Gohan cheerily said as he walked into Serena's room. "Uhhhh," Serena groaned and rolled over. "Just a few more minutes mom..." "First of all, I'm defiantly NOT your mom, and two you promised you would get up so come on! Up you go!" Gohan then pulled off the sheets to Serena's bed, and picked her up. "WHOA!" Serena screamed as she was dropped hard on the floor. "Ok, ok, I'm going..." she moaned as she got up and rubbed her soar butt. "Be ready in five min.'s, then we'll start," Gohan walced out of the room. "Ug..." Serena groggily got dressed and ready. After about 15 min.'s she was outside, sort of ready, sort of asleep. "Ok! Are ya all ready?" Gohan says with a great amount of spunk. Serena groans. "Alright then! We'll start with defense, get ready I'm gonna try and attack..." Gohan crouched into a ready pose. Serena did somewhat the same... All the sudden Gohan ran (rather slowly) at Serena and elbowed her in the gut. That woke Serena right up! She fell to the ground and heaved for breathes. Gohan flinched a little to see her in so much pain, but he stood silently. "Well, we have to work on that..." he remarked. "You think you could be a little easy on me...do you know what time it is!?" Serena huffed in-between breathes. "I AM being easy on you, and any ways you need to get used to the time...cause it's gonna be this early that your getting up for a LONG time," Gohan said. Serena groaned at the thought and slowly stood back up. "Ok, now lets try offence..." Gohan again crouched, but this time in a defensive stance. Serena sighed and ran towards Gohan and...um...attempted(?) to attack? Gohan straightened and casually stepped to one side. Serena missed by a mile and flew to the ground and landed hard on her face. "Owww!" Serena squealed at impact. Gohan only shook his head and said, "We'll work on that later..." "Yeah...right..." Serena sounded some what disgusted. "Ok, well, lets start on blocking..." Gohan pronounced. "Well...what am I doing wrong?" Serena asked with an innocent little face. "Everything. But we'll change that soon enough," Gohan was very how would you say...blunt. "Thanx..." Serena was a little irritated at Gohan's confidence in himself and the little, if any, he had in her. "Now, put your hands like this," Gohan demonstrated the move and Serena mimicked it. "Good. Now raise your arms a little more..." The two went on with stance after stance for a few hours. After of which one hour Serena was exhausted and wanted to quit, but Gohan wouldn't allow it. He was surprisingly harsh when he was training her, even almost mean. Well to Serena at least. But Serena's conception of mean would be Luna making her fight. But alas at 6:00 to Serena's surprise Gohan call for a break. "Wheew..." Serena was of course huffing and puffing and completely worn out. "You did ok today, but this afternoon you'll have to try a little harder," Gohan commented as the two walked into the small house. "This...after...noon?" Serena stopped abruptly and spoke just what she could fit out of her mouth. "Yeah, right after school get changed so we can start," Gohan kept walking and left a stupefied Serena to just stand there and stare. "more...of this?" she asked to herself, "I've created a monster! I said I wanted to train! This isn't training...it's torture!" she then finally went into the house for she could smell the aroma of food. "Why don't you go and get dressed for school while I fix s some breakfast?" Gohan turned around from the stove when Serena walked in. Serena jerked her head. What was up a few minutes ago he wouldn't even let her stop to get a drink, and now he's doing stuff for her? She was grateful none the less, but his mood just seemed to change when he wasn't fighting. "O...k..." Serena only said that and then went to go get dressed without a question. After a short discussion on eggs, and Serena's defense, the two lone characters went to school. "Hey Serena!" Goten ran up to Serena waving. "Oh...hey Goten," Serena said, a little less than enthusiastic. "What's wrong?" Goten slowed as he reached where Serena was eating lunch under a tree. "Oh, nothing really, I'm just sooooooooo tired..." Serena said kinda groggily. *yawn* "Man you do look beat. Didn't you get any sleep?" Goten asked as he sat down next to her. "No. Not really. I have no idea how you guys do it..." Serena yawned again. "Do what? Sleep?" Goten said sarcastically. Serena giggled. "No...actually the opposite. How do you get up THAT early?" "You should get up as early as me. We have school...?" Goten was a little confused now. "No...