Hehe, hi guys! Some of you thought Errol was the prostitute, some of you didn't. Read to find out! Anyway, I'm nearing the end of the story and I just finished writing the crucial cry-my-eyes-out chapter that every story just has to have. Here are my responses to your precious reviews.

Punky Gal- *cockney accent* Nah wouldn't take that, love. Peace out!

Bloodlust Night- LOL! Your review was so wonderful it brightened my day. Violence turns me on, dude! Yeah you keep going at that bitch-chick attitude, I'm lovin' the attitude here, sista! *wink*

Legolas Luver- Boy, that's confusing. Why would someone hate ya anyway? Jeez people these days. Does anyone hate me? *whimpers*

Choclate Blood- *shifty glances* Uhh yeah it was one o' those crappy papers that'd put anything into the headlines, lol. Oh I know what salt crackers are, I found out the day after. I've only been eating them for five years. Who ya callin' sick? *waves fist* Why you little...

Aqua Illusions- You [missed] the last chapter? *twitches eye* You missed it? You missed it. Ya missed it. You TOTAL airhead. *mumbles to self*

Bra Chan90- Hehehe, hey there Lil' Miss Detective! Lol, wouldn't it be embarrassing if you were the only one misunderstanding? (But don't worry, you're not) I liked Daphne but I always thought Fred was a bit on the other side of town.

Hannio- Hahahaha! That's a good one. Next Tuesday! Yeah, I'm tough. Lorna is annoying, don't you agree? Promise you won't ever be like Lorna.

Lady of the Dark- Yeah you are soooo weird, just like me, dude. Chill, LXG is 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'. Shane West is too gorgeous. I bet you were glad to see Lorna again. Mwahahaha! *splutters* Um... here's Trunks.

Forever Broken- Yeah! That is so right. You just totally 'click' with one person sometimes, don't you? Aww you're like me (Yes, it's a good thing). And to your chapter 13 review- I know how it feel when your brain stops working.

Vincent Van Chow- Oh how you flatter me! *chuckles* Thanks, hon!

Anime Hellcat- Oh she reacts all right, lol. Here's your chapter, keep reviewing!

Missing You

------------

: : FRIDAY 23rd AUGUST : :

[Trunks]

Oh god! I miss her. She's been away for too long. Since last Thursday, that was the last time I saw her face. I wasn't used to not having Marron around, simply because she'd never went away before. We even took holidays together when we were little, so there was rarely time apart from each other.

Man, I'm a fuck-up. I need someone to shoot me in the head. I'm a loser, a twat, and a messed up kind of guy. Yeah, that's me. Trunks the muppet; Trunks the idiot.

I'm not even sure why I called her a slut, I think it was mainly 'cos of the way that Zack was looking at her. He wanted to use her and lose her. Yeah, that's it... that's the reason.

Who am I kidding? It's 'cos I was fucking jealous.

Yeah, jealous that Marron could actually find other men attractive. I've always had this idea that Marron 'belonged' to me. I don't know how or why. I guess spending so much time with a girl makes her special to you.

But I've realized that I haven't exactly been the innocent angel either. (Didn't we all?! *rolls eyes* -KD)

It was unfair of me to keep Marron like that when I, Trunks Briefs, could freely date anyone I wanted.

So, to finally sort things out, I've decided. I've decided I will finally let Marron go. Face the facts that she can date anyone she wants!

But having said that, I still don't feel right.

I rose from my office chair- the bad boss one- and locked the door. Time for some manly comfort.

I slouched down on the leather couch and struggled myself out of my suit jacket. I exhaled and reached for my cellphone, punched in some numbers, and waited for the ringing tone.

'Good afternoon, friend.' spoke a deep voice. 'Welcome to SG gay sex hotlines.'

'Shut the fuck up, Goten.'

'.......'

'I'm missing her again.' I whined. 'I can't bear it, man!'

'Would you like a free massage? Courtesy of SG enterprises?'

'No, I'm not into that stuff. Now shut up already.'

