READ THIS AS OF 7/2/04 - No, I'm not ending the fic. I'm just
rewriting the first two chapters to add information and what not to help
make the story a little clearer okay? Since it's been so long anyway you
might want to reread it as well.
Disclaimer: I do not own Dragonball, Dragonball Z, or Dragonball GT throughout this entire fic or ever. I never will. This is just a fic to read and enjoy, nothing else.
A/N: Behold your eyes, the fic I have been working months on, sort of. I was writing this whenever I felt like it, which during school is never. Not only that, I said I wouldn't put this fic up until I wrote down all the chapters, I was wrong.......These chapters are a lot longer than what I was anticipating. Anyway, I think putting up the first chapter is safe, I'm almost done with chapter six, I know, kinda pathetic after 6 months. But hey, maybe if you guys give me a little encouragement I could produce a lot more chapters in no time! Also, since my room is full of smelly poison bug spray (damn ants, they spread like water in the summer) I'm going to be up for a while. Enjoy!
2nd A/N: I suppose you guys want to know what exactly this fic is about. Here it goes: Bulma suddenly takes a vacation after not having one in ages and leaves Marron, her protégé for two years, in the hands of fixing the gravity machine and then some. However, trouble is about in the other time that Mirai Trunks is from and it spreads to her time! With both Bulma and Goku gone it's up to the new gang to save Earth, the Universe, and Time.
Ch. 1 - Trouble Brewing
"Okay, now when I push the blue wire against the red wire, it should increase the processing speed by 20%." Marron tiredly said. More than once she's had doubts about being Bulma's protege, but two years ago Bulma gave her an offer she couldn't refuse. However, had she known what she was getting into, she would have said no, even though it would have meant the end of the world, again and again.
"Marron, do you have it working faster yet?" Bulma yelled from what sounded like far away, but really only a distance of a foot.
"Almost." Marron replied. She groaned when realizing twisting two wires together can actually be very difficult when one is physically weak. "There! It should work now." After a few minutes Marron rolled out from underneath the gravity machine and wiped her forehead with her hand. "Bulma, you really should consider teaching Vegeta how to fix his machine. It would save us a lot of hassle." The blond gestured, sitting right next to Bulma, who was standing right above her checking the repairs.
"You think I haven't tried? Every single time he gets frustrated with it because he makes an error he blows up and takes it out on the gravity machine. It really is just easier for all of us if we fix it and not him." The blue haired woman sighed. Marron looked up at Bulma from where she was sitting and smiled. For someone who is as old as her, she looked incredible for her age. The only indication that she was over the age of 50 were the bags under her eyes and the fact that Bra's hair was more blue and rich than hers. Of course, Bra's an exact clone of Bulma when she was 16. Marron has always had admiration for Bulma. No matter what her father says, she truly believed that Bulma was the strongest human in the world, even the Universe.
"Maybe you should relax a bit Bulma. Take a vacation." Marron suggested, she's noticed that Bulma's been looking very tired for the past 6 months, since the last fiasco happened, one that nearly killed Marron as well.
"Mmmmm, it'd be the right time to do it now wouldn't it?" Bulma looked down at Marron from where she was standing.
Marron looked away from Bulma and stared hard at the ground. "Yeah, it's over and we're not due for another fiasco for a year." Marron finally looked back up and half smiled.
"You'll be fine without me Marron right? You seem to be in better spirits, you hardly talk about Tony anymore and you're not as grumpy."
'NO! Don't leave!' "Of course, Tony is in the past, I could hardly give a care if he actually shows up one of these days. It's the perfect time to go on a vacation." Marron always spoke her thoughts, er, at least tried to. Marron has hardly forgotten her ex-boyfriend, rather ex-fianc(, and would dread the thought of Bulma leaving her now.
"I was thinking of going to Planet Paradise. You know, that real expensive resort?" Bulma calmly mentioned.
'Why so far?!' "H-how long do you plan to go?" Marron swallowed hard. She knew Bulma, it was in her voice, she was planning to go far and to go very soon.
"Oh, just two weeks."
"When do you plan to go?" 'She won't go for another year. By then another life threatening even will happen. She won't go, I'm safe.' Marron may always seem to worry or be grouchy, but deep inside she always believes in hope.
