~ Trunks' Apartment ~
"Hey Trunks, where did you put the box with my shoes?" Marron yelled from the closest.
"Which box." He laughed from the livingroom. She sighed and got up.
"Real cute." She said walking out of his bedroom.
"No joking. You have so many boxes, I don't know what's what anymore." Trunks said sitting down the last box from her car.
"Sweetie, I wrote shoes really big on it. It shouldn't be too hard to find." Marron said as if she was talking to a three year old and laughed.
"I still think capsules would have been much easier…" He said sitting down in a chair that wasn't occupied with a box.
"Well, did I have any with me? No, so stop saying that." She glared at him, then let out a heavy sigh. "Crap, I have to get ready." She remembered.
"And I have to make reservations." He said and pulled out his cell from his jacket.
"You mean you do have reservations and you made me invite everyone already." Marron said a little shocked.
"Mar, you are looking at the president of Capsule Corp, I can get a reservation." He said cockily.
"Oh I'm sorry, oh Great One." She said sarcastically. He smirked and dialed Rikishi's number. Marron shook her head and searched for her shoes.
~ The Son Home ~
"Mom! Do you have my earrings?!" Pan asked from up the stairs.
"No dear, remember you let Bra borrow them a few days ago!" Her mother responded.
"Oh." She said mostly to herself. Pan frowned and fixed her skirt, it was a little too short for her and she kept pulling it down. "Damn Marron, making me buy this freakin' skirt." She grumbled under her breath, she had brought it when her and Marron had gone shopping one day. Her mother was making her wear something nice, since they were all going to eat at a fancy restaurant. Well, it was more like Trunks was taking everyone out to eat at a fancy restaurant…but either way she still had to get dressed up. She flipped out her hair and threw on a lime green shirt that went with the flower print skirt. Then she quickly applied some light make up. She smeared her lipstick and mentally cursed at herself. She wiped it off and applied it back on. Pan finished up and put on her favorite brown leather knee-highs. Atleast she could feel comfortable in those. She sighed and then hurried down stairs.
"Wow, done so soon?" Videl joked. Pan rolled her eyes and took a seat on the kitchen table.
"Funny mom, I hate this stupid skirt. Trunks had better have some really good news…"
"Oh, I'm sure. Especially since it was last minute and at such a expensive restaurant." Videl said after finishing her snack that she was eating.
"We are talking about Trunks, he is loaded." Pan sighed again and started playing with the hem of her shirt.
"Okay, what's wrong." Her mother said concernedly.
"Nothing is wrong." She lied badly.
"Pan, I've been your mother for 22 years now and I can tell when you are sad, also when you are lying." Videl said giving her a I know you better than you think look. "Did something happen between you and Uub?"
"No, not really. I mean he hasn't done anything nor have we gotten in a fight or anything." Pan sighed and looked up at her mother. Videl sighed and looked down at her sympathetically.
"Is this about Noino?" She asked her daughter.
"No…well yes, it's just…I see how happy my friends with each other are and they make me think of him. It hurts to think about him..." She admitted.
"I know Honey, but you know you just have to get over it." Videl smiled sympathetic at her and put her hand over hers.
"It's just hard too, I don't want to be a bad girlfriend to Uub but… I just will never love anyone like I did Noino." Pan said sadly and frustrated. After a few minutes of thinking to herself she stood up. "I'm going to meet Uub…" She said and started for the door
"Okay, I'll see you at the restaurant then…oh wait, take a capsule car. I don't want you flying around with a skirt on." Videl said suddenly just as Pan was about to go out the door.
"Oh, don't worry. I'm put on some shorts on, underneath the stupid rag." Pan smirked and took off flying. Videl shook her head and went to her bedroom to finish getting ready herself.
~ Back at Trunks and Marron's Apartment ~
"Ok, we can finish packing tomorrow, you did get the reservations right Mr. President?" Marron mocked. Trunks glared at her, but then rolled his eyes.
"You have little faith in me, don't you." He smirked while fixing his tie. Rikishi's was one of those suit and tie type places and even Vegeta will have to get dressed up.
"We have called everyone, right?" She said worriedly and rubbed her engagement ring that was on her hand.
"Yes, stop being nervous. It will go fine, there's nothing to be jittery about." He said trying to calm her down and walked over to her, she hugged him carefully not wanting to get her makeup on his suit. She had put her hair putting it into a French twist with two pieces left down to outline her face. She wore a simple but elegant black dress that showed off all her curves; then she topped it of with the pearl necklace and bracelet that her mother had given to her.
She sighed mentally, *I guess you're right*
*Aren't I'm always, though*
"Geez, you're being awfully cockily tonight." Marron joked.
"You giving you a taste of what it's gonna be like living with me." He laughed and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "Come on let's go, we are gonna have to get there early to prepare the cooks for six saiyans and two pregnant women." She laughed as they walked out the door; he locked it and turned to escort her to his personal limo.
"I guess you're righ…two pregnant women?" Marron said realizing what he had said and looked him spuriously. Trunks froze under her glaze, but then relaxed a little after realizing that it was only Marron and that she wouldn't say anything.
"Well, I'm not suppose to know this but…Videl is pregnant." He whispered as if someone could be listening. Marron was shocked at first.
"Videl's pregnant too!" She squealed. Trunks laughed but then hushed her.
"Geez Mar, you want the whole neighborhood to know?" Trunks said still laughing.
"Aww…they can be bestfriends like how you and Goten were. That's so cute!" Marron sniffed causing Trunks sweatdropped as they began walking again.