'Oh, but a man needs to feel wanted...'

'Goten, carry on and you'll be sucking your food through a straw.'

'Tough threat, but you know I'm stronger than you.'

'No you ain't.'

'Yes I am.'

'But you ain't.'

'But I am.'

'You ain't!'

'I AM!'

I slammed the receiver down with a last retaliation and cooled down a bit. I could feel my forehead burning from the rush of anger and stubbornness. I'm glad I wasn't like poppy-veiny like my dad, though. Boy, was that scary.

The phone literally shook as it rang and I picked up the chrome chunk of metal.

'Hi loser.' came the voice from the other side.

'Hey.'

My dignity had vanished, I wouldn't have cared if someone smeared a raw egg on my face then.

'You know, Trunks, she'll come back soon. Just carry on with the hope of seeing her tomorrow instead of just lazing around like a sloth, pitying yourself.'

'... Thanks for the wise words.'

'But...?'

'But what? Tell me.'

'Don't you have anything else to say? You're just going to agree with me? You usually argue back with some snide comments.'

'Not when I know you're right.'

'Thanks... I think.'

'You're welcome, G.'

'I miss her too, you know?'

'Yeah, I know. I'd bet even the paper guy would miss her.'

I heard Goten laugh on the other side.

'You're right, Marron radiates sunshine, doesn't she?' he laughed again.

'Goten, was there ever a time that you thought about Marron in, you know... that way?' I pondered aloud.

Silence struck.

'Trunks... are you tryin' na say what I think you're tryin' na say?' he asked in a mock southern voice.

'Gee, I dunno, Goten. Are you thinkin' that I'm tryin' na say that I think I may be in lurve wi' young Mar?' I replied, in an equally southern voice.

'Yeah, I thought so. I could see it in your eyes.'

'What, our eyes? Meaning, two people? Hey, has she said something to you? Are you not telling me something, Goten? Goten? Goten?'

'No.'

'Seriously, Goten, don't play games. You know my temper.'

'Look, she hasn't said anything to me. I just have this feeling that you guys are in love with each other but you both think that you're too far into the friendship 'brother and sister' stage to take note of your attraction.'

'Really?'

'No, Barbara, not really. I just said that to waste time.'

'I get it, I get it.'

'Good boy, have a Scooby snack.'

I sighed and started to flick my purple hair with my fingers like a dork. Never had there been a day I'd been so low on self-respect.

'So how do I know if I love her?'

'What, like you already don't?'

'No, I need to find out if my love is for real. That I'm not imagining it, you know? That I'm not feeling towards her out of protection.'

'I can understand that, I guess. Just ask yourself umm... do ya love her?'

'Goten! That's what I'm trying to find out! Argh!'

'Oh okay then, for real now. Let's see, if you had one candy left, and you had to choose one person to give it to, whom would you choose? Me, you or Marron?'

'Me.'

'..... You're meant to say Marron, or at least me.'

'Oh.. Next question.'

'How many kids do you wanna have with her?'

'Four,' I said, not realizing I had ironically already made my mind up.

'At your wedding, who ya gonna invite?'

'Uh... you? I really can't run up a list right n- oh my god!'

'Ya-huh. There you go.'

'But I've felt this way all along. I realized there was something a long time ago, but... I guess... wow.'

'Uh huh. So... how are you going to tell her?'

I was brought back to Earth and my hopes dampened. I didn't know whether Marron would accept it. It wasn't advisable to lay something as big as this on her. After all, weeks ago she did say that the kiss had just been a friendly one. She probably only kissed me because she felt sorry for me after seeing my state at the hospital. Trust her to be so annoyingly considerate.

'With style.'

A/N- *squashes Trunks* I lubb yooo! And I lubb YOO even more! *grabs Goten* So! Marron is angry with Trunks but Trunks finally realized he had strong feelings for Marron (feelings past one of a bro). I guess that's sorted, lol. Stay tuned to find out what happens next. Toodles!
