"Uhh.. Hi guys!!!" Goku looked at his friends with his smile ever so present. Everyone was glad to have him back. Everyone missed him, but not as much as the once always lonely blonde.
"Hi!!" Everyone greeted him for a few brief moments, well everyone except Serena who was constantly staring off into some direction. She couldn't help but keep looking. A tap on her shoulder snapped her out of her reverie.
"What?!?!" She snapped but blushed at her stupidity. "Ooops!!" She immediately turned red. After a minute she jumped at Goku nearly knocking him off balance.
"I'm glad to see you too but, what are you doing here??"
"Uhmm…. I'll tell you later.. it's a story you'd rather want to sit down and hear about." She said finally letting him go.
"Right.." He said and he then flew away with Trunks to have their discussion. Serena went back to staring off in the direction she had been before.
"Serena??" Yamcha caught her attention.
"hmm??"
"What are you staring at??"
"I uhmm…" She blushed at trying to not sound dumb. "Uh… yeah." She finally finished.
"That's not much of an answer." Vegeta said.
"Well, I'm trying to word it right without sounding crazy, but I guess I would regardless." She concluded. "I hear something from that direction. It keeps calling me."
"You in particular??" Bulma asked.
"Yeah.." Serena said.
"Someone go with her!" Bulma said looking at Vegeta in particular.
"I'm not going with her!!" Vegeta said.
"GO!!!!! Or I won't fix up the Gravity machine!!" Bulma said making Vegeta glare at her.
"Let's go Onna." He said taking off. Serena gave Bulma a strange look and took off behind him.
"Do you think that was wise??" Yamcha asked and then noticed the young man from before pulled a sword on Goku.
"Hmm.." She thought to herself as Vegeta landed on the ground before her. "Somewhere around here."
"Are you coming or not??" he glared up at her getting an eyeful up her skirt. She seemed to engrossed finding what she was looking for to even hear or notice him staring.
"There!!" She landed near the water totally ignoring Vegeta at the moment and took of her weighted shoes and weightless socks. She took off her skirt and shirt leaving her in a tanktop and her underwear.
"What are you doing??"
"Swimming.." She said diving slowly walking into the cold water. She dived under quickly to get her whole body wet. "I see it.. come on.. you can help me!!" She said turning to him unaware that.. lets just say the 'headlights' were on. Vegeta of course noticed this since he had been watching her so she doesn't drown. He glared at her and didn't move.
"Please!!!!" She said. He sighed and took off the pink shirt he had been wearing and his shoes and followed her.
"Where is it??" He asked.
"See that shiny thing down there??" She pointed down and there was a faint glow at the bottom. They locked eyes for a second and they both nodded and dived together. She was quickly losing oxygen seeing how she's never really been swimming before and her strokes slowed. Vegeta rolled his eye and pulled her to him and exchanged what oxygen he had with him to her orally. They finally made it to the bottom and grabbed the shining jewel. Once again her oxygen started dying out. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the top as quickly as possible. At the surface she was literally gasping for air.
"Come on." He pulled her to shore and she wa sbreathing heavy. She looked at the jewel in her hand and it began to shine in her hands.
"That's it??" He asked blankly. "That's what we went down there for?!?" He took the jewel from her and it stopped glowing immediately, that just caught his attention and he gave it back to her. As soon as he did it began to shine once more. He took the jewel again and the light died down. "Here.." He gave it back to her and it glowed once more. "Let's go." He said and she pulled her skirt, Socks and shoes back on and they took off back to the others. They landed just as Trunks was ready to leave.
"Where'd you guys go to??" Goku asked when Vegeta and Serena landed with their hair matted to them.
"We went to find something." Serena said and handed Trunks a capsule before he climbed inside his machine. "It's another jacket. It's boyish so don't worry.. It's much too big for me so take it." She said. And he took it and then was gone. Serena looked at the round crystal in her hands. Somehow she knew it would be important to her. Then she perked up when Piccolo began explaining the conversation he had overheard Goku and Trunks had.
"Andriods…" She murmured. "Juu-chan." Came to mind immediately.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"BULMA!!!!" A voice called as soon asn Serena, Vegeta, Bulma, and Yamcha got in the house. Bulma was then glomped by a blue blur.
"A-Ami, you're choking me!!!" Bulma said stuggling against her little sister's grip.
"Hello, you're a new face." The green blue haired girl said from the doorway with her violin case in her hand.
"Me or him??" Serena asked.
"I've seen that out of control Saiyan before. I saw him this morning."
"Oh… Well, I'm Serena." Serena said extending her hand.
"I'm Michelle. The one strangling Bulma is Ami."
"I see." Serena said. "Will you be here later??" Serena shivered slightly as a reminder of her wet hair.
"Go, Dry yourself off." Michelle said. "I'll be here." Serena nodded and ran upstairs. She dried her hair and began to get dressed when she thought she saw something outside her bedroom window. She walked to the window in her Bra and underwear. She pulled back the curtain and saw a face. A guy with Black hair and blue eyes, he gave her a nervous stare and she shrieked at the top of her lungs. Within the seconds Yamcha and Vegeta rushed up to the room and she was sitting on the floor in her under clothes and her pink socks.
"What happened??"
"I saw a person outside the window." She said holding her chest.
"There's no body out there." Yamcha said.
"He was-" She cut herself off. "Forget it. You'd have to see him." She took a deep breath and sighed. Bulma, Ami and Michelle stood in the doorway watching the whole thing.
"Are you ok??" Bulma asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." She sighed.
"Then let's leave the girl to get dressed." Ami said to the two unmoving guys, who had been staring at her of course. Bulma glared at Yamcha as he left the room slightly red.
"I suggest you change in the bathroom if you don't want this 'guy' watching you again." Vegeta said to her and left without another word. She closed the door and got dressed.
She took out the crystal again and glanced at it. The glow was gone now, but kept looking at it anyway. Somehow she felt it belonged to her and she had seen it somewhere else before. Even living here at capsule Corps seemed all too familiar to her. The room, the people everything, but she was certain she had never been on Earth before.. right?? Right??? She wasn't too sure anymore and day by day she seemed to like the temperamental baka more and more in a roantic sense… in secret of course.
