Marron walked through the front door of her house and dropped her book bag on the ground. She saw her mother sitting on the couch next to another person. The two of them were talking in a light, cheerful tone. Marron walked up behind the couch and touched 18's shoulder lightly. "Hey mom."

18 turned her head and smiled, "Marron there's someone I'd like you to meet."

Marron walked to the side of the couch and hopped up onto the armrest. She glanced at the girl on the opposite side of her mother.

"Miyu, this is my daughter Marron."

The girl glanced at Marron. "Hello."

"Hi." Marron looked into her strange yellow eyes uncertainly. She looked as if she were a young teenager but something about her made her seem much older.

"I've known Miyu for a very long time." 18 glanced at Miyu, "Though I haven't seen her since before you were born."

Miyu turned her head in the opposite direction, letting her long ponytail fall to the front of her shoulder. "I've been. . .busy."

"Yeah sure."

Miyu looked back at her, "I have!"

"Yeah, uh huh. Whatever you say."

Miyu rolled here eyes.

Marron looked at them both oddly. "Right well. . .I'm gonna go to Gohan's and train for a while. . .It was nice to meet you miss Miyu." She hopped down from the armrest and left.

18 rubbed her head, waiting for Miyu to start.

"Why is she going to Gohan's house to train???"

"Because. . .Gohan's sorta. . .her master."

Miyu stared at her blankly. "You're letting Gohan. . .THE Gohan. . .Train your daughter?"

"Well what else was I supposed to do? Goku's gone. . .She's got saiyan blood, my training wouldn't be enough."

Miyu sighed and nodded. "You know. . .Goku's not gonna be too happy with this arrangement."

"I don't think he'll mind too much once he sees how strong she's gotten."

"I hope you're right." Miyu got to her feet and looked down at 18. "I really must be going. I promise it won't be so long between visits from now on."

"I'm going to hold you to your word." 18 got up and walked her to the door. "I've missed you. I'm very happy to have seen you again."

They hugged each other and then Miyu opened the door. "I missed you too." She smiled and walked out, closing the door behind her.

*****

"Yeah she looked kinda weird but my mom seemed to be very happy that she was there."

"What's her name?"

"Um. . .Miyu or something like that."

Vegetto perked up, "Miryeew! I haven't seen her since I was little!"

Marron gave him a confused look, "I don't think that's her name."

Vegetto laughed and ran his fingers through his wild, black hair. "I know. It is Miyu but I couldn't pronounce it the first time I tried to say her name and it seemed to get on her nerves so from that day on I never said it the right way."

Marron smiled, "Oh, I see."

The two of them were outside, sitting in a tall tree. Marron looked up at him from a lower branch. "So how would you say my name if you didn't know how to pronounce it?"

Vegetto looked down at her. "Um. . .Moron?"

"Hey!!!"

"What?! It's true!"

"Humph. . .Whatever Vegetable." Marron jumped down and landed on the ground gracefully. "You're just a big meany!" She crossed her arms and started walking away.

Vegetto's eyes widened, "Hey wait!" He jumped down and chased after her, "Marron!" He grabbed her shoulders and stopped her. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it."

Marron turned around with a huge smile on her face, "Got ya!"

"Ack!" Vegetto fell back and closed his eyes.

Marron giggled and nudged him with her foot. "Let's go get something to eat."

". . ."

". . .Vegetto?"

". . ."

Marron kneeled down beside him and shook his shoulder, "Get up, stop playing around."

". . ."

"Vegetto I'm serious!!!" Marron's eyes started to burn, "I'm sorry, I was just messing with you."

Without opening his eyes, Vegetto quickly grabbed Marron's waist. He tossed her to the ground beside him and pinned her to the ground.

Marron let out a small scream. "Vegetto! You idiot, you had me worried about you!!!" She pulled her wrists out of his grip and pushed him off.

Vegetto was just laughing like crazy.

Marron fixed her hair and glared down at him, "I give up."

Vegetto got up and hugged her, "Aww, I'm sorry."

"Yeah, yeah. Now come on, I'm hungry."

"Ok." He let go and Marron proceeded to smack him in the back of his head. "Ow!"

"Now we're even."
