Marron was getting frustrated at the long line in front of her. She was never going to get there. The line was huge, just endless and endless amount of people in front of her. Today was the only day in the year that the people were aloud to complain to the king without the threat of being blasted away. Marron had been waiting for hours but the line was too long, her feet were getting sore, and it was cold. And to make it worse everyone talked too much. The room was filled with mindless chatter.
"And you know, she was like," said the red-haired saiyan girl in front of her that was talking to another girl, "She said, you know, 'Like, how dare you!' And then I went, like, "How dare you!' You know."
Marron could feel her blood boiling. 2 hours strait of that kind of talk could make anyone go insane. Normally Marron was a good quiet girl, but if they didn't shut up soon she was going to hurt then, saiyan or not.
"So then I laughed like this, you know," she continued, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The saiyan let out a horrible screeching sound as she mimicked her laugh.
Marron couldn't take it anymore. She pulled the girl back into her face by the collar of her shirt. "You know what? No one cares! Shut up you air head ditz!" she raged to the girl.
"Like, how dare you touch me you filthy human girl!" said the saiyan girl.
Marron turned red, "I wouldn't talk about filthy if I was you."
The saiyan girl grew angry and began to growl, her tail lashing about behind her," Why you bitch! I'll show you to mess with a saiyan!"
Marron wasn't the strongest person alive but she certainty not weak. And she could feel ki's and this girl was weaker then her.
So Marron drew back and punched her with all her might. The girl cried out in pain and fell to the ground in a big crash. She started to cry holding her jaw.
The crowd gasped and drew apart, starring at Marron. Whispers spread in hushed voices for Marron did the unthinkable.
She, a mere human, hit a saiyan.
Suddenly to saiyan guards seized Marron and started to drag her away. Marron struggled in their grasps.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she asked them angrily.
"Taking you to see the king for the right punishment," said one of them gruffly.
"What?!? There is no law against fighting! You saiyans love fighting!" she said defensively.
"But you're a human and she was a saiyan."
"So," she said, "There is still no law saying I can't. You never do anything when a saiyan strikes a human."
They grunted in reply as Marron kept yelling at them.

King Vegeta looked at the farmer complaining to his pest control. It took every ounce of his strength to stop him from blasting him into oblivion.
When the farmer finished his complaining, Vegeta cleared his throat to speak.
"It's your own damn problem. Fix it yourself. Now go away you smell bad," Vegeta said.
The 22 year old Trunks grinned from ear to ear. Usually Vegeta wasn't be this cruel but this man's rant was all whining and he could easily take care of it himself he wasn't too lazy.
His mother Maron looked bored and was filing his nails and nodded in approval in his father's words. Not like she was really paying attention.
He shuddered, he knew that he was suppose to love his mom but he could never bring himself to it. She seemed to hate him with every ounce of her soul and felt the same. If not for his dad he would have blasted her to the next dimension already.
His little sister Bra was extremely bored and went to sit on Vegeta's lap.
"Brat what are you doing! You can't do this," he said in an alarmed voice hoping that no one saw him. If they did, they might think he was weak.
The 9-year-old's eyes started to water and she gave him puppy dog eyes.
Vegeta sighed giving up to Bra. She smiled happily and hugged her dad. Of course, she knew she would get her way, she always did.
Trunks never had the effect on Vegeta like Bra did. He never could get Vegeta to approve of him. Nor could he get Maron to like her. But then again neither could Bra.
When he first saw Bra, he was surprised. He never even noticed Maron was pregnant. However, he usually tried to avoid her so he probably just never paid attention.
Next up was a blue haired girl. Trunks felt a wave of dai-ja-vu when he saw her. He looked over at his mom and saw she was turning red in the face with anger. Bra was also staring at this woman with a strange look on her face and his dad turned white.
"Tell me your story human woman," he said in a strange voice.
"Well my king," the girl said, "My boyfriend is in a bit of trouble. I was hoping you could let him out of jail."
Trunks saw his dad jump when he heard the word 'boyfriend'.
He took a minute to recover and then said, "I will. Let it be that whoever Bulma says to be her boyfriend free."
'Bulma?' Trunks thought to himself, 'how does he know her name? I don't remember her telling him what her name was.'
"You are too kind," Bulma said bowing. Her eyes left Vegeta to stare at Trunks and Bra. Then she left in a hurry.
"Next," his mom said hurriedly.
The next came was a family of three. Trunks notice that his mother and the guards were giving them disgusted looks. Upon further exploration, he noticed that the woman had no tail, but her husband and son did.
