A/N: All righty, here is chapter 3. I feel this one is kinda long. Oh,
but I have to tell you, I plan to make every other chapter a flashback for
Marron. It's basically her late teenage years and up on how her life was
in the Kami House and her involvement with Goten ( I didn't forget that
little fella). Anyway, the flashbacks start here, and don't worry, I made
fully aware when in fact, indeed, the flashback will begin. Go ahead and
read! And thanks to those who reviewed!
Ch. 3 - Driving
It was night time now. Trunks had been driving all day like a zombie, just driving and not thinking. He began to feel a little sleepy. After two minutes when they were actually in the car, Marron fell drop dead asleep like a baby and through out the day. It was a quiet, boring drive. After 8 hours worth of driving, it was starting to get to Trunks.
But now Marron began to wake up. She stirred in her seat next to Trunks and fluttered her eyes open. "Morning Trunks." Marron said sleepily. She felt as if she was in a dream.
"Evening Marron." Trunks replied, he felt just a little to tired to see Marron so happy from a nice…long….nap.
"Oh, I guess I slept all day, and this really isn't a dream." Marron pinched herself just to make sure.
"No, and again I'm really sorry about drag--"
"Stop apologizing." Marron cut Trunks off almost immediately. "As I said, I understand."
Trunks was about to protest but instead it ended up into a yawn. Marron saw how affected Trunks was at the night and thought of a good idea.
"Why don't you let me drive for a while Trunks, you look really tired."
"Because you don't know where we're going."
"Just tell me and I'll go." Marron began to grow annoyed at Trunks' stubbornness.
"No. Instead, we'll just pull over here and sleep in the car. I'm sorry about the sleeping arrangements. There's not a hotel for hundreds of miles and it's to dangerous to fly. But here." Trunks gave Marron his jacket. She took it and replied, "Thanks Trunks, I really don't mind. Although it'll be easier to just tell me where we're going and let me drive."
"I can't tell you."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm not sure if we're going there yet. We'll just have to wait and see. (yawns) Goodnight Marron." Trunks apparently was really to tired to care and rolled facing his wall-like back to Marron and fell asleep instantly.
"Goodnight Trunks." Marron said extremely annoyed. 'Stupid Jerk.' Marron stared straight up at the car ceiling not falling asleep. She slept all day! How can she be tired? It's just so much easier to let her drive.
'Now that brings back a memory.'
FLASHBACK: (This is indeed, most likely, a flashback)
Marron remembered herself at 18 when she first was getting her license. It was for her birthday.
"Now you can drive us to stores Marron…..I guess." 18 said rather nervously.
"Yes I can, and drive to do other things as well." Marron said feeling the adrenaline in her body as the car was getting closer to the DMV. 'yeah, I can finally drive out of here'
"Just remember Marron, it's very dangerous when you first drive, you could get killed instantly. You have to be careful." Krillen said hoping to scare her enough to change her mind.
" I will Daddy, Thank you, I'll just have to take my chances." No one was going stop Marron from getting her license.
They were now in the city at the DMV. Marron sat in chair waiting for them to call her to take the test. 18 and Krillen decided to do some shopping while she took it. It would help cool their nerves. As she was waiting, a certain spiky hair boy walked in and sat next to her.
"Waiting to take the test huh?" He said after a few moments of silence then turning his head to face her.
"How did you know?" Marron said feeling like a little girl since he knew it was obvious that she was here to take the test.
" I didn't, you just told me." He said smiling.
Marron blushed a little like pink balloon, not sure what to say, but then her brain started thinking again and replied, " Well, yes and I intend to pass it and not needing to take it again like you." Marron felt proud of herself for that one.
"How did you know?" He said confused but also sounding a lot like Marron.
"Well, I didn't you just told me." Marron said sounding exactly like the boy. She began to giggle, this was so much fun and she hasn't even taken the test yet.
"Okay, I guess I deserved that. Yeah, this is my fourth time being here. After a while you begin to see the familiar expressions on first-testers. Say, what's your name?"
"I'm Marron Chestnut, nice to meet you." Marron said sticking her hand out ready to shake another hand.
When he said who Marron was, he had to blink a few times. "M-Marron! Noseless little Marron? Krillen's daughter?"
"Yes? How do you know me?" Marron replied feeling a little scared that he knew her but she didn't know him.
"It's me Goten! Wow! It's been ages!" Goten said giving Marron a nice big bear hug.
"I guess it has been ages. I don't even recognize you Goten…..You can let go of me now. I'm not going anywhere." Marron said, although she really didn't mind the hug.
"So what have you been up to Marron?"
"Not much, I took homeschooling and ended up graduating early and now am stuck at home cleaning and doing stuff around there all day. It's real boring for me."
"Ouch, that really sucks. At least you're really smart so you can move out. Right?"
"No." Marron said disappointedly
"Why not?" Goten was quite curious the way Marron is now.
"Because ……Well, I"m not sure." Marron began to look adaze as to why she hasn't been able to move out.
"You're not sure?"
"No, everytime I try to move out and go away, it seems as though a force- field prevents me from going so I end up staying."
"Oh.." Goten said no knowing what to say that won't make Marron feel so depressed.
"Sorry to talk so depressingly, this is one of the only things that has allowed me freedom from home. I'm not used to being outside a lot."
"I see, well just come drive over, don't worry you'll past the first time, its in your face, to my house sometime and we'll talk more or something."
"I don't think I can."
"Well, then I'll try to come over to your house and we can talk if you want. I'll be flying however." Goten said a little embarrassed. Everyone knows how to drive but him. Even his father has his license.
"Um……okay, that'd be nice." No one has ever done that for Marron.
"Marron Chestnut? They're ready for you." A lady said who was at an office desk close to them.
"Coming. Bye Goten, I really hope to see you sometime, we don't have to talk even."
"Bye Marron, I don't mind talking, especially with you." Goten waved at Marron as she walked through a door to a class room. "I'll see you sometime."
END OF FLASHBACK: (This is indeed, most likely, the end of the flashback).
Marron blinked a few times at the car ceiling. 'That was 7 years ago…..he was so different back then, care free…' Marron blinked very slowly and drifted into a deep sleep.
A/N: So? What do you think of the flashback? I got this idea out of a book and it had flashbacks at every other chapter. She had an interesting past. Hopefully I can get the highlights I want to emphasize Marron's past. The next chapter will be Trunks and Marron in the present and in the morning! What's going to happen! If I do post the next chapter out tomorrow, it'll be late cause I have Girl Scouts. Can you believe it? A girl my age and is still in Girl Scouts! Yay me! Reviews are always appreciated.
