A/N: I am such a bad monkey!!! These chapters are getting out later than
I expected. Well, I'm beginning to get writer's block. I have a plot,
sort of, just don't know exactly what I'm going to do. If you have
suggestions, please tell me! I really hate writer's block! I don't know
what to write ahhhh!! And another thing, these chapters are going to be
put out more slowly due to the fact that this month and part of May are
really busy for me!!. You should get more frequent chapters out after the
13 of May. Basically, it's stuff with Girl Scouts and I'm doing Standford
9 at my school in two weeks. So I'll put out chapters when I can, sorry!
2nd A/N: Thanks everybody who reviewed! I really don't have time to thank certain people (I only got a few hours till I have to leave). But thanks for all those reviews on my flashback, it was so lovely and fantabulous of you guys! Once again, Girl Scout Cookies and……Notebooks!! To write!! Those things come in handy in the best times. Enjoy the Chapter!
Ch. 10 - Another Hostage
Finally! Trunks and Marron make it to Korea. Marron was absolutely excited watching the plane land. How the ground became bigger and bigger! Of course, Trunks slept through it so Marron had to wake him up. She still held onto his hands and didn't want to let go but knew she had to.
"Trunks, wake up, we're here!" Marron slowly stirred Trunks out of his sleep.
"Huh? Wha?" Trunks said still half asleep.
"We're here!" Marron said clasping her hands together squealing.
"Okay, Okay, calm down there." Trunks chuckled. He enjoyed Marron's reaction. How she smiled, the she kept looking out the window, how she looked at him and smiled more brightly. "Trunks, why are you so happy?"
'What?' That question caught him completely off guard. "Marron, what are you trying to say?"
"Are you happy going to Korea?"
"Of course I am!" Trunks began to look down and blush. "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I guess I'm happy because you're happy."
Marron turned a little red herself. She really couldn't handle compliments. "Well, um..it makes me happy that you're happy." 'That sounded REAL good Marron.' She sarcastically thought.
"hehe…it's good to know that we're happy because the other one is happy hehehe." Trunks put his hand behind his head and scratched just like Goten, something he picked up from him.
Marron looked at Trunks and her smile faded at the thought of Goten. "Ugh…don't be nervous about saying a compliment Trunks, it makes you look silly." Marron barked at him. She didn't want to think of Goten, especially in Trunks. That last dream/flashback made her remember why she hated Goten.
Trunks immediately let go of his hand from his head. His eyes went wide and jaw hanging open at Marron not believing that it was her who said that to him. Not once has she ever said anything rude to him. 'I knew I'd eventually see her true side, damn.' "Sorry, I was trying to be polite that's all. It's not my fault you can't handle a little compliment like mine." Trunks shot back at Marron. 'That oughta make her feel stupid.'
Marron nearly dropped her jaw as well. She didn't see that one coming. She then smiled to herself mentally. Had she asked Goten that question, all he would do was shoot back a flirty compliment like, 'I was just trying to make a good impression to a girl as pretty as you.' But Trunks didn't say that, he shot back a nasty remark in return for hers.
They got out of the plane and were now in a taxi on their way to a hotel nearby.
"Trunks, the first thing to do is to get your disguise. What kind do you want?" Marron began to adjust her camera lense not looking up to see him.
"No glasses that's for sure. I'll wear contacts if I have to."
"All right, you'll only get contacts if need be. What color wig?" Marron was fiddling around in her camera bag for a roll of film.
"Um…I think a brown wig should do the trick."
Marron put her role of film in the camera and finally looked at Trunks with her camera all set and ready to go. "That'll look good on you. Brown's a good choice. Smile!" Marron took a picture of Trunks in the taxi cab looking curious at Marron. His mouth was half way open and his eyebrows were squeezed together a little. "Who knows when the next time we'll see you like this Trunks!"
"yeah okay, no more pictures of me please."
"You mean no more pictures of the way you look now."
"Yeah, fine, whatever, no more pictures for now."
"Geez, what's with you and pictures?"
"You get followed by the paparazzi and have pictures taken of you everyday and see then how you feel about pictures."
