The 23rd district West City Police department buzzed with energy. Perps being locked up, bail being posted for ne'er-do-well adolescents having a little to much fun and drunkards sobering up in the tank. 10pm Tuesday on a warm summer night Krillin laid eyes on the one person he thought he'd never see again in life. " Oh come on! That asshole had it coming!" He couldn't believe it! A curvaceous teal hair voicetourus vixen twisted in her hand cuffs. "Ma'am calm down!" two officers, one male and one female tried to restrain her. "That asshole had the nerve to put me out! I'm the best thing that ever happened to that jackass! So screw it and screw the car too!" she yelled bumping into the chief and knocking him to the ground. " That's it! Throw this bimbo in the tank!" As busy as the station was Marron was really causing a scene and for the sake of peace Krillin stepped in. "Hey, hey! Chief I got this." Krillin said approaching the chief and officers who had helped him up. "You better!" scoffed the chief.

" What the hell Krillin? What, what are you doing here?" Marron said seemingly shocked but quickly changed her tune. " Oh babe, I missed you. Can't you get me out of here?" "Who is she calling babe?" Ice chills ran down Krillin's spine as the cool tone of his wife rang in his ears. Sweat beads formed on his for head as he nervously put his hands up to reassure her " She didn't mean it like that hun." Marron eyed 18 up and down in a wondrous way. " Wow Krillin you sure now how to pick'em." After she dumped him she never thought he find anyone as hot as her or even better looking. She noticed the ring on his left finger and hers. And she married him!? She thought to herself. Krillin wasn't unmarriable. But she left him because she no longer saw the relationship as mutually beneficial. He was good to her and a sweet guy but, he ran out of cash. Wow he really had a wife. Her pale blue eyes were amazing and her skin! Flawless! She had on no makeup, a black maxi dress a simple gold necklace with a small diamond and a few gold Bangles on her wrist. She couldn't see her figure under the free flowing maxi dress but noticed it draped nicely from her large breasts. " Krillin who is this woman?" " Oh I'm just an old friend and I call every one babe. You know it's just a sign of affection and he was just about to help me get out of here." Marron and Krillin chuckled nervously. "Whats the chargers?" Krillin asked the arresting officer. "Disorderly conduct, Destruction of property and resisting arrest." Marron sighed. She actually looked genuinely sad. " Look, I'm havin' a really bad night. My asshole of an ex packed up all my things while I was out shopping today and had another woman move in. I'm sorry, I'm just really upset." Tears welled in her eyes. " What's her bail set at?" " 5 million zeni." "Hang on Marron." Krillin moved aside with 18. "18, Marron is ….an old girlfriend." 18's eyes narrowed and she began to fume. " Our daughters name is Marron. You mean to tell me you named our child after her?" " Yes because I thought it was a beautiful name. Listen I will explain what our relationship was like later. I don't have any feelings for her and haven't in a long time. I only love you. I just came across her tonight. I was just trying to help her. Then I want to be with you. And take you on a date like I planned. 18's annoyance frayed over the next few seconds. She let out an exacerbated sigh and rolled her eyes " Okay…Okay make it quick." He placed a hand on her shoulder. " If you want to talk about what happened between us we can. I have nothing to hide from you. Right now I just want to help." 18 softened. She knew all he ever wanted to do was help people. Hell he didn't even know her and he helped her and her brother.

He spoke to the officer at the desk. " Hey sarg can you process her paperwork and I'll pay the bail." " Sure thing Krillin." He nodded towards another officer and she removed the handcuffs. " Oh thank you Krillin!" " Listen they'll reduce the chargers as much as they can and set a court date." "Okay, I'll pay you back." " No, no don't worry about it. I really just wanted to help" he said interrupting her. They smiled at each other and he walked off to his wife. " Let me change clothes babe." While he did 18 sat in the captain's office. She liked him and he and his wife often acted as surrogate grandparents to her daughter and she often brought her to see them and showed them pictures of her. Krillin returned to his wife and they existed the police station together. 18's mood had improved but she was curious about Krillin's previous relationship. She hadn't gone into any major details of her previous relationships with him either simply because he had never asked and because of that she never pried into his. He grabbed her hand as they headed down to a lounge a few blocks away from the station.