He knew what they must me, the cross breeders.
"My king," said the head male, "I was wondering if um………."
"Spit it out Kakorott," Vegeta said crossly.
"His name is Goku now," the woman said angrily.
Goku tried to calm her down, "ChiChi sush! We are in the presence of the king."
"Don't tell me to hush Goku," she said angrily.
Trunks new it was going to be a long fight but thankfully their son around Trunk's age stood forward.
"Well my king, my name is Goten and I was wondering if I could be able to got to a normal college…"
"Absolutely not! We can't allow these………. freaks to be in our schools," his mother, Maron said.
"Takes one to know one you hypocritical slut!" ChiChi yelled out back at her turning her attention away from Goku.
Maron turned red, "That's it! Guards…"
"Hold your ground," Vegeta said, "If you haven't forgotten woman; this day we have allow these words go by. So says the law."
Maron looked offended and sank down into the chair.
At that minute, the doors burst open and everyone saw two guards dragging a blond haired into the room.
"My lord!" The guards said bowing forcing the blond haired girl to bow down, too, "This human girl hit a saiyan!"
"And?" Vegeta asked his eyebrow raising.
"Erm…" the guards said not thinking of anything else to accuse her of.
"Don't bother me now I am fixing a problem with these peasants," said angrily.
The guards looked over at the other family and then their tails flared in disgust when they realized they were cross-breeders.
Marron noticed it too and a look of pity washed over her for the people.
Trunks however was staring at the blond-haired girl.
"I'll take care of the human father," he said.
Vegeta nodded and said, "Take the demi saiyan with you too and escort the girl off the preeminence. But bring the boy Goten back after you're done. I need a private talk with these…. people."
Trunks nodded and motioned the girl and the boy to follow him.
"So what's your name?" he asked the human girl as soon as they got away from the crowd.
"None of your business," she snapped at him not in a happy mood.
"What if I make it my business?" Trunks asked not happy of how he was being treated.
Suddenly the half-saiyan boy leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Dude you're doing it all wrong!"
The boy straitened up and said, "Hello, the names Goten. I don't think I ever seen you around here? What's your name?" He outstretched his hand for a handshake.
Marron smiled and took his hand, "My name is Marron. Good to meet you too Goten."
Trunks looked at them bewildered as they began to make a conversation. For a freak, he sure was smooth. Well I guess you had to be if you were a mutt and you wanted anything.
"Well I have to go, it it's OK with the 'almighty prince' that is," Marron said sarcastically.
Trunks growled, "I'd be more then happy if you left. You see the servants just cleaned and they wouldn't be happy if there was more trash around here."
Marron just rolled her eyes and stomped out of the castle. Trunks stared at her in contempt.
Goten had to bite his tongue from laughing aloud.
"You just blew your chance for a date," Goten pointed out.
"What are you talking about," Trunks said crossly, "I don't want to date her."
"Why not? She's cute."
"Well for one thing I am prince of all saiyans! I can get girls 10 times better looking. Secondly she is a human and I'm a saiyan, no offense to you."
"None taken," Goten said, "I'll just count that as a non liable excuse."
"Ok then. She's arrogant and rude."
"Not to me."
"And… and…. Her name is Marron! Almost like my moms! I hate the name Marron!" Trunks said desperately said trying to think of reasons.
"That was sad excuse," Goten said patting him on the back, "I still think you like her."
Trunks was about say something but then just smiled, "I think you're delusional."
"OK what ever you say. Too bad though," Goten said, "She had nice legs."
Trunks laughed. He knew he was suppose to hate this boy but is was hard to do. Only in the few minutes they new each other they became best friends. The first real friend he ever had.
They reentered the throne room and saw that the group came to a decision.
Trunks did a double take. His father seemed a little worried, his mother seemed looked furious, Goten's mom seemed smug and Goten's dad sorry for some reason. The guards were no longer there but when Vegeta snapped his finger the guards reentered.
"Hear me. From this day forward half saiyans will be aloud to go to the Orange Star College. So says I," Vegeta said.
Trunks smiled and said, "Congratulation Goten."
Goten groaned, "I was hoping we would lose. I don't want to go."
Trunks laughed and Maron saw this.
"Come here Trunks. Don't stay around that boy," she barked.
Trunks nodded and said, "Good bye."
"Bye," Goten said and left with his family.
Trunks saddened. He would never see his new and only friend ever again.
Or would he?