"OKAY, no more pictures for now."
"Thank You."
Marron sighed and once again looked out the taxi cab window to see what was around her. She was ecstatic at how everything looked. "I am going to have so much fun here. How long are we staying here Trunks?"
"I don't know, as long as we want to."
"Cool! I'm going to take so many pictures!"
"You do that. I'll get a disguise."
"We should take a tour as well. Who knows when the next time we'll be here."
"I'll agree with you on that one. Good, we made it to the hotel. We'll drop our stuff and then go out to get my disguise."
"Sounds like a plan."
Trunks and Marron got to their hotel room. This time, the beds were in separate rooms so they won't disturb the other. One door connected the rooms together. They quickly put their stuff away and left. Marron brought her camera that was hanging on her neck with a strap and in her pocket two extra rolls of film. Trunks popped out his capsule car and drove to a busy market.
They got out and began to look at all the stores and looking at different types of wigs and stuff. "You should probably change your voice to Trunks."
"What? Who is going to recognize my voice? Much less, I'm not going to meet anybody who I know from Japan all the way here in Korea."
"You never know, you really don't know my parents like I do. They would come here in a heartbeat if they knew I was here."
"But they don't so don't worry about it. No one is going to recognize my voice."
"All right, it better not get us in trouble."
"It won't. End of discussion."
"Fine!"
After two hours of shopping for the inevitable brown wig that Trunks wanted desperately, Marron grew tired. They went through over a hundred shops looking for it but it was no where, well, the brown wig he wanted.
"Trunks! Just pick one already! You're more picky than me and every other woman in the world!"
"Marron, it's only been two hours, you can't possibly be tired already?"
"I'm not used to going through a hundred or so shops in such a short amount of time! I have to run to catch up with you! Remember, I'm still 100% human! Unlike you!" Marron was pausing in each remark to catch her breath.
"Don't worry! I think I found one. How's this?" Trunks put an a wig that looked very cute on him according to Marron. The wig was brown (of course) that had short hair with it spiked up but a little combed back for a semi - curl look.
"That'll do Trunks, that'll do." Marron nodded in agreement.
"I like the feel of this one. I'm gettin' it."
"Finally!" Trunks bought the wig and they were now walking through some other shops (at Marron's pace instead of Trunks) to get other stuff that Trunks might need. Trunks immediately put on his wig, it was even hard for Marron to recognize him. "There's a place that sells contacts Trunks. Do you want to get a couple of them just in case?"
"It'd be a good idea if I did. What colors do they have?"
"Well, let's go find out."
Trunks looked at all the colors and found that he was fascinated by them all. "Look! They even have a contact with four colors in one eye!"
"Contacts will do that Trunks." Marron sweat dropped.
"Okay, I'll take two pairs of lavender, three pairs of green, and two pairs of magenta."
"Magenta?" Marron raised one eyebrow at Trunks.
"Yes, no one will be able to tell that it's me."
"That'll do Trunks, that'll do." Marron nodded again in agreement.
"Marron, I'm not Babe the pig in that book. Think of something else."
"Aww, okay."
"At least you read decent books. Most of the women I know have trouble reading Babe. Some of the women have trouble reading Dr. Suess."
"I read Babe in fourth grade, when I was only 9. You'd be surprised at the kind of stuff I read now."
"Yeah well, tell that to the women I know."
"Do they work for you?"
"Yeah, but they're mail people who deliver all the mail to everybody in the building."
"I guess you're very familiar with them then." Marron said very slyly.
"Hey now, none of them were really serious."
"Serious enough to know what reading level they were at."
"Look, this conversation is going nowhere ----" Trunks stopped when he saw what was ahead of them. He turned immediately pale and loss all face expression.
"Trunks? Trunks are you okay?" Marron shook Trunks but no good. She looked at what Trunks was but didn't know what to look for. But she did see a 16 year old teenager who looked a lot like Bulma coming their way. "Are you looking at that girl who looks like Bulma? Don't worry Trunks, she looks way to young to be Bulma."
"It-it's Bra. Holy crap it's Bra!! If she's here, that means my mom is here! Possibly my dad!" Trunks began to panic.
