"Marron? Mar-ron!" Bra shouted in her ear.
"Huh? Wha-?" Marron shook her head.
"Ya kind of zoned out there for a minute." Pan said. "Are you okey? Was it something we said?"
Marron forced a smile and turned around. "No. I just was . . thinking of something. Who's up for more popcorn?"
The next day Marron arose and started off in her usual warm up excercises. Bra and Pan slept in late and she smirked down at them. Pan was curled up in a ball hugging a small beat up teddy bear and mummbling in her sleep. Bra crashed on the couch and was snoring rather loudly.
Marron got dressed and went out side. Suprise suprise, Goten and Trunks were already up and working up a storm.
"Come on Goten!" Trunks yelled. "Pick up your feet!"
"Cut me some slack!" Goten panted. "We've got three weeks!"
Marron walked up and sat in the grass, drawing her knees up to her cheast. She watched as Trunks punched and kicked at Goten as he dodged wildly. Goten wore his full blue and orange gi because of the cool morning air, but Trunks was just in some black shorts and white tank top.
Trunks kicked at Gotens head and Goten grasped him by the ankel. He then twisted around and forced Trunks to the ground and pinned him.
"OW! Knock it off jerk!"
"Can-it pink head!" Goten countered. Marron covered her mouth and giggled. She had forgoten how funny those two could be.
Trunks angled his head and finaly spotted her. "Hi Marron." he winced as Goten twisted his leg more to see her. "Caught us at a bad time."
Goten let go and waved. "Morning Marron. How was the sleep over?"
"Okey I guess. How come you are not using the gravity machine?" she asked.
"See," Trunks said getting up. "dad's in the one in the basment and he's not fun to share with. He turns it up to twice as much as I'm used to. Also training outside lets us get used to the traction on the ground and proper air resistance."
"Mind if I use the spare room since you're not?" she asked looking to the round structure on the lawn.
"Sure." trunks said. "Just don't go nuts. Those old models tend to blow under too much pressure."
Marron turned and walked over to it. "Well when you build mine make sure that doesn't happen." she said slyly.
Marron gasped in the thick humid air. The pressure was intense and increased with every breath. The nearby computer beeped.
"INCREASING GRAVITY 10+" it said. The gravity changed to 410xeg(times earths gravity.)
Marron groaned and looked out one of the little round windows. The sun was setting and that ment she had been in there all day! Pan and Bra knocked earlier a few times and she told them thanks for inviting her and went back to training. That must have been hours ago.
Where does the time go? she mused as she went over and turned off the machine. She was drenched in sweat and badly needed a shower. Maybe Bulma would let her use theirs before heading home.
She opened the heavy metal door and inhailed the sweet freash air. She hopped down and walked inside. In side the front door she opened her gym bag and pulled out a towel to wipe her face and arms off.
"Bra?" she called walking in. "Sorry I took so long but I really needed a good work out."
She got no answer and went into the living room. Marron stopped as she saw Goten sitting alone on the couch slumped over. He sighed miseralbly.
Marron went over and leaned over the back of the couch. "Hey, baby face. What's the matter?"
"Huh? Oh hi Marron." he said. "Nothing. Just watching some tv."
Marron looked up and saw the black screen of the television. "O-key." She glanced back at him and saw he was staring dully at the floor. So jumped over the back of the sofa and landed next to him. "Where is everyone?"
"Umm, Pan went home, Bra's upstairs studying and Trunks is on yet another date." Goten said. He reached for the remote. "Maybe an Elvis movie's on." Marron slapped the remote out of his hand.
"Ouch! what was that for?" he demanded.
"Why aren't you out on a date? When was the last time you went out period?" she asked standing up and putting her hands on her hips.
"Uhhhh . . . I've been training." he blushed.
She laughed at his goofy grin. "Alright, I haven't been out for a while either. So how about you and me go look for a party or something? Maybe I can help you find a girl so you don't have sit around here so depressed."
"Well okey." he said cheering up. "And I can help you get a guy. I know some guys."
Marron shrugged. "Okey. But I need to fly home and get some clean clothes." She motioned to her sweaty outfit.
"Bra can loan you some. She has more then some department stores." Goten said.
"Okey. Be back in fifteen minutes." she said walking to the stares. Bras room was at the top and had a lacey place with 'Bra' on it. She knocked on the door and walked in. "Bra?"
Bra sat with her back to her at a small desk. She was typing away at it and then shut it. "Hey Marron." Bra said spinnning around. She took off a pair of red frame glasses. "What's up?"
"Hey, sorry I spent all day training-" she started.
"No problem." Bra said. "Pan told me of the whole bet. It's cool."
"How did you know?"
Bra smiled. "Goten told Chichi. Chichi told Goku. Goku told Gohan. Gohan told Videl. Videl told Pan."
Marron shrugged. "Oh well. Um, Goten and I are going out for the night and I need some new clothes. Can you loan me some?"
Bras eyes brightened. "You and Goten?! Let's see what I have!" She jumped up and opened her closet. The racks moved around automaticly and she started pulling out clothes. "Hmm, with your skin tone and coloring I'm thinking green or red. But not together- no need to look like a christmas tree."
"Okey." Marron said not knowing a thing about fashion. "I'm going to take a quick shower if it's okey with you, and you can pick out something."
"Sure, sure." Bra said waving to the bathroom. "Help yourself. Mmm. this skirt would look great on you."
By time Marron came out of the shower, clean and smelling of lavender shampoo, Bra was still going through her closet. Most of it though was spread across the floor and bed.
"Aha!" Bra said triumphantly. "This skirt with these shoes and this top!"
Marron looked at the clothes. The top was a long sleeved brown tight top with white and tan spirals. The shoes were black knee high boot and the skirt was mid thigh brown. She grabed them and tugged then on while Bra put her hair up in pig tail braids. She put on some quick lipgloss and mascara and stepped back to look in the mirror.
"Damn you look good." Bra said admireing her good work.
Marron nodded. She looked fantastic. She spun a bit and grinned. "I can't wait to get out tonite. It's been ages."
"17 never let you go out?" Bra asked sitting down on her bed.
"No." Marron said. "He said I could go out, he even encouraged me to, but I was just a skinny under developed kid then. I got so wrapped up in my training I guess I didn't really want to go out anymore."
"Well Goten will be lucky if he can for a single sentence when he sees you." Bra said.
Marron smiled. "Alright well I better get going."
"I want details later." Bra said. "It's not very often Goten goes out on a date with someone I know."
Marron froze. A chill ran up her spin. Her eyes narrowed and she turned slowly back around. "This is not a date." She said slowly. "Goten is not my date."
Bra staggered back at Marron sudden modd swing. "O-okey."
Marron turned, slammed the door and went down the stairs still fumming. How could Bra even think Goten was he type? He's so- so - so dumb!
Goten let out a low whistel. "Wow. You look heavenly." Marron paused on the stair case and looked at him. He wore black slacks and a green Hawian t-shirt with a tiger. He grinned that classic son smile.
Marron looked away hoping she wasn't blushing. "Thanks. Er- you look good too." She wished he'd stop smiling like that.
Goten walked up and smiled down at her. For the first time Marron really notice how tall he was, he was at least a foot taller then her.
"So where to?" he asked.
Marron grabed him by the arm getting over her shyness and dragged him to the door. "Where ever
"Huh? Wha-?" Marron shook her head.
"Ya kind of zoned out there for a minute." Pan said. "Are you okey? Was it something we said?"
Marron forced a smile and turned around. "No. I just was . . thinking of something. Who's up for more popcorn?"
