The sun was shining and Serena waas running through a field of flowers. The sun was bright and everything couldn't be more perfect. Actualy a lot of things could've made things so much more perfect, but right now that wasn't on her mind. Nothing was on her mind while she was busy braiding a crown out of daisies. Then all of a sudden everything went dark, the sun was gone and storm clouds came up. Then there waas laughter, that familiar laughter, then he was there.
"Serenity.." He smiled at her a smile that made him seem boyish and human. He was rather cute.
"W-why are you here???"
"I've come to see you." He pulled her close into a bruising kiss. She pushed away from him and he stumbled back in surprise. "Why do you keep resisting me?!?!" He asked angrily. She could feel the Power radiate off of him.
"Because I don't love you.. and when I resisted you the first time you killed my friends."''
"I knew they wouldn't stay hidden for long and you'd be reunited with them again… that was a simple warning." He said producing crystal many of them one each holding a person she holds dear to her.
"Let them go!!!!" She said watching him shatter each one in front of her eyes.
"This is just another warning. Stop resisting me."
"But I'd be unhappy." She said. "Eternally unhappy because I DON'T LOVE YOU!!!" She yelled.
"You can't protect them forever, love.. remember that." He said. "They'll all die when you least expect them to.."
" Not if I kill you first!!!" She began attacking him with what little martial arts knowledge she had. It seemed that none of it was fazing him and he just simply shoved her away. "Stop resisting me." He said but she simply got up and started attacking him despite the fact the world around her began to crumble… then she was falling.
"Serena.." A Person was shaking her
"I'll Kill you!!" She screamed and took a good punch at the one disturbing her from her sleep.
"Odango Atma, where'd you learn to punch like that."
"I'm not Odango Atma!!!" She screamed.
"I see she's awake." A green person resembling Piccolo on some level walked in with a cane in his hands.
"You know… I bet you'd be rather cute if you were human." She blurted out, making the green guy sweat drop.
"God.. you've turned into Mina…" The person she decked before groaned rubbing his head.
"Darien!!!!" Serena squealed ready to get up but noticed the extra weight on her left foot before standing. She threw back the covers and inspected her leg and there was a cast on her ankle. "I finally broke something, huh??" She said. "One would've thought I'd do it during a klutz attack." She murmured. "Where am I??"
"On Dende's lookout." Darien said giving her a pair of crutches. "That's Dende…"
"Hi.. I'm Serena Son!!!" She grinned and held out her hand balancing herself on the crutches.
"Son??" Dende cocked his head to the side. "As in Gohan and Goku Son??"
"My twin and father…" Serena said finding it slightly difficult to walk with crutches. "Care to explain why I'm here??" Serena asked.
"Well I can answer that." Darien said still shifting his jaw to make sure it isn't broken. "I was on earth searching for the Dragon balls, seeing how that Icebox was looking for them himself." Darien said. "I had just picked up one when I saw you run by… You had been tricked by a youma and I destroyed it ancd brought you here."
"You broke your ankle when your legs went into a paralysis mode." A young woman with Red/brown hair said.
"Beryl…" Serena cocked her head to the side seeing the woman only her aura wasn't negative.
"Hai.. After our last battlle I was sent here as a punishment.. to live as a human and to give me a chance at life." She explained.
"I see." Serena said. "How long have I been here.."
"Two weeks." Everyone said together.
"Oh no… my mom's probably having a cow right about now." She said. "I don't even want to think of how dad's taking this.
"We'll take you home as soon as you get caught up with your homework." Beryl said smiling while some books and paper materialized.
"Oh no… homework.. Mom will be glad I got this done." Serena sat on the floor pouting making Darien laugh.
"Well at least you'll be smarter.." A Familiar grey kitten said.
"Diana?!?!"
"Hi Ms. Son." Videl said when the door opened at capsule corps.
"Hi Videl.. You've got all of Gohan's homework assignments??" ChiChi asked her usual question only nhow it was a rather lazy question.
"Yes.." Videl held up the extra backpack. "ChiChi.." Bulma came into the room.
"You should be resting.." ChiChi said looking at the beautiful little girl in Bulma's arms right then.
"You should too.." Bulma said. "I've been awake with Bra all night.. and Vegeta was with her only until I was able to walk around.. saiyan baka.. but Sere will be back.. and you'd want to be rested when she comes back right??"
"But I'd also like to awake when she comes back!!"
"But it would be nice if you were rested too." Bulma retorted and the two women began glaring at eachother.
"Why don't you rest together.. I'll order out a lot of food or something" Videl said.
