Chapter 17

"We live as we dream, alone"

Serena

Vegeta has a son. A son!! So I was not his first in bed... Somehow even though it didn't surprise me, knowing that he has a son just shattered my fantasies. So he brings his wife to my house so he can go and to think? Gesh! What is he going to use to think? Certainly he doesn't have a brain or he wouldn't have done this! Why didn't he tell me? Is he planning to make me pregnant than leave me to go to another damnation and get another past lover pregnant??!! OH I AM SO MAD! But I can't think about it now, I was going to tell Darien that it is over but... Now I found out Vegeta has a wife and a son. What is he going to do? Who is he going to keep? I won't let him abandon Bulma and his son like this but I don't want to loose him either!
But first thing's first. I have to deal with Darien.
"Hello?" I said as calmly as I could.
"Meatball head? Hey. I was just going to tell you I'm going to pick you up after school k?"
"Well..." I twirled the strands of my hair feeling guilty. Perhaps he heard the doubt in m voice because he said my real name, which he rarely say.
"Serena..." his voice trailed off. "Are you still with Vegeta?"
"Who told you about him?" I said quickly. "Did you know him before too? In the past?"
"No meatball head. I knew about him but I never got to know him in person. Rei has told me the story. You and him were together even before you and I were. If you want to be with him, I understand"
I felt like my body has gone numb. Why can't I move? Why do I feel weird?
He took my silence as a chose. "Good bye Serena" he said ever so sadly. "I'll always love you"
He hung up the phone and left me listening to the dial tone. Tears began pouring down my face. Why?
Rini's face came to my mind. My future daughter, with Darien.
Vegeta has a son and a wife.
We have gone our separate ways long time ago, who are we uniting that path now?

Vegeta

Where I am does not matter. Where my heart is does. My dream, is it a way of telling me the earth woman needs me more? And my son...
Usagi has a daughter later on but not with me... Her fate has already been sealed and ready. What is stopping me from getting what I want? Why should I care about leaving the woman?
Because after knowing Usagi more she has changed me. She taught me to be a better person.
I am torn between the right thing to do and what I want to do. First, I must stop thinking of being selfish and stop thinking of ways to kill Setsuna.
If I leave with the woman, Usagi will go back with that pretty earth boy, have her daughter and be the queen of this place.
By stealing her, I am also ruining her. I'm too tired to think anymore.

Bulma

Usagi went to go answer the phone, which gives me time to explore this place. Her bedroom is a bit childish but nice looking. I see a picture frame and examine it. It's a photo of Usagi and the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen. A head taller than Usagi with dark jewel eyes. He looks around eighteen or so.
Usagi came back. Pointed at picture and asked, "Who's that good looking young man?"
Her pretty face dropped to a sad sorrow. "My ex boyfriend Darien"
"You broke up with him?"
"Yes" she said and took a sip from her soda. "For Vegeta"
I gasp and pretended to have a heart attack. "Why would you do that?! You dumped this prince for a bum like Vegeta?! Why?!"
She stares at with those crystal blue eyes. I wish I would trade eyes with her. "You Bulma, of all people, should understand why"
I looked away so she wouldn't see my tears.

Serena

Though Bulma must be in her twenties I feel like it's a sleepover with one of my friends! She's so much fun!
"Once" she said. "Vegeta needed a shirt and all I had left for him to borrow was this bright pink one"
I felt my eyes widen and whispered, "So? Did he wear it?"
Bulma nodded with a twinkle in her eyes. So we stayed up till three in the morning talking and giggling. She told me funny stories about Vegeta which had me laughing till I couldn't breath. Our fun was interrupted by a knock and a witch came in.
"You guys still aren't asleep yet?" Rei said. She must have just woke up cause her hair is a mop of mess. I covered my mouth to keep from dying of laughter.
"What's wrong with you meatball head?" she said with a glare.
"You look like the bride of Frankenstein! No! The bride of Chad!" and I cracked up.
"Whatever, I swear Serena you are so immature" Rei said and tried her best to fix her afro. "There's no more drinking water"
"Than drink from the toilet" I said plainly. She glares at me and walks away and I cracked up again. Bulma joins me.
