Chapter 2: The Park
The group continued to the park. Vegeta still couldn't shake this feeling he had about her. As Goten and Trunks played the others enjoyed the nice day.
Meanwhile: Mari and Yuki continued running.
They stopped running in front of Mari's house. Both of them were out of breath.
"Well that was really weird. I mean who do they think they are stopping us like that. You want to come in?" she paused "It has been really nice that you, stayed with me since…since… mom and…dad were killed." she said almost in tears by now.
"It's ok. I'm always going to be here for you. I love you. But I told mom I would come home for dinner tonight to let them know how everything is going." he said trying to comfort her.
Her bottom lip quivered and tears burned in the corners of her eyes. She leaned into him and let the tears come silently. She hated it when he seen her cry. He wrapped his arms around her and began to rock her gently from side to side and rubbed and patted her back. She liked it when he did that. He knew she was crying and wanted to himself but held back.
"Can I come too?"
"Mom said if you wanted to come you could."
"Ok. Since we still have a few hour before dinner, can we run some more? Please?"
"Mari, you're going to run yourself to death!"
"I'm sorry, but it's the only thing that helps me deal with it! Please Yuki? Just to the park and back. Please?" she was now pulling at his shirt.
She wanted to go check out what the strangers were doing at the park. All she wanted to do is run past them. She was kinda hoping that they would invite them over for a little bit. There was just something so familiar, but she just couldn't put her finger on it. Especially the one who she bumped into.
"OK.OK." he sighed. "But let's take a little water break first."
She squealed with excitement. She couldn't wait to see the strangers again. Of course she would never tell anyone that except herself. As she walked up to her door to unlock it, a picture flashed through her mind. It lasted only a second or two. She fell a little ways back. He caught her.
"Are you sure you want to run some more? I don't want you collapsing on me like you did that one time. An…" she cut him off.
"I'm fine. Let's just get our water and go!"
"Okay, but you remember what the doctor said!"
"Yes! They said that as long as I keep myself hydrated I'll be fine! please let's just go!"
'Besides I want to know who those people are before they leave!' she thought to herself.
She couldn't help be curious. They jogged to the park. She was in front of him the whole way there. She slowed down once they got in front of the park. She watched everyone out of the corner of her eye.
Vegeta looked up and noticed them jogging by. He had sensed her ki coming before he was just waiting for her to come by. He looked over at Goku. He looked up about the same time and noticed her too. He started waving at her recognizing her.
"Hey! Heeeey! Over here!" Goku yelled happily.
"KAKAROT! YOU IDIOT! What are you doing!" Vegeta snapped jumping up knocking Bulma over. He wasn't ready to tell them the truth yet.
"What? I was going to invite them over!" Goku said with a whine.
"Yeah, Vegeta! What's gotten into you!" Chi Chi said.
"If she didn't want your help before, and blew you off, what makes that just a few minuets is going to change anything!" he snapped back.
By now Bulma was getting up from the ground. She was steamed!
"VEGETA! What is your deal!"
"Shut up woman! You'll draw her attention to us!"
"DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP! AND DON'T CALL ME WOMAN! I have a name ya know!" she kept rambling on abut him using her name more often.
He walked over to her. She thought he was going to do something to her. She tried to act like she wasn't scared, but she was a little. He leaned over to her and kissed her. Everyone's jaw dropped. She was surprised at first, but then she melted into his arms. At first it was just to shut her up, but then he subconsciously remembered how much he loved her after all. Though never admitting to anyone, not even himself.
Mari watched from the street as she continued jogging on. She hadn't heard her invitation. She had to think of something to get their attention. She ran faster and faster leaving poor Yuki in the dust. He ran faster to catch up with her.
"Stop Mari! We're already two blocks past the park! You said to the park and back!"
She turned around and ran just as fast in the other direction. By the time she got back to the park, her legs were burning. She couldn't breathe. She couldn't see or think anything except 'Run. Run. Run. Got to run. Cant stop running. But I'm so tired.' Yuki was only a couple feet away from her.
"Hey. Isn't that the girl we bumped into earlier?" Goten asked Trunks.
"Yeah. I think so." Trunks answered looking up from the swing.
"Wow. To be human, she's really fast." Goten stated.
"Mari! Wait for me!" Yuki yelled ahead.
'I..can't run… much longer.' she thought as she was gasping for breath.
She fell to her knees. Luckily Yuki was close enough behind her that he could catch her before she could fall the rest of the way. Goten and Trunks were the first ones to see her fall.
"Mom! Dad! Gohan! Come here quick! She needs help!" Goten yelled running with Trunks to them.
"Mom! Dad!" Trunks also yelled.
Within seconds that seemed like hours to Yuki, the whole Z gang was there.
"What happened?" Videl asked looking at the now unconscious girl.
"I-I-I don't know. We were just running… she slowed down…but then she went faster. I told her to stop, but she, she didn't listen. She just kept going. She pushed herself too far." he said panicked.
"Has this ever happened before?" Krillin asked.
"Once. Just a few months ago. The doctors told her to wait a while. She went for a check up and he said that everything was fine. So she continued her running. She said she was fine earlier." he told them.
She began to wake up. Everything was still blurry.
"W-w-what happened? Where am I?" she said still trying to force her eyes open.
She opened her eyes to see a crowd gathered around her.
'Great! This is just what I wanted! Now to really scare them. I can't believe how perfect this worked out! Now if I can just do the rest of this right.' she thought to her self.
She looked around scared.
"AHHHHHHH!" she screamed and got up and ran off.
"Wait, Mari! Come back! Mari!" Yuki yelled worriedly.
