Chapter 1 The phone rang shrilly, Marron jumped. She heard her mother answer it. "Hang on a minute and I'll get her for you." she said. "Marron.... Phone...." "Coming" said Marron. "Hello" "Hi there" said Pan. "When did you get home?" asked Pan. "Last night. What about you?" said Marron. "Yesterday morning. The gang is going to get together tonight for a beach party to celebrate the holidays, you will come wont you?" asked Pan. "I'd love to" replied Marron. "Okay we will pick you up around 7." "Do I need to bring anything?" asked Marron. "No just yourself and some c.d.'s if you want. Goten & Trunks are taking care of the refreshments." said Pan. "Speaking of the terrible twins, how are they both?" asked Marron. "Oh still the same, they won't ever grow up I dont think." said Pan. Marron laughed. "Okay, see you at 7. Bye." "Bye" said Pan & hung up. "Was that Pan?" asked her mother. "Yes. We are going to have a beach party to celebrate the holidays." replied Marron. "Sounds like fun." said 18. "With Goten & Trunks it couldn't be anything else." she said. 18 laughed, "Those two won't ever change." she said. Marron went outside & sat on the swing under the tree. For as long as she could remember they had always been a close knit group, Goten, Trunks, Pan, Bra & herself. They had gone everywhere and done everything together. The boys were best mates, both clowns and totally inseparable, always laughing & joking. Bra, Pan & herself had all suffered on many an occasion from their good natured ribbing & jokes. Since that the girls were all attending different colleges they didn't get to see each other all that often so when it was holidays they all got together & made up for lost time. It had been almost a year since they had last all been together & she wondered how much they had each changed. She chuckled to herself remembering how last holidays Bra had come home with her hair dyed bright orange! Vegeta had gone ballistic at her. Trunks & Goten had thought it hilarious But Vegeta, who doted on his daughter, couldn't see anything humorous in it at all and had grounded Bra until she changed it back to her natural colour. She wondered just what lay ahead this time. A little after 7 she heard a commotion out the front signalling that the gang had arrived. She quickly checked that she had everything & ran downstairs. Krillin was standing at the front door talking to Goten. "Ahh, here she is." he said. "About time." Teased Goten. "And a warm hello, long time no see to you too Goten." she replied. "See you later Dad." she said and gave Krillin a kiss on the cheek. "Bye guys, have fun." said Krillin. "Come on, we're wasting time." yelled Trunks from inside the Capsule Corp plane. Marron & Goten ran down the path & climbed in the plane. Trunks took off. Goten dropped into the seat next to him. Marron sat beside Pan & Bra. "So girls, what's new? I see you didn't colour your hair this time Bra." said Marron. "No I thought I'd better not. I don' t think Dad could handle the stress." laughed Bra. "So how did your exams go?" asked Pan. "Well I managed to pass them all." replied Marron. "What about you 2?" "Passed all mine." said Pan. "I only just scraped through." sighed Bra. "Yeah the folks weren't too impressed either." laughed Trunks. "I'm glad I dont have to worry about exams." said Goten. "You haven't got a brain to start with." teased Pan. "Why don't you go back to your tree?" retorted Goten. "I would but some big ape is in my place." she replied. Marron laughed. It was good to be home with her friends again. She stuck her head in-between Goten & Trunks. "How much longer till we get there?" she asked. "Impatient aren't we?" said Trunks. "Nah... It's just that I hate being cooped up with animals." she replied. "You'll keep." said Goten. Trunks landed the plane on a stretch of remote beach. They all piled out. The girls stripped down to their swimming costumes. The setting sun cast shadows of orange, red & yellow across the water. "Isn't it just gorgeous?" sighed Marron. Trunks & Goten came up beside her. "Yea, just wonderful." Trunks & Goten had an evil glint in their eyes. "Oh no, What are you two up to?" asked Marron as she backed away. Goten & Trunks jumped her at the same time. Trunks caught her arms, Goten grabbed her legs, fight & struggle as she may there was no escaping them. They carried her screaming & yelling to the water & threw her in. She came up spluttering. "Hey, No fair!! thats two against one." Trunks & Goten were holding their sides laughing. They didn't see Bra & Pan sneaking up behind them. Pan & Bra each had a handful of ice & in one swift movement they dumped the ice down the back of the guys pants. Goten & Trunks both yelled in suprise then shock as the icy coldness travelled to places it shouldn't. Marron was laughing so much she thought she was going to drown. Bra & Pan had retreated to the safety of the sand dunes while on the beach Trunks & Goten were removing their clothes at incredible speed. When they reached their board shorts they managed to remove the remainder of the ice. Marron came out of the water and walked up the beach. As she passed the guys she whispered, "Ohh make sure it doesn't shrink too much or you will never find it.." "Why you!" said Trunks & chased her up the beach, he caught her. "Hmmm... now what shall I do with you?" he said & looked at her. She stared back at him and felt her insides turn to jelly. She had begun to notice just how much he had changed during the last 12 months. He picked her up and carried her back to Goten. "I have a prisoner." he said. "Hmm... shall we torture the prisoner to make her talk?" said Goten, playing along. Trunks dropped her on to the sand and sat on her pinning her arms above her head. "Agghhhh..... the tickle torture!!" shouted Goten & dropping to his knees began to tickle her ribs mercilessly while Trunks held her down. She squealed & squirmed "Oh stop!! , No!,. Don't!, Help me, help me." she laughed. Suddenly Pan & Bra appeared and wrestled the two boys off her, they all ended up in a tangle of arms & legs. Later they sat around the fire they had built and caught up on each others news. Trunks brought out the drinks . "So what are you girls going to do now you have finished college?" said Goten. "Looks like I will have to get a job." said Pan. "I'm having a break before looking for work." said Marron. "Well I suppose I will be stuck in the family business." sighed Bra. Marron sipped her drink and stared dreamily into the fire. "We could always get lucky you know." she said. "Oh. And hows that?" asked Pan. "We could get swept off our feet by someone tall dark & handsome." she replied. "Yeah sure... around here? Dream on!" said Bra. "Boy you girls sure have vivid imaginations." laughed Goten. Marron continued to stare into the fire. She could see Trunks just off to the side and studied his profile through the flames. He had changed during these past few months. Gone was the boyish body and in its place was that of a young muscular youth. His face had matured too, it had become leaner, more masculine and his eyes.... They were so clear ...so blue. She began to get a funny feeling in the pit of her stomach as she watched him. He turned as if aware of her gaze and stared straight at her. She blushed and quickly averted her eyes.
