If there is anything in my story that you feel is offensive or you recognize it from some movie or book, I am sorry. I don't mean to cause offense and anything besides Dragonball Z or Sailor Moon will most likely be coincidental. Otherwise, I don't own it.
Prologue
Goku was more nervous than he had ever been in his life. Not only was ChiChi having their third child, but she has been in labor for almost 24 hours. He was told to stay out of the room because he was even more jumpy than ChiChi was and he was aggravating her.
"Goku, sit down. You're making me dizzy."
Goku looked at his best friend, Krillin, and smiled. He was glad that his family and friends were here. He wasn't good at these things. "Sorry, Krillin," He apologized. "It's just been so long."
"You don't need to apologize," Krillin said. "I understand."
He sat down and looked around him.
Gohan and Goten lay sleeping on one of the double chairs to the right of him. It had been around midnight when ChiChi's water broke and they had just now fallen asleep. Gohan was twelve and Goten was almost two. They were both smart kids; taking after their father in looks and their mother in brains.
Trunks, who was a year older than Goten, was sitting in the chair next to them. He was fighting to keep his eyes open. He's been excited about this baby from the time he found out it was coming. He wanted it to be a boy so that he could teach the baby how to fight and spit and do all of the things he and Goten will learn how to do.
Bulma was in a chair next to Trunks and although she didn't show it, she was as worried as Goku was. She's part of the reason Trunks is so excited. Throughout ChiChi's pregnancy, she's been to the Son house almost everyday and Trunks was brought along with her.
Vegeta was standing next to her with his back to the wall and his eyes closed. He seemed to be the least enthusiastic to be here, but he was, none the less, here. That meant something, although Vegeta would never admit it.
Krillin, along with 18 and their newborn, Marron, was sitting to the left of Goku. Neither adult was asleep, but the baby was.
For some reason, everyone has been excited about this new baby. It's as if they are expecting something odd or special to happen. The way ChiChi acted was one of the reasons they could tell something was going to happen. Instead of her usual yelling, she was as cheerful and happy as she's ever been. It was startling at first, but then it turned out to be a good thing.
Goku was jarred out of his thoughts when a nurse came out of ChiChi's room smiling. She was tall with black hair that had green highlights. Half of her hair was put up in a bun on top of her head, while the rest hung down to her waist. "Son Goku?"
"That's me," Goku said standing up. "Is everything alright? Is ChiChi alright? What about the baby? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Goku, let the lady speak, "Bulma said, just as anxious as he was.
"Your wife and baby are fine," the nurse reassured him. "You may go in now if you wish."
"Thank you," Goku said smiling. Before he went into ChiChi's room, several small hands pulled on his shirt. Those small hands belonged to his two sons and Trunks.
"Can we go, Dad?" Gohan asked.
"Me see baby," Goten said.
"Please, Goku?" Trunks pleaded.
"As long as you guys don't jump around. ChiChi's most likely tired."
The three boys smiled and stilled themselves as best they could. Goku smiled back at them and they entered ChiChi's room. You could see ChiChi when you entered the room. She was sweating and holding a little yellow bundle in her arms.
Goku went to her side and drew in his breath as he stared down at the baby in his wife's arms. She was the most beautiful baby he had ever seen. She had a head full of blond hair and beautiful big blue eyes. He turned his head to look at ChiChi in question.
ChiChi smiled. "Yes, she's ours. There's no mistaking that." she said holding up her arms in order to show Goku the tail. Goku stared at her tail in wonder. It wasn't brown like a saiyin's tail is supposed to be, but it was silver with gold streaks in it.
"She's beautiful," Goku said. Once again, Goku felt several hands pull at his shirt.
"Can we see her Goku?" Trunks asked. Their eyes were sparkling and you could tell they couldn't bare to wait any longer.
Without a word, he picked each of them up and put them around ChiChi. Smiling, ChiChi leaned over so that they could all see her. Each of the boys gasped and leaned closer to look.