"You know what? I can go tomorrow! I'll go tomorrow!" Bulma had a determined look. Yes, she did have this planned, but never told Marron because of the circumstances and was afraid to see her reaction.
Marron went wide eyed. 'Tomorrow?!' "Tomorrow?! What about your family? Don't you think they need a warning before you go?" The bun that Marron had in her hair began to slip out of place.
"Trunks is on his own, he won't care, Bra and Vegeta have told me constantly I need to get out of here and relax. They've been expecting it." Marron got herself up looking very worried, which she did try to hide.
Bulma noticed Marron's concern and merely giggled. "Marron, this vacation has been planned. I do own a plateau over there."
"S-so soon though?" Marron protested.
"Yes! If anything, why did I wait till now? Marron, I need to go now or I'll never go. You'll be fine without me for two weeks, besides, if you ever need anything, you know Trunks is always here." Bulma said soothingly and winked. "He's always here for you."
Marron rolled her eyes. She knew what Bulma meant. 'I'll never let you go.' "Okay, have fun....." Marron considered wishing for a new mouth.
"Thank you. Here, come help me pack." Bulma grabbed her hand and led her into her bedroom.
"Bulma, why are you so bent on leaving now?" Marron asked as she folded shorts in a suit case. It's not that she doesn't want her to go, Marron's not ready yet after only two years, regardless how independent she is and how calm everything is now.
Bulma hesitated. "I got a letter from Planet Paradise saying that they want me to try out new inventions that help relax a person, since I'm the one who really helped them get the technology they have today."
"Oh, so you're going to see how some stuff works?" Marron narrowed her eyes. It's one thing to have a vacation, but a whole other story to work while trying to have fun. Marron knows from experience.
"Well, and also help with errors in them." Bulma bit her lip.
Marron tossed a shirt into a suit case very violently. "You're not really going to relax, just upgrade inventions?"
"Marron, all I do around here is fix a gravity machine! I'm wasting the rest of my beautiful years in one spot, I need to get out before I can't travel anymore!" Bulma whined.
"Does your family approve?" Marron raised an eyebrow. "Do they know the real purpose of this trip?"
Bulma waved a hand in front of her. "Oh yeah, they've known for weeks."
"And now you decide to tell me?!" Marron screeched. "You really did have this trip planned! I bet you practiced this conversation as well!"
"Marron, please, I really need this. This is for me. Not for Vegeta, not for my kids, not for any of my friends, but just me." Bulma squeezed Marron's hand.
"Oh....all right! All right! Go! Just promise me you'll enjoy yourself okay?" Marron grumbled. Although, she was really excited for Bulma, not that she would ever show it.
Bulma smiled, "I promise." She zipped up her suit case.
The next day......
Bulma's family and Marron were all outside CC's backyard giving Bulma a big goodbye.
"Bye Mom! Don't forget souvenirs!" Bra hugged her mom.
"I expect you two back in two weeks woman." Vegeta said with his arms folded.
"Don't hesitate to take your time mom." Trunks said, who stood right next to Vegeta. However, he kept stealing glances over at Marron, only when Vegeta wasn't eyeing him.
"Call me whenever you feel like it." Marron said, she seemed more calm and finally felt she could survive without Bulma for a measly two weeks.
"Thanks everybody. I'll write!" Bulma waved goodbye as she entered the space pod, similar to Goku's as he was on his way to Namek for the first time. Marron stood where she was until she could no longer see Bulma's ship, then went inside to work on a new capsule. She's been working on for this exact purpose or to perhaps help her look for someone she still loved.
"Hey Marron?" Trunks said, he was the only one who hasn't left yet, just standing there.
"Uh, yeah?" Marron slowly turned around, she was halfway through the lab door.
"Is....there anything you need?" Trunks paused.
"No, I don't think so. I'm almost done with the capsule I'm working on. Thanks anyway."
"Oh.....okay. Y-you know I'm here if you need anything right?" He stammered.
"Yes, I know. Thanks. Are you okay? You've been acting weird for a while now." Marron had an idea of what it could be, but she can't see it in her reality.
"I.....I'm just concerned that's all. This is your first time without my mom since you've been working for her."
