********Recap*****************
"Trunks….I'm still waiting……"
"Serena…you can't go because….because I…I….I love you!"
********************************
~~~~~~~Serena's POV~~~~~~~~~~~
"Serena…you can't go because….because I…I….I love you!" rang
throughout my head. I was stunned. Shocked. Astounded. I'm not sure what I
was expecting him to say, but whatever it was, it wasn't this. By now, I comprehended nothing else.
I kept on thinking, 'He loves me?'
He loves me…and I know I have feelings for him. But was it love? And if so, what kind of love? Love for a friend, a brother…or
love….for a lover. This was all too
confusing! And I don't know if he loves
me or my power!
'Oh mother help me!' I silently cried out.
"Serenity…..' my mother's voice rang throughout my
mind.AN:…btw..this is all happening inside her mind…as you can prob
tell!^-^
"Mother…I need help…he…he…and I…I…I DON'T KNOW IF I LOVE
HIM!!"
"Are you sure daughter?'"
"What do you mean mother?"
"Listen to your heart daughter. Do you honestly not know if you love him, or are you just
afraid?" At this, I thought. My heart
and my mind were conflicting. My heart
said to go for it. My mind said not to
risk the chance that he may be lying to me.
"I…I…I don't want to be used." My mother smiled at me softly.
"Would you be happy? Truly happy?"
"I…I don't know…but.."
"Would you want to risk it?" My mother asked. At that instant, I knew my answer.
***********End Serena's POV************
"Serena….."Trunks looked at her sadly. She didn't say anything. He knew he was a fool to ever have thought
that she might have harbored the same feelings towards him. In a burst of ki, he flew off. At that moment, Serena shook out of her
thoughts. She looked just in time to
see Trunks fly off.
"TRUNKS! WAIT!!"
Trunks made no move to stop, so I flew after him. He was fast and every time I would come close to catching up with
him, he would just gain speed. Finally
he disappeared from my sight.
"C'mon Trunks..where are you?" I asked into the night sky,
but I knew I would receive no answer. Finally, I sensed it. His power
level, just in that clearing ahead. I
couldn't help but smile as I realized what clearing he had took refugee
in. It was the same clearing the inners
and I had arrived in, incased in a crystal prison. That was when the Z team had first seen us, but they don't
remember. We made sure of that.
"Trunks……"Trunks turned around when he heard Serena call out
his name.
"Leave me alone." He replied. Serena merely smiled.
"No."
"Leave me alone."
"Not until I say what I came to say."
"I know what your going to say! Your going to say that you don't feel the same way! That it will never happen! Your going to say that your sorry and that
you hope we can just be friends! Well,
guess what?!?! I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND-I CAN'T BE YOUR FRIEND! NOT WITH THE WAY I FEEL!!" Trunks watched as
Serena took a step back, hurt flashing through her eyes.
"That…that wasn't what I was going to say." Serena said
approaching him.
"What were you going to say th-"Trunks was cut off as Serena
kissed him. He was shocked for a few
second, but quickly recovered and responded. Serena wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around
her tiny waist.
********************************
"YYYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!!" Destiny crowed, watching the scene
before her.
"I knew sending her those dreams would pay off!"Fate
grinned, watching Trunks and Serena kiss. The clearing was bathed in moonlight, and surrounded by flowers and
trees. It was a romantic scene.
"Sere deserves happiness. She's done so much for Earth."
"So love….what do I deserve?" Fate asked.
"This." And with
that, a llloooonnnnnggggg silence followed.
**********************************
After what seemed like an eternity in heaven and bliss,
Serena and Trunks broke apart, gasping for breath.
"I was going to say, I love you too." Serena grinned, looking at Trunks, her eyes
mirroring the love and compassion in Trunk's eyes.
"Mmm.." Trunks replied, still dazed by the kiss. Suddenly, Serena's eyes widened and she cupped
a hand over her mouth. Trunks, having
broken out of this dazed kiss, tried to think of what would make his tenshi do
this.
"THE OTHERS!" Serena remembered and with this, both blasted
off.
**********************************
"The Hall of Misery? What's that?" 18 prodded.