"Pretty," Goten whispered.
"What's her name?" Gohan asked in a whisper.
"Serena Son."
~~~
It's been three years since Serena was born and everyone loved her. She was so pure of heart and determined, she made it impossible for anyone to not love her.
One day, she even made Vegeta pay her some attention. Serena didn't like to be ignored and when Vegeta did that, she was determined to get him to pay attention to her. She followed him around everywhere he went for weeks before he began paying attention to her.
ChiChi absolutely refused to let her be trained to fight. She couldn't handle it if her little angel got hurt. She couldn't even stand to see her cry. She wanted her daughter to grow up to be the smartest woman ever and the fact that Serena learned everything early gave her more reason to start home schooling her. By now, she was proud to announce that she knows everything a third grader does.
After Serena was born, it was agreed that there would be a get together every year on Serena's birthday since they never saw each other unless there was an enemy. Today was Serena's third birthday and everyone was already there. It was decided that the food would just be put on a table and everyone can eat what they want when they want to.
Most of the guys were involved in a spar; Goku with Vegeta, Gohan with Piccolo, and Krillin with Yamcha. Trunks and Goten were eating at the picnic table by the house, the women were talking with each other and Serena and Marron were playing with Serena's new toys.
Up in the air, Goku and Vegeta were engaged in a full out fight; punching, kicking, blocking, dodging, throwing ki blasts. They could hardly tell what was going on around them. Vegeta, angry that he couldn't get a good hit on Goku, threw multiple ki blasts at Goku. Goku dodged them all, but they were all heading for Serena and Marron.
Goku and Vegeta looked on in horror. The ki blasts were going too fast for any of them in the sky to stop. "Serena! Move!"
Serena and Marron looked up. Marron began screaming as she realized what was going on. Serena stood up and moved in front of her and put up her hands. She could hear screams and shouts, but none of them mattered. She had to do something. She didn't want to die, but she didn't want Marron to die either. Tears began falling down her face and she screamed as the ki blasts neared.
The ki blasts hit full force before anyone could reach the two and they stared in horror and shock as they waited for the dust to settle. They didn't expect what they saw, however. Serena stood glowing a soft silver and the silver glow surrounded Marron as well. Trunks wasted no time and reach Serena just as the glowing faded. Serena ran to Trunks and began crying.
"It's alright, Serena," Trunks said. "I won't let anything hurt you ever again."
Serena looked up at him. "Promise?"
Trunks smiled. "Promise," he said. "How did you do that?"
Serena looked confused. "Do what?"
Marron ran up to them and grabbed Serena. "You saved us, Serena! That's what."
Before Serena could answer, she was scooped up by ChiChi. "My baby! Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Serena giggled. "I'm okay, mama."
ChiChi put her down and looked at Goku and Vegeta. "This is all your fault! You could have killed Serena."
"We didn't," Vegeta said as he crossed his arms. "She reflected that hit somehow and those blasts were powerful." He frowned. "Very powerful."
Goku shook his head, still very shaken up about what happened. "It doesn't matter," he said. "Serena's fine and that is what matters."
Serena, who was currently being investigated by her brothers, turned to her father. As if she could sense his distress, she ran up to him and hugged his legs. "It's okay, daddy," she said. "I don't want you to be sad."
"I'm not sad, honey."
"Yes," she said frowning. "It's 'cause I'm not strong like you and Uncle Vegeta."
"That's not it, honey."
"Yes, it is!" Serena yelled. She began glowing silver again. "I want to be strong like you. I want to do what you and Gohan and Goten and Trunks can!"
She turned and ran towards the playhouse that was built for her. After she was in the house, she sat on her small couch and began crying. She didn't want everyone to be sad. She didn't want to get hurt and not be able to protect her family and friends.
A knock sounded at the door. "Go away!" Serena yelled.
"Serena? It's Trunks. May I come in?"
Serena got up and cracked the door. "What do you want?"
Trunks cringed at the sound of her voice. "I wanted to talk."
