"Hello Ms. Son is Serena awake yet??" Rei asked the woman at the door who was mixing batter, for breakfast. They had let Serena rest up a bit for a few days. They didn't see her when they got back from Vegeta-sei.
"No, dear. She moved out a few days ago." ChiChi said with a distant look in her eyes.
"Out??" Mina asked in shock.
"Yes, She's actually at Capsule Corps." ChiChi said with the same distant look.
"Why?? I mean did something go wrong??" Lita asked gently.
"No.. I just lost my little girl that's all!!" Chichi said as tears formed in her eyes.
"Thanks a lot Ms. Son." Rei said hurrying the girls away before she begins wailing seeing that's where Serena gets her lungs from. The three girls squeezed themselves back onto the flying nimbus and headed for capsule Corps.
"I wonder why Serena moved out. I mean she had been close with everyone in her family and it's not like a sudden argument would separate them." Mina said being the first to jump off the nimbus cloud when they arrived at Capsule Corps. They knocked on the door and Bulma opened the door with Ami at her side.
"Hi!!" Both blue haired girls greeted the females.
"Hi.." Rei grinned. "Is Serena awake yet??"
"Yeah.. I just got her up a few moments ago. She's probably looking for her hair brush." Ami said.
"What are you girls up to??" Bulma asked.
"Well, We're having a Scout meeting to update Serena and Videl. It's going to be at Videl's house and we decided to get Serena so we'd have some alone time with her before we get there!" Mina said.
"That's nice."
"Come on.. we'll probably have to drag her out of the room with one odango done. We're going to be late!" Ami said and the four females (minus Bulma) went upstairs. They knocked on a closed bedroom door. They heard a lot of shuffling and voices on the other side.
"Trunks, where is my shirt??" They heard Serena ask.
"In your hand."
"Not this one the pink one!!" She said.
"Probably on the floor. No, on the other side of the bed."
"Why is it on the floor??" She asked and no response was heard. "HENTAI!!!" Serena yelled after a minute.
"Well, you started it!!"
"No… the first time I did!!" She said and the door swung open and Serena was pulling on her shirt. "Please try to get the room cleaned up before I get back." She kissed him.
"I'll try.." he said.
"Seriously??"
"I promise." He kissed the palm of her hand.
"Good!!" She said taking her hand away and nearly ran into the four women, three were staring with their mouths open. "Trying to catch flies??" She said pulling all of her hair over her right shoulder. "Let's go we'll be late!!" She grabbed Ami's wrist and took off while the other three piled on the flying nimbus again. When they landed outside of Videl's house the three were still gaping. They got inside and saw the outers sitting down sipping some tea.
"Hime!!!" The three said and Serena hugged them all.
"How was your trip??" Hotaru asked.
"It was great.. a really long story about everything but I promise to tell you."
"Ok.." Hotaru said and Videl came back.
"My parents won't be back untill tomorrow meaning we can talk about the scout stuff all we want."Videl said setting down some refreshments. "And there's lots so don't worry about your apetite Serena."
"Actually I'm not hungry… now." Serena said.
"YOU SHARE A ROOM WITH TRUNKS?!?!?!" Mina finally snapped out of her stupor. That outburst brought Amara to attention.
"What?!?!"
"It kinda mixes in along with the rest of my story about Vegeta-sei." Serena said fliiping her hair that had been over her right shoulder over her left now.. and a now permanent mark was showing. Amara stood up and tilted Serena's head.
"What the hell is this??"
"It looks like the mark Trunks had on his neck.." Rei said. And Lita nodded.
"Oh!!! You two are mates now!!" Mina blurted out. Amara sighed and sat down.
"Yeah…" Serena said. "The mark didn't hurt that badly. It' s just annoying when I forget to block out my thoughts and he listens in." She frowned.
"You can hear each other's thoughts??" Ami asked.
"Yeah.. it comes with the whole matting process. We can feel what the other is feeling, we know when something's wrong with the other, we hear each other's thoughts and it can be hard to hide things."
"So it just equalizes the wavelengths of your souls so they're in perfect sync??" Ami asked.
"Yup!!!" Serena said letting her tail hang loosely around her waist.
"So you got to keep it??" Videl asked eyeing the 'belt' she had on.
"Yeah.. everyone kept theirs.." Serena said.
"Keep what??" The others looked at the two.
"You're not ready for this one yet." Serena said. "Trust me I'll tell you, but I doubt you're ready.
"Fine.." Michelle said cutting Amara off before she could protest against Serena's opinion. "You're entittled to you secrets.."
"So what did I miss while we were gone??"
"Icebox was being a cry baby." Rei said. "He came to us once a day trying to convince us to tell him where you were when in truth we didn't know where you were."
"He didn't believe us and attacked us on a daily basis." Lita said.
"You know the final battle will come sooner than we thought." Serena said.
"huh??"
"He'll probably realize I'm back and then keep an eye on me and will try to come between the closeness of Trunks and myself." She said. "He'll probably try and kill Trunks and that would be bad."
"Bad?? Bad how?? " Videl asked.
"you don't know??" Serena asked. "Our hearts are pretty much connected as one.. and if one of us dies the other is very likely to die as well. It's an undying pain here." She put a hand over her heart. "From what I know of it is that the pain usually becomes unbearable and makes the person weak.."
"Until they die…" Hotaru blinked and everyone became silent taking in this new knowledge. Serena broke the awkwardness.
"So… Videl" Serena noticed the dark haired girl rubbing her neck. "Where's my brother?? He's got to be here somewhere!!!"
"Uh…" Videl began blushing and stopped rubbing her neck. "In the shower now…" Serena began laughing.
"See, that's what you get for making fun of my situation with Bizz and Trunks… " Serena said. "Although… I still don't see how you, Gohan and Teero managed to keep your situation a secret until the day of the arena.
"Uhmmm, yeah well you see.. we kinda hid behind your problem. I mean how often does the son of the prince is fighting for someone who is two different species, from a family that isn't even one of her species." Videl said. "And I didn't want to fight Gohan because he needed his energy for the battle for you!"
"uh-huh.. I'm sure.." Serena said snatching Videl's hand from her neck showing she too was marked, and it was a recent one. "Ok that one's paiful!! It's a deep one too." Serena said.
"Yeah.. no one warend her that by holding it off makes the result bigger and worse." Gohan said and Serena laughed. The Scouts just shook their heads.
"What an interesting life Hime has in this dimension." Michelle said, The other nodded.
