Trunks finally made it to the kitchen. He saw that his mother, little sister, and Serena had already begun supper without him. 'I wonder where dad is," Trunks thought to himself. His father isn't one to miss meals. Trunks went unnoticed as Bulma and Bulla began bombarding Serena with questions.

"Are you from around here?" asked Bulma.

"Yes, I live right here in West City. I just moved here."

"From where?" Bulla asked.

"From East City."

"How old are you?" Bulma asked

"I'm 19."

"When's your birthday?" Bulla asked.

"June 30."

"So, you're going on 20?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever been in a relationship?" Bulma asked.

Serena blinked. 'Where did that come from?', "Umm, yes"

"Ever have sex?" Bulla asked. Serena blushed at the sensitive topic. 'Boy she can be blunt.'

"Bulla, what did I tell you about being so blunt?" Bulma reprimanded. "Boy, I tell ya, you get more and more like your father everyday…"

"Sorry, mom," Bulla apologized "Let me rephrase the question. Are you a virgin?"

"That's better," Bulma said, starting to eat her rice.

"Yes, I am." Serena replied, more than a little uncomfortable with that subject.

Bulma already seemed to like this girl. She was so polite and seemed really nice, plus she was so shy. 'Hmm, were going to have to do something about that." She thought to herself. She looked up to see her son standing in the doorway. She smiled at him.

"Hey Trunks, how was work?" Bulma asked her tired looking son.

"It was fine, where's dad?"

"Oh, he decided to take his plates and eat in the gravity room. He claimed he didn't want to be around 'weird, crazy, giddy women,'" replied Bulla.

Trunks moved from the doorway to get a plate and start eating. After his plate was fixed, he turned to look for a seat. The only seat that happened to be left was by Serena. 'How convenient,' Trunks thought bitterly. He went to take the seat and immediately started eating, avoiding eye contact. Serena, too, took this time to eat, seeing that the women stopped asking her questions. Bulma and Bulla looked at Trunks. They knew he was deliberately avoiding eye contact, and so decided to have a little fun with him.

"So Trunks, Bulla told me that she found you and Serena, alone in the dark. Is that true?" Bulma asked her son in a sly tone.

Trunks sighed. He knew the questions were coming sooner or later. "Yes mom, it's true."

"Mind telling me what you two were doing in the dark, alone?"

"Mom, we weren't doing anything!" Trunks replied, evidently tired of the questions. First Bulla, now his mom!

"I didn't say you did sweetie." Bulma calmly stated.

"But you were implying that something took place, which did not!"

"Then why were you in a hurry to rush me out of the room?" Bulla said, deciding to join the fun in teasing her big brother.

"So you wouldn't scare her," Trunks retorted.

"What are you trying to say? Are you trying to say that I scare people!" Bulla replied, obviously offended.

"I'm not trying to say you are. I am saying that you are." Trunks calmly said.

"Why you big jerk, I should-" Bulla was cut off as Bulma interjected in the heated argument that was about to start.

"Enough you two! Bulla, you are practically an adult, and Trunks, you are an adult, so start acting like it!"

Serena just looked on in amusement. They were so much like her friends. She sighed as she became lost in past memories. She remembered how they would go to the mall to hang out and check out the guys, going to the crown arcade after school, how they helped her through her first heartbreak. She missed them so. 'I wonder where they are now. I never figured that we would loose touch with one another. I know we ended on bad terms, but still, I miss them so.' She sighed again. Good friends were so hard to find. Serena's face changed from amused to sad and distant. She looked back down at her plate, finding that she was finished. What was going to happen now? She really didn't want to go home for fear he might come back. Where was she to go now? She barely knew these people, yet they had opened their home to her with no questions asked. She watched the happy family laugh and play with each other. She then came to the conclusion that she wanted this; she wanted to be happy. She wanted a family like this one. She watched as Bulla playfully slapped her brother on the arm, causing him to drop his fork and glare at her, which caused Bulla to laugh even more.

Serena looked on. She then realized what she wanted a family. She had been sent away from her home at such a young age, she couldn't remember what a family was or ever having one. Her friends were the closest thing that she had to family, but since they were all separated, she was alone. She hated being alone. She wanted to feel welcome, needed, loved. That was what she wanted the most; she wanted someone to love her.