"True, and it has been a hard two years, but I think it's made me stronger. Don't you think?" Marron smiled. She only truly smiled in front of Bulma and Trunks as they have been there for her every time she needed help.
"Oh yes. I mean, you've changed a lot." A light shade of pink was creeping up Trunks' face.
"You haven't, you still skip work and chase girls with Goten." Marron said flatly. Marron wasn't ready to have serious conversations with Trunks again, not for the past 6 months.
"I've told you! Goten said he wanted company, he feels insecure when he's by himself asking a girl out!" Trunks argued.
Marron giggled, to Trunks' delight.
"Now you're just messing with me." Trunks grinned. "I guess you really don't need my mom as much as you thought."
"I can handle two weeks, let's put it that way."
"Right."
"I'll see you later Trunks." Marron walked into the lab and shut the door.
"Wait.....I wanted to ask you to dinner." Trunks said under his breath. He kicked the lawn and flew off back to work.
Meanwhile, in another space and time.......
The clash of a sword hitting the hard cement could be heard over a mile away. "Damn, when did he get so fast?" The man put his sword back into its holder over his shoulder not a second sooner. He'd have to do hand on hand combat to get the guy.
"My My Trunks, you've slow down your training since the last time I saw you." The dark purple man said with curled lips. "Have you finally decided to stop training and settle down?"
"Not with people like you still around." Trunks jumped up and flew straight ahead for the other man but disappeared right before flying into him and attempted to kick him from behind. The man vanished right as Trunks' kick collided into the spot where he used to be. Before he could react, Trunks was kicked in the back and crashed into the ground leaving a huge pit.
The man was hovering in the air as Trunks was dusting himself. He then began to laugh. "Why don't you go super already? It's obvious you won't be able to defeat me like the way you are now."
Trunks narrowed his eyes. His hair was short like his usual mushroom cut and wore a torn up black tank top and pants. "You're not worth that much strength."
The man laughed again with his red cape now blowing in the wind. He was wearing a matching red tank top with a black utility belt around red shorts. He appeared he trained as much as Trunks. "It doesn't matter, I'll soon go to a place where I'll never have to deal with you again."
"What do you mean?'
"WATCH! Clowmation!" The man flashed a bright light and all that was left was a cloud of smoke.
Trunks looked around and saw nothing, no trace. "Where did he go?" Trunks looked over at his house, which was only 20ft. away to see if his mom at the window saw something. And sure enough, she was banging on the window pointing to where there was an image of a bigger and blue time machine with the purple muscular man inside. "NO!" Trunks flew as fast as he could to catch him, but as he reached out to the time machine, it disappeared within the grasp of his hands. "DAMN!"
"Trunks!" An older looking Bulma ran outside with Trunks' jacket.
"Mom, go back inside! It's still dangerous!" Trunks ordered.
"Not before I give you this." Bulma handed him his jacket and a small little box containing his original time machine. "Go after him, I'll be waiting. And do be careful, I really love you."
"Don't worry, I should be back by nightfall." Trunks hugged his mom goodbye and took off in his time machine. In the space/time tunnel, Trunks could see a blue object not far away. "Now where can he possibly run off to?" Trunks tried to speed up, but his time machine was no match for the blue one. All he could do was try to keep up with him and not lose track of where he was going. It appeared he was going right into......
Marron was finishing the touches on a new capsule, one that contained a space pod for one passenger. "Now all I need to do is pack a few things and then I'm off." Marron grinned evilly and walked out of CC to her car to go home. Sure, this project started off with a different purpose, but why not test it out first? As she closed the door behind her, she stopped walking and began digging into her lab jacket for her keys. Once she found them and held them up, a huge blue pistol-like pod landed and crushed her car into oblivion, which left Marron frozen.
The purple man opened the top of his time machine and flew out landing right in front of a stunned Marron. "Excuse me miss? Is Mrs. Briefs here or did she leave already?" He said politely.
Marron opened her mouth but no sound came out. This was the last thing she wanted to deal with. "She's gone already, you missed her." Vegeta coldly said from the side of the building, who now came into view. "What business do you have with her?"