*sigh* when you people train. Not only do you get up deathly early, but you also have to WORK that early!" Serena exclaimed. "Huh? Training? Man, I haven't gotten up early for training for a while...? I should though, I'm gonna get so wimpy YOU'LL be able to beat me!" Goten commented with a chuckle. "Hey! See this is why." Serena shook her head. "Why what?" "Why I started training with your brother." "WHAT?! Gohan is training you?" Goten jumped up and looked at Serena like she was crazy. "What? Is there something wrong with that?" Serena looked a Goten little uncertain. "Well, just the fact of one of the strongest people in the galaxy is training you. I don't think you know what your getting yourself into," Goten recovered from his shock and sat back down. "I'm starting to think your right. He got me up a 4:00 this morning. Then he took me out side and punched me in the stomach, and I'll tell you it didn't feel good! I mean look at this!" Serena slightly lifted her shirt up and showed Goten the large bruise on her stomach. "Ouch! Are you sure you wanna train with him? I mean he can be really tough..." Goten had concern on his face. "Well, I don't have a choice. I wish I could back out but he won't let me. He's gonna train me whether I like it or not," Serena stopped eating and cringed a little. Poor Serena, I wish I could help, but Gohan's not gonna back down... After school Serena obeyed Gohan and came home straight after. She got dressed and when she came out of her room Gohan was waiting. "Are you ready?" he asked almost sounding impatient. "Yeah, I'm ready..." Serena mumbled at little less than excited about training. "Good. We'll start easy today," he announced. Serena sighed in relief. "First we'll run 3 miles..." he finished. Serena sighed again, but this time it wasn't in relief. This guy is gonna KILL me! She thought. "3 miles...?" Serena groaned. "Yep! Let's go!" Gohan grabbed Serena's wrist and dragged her out side and started running. "Ahhhh!" Serena yelled as she was pulled. They ran for about ten minutes and after that Serena stopped and sat down. "What are you doing?" Gohan stopped to and went back a few steps. "I can't do iiiiiiiiiit!" she cried. "Oh, Yes you can!" he yelled and grabbed her roughly back up. "B-b-b-but...." She whined, "I changed my mind!" "You can't, you're not allowed." "Not fair..." "You promised..." "Uh..." "C'mon! Get going!" He said pulling her along, forcing her to jog with him. "Besides," he said smiling back sweetly, "I like the company." Serena smiled but Gohan sensed she needed a little more motivation than that. "I'll tell you what, We'll have a big afternoon snack as soon as we get home, k?" "Yeah!" She said picking up the pace. When they finally got back home, Serena huffing and puffing, Gohan having even more energy than before, they had a break. But unfortunately for Serena it was very short. After some water and an apple, they went back to work. "What?! There's more?" Serena complained. "Your not even half done, come on!" he again dragged her outside. They did some sit ups and push ups, about a hundred each, with some loooooooonnnnngggg pauses on Serena's part. But when they were finally done Serena was about to faint. "Well, it's getting dark we had better do our home work and go to bed..." Gohan said as he picked up a towel from a rock near by. Serena sighed, "You mean we're... we're done!?" She was ecstatic, though it faded quickly when she realized that she could no longer feel her legs... In the next week Serena amazed Gohan with her progress. He was amazed that any human could take and learn as much as she did...or eat as much as she did... Several weeks later... "Hey, Gohan!" " 'Afternoon, Serena. You ready to start up?" "Hey, uh...Gohan?" "Yes..." he looked at her with an odd hopeful interest. "Can I have...well a day off today?" Gohan sighed, "Oh, is that all." "Huh?" "Nothing!" "Well...can I." "No," he said spitefully, only because she hadn't said what he had hoped hear. "Why not?! I've been working so hard Gohan! Pleeeaaase..." she said as she clinged to his arm, making him look her in the eye. Gohan blushed and looked deeply down into her big blue eyes for the first time in a long time. He melted... "uh-uh...ok..." he said cursing his weakness for this girl. "Thank You, thank you, thank you, Gohan!" She said jumping about. "Eh...he...he..." Gohan laughed scratching his head *why did I say that...* he thought to himself. Serena headed out the door, grabbing a jacket. "Wh-where are you going?" he asked. "To see my friends! It's been too long!" "Oh, ok..." he said, disappointed. Serena, sensing his disappointment said, " 'Tell ya' what! We'll go out to eat to night, k? Does that sound like fun?" "Yeah, Sure!" Gohan said ecstatic. *I wonder if she means that like...a date...* "And maybe Trunks, Bulma, Goten and all of them will come too!" "Right..." *guess not...* "I'll see you later Gohan!" "K..." He watch her shut the door behind her. He sat down on the couch. Ten minutes passed... "Arrg! When's she coming back!?" He said turning over on the floor, "It feels like she's been gone forever!" ********************************************************************** Hey, sorry this took so long to get out...I've been more than busy.
