A/N: Hey you guys! I am the worst monkey in the world right now when it
comes to updating. I'm real sorry, some things came up unexpectedly and I
was given responsibility that I wasn't prepared for. You see, my
grandfather came home from the hospital and my aunt entrusted me to take
care of his pills that he has to take (8 different pills everyday, 9 every
other day). Not only that, I have to make sure he's fed and is taken care
of. I really don't blame my aunt, out of all my family members I'd put my
grandfather's life into my hands and no one else's. Yeah, and also I just
did this G.S. Campout that I worked non-stop on. I'm really tired. I
tried so hard to put this chapter out on Thursday or Friday but this
chapter was so long I didn't have the chance to finish typing it. Between
Friday and Sunday I only got 12 hours of sleep the whole time and all I did
when I was awake was work. I hope you like the chapter!
2nd A/N: Of course, I have to give THANK YOU's to all my reviewers! Special BIG THANK YOU's to Lily, Angie, Moon Dawntreader, Starr, Lady Tsukya, Saiyangirl, flow sista, and so many other reviewers that it's gross. Oh, and I am so happy with all the reviews I got for chapter 9, you see, that was a flashback and I usually get very little reviews from flashbacks but that last flashback had the most reviews I've ever gotten from a chapter THANK YOU!!!!!!! You all get G.S Cookies and Gel Pens for your notebooks! You can have the most fun with those things!! Enjoy the chapter!!
3rd A/N: Whew! Okay, my busy schedule is finally over. All I have to worry about now is school and that's not to big of a problem. Basically, this means to expect more chapters very soon.
Ch.11 -
Trunks and Marron were now back in their hotel room in their separate rooms. Both of them were packing very quickly not saying a word.
"Why is he so mad about Bra coming? She's only 16! What harm could she possibly do?!" Marron thought. "I haven't even been able to take one picture either!" Marron capsuled all her stuff and knocked on Trunks' door, the door that connected the rooms.
Trunks was packed and sat on the edge of his empty bed holding his capsules. "Why does Bra have to come? The whole point on this trip was to get away from my work and family." Trunks sighed and turned his head when Marron knocked on the door.
"Trunks?"
"Yeah Marron? You can come in if you want."
Marron walked in, "Um…. Are you ready?"
"Yeah, Bra's not due for another 10 minutes."
Both were a little silent. "Trunks, what is so wrong about Bra coming?"
"I wanted to get away from my family but now it seems I just can't."
"She's only 16. What can she possibly do?"
"A lot."
"What has she done?"
"Annoy me."
"Look, maybe she needs some space from her parents too."
Trunks smirked, "No kidding, if mom's going to make Bra her heir, then she's in for the worst years of her life."
"All the more reason she should be allowed to come with us."
"mmmm…."
"It won't be as bad as it seems."
"Fine, fine, not like I have a choice anyway." Trunks shrugged.
Marron nodded and smiled and landed herself right next to Trunks sitting on the bed. Marron had to admit that it was nice being close to him like this. "Where's the next town?" She decided to pick a subject that wouldn't lead them into arguing.
"It's only two hours away, I think." Actually, it was hard for Trunks to think. Without hesitation Marron just sat next to him and laid some of her weight on him. "Uh…I think it's time we go outside and wait for Bra." 'So much for making it last Trunks, you idiot.' He thought.
"All right, let's go. Bra's going to need a disguise to."
"Good, I'll be able to stand looking at her."
"Oh! You're terrible!" Marron giggled and they walked outside to wait for Bra. Sure enough, right when they were outside looking for her, she walked up the street and greeted. "Hi! Right on time! Now let's get out of here!" Bra smiled cheerfully.
"First things first, Bra, did you leave anything for Mom and Dad?"
"Yeah, I left them a letter."
"What did it say?"
"That I ran into you and decided to tag along."
"Did you mention me?" Marron cut in.
"Oh! That's what I forgot. I forgot to tell them that you were with Trunks still, your parents are soooo worried."
