Marron, Paresu and Pan lay on the beach, skin tanning rather well. "Thanks for letting me come over guys, Bura was about to drive me crazy!" Marron sat up, looking at Pan. "What do you mean?" Pan sighed a bit then turned to them. "Well you see, she's head over heels for Ubuu and that's all I hear about. If they weren't on a date right now we'd be at the mall with him." Marron giggled. "I'm sorry Pan. Just give her time and they'll eventually want to back off a bit. Then she'll be back to our normal Bura." Pan smiled. "Yeah, I hope your right Marron." Paresu grinned. "Sounds like we're back to our normal, optimistic Marron."
The petite blonde grinned to the glowing ocean. Dusk had hit once again, with a warm gentle breeze. All three of the girls hair skipped across their backs as the sun dipped behind neon pink clouds. Marron let out a content sigh. So what if she had felt sorry for herself all summer, she was having fun with her friends, even if Pan was the youngest of the three, she was far more mature.
"Now who left a group of such fine ladies laying out?" Marron and the other two looked up to find Goten smiling down upon them. "Knock it off Uncle Goten!" Paresu lightly blushed as he crouched down beside her and cradled her in his warm embrace. A quick breeze nipped at Pan and Marron, causing both to shudder.
Jealously, Marron glanced at the happy couple and smiled to the happy Paresu. Goten was whispering sweet nothings into her ear, causing her to giggle occasionally. Pan just rolled her eyes, then met Marron's gaze and stood up. "Are you ready to go in, Marron? I'm beat." Marron nodded and gathered her things before leaving the happy couple.

Thursday came and went by quickly. Pan and Marron went to the mall while Paresu and Goten went to the movies. Goten came home around eleven that night and Pan stayed another night, yet she spent most of it with her grandparents. Marron didn't mind the privacy at all. It had been three days since she'd had any time alone and she was welcoming it.
She glanced outside as night broke out amongst the stars. 'I could always go for a swim and no one would notice,' she thought. She shot a look at her one piece, sitting on a hanger in the shower. 'Only fifteen minutes, Marron. Back inside before anyone notices.'
She glanced around quickly before stepping outside with her towel wrapped protectively around her middle. Striding gracefully out the beach, Marron thought herself quite clever...yet at the same time quite stupid. This was pretty risky. She'd never come close to drowning before, but then again she'd never gone swimming at night without someone with her.
"Oh no you didn't! Are you serious, Bura?" rang out Pan's voice. Marron cursed softly, Pan was on the side lawn. Maybe, if Marron snuck out to the side she wouldn't be noticed? She silently jogged over and swiftly made it without anyone noticing her. To be honest, it wasn't like she was doing anything wrong. It was only eight and the sun was still peeking over West City, only East City was dark. She let her towel fall into a white, cotton pool around her feet.
Glancing once last time to Pan, she gracefully dove into the black water.
Pan jumped, "What was that?"
"...so he told me to stand by the popcorn machine and I, uhh, Pan? Earth ta Pan? You there?" snapped Bura from the other end of the call. Pan frowned then answered. "Oh sorry, thought I heard something....anyways, you were saying?"
Marron went under and waited, effortlessly swimming underneath the waves. Her lungs were stinging a bit, but she was used to this. She had gotten used to it completely by now, next would be burning and then pure pain. It was a bit weird and she had no idea why she did it or what started it. Ever since she could remember she had always done this to herself. She swam about some more as her lungs began to itch with a burning.
'Oh quit complaining, your fine!' she thought to her lungs, twirling a bit. She wondered if Pan had noticed her when she had dove into the water? It didn't matter, if Pan had noticed, someone would be out by now. Now her lungs were burning, stabbing at her ribs. Marron smiled against the water, noticing how much darker and bleaker it was when the sun was dying in the west. She glanced up threw the water to see dark navy melding with deep lavender, rosey, pink and orange hues as stars twinkled above her.
She waved to them with a smile, loosing a bit of her air. 'Oops, can't be doing that, now can we?' Her lungs were now screaming at her for air, threatening to burst soon. Marron smirked, she hadn't lasted this long, ever. She looked up against the sky again, was she getting deeper? Because those stars were becoming bleaker and duller. 'Maybe I should go up just a little higher?'
Marron was beginning to panic. She had gone out either too far or swam to deeply. Her lungs were burning so badly she felt her eyes watering, if that is possible to feel underwater. Her legs kicked faster and faster as her arms grabbed threw the water feverently. Her mind was becoming blurry and her eyes were trying to drift shut. Suddenly her air came gushing out in one fluid breath. 'Great, now I have no air what-so-ever!'

Mirai Trunks brushed his air away from his azure eyes, studying the area around him. Now if Bulma's directions were correct, Kame House should be just...over...there.
Glancing to the left, sure enough, stood a small house. Taking off at Saiyan speed, the forever seventeen Saiyan flew to people he only knew in memories.
-:|:-:|:-:|:-
Marron had enough sense left not to breathe in. The stars were becoming clearer and clearer with each stroke and as if being born again, Marron burst threw, gasping for air. 'Close one, Marron 'ol girl!' Yet it wasn't over, her every limb was numb and she felt very dizzy. It only took mere seconds for Kame House to dim into darkness and water to seep over her head.
Mirai Trunks frowned as a blonde head whipped out of the black water. 'Who the hell?' She gasped and bobbed only a moment before going under again. Mirai Trunks, being so used to saving even the bleakest lives, dove under the water and searched for her.
It was hopeless. Darkness had no enveloped the entire sky and taking the ocean's light with it. Suddenly a thought popped into his head, and like a light bulb he transformed to Super Saiyan, flying even faster threw the water. There! A hand! Drifting deeper, the pale hand fell. Mirai Trunks dove and grabbed it, pulling the rest of her into his arms before flying out of the water into the air.
Pan stood on the grass, her mouth gaped open. The phone had been discarded the moment something dove into the water. She couldn't even hear Bura yelling at the top of her lungs. "PAN? WHAT'S GOING ON!! ARE YOU THERE?! DID YOU HANG UP ON ME AGAIN?!!!?"
Mirai Trunks used the same powers he used to fly with and held them above the water, his legs wading powerfully. Marron's beautiful face stared blankly and very palely, at the stars. Her eyes shut tightly and her lips blue. "Oh no," whispered Mirai Trunks. He shook her insistantly. "Wake up! Hey, c'mon!" He let out a quiet sob, trying his best at mouth to mouth. Nothing, he pressed his head to her chest. There was a very faint heartbeat, but it was fading quick.
He quickly placed his hand to her chest and fired a small amount of his own energy into her heart. She jolted awake suddenly, water spewing from her pale lips. Marron's eyes shot open and her mind came back to normal. She wasn't drifting away anymore, but her chest hurt and in her previous state she had been very tired and very cold yet comforted. Marron gasped in air as soon as her lungs let her, blinking her eyes to find a set of azure orbs challenging her own crystal.
Marron could only hold onto his neck. Not only was she speechless at his beautiful appearance, but her throat was far too groggy to speak. His smile was amazing as he grinned down upon her. "You okay?" Marron gasped, his voice was a bit manlier, but it sounded almost the same. "T-Trunks?" she croaked, grasping her throat in pain. Mirai Trunks smirked. "You know me?" Marron frowned and opened her mouth to speak yet she heard everyone calling her name.
"Marron?!" he gasped. Marron nodded and opened her mouth to speak again, yet Mirai Trunks had already powered up and taken off to the island.
A/N: Yay! They finally met! Hee hee, what will he say when they get back to the island? Got to review for me to continue. I won't continue if I don't get at least two reviews!