"Fine.." The two older women said walking off to the couch where everyone had moved to sit down at.
"So I take it no word about Serena.." Videl said earning silence.
"18 and I have searched our designated area and found nothing."
""All of us as well." Mina said representing the inners not noticing Ami taking apart her computer.
Us too." Amara said for the outers.
"Piccolo nor I have been able to find her." Gohan said.
"Us either…" Goku said for him Goten and Chibi Trunks.
"Nothing.." Mirai said for Yamcha as well. ChiChi just stared at one point with her face void of emotion.
"I found nothing.." Vegeta said.
"She's gone… for good."
"Actually on the move." Ami said looking at the computer screen. "If I've done this correctly, and I think I have, she's currently on the move and is headed in this direction." She said having everyone's attention. "She should be here in a few minutes." She said having her computer snatched from her hands.
"How'd you do that??"ChiChi said earning a stare from Ami.
"I had to extend my range.. I couldn't find anything because she was far out of range." Ami said. "Although according to what I'm picking up.. she's flying."
"She can't fly yet.." Videl said. " I haven't gotten that far to teaching her."
"Prepare to fight??" Mina asked.
"To be safe.. yes." Rei said and everyone agreed that would be the best way to do it… everyone but Gohan.
"Gohan you heard??" Videl asked shaking him.
"What??"
"We're going outside to prepare for a fight."
"There's no need." He said blinking way too much.
"You ok??" Lita asked.
"Yeah.. but there's no threat.. not now at least." He said earning questioning stares. "I keep getting the image of a dark haired guy.. really skinny.. maybe blue eyes." He said making the scouts exchange looks. "A Grey cat??"
"Diana.." Luna said. "she found him!!! Artemis you hear that!!!"
"Yeah I heard it Luna." The white cat said and the doorbell rang. And the Z Fighter prepared regardless of everything that was just said.
"DARIEN I WANTED TO RING THE BELL!!!!" A Familiar scream was heard and everyone rushed to the door.
"What's your problem its just a doorbell.." Darien said when the door was opened.
"I wanted to push the doorbe- Hi Minna-Chan!!!" She said smiling at the people. Diana snuck in under everyone's legs.
"Serena!!!!" ChiChi was ready to rush forward but Bulma cut her off and let them inside. He set her down on the couch and the whole Sailor group lined up to hug the man.
"Darien… It's nice to see you again." Rei said being first in line.
"Darien!! God don't you ever change the way you do your hair!!!" Mina said.
"Yes.. but what about you and the bow Ai no Megami.."
"It's my trade mark." She said. Then Lita, Ami, Michelle, Hotaru.
"I refuse to hug you.." Amara held out her hand.
"Then I'll hug you." Darien grinned and hugged the girl.. she slowly returned the hug.
"Never again will you touch me!!" She said pulling away. Videl stood there looking at the floor with a blush on her cheeks.
"Uhmm I guess I should call you Darien… right, Endy??" She said.
"Videlera.." He smiled and hugged her as well.
"I thought you had forgotten me."
"Nope.. how can I forget when you were fiancee's prankful cousin."
"Easily.." Videl said.
"So where were you Serena??" Gohan sat on one side of the couch while Trunks sat on the other side.
"Where Darien made me do all the homework I missed!!" She said. "But to be truthful I met Dende.. a really nice guy.. erm namekian." She said. "But I guess it makes sense because well, Darien was the prince of earth our time but he's helping the guardian of earth.. kind of like a trainee until it's Darien's turn to be guardian." She said.
"That should've been the first place to check.. Dende's lookout." Trunks said. "But we're glad to have you back."
"I had to be back because I'll finally be done with highschool in a few weeks."
"Three to be exact.!!" Videl sat on Serena's lap, casually.
"Yup… and you don't know how glad I am!!" Serena said.
"Don't forget about college." Trunks said smiling at the pout on Serena's face.
Everyone seemed to miss the look of michief on the Saiyan Prince's face when he watched the future version of his son smile widely at his 'girlfriend'. He had noticed the slight change in his son since he and Serena had begun to get close as friends. It's a very subtle change.. so subtle that only Vegeta had been able to detect it for what it truly is… desire. Things couldn't be better especially since he had been able to get Trista to do a 'favor' for him. There were no strings attached to his plan, no consequences whatsoever… and it would be a great 'learning' experience.. especially for the future version of his son. For the first time Vegeta actually did something that didn't require him to be so selfish. Wait until after their graduation. It will be a 'vacation' to never forget.
