"And you know what else? You're a cry baby."
Marron looked at him with wide eyes, trying to hold her tears back.
"See you're going to cry right now aren't you? Quit being so weak."
Marron clenched her fists. "I'm not a cry baby. And I'm not weak!"
"Prove it."
She just glared at him.
"Humph. Useless half breed."
Marron growled fiercely. She hopped slightly and with a jabbing motion, hit Gohan in the jaw. Then she spun around in the air and slammed her heel into his ribs.
Gohan smirked and grabbed her by the throat. "You've got guts kid but you shouldn't start fights with people that are far beyond your power."
Marron put her hands around his, trying to break free.
Gohan dropped her and crossed his arms. "Pathetic."
~He's right. He's too strong for me~ Marron stood up slowly and lowered her head. ~I guess this is why I'm supposed to be training. . .So I can defend myself~
"You gonna cry?"
She looked up at him with a determined expression. "No."
"Good. Emotions make you weak."
". . .Yes. . .sir."
"Hm?" He looked at her curiously. "Have you finally accepted me as your master?"
". . .Yes."
"It's about damn time. We've known each other for over a year now."
Marron sat down and sighed.
"Hey." Gohan kneeled down in front of her and put his hand on her shoulder. "I know I'm tough on you but. . .You mean a lot to me kid. You remind me of myself when I was young."
Marron looked at him with shock in her eyes. "Really?"
"Yeah but-" he took his hand off her shoulder tapped the side of her head, "Don't let it go to your head. This doesn't change anything between us." He stood back up, put his index and middle finger to his forehead and vanished.
Marron smiled and got to her feet. ~So he doesn't really hate me~ She used the same technique as him and vanished.

Marron appeared in her living room. "Mom?"
"You're home already?" 18 called from the kitchen.
"Yeah. But I'm going to bed so I can get up early tomorrow." Marron ran up the stairs without another word.
"But what about dinner?!" 18 stepped back and looked out into the living room. "Marron?" She sighed and walked back to the counter. "Strange. She's never skipped dinner before."
"Wow!" Marron shut her door and picked up the garment that was lying on her bed. It was an orange and blue training outfit, just like the one Gohan wore. "I guess Gohan put this here." She changed into the outfit and looked in her full-length mirror. "It's so light." She put her hair up into a ponytail and continued to look at herself. She couldn't help but think that she looked more like a warrior then she ever had before. "I'm. . .Going to train hard and make my mother and Gohan proud of me."