Marron closed her eyes and smiled. "Good, this will still work. Let's go Trunks."
Trunks once again decapsuled his car and everyone got in. Bra sat in the back while Trunks drove and Marron in the passengers seat. The hood was down. It took a mere 10 minutes to get out of the town and drive through grassy fields.
"So how long have you guys been here?" Bra decided to break the silence that was developing.
"We only got to Korea this morning. We put our stuff in the hotel rooms and shopped until we found you." Marron said.
"You mean when I found YOU." Marron formed a little sweatdrop.
"How were you able to recognize me so well Bra? You've only seen me really at that party."
"Think about it, it's kinda hard not to notice you when your brother threatens to blast you."
At that moment Trunks swerved the car jerking both Bra and Marron. "Sorry, lost my balance there for a minute."
"Yeah right." Bra narrowed her eyes at Trunks giving a death glare to him. "Anyway, why did you kidnap Marron Trunks?"
"To get away, it required me to take a hostage and Marron was the one who was right there."
"Ah…and you don't mind Marron?"
"No, I wanted to get away myself, besides, this trip has been fun." Marron said.
"Cool, think about it Trunks, now you have two hostages!"
"Great." Trunks said sarcastically.
"Maybe we can get Pan as a hostage to!"
"No!" Trunks almost ran over a dog.
"What's wrong with Pan?"
"She was bad enough on the Black Star Hunt, also it would be three girls and 1 guy. That wouldn't be fair."
"Oh? And who did you have in mind for a second guy?"
"Goten of course. Hey, that's what we should do, have Goten along as well."
"Yeah, Goten is fun to be around with."
"No!" This time, Marron was the one who yelled.
"What?" Bra looked completely confused, so did Trunks.
"I-I mean, I think it's fine how it is now." Marron lowered her voice.
"I know you guys haven't talked to each other for a while, but what wrong with him joining?" Trunks pressured the question hoping to find more answers.
"Well, you saw him at the party. He was trying to have you let go of me and have you talk with him. He wanted you to stay." Marron lied, she wasn't ready to fully come out with the truth yet.
The excuse was enough for Bra and Trunks. "Good point, okay, let's make a deal, no more hostages."
"Deal."
"Deal."
They all grew silent once again. None of them felt like talking anymore. Trunks had to concentrate on driving, Marron lost interest of talking since they brought up Goten, and Bra felt to tired to talk, Bulma was making sure she was learning on every trip.
'Forget about Goten Marron. He's in the past, concentrate on the future. That's what you did before and it got you pretty far.' Marron thought. She began to think of the years after her first break up….
FLASHBACK: (remember, I plan to make this the final one.)
Marron is now 22 not sure of what to think anymore. The first person she ever really loved flew off without her even though he said he would stay. Part of it was her fault though, she told him that she wanted to stay instead of leaving.
It was now that her parents really became worried. Marron did nothing now. Ever since Goten flew off and never came back, Marron was in her room lying in bed. She was pale and thin, and hasn't done anything since. Krillen knew he had to do something.
"Honey, we should set her up on a date, much to my dismay, but I want our old Marron back."
"It was Goten that made her like this. We should get him and have him solve this."
"No. I don't think Marron can handle seeing Goten again."
"We have to do something."
"I know what to do." Krillen went to his alarm system and turned all power off.
"What are you doing?!" 18 screeched.
"We have to let her know that we trust her. She needs to feel loved."
18 was thinking of a way to protest but no words came out. "Okay."
Krillen then walked up to Marron's room and entered. "Marron? Sweety?"
"Leave me alone." Marron mumbled and buried her face into her pillow.
"I will in just a minute, but I want you to listen to me. Goten is a jerk. Forget about him. You did what you wanted to do and if he didn't understand that, then he's not the right one for you. Love can take time, you just have to wait and it'll come right when you least expect it. It may seem unbelievable, but trust me, I guarantee that you'll find Mr. Right." Krillen said softly.
