“I had a really great time Goten.” Bra said.  They were about a block from 
her house.  He could park right in front, or they’d here them.  It was 
about ten at night, and Bra had about five stuffed animals.
“So did I.” Goten said.  “I hope we can do it again sometime.  Do you need 
some help carrying those in?”
“Nah, I can do it.” Bra said, putting three of them in the bag that came 
with the shirt.  They looked at each other.
“Maybe next time we could have a double date with Trunks and Marron.”  
Goten said in a deep voice.
“Yeah, that’d be fun.” She said quietly.  They didn’t notice, but they 
were moving closer and closer, and before they knew what had happened, they 
were kissing.
I always wondered what his/her kiss would be like. They thought at the 
same time.
“Well, I’d better be going.” Bra said when it ended, not wanting to leave.
Yeah.” Goten agreed.  She opened the door to the car and looked back at 
Goten once more, the climbed out.  She closed the door, and slowly walked 
towards her house.  She turned to watch Goten drive away.  She sighed, and 
walked in.  She walked quietly in the dark to her room.  She sat down on 
her bed and immediately fell asleep.

If you are confused about how much time has gone by, here’s something to 
help:
She had spent at least five days there.  Her parents are going to be gone 
for ten days.  The rest of this chapter takes place four days after the 
amusement park thing, so right now; Marron is leaving in one more day.  
Kay?  Good.   I hope you get that.  ^_^

Marron woke up to Bra shaking her.  “It’s your dad.”
“Okay.” Marron said, then answered the phone.  “Hey daddy.”
“Hey sweetie, how are you?” Krillian asked.
“Good.  Guess what?”
“What?”
“My power level had gone up so high, I can do KAME HAME HA.”
“That’s great!” Krillian said.
“I know.  Trunks said he was going to teach me a new attack today.”
“Cool.  Do you know your power level?”
“Um . . . with the weights on, about 10,000.”
“That’s—that’s great!” Krillian said.
“Yeah.  But . . . I think I should tell mom now.” She sighed.
“Right now?  Don’t you want to wait till we get back?”
“I think I should tell her before she gets back,”
“Okay.” Krillian said.  “She wants to talk to you.”
“Hello?”
“Hi mom!” Marron exclaimed.
“So . . . how are things with Trunks?” She asked lowly.  Marron had told 
her mom about Trunks, but not her dad.  He was more . . . understanding 
about certain stuff.
“Um . . . they’re good.” She said, blushing.  Bra happened to be sitting 
right across her.  “Mom, I have something to tell you.”
“Yes?”
“Well . . . I’ve been . . . well, I’ve started to, um . . . train.” She 
said, wincing.
“WHAT?!” 18 asked.
“I’ve—“
“I know, but why?  You hate violence!”
“I know I do—“
“Why train then?”
“Because I want to be able to help.  If I can help fight, then I think, 
less people could be hurt.  And besides, I’m strong enough to,”
“What’s your power level?”
“10,000.   With the weights on.”
“Wow.  You know, I think that you should have told me.”
“I know.” She said quietly.
“Now, I think you should tell your father something,”
“Okay.” She said and sighed.

“WHAT?!” Krillian asked.
“You have to stop treating me like a baby, and besides, I’ve gone out 
before!” She said.
“Marron, you have to understand, I wouldn’t be as upset as I would be if 
you had told me, and you weren’t spending the week there!”
“You’re coming home tomorrow, and the most that’s ever happened was a 
kiss.” She said.  “And I didn’t know how to tell you.  Mom just guessed.”
“How—“
“I have no idea.” She shrugged.
“Okay, well, we have to go now.”
“Okay, I love you.” She said.
“I love you too.”
“Bye.”
“Good bye.”
“Whew.  Good thing that’s over.” Marron said, leaning back on to her bed.
“Okay, tomorrow’s the last day you’re here, so I want to take you to one 
of the special rooms.” Bra said.  “It ‘s really cool.”
“Okay, where is it?” Marron asked.
“Just follow me.” Bra said.  “Oh yeah, put on a swimsuit.”
“Okay.” She said, and grabbed her swimsuit.  Bra left and Marron took off 
her weights.  “Wow!  I haven’t taken those off in four days straight!” She 
said, rubbing her shoulders.

