AN: I'll try to make this chappie longer cause I'm home from school sick and I have all day to write it :)
"What are you doing here!?" Trunks asked in a harsh voice.
I just ignored him. "Goten, I'm really sorry for what I did to you. I was in a bad mood that day." I tried to make this sound as sincere as possible because I truely was sorry. "Still, me being in a bad mood was no reason for me to treat you like that."
"Thats right. You should be sorry." Trunks interrupted.
"I'm not the only one." I glared at him. "You chewed me out for being mean to Goten in front of everyone, but you turned me down in front of everyone too. I'm not the only one who owes someone an apology."
"Whatever. Sorry, then."
"Goten, please forgive me. Is there any way I can make it up to you?"
"I was going to forgive you anyway, but since you offered, will you go to the next dance with me?"
"Yeah. I promise."
"C'mon you two lovebirds!" Trunks had already gotten off the pile of debris and was headed for a trashcan.
We followed him and found that he had a newspaper in his hand. It read: ANDROIDS ATTACK AND DESTROY WHAT IS LEFT OF SOUTH CITY
"Androids?? I thought..."
"Yeah. I thought so too. But look at the date.
"September 6,1990" ((I really don't know what the year is in DBZ. I thought it was supposed to be somthin Ad, or Bc. But I really don't know.))
"Wow...that was a long time ago.." Goten said.
"Maybe we went back in time." I suggested.
Suddenly I heard screams in the distance. "C'mon!" Trunks took off into the air. I guess he expectected us to follow him, because Goten took off at the same fast speed. I didn't want to tell them that I can't really fly that fast, and that I don't really fight. But that would just slow them down. I decided not to say anythings and just fly and try to keep up.
I know I wasn't a fighter. But my mom could fight and my dad could too. If were back when the andriods were still destroying everything, then we don't exist yet! Trunks being Trunks, and Goten being Goten, they would probably give away everything!
"Guys!! Wait!!
My mother was one of the androids, so that made me half of one. I should be able to fight. At least a little. But I wasn't about to go and fight my mother. Or my uncle even though I had never met him. But if they were killing, I couldn't just stand around and watch! I didn't know what to do.
Then I felt my feet being lifted off the ground. "What the.."
"Can you not fly or something?" Goten asked.
"Or something." I replied.
"I know that the andriods are still bad right now and 18 hasn't married your father yet. But we have to fight them. They are killing people."
"Well, if we destroy them, I wont exist!!!"
"Oh yeah.."
After a while, we can upon a speechless Trunks.
"Hey!" Goten yelled waving a hand in front of Trunks' face.
Then I saw what Trunks was staring at. Goten saw it too. It looked like Trunks and Gohan. Only they looked like younger versions.
"I don't think we just went back in time..." I whispered.
"Really." Trunks said sarcastically.
Trunks was really starting to get on my last nerve. I know that he was mad at me about the way I had treated Goten. But C'mon. I apologized and Goten forgave me. I just think that Trunks doesn't like to say that he's sorry. Especially when he makes someone else apologize for something they did and then he has to apologize for the same thing.
"We have to get out of here." Trunks said. "We could alter the future or do something serious.
"I wonder if Capsule Corp is still here?" I said.
"Lets go see." Trunks suggested.
Goten was about to pick me up and carry me, but I took off before he could even touch me.
We soon came upon Capsule Corp. It looked like no one had been in it for years. But so did the rest of West City. Trunks opened the door.
"Aren't you going to knock?" I asked.
Trunks glared at me. "Its my house!"
"Fine!"
We didn't find anyone inside the house. Goten and I got seperated from Trunks. It didn't matter to me anymore. I was starting to get less fond of Trunks by the minute. Capsule Corp looked as if it could colapse any minute.
We walked into the kitchen. I opened the door and the door frame colapsed. It was about to hit me but Goten saved me by pushing me out of the way. Instead it landed on him.
"Ohmigosh!! Goten! Are you alright?? I unburied Goten from all the metal and wood that had fallen on him. He had a scratch under his eye. "Are you OK?"
"Yeah. Just a scratch."
"Thanks. You saved me."
"No problem!" Goten gave me the famous son grin.
We opened the refrigerator door. Nothing.
We decided to leave the kitchen and go somewhere else. We went up several flights of stairs, until we came upon one flight that looked more old and more dangerous than the others. I think Goten could read my mind because he said he'd go first.
The stairs seemed like they would colapse. Everytime I stepped on a stair, they would make a really creaky noise. The next one Goten stepped on fell through. I knew that since we were on the fifth or sixth floor, it wouldn't be good if Goten fell. Without thinking, I grabbed his wrist and pulled him back up. And it tood every bit of my strength too.
"Thanks." Goten said.
I just blushed. I couldn't be developing feeling for Goten, could I? We carefully walked up the last couple of stairs and decided that that was enough stairs for one day.
We decided that it was time to go and find Trunks. I went first. I saw some water on the floor. I stepped over it, careful not to fall. Goten didn't see it though. He slid right under me and I landed on top of him.
The worst time for anyone, namely Trunks, to show up would be now. Anyone who saw us like this would think that we were about to kiss or something. I think the award for the person with the worst timing would go to Trunks. For appearing right now!
