Close Encounters

Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews same rule applies. Five reviews for an update. Sorry it's been a while since update, college is hard so back to the update!

"I'm sorry". Goten said sitting on the opposite side of Trunks' desk. He just stared at his longtime friend and pushed his hair back out his face. It had been three weeks since either had spoken to each other. But, they both knew why. "You kissed my girlfriend and you're currently fucking my sister, all you want to say is sorry"?

Goten looked at him and frowned. "It's not like I just woke up one day and said hey how about I go find Bulla my best friends little sister and start a relationship with her. Then go make out with my best friend that just happens to also be his girlfriend. It was an accident but I'm not sorry about being with Bulla."

Trunks just stared at him in amazement. He had been forgiving him about Marron because she said she kissed him but his own sister. Not in a million years and it wasn't like Goten even tried to tell him, himself. Goten and Bulla were photographed and made the cover of an international magazine.

Something else Trunks failed to understand was his parents acceptance of the situation. It was not okay in his mind and it shouldn't be in Goten's either. "Why couldn't you be a friend and not do it. Do you really lack that much control? What if I did that to with…PAN?" Goten rolled his eyes at him and then felt a pang of anger overcome him.

"Pan is a fifteen year old little girl and you're in your mid-fucking-twenties. That is not okay, I would kick your ass. Bulla is way pass old enough to make her own descions and be accountable. What is the fucking problem"? Trunks matched his anger level and stood up and pounded his fist on the desk making a crack appear.

"She is my little sister and you're supposed to be my best friend. I want you to just stop it, stop seeing her and stop lying to me. What kind of friend does that? I've known you my whole life and it's not okay. I want to punch you in the face right now but I'm trying my best not to." Goten rolled his eyes and just frowned at the lavender haired man. "So what am I supposed to do"? Goten asked flopping back into his chair.

Trunks looked at him and frowned. "Just leave her alone man, please."

Goten looked back to him ran his hands through his hair in frustration. "Does it really mean that much to you"? He nodded and Goten just got up and nodded. "Okay".

Later that evening- Bulla's Condo

"Hey I missed you". Bulla said kissing Goten softly on the lips. He kissed her back and held her back by her shoulder. "We need to talk, Bulla". He watched her smile disappear from her beautiful face and he instantly felt awful for what he was about to do. Goten knew that she was putting her all in the relationship and he was about to do this to her. Bulla had given up going to parties and even the occasional drug use to make things work between them but Goten couldn't just get the guilt that he was feeling to stop.

She looked at him and just covered her mouth and shook her head. Backing away from him she just turned away. "Just go don't say it, please just leave".

Goten looked at her and stopped her in her tracks. "I promise it's not what you think, Bulla…please just listen to me". Bulla turned and looked at him with puffy eyes in sight. "Why, are you back with Valese?"

"No, I wouldn't do that to you". Bulla wiped the tear that threatened to fall from her unique features. "But you'll do this to me. I get it just leave". He grabbed her arms to keep her from leaving he couldn't just leave things like this not with her. "Bulla, we just can't do this right now. I care about you more than I've ever cared about a girl in my life. I swear to you. I'm not back with Valese. I love you. It's just if I tell you it's going to sound really bad and I don't want to upset you".

"Just say it, don't lie to me though Goten". Bulla said allowing him to keep her there. "Trunks really hates the idea of his little sister and best friend being together and I have to respect that. I'm sorry, I think we should just be friends for now". Bulla looked at him as if he just grew another head. She pushed him away forcibly and looked at him.

"Are you serious you're breaking up with me because of my brother? I would rather you be with Valese. Trunks is not a part of this relationship! Friends, are you serious with me Goten? I can't just be you friend anymore after all we've done. You would do this to me because of him?" Goten just stared at her as she stared to cry. That only made him feel ten times worse than before. Bulla was almost as tough as her father and for him to see her shed a tear on his behalf it was killing him.

"You don't love me". Bulla said just trying her best not to show how badly he was hurting her. Goten just looked up to the ceiling as tear can to his face. He walked over to her and held her close to him as she just wrapped her arms around his waist. "You know I love you." Goten said kissing her forehead and rubbing her hair. Goten wiped the tear from his face as his began to become wet her tears.

"Just one more time". Bulla said looking to him and pulling him toward her bedroom. He said nothing just allowed her to lead him wherever she wanted to take him.

Capsule Corp

Marron walked into the living quarters of Capsule Corp and just looked around. It was massive, it made Trunks old house look like a shack and her house look like a box on the side of the road. It was all nicely put together. Trunks told her to meet him there so they can get to the restaurant on time. Marron really didn't want to but she couldn't tell him no. He had been so great to her lately.