Marron rose up from her bed and looked at her father. He always seemed to have a way to make her feel just a tad better. "Thanks dad, I'll keep that in mind. Maybe one day I'll find him…..If I can go out and find him, but that's not possible."
Krillen smiled at Marron, "I was hoping to get to that. I turned off the alarms. Your mother and I both love you and we want to make sure you know that."
Marron returned the warm smile, "I know, I love you too."
Krillen and Marron embraced a hug and then Krillen gave Marron a capsule car. "Here, go drive out somewhere and relax. But promise me you'll return."
"I promise. Thanks dad."
"You're welcome."
Well, the alarms were finally off but Marron was still stuck at her house. Two years went by and now she was 24. Marron felt more lonely than ever. She wanted the kind of love that her parents couldn't give her. On the outside it seemed she was over Goten, but inside she still missed him. Her heart would ache for him at nights when she slept in her bed all alone. Marron began to regret not going with him. She often wondered how he was and what would have happened if she actually left with him. 'I'd be happily married and have kids.' She thought.
Marron was in her room looking out at the never ending ocean once again. Things were back to normal, she was stuck at home cleaning and doing whatever her parents want her to do. She got a bachelor's degree at Harvard, thanks to the home-schooling and she can't even put it to good use. Marron knows her parents really care for her but not enough to let her go. She decided to leave once and for all to leave and to never return to the Kami House.
She knew the perfect plan to, one that'll guarantee her freedom. She still had her escape capsules to, in case she ever needed them. It would be two months before she could actually put her plan to action, but that was the good thing, it gave her time to get every thing ready to go.
Yamcha would be coming over to their house to visit, you know, just to catch up on things and see how everyone was doing. Lucky for Marron, he would always wear the same thing every time he came over. That special yellow suit he wore at the Martial Arts Tournament when Marron was only 4. It took her only a month to find the suit and wig that looked like Yamcha, the make-up was all set for her to paint the scars that he had. It took her the other month to imitate his voice and actions.
The only problem, Yamcha always flew over here. Marron would just have to wait till he's in the attic with Krillen and say to 18 that he's going to the bathroom and escape from the bathroom and use the car from there.
The two months went by and everything was set. Yamcha flew to the island and greeted everyone. Marron came down in her regular clothes and greeted Yamcha as well.
"Mom, Dad? If you need me, you'll know I'll be in my room. It was nice to see you Yamcha." Marron smiled.
"You too Marron." Yamcha smiled as well and began to talk with Krillen and 18.
Marron quickly went to her room and got ready to go. She put on the suit first, then the wig, and applied the make-up last. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she looked exactly like Yamcha. All she had to do now was wait in her room till Krillen and the real Yamcha were in the attic doing a light spar. 30 minutes after she got ready, Marron heard Yamcha and Krillen walk up the stairs past her room, all the way up to the attic. Everything was according to plan.
Marron walked down as Yamcha and saw 18 in the kitchen working on lunch. She gave a quick glance over there and mind her own business walking to the bathroom hoping 18 wouldn't talk to her.
"And where do you think you're going mister?" 18 said wearing and apron.
"The bathroom." Marron said sounding exactly like how Yamcha would.
"Okay, don't be too long, lunch will be ready in 5 minutes."
"A guy like me doesn't need 5 minutes to go the bathroom." Marron smirked, her playing Yamcha was incredible.
18 gave a light laugh and walked back into the kitchen. Marron breathed a little more relaxed and made her way to the bathroom. She went in and locked the door getting her capsule car out. The alarms were disabled, 18 was in the kitchen, Krillen and Yamcha were upstairs. Nothing could stop her now. She was half-way out of the window frame and decapsuled the car right outside. All of a sudden, a knock was on the door.
"Yamcha, when you're done, tell Marron that, lunch is ready." 18 said.
"Uhh…will do."
"You know, she is a wonderful and beautiful girl, so smart and generous. I don't know what I did to deserve her." 18 said softly through the door.
