*Thursday*

Bulla looked at her appearance in her bathroom mirror. She had light curls in her hair with a bang and she was wearing skinny jeans with a red blouse along with her black pumps.

After training with her dad and showering afterwards, she tried on multiple outfits' and she then finally went with the attire she was now currently wearing.

She snapped in her red, hoop earrings, grabbed everything she needed and left.

Pan watched as Trunks got ready for work and sighed, "Do you really have to go in today?"

Trunks smiled sadly, "Yes, babe. I'll be back before you know it."

Pan crawled to the foot of the bed, wearing nothing but one of Trunks's shirts and signaled for him to come closer. Once he came closer, she wrapped her arms around his neck, "Please, Trunks. I just really want to be around you right now. And I hardly ever beg. So keep that in mind."

Trunks chuckled as he rolled his eyes playfully, "Fine. I'll call in sick, but you owe me."

Pan winked before saying, "I know."

He shook his head before pulling out his cell phone and calling his mother.

Pan watched as Trunks talked to his mother for a bit and then smiled when she heard him tell her he was calling in sick.

"Happy now?," he asked jokingly.

She grinned, "Yes. Very."

He walked closer to her and began stroking her cheek, "Good. You're happiness is important to me. I love you Pan."

"I love you too, Trunks."

Bulla walked into the local coffee shop and sat down at a table, near the window, not spotting Goten anywhere in sight yet. She then pulled out a book she recently started reading, called Love conquers all, and began reading it to pass time until Goten arrived.

She just started reading it yesterday, the title automatically catching her attention.

Bulla looked down at her watch, perfectly fitted around her wrist, and then continued reading. She couldn't stay here with Goten long, she had plans to go to seventeen's place today at noon.

"Hey, Bulla. What's up?"

Bulla looked up and smiled lightly, her heart instantly pounding at the sight of just seeing him, "Hey, how's it going?"

"Fine, actually," he answered as he sat down across from her, "I ordered us some coffee so it should be here soon."

She nodded, "Great. So are you handling the Marron situation a little better now?"

Goten scratched his head, "Yeah, I would say so."

"Good."

"Yup. You seen Pan lately?"

Bulla frowned when she realized she hasn't been hanging out with Pan lately, they usually hung out like almost every other day. Well they use to anyway, "No, actually I haven't. Is she okay?"

"Oh yeah, she's okay. She's doing great."

"Here's your coffee. Is there anything else I can get for you?," the waiter interrupted.

"No, that's all, " Bulla replied.

The waiter nodded his head and left the two back to their conservation.

"Hey, I'll be back. I'm going to the bathroom real quick."

"Okay."

Bulla nodded and headed for the bathroom, Goten watching her every move.

Once she was out of sight, he sighed as he rubbed his hands across his face. He was starting to think that he was falling for Bulla. He didn't see how he could have missed it before. They have a lot of similarities and they click almost every time they're together. And most importantly just how hard was he falling for her if he was?

He let loose another sigh as he took a sip of his hot coffee, before setting it back down. What was he suppose to do? Should he confess? Wait it out? Or just don't say anything at all? No matter what he chose, whatever he picked was going to have some type of consequence or result. He was certain of that. And then he couldn't forget two other things, or in this case two other people. Marron and seventeen.

He was pretty sure that however Marron would take him liking Bulla or pursuing Bulla, that she wouldn't take it very well. She was still basically harassing him. And then there's seventeen. How would seventeen handle him going after his girlfriend? Would he want to battle it out or what?

Goten mentally shook his head, stopping his thoughts in their tracks. He needed to be certain first. He need to make sure that Bulla was what he wanted and after he figured that out, then he'd determine the next step.

Marron gritted her teeth in annoyance. It looks like she was going to have to intervene. Whether Bulla and Goten were just friends or not, she did not want Bulla around Goten at all. There's no way she's just going to standby and let this continue on. Looks like she'll be paying someone a little visit.

"I hope my information has been valuable."

"Oh it has. We've been waiting to get some type of dirt on the daughter of Mrs. Briefs and the opportunity has finally been presented. Thank you Ms. Chestnut."

Marron sniffled as she grabbed a tissue out the tissue box and wiped her fake tears with it, "No, thank you."

"Anytime. I hope you feel better soon ms. Chestnut."

"Thank you Marie. How long did you say it would take for this information to go worldwide?"

"Give us a couple of hours and it'll be out in no time."

"Okay," she sniffled one last time before shaking Marie's hand and leaving.

*Noon*

Bulla entered the living room of seventeen's small cabin, "Seventeen, I'm here."

She placed her handbag on the counter before heading for his bedroom to see if he was there, he usually opened the door for her. This time he didn't. Maybe he was doing something.

"Seventeen?"

She walked into his bedroom and looked around, still not seeing him anywhere in sight.

"Here."

She spun around only to see seventeen standing a couple of inches away from her, a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Hey. What's up?-"

"That's what I would like to know," he answered coolly before folding his arms across his chest.

Bulla looked at him in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

He rolled his eyes and walked over to his dresser. He then pulled out a magazine and handed it to her, "Since you seem to have a case of amnesia, this is what I'm talking about."

She took the magazine from his hands and looked at the cover. It had a picture of her and Goten hanging out the past few days and it read, The daughter of Bulma Briefs cheating?

Bulla gasped in shock, "How did you get this? And where did you get it from?"

"Is it true?," he demanded, ignoring her questions.

"No! It's not! Someone set me up! This isn't true at all!"

"Prove it. I have evidence."

"What?"

" I felt your ki around Goten's for the past few days, so how isn't it not true?"

"17, I wouldn't cheat on you ever! You don't have the right to doubt me! It's the other way around!"

He unfolded his arms and nodded, ignoring her last statement, "Okay."

"Okay?"

He nodded again, "I believe you, but I'm going to have to have a little chat with my niece the next time I see her."
