PART
I
" Shouldn't you be out training? "
Pan looked up from
her book. Goten was hunched over peering into their refrigerator.
" Yea, and shouldn't you be on a
date?" Pan replied mockingly. Not recognizing the sarcasm, Goten
said,"Yeah, I have a date in a couple of hours."
Pan gazed at her
uncle incredulously. He never seemed to be at a loss for girls.
"I'm going over to Trunks's first
though. You know, do a little sparring warm-up. Wanna come, Pan?"
" Will Bra be there?"Pan
inquired.
" She should be. So are you coming or not?"
"Yeah, I'll go. But this was a
really good book." She sighed. She and Goten went to the backyard for
takeoff. Pan loved the feel of flying again.As they neared CapsuleCorp, Pan
spotted Bra and Marron.
" Hey you guys, wait up!" Pan shouted down to
them. "Pan?" They cried
surprisingly. " We were just about to call you." Bra explained.
"Wanna watch Goten and Trunks
spar?" Marron asked. " Even though we know Trunks will win." Bra
and Pan looked at each other and rolled their eyes. Marron and Trunks were
going out, and she always talked about him.
Goten threw a ki blast, which Trunks
dodged easily. He sneaked up behind Goten elbowed him to the ground. Goten fell
hard, but he wasn't unconscious.
" You alright man?" Trunks
asked, concerned for his best friend.
" Yeah," Goten grunted.
" You always win."
Marron jumped up from the ground to
congratulate Trunks. They embraced heavily, as if there were no tomorrow. For
some reason, their figures made Pan's stomach churn. Her heart ached, and she
couldn't take it anymore. Thankfully, they finally tore apart, not even
noticing their bewitched audience.
" I knew
you'd win Trunks." Marron breathed flirtatiously. Then she looked over at
Goten. "No offense, Goten." Goten gazed at her heavenly body, with
her long blond hair, and he didn't care. But he envied his friend. Trunks
though, didn't seem to notice.
" So Pan. What'd you think of that
one. I really slaughtered your uncle there, huh?" Trunks chatted
cheerfully. " Yeah, sure..."
Pan replied disdainfully. Trunks looked at her, surprised. What was wrong with
her? But before he could ask, Marron dragged him away.
" So where are we eating tonight,
Trunks?" Marron asked anxiously.
" Huh? Oh, well I guess wherever you
want to go." He replied, though he was still quizzical about that latest
situation concerning Pan. " Trunks? Trunks?"
"What?" Trunks snapped.
Looking up, he saw it was just Marron. Immediately he was sorry for snapping at
her. " Geez, well I'm sorry for caring, Trunks." Marron cried out,
wondering why Trunks wasn't paying attention to her. Trunks knew he had to make
up for this incident, before it haunted hi for the rest of his life. Quickly,
he leaned over and gently placed his smooth lips on Marron's. Marron was
surprised, but readily enjoyed having Trunks kiss him. Looking behind him, she
could see Bra, Goten, and Pan all gaping at them, and she knew they had
witnessed the whole scene, Embarrassed, she broke away from Trunks. "
We'll continue this later," she whispered. To the group, she
remarked," What are ya'll doing?" And immediately the group
separated.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Pan's heart now burned. She knew how
much Trunks cared for Marron, and knew he would never feel the same for her.
I'm too young, she said consoling herself. Maybe he would like me if I were
older. She sighed. Telling Bra she'd be back later, she set off for home,
hoping her mother wouldn't be there to ask her what was wrong. She just needed
to be alone.
Trunks was still wondering what had
gotten into Pan. Maybe she just doesn't like me anymore. Nah, that can't be it.
We've known each other forever. Do you think she just got sick of me? No, she
wouldn't do that. Then what was it? Thoughts poured into his head. Why was he
caring so much for Pan anyways? She was just Goten's niece. Yeah, and your friend, he reminded himself.
Why was he having these thoughts about Pan? Of course, she could always make
him laugh, and she wasn't so sickeningly flirtatious like other girls, namely
Marron. Yes, and she was beautiful. What am I thinking? I can't think this
about her! She's like 10 years younger than me! But if you love her, it
wouldn't matter, he could picture Goku saying. But did he love her? He had
Marron. There was a lot for Trunks to think about.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Marron waited and waited for Trunks to
pick her up for dinner. For as long as she'd known him, (forever) she never
knew Trunks to be as spacey as he had been today. They had been going out for
like three years after all. She wondered what was bothering him. Her thoughts
drifted to Goten, his best friend. He was always so nice to her, when Trunks
was at Capsule Corp, being the almighty president, who never had enough time.
