*squashed up KD emerges from the crowd*

Hehh... here's your responses... *faints*

Enchanted Girl- Lol # Don't stop, no never ever stop the feeling...#

Lady of the Dark- *edges away slowly* Stalker? Meep. Anyway enough of that, it's not like I haven't had stalkers before or anything, sheesh! Okay... so I haven't but I don't mind you ^_^ I promise that you will get your romantic slushy poopy chapter, but just be ever so patient? *puppy dog eyes* I'd hate to see my most valued reviewer slipping off because she got bored of me!!!! *bawls* What did I do to deserve this... WHY ME?

Ahem... excuse me while I step over there. *runs*

Anime Hellcat- Aww bless you, hon. Don't worry I will never forget to mention you. I've been trying my best to tear myself away from my busy schedule to do extra things like reading your fic but I am just so frickin' important! Jokin, lol. Oh, and don't worry about my conscience, she tends to be a little bitchy at times. *sigh* but I just don't know where she gets it from.

: : MONDAY 26th AUGUST : :

[Marron]

My phone had been switched off for at least a week, so imagine my 'surprise' when I found out I had received 38 texts and 103 missed calls. Expectedly, there were no voice mails, Trunks didn't often do voice mail.

Things had taken a drastic turn, my anger and annoyance had evaporated and instead condensed into a mixture of anxiety and apprehension. I could not believe that after all my rebellions and efforts to resist feelings towards Trunks, everything had fallen apart and I'd found myself back at square one. I had planned to take a two-hour train journey back to Orange City from my parent's house in National Green later on in the day. Everything had been packed, and my folks had promised to join me back at Orange when my father's assignment finished the next Monday, which was in a week.

I couldn't wait to go back to Orange City and get my feelings out into the open with Trunks. I was tired of playing games, and I was tired of waiting for him.

The farewell between my parents and I was a short one, kisses on the cheek from my mother and a great hug from my dad. I waved as the train slowly rushed them out of my sight, then I continued to occupy myself in a dream world where everything would be fine.

The much loved food trolley came and I bought a cupcake for a very light breakfast. I also grabbed myself a paper and began reading through Trunks's story in detail, as I had nothing better to do.

Going through the paper, I slowly picked up on information that wasn't made clear before. Trunks had also been seen the previous night in a pub, drowning his sorrows with a stranger. And there was even a quote from him. It read- 'She was unfairly taken away from me, and I just really want her back. Otherwise my temper might get the better of me again.'- I understood what he implied. That was Trunks's way of saying sorry. But that didn't mean I know why he was threatening to kill Goten. What if he's serious? These happenings seemed very bizarre to me, which made me gladder that I was soon to find out the real reason behind his mishaps.

But then something struck my mind that I'd never thought about before. What if there was a possibility that Trunks did really have feelings for me? He cast me as his girlfriend.

That thought never even thought about crossing my mind before, but with all good reason because I have an answer for everything anyway. And the answer to this question is- if he did have feelings for me- that he only pitied me after the accident, and felt himself to blame.

--------

I gingerly made my way up the stairs of the train station, watching every step underneath my delicate dolly heels, and holding on to the black hat that shielded my face. If I didn't have it on I think I would have been mobbed by 'rescuers'. Reaching the top of the flight, I placed my bags down on a cart and proceeded towards the exit.

I mustn't be seen.

Onto other more important matters, I was delighted when I spotted Paresu in the station's Harrods branch. Harrods was the leading retailers everywhere. She was a shop assistant and we simply caught up on old times... which was approximately a week's duration.

To my surprise, not much had gone on. Apart from the whole Trunks thing of course. She seemed oddly distracted the whole time I was talking to her, though. When I got round to asking what was wrong, she'd conveniently been beckoned upon by the store manager.

I bid her goodbye and left the area, heading back to my apartment.

