~ ~ Flashback ~ ~

"Hey! Stop it! Give that back!" A pretty little blond haired girl of about nine whined. Dangling inches from her sky bound face was a raggedy doll. Every time the little blond nine-year-old made an attempt to get it back, it was rudely jerked out of her reach by the boy who had been teasing her about her pig tails. "I'll tell my mommy on you!" The blond shrieked. The boy just laughed and continued to dangle her doll out of her reach.

She began to cry. The boy enjoyed her tears very much. He began taunting her while still dangling her doll above her head.

"Is there a problem here?" A boy of about fourteen years of age asked looking to the tear streaked face of the little blond haired girl to the grinning face of the boy teasing her.

"He- hic- won't give- hic- my dolly back." The girl sobbed. The blond haired girl looked up at the boy who had decided to come to her rescue and saw that he had the most handsome face she had ever seen. His lavender locks were blowing carelessly in the wind. She didn't get to stare in awe any further, however, as the boy tackled the one who had been teasing her. She was surprised at his strength, but then again, he was much older and bigger than the other boy.

"Here you go." The fourteen-year-old said as he handed her doll back.

Marron's cheeks went a bright shade of crimson as she accepted the doll. "Thank you very much, sir." Marron said breathlessly.

"Don't mention it. You can call me Trunks." Trunks exclaimed as he tossed his head slightly to get his hair out of his eyes. "See ya round." And with that, Trunks walked off in the direction of a giggling girl calling out his name. A sudden jealousy took Marron as she watched Trunks take the hand of the girl who had called out his name.

Marron realized then, that she had fallen madly in love with a boy called Trunks.

"Marron? Marron, are you in there? You're going to go to school looking like a prune if you stay in there too long." 18 called through the bathroom door.

"I'll be out in sec, mom." Marron said toweling herself off. She stepped out of the shower and sighed as she stroked her clean hair. She had always thought her hair was one of her many traits that attracted boys to her, but she knew the real reason.

"That's the real reason." Marron said to herself looking down at her body. Her breasts and her hips and her butt. That's what boys liked, that's the only thing boys wanted out of a girl. Her butt, her hips, and her breasts. Well, most boys anyway. There was one boy that Marron knew was different. Marron knew he liked girls for what they were, not what they looked like.

"If he liked girls for their looks, he would've had me long ago." Marron whispered as she walked over to her dresser pulling out a conservative outfit for the day. Her selection consisted of a back-less top and tight leather skirt. It was conservative for her anyway.

Marron sat at her desk combing through her hair and eventually slipping on her black knee high leather boots.

"Trunks." Marron whispered to herself. Just the name sent exciting shivers down her spine. She had been desperately in love with Trunks since she was nine years old. He had boldly fought to get her dolly back, and in doing so, captured Marron's heart. 18's voice caused Marron to snap back to reality.

"Marron, come on, you're going to be late for school." 18 said shoving Marron out of her bedroom and down the stairs to the kitchen. 18 began shoveling food onto a plate, which she then shoved into Marron's hands. 18 then pushed Marron down onto a chair and ordered her to eat.

"Mom, I think I'll just eat an apple or something." Marron said raising an eyebrow at the plate piled high with the most starchy food 18 could've put on one plate.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, ok. Here, you'll be late for the bus." 18 said handing Marron a twenty dollar bill and an apple and then walking out the door towards her car.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Marron asked her mother as 18 began to get into the car.

"Aren't I driving you to school?" 18 asked distractedly.

"Wow, mom. You really are helpless without dad around, aren't you?" Marron asked with an I-feel-sorry-for-you look. Krillan had been away training with Goku and Yamcha for about a week now and 18 seemed to be lost whenever she was doing anything. "I drive myself to school, remember? I have my own car and I am 17 years old, with a license to drive."

"Right, I knew that. Well, have a good day at school then." 18 said giving her daughter a peck on the cheek. She bustled back inside and began yelling at Roshi because she had tripped over one of his porn magazines.

Marron sighed and got into her car. Although some people found school a nescience, Marron like it. It was one of her only excuses to get off her secluded island. Now that she was a senior in high school, if she didn't get into a college, then she would be stuck on Roshi's island until she was thirty. Her father had told her so.

The one thing about school that she liked the most was her PE teacher. He didn't teach for money, just for something to do with his life. Never the less, Marron was absolutely thrilled when Trunks decided to teach PE at her school. Because PE had only been a requirement for two years in order to graduate, most people only did it for two years. But now that Trunks was the PE teacher, Marron noticed a lot of girls transferred into PE for a third or even a fourth year. This really irritated Marron. How was she supposed to get close to Trunks when he was always surrounded by drooling girls? Marron decided that she was smart enough to find a way around this obstacle and claim Trunks before the end of the school year. She was determined.
