Making A Decision
Chapter 1: Trunks
I was just minding my own business, filing papers for Capsule Corp., when Bra came rushing into my office.
"Trunks! Oh my God! Marron's coming home from college! For good! She finally graduated!" she yelled excitedly.
I looked up from my papers. "Are you kidding? Marron couldn't have graduated that quickly," I said.
Bra shoved a piece of paper in my face. "Read."
I looked at the paper. 'Dear Bra,' it said. 'Hi! I finally graduated! I'll be home next week, for good this time! My parents are going to throw me a party three days after I get home, so if you, your parents, and Trunks want to come, I'll fill you in on the details when I get home. Can't wait to see you. Give Trunks and Goten my love. Always, Marron.' I looked up at Bra and smiled. "She's coming home! I don't believe it!"
Bra rolled her eyes. "You are such a lovesick puppy dog sometimes. But we're going to the party, right?"
I jumped up. "Of course. Next week, huh? That only gives me a little bit of time to find the perfect homecoming gift for Marron. Tell Mom I have to take the rest of the day off." I loosened my tie and headed for the office door.
"She's going to be so mad at you, Trunks," Bra warned me.
I shrugged my shoulders. "Oh well. Tell her I'll make it up." And with that, I walked out the door.

I searched the display of bracelets at the jewelry store in the mall. They were all gorgeous, but none of them were Marron. I was so in love with her, I knew whatever I got her had to be absolutely perfect. I moved on to the necklaces. One caught my eye. It had a thin gold chain that sparkled in the light, and off the chain was a small heart pendant with swirled engravings over it.
"Excuse me," I said to a saleswoman behind the counter. "Can I see that necklace please?" I pointed to the chain.
She opened the display case from the back, took out the chain, and held it in front of me. I knew, it was perfect.
"Can I get an engraving on the back?" I asked.
The saleswoman nodded, and handed me a piece of paper. "Just fill this out, and we'll call you when it's ready."
"Thank you," I said, as I filled out the receipt.