"Calm down Trunks, maybe she won't recognize you and just walk by." They continued to walk forward but Marron had to grab Trunks' hand to have him follow right by her. She twitched when she felt the sweat on his hands. "If you show that you're nervous, she'll know that something is up. Just relax." Marron whispered in his ear.
'Just relax Trunks, this is only Bra, not your mom, not your dad. Just Bra.' Trunks thought but felt really awful when they got closer to her. He tried desperately to avoid Bra and not stare at her but he was having a hard time focusing on something else.
Bra came into clear focus for her to see them and when she did, she blinked a few times. Marron and Trunks just continued to stare straight and held onto each other looking like young lovers out for a vacation. Well, at least Marron tried to make it look like that so Bra wouldn't get suspicious. However, Trunks made it a dead give away with how he acted. Or so she thought. "M-Marron? Is that you?" Bra stopped walking and stared straight at Marron.
Both Trunks and Marron were a little startled at what she said. They both thought she would have recognized Trunks but instead it was Marron. "No kid, we're just two people going away on vacation. Go back to your mom or something." Trunks said very rude.
"Don't be so mean, she's just assuming things that aren't true. Look, I don't know who this Marron person is but I'm sure you'll find her." Marron said.
Bra didn't pay attention to Marron anymore. She was eyeing Trunks. "You know," Bra began to point at Trunks. "You sound a lot like my bro--" Bra stopped and smiled very evilly. "Hi Trunks."
"What did I tell you about your voice?! Oh yeah, no one will pay attention to that, no, no, not at all!" Marron threw her hands in the air to release some frustration that filled her head.
"Shit. Bra, scram!" Trunks waved at Bra to tell her to leave.
"Oh no, this is good, I've been waiting for an opportunity like this." Bra didn't stop smiling.
"How did you know it was me Bra?" Marron had to know how Bra recognized her. She knew how Bra recognized Trunks but not her.
"That's easy, I remember you from the party. It was not hard to tell who you were since you were the hostage Trunks took." Bra said.
"Now what are we going to do?" Marron looked at Trunks for a solution.
"First, Bra, where's mom?"
"She had to go to a meeting here since you're on 'vacation' and she let me tag along to tour around. She told me to get used to it since I'll be her official heir when I'm old enough to be."
"That's 6 years away. Okay good. Where's dad?"
"He's at home in Japan watching the house."
"That's even better. Marron if we leave now, we can avoid my mom and go to the next city to look around."
"Oh, we didn't even get to tour." Marron said sadly.
"We'll tour later but we need to get out of here if my mom's in this town. If she sees you, then she'll call your parents."
"Okay, we can leave immediately." Trunks and Marron began to walk off.
"Hey!!! You didn't forget me did you? I want to go to!!!" Bra ran up to walk with them.
"No way!! Scram!!" Trunks said loudly.
"If you don't let me, then I'll tell mom what you plan to do and everyone is going to find you in no time."
"She's right Trunks, everyone will find us before we'll make it to the next town." Marron added. Bra smiled at Marron.
"Trunks, you finally picked a decent girl to go out with this time." Bra winked at Marron.
They both blushed. "No Bra, Marron and I aren't going out but you still shouldn't come."
"I shouldn't, but I will be anyway, I'll get my stuff at my hotel and meet you guys at yours in 30 minutes. Where's your hotel?"
"The one right next to the airport." Marron gave Bra intructions.
"Who's side are you on Marron?" Trunks began to whine himself.
"The one that's going to let me be free still. Look, we have no choice. She'll tell and they'll find us if we don't let her come. Besides, she can't be that bad can she? She's not a child."
"Easy for you to say, you're both girls."
"Trunks, it can't be that bad."
"FINE!! LET HER COME!!" Trunks stormed off to a clear spot and pulled out his capsule car.
"By Bra, see you in 30." Marron rushed over to the car and Trunks drove them away.
"Thanks Marron. This is the best thing I ever thought of." Bra happily walked off and got her stuff from her hotel. She couldn't wait to start her adventure with Marron and Trunks…..
