Disclaimers: Don't own DBZ, never have, never will.

*Two Years Later*

Marron embraced Paresu, giggling loudly. "I can't believe we did it, Mar!" squealed Paresu. Marron held onto her graduation cap (?) as her best friend hugged her again. "There're my favorite girls!" Marron turned and hugged Goten tightly. "Glad to see you decided to come?" she teased. Goten shrugged. "Eh...not like I had anything else to do." Marron punched his chest playfully. "That's real cute," she mocked. Goten laughed. "Thanks." Paresu looped her arm around his middle. "Well guys, everything's over." Marron shook her head. "Just high school. College is up now." Goten chuckled. "And so are dorm rooms."

"What was that?"

The three teens turned around to see Chi Chi eyeing them angrily. "Oh, uh, nothing Mom." Goten blushed. "Um...isn't that Dad in the cake?" Chi Chi whirled around. "Goku!" she shrieked. Paresu sighed. "That was cold." There was the sound of sickening slap against Goku's cheek from his ever so gentle wife.

Marron looked over her shoulder as Pan and Bura ran up to Paresu. Sometime during the past two years, Bura and Paresu had made up. Marron didn't know how, just that one day they were talking again.

She met Trunks eyes and grinned. "C'mere!" he called. She walked to him and smiled brightly. "What are you doing here, college man? Shouldn't you be in class or something?" Trunks sighed. "Fair, fair. Next time I won't show up." Marron rolled her eyes. "Next graduation is your sister's. I highly doubt Bulma will let you miss it." Trunks smiled. "By then I'll be in my own office." Marron nodded. Trunks looked at her curiously. "Why did you forgive me?" Marron shrugged, tucking blonde curls behind her ears. "I guess because I remember a little boy saving me from those mean kids a long time ago." Trunks laughed. "Yeah, but not too long after that I dumped you."

Marron sighed, then said between her teeth. "Stop...while...you're...ahead." Trunks laughed, bringing her close. "Congradulations, Mar." The blonde grinned. "Thanks Trunks." She stepped back and cupped his cheek. "You're a great friend." Trunks held her hand. "You too." She smiled before someone tapped her shoulder.

She spun around quickly and met chocolate brown eyes. "Ubuu!" she squealed before wrapping her arms around his neck in a tight hug. He laughed, giving a face to Trunks that said, 'HELP!' Trunks couldn't help but laugh at the blushing boy. "Trunks Vegeta Briefs! Get over here and give me a hug!" screamed Paresu.

Marron released the rather embarrassed Ubuu. "I thought you were staying in Jamaica for summer vacation?" Ubuu shrugged. "I made a promise two years ago that I can't let go." Marron quirked a finely polished brow. "What might that be?" Ubuu smirked. "For me to know."

"And me to find out?" finished Marron. Ubuu nodded. "Yep. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a girl to seduce." Marron turned around to find Pan grinning broadly. Marron couldn't help but notice what fine, young women Pan and Bura had grown into. "Congrats, Marron." The blonde returned the smile. "Thanks Pan. Not too long till yours, ya know?" Pan laughed, taking Ubuu's hand. "Yeah...well, you better be happy I'm here." Marron frowned. "Why's that?" Pan motioned to her dress. "I hate dresses, you know that." Marron grinned. "I appreciate it but you didn't have to wear a dress." Ubuu smirked. "I kinda told her you'd like it." Pan gasped. "You little sneak!"

Marron smiled as the two continued to flirt. She walked over to the concrete steps and observed the school she'd called home the past four years. It was all over now. She watched as couples embraced and whispered to one another. She had that once. She'd been truly happy once as well.

She studied the sky, secretly hoping that a flash would fly across and he'd be back, but she knew, from the reports Bulma had been recieving, Mirai Bulma was healing but the buildings were taking longer than expected.

