"Hi Serena!" Goku said with a huge grin on his face. "I'm Goku, and this is my son Gohan"
"Nice to meet you Serena," said Gohan.
"She's new here, and it would be wonderful if you could let her stay with you until she has to leave," said Dende.
"Sure, that's no problem," said Goku. "Chichi would love to have her around."
"I have to go back?" asked Serena. "I don't want to go back! Not back there. There's nothing left for me there. Please don't make me. Please." The thought of returning to her own world frightened her. Tears started to fall. She tried to hold them back as best she could, but a few stray ones still managed to escape.
Goku and Gohan were a little bewildered. They didn't get what her outburst was about or why she had started to cry.
Goku moved up to Serena and said, "Don't cry. Noone is making you go anywhere. You can stay with us as long as you like. Okay?"
Serena didn't know why, but she trusted him. It was just his aura. He couldn't be mean or evil could he? She didn't know. But even with her uncertainess she said, "Alright. Thank you."
"Don't mention it. Chichi will be very happy to have another girl around. So do you want to leave right now?"
"Okay," Serena said a little more cheerfully. "Thank you Dende! You too Mr.Popo! By the way, how are we getting to where you live?"
"Well you saw us fly right?" asked Gohan. Serena nodded. "Well that's how we got here, and that's how we'll get back."
"Well, I can't fly." said Serena.
"No problem. I'll carry you."
"Umm... okay!"
They all said goodbye to Dende again, and then they left for the Son house.
