After Serena had fainted, Bulla ran and got her mother while Trunks carried the woman to her room. To say he was angry would be an understatement. So many thoughts ran through his head. 'Who the hell would send her flowers! Who even knew she was staying here?' There were so many questions to be answered. He couldn't even think straight. He finally reached her room and laid her down gently on her bed. Just as he did so, his mother rushed into the room and immediately began examining her, while Bulla and Goten stood at the doorway, worried.
"Trunks what happened?"
"I-she just saw flowers and began to freak out! She saw something in the bouquet that disturbed her," Trunks told his mother while running a hand through his hair.
"Well, she should be fine," Bulma said, after examining her. "But I would like to see these flowers."
"I'll go get them for you," Bulla told her mother.
"Who sent the flowers do you know?" Bulma asked.
Before Trunks could respond, Goten did for him. "We don't know, that's what she was checking the flowers for."
"What I don't understand is who would send her flowers? I mean no one else knows that she's here," Bulma said out loud. Trunks just sighed and shrugged. Bulla then came back in the room carrying the roses.
"These are beautiful," Bulma said to herself, causing Trunks to roll his eyes. Bulma continued to examine the flowers and found a little note and read it out loud.
Serena,
It seems, dearest, that I need to teach you another lesson. I know you didn't think that you would be able to escape me. I thought that you would've figured it out already, dearest. YOU are MINE and will ALWAYS BE MINE! You can't escape me, I'll always find you. Now that I know where you are, nothing will stop me from coming for you.
Darien
P.S. Tell that pretty boy that you were with earlier to watch his back.
Bulla stared at the note for as she began to put two and two together. 'This Darien must be the fiancée she was telling us about. How did he find her?'
Bulla and Trunks looked at the expression on their mother's face as understanding began to dawn on her.
"Mom, can we see the note?" Bulla asked snapping Bulma out of her thoughts.
Bulma didn't answer right away. She wasn't sure she should tell them about the note, especially Trunks. Saiya-jins had the worst temper. She could just see it now, 'The son of Bulma Briefs, President of Capsule Corp., suddenly lost it and committed homicide.' Bulma sighed; he did need to know. Maybe she should wait until Serena woke up so she could explain it to him. Yea, that's what she was going to do, after all they would have to handle problems that came at them later on down the road, why not start now?
Everyone's attention turned to the now waking blonde-haired woman. 'She has the best timing,' Bulma thought to herself as she watched the young woman wake.
"I'll let Serena tell you Trunks. Bulla and Goten, come with me," Bulma said as she walked out of the room followed by Bulla and Goten. After they left, Trunks went over and closed the door so they could have some privacy.
Serena looked sadly at Trunks. She had no idea what to say to him. She watched as he looked at her expectantly. He sat on the edge of her bed, while looking at her.
"I guess you want to know what that was all about," Serena said and Trunks nodded.
"Well, the flowers were from my ex."
Trunks was silent for a moment. "How did he find you?"
"I don't know."
"That still doesn't explain why you fainted," Trunks said, studying her expressions.
"I guess it was just the shock of it. I mean I wasn't expecting him to find me."
"How did you know it was from him?" Trunks inquired.
"For some reason, he loves roses and would get some for me. Plusthere was a note in the bouquet."
"What did it say?"
"That he would always find me, and…" Serena said closing her eyes, trying to hold back tears.
"And what?" Trunks asked.
"He said for you to watch your back," Serena finished quietly as a few tears ran down her face. She really didn't want anything to happen to Trunks, or his family for that matter.
"Is that it?" Trunks asked. Serena nodded.
"I just don't want anything to happen to you, or your family," Serena said meekly. Trunks sighed and moved closer to her and comforted her. She leaned into his chest as she cried. Trunks gently rubbed her back soothingly as he whispered soothing words to her.
"It's fine, everything will be fine," Trunks told her.
