Chapter
16
"A small leak will sink a great ship"
Serena
I
woke
up
feeling
a
bit
dizzy,
but
grinned
remembering
what
happened
last
night.
It
was
a
magical
night
which
is
better
100
times
than
any
night
I've
spend
with
Darien.
I
read
in
the
books
how
you
are
suppose
to
feel
different
and
something
like
more
of
a
woman
but...
I
don't
feel
any
different.
I'm
a
bit
sore
in
between
my
legs
and
a
little
bruised
up.
I
look
over
at
Vegeta
who
sleeps
next
to
me
without
a
sound
at
all.
Anyone
else
might
think
he
is
dead
for
he
is
still
as
a
rock,
but
I
knew
better.
I
lend
over
to
kiss
him
but
was
interrupted
by
the
door
bell-
OH
NO!
Did
my
parents
come
home
already?
I
panicked
and
never
got
dress
so
fast
in
my
life
(Luna
would
have
been
proud)
and
ran
down
the
stairs.
How
am
I
suppose
to
hide
Vegeta?
I
peeked
through
the
door
hole
to
see
who
it
is,
and
screamed.
Rei
screamed
too.
It
turned
out
we
were
both
looking
through
the
hole
at
the
same
time,
never
have
she
looked
so
scary
with
her
big
eyes
blinking
at
me.
"What
do
you
want?"
I
said
crossly
as
I
opened
the
door.
She
glares
back
at
me.
"To
check
up
on
you
and
to
be
your
parents
while
they
are
away-"
"I
don't
need
a
baby
sitter!"
I
cried.
Who
does
she
think
she
is!
"Shut
up
and
deal
with
it"
she
walks
in
the
house
without
my
permission.
"Luna
will
be
here
soon
too.
So
where
should
I
sleep?"
"In
the
dog
house"
I
said
lamely.
I
don't
want
her
in
my
house!
That
means
Vegeta
and
I
won't
have
a
moment
alone
anymore!
Thinking
of
that
made
me
blush.
"Ha
ha
very
funny"
she
said
sarcastically.
"You
don't
even
have
a
dog"
"Oh
I
guess
that
means
there
is
no
place
for
you!"
I
push
her
towards
the
opened
door.
"Thanks
for
checking
up
on
me
Rei!
Have
a
nice
day-"
"Serena!"
she
screamed
right
in
my
ears.
Ouch.
"Be
serious!
You
know
you
can't
stay
in
a
house
with
a
man
alone!"
"Fine"
I
said
dully
giving
up.
"You
can
stay
in
the
room
closest
to
a
dog
house,
Sammy's
room"
"Fine"
she
picks
up
her
bag
of
clothes.
"Where
should
I
put
these?"
I
grinned
at
her.
"In
the
trashcan"
She
glared
at
me
one
last
time
and
went
up
stairs.
I
was
making
100
pancakes
when
I
heard
Rei
scream.
She
race
down
the
stairs
(too
bad
she
didn't
trip
and
broke
her
neck...
haha)
screaming:
"SERENA!
Why
the
hell
is
he
in
your
bedroom?!"
I
picked
up
the
tray
of
burned
pancakes
that
I
messed
up
on
and
smiled
sweetly.
"Hungry
Rei?
These
are
made
just
for
you"
She
glares
back
at
me.
"Very
funny,
Serena-"
"Usagi,
why
the
hell
is
this
brat
here?"
Vegeta
floats
above
Rei
and
she
screamed
and
hid
behind
me.
I
tried
not
to
giggle.
"Rei
is
here
to
baby-sit
us"
I
replied.
Rei
looks
at
me,
back
at
him
than
back
at
me.
"You
have
been
staying
with
him?!"
she
made
Vegeta
sound
like
some
kind
of
criminal.
"Alone?!
Oh
my
gosh!
What
would
Darien
say-"
It
took
all
my
might
not
to
slap
her.
"Rei"
I
said
firmly
looking
at
her
straight
in
the
eye.
"Darien
and
I
are
over.
You
hear?
O-V-E-A-R!
Over!"
