A Love in a Different Time

by Chibi Makoto



AN: Well once again I'm lagging on the updating, huh? I'm sorry!!! My grades aren't as high as my parents want them to be so I've been grounded for awhile. I still don't know where I'm heading with this fic. Thanks for the reviews!

Marron got dressed in some of Bulma's clothes that were given to her. She could hear voices from the other room and figured that Trunks still wasn't all that happy about having her around, let alone using the time machine for getting back home. 'Well as soon as that machine is fixed, I'll be able to get back home,' she thought to herself. She looked herself over in the mirror and thought that the Bulma in this time line still had some taste in clothes considering what has happened over the past years. Marron wore just a regular red shirt and some jean shorts that used to be pants, but the legs were cut off. She ran her fingers through her hair a couple of times. "Ugh...still looks horrible, why won't my hair ever do what I want it to do?" she said looking at her reflection. She reached down on the floor and picked up her shorts. She then searched the pockets of them and pulled out two hair ties.

"Here we go," she said while fixing her hair. She braided her hair into two braids, then picked up her other clothes on the floor and went out into the hall. She could still hear Trunks and Bulma talking, and was walking back to the guest room when the floor board creaked.

"Marron? Is that you?" said Bulma's voice from a nearby room.

"Yeah, it's me..." Marron said and walked to where Bulma's voice was coming from.

Marron entered the room that they were in, and found Bulma smiling at her while Trunks was just glaring and looking a lot like an unhappy Vegita at that moment.

"I was thinking," Bulma said getting Marron's attention away from Trunks, "If you would like to go out shopping?"

The word shopping really caught Marron's attention. "Sure! I'd love to go out shopping," Marron answered while smiling a little bit.

"Great. I'll give you my list of things I need Trunks, and then you and Marron can get going," the blue haired woman said while exiting the room.

'Wait a sec!' Marron's mind screamed at her, 'I thought that we would all be going or at least just me and Bulma...great....it's only me and him,' she thought while glancing over at the still angry looking Trunks. Marron could feel him glaring at her as she turned around and walked in the direction that Bulma had just went. She heard foot steps behind her and figured that he was following her. 'He'll probably be watching my every move because of what happened the other day' she thought as she entered the main room and found Bulma.

"Alright. Here you go," Bulma said handing a list to Trunks, "I'll see you later this afternoon, bye now and don't get into any trouble Trunks."

Trunks and Marron both exited the front door, not saying a word to each other. Marron glanced around and saw that they were in a forest looking area, where she had first landed when she ended up in this time line, or it looked like the same area at least. A somewhat long way from the little towns and cities. 'This is going to be a long day...' Marron thought while sighing to herself. She was walking a little behind Trunks wondering what he was thinking.

After about 20 minutes of walking and only hearing the sounds of the birds singing in the tree, Marron couldn't stand it anymore. She started to walk a little faster and caught up to where Trunks was. She opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by him. "Listen, I don't know who you actually are, but I do know that you're hiding something from us. I don't trust you but my mother does, and- "

"Alright. I don't care if you trust me or not! Lets just try to get along just for today. I won't be here soon, I'll be going back home. So you don't have to remember me or speak to me ever again. So for the next couple of days lets just act like we're friends, ok?" Marron said getting angry at his little comments about not trusting her.

Trunks just gave a little snort and it was soon quiet with only the noise of the birds singing in the trees and their footsteps stepping down in the grass.