“Trunks?  Can you sense that?” Goten asked.
“Yeah.  That’s a huge chi!” Trunks said, sitting up.  “Where is it?  Who 
is it?”
“It’s familiar.” Goten said.
“Yeah . . . it’s Marron!” Trunks yelled.  “She’s  . . . that’s . . . Wow!”
“I know!  Where is she?” Goten said.
“I think Bra’s taking her to that room she loves so much.”
“Yeah.  Wanna go and see?”
“Nah, we’d just get in the way.” Trunks said.
“Yeah, but I bet they’re wearing the bikini’s again.” Goten pointed out.
“You’re right!  Let’s go!” Trunks said, and they ran to the room.

“This is great!” Marron exclaimed.  They were on a fake beach; there was 
real sand on the ground, and a fake ocean.  They were lying on towels and 
getting a good tan.  Bra had brought a radio for them to listen to.
“Did you know that we can’t get a sun burn?”
“Why?”
“Cuz after 10 minutes, there’s the alarm that goes off, so we know when to 
roll over.” Bra said.  “Oh, I love this song!”
“So do I!” Marron said.  The song ‘Eternity’ started playing.
“I’ll love you for eternity . . . I’m not afraid of time . . . somehow two 
hearts are not made afraid of time!”  The radio played.

“Man, I wish that you didn’t have to leave!” Bra said.  “You’re like 
a sister.”
“I know, I don’t want to go either!” She exclaimed.
“Oh!  Why can’t your parents go on vacation forever!” Bra asked.
“It’s not like we won’t see each other after this!” Marron said.  “We can 
visit each other’s houses, and we can spend the night at each other’s.”
“I know.  But it won’t be the same!”
“Trust me, you’d get tried of me after two more weeks.”
“I guess.” She pouted.

“Here’s the room, watch out, it’s really bright.”  Trunks said.  They 
opened the door, and sure enough, there they were.
“Hey girls.” Goten said.
“Hey Goten.” Bra said, sitting up.
“Hi Trunks.” Marron said, not even looking up.
“How’d you know I was here?”
“This is your house.” She pointed out, sitting up to look at him.
“Yeah.  Tomorrow you have to go, don’t you?” Trunks asked, sitting down 
next to her.
“Yep.” She sighed.
“I wish you could stay longer.” Trunks said.
“Yeah, right.” She said.
“Really!” He said, then put his arm around her.
“Really?”
“Of course!  I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it.” Trunks said.
“Hey, do you think we could spend a little more time in the gravity room?” 
Marron asked.
“Okay.” Trunks said, and they got up to leave.
“Have fun in here all by yourselves.” Marron said with a wink, walking 
into the door.
“I wonder what she mean by that,” Bra said sarcastically.
“Maybe they meant this.” Goten said, and they kissed.
“No.” Bra said.
“What?”
“No, more like this.”  And they kissed even more passionately.

“So, you ready?” Trunks asked, as Marron walked in, wearing the weights 
again.
“Yep.  Let’s go in.” She said.  They set the machine for 20, and went in.
“Jeez.  Did it get heavier in here, or is it just me?” Marron asked.
“It’s just you.  Let’s get started.” Trunks said.
“Didn’t you say you were going to teach me a new attack?”  Marron asked.
“Oh yeah.” Trunks said.  “Okay this attack is called ‘GUZUMO GUN.’” Trunks 
said.
“Let’s see it.” Marron said.
“Okay.” He said.  He put his hands directly in front of him, and locked 
his arms.  He summoned enough energy, and yelled “GUZUMO GUUNN!”
“Yikes!” Marron cried, barely dodging the repeated blasts.  He followed 
her around the room with the blasts, and she was running on the walls, with 
them right behind her.  “Jeez!  That was close!  Can’t wait to learn that!”
“Okay that’s enough.” Trunks said, stopping the attack.
“Now, how do you do that?” She asked.

