Hey there! Wow, I updated two stories in one day! (Does the Ginyu Dance of Joy) Heh heh heh...
Reply to J.W. Appel's review: Sure thing! Oh yeah, in your first review, you mentioned using Trunks, then saying Bulla would be even better... Is there one you'd rather see? Or both, perhaps? (Yes, I can use both in my next project.)
Okay then, with that out've the way... What's that? You're curious 'bout this 'next project' business? Heh heh, I'll tell you later. Let's just focus on the final ten drabbles in this challenge! Next, we have... Krillin & Marron!
Disclaimer: You know the drill...
Krillin decided to take his family out for a day in the park one sunny afternoon. After talking it over with #18, spending some time preparing, and waiting for Marron to wake up from her nap, they headed out the door and flew straight to their destination.
"Here we are! Doesn't it look fun, Marron?" Krillin said enthusiastically.
#18 placed Marron on the ground after carrying her during the flight. The young girl looked around at the many swings and playgrounds that spread over the big rings filled with sand. "Can we go play?" she asked, with a huge smile on her round face.
"Let's go." he answered.
"You two go on ahead," #18 said. "I'll catch up with you later."
"You got stuff to take care of?" Krillin asked his wife.
"Yeah, I'll be back soon," she said. "Have fun."
"Okay, what do you want to try first, Marron?" Krillin asked his little girl.
She looked around for a second, then pointed. "What's that?"
"You mean the swings?" Krillin answered.
Marron nodded. "Are they fun?"
"Only one way to find out." Krillin took her by the hand and led her toward the the swing set. "Here, let's put you in one of the baby swings..." he picked her up and set her in. "You ready?" he asked.
Marron nodded. "Yeah!"
"Okay, let's go!" Krillin grabbed the back of the swing with one hand and pulled it back, then with the other hand, pushed it forward. "How is it?"
Marron giggled happily, as she flailed her little legs about. "Higher, papa! Higher!"
The two laughed and shared a good time together, neither wanted this day to end.
"Hey, mister!" called a voice from a distance away.
Krillin turned his head toward the voice after giving his daughter another push. "Huh?" Someone was running toward them.
"Watch out!" the person stopped then pointed.
"Hmm?" Krillin looked back at the swing, as it came back and collided with his head, knocking him flat. "Ow..."
"Papa!" Marron's voice squeaked.
The person finally caught up to him. "Hey mister, you okay?"
"Y-Yeah," Krillin replied. "I think so..." then tried to stand up.
"Wait!" the guy said. "Don't stand-"
Wham!
"-up..."
Krillin was back on the ground after getting hit by the swing again. "Ow..."
--
"What was it you needed?" he asked the boy.
"Oh, my Frisbee flew over here." the kid gave a goofy smile.
"Y-Your Frisbee?" Krillin let out a deep and heavy sigh.
"You okay, papa?" Marron asked.
"Super..." Krillin answered. "Let's go find mama..."
"That was really fun, papa!" the little girl chirped.
"You mean, playing on the swing?"
"Yeah! Can we do it next time?" she smiled up at him cutely, her blue eyes glittering. They started walking back together.
"Okay..." Krillin just couldn't resist that sweet, innocent face. "...Maybe mama will go with you next time!"
"But I want you to come with me." she said.
"Er... A-Are you...sure?" he stuttered. Poor Krillin...
They made their way to an empty bench, where #18 stood and waited for them.
"Hi mama!" Marron greeted.
"Did you have fun?" she asked, then noticed something different about her husband. "K-Krillin... Why is your head covered in bruises?"
"Papa got hit by the swing. Twice." Marron answered. Krillin groaned.
#18 shook her head, while resisting the urge to smile. "Come on, let's get you something for your head..."
Only 9 more to go! It'll be my first finished multi-chapter...
