A/N: I've always felt bad for Marron for being sort of the one left out, so I've kinda left Bra and Pan out of this a little. Do forgive me. The italicized text is the lyrics to the song, "Always on the Run" by Lenny Kravitz. *drools* You what to know what else is extremely hot? Trunks at a bass. Just read. ^_^
Face the Music
Chapter 1: Always on the Run
Marron giggled softly as the three of them—herself, Goten and Trunks—hid behind the curtain to the stage. This was always the best part, or no—maybe it was after they were done performing and the crowd kept screaming for an encore. She couldn't decide but just relished in all the cries, chants and screams of her band's name. "Ok, we're ready! Let's go people!" She could hear the stage manager shouting orders to put down the curtain. She turned to her friends and smiled at them. Goten grinned,
"I think they like us, ne?"
Marron laughed out loud as the three ran on stage and picked up their instruments. Trunks started up the bass guitar and the crowd recognized the song right away. Marron followed in with the leading melody on her pink Gibson while Goten waited patiently in the back for the drum part to come in. The crowd went wild as the curtain lifted and Trunks started belting out the first lines of the song. Lights flashed and blinked and the sound coming from the enormous amplifiers echoed out into the hot July night.
My mama said that your life it a gift.
And my mama said, "there's much weight you will lift."
And my mama said, "leave those bad boys alone."
And my mama said, "be home before the dawn."
Sweat began to form on Marron's forehead and she marveled at how hyped up she could get in only a couple of minutes. She glanced at Trunks as she backed him up with her own beautiful throaty voice and smiled, probably feeling the exact same way that half the girls in the audience were. But then again she did have an advantage—she was his band mate after all.
And my mama said, "you can be rich or poor."
But my mama said, "you can be big or small..."
But I'm always on the run
(Always on the run)
But I'm always on the run....
My mama said that it's good to fruitful.
But my mama said, "don't take more than a mouthful!"
My mama said that it's good to be natural.
But my mama said that it's good to be factual
But I'm always on the run
(always on the run)
But I'm always on the run...
Marron improvised on a solo riff that lasted about 30 seconds and she laughed at all the cheers and hoarse yells of the male portion of the audience.
My mama said, "baby don't ride the crazy horse."
But my mama said, "you must push with much force."
And my mama said, "go get all that you're after."
And my mama said that love's all that matters.
But I'm always on the run
But I'm always on the run...
As the song died off, the crowd just got louder, begging for more. The leading lady turned back to Goten at the drums and nodded for him to start up the next song. It was going to be a short three hours at this rate....
Marron dragged herself out of bed the next morning, dressed, and knocked on Trunks' door, "Come on, Trunks! The plane takes off in an hour and Mike wants us to be there." She said through the door. No response. "Trunks...?" She turned the knob to find that it was open, so she opened it. The bed sheets were ruffled but no one was around. Then she heard some movement in the bathroom, "Trunks?"
Instead of her friend a slender, red-haired, half-dressed girl walked out of the bathroom, drying her hair with a towel. She smiled and suddenly Marron just wanted to smack her, "Oh, you're looking for Trunks?"
Marron nodded.
"He said he had to go earlier.... something about a plane." She said the words like they took a lot of concentration to say and Marron rolled her eyes, but smiled.
"Thanks." She turned on her heel and walked out of the room. So he's still looking for a quick fuck, huh? Maybe I need to get my point across to him more clearly. Let's see.....
A/N2: well that was really short and I'm sorry if it kind of left you like, "This was stupid." But I want to write more soon, and maybe if you complain enough I'll re-write this.. ^_^ PLEASE tell me what you think!