So, I'd come back to my apartment, and found it trashed. With bricks bearing 'Trunks User' and 'Hussy' on them. Ah, the distance some girls (or guys) can throw bricks will never cease to amaze me. Especially when it's up on a fourth floor. I also found a photo stuck to a card from Trunks by the door. It showed him, Paresu and Goten in a mock crying state and apparently begging for me to come back. The expressions on their faces were absolutely hilarious, but I was too pissed off to laugh.

Suddenly, Pan and Bura came running out of my bedroom with bedsheets for capes. I screamed at the shock and nearly fell over when they began to circle me, chasing each other.

'I got Fluffy, I got Fluffy!' came a pathetic and wailing Goten, also emerging from my bedroom. He halted abruptly when he saw me amidst the rubbish.

'Hi Marron!' he yelled. 'We missed you!'

'Uhh... Goten? You're not being kept hostage, then?'

'Nope, we're playing space invaders!'

'With Fluffy?'

He nodded, holding up my rabbit.

'We only come here when we're bored! Anyway, Marron, how have you been?' he said, and in one swift movement, he had somehow managed to put my rabbit down, maneuver through all the rubbish, and pull me into a bear hug.

I, of course, couldn't persist so I decided to faint on him.

I was tired and overwhelmed, I had to do it sooner or later!

--------

When I woke up, I thought my dream state was still lingering because strangely enough, my flat was spotless. I could actually make out a floor and Fluffy had been put back into her den. Goten sat on the couch sipping a frappacino through a straw. Bura was bouncing on a space hopper and Pan was asleep. I cleared my throat and spoke

'And through all the time I was gone, you only thought to tidy up this desolate place today? It didn't exactly take a long time either, did it?' I said, looking up at Goten.

'Duh, Marron! I got to clean up my mess right after I finish playing!'

'What? So in one day, three bricks were hurled through my window and you ate that many packets of Frazzles?'

'Yup.'

I sighed in defeat and decided to concentrate on less stressful things. I sat up on the sofa and leeched onto Goten like a baby.

'I love you too, honey. But please, just don't tell Paresu!' he whispered.

I giggled and lightly pecked his cheek, he replied with a goofy grin and stuck out his tongue.

'Tell me what happened between you and Trunks, Marron. Why did you really leave?'

I untangled myself from his frame and sat properly beside him.

'We had an argument.'

'I know about that, Marron. I'm asking why you really went...'

'Well, apart from that, I guess I didn't like being taken for granted.'

'You know that's not true, Maz!'

'How do you know?'

'Because... you seem to fit so perfectly into this picture I have in my head. And it's a picture of you and Trunks.'

I was pinned down by shock at Goten's words. Then I thought, seeing as he was one of my closest friends, it was about time that he heard it from me.

'I do have feelings for him.'

Goten's sombre face changed to a happy one and he smiled furiously.

'I knew it!'

'Yeah yeah... y'know.'

'It was there all along!'

'Yes...'

'And Trunks is so oblivious to it!'

If I hadn't been so consumed in my own self-pity and confusion, I would have thought twice about Goten's last statement. Why would Trunks need to know anyway? I would have thought. But seeing as I was so consumed in my own self-pity, I didn't.

'Marron, Trunks likes you as more than a friend!' Goten happily exclaimed.

I couldn't believe my ears, and chose not to believe them.

'Whatever, Goten.' I retaliated. 'Sure!'

Goten tensed his face and body. 'He does, and I know you're too shocked and happy to take it in, so take your time to do something about it.'

I tensed up and then frowned. This wasn't unexpected because amongst my thoughts this possibility lingered. I was just so scared. And I didn't know why.

'Goten...' I finally said. 'Thanks.'

His face seemed vacant but I knew he was thinking something behind that facade.

'Girls it's time to go... I got to get back to my, um, situation.' Goten grinned cheekily and winked. 'And Marron, good luck.' he leaned down a gave me a warm kiss on my red cheek.

And with that, he took the two girls and my rabbit by their hands and left.

I sat. I sat and began to think.

A/N- Uhh, if you thought that chapter was weird, then don't worry because I know what I'm doing, lol. I hope you'll like my story line.