" Hey. Hey! Krillin!" Marron noticed them approaching and ran up to them. She saw his wife's irritated expression and instead of throwing fuel on the fire she stretched her hand out to her. " I'm Marron. Thank you for allowing him to stretch his neck out for me like that." She realized his wife wore the pants in the relationship so she knew to show her respect. 18 noticed her effort and obliged her. " I'm 18." Krillin looked like he would faint at any minute. They stood in awkward silence for a few seconds. " He's always been a big help. He's always right on time." 18 nodded. "Well, you enjoy your freedom…and the rest of your night." She grabbed Krillin's hand and forged ahead. "Speaking of being right on time." She said nervously. "My ex put me out and I actually spent all my money shopping and the stores are all closed so I can't get my money back until tomorrow." " You still haven't learned to be responsible Marron?" Krillin asked with disappointment. "No! That's not it! I just run across a lot of people who want to be really nice to me. It's just always seems to work out that way for me." She answered in a pouty tone. 18 studied her predecessor. She read her like a book. She knew what kind of woman Marron was. Hell she was the woman in her youth when she was a delinquent. Before she met the love of her life. Even before Dr. Gero kidnapped her and her brother. She chuckled. She could see how Krillin fell for her type, it's part of the reason he fell for her the only difference was there was never any manipulation or material gain for her when it came to being with him. She finally felt love when she met him and felt it again when she had his child. She knew what went on their relationship, but she wanted to hear them tell it. Then she'd decide whether or not to crush this woman for mistreating her love in the past. "Okay, I'll get to the point, can I crash with you guys tonight? I promise I won't put you guys out and even though I know you don't want the money back I will pay you guys back!" Krillin knew Marron was broke. She really did have a shopping addiction and she was not self reliant. He looked at his wife for approval and was shook when he saw the look on her face. Like she had some evil scheme in the midst. "Sure, you can stay with us for the night." She blurted out to quickly for Krillin's comfort. He had nothing to hide from 18. He said he would tell her the truth. Goodness. She was going to interrogate Marron instead and he doubted she had the tact to not piss 18 off. Oh man. What have I gotten myself into? He thought. Their date plans were cancelled in order to babysit an adult.

The whole tone of the evening has shifted. 18 was remarkably calm cool and collected as Marron blabbed about events in her most recent years but treaded lightly in going down memory lane with Krillin. They ordered takeout from the lounge they were supposed to have their date at. 18 fixed everyone's plate poured Marron a glass of Chardonnay at her request and handed Krillin his favorite after work beer. She sipped her water as she listed to Marron talk. She set her glass down on the coffee table and decided to get to the point. "So Marron, how long were you and Krillin together?" Krillin and Marron choked on their drinks a little. She was going to answer that they were just friends but 18 interrupted her. "I know the two of you are ex's. Krillin is was honest with me." Marron cleared her throat. "Gosh, we spent about 6 or seven months together and that was about 12 years ago." "What attracted you to him?" She thought about it for a second. "Um well he was really sweet to me." She took another sip of her wine. "And?" asked with her legs crossed and hands on her knees. "And, generous, and fun." Again, she took a sip of wine. "How generous?" "He bought me nice things and took me on a few trips." Krillin was flabbergasted. 18 narrowed her eyes. "Did you break his heart?" Marron gave an innocent chuckle but when she saw how serious 18 was she answered seriously. "I did love him. But at the time I loved "things" more than I loved him." Krillin looked down at his beer. He knew Marron wasn't really in love with him even though she said she would have said yes if he asked her to marry him, but at the time he wanted her to be. He wasn't the most handsome or the richest guy so it stung him bad when she really did leave him for a random guy. But, it was okay. He found 18 and she didn't want things from him. Just love.

Marron's answer was brutally honest. How in the hell could any woman who was lucky enough to be loved by Krillin not love him back. That angered her. It angered her for Krillin's sake but also because it reminded her of who she used to be. Krillin knew that she had past lovers but he didn't know she used them, she drained them, and she'd leave them, she was reckless with them, and she chose lovers who satisfied her sexually and financially but never mentally and emotionally. How in the hell could she blame a woman like Marron for the woman that she used to be. She shook those thoughts and thought about her husband and said to Marron " I'm glad you let him go. Because he's all mine now." Marron looked a little sad at that statement. Especially since she thought she found love with her ex. She had hurt a lot of people and now she was the one hurt and her past was biting her in the ass. 18 was right though. She smiled. " He really is wonderful. She said looking at Krillin making him blush at both their comments. "You're a lucky woman 18. I messed up." "You're a lucky man too Krillin. 18 is absolutely gorgeous. I see you have a type. You just keep bagging babes." They laughed.