"Its this really long hall. It looks like a vast emptiness. However, as soon as you step foot in it, all your greatest nightmares,
all your fears, great or small, comes together. They haunt you. Torture
you. Not only that, but you…well…" Rei stopped.
"Will what? You will
what?" ChiChi prodded.
"Well, you will be tortured in as many other ways as
possible. You are totally alone as no
one sees what you see and you cannot see what others see. Also, it is made so that you can see no one
else…and any emotions you feel, which is usually around pain and fear is
intensified. If you feel happiness
however, the feeling is diminished as quickly as possible. In other words, it is worse than hell."
Amara continued.
"Oh…is that all..?" Yamcha was REALLY nervous now. He was not the only one, as was everyone
else. The Hall of Misery did NOT sound
like a good place…nope, not at all!
"And who were the last people sentenced there?" Chou-zu
asked.
"Two men…they were from a different galaxy. They were chauvinistic pigs. They believed that all women were weak. They had no respect for women, believing
they were only good for the housework and…erm…pleasure. Considering that the higher powers in the
galaxy, with the exception of Earth, were the Queens of the planets, and the
highest power was the queen of the moon. The princess tolerated them, but then they began to hassle her mother,
Queen Serenity. They knew that she was
the queen of the galaxy, yet they still harassed her. Queen Serenity was furious, though not as furious as her
daughter. The princess summoned them to
the courtroom and sentenced them to the Hall of Misery. That was the first time anyone had ever seen
the princess punish another so severely." Hotaru answered.
"Weren't the people of the galaxy the men came from
angered?" Bulma asked.
"It turns out the galaxy they came from were also under one
rule. A queen. They were all warriors. They were all revolted that their own men
were so weak. And all were aghast by the
men's views on women. They were only
too happy to let us punish them." Ami answered.
"Oh."
**********************************
"Serenity and Beryl will pay for taking away my throne! They will die by the one who 'loves' them
most!" Endymion was currently throwing random blasts out and laughing insanely.
***********************************
"Ladies and gentlemen! You heard it here on ZTV! Mr.
Satan will once again, save the world from distruction!" an annoying reporter was crying out. Crowds are heard cheering in the background
as Mr. Satan and his daughter, Videl step out of the building they were
in. AN:…hey…needed someone that the
rest of the people on earth will be cheering on…so I figured…why not?
************************************
"59 bottles of beer on the wall, 59 bottles of beer. You take one down, pas-"Mina was interrupted
by an agitated Piccalo.
"WILL YOU QUIT THAT SCREECHING!!?!?!"
"SCREECHING?!?!??! HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME!!!!"
"HOW DARE I INSULT YOU??!?!! HOW DARE YOU TORTURE US AND
MAKE US LISTEN TO YOUR SCREECHING!!"
"WHY YOU LIT-" once again, Mina was interrupted.
"KNOCK IT OFF!!!" Amara was glaring at the two.
"Sorry…" Mina looked and fiddled with her hand.
"Humph! She
shouldn't have screeched." Piccalo
nonchalantly said.
"She was singing! Not screeching, SINGING! S-I-N-G-I-N-G! AND QUIT PICKING ON HER!"Amara glared at Piccalo.
"Humph!" Piccalo harrumphed. Mina glanced at Amara and Piccalo, who were having a glaring
contest. Slowly, an idea started to
take place within her head. She would
have to fill Goten in later, but he would probably get the idea! Now, to start!
"Ahem…Amara…what kind of traits would you want in a guy?"
Mina asked sweetly. Everyone looked at
her as if she had grown another head. Amara raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
"Oh…I was just thinking that you and Piccalo made an
adorable couple." Mina stated simply. Goten grinned as he realized what she was doing.
"WHAT!!?!?!?!" Piccalo and Amara shouted.
"You know, now that she mentions it….."Goten began.
"I WOULD NEVER GO OUT WITH THAT…THAT…THAT…" Amara and
Piccalo said in unison.
"And they even think the same!" Mina and Goten 'jumped' the
best they could in the marble seat, which wasn't very well considering they
were rooted to the seat.
Amara and Picallo looked at each other, then turned their
face away, a blush slowly appearing as they continued to look at the other from
the corner of their eyes.
"Aww….they're blushing!"
