Amethyst here. I figured I'd leave Selenity's notes there cause I've got nothing better to say right now. Oh well, here we go!
New Love
Chapter 2: Comfort for one.....and
seeing doubles for the other
By: Amethyst
Serena saw Goku about to collapse from sheer exhaustion, so she guided him to a couch and sat down next to him.
"Why are you so sad? What has happened to you?" she asked.
Goku looked at the girl next to him, wondering why she would care for a stranger. 'She's how I was before....before my life crumbled' he thought sadly. "I have no one. I have no reason to live. My wife has left me, and I feel so alone," he whispered.
Serena understood. "That isn't any reason to feel that you have no reason to live. My husband has just cheated on me, but I stand strong, for myself and for my daughter. If I don't, no one will be there for her," she said.
Goku realized that she was going through the same thing as he was. "How can you stay so happy, and carefree? You act as if it makes no difference." he states.
"I know there's a reason why it all happened. I look towards a brighter future. You should not stay here and drown in your sorrows. You should mourn, strengthen, and move on with your life," she replied.
"I have two sons, one is grown, and the other I can't even look at him without thinking of her. It just hurts so much," he said, tears starting to trickle down his cheek. Serena hugged him as he cried, and tears started to trickle down her own face, thinking about her situation,
"It's okay to cry you know. I've realized that. You should get your emotions out. But don't keep mourning something that can never change. Be strong, for yourself, and for your sons," she whispered into his ear.
"Thank you," he whispered, but he kept holding her, for her warmth and support.
Reenie walked into a room downstairs, after changing into a white halter top and jeans. She saw three girls talking, all looking her age.
"Hello, can I come in?" she asked, waiting for a response.
Bra turned around,, hearing a voice, and saw her. "Sure, come on in. I'm Bra, and these two are Pan and Marron. What's your name?" asked Bra.
"My name's Rena, but everyone I've known calls me Reenie," said Reenie, walking over and sitting down on the bed.
"We were just talking about Goten, Pan's uncle, and Trunks, Bra's brother. Plus Mirai Trunks, Bra's brother from the future. Have you met them yet? They're so cute, and they're only 15, that's two years older than us," said Marron, moving her ponytail.
"How old are you?" asked Pan.
"I'm 13 also, and no, I haven't met them. Are they here now?" asked Reenie.
"Yeah! Come on, we'll show you them," said Pan, getting up. The four girls headed to the game room, and snuck in. Goten and Trunks were watching something on T.V., and when they got closer, Bra whispered, "Oooh, you guys are watching the bad channels, aren't you" Goten and Trunks jumped, and Reenie giggled.
"What are you doing in here Bra?" asked Trunks, turning around. Looking at the group, he saw a new girl. "Hi, my name's Trunks, what's yours?" he asked.
"We're showing Reenie who you guys were. And you're lucky Mom didn't come in here and catch you. Where's Mirai anyway?" asked Bra, sitting down next to Goten, who squirmed, trying to move over.
"Mirai's getting the sodas and popcorn. You want to join us?" asked Goten.
"Sure!" said Reenie, sitting down on a lazy recliner. She saw a guy that looked just like Trunks come in, with 2 cases of sodas in his hand.. She looked from Trunks, to Mirai, then back to Trunks.
Goten snickered. "Yeah, they look so much alike it's creepy, isn't it? Now you see how I feel, having two of them for best friends." he said.
Marron sat herself on one side of Trunks, and Pan on the other. Bra and Reenie giggled at the look of aggravation on Trunks face.
"Who are you?" asked Mirai, sitting down next to Goten.
"I'm Rena, but everyone calls me Reenie," said Reenie, taking a can on Coke and drinking it down in one gulp.
Marron looked at her shocked. "Are you a sayjin?" she asked.
"A sayjin, what's that?" asked Reenie confused.
"Don't worry about it now, it's a long story," said Mirai, leaning back into the couch.
"So what movie shall it be: Scary Movie, Kingdom Come, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Waiting To Exhale, or Dirty Dancing?" asked Trunks, flipping through the channels.
"I wanna see Scary Movie," exclaimed Goten.
"I'm all for it," said Trunks.
"No, I want to see How Stella Got Her Groove Back," said Marron.
"No way! I want to see Waiting to Exhale," said Bra.
"Let's watch Dirty Dancing," said Pan.
"I'm for Kingdom Come, what about you Reenie?" said Mirai.
"I'm for it too. I mean, I'm sure all of you have seen Scary Movie a billion times now, Stella's been out for a year now, you can get it on tape, Waiting To Exhale is the same thing. Dirty Dancing's too old. Kingdom Come's the best choice." said Reenie. The others grudgingly agreed, and Trunks changed to the movie.
At about 5:15, halfway through the movie, Reenie wondered where Serena was. She excused herself then went looking for her mother. After checking about ten rooms, she was about to give up, but then she passed a room with her mother and a guy sleeping arms around each other. 'How cute! I'm glad she's getting over Dad' she thought, heading back to the game room. She noticed Pan and Marron had fallen asleep on Trunks shoulders, much to his discomfort. Bra and Goten were talking silently, and Mirai was still watching the movie.
She went and sat next to him, snapping him out of his reverie. "Tuning them out, huh? Not a bad idea," she said to him. Mirai smiled and turned back to the movie.
After 15 minutes, Reenie drifted off to sleep on Mirai's shoulder. He kissed her forehead, and let her sleep in his lap, after covering her with some blankets.
--------------------------------------
How's ya like it? Something
might happen with Reenie and Mirai. I was thinking about adding 17
and 18, but making them the same ages as the others, and making some trouble.
What do you think? Review and let me know. And maybe next chapter
I'll have Darien's (the evil brute) response to Serena's disappearance.
