"Come on brat, time for lunch."
Marron turned around and walked towards the building. She sat down on the floor, picked up a bowl and began to eat.
"Still not talking to me?"
Marron continued to eat hastily, not looking at him.
"Come on! It was too long and it was getting in your way."
"It was not!" Marron put down her bowl and grabbed on to her shoulder length hair.
"Yes it was. It was touching the ground."
"You could have at least asked me before you just burned it off. It's all uneven now and I have split ends."
"Oh don't be so whiny. Your mom can fix it when we go back."
Marron got up and walked back out into the training area. "How much longer are we going to be in here?"
"Three days." Gohan walked up behind her and looked around at the nothingness.
~Three days. . .I can't take another minute of this~
Almost a year had passed since Gohan brought Marron to this place. She learned many techniques and had reached the level of super saiyan two, after only three months. Gohan was quite pleased with himself for getting so far in her training in such a short amount of time. Marron, however, just wanted to go home. She was only being obedient because she feared him. Especially after she nearly escaped once. Gohan caught her and fought her, nearly killing Marron in the process. She spent two weeks in a comma but thanks to her saiyan blood, she was stronger once she had recovered.
Gohan put his hand on her shoulder. "Tell you what. Since you've been so good lately we'll leave now."
Marron perked up. "Really?!"
"Yes. Now come on, let's go before I change my mind."
Marron ran back inside and waited beside the door. "Hurry, hurry!"
Gohan walked up to her and opened the door.
Marron ran out and smiled as she took in a deep breath of the fresh morning air.
Gohan walked around to her front and looked down at her. "Rest for a few days. I'll see you soon." He turned around and flew off.
Marron sighed. "I'm still going to have to see him? When is this going to end?" She ran forward a few steps then jumped into the air and flew away.

"Mom!"
18 looked towards the front door and her eyes widened. "Marron!" She ran up to Marron and wrapped her arms around her. "Marron where on earth have you b-" She leaned back and looked at her daughter in shock. She was at least an inch taller, her hair was much shorter and singed at the bottom, she was wearing broken saiyan armor and she was filthy.
Marron began to sob as she told her mother what happened.
"Damn him. I can't believe he did that without asking me first. . ." ~Actually I can believe it but he still should have asked~ 18 wiped Marron's tears away. "Come on. Let's get you in a nice hot bath and I'll make dinner. You can tell me more about what happened later."
Marron nodded and followed her upstairs.

"Marron I'm so proud of you. You've gotten really strong."
After a bath and dinner, 18 decided to cut Marron's hair so that it was even.
"I have? Gohan still says I'm a weakling."
"Yes well, that's just the way Gohan is." 18 put the scissors down and brushed Marron's hair out. "He's hard to understand. You'll get used to it one day."
"I don't want to get used to it."
18 sighed and put the brush down. She walked around and looked down at Marron.
"Mom. . .Why do I have to learn all this fighting stuff? I don't get it. . .Why won't anyone explain it to me!?!?"
"Marron. . .You'll understand some day."
Marron got down from her chair and looked up at her mother. "I want to understand now!"
"Marron. . ."
Marron looked at her silently for a moment until she decided that her mother wasn't going to say anything. She looked at her for a second longer then ran to her room and slammed the door shut behind her.
18 sat down on one of the chairs at the dinning room table. ~You've had to grow up too fast. But things have to get easier for you. . .they just have to~