"Silence!" Trista shouted. At everyone's glance, she continued, gesturing her hand towards the
door. "The princess has arrived." The scouts gulped and turned towards the
door. The Z team looked towards the
door.
"Lets begin, shall we?" Serena, now Serenity stood at the
door. Trunks was behind her.
*******************************
In the center of the universe, the 'mini-stars' were still
gathering. Each seemed to glow even
brighter before. Their chant differed
in only one way. Instead of chanting,
"Soon, the awakening will begin." They were chanting, "The awakening has taken
place."
*******************************
"Eheheh…Princess…you know us…we meant no harm…" Lita grinned
innocently, capturing the attention of 17.
"You were spying on me." Serena stated simply.
"Spying??…No…no..no!!! You've got it all wrong…you see…we were um..trying to um….make sure you
were safe!" Goten smiled innocently.
"Is that right?"
"Hai!" everyone replied.
"Z team, you know that Trunks would keep me safe. And scouts, you know VERY well that I can
defend myself…furthermore, not only did you spy on me, on us, but your lying as
well."
"……" everyone glanced at each other.
"You said we were in trouble." The Z team looked at the
scouts.
"She's being unusually calm." The scouts replied.
"Oh, but I haven't decided if I should yet." Serena smiled
sweetly.
"Should?? No princess! You don't have to! Honestly! We insist!!" Amara looked wildly from one scout to
another.AN:..i kno…she's OOC
*She's cute when she's nervous.* Piccalo mentally slapped
himself as he thought this.
"You know what happened to the last group of people who were
brought to the meeting room."
"Hai Serenity-hime!"
"And do you remember what they did?"
"Hai!"
"Good. Just
checking. Now, I have only one thing to
say to you all." Serena said, grinning slyly.
"Sere…you wouldn't REALLY put us in the Hall of Misery would
you?" Michelle asked.
"Maaaayyyybbbbeeee……"
"But Sere, you know us, we meant no harm!"
"Hai, I know, and that is why I'm letting you off easy this
time. All of you will merely have
timeout here."
"TIME OUT!!!?!!?!" everyone screamed.
"Hai…that is…unless you have something you want to say?"
Serena asked, a warning in her voice.
"Nope! Just making
sure!" and with that, Mina and Goten began to flirt.
"Rena, don't you think you should go easy on them?" Trunks asked, carelessly slinging an arm
around Serena's shoulder. Seeing this
Vegeta grinned. AN:..he's gonna be REALLY OOC right now."
"YYEESS!!!! IN YOUR FACE KAKOROT!AN: spelling? LOOK WHO I'M GOING TO GET AS A
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW!! BEAT THAT!! HA!!" Vegeta cried out grinning madly. Everyone stared at him and blinked. Serena and Trunks resembled riped
tomatoes. Bulma and Bra were still
staring at Vegeta, shocked.
"Um…yeah…so…lets go to sleep everyone! No punishment. You sitting here and worrying about your punishments were enough
I think. Besides, we got one week to
spend together. Lets go to bed
alright?" And with that everyone found that they could now move from their
seats. It took a miller-second for them
all to run out of the room, and into the kitchen or the den.
"Uh…ok…" Serena blinked. She turned to Trunks and grinning, gaved him a peck on the cheek before
running to the kitchen. He stood there
for a minute, grinning goofily.
"I KNEW IT! I AM THE MAN!!" and with that…he sped off.
************************************
"So Serena…Trunks…heheh….whats your relationship towards
each other?" Mina, Bulma, and ChiChi grinned evily as all eyes turned to Serena
and Trunks. Trunks blushed profusely as
Serena grinned.
"Everyone, meet Prince Trunks, of the Earth and planet
Vegeta kingdom." At this, all the scouts' eyes widened and they immediately
either bowed to him or curtsied. Trunks'
eyes widened and he fidgeted nervously. Vegeta smirked.
"They know how to respect royalty." At this, all the scouts
glared at him.
"We're royalties too remember?!?!!" Amara glared at him,
along with Rei and Lita.
"Enough of this, we must prepare for tomorrow now. As everyone knows, it will be a very-"Serena
stopped, her eyes searching around the room. She jumped into the air, made a hand gesture and her hand closed into a
fist.
"EVERYONE DUCK!"
