CHAPTER 22: VEGETA'S SURPRISE

Marley waited outside the GT for Vegeta to come out. He had obviously been training already that morning, for when he came out he was sweating profusely.

"Afternoon, Prince Vegeta." Marley greeted him and bowed her head a bit.

"Harrumph," is all she got in return.

"Look, if you're going to be a stupid, spoiled kid about this, I'll just train with Goku full time. At least he can string more than two words together with out his pride being wounded."

"Are you going to yell at me or spar with me, woman?" Vegeta growled dangerously.

"My name is Marley!" she yelled as she attacked him in a wild fury. Her eyes were burning like little twin fires as she threw kick after punch in the Prince's direction.

She dodged a jab at her head and moved in to make a cut at his open side. He was thrown off balance by this and Marley saw her chance to finish the fight. She charged, and tried what had failed against Goku. Faking a punch to his face she disappeared and quickly reappeared behind him. He turned around to be met with her foot as she landed a round house to his face. He flew off in the other direction and this time he regained his balance before she could strike again.

How did she get so bloody fast?!? He thought, despritely trying to fend off her furious attacks. At this point I have no choice but to overpower her. If I could just get her to stop moving I could get in close enough to do some damage.

As she attacked in her newfound rage, she accidentally left an open spot in her defense. Vegeta smiled as he recognized this. In Marley's desperate attempt is rectify her mistake she was caught of guard and Vegeta grabbed her wrist. By sheer strength he swung her around and straight into his left fist. It caught her right in the gut and she doubled over in pain.

He had slowed her down, for the moment anyway. He took this second of weakness to kick her over onto her back. In his attempt to gain the upper hand he pinned her to the ground. What happened next neither could expect.

"NOOO!!!" a voice shouted. A flash of gold came from behind them and to Vegeta's surprise, he was grabbed by the shoulders and lifted into the air. Vegeta felt him self being slammed into the ground and his arm broke.

It was Gohan.

"Gohan, what the hell do you think you're doing? You just broke my sparring partner!" Marley yelled at him.

Gohan felt his face begin to burn when he heard this. He returned back from Super Saiyan as Trunks and Goten ran over.

"Dad! Are you okay!" Trunks said in disbelief.

"Your friend here," Vegeta bellowed from behind them, "just burst in on our sparring session and broke my arm!"

Trunks and Goten looked at the three people began to laugh.

"Bloody hell boy," Vegeta yelled again, "mind telling me what is so damnably funny?"

"Nothing Father, I'll get Mother to come look at your arm. An hour in the rejuvenation tank and you'll be back to normal. Give me a second." He left, laughing to him self.

"I'm so sorry Prince Vegeta! I had no idea this was going to happen," Marley pleaded with him.

"I'm never sparring with you again, I'll tell you that!" He said with all the venom he could muster.

She sneered at him, her tail flicking, "Fine! I'm not sure I'd want to spar with an arrogant, self-absorbed bastard anyway. Come on Gohan! You still have to take me out on a date!" she yelled back as she grabbed Gohan's fore arm and practically dragged him to the building.

When she got to the living room she finally calmed down a bit.

"Marley I'm so sorry, I had no idea. You looked like you were really fighting."

She managed a weak smile. "It's okay Gohan. What do you say you give me a minute to take a shower and get dressed. I'm hungry and you still owe me a meal."

She winked at him and dashed out of the room before he could answer her. A moment later Krillun came in with Trunks and Goten. Gohan looked at his friend and said, "I'm sorry Trunks. Is Vegeta going to be alright?"

"Oh, he'll be fine. I think you surprised him though. To tell you the truth, his arm was the least of his worries. Marley had beat him up pretty bad before you got there."

"Wow," Gohan said amazed, "you're dad is really strong, I'm surprised."

"Yeah me too. Something tells me that a few more minutes and my dad would have been done. She is cool."

"Yeah, I know."

"She has a nasty temper though," Krillun said

"Don't care," Gohan was staring off into the distance.

They heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Marley's head poked out and said, "Am I interrupting anything?"

"No," Krillun replied, "we were just talking about…"

He trailed off as she walked into the room. Marley had put on a dark blue, leather mini-skirt with little slits in the sides. She was wearing a button up, leather shirt and the bottom half of her midriff was bare, exposing her belly button. She wore thigh-high dark blue, leather boots with her now trademark daggers sticking out the sides. Krillun made a mental note that he wished more Saiyan women had survived. She cleared her throat and broke the awkward silence, "Um, is every one going to stare around like idiots or are we going to get something to eat, I'm still hungry."

"Yeah," Gohan blurted out, his face now bright red. "Where do you want to go?"

"I don't know if you remember or not, but I'm not from New Earth and haven't had a chance to sample it's cuisine. I was hoping you would choose a place."

Gohan just continued starring. Krillun edged his way over to his friend and elbowed him in the ribs, hard. Gohan coughed and blushed again. "Well, we could go and get some pizza, there is a place nearby that serves it."

"Okay. See you later, don't wait up." She laughed almost evilly. She smiled over her shoulder and winked at the group as she dragged Gohan out the door.

"Man," Krillun said to him self as they left, "what a woman."
