Making A Decision

Chapter 18: Goten

Marron finally called me back. Too bad she woke me up while doing so.

It was eleven AM when the phone next to my bed rang. I rolled over and groaned. It rang three times before I finally picked it up.

"What?" I answered groggily.

"Hey Goten, what got your boxers in a twist?" she asked mocking me from Saturday night.

I laughed. "Hey Beautiful. Since you blew me off so quickly Saturday, I'm guessing a certain Capsule Corp. president was over?" I guessed.

"Haven't you talked to Trunks? We're officially an item and I'm officially his Capsule Corp. secretary," she announced proudly.

I smiled. "Congratulations. So you're working for your boyfriend? How does that work out?" I asked. If I knew Trunks, him and Marron wouldn't get very much work done with her working right outside his door.

Marron laughed. "Well, I haven't started yet. I don't actually start until Wednesday."

"Wednesday? Why not tomorrow?"

She paused. "Um, Trunks and I are taking a day off tomorrow," she admitted quietly.

I laughed. "Yep, that sounds like Trunks alright. So how serious are you guys?"

"Really serious. Hey, 'Ten, do you want to have lunch? I could call Trunks and Bra and you could pick me up and we could meet them somewhere," she suggested.

"Bra?" I asked, sounding a little more excited then I'd intended. Was I falling for my best friend's sister?

She gasped. "Son Goten! You have a crush on Bra! I don't believe it! Does she know?"

"No. And you have to promise me it's going to stay that way. Please Beautiful? Will you promise me that?" I begged.

"Fine 'Ten, but you owe me big now. So you have to come to lunch with me. I'll call Trunks and Bra and you can pick me up at quarter to twelve. No later. Now go take a shower so you look nice for Bra, who you loooooooooove, and meet me here, okay?" she asked.

"You're lucky I like you, Beautiful. Okay, I'm going to take a shower. I'll see you half an hour. Bye babe," I said, hanging up.

Groaning, I rolled out of bed and stood up. Rubbing my eyes, I walked to the bathroom and started a hot shower. It was going to be a long day.

~~~

I landed outside Marron's at quarter to twelve, exactly. "Hey Beautiful, ready to go?" I asked as she walked out the front door wearing a pair of jean shorts and a blue tank top.

She smiled. "Hey 'Ten. Yeah, I'm ready. We're meeting Trunks and Bra at the Satan City Café."

I scooped her up on my arms. "Do you want to take your car?" I asked before I took off.

"Nah, it's okay. I trust you, but if you drop me I'll have to tell Bra you're in love with her."

I laughed. "Oh, darn. Now I can't drop you," I joked.

"Come on, 'Ten. We don't have all day!" she exclaimed.

"Just remember Beautiful, you wanted to go fast," I warned her. Then I took off at almost-top speed, laughing at Marron's screams.

~~~

We landed behind the Satan City Café at noon. I let Marron down gently, and she practically kissed the ground.

"Beautiful, you should wait and kiss Trunks instead of the ground," I laughed.

She smiled. "Good idea, 'Ten."

We strolled around to the front of the brick building and through the open glass. Marron broke out into a huge smile when she spotted Trunks sitting at a table in the back with Bra. Trunks stood up and walked over to Marron.

"Hey Angel," he said, taking her in his arms.

"Hey Trunks," she replied, falling into his chest.

Bra stuck her finger down her throat and started to pretend to gag, crossing her eyes. I laughed. The two lovebirds were starting to kiss, when they looked at us strangely.

"What's so funny?" Trunks asked angrily.

Marron just smirked at me. "Oh, I see what's going on here," she said. "Bra and 'Ten are jealous of us, Trunks. They're just upset because they don't have significant others."

I let out a small sigh of relief. I had thought Marron was going to spill the senzu beans. Thank Dende she didn't.

Trunks smiled at her. "Yeah well. Why wouldn't they be jealous of us, Angel?" he asked, leaning in to kiss her.

Bra motioned for me to come sit next to her. I walked over and took the empty seat next to her. "Hey 'Ten," she said.

"Hey B. Are they going to do this in public all the time?" I asked.

She laughed. "If they are, I think we need to split."

I looked at her. "You want to?"

"Sure. Come on, let's go."

And we left.

~I did not get bored with Trunks and Marron! I'm just going to make the next chapter G/B because they're cute together!~
