CHAPTER FIVE : MR. FIX-IT
For the next week Mirai Trunks felt like he was about to pull his hair out by the roots! Goten skipped half of the training to go out with the girl who he said he was going to break up with. Chibi Trunks just glared angerly at him, especialy when he was helping Pan with something and Pan . . . well if she wasn't trying to corner him in a fight then she'd try to flirt with him. Yesterday she had said that she neded help with her round house kick, he found out it was just an excuse for her to be close to him.
Trunks was flattered but wasn't sure if she was his type. Pan was rough but could be gentle and she was a great fighter, just like he always thought he wanted in a woman.
The only problem was that there was no electrcity between them. Not on M.Trunks half at least. Pan was ready to jump him in the shower! He was glad he was going to Marrons today to help her out.
As M.Trunks threw his tools in his tool box he wondered if she could help him out with Pan. They were semi-close friends. Maybe she could get Pan
off his back for a while.
M.Trunks picked up his box and went outside. C.Trunks and Pan were sparing. Chibbi accualy seemed happy, untill Pan spotted Mirai and grinned and waved.
C.Trunks saw this and punched her to get her attention. She fell over grabbing her cheek.
"OW!" she shouted. "Trunks what did you do that for?"
"I-I'm sorry. I thought you were paying attention." C.Trunks said leaning over to help her up. She slapped his hand away.
"Mirai where are you going?" Pan asked walking up to him.
"Um," Mirai looked over at the other Trunks scowling at him. "over to Marrons. I promised to help her with the nursury." He started to walk off but she stood in front of him.
"Need help?" Pan asked hopefully.
"No," M.trunks said. He looked at Chibbi again. "Why don't you stay here and work some more. You still need practice."
Pans stary eyed expretion changed to one of anger. "FINE!" she shouted in his face. Pan turned and started to walk towards the gravity room. "Come on Trunks." she ordered.
C.Trunks followed her like a puppy into the machine.
Mirai sighed and flew off. About ten minutes later he landed on the sandy beach.
"Krillen?!" Trunks called. He looked around and saw no one in sight. He sensed around and felt a small power inside. He knocked but no one answered.
"Hello?" he said knocking again. Trunks faintly heard some soft of music?
Trunks opened the door and went on inside. He followed the sound upstairs and into a bedroom.
Marron stood there singing loudly while painting the upper walls duck yellow.
She wore headphones and didn't see him so she just sang.
(I remember
When I was a little girl
Living in my own little world
And as it seems, I had my dolls and dreams
Mamma was always there to comfort me
But baby love
There's nothing quiet like it
In the world that I knew of.)
(Before I knew it
I was standing in my teens
Sweet little boy with his strong young arms
Holding me!)
Trunks smiled as he watched her dance a little as she rolled the paint up the wall. He was suprised at how well she sang.
(I remember the first time I felt his kiss.
Oh, he loved to drive me crazy!
And I remember saying that I never felt nothing like this.)
(So I went and asked Mama :Do you know what it means?
She said :You're in love and that's every little girls dream
Baby what you found is every little girls dream)
(So I asked mama: Does love ever last?
she said worry about now and let the future come to pass.
Just understand and enjoy what you've found
And listen to it as long as your heart is sound)
(Ohh love
There's nothing quiet like it in the world
Anyone knows of)
(So there I was
All through my teens
Same little boy with his strong young arms
Holding me!)
(I remember the first time I felt his kiss
Oh, he loved to drive me crazy
And I remember saying I never felt nothing like this)
Marron spun around singing to her music.
(And I remember-AHHHHHHH!!!)
She saw him and screamed.
"How long have you been there?!" She ordered as color came back to her cheeks.
"Long enough to catch your morning show." Trunks said still leaning against the door jam.
"Sorry." Marron said. "Helps pass the time when you're alone."
"No need to be." he said. "You are really amazing."
She felt her face go red and she decided to change the subject. "Ready to get to work?"
"Yes."
Marron showed him to the wallpaper paste and the wallpaper. It was white with duckys all over it. Some wore a sailor hat, another a bonnet, there were even some with ribbons and bow ties.
"We wanted to go with something nuetral. So it can be a boy or girls room." she explained.
Trunks nodded like he understood although he didn't. Why go through so much work for someone who will want it all different after ten years?
They got to work. Marron painted the top half of the room with a milky yellow and Trunks wallpapered the bottom three feet with ducks.
"Say Marron," Trunks asked as he added the finishing touches to the duck paper. "where are your parents?"
"Mom didn't want to be around because of all the fumes and daddy took her out for the day. They went to get the sonogram." Marron talked from the top of a ladder. "It's just to make sure that it won't have any problems during birth."
"Oh." Trunks stood up to admire his work. "can I ask you a question?"
"Sure." Marron said as she reached up on her tip toes to paint the cealing.
"Do you find me attractive?" trunks asked.
"WH-WHAT?!" Marron said spinning around a little too quickly. She lost her balance and the ladder trembled under the shift in weight.
"Who-oa-aaa!" Marron yelled as she fell- right into Trunks arms.
Marron looked around. Trunks held her softly in his arms. "Are you alright?" He asked as he put her down.
"Yeah." she said as she stood up. "Just a little shook up." Marron looked up at him. "What did you ask?"
Trunks looked down at his feet. "Do you find me attractive? I mean not YOU. But do you think that I am a generaly good-looking guy?"
"You really don't know!" Marron said in shock. She thought for sure that he knew at least a little how hot he was.
"Trunks sit down." She said. They sat down on some of the tarps. "Why did you ask me that?"
"Can't you just tell me?" he asked blushing.
"Nope. Answer mine and I'll answer yours." she said crossing her arms stubbornly.
Trunks sighed giving in. "In my time I never had time for dates and just hanging out with friends. All I had was mom and Gohan and when he . . . was gone I had no one my own age to hang out with."
"Oh, Trunks I'm so sorry." she said.
"It's not your fault. It's those monsters-" He stopped remembering that one of those monsters was her mother. "Sorry. I just never had a girlfriend or anything. With Pan flirting with me, and moms friends ooleling me, I wonder if I am well, good looking."
Marron sighed then said, "Trunks, I'm going to be honest." she paused. "You are a total babe. A hunk. FINE. Sexy. A peice of man meat-"
"I get the idea!" Trunks said turning redder then before. "Really?"
She nodded. "Trunks?" she asked. "Is it true that you never had a girlfriend?"
"Yes." Trunks replied. "With the constant training I put myself through I didn't have time for one. Also I did not think it would be fair."
"Fair?"
"If the androids mannaged to kill me I would not want to put my wife through the same greif my mom went through." he said.
Marron looked at him and saw the sadness in his eyes. He never allowed himself to love, she realized. He forced himself to become like his father. Maybe it's not too late.
She leaned over and rested her head on his back. Marron felt him tense but he didn't move. They stayed like that for the longest time. Just her holding him.