"Um..yeah, I'll be sure to tell her." Marron said a little shaky. Never in her life has she heard her mother say those things about her. Was she serious? Marron was sitting on the windowsill. A wave of guilt flew over her as she sat there. "18?" Marron said still sounding like Yamcha.
"Yes?"
"Do you love Marron that much?"
"Of course."
"Have you told her all those things you said me?"
"No, but I should."
"Do you love her enough to let her go and live on her own?"
There was a slight pause and Marron heard 18 take a deep breath. "I mean to let her go, but I just can't bear to see my little girl go. Believe me, in the long run I think she'll be the happiest here."
Marron stopped feeling guilty. How would her mom know that if she never let her have the chance? "You don't know that for sure."
"No, but I know enough."
"Yeah, I'll tell Marron lunch is ready. You go back to the kitchen." Marron said flatly.
Marron could tell that 18 hadn't moved yet and was still at the door. "Marron, I truly do love you and I just want what's best for you because you're the most incredible woman I know."
"H-how did--" Marron talked in her regular voice now.
"I know that it was you instead of Yamcha? Yamcha's 6 inches taller. If you were a little higher, I wouldn't have been able to figure it out. Also, Yamcha's not that smart to say the things you said in our conversation."
"I want to live on my own mom. It's about time you let me go. If you really love me, you would do as I wish."
"You're asking a lot from me."
"Well, for my whole life you've asked me to do stuff that you wanted from me and I did. Now the one thing I want you won't let me have. It's not fair."
"Marron, I love you. You have to understand that."
"If you really love me, just let me go."
"I can't."
"No, you can, you just don't want to."
"That's right, I want you to stay. So stay Marron please, for me? All I want now is for you to stay."
"All I want is to go."
"What about your father?"
"If I asked, he would let me go."
"How do you know that?"
"Because he knows it's what I've always wanted."
"Marron you can have anything, just as long as you stay." 18 began to sound desperate. "I love you with all my heart."
Marron began to cry right there, sitting on the window sill, still dressed up as Yamcha, not moving, only crying. "Mom, I love you," Marron took a deep breath, "If all you want now is for me to stay, then…then…"
"Yes? I'm listening." 18 softly and gently said.
"then…I guess I'll stay."
"Oh dear, you're doing the right thing."
"But, all I'm going to do now is just stay in my room and come down only for meals and to go to the bathroom. That way, it'll be easier for you to adjust life without me." Marron said bluntly.
18 was a little surprised at the tone Marron sounded. But she was glad that her Marron was still staying. "Thank you Marron, you'll happier than ever now."
"It won't be long before you take that back." Marron said sounding a little angry.
"You just need to relax, lunch is ready."
"I'm coming." Marron dressed into her regular self again in the bathroom. She got her stuff from her capsules, and put them back into her pocket. It was now, that she wished she went with Goten. 'I swear, the next time I see Goten, I'm leaving with him, no matter where we go.'
So when, that party came up 6 months later, Marron was planning to leave with Goten at that party. She was just going to leave and never return. The plan only came up at the hour that they left but it was all she needed.
END FLASHBACK (how was that one?)
Of course, Trunks did things a little differently but Marron felt happier going with Trunks. They were both in the same situation and he was more caring than Goten was. 'He lets me do the things I want to do.' Marron was looking out at the grassy hills thinking about what she just thought of. Bra was asleep and Trunks continued to stare out at the road. Marron gazed at Trunks and stared straight into his eyes, even though he wasn't looking at her.
"Is something wrong Marron?" Trunks whispered not wanting to wake up Bra. He still looked at the road.
"No, I'm just looking." Marron smiled at stared straight ahead now, looking at the road the same way Trunks is.
Trunks blushed and concentrated even harder now at the road. Having feelings for Marron the way he did was beginning to get really hard for him to handle, since he can't do anything to her. She was his hostage right? 'At least I let her know I care.'

All of a sudden, a knock was on the door.
"Yamcha, when you're done, tell Marron that, lunch is ready." 18 said.
"Uhh…will do."