Serena thought about it and then asked, "Is anyone else out there? I won't talk if they are."
Trunks moved away from the door so that she could see everyone sitting several feet away from her little house. Serena didn't say anything, but opened the door wide enough for him to get in and shut the door after he entered.
They both sat on her small couch and Serena stared questioning into Trunks eyes. They had always been close. They shared an understanding with each other that had questioned everyone from the time that Serena was born. Trunks could sense when she needed something. She didn't cry often and when she did, it would mean she was mad. He had been there for most of her firsts' also. Her first laugh was for him, her first step was made in order to reach him; it was as if they were meant for each other.
Of course, she could sense when something was bothering Trunks even when he wasn't near her. She keep a picture of him everywhere she went and if she thought something was wrong with Trunks, she would make someone call him. He would end up coming over and they would go into her playhouse and talk. Afterwards, he would come out cheerful and would then go back home.
Now, everyone could see that something was troubling her, but Trunks could feel it. "Tell me what's wrong, Serena."
When she looked up, tears were in her eyes and she hugged Trunks. "Everyone's so strong! I want to be strong, too. I want to be like you guys!"
Trunks put his chin on her head and waited until she was done crying. When she was done crying, he pulled her away from him in order to look her in the eye. "Do you really want to learn how to fight?"
Serena nodded her head. "Yes."
"You know your mom doesn't want you to fight, don't you?"
"Why?" Serena asked.
"She doesn't want you hurt."
"I want to fight," Serena repeated.
Trunks sighed. "How about this, everyday after school, I'll come and teach you to fight for a few hours."
"Yeah!"
"But you can't tell anyone," Trunks said. "It has to be a secret."
Serena put her finger to her lips. "I won't tell."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
~~~
Serena, now 13 years old, couldn't wait for her birthday to arrive. It's been so long since she's seen everyone. There was almost no one at her last birthday party. The only people who came were her family and the Briefs'. She didn't blame the others. They did have their own lives.
She was also feeling a little sad, but she didn't know why. It was only a few days until her birthday, so why was she feeling this way? Was something going to happen? Was someone going to die? She shook away that thought. No one's going to die. No one.
She forced herself to smile as she neared the wooded area that she and Trunks had chosen as their fighting ground. They had never told anyone about her training. It was always kept a secret; just like Trunks wanted it to be.
Serena forgot about her earlier feeling when she entered the fighting ground. It was like a haven for her and Trunks. There was a waterfall that led to a beautiful, clear lake. A lot of the time, they didn't even spar. They just relaxed and swam.
At first, both mothers were curious as to where they went; they were gone for several hours. They were told them that they studied and since Serena was learning at the same grade level as Trunks was, they did spend a little time studying.
Serena walked over to a patch of uneven grass by a tree and lifted it up. Inside, there was a few fruit, bathing suits, and a few other things that they found they needed in the years of coming here. Serena grabbed her two piece and knowing that Trunks wouldn't be there for another half an hour, she changed into it and jumped into the lake.
She was an excellent swimmer. She learned how to swim years ago by her father and he was the best swimmer that she knew. Even though she knew he would love this area, she wouldn't dare tell him where she went everyday. She didn't know how he would react to this well kept secret of hers and Trunks', but even though she wanted to tell him, she would never go back on her promise to Trunks.
As she continued to swim, she didn't notice it when Trunks showed up. He smiled at her and after grabbing his swimming trunks, he went behind a tree to change. When he put his clothes in a pile next to Serena's, he went to the edge of the lake and when he didn't see Serena, he began to panic. He called out her name, but instead of a voice telling him she was alright, two small hands were placed on his back and he was pushed into the lake. Serena couldn't control the fit of giggles that escaped her lips and soon, she was rolling on the ground in complete laughter.
"That wasn't fair Serena," Trunks said as he floated out of the lake.
Serena couldn't quit laughing, the look on Trunks' face was just, too funny. "I'm sorry," she said in between giggles. "It was an opportunity I couldn't miss. Besides, you deserve it."
