'I am going crazy Goten.' Said Trunks as he had breakfast with his best friend and brother-in-law at capsule corp. 'It's been over six months and she still haunts my dreams. Even dad's worry about me.'
Goten looked up from his from his now empty plate and fixed Trunks with a look that he could not interpret, 'Trunks everybody is worried about you. Bra, Bulma, me even my father is beginning to ask questions and we certainly have reason to be concerned.' Said Goten as he pointed to Trunks' untouched plate, 'Can you even remember the last time you ate something?' he asked. Trunks looked away and mumbled something. Goten sighed, 'You don't eat, you don't sleep…'
'You don't train' Interrupted Vegeta as he and Bra walked into the dinning room from their weekly father-daughter sparring session, 'and your mother's complaining that you are neglecting your duty as Capsule Corp. president. Not that I care about that but you can't function like this brat. It would be a tremendous disgrace if you died of this…obsession.'
Trunks blinked than smiled, 'I really must be acting weird if you are so concerned about me.' He commented a little amused but than his face fell. 'I can't help it daddy. I tried to forget her but I just can't.' said Trunks as a depressed look suffused itself on his face. Than suddenly he jumped to his feet, 'If I don't get moving I'll be late.' He said as he darted up to his room. Leaving the other's to ponder his well being.
No sooner had Trunks entered that the phone began to ring. Grimacing Trunks tapped some keys and Marron's image whirled on to t he small LCD screen of the visual-telephone. 'Hey, Trunks.' She greeted him cheerfully, 'How are you?'
'Hello Marron.' Trunks replied, unfortunately with no where near the enthusiasm, which laced Marron's voice. 'I'm fine.'
'Still single?' asked Marron ignoring Trunks' tone.
Trunks' suddenly became more alert, 'Marron what are you up to?' he demanded in gathering alarm. He really hated it when his friends set him up.
Marron smiled an innocent smile, 'Nothing. It's just that there is this girl who has been asking around about you and I thought that I might introduce her to you. Since she is so keen to meet you.'
Trunks slumped back in the chair.' Marron I am not in any state to start a new relationship.'
'Who's asking you to?' Marron demanded, 'Just talk to the girl. Come on Trunks, I won't take no for an answer.'
Trunks closed his eyes, mentally kicking himself for doing what he was doing, 'Fine, bring her to Cap corp. tonight.'
'Great. I'll see you than.'
Trunks deliberately worked late that night. He was not looking forward to meeting this new girl. He was not looking forward to going home. All the women were going to be there. His mother, Chichi, Videl, Bra, Marron, #18, Pan and of course the name less new girl. Should be quite a night, thought he as he flew up to his room.
'He's here.' Noted Marron. As she felt Trunks' KI.
'Who?' asked a soft gentle voice.
'The guy I want you to meet.' Answered Marron and returned to her conversation with Bulma.
'Is Marron nuts?' demanded Pan of Bra telepathically, 'I mean of all of us I would think she would be the last person who would set anyone up with Trunks.'
Bra smiled and thought back, 'Obviously you do not know who our guest is than. She has been in town less than a year and already every guy in town who has seen her is fawning over her. But do you know how many she has gone out with?'
'How many?'
'None. It is impossible to get a date with her but she is irresistible to the extent that men would do anything to get her. Marron want Trunks to feel what it's like to not get something you want. She's still in love with him.'
'Every girl who has ever dated Trunks is still in love with him.' Pan pointed out.
'Yes, but they have moved on. Like you have moved on to Uubu. But Marron cannot move on. She wants Trunks to feel what she's feeling even if for just a little while.' Bra smile took on a wiry twist, 'little does she know that Trunks is already going mad from that little encounter he had with that water nymph of his.'
'He still isn't over that incident?' asked Pan in wonder.
'Nope. If anything he's worse.' Replied Bra.
'She must have been one hell of a looker.' Noted Pan. 'Maybe she was as pretty as her.' She added as she directed a look tainted with jealousy at the new girl. Bra just smiled.
Trunks steeped out of the shower and dried himself with his KI. He got dressed briskly and headed down stairs. He could here the chattering long before he even reached the drawing room door. He stood outside the room taking long deep breaths to calm himself. Finally he felt composed enough to face the women inside. Pushing the door gently aside he stepped into the room, gaped, reeled and took an involuntary step back as his eyes fell on the raven haired beauty sitting next to Marron, 'You.' He all but screamed.
This brought her eyes to him and she in turn yelped, jumped out of her chair and whispered to Marron, 'You didn't tell me you were bring me to his house.'
Marron still confused from the unexpected reaction said, 'I wanted to surprise you and I think I have. You two met before.'
'Briefly.' Said the girl.
'Very briefly.' Admitted Trunks, 'That's not to say it was not eventful.' Said Trunks a touch maliciously. Blood washed over the girl's face as she turned her gaze away from Trunks.
Realization began to dawn on Bra, 'So,' she said teasingly, 'this is the water nymph you haven't been able to get out of your mind.' It was Trunks' turn to blush. The girl looked at him with an amused smirk on her face, 'You thought I was a water nymph?'
'Well what was I suppose to think?' wondered Trunks, 'I saw you for what thirty seconds tops and I still haven't been able to get you out of my mind. Feh, you can't possible be human.' Declared Trunks. 'So the question is what the hell are?' demanded Trunks.
'She's a Saiyain brat.' Came Vegeta's voice.
Everybody turned to Vegeta who was leaning on the doorway behind Trunks. The girl gasped, 'Prince Vegeta!'
