"Serena?? Honey??" ChiChi was currently knocking on the bathroom door.

"Yes??"

"Come out and talk to me…"

"No…" Serena said as it was obvious she had been crying.

"I want to help and how can I help when you've locked the bathroom door??"

"Maybe I don't want help…" Serena said quietly. ChiChi merely sighed and walked back out the room.

"Any luck??" Goku asked.

"She doesn't want help." ChiChi said.

"Yes, she does.." Gohan said looking up from the book he was stilll reading. "She feels like a rubberband."

"What??"Bulma asked as Bra went to sleep. Vegeta was holding up  a wall minding his own  business.

"Her and Trunks had a fight.. over Bizz." Gohan said. "He told her he's doubting their whole relationship and is pretty much angry with her, Bizz is angry with her. She's pretty much upset and wants to go back home." He said then went back to his book. Videl suddenly got up and walked top the bathroom door. Vegeta shook his head and went in search of the older version of his son.

"Serena.." Videl opened the bathroom door that wasn't locked.

"Go away.." She said.

"Now you know I won't go anywhere." She said closing the door behind her. "Gohan filled everyone in on what happened."

"I know….  He  told me." She said pointing to her head. "It's a strange link in deed it can be easily opened and closed." She said.

"So.. are  you angry with Trunks??"

"No, not at all. I know what his problem is, but it still hurt when he said those things to me."

"His Problem??"

"It's a Saiyan thing!! He can't help what he's feeling.. it's that strange rush of hormoones that makes him want to protect me.."

"Wait!! Slow down.. start form the beginning!!" Videl said and Serena took a deep breath and began to explain everything that Lady Vegeta had told her that day. "Wait so this effect all saiyans at their prime??"

"Yes." She said. "But I guess since I do have Saiyan genes its worse for Trunks." She said rolling and un-rolling her tail on the floor. She then rested her head in Videls lap listening to what she had to say.

"So he has a bad case of jealousy. Guys say and do stupid stuff when their jealous."

"But he practically was making me choose between my friends.. I mean I know Bizz is suffering through the whole thing too  but  he's strong enough to force it back. He hasn't tried anything and Trunks was accusing him of differently." She sighed.

"It just how guys work, they feel a threat to their relationship and all reason is thrown out the window. Especially when they actually love the girl."  Videl said. "Hey I've got a good idea!! Well, its obvious he's probably going to fall to pieces with  you  upset so I'm thinking he'll probably manage to defeat  your father and brothers somehow I mean with you as the prize of course he's going to find the strength somehow."

"Ok…"

"So I'm thinking, when he apologizes.. lay on the charm extra thick and…."

 "Hmph" Vegeta watched his son up the gravity to three fifty and intensify his training. Vegeta noticed he had been training a lot more since Serena first left with that other guy. He couldn't believe he went and upset the lunar onna. His son knew what the hell was wrong with him because Vegeta had informed him long ago of the whole thing, so what the hell was his problem.

"What do you want??" Trunks asked suddenly.

"It's probably best I came to say something rather than Kakarot." Vegeta said and Trunks leaned against the control panel with his eyes closed. "Something you'd like to say."

"Nothing important."

"Then what the hell did  you do to that Onna?!?!"

"Tell her what exactly has been running through my mind ever since we got here!!" Trunks aid. "That part of me has been doubting everything we've ever built up!!"

"And making her choose between her and her friends??"

"He's a threat I know it, you  know it, she knows about it!!"

"Yeah then if she knows about it then why the hell are you acting the way you are?!?!" Vegeta said in an un-Vegeta like way. "She's already got her own conflicting problems back home not to mention the opposite effects of her powers."

"And why are you acting like you are?!?! You've never eally given anyone else a second thought. Sure you've had those rare occasions but you've been.. not yourself!!" Trunks didn't feel liket alking aout it anymore.

"Don't change the subject."

"That's a great idea…" Serena said quietly. "You and me…"

"Don't forget me.." ChiChi  said. "I'd like to help." She said.

"Sure… but I guess we'll  have to teach  you a few things.."  Serena smiled.

"Uhm sure I guess." ChiChi said.

"Let's start now… we have only a few weeks." Videl said.

"Sure.." Serena said standing  up. "Let's go." She said. The three females walked down several halls and found the training room. They went inside and Trunks and Vegeta were still in there talking.

"Maybe we should come back later." Videl said watching Serena stare at the floor.

