"Serenity! Help!" four girls screamed, as they struggled to stay free. One by one, they disappeared, staring into her eyes, pleading, crying out for help.

She ran torwards them, but it was too late. They were gone. Forever. She cried out, and then turned to face her enemy, seeking revenge. He smiled at her, raised his arm, and then released his final attack...

Serena woke with a gasp, sucking air into her lungs. She felt hands, strong hands holding her onto the bed. She struggled, realizing that she was being bound, just like the people in her dreams. She let out another cry, when suddenly, a hand was shoved over her mouth.

"SSSSHHHHHH! Jeez, you scream louder than anyone else I know! Just be quiet, no more screaming. You'll be just fine. No ones hurting you!" A deep, soothing voice quieted her. She looked up into the man's face. He was about 18, tall, muscular, with short black hair that stood up in every direction. His black eyes were filled with concern.

She stared into his eyes, taking in every thought, every emotion inside. She watched, looking inside those black eyes, reliving every moment of his life. She saw his pain, his suffering, his joys, his happiness. She saw concern, for her.

"Who are you? Where am I?" She studdered, suddenly bringing up another thought. Why am I here? Tears filled up into her eyes again, but she held them back.

Gohan looked at the poor, helpless, girl lying in his bed. She was so scared. He couldn't blame her. I'd probably freak out too if I didn't know where I was or how I got there...

"It's okay. You're fine. Here, why don't we clean you up so that we can go get some dinner, can you get up? There you go. I'll help. Food will help too. Come on." He told her in a conforting voice.

He helped her out of bed. He made sure to stay next to her in case that she fell, but he never actually touched her. She's a girl, I can't touch her... he blushed when he thought about holding her in his arms, carassing her hair, her face.... Arggggg!!!!!!

Serena sat in the hot bath, relaxing as the heat calmed her sore muscles. Her head hung over the rim, with her now-short hair dangling below. She daydreamed as ChiChi gently scrubbed her body, making sure to remove all the dried blood from her skin.

As Serena laid there, staring at the stars in the night sky, she thought, There must be a reason I'm here. I wouldn't just be pulled out a major battle and brought somewhere else for nothing... unless... I'm dead!?

"Um, ChiChi?"

"Yes, dear?"

"You still don't know my name."

"Uh huh? What is your name?"

"Serena."

"Serena's a very pretty name." ChiChi replied. "Close you're eyes, I have to clean that hair of your's." And with one quick push, she shoved Serena underwater.

Suddenly, as the water passed over her head, a vision appeared.

She couldn't breath. She gasped for air, but the strange liguid surrounding her filled her lungs instead. When she tried to lift her arms to pull her to the surface, she found them bound to her sides. She struggled to pull free of what held her, but it was impossible.

No! She thought. I can't let them die! I have to get free! With her last bout of energy, she pulled her arms away from her body until she felt the bindings cut into her flesh. But there! Her arms were free.

No time to undo my legs! She told herself, and using her arms she frantically swam torwards the surface. Almost there!

But, just as she was a few feet away from fresh air, something grabbed her ankles pulling her down into the depths below. With her last breath, she screamed, screamed until ...

Her face erupted from the surface as she gasped, and then suddenly started crying. Frantically, she tried to escape as something grabbed her shoulders.

"Serena! Shh! It's okay!" ChiChi's voice yelled in her ear. Serena stopped, realizing that she wasn't drowning.

She shook, but tried to steady her voice as she said, "I- I'm sorry. I just kinda freaked out for a moment. Go ahead."

ChiChi stared down at herself, and then burst out laughing. "Well, looks like we both took baths, huh? Here's a towel, let me go get some dry clothes for the both of us."

A few minutes later, four people occupied the table. The Son family- ChiChi, Gohan, and his little brother Goten- and the girl ate dinner, talking occasionally. Well, ChiChi talked, and Goten listened. Gohan and Serena ate as if they'd never eaten before. It was almost as if they were having a race to see who could eat the most. Food was flying everywhere now, and bowls piled up by the second. ChiChi was blown away by the fact that such a skinny, pretty girl, could be such a pig when it came to eating, very much like Gohan.

No one mentioned the fact that they didn't really even know who the girl was, except for her name. They just acted like it was a usual evening. An evening without Goku, who died trying to destroy Cell. The girl now took his seat. The seat of course, needed to be used, because dust had been collecting on it for several months.

When the dinner was over- 90% of it eaten by the two teenagers, whose faces were covered with remains from dinner. Gohan leaned back in his chair, completely bloated. He smacked his stomache a few times and then asked, "So! What's for dessert?"

Serena stared at him. "Aren't you full yet? I mean, I ate as much as you and I'm full!"

"Nah, that was just the appetizer. Although, it could have been dinner if you hadn't eaten my half."

"You're half!"

"Yah! My half!"

"What about me? I'm the one who's supposed to be sick and injured, but healing! I'm a growing girl, I need my calcium!"

"There isn't calcuim in chicken and rice."

Serena blushed, staring down at her plate.

"Well, so-rry!" She said.