“Goten?” Bra asked after they made out.
“Hmm?” He asked rolling over to look at her.  They had been lounging 
around, both of them for no reason, tired.
“Did you like me before that one day we went to the beach?” She asked.
“Why?”
“I was just wondering.” She said.
“Well . . . I sorta did.  I didn’t really think about it though.” Goten 
said, not wanting to tell her the truth.  He had liked her for about three 
years.  And he had thought about it the whole time.
“Oh.  Okay.”
“Did you?  Like me, I mean.”
“Well . . . yes.”  She admitted, blushing.
“Oh.  Okay.” He said.  They laid around for a few more minutes.
“Do you ever wonder about what could happen in the future?” She asked.  “I 
mean, like the other Trunks future.  It was a total surprise to them.  They 
had no warning.”
“I think anything can happen, but I don’t worry about it.  If something 
happens, it’s supposed to happen.  All that horrible stuff happened to 
Trunks from the future so he could warn us.  And if they hadn’t even been 
created, Marron wouldn’t have been born and we never would have gotten 
together.  Everything happens for a reason.”
“Do you really believe that?” Bra asked.
“Yes.  Do you?”
“Yes.” Bra said.  They didn’t say anything for a while, and soon, they 
fell asleep holding on to each other.

“Wow, you’ve improved a lot Marron.” Trunks panted as they walked out of 
the room.
“I can’t remember when I was this tired.” She gasped, reaching for a water 
bottle.  They had just sparred and were both bruised.  “Now I know why you 
Saiyan’s are always so hungry.”
“I’m glad someone does.” Trunks laughed.  “Wanna get something to eat?”
“Yes!”  They walked to the kitchen, they both were carrying towels and 
wiping sweat and blood from their faces.
“What do you want?” Trunks asked.
“Can I just have an apple?” Marron asked, holding out her hand.  He gave 
her an apple and she ate it quickly.  “That feels so much better.” She 
said, sitting down.
“You know, your power level is amazing for your age, and considering that 
you’re just a human.” Trunks said, sitting down next to her with a plate of 
rice.
“Just a human?” She asked with her eyebrow up.
“I didn’t mean to insult you—“
“I know, I was just playing with you.” She said with a laugh.  “Hey, can I 
have some of that?”  She asked, indicating the rice.
“Sure.” He said, holding out the sticks that had some rice on it.  She bit 
the end of it, and pulled it away.  “Hey!  Give those back!”
“I don’t think so.  They’re mine now.” She said, getting up, and putting 
the sticks behind her back.
“Oh yeah?” He asked, standing up, and reached out for them.
“Yeah!” And she ran out of the room, with Trunks in hot pursuit.  “You’ll 
never catch me, Trunks Briefs!” She called back to him as they zoomed past 
all the doors.
“Run, run, as fast as you can, I’ll catch you cuz you’re not the ginger 
bread man!” Trunks called back.  She laughed and ran even faster.  Neither 
of them were getting tired while they were doing this, and Trunks could 
easily have cought her, they just liked to play like they did when they 
were little.  She turned and ran right into one of the newly built 
guestrooms.
“Ha.  I got ya now.” Trunks said, looking at Marron from across the bed.
“No you don’t!” She turned and ran in the left direction, and Trunks did 
to, around and around they went, yelling, screaming, laughing, until 
someone opened the door.  They froze.

Vegeta woke up to people in the next few rooms, yelling and laughing.  He 
put the pillow over his head and waited for them to stop.  They didn’t.  He 
was about to get up, when Bulma put her hand on his arm.
“I’ll do it.” She said.
“Okay.” He said, then fell back over.  The only reason she didn’t want him 
to do it was because she knew he would go ballistic and another row of 
rooms would be gone.  She walked to the room where the noise was coming 
from, and opened the door.  Trunks and Marron froze.
“Go outside and make noise.”  Was all Bulma said, then closed the door.  
Trunks looked at the door for a few more seconds then looked at Marron who 
was resting on the windowsill.
“You heard what she said,” Marron said, then let herself fall out the 
window.  She didn’t panic, she knew she could always catch herself.  When 
she was about a foot from the ground, she zoomed up towards the sky, but 
Trunks got in the way, and reached down towards her back where she had the 
sticks tucked into her belt.
“You can’t catch me, slow poke.” Marron called up to him, then zoomed into 
the forest.