18 had actually relaxed. She noticed the compliment was stretched out by the fact that Marron's eyes were still on her. "So exactly what happened with your ex?" she asked her. "Ugggghhh that asshole was two timing me for the last 3 months. If your unhappy, you should say something not screw another woman behind my back. So I destroyed a few car windows and then the cops came." Marron threw back the rest of her wine. " I'm sorry your ex was two timing you. He is an asshole." Krillin added truly sorry for her. Marron slouched in her seat and rubbed her brow. "She." Marron corrected him. Krillin was surprised he didn't know she was interested in women. 18 was not surprised. The look Marron gave her a few minutes early told it all. After all she knew when a woman was attracted to her. A few of her past lovers had been women as well. This much Krillin knew but it didn't bother him. If any man or woman she had slept with came crossed their path Krillin wouldn't give a shit. He knew 18 loved him and only him or she would have left a long time ago if she didn't. Knowing that she didn't care about his and Marron's sexual history because he didn't care about hers. Honestly that security was extremely sexy on him. " I don't know. Maybe the relationship wasn't beneficial to her anymore. Whatever, I'll bounce back though. I just thought maybe I could settle down with her. She was fun, had great style, and she was so sexy and as Krillin knows I'm hard to please in the bedroom but just like him she knows exactly what to do." Krillin blushed and almost choked on his beer. Immediately Marron thought about how tactless her comment was and sat up. "Oh my gosh. 18 I'm sorry I didn't… 18 cut her off. " It's not a big deal. We both know he aims to please." Krillin's cheeks were on fire at this point. They laughed a little. " Hey can I have another glass." 18 prepared Marron another Chardonnay.

"Thanks you guys for helping me. My ex took car of me. She gave me a lot of things. I know I seem, shallow and like I'm….a gold-digger. But I have a heart and today it got broken. That's why I really am sorry for how things ended between us. I left you and ran off to Aruba with that guy I met three days later. I was an ass." She laughed. " I'm glad the two of you found each other. Krillin didn't need a person like me corrupting him. Nothing good would have come from me being in his life." "Except your name. We use it every day. Krillin here decided to name our three year old daughter after you and just now told me about it today." 18 stated in a sarcastic tone. Marron looked shocked "It's a beautiful name!" he said defending himself in terror of his wife. "You guys have a kid?" Krillin proudly showed her a picture. "She's beautiful! Where is she?" "You remember that kid Gohan's mom Chichi?" Marron shook her head. "She watches her sometimes on our date night. That's where she is tonight." They laughed at the story they told 18 about Marron and Chichi's interaction. " She was acting like a bitch! But she was actually a milf. I could have made her loosen up but Krillin pulled me away. That lady was going to kick my ass!" She sipped her wine. "Yeah she a very feisty woman." 18 added. Marron was curious about her. "And what about you 18? You make Krillin really nervous and it's kind of funny, kind of sexy.'

18 noticed that Marron's candor would slip in and out. She was cautious if she thought her words would earn her an ass wiping and flirty and comfortable in the next minute if she felt 18 was comfortable Whether this was because 18 took several opportunities to eye Marron's supple lips, hard nipples under her crop top, he belly piercing, or subconsciously flirt with her by seductively looking into her eyes or the fact that they both loved the same man and that man satisfied them both and he was relaxed at the fact that his former lover and current were getting along so well. At some point in their conversations Marron made her way next to 18 on the couch and would touch her shoulder or knee when they laughed. "Baby, why are you so far away?" 18 asked Krillin who was sitting in a chair to the side of them. He grabbed his drink and sat on the other side of her. The conversation and laughs continued but suddenly took a very subtle turn. 18's hair fell over her eye as she laughed and Marron removed it and slowly brushed it behind her ear. She looked in her eyes. "You really are one of the prettiest women I've ever seen." "Thank you. I thought the same thing when I saw you." 18 felt a warmth in her body. The kind of warmth she feels when her husband kisses. " You too are so hot. The two of you should make a sex tape. I'd watch I'd every night." She said in a half joking way. Krillin was flustered and embarrassed. 18 was not. She was flattered. Just then Marron saw an opportunity and took it. She leaned in and kissed 18. 18 didn't shy away. She let it happen until Marron broke the kiss and even after she didn't react she turned to Krillin to see his reaction. He was shocked. He just didn't think that was going to happen. "Can I kiss him?" She asked 18. 18 leaned back on the sofa to give Marron access to her husband. Krillin looked at her for an answer, for approval, or for her to get pissed. Oh Kami is he testing me? She's going to ring my neck if I do the wrong thing. But wait, does she want this? He thought to himself. " Kiss her baby." Reluctantly he kissed his ex girlfriend as his wife had told him to do.