"Why is that?" he asked. He then smiled. "Oh, yeah. I remember."
Serena frowned. "Let's not think about that," she said. She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her body. "What's on the agenda for today?"
"Well, I was thinking about a little spar and then I think a little talk is in order," Trunks said looking at her in the eye.
"Fine," Serena said. She went over and pulled on her shirt and shorts. They then flew into the sky and after a short stare down, Trunks started the spar by throwing as ki blast at Serena.
Once the spar was over, the two descended from the sky and sat down next to their storing area. Serena lifted up the patch of grass and got out a bottle of water. "So, what did you want to talk about?"
"Trunks looked at her. "Something's been bothering you," Trunks said. "I've sensed it for days."
Serena put down the water bottle and pulled up her knees to her chest. "I never could hide anything from you."
"I never could hide anything from you either," Trunks said smiling. "This isn't about me right now. It's about you. Come on, Serena. Tell me what's wrong."
Serena sighed. "That's just it. I don't know what's bothering me." Serena turned her head to look at Trunks. "I've been having this sad feeling lately. It's as if something is going to happen. Something bad."
Trunks looked at her. He's never known Serena to lie and he knew she wouldn't mess around with this type of thing. "What do you think it is?"
"I don't know," Serena said.
"But I do."
The two teenagers looked up, startled. A tall lady stood a few feet away from them her long hair was put half way up in a bun and the rest of it hung down. The sunlight made her hair seem green. She had on a tight fitting bodice with a bow in the middle and in back. Her black skirt was extremely short and left little to the imagination.
Trunks immediately stood in front of Serena. "What do you want?"
The lady smiled and bowed. "I have come to collect Serena."
Serena stood up. "What do you want from me?"
"I cannot explain too much," the lady said. "That would cause damage to the future. What I can tell you is that I am Sailor Pluto, the guardian of time and protector of the Time Gates. I have come to take you to an alternate dimension where you will be fighting against a growing evil."
"You're not taking Serena anywhere!" Trunks said powering up. He flew towards Sailor Pluto, but before he could reach her, he was stopped in midair and couldn't move.
"Trunks!" Serena screamed. Before she could reach him, Pluto appeared in front of her.
"Serena!" Trunks yelled. "Run!"
Sailor Pluto didn't say anything, but she created a portal and grabbed Serena's arm. "Forgive me." She took her staff and hit Serena over the head with it, causing her to black out. Wasting no time, she picked Serena up and carried her into the portal. Once the portal disappeared, Trunks was no longer frozen.

Trunks looked at her. He's never known Serena to lie and he knew she wouldn't mess around with this type of thing. "What do you think it is?"
"I don't know," Serena said.
"But I do."
The two teenagers looked up, startled. A tall lady stood a few feet away from them her long hair was put half way up in a bun and the rest of it hung down. The sunlight made her hair seem green. She had on a tight fitting bodice with a bow in the middle and in back. Her black skirt was extremely short and left little to the imagination.
Trunks immediately stood in front of Serena. "What do you want?"
The lady smiled and bowed. "I have come to collect Serena."
Serena stood up. "What do you want from me?"
"I cannot explain too much," the lady said. "That would cause damage to the future. What I can tell you is that I am Sailor Pluto, the guardian of time and protector of the Time Gates. I have come to take you to an alternate dimension where you will be fighting against a growing evil."
"You're not taking Serena anywhere!" Trunks said powering up. He flew towards Sailor Pluto, but before he could reach her, he was stopped in midair and couldn't move.
"Trunks!" Serena screamed. Before she could reach him, Pluto appeared in front of her.
"Serena!" Trunks yelled. "Run!"
Sailor Pluto didn't say anything, but she created a portal and grabbed Serena's arm. "Forgive me." She took her staff and hit Serena over the head with it, causing her to black out. Wasting no time, she picked Serena up and carried her into the portal. Once the portal disappeared, Trunks was no longer frozen.