“You know, Marron and Trunks’s relationship is based on fighting.  I bet 
that they won’t get that far.” Bra said.
“I guess,” Goten said.  “Hey, wanna go get something to eat?”
“Yeah.” Bra said, and they sat up and walked out of the beach room.
“Hey, mom?” Bra called into her parent’s room.
“What?” She mumbled into her pillow.
“I’m going to eat somewhere, kay?” She asked her quickly.
“Okay.” She mumbled.  “Be back before dinner.”
“Okay!  Love ya!” Bra said, the closed the door. “They said okay.” Bra 
yelled into the hall.
“Good.” Goten said, walking into the hallway, wearing some of Trunks 
pants.  “Are you sure he won’t mind?  Cuz last—“
“Oh, he won’t care.  Besides, do you want to go to the store wearing your 
PJ’s?” Bra asked.
“No.”
“Then come on.” She said.  “Where are we going, anyway?”
“Um . . . how about McDonald’s?” Goten asked, and they opened the door.
“You can’t catch me slow poke!”  Marron called, zoomed by.  Trunks was 
right behind her, and they were both laughing hard.
“Yep, it’ll never last.” Goten said sarcastically and laughed, and they 
walked to the car.

Marron zoomed in-between trees, dodged branches, and ducked birds, with 
Trunks right behind her.
“Yeah, you wanna give up yet?” She called back to him.
“I have even started yet!” Trunks yelled back to her.  She stuck out her 
tongue, and sped up even more.  Trunks decided to was time to catch her.  
He sped up and grabbed her waist.
“Yikes!” She said as she was spun around to look Trunks in the face.
“I got ya.” He said.
“Oh no!  Please have mercy on me!  I’m just a poor defenseless girl!” She 
said giggling.
“I’m afraid I can’t do that miss.  You’re coming with me.” Trunks said as 
they lowered to the ground.  “You’re coming with me to lunch.”
“Oh!  How could you be so cruel?!” Marron gasped as he threw her over his 
shoulder, and walked back to his house.
“That’s just how I am.  Now meet me out here in a half an hour.” Trunks 
said.
“Okay.” She said, pretending to pout.  “Fine.”  They walked inside and she 
went to her room, and looked around.  Everything was still in the closet 
and drawers.  She felt really sad as she took out an outfit to wear.  She 
had spent the last few weeks of her life there.
So what? She asked herself.  It’s not like you’re their long lost daughter 
or anything.  You’re going back home.  Part of her was happy, the other 
half was sad.  “I hate this.” She mumbled as she walked to the bathroom 
carrying her outfit.  She climbed into the shower as washed out all of her 
cuts and stayed in there more then she needed to, just standing there in 
the warm water not wanting to move.  She poked her head out and saw her 
watch.  She only had five more minutes left!  She finished and quickly 
dried herself as she blow dried her hair and put on her outfit.  Her hair 
was damp.
“Oh crap!”  She looked at her outfit; it wasn’t anything special, her dad’s 
old fighting shirt with the turtle symbol. The shirt was too big for her 
when she was younger, so she had ripped it, so now it was above her belly 
button.  The shoulders were also ripped off, and she was wearing a turtle 
necklace and turtle earrings.
“I’ll just wear a baseball cap.” She mumbled, walking to the hall, and into 
her room.  She grabbed her hat that said Kilyn, on it.  Her dad’s hat 
really.  She laughed at her outfit.  “I must be the only girl in the world 
that can wear her father’s old clothes.” She said to herself as she walked 
outside.
“Trunks?” She asked, looking around.  He wasn’t there yet.  She sighed and 
sat down on one of the many benches that went around the property.  She 
closed her eyes and leaned against the back of it.
Boy, I’m tired! She thought.
“You ready to go?” Trunks asked, walking down to where she was sitting.  He 
wasn’t dressed up either, just wearing his Capsule Corp jacket and a pair 
of old jeans.
“Where are we going?”
“Just follow me.” Trunks said, then took off.
“Jeez.” Marron said with a laugh.  “Men.”  And took off after him.

