"Buggy, buggy, bug, bug, bug," Marron sang childishly as she followed a beetle on all fours. "Buggy, bu-" Marron suddenly bumped into something. She looked up and saw that Miyu was standing right in front of her. She quickly got up and dusted off her clothes, "Hello."
"Come with me." Miyu turned and began to walk away.
"Uh. . ." Marron blinked a few times, "Hey wait!" She hurried after Miyu. "Where are you going???"
"Just keep up."
Soon they arrived at their destination. It was a beautiful green area, a waterfall rushed down from a high cliff and spilled into a lake that stretched out far beyond their sight. Miyu slowly stepped into the lake and positioned herself directly below the rush of the waterfall. "Come here Marron."
After pulling her shoes off, Marron hopped into the lake and approached Miyu.
"Stand under the waterfall, next to me."
Marron nodded and did as she was told. She glanced over at Miyu, who was standing there silently, with her eyes shut. The water continued to beat down on Marron's body as she stood there, not sure why Miyu had brought her to this place. She wanted to ask but she wasn't quite sure how. The whole thing seemed very unusual to her. "Um. . .Miss Miyu?"
Without opening her eyes, Miyu responded, "Yes?"
"Um. . .why. . .um. . ."
Miyu interrupted, knowing what she was trying to ask. "I understand that Gohan is your master. I thought I'd take it upon myself to give you a bit of my own training that I know Gohan will overlook."
". . .Oh." The band holding her hair up, slowly slipped off and her golden hair fell forward. Marron tried to push back the wet hair that covered her face but the water beating down on her made it impossible.
"Don't worry about it, just stand still."
". . ." Marron crossed her arms and closed her eyes. ~I don't know how much longer I can take this. . .It would help if she'd at least say something, I hate silence~
Miyu smiled slightly at Marron's thoughts, "How are you holding up?"
"I'm cold. . ."
"Good."
". . ."
The two of them stood there in silence for what seemed like hours before Marron decided to speak up again. "Miss Miyu. . .I want to go home."
"Not yet."
"But I'm cold and hungry and my shoulders are starting to hurt really bad."
"Marron, I know that it seems like everyone is being hard on you but we're doing it for your own good. Besides, I know that the stronger you get, the happier your dad will be when he returns."
"You knew my dad?"
"Of course. I knew your parents before they were married. . .Heck, I knew them when 18 hated your dad."
"What was my dad like? Mom tells me he was a really good person but Gohan speaks only ill of him."
"Well. . .When we first met, no one really liked him. Your mother was the first to see past his ways and befriend him. Gohan says bad things about Goku because he never liked him. He spent a long time just trying to over come your father and it was at that time that Gohan become the bitter man that you first knew. We all went through a lot together and Goku. . .well. . . Let's just say he went though some changes. Even so, your mother was always at his side." Miyu stopped for a second, remembering the betrayal she felt back then. ". . .Anyways, I think it was your mother that really changed him."
"Really? She made him better?"
"Yes. . .Like you've made Gohan better."
"I made Gohan better?"
"Yes, you have."
Marron smiled, forgetting about her pain momentarily.
After a while, Miyu stepped from under the waterfall and looked at Marron, "Alright, you can go home now."
Marron got from under it and got out of the lake.
"I want to do this again tomorrow, ok?"
Marron was holding herself, shivering badly, "Ok."
"Be here around noon."
"K-k-kay." She moved one hand away from her body for a moment to move the hair out of her face. When she could see again she looked around to see that Miyu was no longer there. She grumbled softly and started walking home. "So. . .c-cold." The sun was beginning to set and a hint of the moon could be seen in the sky.
"Sup chick?"
Marron jumped slightly, being startled by the sudden voice. She looked up and saw Vegetto sitting in a tree. "Oh. . .hey. . ."
Vegetto jumped down and looked at her, "What happened to you?" He looked down at her feet, "And why aren't you wearing shoes?"
Marron looked down slowly, still shaking from the cold. "S-s-shoot. . .I knew I was forgetting s-something."
"Whoa, hey how long have you been like that?"
"All d-day." She started walking again, "I'm j-j-just going home n-now."
"Hey." Vegetto grabbed her shoulder, "You don't expect me to let you go like that do you?" He pulled his jacket off and draped it over her then scooped her up into his arms. "I'll take you home."
Marron sniffled quietly, "You don't have to, I'm almost there."
"It's still about a mile away and there's no way I'm letting you go in your condition." He started walking with her in his arms afraid that if he were to fly, the wind would make her even colder.
Marron leaned the side of her head against his chest and closed her eyes, "Thank you. . ."
He smiled down at her, "It's no problem."