"C'mon Mar, let's get a group shot!" laughed Paresu, dragging Goten by his fingers. Marron rose up. She didn't want them to have the slightest suspicion that she was upset. "Okay, how about by the school billboard?" Paresu nodded. "Great! C'mon Goten, you're in it too!" He groaned while winking boyishly at Marron. She gasped. "Paresu...your boyfriend is like, totally hitting on me!" she exclaimed, her voice becoming rather ditzy. Paresu put her hands on her hips. "Like...how many times to I have to tell you?" Goten studied the two. "You guys are dorks." Marron laughed, hugging Paresu as the two caught up with him and pulled him into the picture.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

"Oh my God!" she gasped, glancing about the new, beige apartment. "Happy birthday dear," smiled her father. Marron raced to him and hugged him tightly. "Thanks Daddy!" she squealed, kissing his already blushing cheeks. Her mother chuckled happily behind them as she glanced about the place. "Its not Kame Island," commented her mother quietly, as she opened the beige drapes.

Marron looked out the window to see the ocean sparkling like a fresh sapphire only a few miles away. The late afternoon glow made Satan City appear to be on fire as she stood, staring out at the world. "Thanks you guys," she whispered. "Tomorrow we'll start unpacking." Marron frowned to her mother. "Unpacking?" She nodded. "We already had everything packed up." Marron shook her head. "This is too much, guys." Her parents smiled warmly. "Come on dear, let's get you home so you can sleep in our house one last time." Marron nodded and followed them outside into the warm, Indian summer air.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

"And at six we'll come over."

Marron shook her head. "Bulma, you really don't have to." The older woman smiled. "Don't worry honey, I'm the best at throwing parties." Trunks and Bura began to laugh. Bulma whirled around. "Oh what? Just because I'm just a little older than you doesn't mean I can't throw a party!" Vegeta snorted. "A 'little' older?" The siblings burst out in laughter as Bulma began to spout off at her husband's back.

Marron smiled. "Bulma?" The woman turned around, her face flushed with anger. Marron grinned. "I would love for you to throw my party." Bulma turned to her children. "At least some people still have respect." Vegeta smirked. "For their elders." The two Briefs children spurted out giggles as Marron hid hers carefully. When she figured that she could no longer contain them, she turned to leave with the sound of breaking glass following her steps.

"Mar! Wait up!"

She turned to find Trunks chasing after her. He caught up to her and grinned. "Hey...I was wondering, that since...well you'll need a date for the party and so will I." Marron smiled. "Are you asking me on a date, Trunks Briefs?" He brushed back his glossy lavender hair while staring at the ground. "I mean as friends, ya know?" Marron lifted his chin. "As friends?" He nodded, blushing heavily. "Just friends...cause-"

Marron grinned. "I'd love to...as friends." Trunks nodded, a smile of relief flooding his handsome features. "As friends." Marron kissed his cheek. "See ya tomorrow." He nodded and waved as she pulled out onto the highway, heading home.

Goten's laughter broke Trunks train of thought.

"What are you doing here?" Goten grinned boyishly. "Came by to pick up that jacket for my date when I saw Marron kiss you." Trunks shoved his chuckling friend's shoulder. "It was an acception to my invintation." Goten frowned. "I asked her out...she said yes," explained Trunks. Goten nodded. "Oh." He laughed a bit before frowning. "I thought you said that you were done with trying to get her?" Trunks nodded. "As friends Goten, we're going as friends."

Goten nodded as the sound of a rather speedy car could be heard pulling up to the house.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

"Oh Mar, this is so great!" laughed Paresu as she sipped her third glass of champange. Marron grinned. "Thanks Paresu...but actually Bulma did all of this." The two watched as the classy woman floated about the room gracefully, speaking with various groups of people who dotted Marron's apartment.

"Speaking of Bulma," whispered Paresu behind her glass. "How's our dear Trunksie poo doing?" Marron frowned softly, taking a long sip. "I haven't heard from him in about three months." Paresu frowned. "Did ya'll break up?" Marron shrugged. "Who knows." Paresu smiled, hugging her friend softly. "He does."