"I have some business with the new inventions she's going to try in Planet Paradise." He said very clear and calm, not wanting to start a fight. "Well, I guess I'll be on my way to Planet Paradise. Nice talking to you Vegeta. I hope to see you again Miss Marron." The man winked and flew back into the driver's seat of his time machine; only it now turned into a little blue pod and took off into space before Vegeta could react.
"Hmmm, I don't like him." Vegeta scoffed, he then stared up into the sky.
Marron still had her mouth open in complete shock. "H-he knew our names without even asking......and my-my car...." Marron rushed to her car and fell to her knees to check the damage that wasn't replaceable. "I-I think I can fix it." She chokingly said. "If nothing else happens to it." Bulma's business partners are usually really nice and careful.
Just as she said that, a very familar yellow time machine landed right on Marron's car, close to landing on Marron herself, and destroying whatever was left of it. Mirai Trunks (I've decided that is what I'll call him in this story since everyone uses that and clears up things later on.) popped out the driver's seat and landing right next to a squatting Marron (who had a horror struck face), looking straight at Vegeta. "Hello father."
"Well, look who's here. I assume you're not here to visit are you?"
"He's here isn't he?"
"If you're referring to that ridiculous purple blunder, yes, but he left to Planet Paradise to waste time." Vegeta kept his cool stance looking at Trunks thoroughly. "You've been training." Vegeta let out a little grin.
"I'd say the same thing to you as well." Trunks smirked.
Marron finally stopped looking at the small burnt pieces of her car to look at a pair of feet next to her. She slowly looked up to find a bigger shock to her mind. "Holy Dende Trunks! What happened to you?!" Marron was open mouthed with her eyes very big. This definitely wasn't the same Trunks she saw a few hours ago. This one had some serious muscles, tanned skin, and his hair was a little bit paler. He showed the indication that he has had to deal with a lot of pain.
Trunks turned puzzled as he looked down at a woman he never saw before, nor did he notice that she was there the whole time. "Who's the girl?"
"Bulma's assistant and to be the heir of your mother's company in the invention department, or what I like to call fixing my gravity machine."
Marron still gazed at Trunks with utter surprise.
"Why is she on the ground?"
"You crushed her car."
A/N: Ta Da! Is that a little better the second time around? I felt it desperately needed to be a little revamped. Thanks for reading! PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!

Ch. 1 - Trouble Brewing

However, had she known what she was getting into, she would have said no, even though it would have meant the end of the world, again and again.

Marron rushed to her car and fell to her knees to check the damage that wasn't replaceable. "I-I think I can fix it." She chokingly said. "If nothing else happens to it." Bulma's business partners are usually really nice and careful.
Just as she said that, a very familar yellow time machine landed right on Marron's car, close to landing on Marron herself, and destroying whatever was left of it. Mirai Trunks (I've decided that is what I'll call him in this story since everyone uses that and clears up things later on.) popped out the driver's seat and landing right next to a squatting Marron (who had a horror struck face), looking straight at Vegeta. "Hello father."
"Well, look who's here. I assume you're not here to visit are you?"
"He's here isn't he?"
"If you're referring to that ridiculous purple blunder, yes, but he left to Planet Paradise to waste time." Vegeta kept his cool stance looking at Trunks thoroughly. "You've been training." Vegeta let out a little grin.
"I'd say the same thing to you as well." Trunks smirked.
Marron finally stopped looking at the small burnt pieces of her car to look at a pair of feet next to her. She slowly looked up to find a bigger shock to her mind. "Holy Dende Trunks! What happened to you?!" Marron was open mouthed with her eyes very big. This definitely wasn't the same Trunks she saw a few hours ago. This one had some serious muscles, tanned skin, and his hair was a little bit paler. He showed the indication that he has had to deal with a lot of pain.
Trunks turned puzzled as he looked down at a woman he never saw before, nor did he notice that she was there the whole time. "Who's the girl?"
"Bulma's assistant and to be the heir of your mother's company in the invention department, or what I like to call fixing my gravity machine."
Marron still gazed at Trunks with utter surprise.
"Why is she on the ground?"
"You crushed her car."
A/N: Ta Da! Is that a little better the second time around? I felt it desperately needed to be a little revamped. Thanks for reading! PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!