"No it's not, Trunks. You don't know him, he's crazy!" Serena exclaimed horrified, looking up at him. Trunks just shook his head, 'She doesn't know what I'm capable of,' Trunks thought to himself.
"It will be fine," Trunks assured her.
"No Trunks, you're not understanding me! If he's crazy enough to hurt-" Serena abruptly stopped herself, looking up at Trunks.
"Hurt who?" He asked. Serena looked down at the sheet, suddenly finding it easier to look at anything other than his eyes. Trunks took her face in his hands, trying to get her to look at him. When her eyes finally met his, he decided to ask again.
"Hurt who?"
"Me," Serena replied, sadly averting her gaze. She couldn't look in his eyes, there were so intense.
Trunks was livid with rage, but he had to know, although he already had a feeling.
"How did he hurt you?" Trunks asked, trying to control his temper.
"He would hit me if I didn't do what he said," Serena replied, still not meeting his gaze.
Trunks, by this time, was pissed off. Actually he was way beyond pissed off he was extremely pissed.
"He hit you. Why didn't you ever tell me?" Trunks asked through clenched teeth.
Serena, seeing that he was angry, finally looked up at him. She was a little frightened by the look in his eyes. It was a look that some kind of person bent on revenge would posses. It made her a little nervous, but she still replied.
"I-well, I didn't know that I would be staying here for long, and besides, after we all started hanging out, it didn't really cross my mind. I was the happiest I've ever been in a long time. It just never crossed my mind to tell any of you."
Trunks sighed. He really couldn't be mad at her. Trunks just knew when he saw that man, he would do so much to him that he would be begging, no pleading for Trunks to kill him.
"Trunks, are you mad at me?" Serena timidly asked.
"No, I'm not mad at you. At least you finally did tell me." Trunks tilted her chin and kissed her. They soon broke apart. Trunks was about to say something else, but suddenly started looking around.
"What's wrong?" Serena asked instantly getting worried.
"Did you hear that?" Trunks asked her.
She listened for a moment. She heard something coming from the outside of her door. Trunks and Serena both got up and went towards the door.
----------Outside of Serena's room
"Goten, hush! I'm trying to hear what they're saying!" Bulla whispered loudly.
"I don't hear anything!" Goten whispered.
"That's because you keep talking!" Bulla almost yelled at him.
"Okay fine! I'll be qu-"
"Shh!" Bulla said, cutting him off and leaning her ear closer to the door trying to hear what was going on. Goten did the same and still he nor Bulla couldn't hear anything.
"I wonder what's going on in there?" Bulla asked.
Goten shrugged and moved away from the door. "Maybe they're making out?"
"I doubt it." Bulla said moving away from the door also.
"Why?"
"Well they just got together today. Serena doesn't seem like that type of girl."
"I guess you're right, she does seem somewhat shy."
"Yea, but once she breaks out of it, she's really great! She can be really funny, too! She's like the big sister I never had." Bulla said, forgetting to whisper.
"Awe, Bulla, that's so sweet!" Serena said, looking down at her.
"Serena!" Bulla exclaimed.
"Exactly what did you hear?" Trunks asked while glaring at his sister and best friend.
"Well thanks to Mr. I-can't-keep-my-mouth-closed-for-one-freakin'-second-"
"Hey!" Goten cried, indignantly.
"-we heard nothing." Bulla finished, while glaring at Goten. Goten just looked at Bulla and smiled sheepishly.
"Did mom tell you anything?" Trunks asked, seriously.
"Bulma didn't say much, she just showed us the little letter," Goten said.
Trunks nodded and walked away.
"Where're you going?" Serena asked.
Trunks stopped in mid-stride and cocked his head to the side in a very Vegeta-like manner. "I'm going to blow off some steam. If you need me, I'll be in the gravity room," Trunks said, not even thinking.
Serena looked confused for a moment and then turned to Goten and Bulla. "What's the gravity room?"
