Ch. 5 - Someone There
It was now mid afternoon and still nothing after all this ridiculous driving! Not a town anywhere. As much as Marron enjoyed being in the car and enjoying herself for once, she was getting bored of just sitting in a car.
"Trunks, are you sure you know where you're going?" Marron may have been stuck in a house all her life and not know where towns are, but she does have logic sense in her brain that after more than 3 hours of driving, there's always a town or some sort of sign pointing to a town. It's been 7 hours of driving and all she's seen has been sandy dirt and pointy cactuses.
"Yes, I feel like taking the long way that's all. Why, are you getting tired or something already?" Trunks was gonna flip if Marron actually needed more sleep after only 7 hours.
"No, it's just I'm kinda bored just sitting here and looking at the same thing for hours now."
"Well, there should be something with the next two hours or so. It's only a little while longer that's all." Trunks quickly gave a smile to Marron but then put his attention back to the road.
"Oh okay, I don't mind then." Marron gave out a sigh and then put her chin on her hand staring out at the desert as if it were an ocean…..'now that brings back a memory'
FLASHBACK:
Marron was in her room at the Kami House in the same position as she was in the car only staring out in the ocean from her window. 'To go out there and swim away.' It's been a year since she got her license and she hasn't really been able to do anything with it. Not only that, Goten hasn't been able to come over but he has at least called her. Part of the reason he hasn't been able to come over is because she's tried to escape so many times now. "Might as well face it, I'm never going to get out of here." Her last three attempts were in vein.
The first one she tried this past year happened at Valentine's Day. It was night time and 18 and Krillen decided to go out to a romantic dinner. Marron had to stay home and make sure the house was clean (I'm so terrible to her!). Anyway, when they left after an hour or so, Marron grabbed her roller suitcase that was full of everything she needed to live on, her capsule car, and then headed for the door. It was very quiet the only thing you could hear were the small ocean waves outside. The moment her hand was the door knob turning it, alarms that sounded a lot like car alarms went off and metal bars fell down on all the doors and windows. Krillen came faster than the speed of light home yelling Marron's name. When he saw her he let out a sigh of relief. He made her go to her room and rest. What else could she do? She was stuck!
The second time was on her 19th birthday. For her birthday, she got home schooling college material from Harvard ( I don't know if that actually exists but in this story it does). "It's just what I wanted." She faked a smile. Marron then pretended to cry and said, "Will you excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom." She sniffed wiping her nose with a tissue.
"Sure thing sweety." Krillen said.
"Thanks." She got out of there and went to the bathroom. In there, she grabbed the two capsules that contained her whole life support under the toilet lid that was taped on and began to get out from the bathroom window. This time, she made sure there were no alarms. She sat on the window, her legs dangling outside about to jump off when she heard a woman yell, "MARRON!"
"Er….Yeah mom?" Marron turned around and put her full body back in the bathroom.
"I hope you were just getting some fresh air and not running away." 18 turned her head from left to right and up and down as if she was looking for something that was on Marron.
"Uh…nope, just some fresh air that's all." Marron quickly put the two capsule in her jumper pocket putting her hands behind her back looking like a little innocent angel.
"That's what I thought. Come on you, your father's waiting!" 18 said putting a cheery smile back on.
"Okay," Marron said depressingly and walked out of the bathroom. 'Damn!' she thought.
The third attempt was when Yamcha came over to visit them. Marron had a plan she though that couldn't fail. But she needed dear old uncle Yamcha inside the house. However, Krillen and 18 kept him outside where she couldn't go without those alarms going off (I'm really terrible!). He left very quickly and no one has come since.
Now here she was staring out the window wishing to leave. It was then she heard her mother knock on the door interrupting her thoughts. "Marron, Goten is here to see you." Marron immediately shot her head up with her crystal blue eyes very big and shiny.
"Goten? Are you sure?" Marron began to feel like there were a million butterflies in her stomach pressing to get out.
"Uh… yeah, does he have black spikey hair and always has to take a driver's test?" 18 said through the door.
"But, I thought I wasn't allowed to have company since…you know." Marron said in a low voice.
"Well, he is Goku's son who is Krillen's best friend. He's also very persuasive. Are going to come down or not?" 18 said a little impatiently.
"No, I'll come down." Based on Marron's speed down the stairs, you could tell she was Krillen's daughter. She came down to find Goten looking quite cute to her. It struck to her that she never had a boyfriend before so she didn't know how to act, especially with those one million butterflies still swarming her stomach.
"Marron, you look great." Goten said smoothly holding something behind his back.
