Bulma looked at their guest closely. She watched as Serena's emotions changed with each passing moment. She watched as amusement played across her features first, followed by happiness, and then sadness. Bulma looked into the young woman's eyes and felt sorry for her. Her eyes looked so desolate a sad. 'Something's had to of happened to her, the poor dear. I hope she will be able to open up to us.'

"Serena," Bulma said getting the young woman's attention, "would you like to spend the night?"

Serena brought her eyes up to look at the blue-haired woman. Was she serious? She didn't even know them and this woman was offering her to spend the night.

Bulla decided to answer for her. "Of course she wants to spend the night, mom. After all, she most likely wants to finish what she started with Trunks."

At this, both Bulla and Bulma busted out laughing. Serena blushed and Trunks looked about ready to snap his sister's neck. Serena then decided to take a stand for Trunks and herself.

"Um, excuse me," Serena said very politely, causing the two women to stop laughing and look at her, "Um, I didn't start any with Trunks…He just-"

"He came on to you! Wow, big brother, I always knew you had it in you!" Bra teased.

Trunks turned a deep shade of blue and was about to pounce on his sister, but Serena interrupted him.

"He didn't come on to me," Serena said, 'Although, I wish he had,' she thought silently.

Bulla quickly cut her off. "Of course, I'm sorry for thinking that you would do something like that, especially with Trunks," Bulla apologized to Serena, making a face of disgust, causing Trunks to smack her in the back of the head.

"Oww…what the fu-" Bulla stopped the last word that was about to come out of her mouth when she noticed her mother glare at her.

"Freak, mom, I was going to say freak, honest! It's just a new way of saying it, it's now fu-reak"

Bulma gave her daughter a skeptical look, and Trunks just smirked at his sister, causing her to glare at him. Bulla still decided to tease her brother.

"I'm sorry for assuming that you did something with Trunks, that was very rude of me." Bulla apologized, looking at Serena, then at her brother. Trunks looked at his sister. 'Just what is she planning?'

"It's ok, really, I know that you mean no harm." Serena said giving her a smile, which Bulla happily returned. 'Wow, she is so nice. I would love it she and Trunks got together, he deserves someone like her. But until that happens, we could become friends.' Bulma smiled at the two girls, while Trunks just continued to look at his sister.

"Wow, Serena, you're so nice. Hey you know we should hang out tomorrow, you, me and mom. It would be so great! What do you say?" Bulla asked, giving her the puppy dog eyes.

Serena smiled. "Sure, why not."

"What about me?" Trunks asked, acting like he really wanted to go.

"What about you?" Bulla retorted.

"Aren't going to ask me if I want to go or not?"

"Well Trunks, I assumed that-"

"Now Bra, what did I tell you about assuming? When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me." Trunks playfully reprimanded.

"No, big brother, you do that all by yourself," Bulla said thoughtfully.

"Now now you two, don't start that arguing again." Bulma said to her two children. She then turned towards Serena. "Since you're coming with us, I insist that you spend the night."

Serena looked at Bulma. 'They are really friendly. Well maybe I could stay one night…it wouldn't hurt.'

"If it wouldn't inconvenience you…" Serena replied meekly.

"Of course it won't, sweetheart. Now you kids go in the TV room while I clear the table."

Trunks, Bulla, and Serena got up and did as told, while Bulma got up to clear the table.

The TV room

Trunks sat on one side of the couch, Serena in the middle, and Bulla on the other end. Trunks was currently flipping through channels. All three were looking bored.

"Trunks," Bulla whined, "hurry up and find something. I'm so bored!"

"No, really? I thought you were just having sooooo much fun!" Trunks replied, sarcastically.

Bulla rolled her eyes at her brother and decided to start up a conversation with Serena.

"Can I ask you a question?" Bulla asked.

"Sure," Serena replied.

"Why were you hiding in our building?"