Trunks was smirking. "Get up you two lovebirds."
Goten and I blushed.
"Lets go see if there is anyone or anything left of this town." Trunks said.
We didn't find any people, but we did find half of a minimall. I had to look. All of these black clothes I was wearing were getting hot anyway. I knew that Trunks would let me go in there, so I snuck off. If anyone was to realize that I was gone, it would be Goten. Trunks would notice and Goten wouldn't say anything. He'd just try to go find me. Probably.
"Marron??" 18 called.
"Where could she be?" Krillin asked.
"I'll call her cell phone."
18 sighed. "No answer."
"If anything she should be asleep. It's 3:00."
"Maybe she's with Trunks and Goten after all." 18 said.
"Ill call" Krillin offered.
He picked up the phone and called. No answer.
"Maybe we should go over there." 18 suggested.
"Yeah"
Krillin and 18 quickly flew over to Capsule Corp. It looked pretty normal from the outside. But the inside was a wreck. Things had been sucked into the time portal and everything in Bulma's lab, except for the two machines that had supported the portal, were gone. The portal had closed itself.
"What happened?" Krillin asked.
"I don't know! These two machines, the only ones that are left here, if the wrong buttons are pressed, it can create a portal. It was a downside of the machines.
I looked at the minimall. What was left of it was amazing. I just had to get out of these ugly, itchy black clothes. I saw exactly what store I wanted to go to. Old Navy. (AN: My fav. store!) I saw the cutest top. It was my color too. A hot pink spaghetti strap tank top. I picked out a cute pair of jeans with holes in the knees with some hot pink tennis shoes to match. I quickly went into the remains of a changing room and I changed into my new clothes. I took two hair bands off my wrist and put my hair into my trademark pigtails. I enjoyed the rest of my time looking around the minimall.
"Marron!?!?!" I heard a voice call.
Oh crap! I had forgoten about Trunks and Goten. I knew they wouldn't not notice that I was gone for this long.
"There you are! Where have you been???" Trunks asked.
"I went shopping!"
"Oh fun fun." Trunks replied sarcastically.
"Well, for your information, Trunks Briefs, those black clothes were hot and itchy."
"Whatever. Why were you wearing all those black clothes anyway? You hate black."
I shrugged.
"Also. That portal thing that was somehow opened in my house has to be manually activated. And there are guards all over my house at night. Most people couldn't get by them. Except for maybe people who could fly! Second, my mom told me about that thing. It will suck up anything near it. Pretty much anything in a 100 foot radius of the portal. You weren't at my house. Or at least, you weren't supposed to be! Hmph! What were you doing in my house??"
"Lay off. There is no proof that she was in your house! Leave her alone." Goten was sticking up for me. I admired him. Even though I knew that Trunks was right. I can't really start to like Goten, can I?
"Anyway, we need to go and fight the androids." Trunks took off into the air.
"Just ignore him. I know you wouldn't do anything like break into his house. Every machine has a glitch or something like that. Even I know that." Goten picked me up and carried me. We both knew that I could fly, but I didn't put up a struggle.
All three of us found a pretty good hiding place to watch 'Trunks' and 'Gohan' fight. From what I was seeing, they weren't winning, but they weren't losing either.
"What if they don't win against the androids?" Goten asked.
Trunks glared at him. "Of course they are going to win. Its me and your brother!"
"Maybe you guys should train or something..just in case." I suggested.
Trunks gave me an evil glare. But Goten thought it was a wonderful idea.
We all flew to an open field that hadn't yet been attacked by the androids. I watched Goten and Trunks spar. Trunks. I'm starting to wonder what I ever saw in him. I mean, I've known him forever. But he's never acted this way before. I know I treated Goten poorly, but he did treat me just as bad. Besides, I apologized to him and he forgave me. He treats me better than he does any other girl friend of his that I know. But it just wouldn't be me to fall in love with Goten. I'm not saying that he's not good enough for me or anything. I just don't know if my feeling are true. I mean, I've practically had a crush on Trunks ever since whole Buu ordeal. And now I see how much of a jerk he can be and I don't know how I could have ever liked him.
I watched Trunks sit down and rest. Goten came over to me and asked me if I wanted to spar. I told him that I didn't really know how to fight. He offered to teach me. I know I don't fight. I'm a cheerleader! But for some strange reason, I accepted.
He taught me the basics. How to punch, kick, block, and all sorts of stuff. A couple of time, Trunks would make comments like, "Don't waste your time with her." or "Why are you training a girl? Especially a weak, stupid one." After that comment, Goten was about to tell him to knock it off and shut up for once, but I took up for myself.
"At least I am training instead of acting like a sexist jerk. I really don't see what your problem is. Why do you have to be so cruel? I've noticed that you can be so mean to me but then when you talk to Goten you act like nothing is wrong."
"YOUR THE ONE WHO YELLED AT GOTEN IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!" Trunks retorted.
And I have no clue why he brought this subject back up. He can't win the arguement. I can't win the arguement. We can only tie. Its no use.
"AND YOU DIDN'T DO THE SAME THING TO ME??"
He obviously didn't have a decent comeback because he just turned his head. Ha! I guess someone could win this arguement! Me!