"Thanks Goten, um..you look great to." Marron replied blushing.
"Here, I thought I should give you these. It's been over a year since I saw you, we should make it special I think." He handed her a dozen red roses tied up in clear plastic and pink ribbon.
"They're beautiful Goten, thank you." Marron took them and stared straight into his eyes. Words couldn't describe what she was feeling. Her first set of roses.
"I thought I would hang around here with you today since you can't really go out. Is that okay with you?"
"It's perfect." Marron turned a deep red that would have eventually turned into purple if 18 didn't break the romantic tension.
"Well, since you two are going to stay here, we'll head out for the afternoon." 18 smiled at Marron indicating to have a "fun" time with Goten.
"Okay, bye mom." Marron was redder than Dorthy's shoes from the Wizard of Oz (what a comparison!)
"See ya, remember sweety, the alarms are on." Krillen said giving Marron a stern look.
"Not that you'll be needing them." 18 gave out a slight chuckle. She just can't help the way she thinks with Marron and boys.
"I will," Marron said groggily still really red at how her mom is acting in front of Goten. They finally left out the door and headed off flying.
"Alarms?" Goten said with one eye brow raised.
"Long story. So what do you want to do now?" Marron said.
"I don't know. How about we talk since we can't go anywhere and I know you wanted to do that in person instead of the phone." He said giving Marron a passionate look like he knew how she felt.
"Okay," Marron began to avoid Goten's gaze at her.
"Do you still feel like a prisoner here Marron?"
"Yes, I've tried to get out a few times now." Marron shuddered when she thought about her attempts.
"Do they know how you feel?"
"You'd think by now they would get a subtle hint." Marron thought about it though… She never did tell them she wanted to leave.
"Hmmm…so there's no way for you to get out of here?"
"No." Marron has just given up all hope of escaping.
"Do you have any friends or boyfriends?" That question came out a little unexpectedly from Goten's mouth. 'Did I just say that to her?'
"No, not even a boyfriend yet." Marron was really starting to hate this conversation. Goten looked at her from head to toe. Her long jeans and white shirt with a pink tank top over it. Her little white socks and her pigtails. So innocent and so beautiful. But yet stuck here. "What is it Goten?"
"Huh?" Goten shook his head to clear his thoughts.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Marron began to feel a bit uncomfortable near Goten but showed no signs of it.
"Oh.. hehehe…It's just you look beautiful that's all." Goten but his right arm over his head showing that Goku smile. Marron blushed a deep scarlet red. "What a waste."
"What?" Oh.. she knew it was to good to be true.
"Your beauty and intelligence, stuck in this house only." He looked at her passionately again.
"What can you do Goten? Nothing." Marron looked away from Goten. She didn't like it how he pointed out things she already knew way ahead of time.
"Hey now, there is one thing I can do." He put his hand on Marron's face and turned it so she was looking straight into his deep loving eyes.
"What?" Marron barely spoke out. What a trance she was in, not to mention having those butterflies when Goten was touching her.
"Make sure you don't do this alone, you'll always have me Marron." He whispered in Marron's ear like the soft breezy wind.
"T-Thanks Goten." Marron spoke so softly it was Goten's luck that he had saiyjin ears. He made her gaze back into his eyes and stay in that position. Silence was all around. He gently took Marron's hands into his and held them like a soft feather pillow. He leaned closer to Marron closing his eyes to signal Marron to do the same. Of course, Marron was so stunned she didn't know what to do. But when he closed his eyes and saw him getting closer and closer to her face, particularly her lips, her body took over and not her mind having her eyes shut and her mouth open for sweet access. His soft strong lips touched her gentle ones like pieces of a puzzle put together. They both melted into it and for the first time in Marron's life, she didn't want to be anywhere else in the world.
ENDFLASHBACK: (Whew! That was a long one wasn't it?)
"Marron?" Trunks poked at Marron.
"Huh? What?" Marron blinked a few times looking at what appeared to be things that weren't sandy dirt and cactuses.
"We made it to a town."
"About time."
A/N: So how was that flashback? I forgot to mention that Goten and Marron were together before the whole hostage thing. But if I told you, you would have seen it coming! That just wouldn't be fun now would it? I'll probably have ch. 6 out on Friday, there's no way I can squeeze it in this week except that day. Please tell me what you thought about that flashback. Don't worry, later in the story all these flashbacks will fall into place with the story. But for the next chapter, Trunks and Marron finally in a town! What will happen? Wait till next time! Remember, never, ever hesitate to review. Reviews are extremely appreciated!