He talked to her, and treated her like a lady. Then Marron wondered why she was
thinking of Goten, before her date with Trunks. *Ding dong* Trunks was there.
Marron knew she couldn't tell Trunks about these thoughts she didn't want. She
couldn't be thinking of Goten. Marron had to prove her loyalty to Trunks, for
herself. And she knew just what to do.

At the
Restaurant
" Trunks, we
need to talk."
" What is it
Marron? Is it because I've been a bit spacey lately? I'm sorry. I-"
" No Trunks,
that's not it." Marron interrupted. " Trunks, do you love me?"
Astonished, Trunks
was speechless. " Um.... of course
I do!"
Marron took a deep
breath. " Will you marry me?"
Author's note: This would be
the end of part 1 but keep reading:
It'd be awful if I
ended the story here, huh?
PART
II
" Pan, go get the mail!" Gohan
called.
" But I'm reading a book!" Pan
said. She knew saying something about her book would make her father get it for
her.
" Oh all right, but you better be
reading!" Gohan went outside and came back with a stack of letters. " Let's see.... bills, electric bill,
gas bill, Videl honey! Look at this!"
Videl came running out of the bedroom. " What is it honey?
Something exciting?"
" Oh yea, pretty exciting."
Gohan replied. " Look at this! Those darn gas people! Charging us eight
hundred dollars for gas. Humph! What a mockery."
Videl rolled her eyes. " Is that all
Gohan?"
Gohan kept flipping through the mail."
more bills, bills, bill Trunks's wedding invitation, bills, ooo a lateChristmas
card from your father, more bills..."
Pan dropped her book. " Dad! Did you
say Trunks's wedding invitation!?"
Gohan looked up
from his glasses, peering at the letter. " Yes. Says right here. You are
invited to Trunks and Marron's grand Wedding. Ceremony will be Next Friday for
those who will attend. Next Saturday at Capsule Corp's Grand Ballroom for the
fun reception. Yes. That's what it says. I wonder if Mom and Dad know...."
Pan gaped at her Father. This couldn't
be...
So it goes like it
goes
like the river flows
And time just
rolls right on
And maybe whats
good
gets a little bit better
And
maybe what's bad gets gone
Pan cooped up into her room, listening
to the song over and over again. This bad won't get gone until I make it gone,
Pan decided. She just couldn't sit around while one of her best friends and her
true love got married. She wasn't going to let it happen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trunks sat in his
room, mystified by what he was going to do. All of a sudden, Pan flew into his
room. For a weird reason, his stomach did a flip flop as he searched her
scowling face for a reason of her intrusion.
" So you're getting married in
a week?" Pan confirmed.
" Yes, we are," Trunks
replied, but Pan detected a waver in his voice.
" Trunks, do you love her?" Pan inquired.
" Marron? Yeah, of course I
do." Again, Pan saw a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
" Trunks, let's spar."
Pan decided abruptly. Perhaps this would settle everything, she thought.
" Pan, what for?" Trunks was really confused.
But he couldn't help but notice how nice she looked when she was determined.
She looked him straight in the
eye. " For your love."
Surprisingly, Trunks knew what
she meant. And he knew he had to do it.
" Fine."
It was Pan's turn to be surprised. "
Fine? So you'll spar me to win your love?"
Trunks took a deep
breath. " I have to. For me, for you, for Marron."
Pan was taken aback, but her heart was
pleased. So he did love her. " Let's go outside."
* * *
* * * * * * * * *
Once outside, they settled the ground
rules.
" If I win, you have to confess your
love to me, " Pan decided.
" If I win, I can do whatever with my
love, whether it's for Marron, or you," Trunks said.
" Fine."
"Fine. Let's spar." Trunks
flew up into the air, followed by Pan. Pan threw a heavy ki blast at him, but
he easily dodged it. He flew right at her, and punches went flying at each
other. Pan kicked him and he fell back. She grinned."So what do you
think?"
" It's not over yet, Pan."
Trunks replied with certainty. This time, Trunks threw a ki blast at Pan, and
she was caught off guard. Falling heavily backwards, she landed in the dirt,
not moving.
" Pan, Pan! Are you ok?
Pan?" Trunks cried helplessly. Pan opened her eyes slowly.
" Yea, I'm alright..." She
got up, and gave Trunks a long smooth kiss. He was taken aback.
