This chapter is really short, but it has a ton of significance to the story. It's in Trunks' POV and really it only tells his feelings for Marron. It's kind of like a diary entry, so this chapter isn't really a big deal. It could have been used as a prologue. Oh well. But you should read it anyway!

Making A Decision

Chapter 15: Trunks

Marron. I remember the first time I ever met her. It was at the World Martial Arts Tournament, the one where I was named junior champion. I was only eight, and she was three. Back then, she was just a pudgy little noseless girl. Growing up, one of my favorite pastimes was terrorizing the little girl. But Goten and I knew our limits. If we upset her bad enough, she would tell her mother. Now, Goten and I were anything but weaklings back then, but Juu was, and still is, very protective of her only daughter. You mess with Marron, and you just might wind up dead.

I remember one year, I think I was thirteen, my mom had a party. Marron, who was about eight at the time, came with her parents and was hanging out with a seven year old Bra and a three year old Pan. Goten and were just so mature back then, so we had to play a prank on the three girls.

We sat there for about an hour, watching their every move. Finally, we devised a plan: To drop water balloons on them from an elevated height. The only thing we had to work on was Dad and Juu. Both of them do have something in common besides being enemies. They are both overprotective of their daughters.

Anyway, Goten and I filled a bucket full of water balloons and silently flew up in the tree they were sitting against. Bra and Pan couldn't sense ki yet, so it was easier to go unnoticed. We took the water balloons and I threw the first one. It went really fast, so those three never saw it coming. It hit Marron on top of her head, drenching her entire head and shoulders. Me and Goten laughed and kept bombing them. When the three of them were drenched, Bra said the words we were fearing.

"Trunks, I'm telling Daddy!"

We got in so much trouble for that one.

Then there was the time in high school where Goten, Marron and I silly-stringed a teacher's car. The teacher flunked Marron for no good reason, so we got back at him. It was a shame, because it was such a nice car. We would have got suspended, but Juu came in and gave the principal a concussion. He didn't remember much after that, except never to mess with us again.

When Marron left for college, Krillin and Juu threw her a party, and I never showed up. By then, I was totally in love with her, so I thought it would be real slick to call her instead. So that night, I called her up and we talked until two in the morning. It was one of those phone conversations you don't want to end. We talked about everything from parents to love lives and everything in between.

I know it was wrong of me not to go to her home-coming party, but what needed to be said was written. And, she got the necklace. I think I'll call her now. The party should be over.

~Like I said before, it wasn't nothing that was truly important. But it kind of reflected where the story came from and the basis of Trunks and Marron's relationship. But review it anyway!~