"We can share." Trunks said almost gently."

"No, We're kinda up to something right now." Serena said with a small smile knowing she caught his curiosity. "and no we can't tell you."

"Why  not??" Trunks raised an eyebrow.

"Cuz I don't feel like  it!!" She said with a tiinge of hurt in her tone. That tinge didn't go unnoticed, and they were gone. Vegeta watched his son and rolled his eyes.

"Whatever you're going to do, do it soon. You just gave your opponent an advantage he might not  miss."  Vegeta said and walked away.

*~*~*~~*

"So, what's going to happen between you and purple." Bizz asked stoppping outside of a window with Serena.

"I don't know." Serena stared at the white ball a good distance from Vegeta-sei, the moon. I mena  I really want something good to happen but he doesn't seem to trust me all  that much while I'm with you. He has the idea that you're trying to break us up purposely.Although I know how you feel about me I don't think you've done anything but try to be a friend to me."

"You know??"

"Yeah, I know and I'm proud that you've been able to hold back everything. I know it isn't an  easy thing to do. Especially those two weeks we spent together."

"Well, I was always in trouble with my mom as a kid, so many times I was deprived of training time. One thing my mom taught me was that if  you really want something and you're meant to have it, just wait and it'll come to  you."

"Wise woman  your mother was." Serena said seeing Trunks at the end of the hall with his hands in his pockets.

"I'm going." Bizz said kissing her cheek. "And I know part of you does want  me.. and I will fight to bring that out." He whispered in her ear and walked away, she nervously chewed on her bottom lip and watched him go.

"Hi…" She said quietly.

"Listen, Sere, I'm sorry."

"No, You were being honest with what you've been feeling and thinking."

"I was angry."

"You were honest."

"But I was angrr that you were listening to my words but not taking them to heart."

"Because I knew what was happening. I just didn't want to choose between my friends and you."

"But what kind of friend wants you like that??"

"The best kind." She grabbed his hand and began walking. "You haven't met all of my friends. Some have magic in some form, few regular people."

"Elaborate."

"Well, when in the beginning when I was still fitting into my Sailor powers I met two people.. err doom tree people. Alan and Ann. They were brother and sister. They came to my Jr.  high as two students. Every girl in school wanted Alan, while he had it bad for me, at the time Ann wanted Darien but that's beside the point. In the end I had helped them with their problem and they were able to safely return to space. Even now I still think of Alan as one of my better friends because he easily gave me up knowing I was happier with someone else." She said. "Then there was Seiya. He really had it baad for me even knowing I had someone else. After fighting with me to get rid of Chaos we stayed as friend so him and his small trio of Scouts went back home."

"Still didn't answer my question."

"In truth they appreciate you better and then you'd realize the real differences and wouldn't appreciate the friendship."

"Because it probably would've been a disaster if it were a real relationship??" She said.

"Yeah.. something like that." She said.

"Sounds to me guys have just been falling at your feet." He stopped when they got to a secluded part of the kingdom.

"Not really.. their all just drawn to my innocence." She paused. "Yeah, actually, I think they have been falling at-" He just kissed her and she backed up against the wall.It didn't take too much time for things to get really hot and close to really heavy. She gently stroked his tail  that had been wrapped around his waist. He then lifted his head to  graon slightly, exposing his neck. She smirked a little and lightly kiss his  neck remembering Videls plan. She lightly nicked his neck while still stroking his tail that had lazily fallen from his waist. When she stopped he lowered his head to kiss her unable to help the hands that began to travel. Her tails had caught the hand ready to explore lower territory

"Trunks…." She said regaining mental strength. He pulled away with a slightly glazed over look in his eyes. "Now isn't the right time to be doing this." She said and he took a deep breath and his sense returned. "The competition is in two weeks. I'm pretty sure you can wait two more weeks." She closed her eyes fearing he would be upset again. She only felt his tail trace the outside of her face.

"I'm pretty sure I can too." He said. "Come on.. someone is looking for at least one of us." He said and they walked away. Serena made it back to her room where Videl and her mother were currently playing cards.

"Where were you??" Videl asked.

"With Trunks…" She said with a smile present on her face.

"You did it??" Videl asked.

"Yeah.. and it wasn't easy either." Serena said.

"Great… now we've got get ChiChi as ready as possible."

"Fine.. Tomorrow morning 5:30." ChiChi said and the three females smirked maliciously.