" But, I lost." Pan said
as she pulled away from him. Abruptibly, she flew away. Over her shoulder, she
called," So what kind of weddings presents do ya'll want?" Trunks
watched her defeating body, realizing how much he admired her for that. Only
another reason why he liked her, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed as
she left. He also noticed a tingly feeling she left on his mouth, and how he
liked it. But could he really marry Marron with these feelings for Pan?
" Goten ! "
" Yes, Mom?"
" Could you deliver these papers
to Krillin right now? Please? They need to be delivered quickly. They're about
Marron's wedding reception! " Chi-Chi came out of the room, and handed
Goten the papers."Hurry!"
Goten sighed. Marron's wedding
reception. He sure didn't want to hear any more about that. But he couldn't let
down his mom. Reluctantly, he flew towards Master Roshi's. Why hadn't he found
out about their wedding from Trunks? Instead, he just had to learn about it
from Gohan. Trunks always got everything. He was the president of Capsule
Corp., had any girls he wanted, but now he had Marron, whom Goten had longed
for whiles back. Life just wasn't fair. Yet, he knew he had to be happy for
Trunks and Marron, or at least pretend to.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
" Mom, which
dress should I wear at the reception? Which one for the ceremony? What do you
think?"Marron asked. 18 sighed.
" Whichever one you like."
" Ok, I'm going to go try them
on."
" Alright. Im going to go to the market, honey. I'll be back later.
You can't starve at the reception you know." 18 said.
" Fine." Marron bounded up the
stairs to her room. She tried on a quite revealing silky blue dress for the
reception. Standing in front of her full length mirror, Marron knew it looked
good. *Ding Dong* Who could be here
now? Marron sighed and turned away from the mirror. Gently, she lifted her
dress, and went down the stairs. * Ding Dong*
" One second!" Marron cried.
Finally she reached the door, and pulled it open. On her steps stood Goten,
looking mildy impatient. Goten looked up and gasped.
" M-Ma-Marron? You look beautiful.
What's the occasion now? Is Krillin here? Where is everybody?" Goten
babbled on. Marron couldn't help noticing how cute he looked. Here on her front
steps stood the guy, because of Marron's affections for him, made her decid to
marry Trunks. Impossible. Goten was still gaping at her, and her dress.
" Goten, what do you want?"
" Is Krillin here? I need to
deliver some papers."
" Well...come in." Marron
invited. Stepping inside the house, as Marron shut the door behind him. They
took seats next to each other on the couch.
"
So, what day is your wedding?" Goten asked.
" Well, the ceremony's on
Friday, at some church my dad wanted. And then on Saturday, it's the reception
as capsule corp. I kind of wanted it at a fancy ballroom restaurant, but Trunks
insisted on having it at capsule Corp. But wouldn't a restaurant be better? I
mean maybe Capsule Corp's ballroom could hold more people, but the restaurant would be more romanic,
right?" Marron couldn't believe she was babbling on like that. But when
she glanced at Goten, she saw in his eyes, that he was really listening to her.
And he really cared about what she was saying. He was so sweet. Goten looked
her straight in the eyes and leaned in a little closer.
"Well I think you should have a
fair say in where your reception will be. Trunks should consider your feelings,
and you should consider his. Capsule Corp isn't a bad place to hold a
reception, but neither is a restaurant." Goten said thoughtfully. Marron
gazed into his rich brown eyes, and she knew she liked him.
" Thanks, Goten. For telling me
how you feel." Marron leaned over and gave him a peck on the cheek. He looked at her, surprised, but he enjoyed
the feeling. He leaned over to her, and gave her a long peck on the cheek.
" That's for caring," he whispered
into her ear. Marron's body tingled. When Goten kissed her again, and she gave
up no resistence, she knew she couldn't go through with the marriage.
Immediately, Goten felt bad for moving
into his best friend's girl.
" I've got to go Marron," he
said as he hurried flew out the door.
Marron
sat in deep thought. What was she going to do about Trunks?
" Trunks, we've got to
talk."
" Marron, you're right. We've
really got to talk."
" I can't go through with this
marriage."
" Me either."
" Don't tell me. You have mixed
feelings for another person?" Marron looked at him hopefully, wishing he
didn't mind her directness. Trunks
stared at her,surprised.
" Yup."
Marron took a deep breath."
Trunks, I think we should split up, until things clear up again, and work
themselves out."
Trunks gazed at her admiringly."
Marron, that is a terrific idea." They sealed the idea with a kiss, which
they realized didn't feel the same anymore. The tingly feeling was gone, in
both of them.
"
Bye, Trunks. Remember, I love you always, even if it's not always that kind of
love."
"Goodbye Marron."