“Two Big Huge Macs please.” Goten said.
“That’ll be 4.00.” The cashier said ringing it up.
“Okay.” Goten said, digging into his pockets.  “Here we are.”  He gave 
them the money, and got the burgers. He silently  placed one in front of 
Bra.
“Thanks.” Bra said, and looking at the huge burger in front of her.  “So . 
. . do you want to go somewhere after this?”
“Well . . . I don’t know.  Where would we go?” Please don't be to 
expenseive ... He thought crossing his fingers under the table.
“We’d go . . . to a park.” She said.
“A park?” Goten asked with his eyebrow up.
“Yeah, why not?” Bra asked.
“I don’t know.  I don’t have a problem with it . . .”
“Okay then.” Bra said, and took a bite.

Marron followed Trunks for about three miles, when she started to here the 
sound of rushing water.  “Are we going . . .”
“Yep.” Trunks yelled back.
“Yes.” She said to herself as they landed in the valley they had gone to 
before.  “Um . . . didn’t you say we were going to lunch?”
“We are.” Trunks said, then pulled out something from his pocket.  It was 
small capsule, threw it on the ground and a small lunch appeared on the 
ground.
“Oh!  You’re so sweet!” She said, wrapping her arms around him, and gave 
him a huge kiss.
“Thanks.” He said.
“For what the complement or the kiss?” She asked.
“Both.” He said and they kissed again.  The day passed quickly for them, 
and soon they were in the same spot as they were the first time they had 
gone there, watching the sun set.
“I wish that we could stay like this forever.” Marron mumbled.
“I know what ya mean.” Trunks said, stroking her hair not even realizing 
he was doing it.
“Shoot!” Marron said, sitting up.  “It’s past nine!”
“Oh man!  A major flash of déjà vu!” Trunks said, sitting up too.  “Let’s 
go.  I don’t want to have to face mom or dad, or Bra and Goten!”
“Okay.” She laughed, and they took off, Trunks carrying Marron.  They 
walked in right as the first star flickered into the night sky.
“Whew.  I hope no one noticed us gone.” Trunks said.
“I bet they did.” Marron said.  “But we weren’t gone for that long.”
“I hope mom sees it that way.” Trunks whispered as they walked in.
“Well, good night.” Marron said when they got to her door.
“Yeah, good night.”  Trunks said, and they had one quick good night kiss.

“Wow, I’ve never seen the park at night.” Bra said as they walked past the 
lake to the dock.  They were holding hands and talking pretty much the 
whole day.  They were on the dock and Bra sat up onto pillar.
“So, how have you enjoyed today?” Goten asked.
“It’s been . . .” She moved closer to him and he moved closer to her.  
>“Great.”  And finally, they kissed.  They kept on push Bra backwards, when 
. . .
“Ahhhh!” Bra yelled, getting pushed out into the water, and grabbing for 
something to hold on to.  She grabbed Goten’s arm, and they both fell in.
“Wha—“ Bra started and spit out some water.  “What happened.”
“We fell off.” Goten said, reaching up for the dock.
“No duh Einstein.” Bra said.  Goten’s knee was on the dock, when Bra 
grabbed onto his belt loop and yanked.
“Hey!” He said, getting sent down into the water again.  She laughed and 
tried to get up, but her grabbed her waist, and spun her back into the 
water.  They wrestled for a little while and she finally got free by 
squirting some water in his face.  They somehow managed to get onto the 
beach.
“Are you okay Bra?” Goten asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine.” She said, through chattering teeth, they stayed at the 
park for a few more minutes, when they finally noticed the time.  “It’s 
past midnight!” She gasped.
“Let’s go!” Goten said, picking her up and they flew to her house at full 
speed, both of their clothes drying.
“See you tomorrow.” Bra said when she got dropped off.
“Yeah.  Night.” He said, then they kissed.
