Chapter 8
After Serena and Trunks got over their little arguement, they got into a fighting stance. They were both smirking.
"You know you can't beat me," Trunks said. "I'm stronger than you and we both know it."
"That's true. However, I have an advantage. I've seen you fight. You haven't seen me," She stated. Then she smiled. "And if memory serves me correctly, I always was faster than you."
"That was then, this is now."
Serena growled and flew at him, aiming a punch for his jaw. Trunks caught it and swung his leg beneath her. As she fell, she held on to him and before hitting the floor, she kicked him in the stomach, making him fly into the air. She landed on the ground, got up, and flew towards him.
Trunks smirked as he went up. "So predictable," he said to himself as he watched her fly towards him. He gathered some energy up and threw it at her when she was a foot away from him. However, she did something he didn't expect. She hit the blast away from her. He was so distracted with watching her, he didn't have time to move away before she hit him in the stomach. Then, she disappeared.
Gritting his teeth, he looked around him and on the ground. She was nowhere to be seen. "Where is she? She couldn't have disappeared."
"I might not be able to become invisible, but in this form, I move really fast."
Trunks turned around and stared at Serena. Then he smiled. "Guess I'll just have to get faster."
"And how are you supposed to do that?"
"Like this."
He began powering up. His eyes went green first, then his hair flew up, and finally, his hair turned yellow. Electricity sparked around him. Serena stared at him, mouth open. Trunks smiled.
"Cool, huh?"
Serena closed her mouth and glared at him. "You never said anything about this before. When did this happen?"
Trunks immediately realized his mistake and put his hands in front of him. "Some years ago. I don't remember when."
Serena went up to him. "Liar!" Serena folded her arms. "I always told you everything, even if you forget about it afterwards."
"Heh....well," Trunks tried to smile but failed. He scratched his head. "Well, I guess I forgot."
Serena 'humped' and floated down, losing her transformation before reaching the ground. She walked calmly passed the group of confused spectators and into the house. Trunks flew down and ran after her.
"Serena! Wait up, please don't be mad," Trunks said.
Serena shakes her head. "I forgot how to not be mad."
"Listen to me! Serena - " Trunks reached her and turned her around. "Quit acting like a two year old and act you age."
Serena gasped and drew away from him. Tears gathered in her eyes. "So that's what you think of me." She looked him in the eye. "Maybe we shouldn't talk to each other anymore, since I'm too young to know what I'm talking about."
"That sounds like a good idea to me." Trunks said, turning around.
Serena stared at his back for a few minutes before turning around and running upstairs, tears streaming down her face.
