Chapter Five

Vegeta knew that she was wearing the weights, but he was troubled, Marron 
was walking normally.  She had about 80 pounds and she was walking 
normally.  That’s probably more then half her weight!  She started to run 
towards Bra’s room.  And she could run!
He decided not say anything, after all, what concern of it was his?  He 
sat down and had some breakfast.
That’s when Trunks came in.  “Hey mom.  Mornin’ dad.”
“Morning Trunks.  Are you going anywhere today?”
“Maybe.” Trunks said, shrugging, and were his cheeks turning a little red?
Vegeta felt sick.  He knew what was happening.  Something he really, 
really didn’t want to happen.  His son was falling in love.  He didn’t hear 
anything else, except:
“Today, probably.” Trunks said, grabbing some pancakes and walking out of 
the room.

She would pay.  He would die.  They all would.  No one would know as much 
pain as they would . . .

Marron sighed and walked towards Bra’s room.  Maybe I should just learn 
how to fly. She thought.  Mom wouldn’t get really mad then and I don’t want 
anyone to worry about me.
She knocked on Bra’s door.
“Yeah?” Bra asked, opening it.  “Oh, hey Marron.  Come on into the house 
of horrors.”
“Um, okay.” Marron said, walking into her room.  There were clothes on the 
dresser, in the desk and well, anywhere they could fit.   Her stuff was 
sprayed every where, there were posters hanging by a thread.  All in all, 
Marron thought it was a pretty cool room.
“So, you’re starting to train?” Bra asked, plopping down on her bed.
“Yeah, how’d you know?”
“I heard you and Trunks in the room earlier today.” She said, reaching 
into her back pocket.  “Want some bubble gum?”
“No thanks.” Marron said.  “You heard us?  Were we loud?”
“No, not really, I’m just a light sleeper.”  Bra said.  “So, what’d your 
dad say?”
“Oh, just the usual.  I told him about my training.”
“Did he freak out?”
“No, but I think mom might,”
“I hope not,” Bra said.
“Yeah, I could get in a lot of trouble.” Marron agreed.
“Are you two going to train today?”
“I don’t know, probably.  Hey, can you fly?”
“No.” She said pouting.  “But, of course, I’ve never really ever liked 
fighting.”
“Neither do I, really, I just want to . . . you know, experience it.  I 
mean, my dad’s life revolves around it!”
“I know what you mean! Dad won’t rest until he’s stronger then Goku.”  Bra 
said, sighing.  “I hope it happens.  Not that I’m against Goku, it’s just 
that . . . I can’t explain it.”
“I get it.  It’s a good thing my dad isn’t paranoid about it!” Marron 
said.
“Yeah, but your dad’s the strongest human.  My dad is the second strongest 
Saiyan.  It drives him nuts to be second at anything.”
“Your dad’s famous.  No one even knows about my dad.” Marron said.
“Oh, come on!  He’s not known as the strongest human, but people know 
about him.  He was in Earth’s Special Forces.  The only reason that he 
isn’t famous now is because of Saiyans!  If they weren’t here—“
“The world would have been taken over countless times.”
“Yeah . . . but your dad caused the first person to turn Super Saiyan!”  
Bra said.  “At least your dad pays attention to you!  My dad doesn’t even 
tell me he loves me when someone else is in the room!  It’s like he doesn’t 
want to admit it.”
“He’s a Saiyan, all he grew up around was hatred and wars.  You have to 
expect that.” Marron said.  “But my mom makes me feel like I’m being 
smothered.  I can’t go anywhere unless she knows who I’m going with and how 
to contact me.”
“I know, just because you’re a girl, the whole world wants to hurt you.” 
Bra said.  “Mom isn’t that hard on me though.  Just dad.”
“It’s the opposite for me.  I think its cause she doesn’t remember any 
experiences as a teenager.” Marron said, sighing.
“Yeah, probably.” Bra said.  “You know, dad doesn’t even tell me what 
happens when he’s on the battle field.  I usually have to wait until he’s 
gone to ask Trunks.  I think he thinks I can’t handle it.”
“You’re kidding me!” Marron asked.
“Nope.”  Bra said, making a face.  “I hate it.”
“My mom and dad always fill me in.” Marron said.  “Does he ever tell you 
about old battles?  Like, when he was still evil?”
“No.  Yours?”
“Yes, all the time!  They used to be my bed time stories.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, and it was really hard to go to bed after those!”
“I can imagine.  Hey, can you tell me what happened?  Why did everyone 
hate my dad?”  Bra asked, sitting up.
“Well, he killed Yamcha, Tein, Chouzu, and Piccolo, too, I think.”
“What?!”
“It’s a long story.” She said with a laugh.  “Raditz, Goku’s brother came 
to Earth, looking for Goku.  The planet Vegeta had just been destroyed by . 
. . what they thought at the time—asteroids.  Later on they found out that 
it was Freeza.  But anyway, it was time for a reunion at Master Roshi’s, 
Goku, Yamcha, Krillian, and Bulma were supposed to meet there but Goku 
showed up with someone extra . . .”

Trunks walked down the hall, Marron had said that she was going to be in 
Bra’s room.  He was about to knock on the door when he heard Marron’s 
voice.
“Someone extra, his son!  His son, named Gohan, had a tail like Goku’s, at 
that time, no one knew why he had a tail.  In fact, the only people who 
knew that he was from outer space were Master Roshi, and the old man that 
found him in the woods, Gohan.  Bulma said that she hadn’t told Yamcha that 
they were supposed to meet then there, because she was mad at him for 
dating some girl named Becky.”
“Wait a minute, mom dated Yamcha?” Bra asked.
“Yeah, you didn’t know?”
“No!”
“Huh.  I thought that everyone knew.”
“Keep on going!”
And the whole tail of Vegeta was told.  The first fight, when Yamcha, 
Tein, Chouzu and Piccolo died.  How mad they all had been at Vegeta.  The 
trip to Namek to get the other set of Dragon Balls, landing on the fake 
Namek.  Feeling Freeza for the first time.  The future Trunks coming, 
killing Cooler and Freeza so easily.  The androids, and Cell.  Everything 
until the point that Marron was born.
“You’re really good at that.” Bra said.
“At what?”
“Telling stories!  You’re great at it!” Bra said.
“Well, my dad is a lot better.  After all, he was there, not me.” Marron 
said.
“Yeah, but you make it sound so . . . real.  Like it’s happening right 
now!”
“Thanks.”  Marron said.  “Well, I guess I’d better be—“ She had opened the 
door and Trunks fell in.  “I guess I’d better be letting Trunks in.” She 
laughed.
“Uh, sorry, I just... um, I just wanted to talk to Marron.”
“Okay.  See ya Bra.”
“Have fun!” Bra called has the door closed.  Then she ran over to the 
phone, and dialed a number . . .
