Making A Decision
Chapter 13: Marron
Goten and I walked into Trunks' living room. He had his arm around my shoulder, for support. I didn't know how I was going to tell him I didn't want to be his roommate without giving him an explanation. I thought if I told him, he would think I had no interest in him whatsoever. That was as far from the truth as you could get.
"Okay, what kind of crazy things did Goten plant in your head this time?" Trunks asked.
I laughed. "Actually, Goten was just helping me see things a little bit clearer. Trunks, I really need to get going. I have a lot of unpacking to do, and party plans to ready. Thanks for coming, even if it was just a waste of time. Goten can you take me home?" I asked.
Trunks glared at Goten with his father's eyes, his mother's gaze suddenly gone. "Sure Marron. Bye Bra," Goten walked past Trunks and to the door.
I gave Trunks a quick hug. "Thanks for everything," I whispered. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and followed Goten. Bra nudged me as I walked past and she smiled slightly. I gave her a small smile and left.
~~~
Goten drooped me off in front of my house ten minutes later. "Thanks a lot Goten," I said as he put me down. "I'm really sorry I dragged you out for no reason."
He smiled. "No, thank you. I would have had to spend the night listening to how I should have been like Gohan anyway. My mother just won't quit." He sighed. "Well, I guess I should be going. Call you tomorrow?"
"Please do. Maybe you can help me figure out what I'm going to do. And maybe Trunks will stop looking at you with those scary eyes once I explain what happened."
"Thanks Beautiful. I'll see you later," he waved as he flew off.
I waved then made my way into the house. Mom and Daddy were sitting in the living room 'reading.' I smiled at them. "Hey guys."
Mom put her book down. "Oh, hi Marron. We didn't even hear you come in. It's only seven. Did you find an apartment already?" she asked.
I rolled my eyes. "Actually, I was wondering if I could hang out here for a while. Just until I find a good job. Then I'll be out of here, I promise. Please?" I pleaded, making puppy dog eyes at Daddy.
Daddy looked at Mom. "I'd love to have Marron home again, wouldn't you, Juu?" he asked.
Mom sighed. "Of course. How could a mother say no? Now, I need details about what happened between you and Trunks! If I am correct, wasn't that Goten who brought you home?"
"Yeah. I know you want the whole story, so I'll tell it." I plopped down on the couch between them. "The four of us just left, and Trunks said he had to stop at his apartment for a few minutes. His place is huge, Capsule Corp. gave it to him, and it has three bedrooms and two bedrooms. Well, Bra had to open her big mouth and suggest that I move in with Trunks. He thought it was a good idea, but I kind of like him, so I didn't think it would be that good of a decision. But before I could say anything, Goten asked if I could talk to him in the kitchen. So we're in the kitchen, and Goten tells me something he shouldn't." I paused.
"And?" Mom urged me to continue.
"He told me that Trunks thought it was a good idea because he likes me. So I told Trunks I had to leave, and Goten took me home." I looked at my parents, who were sitting there, watching me intently. Daddy sat up.
"So tomorrow you're going job hunting?" he asked, smiling.
I rolled my eyes. "No Daddy. Tomorrow, I'm going shopping. I have a little money saved up for something to wear on Saturday. Now if you don't mind, I'm going upstairs and calling Uncle Yamcha. I need to make sure he's coming to my party," I said. And so, I stood up and walked upstairs to call my favorite 'uncle'.
~Aw, poor Trunks! Is he completely hurt? Does he think he's lost all chances with Marron? How long will this story be? Find out in the next chapter, Saturday Finally Arrives! Now don't forget to review!~
