"So Serena, how is my little Gohan doing these days? He hasn't been by to 
see us for a while now," Chichi addressed Serena.
"Oh he's fine.  We've both been really busy, actually," Serena said 
matter-of-factly.
"Oh? Is that so? What have you two been doing to keep you so, busy?" Goten 
asked, intriqued.
"Oh...just...stuff..." Serena could hold in her smile. She didn't want to 
tell Chichi that they had been training, afriad that she might kill Gohan, 
just knowing her.
"Oh really...?" Goten eyed her suspiciously.
He knew she had been up to something. He knew when he saw her.  She was 
formidably larger. Not fat, but larger.  But that was just a mental note.  
He started to really wonder when she challenged Trunks.  Serena never struck 
him as the 'get revenge' type.  Then he really started to worry when she was 
being so...evil almost.  The things she said when she was fighting. And the 
fighting style was what worried him the most. Since when did she know how to 
fly? Never the less how to do a Kamehameha? She must have been training, but 
was Gohan training her in some special way?  She was so weak when they first 
met, which was only but a year or so ago.  But now she could beet a 
sayin-jin! How was that possible for some one to improve so quickly, and a 
human none the less!
"...Goten are you listening to me?" Chichi  asked her youngest son, who was 
obliviously looking into space.
"Huh?  Oh! Yeah, what'd you say again?" Goten snapped back into reality.
"I asked you how your Biology test went Friday..." His mother repeated.
Goten was fully aware of his surroundings, when he heard mention of his 
Biology test.
"Oh! Heh...it went fine!"  he lied through his teeth.
"Well, good.  How is school going for you Serena?" Chichi asked.
"Oh it's fine.  With Gohan helping me with my studies, I'm doing lots better 
than I had before...I came here." Serena all the sudden looked as though she 
were gonna cry.  That was the first time in a long time she really 
acknowledged that she wasn't at her real home. She remembered Darien, and 
the scouts, and Rini... oh how she missed them so.  She enjoyed it here, but 
it wasn't where she belonged.
"Excuse me..." Serena blurted as she quickly removed her self from the room.
***
"Poor dear...no matter how strong she, she can't forget about her old home." 
Chichi said shaking her head.
"I'll be right back..." Goku said as he suddenly got up from the table, with 
a troubled look on his face.
***
*The sound of slight whimpering is coming form the corner of a dark room*
"Oh dear...is this little girl crying?" an unknown, sarcastic voice came 
from the dark.
Serena quickly jumped up and wiped the tears from her face.
"Who are you!?" she yelled into the darkness.
"Oh...know one you would know..." it said.
"What do you want?!" she inquired.
"I want to destroy this puny planet, but I must get rid of it's warriors 
first..." it replied.
"What? If that is true then why do you want me??? I'm no warrior, or not a 
formidable one at least.  Why me?" Serena asked again.
"Because...you  are the weakest of the warriors of this planet, not to 
mention the one that means the most to them...for many different reasons." 
It explained.
Serena looks offended by the comment of being the weakest, but stands her 
ground.
"Why do you want the planet any ways?" Serena decided to change the 
question.
"Well, not really the planet itself, but more of the warriors on it...the 
strongest in the galaxy.  I've heard many tails of the Super Sayins from 
Earth.  I want to destroy them."
"Oh..." Serena didn't really know what to think.
"So, again I ask, why do you want me?"
"Ransom..." it said bluntly.
"Excuse me!?" Serena, for the first time, realized that 
this...thing...wasn't going to just stand there and make idle threats.
Suddenly Serena heard a 'whooshing' noise in front of her, but saw nothing 
in the dark.
"Who are you!?"
"I am the shadow, the shadow of death."
"Serena watch out!" Goku rushed into the room.
"Goku!" Serena screamed as she all the sudden was engulfed in a complete 
darkness.
"Serena!" Goku yelled again, but it was idle for Serena, and what ever had 
been there, were gone.

Well, sorry I'm making these short, but at least you have more chapters!  It 
was just such a good time to stop it...well, any who, ba bye for now!
Peace!