He had been so patience with her with this getting back to herself.

Trunks Briefs was nowhere to be seen. Marron didn't want to look as if she was noisy.

"May I help you"? Marron turned to see an older version of Bulla staring at her in sweat pants on and a shawl. "Oh I'm sorry if I woke you. I was looking for Trunks". Bulma smiled and sat down at the dining room table. "You're Marron, right? I've heard a lot about you."

Marron smiled and nodded to the heir to the C.C throne. "Come, sit and talk with me I don't bite". Marron looked at her and gave her a weak smile. "I think I'll just wait in the car. I don't want bother you". Bulma smirked at her and just laughed. Standing up she grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit on the couch next to her.

"I insisted, I won't pry too much". Marron sat down as she forcefully insisted and just nodded. "Oh okay". Bulma sipped her tea and sat in on the marbled table. It looked like it weight at least a ton. "So I hear you have your own dance studio in the downtown area". Marron shyly nodded and just crossed her legs one above another and took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry it's just you intimidate me a little". Bulma let out a girly giggle and shook her head. "Me? I'm harmless unless you piss me off or work for me." Marron nodded and let out a small sigh of relief. "I'm sorry it's just I figure you wouldn't like me because of the whole Danielle situation". Bulma almost spit out her tea on the hardwood floors of the luxurious mansion.

"I hate that bitch, I told him not to marry her. Did he tell you that he eloped with her because I told him I wasn't going to a wedding I didn't support? She turned him into a person I didn't like either." Marron just lowered her head.

"He doesn't talk to me about her. I don't talk to her either but I'm glad she's gone too". Bulma looked at the family portrait that hung on her wall it was of just Trunks. He took a picture with his arms crossed giving that famous smirk of his fathers. "I think you're good for him. I haven't seen him this happy in a long time".

A blush crept across her face as she listened to the compliments. She saw Trunks walk in as relief came over her. He smiled and walked over to where she sitting. Marron stood to meet him and he placed a kiss on her lips.

"Why have you been hiding such a gorgeous girl from me scared I might run her off, eh son"? Trunks rolled his eyes and placed an arm around Marron's petite waist. "That and you can be pushy." Bulma frowned and got up and slapped his back.

"Whatever don't listen to him Marron he's delusional". Marron smiled at the playful banter between mother and son. It was times like this that she missed her own mother. "You made me CEO of your company so I think that makes you the crazy one mother".

Bulma stuck her tongue out at him and looked at the time. "Have you talked to Bulla today? Her and Goten were supposed to be over for dinner they didn't reply to my text earlier". Trunks just shook his head in disagreement.

"No, but I wouldn't expect them to come". Bulma raised her eyebrow as she pulled a beer out the fridge and opened it over the sink. "What do you say that"? Marron gave him an equal puzzling look. He shrugged his shoulders. "Not that it's important but I told Goten that I didn't like him with her. That it's weird as hell and I don't want my best friend with my sister".

Bulma didn't say anything just stood there with her mouth agape.

"Why would you do that"? Marron asked before Bulma could form the words for herself. Trunks looked at his confused girlfriend frowned at her. She pushed his arm of her waist and stared at him. "Its' my sister Marron. I think I should have some say in whose she's with". Trunks could have only wished that his mother didn't find the words for him.

"No you don't at all. Bulla is nineteen years old and has her own voice. If your dad and I don't have a problem then there isn't one. I can't believe you, after all the shit you got from us including Bulla. We never tried to forbid you from being with her hoeish self. I feel sorry for you when she figures out your behind this." Bulma said walking up the stairs shaking her head, mumbling something under her breath about him being stupid.

Marron still just shook her head at him.

"Can we go to dinner now"? Marron just grabbed her jacket and walked out the door in front of him.

Sangria Restaurant

Marron drunk her water and just stared out the window at the sunset.

"Are you going to say anything"? Trunks asked drinking his dry martini. Marron rolled her eyes into his direction. "Thanks for dinner I guess". Trunks ran his hands through his hair and frowned. "Can you just try to salvage the night"?

Marron just shook her head and grabbed her purse. "Can you just take me home? I just can't believe you. They really care about each other." Trunks didn't get up. "No, I'm enjoying my night. Call a cab or just call Goten to come get you". Marron rolled her eyes got up.

"I'll walk asshole, just call me when you get over yourself and ready to apologize".

Trunks frowned and finished his drink then ordered another.
