Nightmares
Chapter 9: Those Tricks Up My Sleeves
He crouched down by her bed, thinking rapidly. There was some way to save her. There had to be. And he would find it before it was too late. She opened her eyes and smiled weakly at him for a moment before closing them again.
The deep blue of her eyes reminded him of the sky. And the sky reminded him of... That was it! Korin's Tower and the senzu beans! Why hadn't he thought of that earlier?
He knew panic never did him any good.
He should have been clear headed. But it didn't matter now.
"Ronchan, I'm going to save you! Hold on!"
He flew out through the open window and up into the sky. He turned super saiyajin to get there faster. After about a minute of flight time, he was at Korin's Tower.
"Korin, we need a senzu bean! Marron's been hurt! No time to explain!"
The white furry cat handed him a bag of the shimmering green beans without questions and he shot back out into the sky.
The cat watched him leave with a whimsical smile. "I only wish he knew the trials ahead of him..."
He was almost there!
Ronchan was going to make it!
He burst back through the window and ripped open the pouch of senzu beans. He put one into Marron's mouth and watched as she slowly chewed and swallowed it.
After a minute or two, Marron woke up, completely refreshed.
"Arigotou, Trunks! You did it!" She kissed him spontaneously and he kissed her back.
Goten, Bra, and Pan walked in. "Marron, you're awake! Awesome!" Pan squealed as she looked at the now lively and energetic blonde.
"You owe it all to Trunks and his genius logic. If he hadn't thought of the senzu beans, I wouldn't have made it!"
Just then, Marron noticed Trunks, Pan, and Bra's eyes.
"What happened?"
"Big black dude, mysterious, tall, wingy, stalker-like..." Trunks drew in the air as he tried to explain. "It doesn't matter now, anwayz!"
He finally remembered to power down from super saiyajin and smiled at Marron again.
He kissed her again, and this time everybody cheered.
*owari*
How's that? I got SO many flames for ALMOST killing Marron that I ALMOST decided to STOP the fic ALTOGETHER!
Did you REALLY think I'd kill her THAT early?! She has MUCH more work to do in this fic. I think you flamer dudes must be pretty happy with this chapter.
Marron's safe now, see?
Well, she's safe for the moment, anyway.
I read the book of The Mothman Prophecies! It was sooo good!
So, do you like the fic NOW? I won't make any promises, but I think most people will like the end of this fic, IF I EVER GET TO IT!
God, I was SOOOO shocked at all the flames I got for almost killing Marron! Do you know how many fics there are that diss her worse than I do? Those fics didn't get NEARLY that many flames!
Thank you flamer dudes for giving me the idea to keep Marron alive. I owe you one.
BUT NEXT TIME, GIVE ME CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM!

Next Chapter: Our heroes relax down at the Briefs Vejita household and go swimming! Is an international disaster really going to happen, or are Marron's psychic powers wrong this time?