"Good evening Mr. Briefs." The chauffeur said as she opened the door for Trunks and Marron. "Miss Marron." She said and smiled.
"But soon it will be Mr. and Mrs. Briefs, Daphne." Trunks smirked as he let Marron climb in first.
"Finally, I thought you would never settle down." She laughed closing the door after he two had gotten in. She drove them to the front of Rikishi's, then opened the door for them as they got out. The doorman greeted them as they walked in. The place was pretty much packed with wealthy businessmen and many other rich couples. The restaurant's owner rushed towards them from the front desk.
"Mr. Briefs, how nice to see you again." The shorter man bowed and gestured them to follow him; he spoke in a slight English accent. Marron just smiled and held onto Trunks' arm as they followed him. Many people in the restaurant had turned to look at them causing Marron to feel even more nervous. "As usual, we have prepared a elegant dinning area for you and your guests." The man spoke again, causing her to look back down at him.
"And it's very much appreciated." Trunks replied. "I hope your cooks are also prepared, my friends can eat as much as I do." He smirked at the man's face. Marron suppressed a giggle.
"Yes...I hope they are too." The man laughed nervously and showed them where they are to be seated. "Here we are, is this suitable?" He asked.
"Very much so, thank you. Just send my guests back here, they should arrive shortly." Trunks said after they walked to a large table in the back of the restaurant away from the smaller tables up at the front. It had a beautiful flower arrangement in the middle of the table with the silverware and the other tableware already set out. Each plate had a napkin shaped as a swan in the middle. Marron nodded her head approvingly.
"Very well then, just send for me if there is a problem." He said and bowed once more. Marron sighed as he left, and turned to face Trunks.
"Well, what now?" Marron asked as she folded her arms across her chest.
"We wait." He smiled and pulled out a chair for she. She took the seat and he sat down next beside her. "Geez, could you have been anymore nervous when we walked in." Her eyes widen and open her mouth.
"I was not." She said denying it and laughed.
"Oh yeah, then why did I feel you get nervous?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Okay, maybe I was, with all those people were starring at us, who wouldn't get a little nervous." She said in her own defense.
"Not me, but that's only because I'm use to it now. Especially at this place, I swear he announces to everyone that I'm coming or something." He joked.
"Yeah, I bet he does." Marron said sarcastically and smiled but it faded into a frown. "Did you call Bra and Goten?"
"No, did you?"
*Oh shit* She mentally cussed. "Let me see your phone, hopefully Chi-Chi called them or something." She said and bit her lip as he handed her his cell. She dialed Goten's number, but no one seemed to answer. "Good, maybe they're on their way." She said relieved a little. As soon as she handed him the phone they saw Videl and Chi-Chi walking towards them followed by Gohan. She stood up and greeted them.
"I hope we aren't too early." Videl said as she hugged Marron.
"No not at all, Trunks was boring me always." She smirked as she heard him cough behind her, but ignored him. "I heard you had some news to tell as well." She smiled and raised and eyebrow at her.
"Really? I guess this would be the best time anyways." Videl replied and smiled. They all sat down and talked until everyone else arrived. Soon the only ones who weren't there were Goten and Bra and it was almost time to order.
"Has anyone talked to them today?" Chi-Chi asked a little worried about them.
"You mean you haven't talked to them?" Marron asked confused.
"No not today." She frowned. Marron realized what had happened and blushed a little. She started laughing and everyone looked at her.
"What is it?" Trunks asked confused as well.
"I think they're still at Goten's." She said and covered her mouth. Everyone started laughing, well except Vegeta who was fuming and Chi-Chi who was still confused.
"What?" She said confused at what everyone was laughing about and Pan, who was sitting next to her, whispered it into her ear. Chi-Chi blushed and causing everyone to laugh even more.
"Hold on, let me call them." Trunks said still laughing and took out his cell. He called until a very sleepy Goten picked up.
~ The Phone Call ~
"Hello?" Goten asked tiredly.
"Hey, let me talk to Bra." Trunks asked trying not to laugh.
"Okay, hold on." He said and tried to wake her. Trunks should hear him saying Bra and her whining about leaving her alone. She finally woke up and took the phone from Goten.
"Who the hell is this?!" She practically yelled into the phone. Well, loud enough that everyone sitting near Trunks heard her.
"Geez, shouldn't you be up Bra? It's only 8:30…" He began.
"What do you want Trunks?" She groaned from being wakened.
"Well, I'm at Rikishi's and everyone is here except for you two." He smirked. Bra suddenly realized that they had forgotten,
"Oh shit! Hold on, we'll be right there, bye." She said fully awake and then hung up on him.
~ End of Call ~
~ Goten's Apartment ~
"God, someone just shoot me. Damn it to hell." She cursed as she jumped out of the bed to get ready. "Goten get your ass up and get ready!"
"What in the hell, Bra?" Goten was completely confused at his mate's sudden attitude.
*Trunks just called and said we were suppose to meet them at Rikishi's…remember?* She said mentally as she started the shower.
"Oh shit." He said after realizing what had happened. He got up and followed Bra in the shower…
*Hahaha… Um, yeah…anyways, I'm going to have my next chapter up either tonight or tomorrow. Depending how long I'm making the dinner thing. I was going to write more but I'm hungry and I know all of you want something to read…so I hope you liked it. To my readers: please review! It gives me the motivation to write and I'm always open for ideas. ~Marron