"You know, she is a wonderful and beautiful girl, so smart and generous. I don't know what I did to deserve her." 18 said softly through the door.
"Um..yeah, I'll be sure to tell her." Marron said a little shaky. Never in her life has she heard her mother say those things about her. Was she serious? Marron was sitting on the windowsill. A wave of guilt flew over her as she sat there. "18?" Marron said still sounding like Yamcha.
"Yes?"
"Do you love Marron that much?"
"Of course."
"Have you told her all those things you said me?"
"No, but I should."
"Do you love her enough to let her go and live on her own?"
There was a slight pause and Marron heard 18 take a deep breath. "I mean to let her go, but I just can't bear to see my little girl go. Believe me, in the long run I think she'll be the happiest here."
Marron stopped feeling guilty. How would her mom know that if she never let her have the chance? "You don't know that for sure."
"No, but I know enough."
"Yeah, I'll tell Marron lunch is ready. You go back to the kitchen." Marron said flatly.
Marron could tell that 18 hadn't moved yet and was still at the door. "Marron, I truly do love you and I just want what's best for you because you're the most incredible woman I know."
"H-how did--" Marron talked in her regular voice now.
"I know that it was you instead of Yamcha? Yamcha's 6 inches taller. If you were a little higher, I wouldn't have been able to figure it out. Also, Yamcha's not that smart to say the things you said in our conversation."
"I want to live on my own mom. It's about time you let me go. If you really love me, you would do as I wish."
"You're asking a lot from me."
"Well, for my whole life you've asked me to do stuff that you wanted from me and I did. Now the one thing I want you won't let me have. It's not fair."
"Marron, I love you. You have to understand that."
"If you really love me, just let me go."
"I can't."
"No, you can, you just don't want to."
"That's right, I want you to stay. So stay Marron please, for me? All I want now is for you to stay."
"All I want is to go."
"What about your father?"
"If I asked, he would let me go."
"How do you know that?"
"Because he knows it's what I've always wanted."
"Marron you can have anything, just as long as you stay." 18 began to sound desperate. "I love you with all my heart."
Marron began to cry right there, sitting on the window sill, still dressed up as Yamcha, not moving, only crying. "Mom, I love you," Marron took a deep breath, "If all you want now is for me to stay, then…then…"
"Yes? I'm listening." 18 softly and gently said.
"then…I guess I'll stay."
"Oh dear, you're doing the right thing."
"But, all I'm going to do now is just stay in my room and come down only for meals and to go to the bathroom. That way, it'll be easier for you to adjust life without me." Marron said bluntly.
18 was a little surprised at the tone Marron sounded. But she was glad that her Marron was still staying. "Thank you Marron, you'll happier than ever now."
"It won't be long before you take that back." Marron said sounding a little angry.
"You just need to relax, lunch is ready."
"I'm coming." Marron dressed into her regular self again in the bathroom. She got her stuff from her capsules, and put them back into her pocket. It was now, that she wished she went with Goten. 'I swear, the next time I see Goten, I'm leaving with him, no matter where we go.'
So when, that party came up 6 months later, Marron was planning to leave with Goten at that party. She was just going to leave and never return. The plan only came up at the hour that they left but it was all she needed.
END FLASHBACK (how was that one?)
Of course, Trunks did things a little differently but Marron felt happier going with Trunks. They were both in the same situation and he was more caring than Goten was. 'He lets me do the things I want to do.' Marron was looking out at the grassy hills thinking about what she just thought of. Bra was asleep and Trunks continued to stare out at the road. Marron gazed at Trunks and stared straight into his eyes, even though he wasn't looking at her.
"Is something wrong Marron?" Trunks whispered not wanting to wake up Bra. He still looked at the road.
"No, I'm just looking." Marron smiled at stared straight ahead now, looking at the road the same way Trunks is.
Trunks blushed and concentrated even harder now at the road. Having feelings for Marron the way he did was beginning to get really hard for him to handle, since he can't do anything to her. She was his hostage right? 'At least I let her know I care.'