Marron followed her friend's finger to a group of girls in the corner. Marron glanced at her friend. "Who's over there?" Paresu sighed. "Aren't you supposed to be brilliant, Mar?"

Marron walked over hestiantly as every nerve in her body jumped, every moment placed perfectly. If she was correct with who she hoped was the center of the attention then she would be complete once again. She abruptly turned as a hand grabbed her arm delicately.

"Where ya going?" Marron turned to Trunks. "I was going to go talk to some people...why? Have another ex girlfriend that you have to make jealous?" she teased. Trunks sighed happily. "Actually there's a girl I wanted to talk to over there and was wondering if it was alright?" Marron smiled. "We're just here as friends, Trunks. Hell, I don't care if you sleep with the girl."

Trunks eyes grew.

"But I'm not saying to do it!" she corrected quickly. Trunks kissed her cheek. "Thanks Mar." She nodded as he walked away.

She couldn't figure out if this sudden sweetness was to 'woo' her or to be just himself. She heard an uproar of girly laughter and she turned back to the crowd of girls. She silently slipped over behind a few of the girls and peered over their shoulders.

Deep, depressed navy met her own and she smiled brightly. "Hey."

The girls turned to her with disgusted eyes. They parted quickly as he rose up from leaning against the wall and smiled to her. "Hi." He took her hand and led her to her balcony, over looking the ocean and city. Safe for the thudding stereo and murmurs of laughter, it was silent outside.

She couldn't believe it was him, standing there beside him. Her Trunks had returned home yet it was just as if he hadn't been gone a day.

She smiled softly before the two began to laugh suddenly. They couldn't figure out why they were laughing but it felt right and soon those happy outburst turned into tears as she held him tightly, sobbing into his chest as he held her with a fierce intensity and strength. She held onto his arms with desparation. She'd never really cried over him leaving her, she'd never mourned loosing him. Yet now none of that mattered, because every possible emotion that had built up over the two years he'd been gone burst through and she was finally happy.

Mirai Trunks grinned to her, whispering words of sympathy as he tried to get her under control. She glanced up and wiped away her smearing make-up. "I look like a mess, huh?" she giggled, wiping roughly. M Trunks grinned. "You look perfect." Marron shook her head, hitting his chest softly. "You suck at lying," she whispered before kissing him shyly.

"Awwww!" squealed a familiar voice. The two turned to find Paresu, clenching another full glass of champange. "You two are so cute!" she gasped, walking to them a bit unsteadily.

"Ubuu! Trunks! Goten!" she screamed. The three came to her and Ubuu burst through the door to shake hands with M Trunks. "Great to have you back," he exclaimed. M Trunks returned the gesture as the two spoke awhile. Next Goten shook his hand. "Welcome back." Marron could still see a bit of resentment from Goten. Yet she feared Trunks reaction the most.

He walked forward, his arms twitching with a need to fight. Marron's eyes pleaded heavily for the two not to do so.

Then, Trunks extended his hand to the other. "Congradulations, man." M Trunks shook his past self's hand. "Thanks." The two kept their faces stern as an understanding was silently met.

Marron smiled and hugged Trunks. "Thanks," she whispered into his ear. He nodded curtly before ushering everyone back inside.

Marron looked back up to him with adoring eyes. "I love you," she whispered. He grinned softly. "You know how long I've been waiting to hear that?" Marron kissed him gently. "Two years maybe?" He chuckled before kissing her once again. Her lips were so soft, so sweet. It was like heaven in a female form.

Marron leaned against him as the sun set behind the ocean. She hadn't been swimming in about a month now. She turned to him with an idea. Glancing back to the party a moment, she noticed her presence was not missed. She didn't care for once though. She climbed onto the ledge of the balcony with M Trunks flying up a bit, his hands securely upon her hips. She gave his hands a slight squeeze before turning to him with an openess that surprised even himself. The sun was playing at her features the same way it had that night they first made love. Her lips began to curve into a sexy smirk. She then asked in a tone just above a whisper...

"Ever been skinny dipping?"
