Hey. I am a little peeved at all the Marron bashing so here is a fic where she is a fighter. Done as if GT never happened, she trained with 17 and now is back to prove you don't have to be a sayjin to kick ass!



CHAPTER ONE



Marron flew happily over the vast blue ocean, glad she was finally returning home. For the past ten years she had trained under the eyes of her uncle, 17, and now that he had taught her all he could, she was going home.
Home.
So far the only home she had was the log cabin her uncle lived in. She missed her father and mother very much, but she wanted to be a fighter for a long time. Marrons mom was an android and her father was the worlds strongest human. So as she got older, she too wanted to experiance the thrill of fighting. It was her dream to take her fathers place as the strongest human.
Marron landed on the beach and looked uncertianly at the red door of Kame house. Are the even home? She knew they weren't expecting her. She thought of calling but changed her mind. She wanted it to be a surprise. Shakely, Marron lifted her hand and knocked softly on the door.
The soft click of the knob from the other side made the butterflies in her belly grow into birds. The door opened and she found herself facing the ice blue eyes of her mothers.
"M-marron?!" she whispered mot beleiving her eyes.
"Momma." Marron rushed into 18s arm and felt tears of joy slip down her cheeks. "Oh, Momma."

After a tearfull reunion with the mother and Krillen, all three of them sat down around the table in the living room.
"How were things with 17? Did you train hard?" Krillen asked franticly. "Was he hard on you? Did you get enough to eat? Your looking a little thin."
"She's fine." 18 said smiling. She turned to Marron. "Do you want to unpack?"
Marron nodded and lifted up her green knapsack. Krillen lead the way up the stairs to where her room was.
"We kept it the way it was when you left." he said opening the door. "But I guess now that you are a grown woman you might want to make some changes."
Marron peered into the room and dropped her bag. Pink wallpaper and pink carpeting covered the room. On the small, child sized bed sat a lacy bedspread and a dozen or so stuffed animals. A poster of a big eyed kitten was on the opposite wall.
"We'll give you time to settle back in." Krillen said backing out of the room and closing the door.
Marron walked in and looked around as if she had entered a time loop. Everything was the same like the day she left.

"But Marron," Krillen said calmly. "If you really want to train, then I can teach you."
"No Daddy," Marron she shakeing her head back and forth so her pigtails flapped around. "your too sweet. You won't train me as hard as I need to be."
"She's telling the truth." 18 said wrapping her arm around her husbands shoulders. "17 can train her well. And he can take care of her too. Trust me, Krillen, he will gaurd her with his life."
Krillen sighed and looked away. He knew they were right but he couldn't help but worry. "Alright."

Marron sat on her bed and bounced a little. Not the hard cot she slept on as 17s. She gasped and picked up a small rabbit stuffed animal she had named Usagi. Goten and Trunks had given it to her for her sixth birthday. Trunks had said that the rabbits floppy ears had reminded him of her 'dumb old piggytails'. She hated that but loved the gift.
They were one of the reasons she had picked up fighting. They always teased her as a kid and called her weakling. 'Moron' had become one her many annoying nicknames.

Later that night Krillen, 18, Marron, Oolong and Master Roshi all sat around the table eating dinner.
"Marron you've missed out on alot while you were off training." Roshi said. "Gohan and Videl had a child named Pan and Bulma and Vegeta had another daughter called Bra."
"Bra?" Marron asked wondering if she heard right. Oolong nodded. And she thought Marron was a weird name.
"I can't wait for you to meet everyone again." Krillen said excitedly. "They are going to freak when they see how strong you are now."
"I know!" 18 said suddenly. "You can enter the World Martial Arts Tournament."
"The Tournament?" Marron asked. "When is it?"
"In a few months." Krillen said stuffing a roll in his mouth. "Goten and Trunks are entering. Along with Pan and Bra. If you enter then we can let them know you are back. They think you've been off at school all these years." Krillen chuckled.
"So they don't know that I have been training?" Marron said. Interesting.
"I'll call and tell them the good news." Roshi said grabing the phone.
"No!" Marron said suprising them all. "Uhh, I mean, I want to suprise them."
"Oh I see." Krillen smiled. "Fight then tell them."
Marron nodded and smiled to herself. Wait till those little brats see me now. She would embarass them publicly. Just like they used to tease her.

"Trunks!" Five year old Marron shouted as she jumped up. "Give me my hair ribbon."
"What are you talking about?" Trunks asked flying just out of her reach. "Your ribbon is in your hair, MORON!"
"I mean the other one!" she said jumping with all her might. Trunks just flew to the side and tossed the bow to Goten.
"I don't have it." Trunks said innocently.
Goten stuck his tounge out at her. Marron ran up to get it back but he tossed the red bow to Trunks again. The pair played keep away from her as she ran back and forth trying to get it. She finaly fell on to the sand and felt tears in her eyes as the sand scrapped her knee.
"What's going on out here?" a voice demanded.
Goten and Trunks froze and stared at and angery 18 with her hands on her hips. Trunks dropped the ribbon on the sand and the pair of friends flew off.
18 walked up and lifted Marron in her arms. She bent over and dusted off her ribbon and tied it backin her hair. "Are you okey?"
"Yeah," Marron sniffed wipping her eyes. "I wish I could scare them like you do Momma."
"They're only afraid because they know I could kill them." 18 said simply.

Marron smiled to herself again. This tournament would be the best one yet.