"If
this
brat
is
staying
here
than
I'm
going
back
to
my
ship"
Vegeta
floated
towards
the
door.
He
nodded
at
me,
I
know
that
means
he
will
see
me
later.
_______________________________________
Vegeta
The
woman
is
crying.
"Vegeta!
Please!
Come
back!"
she
plead.
My
son
cries
in
her
arm.
She
reaches
for
me.
I
do
not
have
a
body.
Except
for
the
light
above
the
woman,
everywhere
it
is
black.
"Vegeta!"
Bulma
screams.
Dead
bodies
came
falling
down
and
the
woman
did
her
best
to
avoid
being
crashed.
Kakarott's
body,
Piccolo's,
Krillin
and
everyone.
All
dead.
My
son
was
ripped
from
Bulma's
arms
and
thrown
on
the
floor
with
a
loud
thump.
He
dies
too.
Bulma
gasp
as
two
slender
female
hands
with
long
black
nails
wrap
themselves
around
her
neck
and
turned
it
around
twice.
I
woke
up
screaming
with
her.
Bulma's
scream
still
echoes
in
my
mind.
What
does
the
dream
mean?
Is
she
in
danger?
I
knew
then
that
I
must
return
back
to
see
how
she
is.
Usagi
will
understand.
I
pressed
the
buttons
the
boy
told
me
to
and
nothing
happened.
I
did
my
best
to
keep
myself
from
blasting
this
worthless
trash
in
front
of
me.
I
got
out
of
the
ship
with
Bulma
in
my
mind.
Suddenly,
I
came
face
to
face
with
that
woman.
My
yell
became
one
with
her
scream.
* * *
Bulma
"Woman!
What
the
hell
are
you
doing
here?
How
did
you
get
here?
And
why
are
you
here?"
Vegeta
shouts
at
me.
Oh
damn
that
man.
He's
been
gone
almost
a
month
and
doesn't
even
bother
to
say
even
a
quick
hello
before
he
goes
and
yells
at
me.
"It's
none
of
your
business
why
I'm
here!
And
what
do
you
think
you
are
doing
here
in
the
first
place?"
I
shouted
back
at
him.
He
stares
at
me
for
the
longest
time
without
any
expression.
I
looked
away
and
blushed.
"Tell
me
woman"
he
said
in
a
much
kinder
tone.
"Tell
me
the
truth.
Have
you
had
any
weird
dreams
lately?"
Of
course.
I
dream
you'll
come
back
to
me
and
say
you
love
me
back
and
we
can
be
a
real
family.
But
I
did
not
say
them
out
loud.
"Well
I
think
I
dreamed
you
actually
had
a
brain
one
time
but
that's
about
it"
I
said
lamely.
He
glares
at
me.
"How
long
you
planning
to
stay?"
he
said
rudely.
I
know
you
wants
to
get
rid
of
me
and
I'm
stupid
enough
to
believe
I
can
convince
him
to
come
home.
I
swallowed
feeling
nervous.
"Please
come
home
Vegeta"
He
looks
at
the
sky
with
such
a
hard
face.
"I
have
no
home"
he
said
dully.
"It
was
destroyed.
How
did
you
get
here
woman?
I
see
no
ship
with
you"
"Well"
I
said
trying
my
best
to
cover
my
hurt
feelings.
"I
built
a
poorly
made
ship
for
Piccolo
to
come
after
you
but
I
see
he
did
not
make
it
yet.
I
was
at
ChiChi's
when
a
beautiful
woman
came
to
me
and
said
she
can
help
me
locate
you"
"Damn
that
Setsuna"
Vegeta
swore
under
his
breath.
"Is
that
her
name?"
I
ask.
"Don't
ask
stupid
questions
woman"
Vegeta
cocks
an
eyebrow.
"How
long
are
you
planning
to
stay?"
"I
don't
know"
I
admit.
"I
don't
even
now
how
to
get
back"
"Damn"
he
swore
again.
"Come
with
me.
I'll
take
you
to
my
friend's
house.
You
can
stay
with
her
till
I
find
a
way
to
take
you
back.
Her
name
is
Usagi"
