A/N: Hey everyone! Man, talk about lack of reviews. Only 4, but that's
okay, I know there are a ton of people who read this fic but don't review.
Sometimes I do that as well. For those few who do review, don't worry!
I'm not going to hold the chapter hostage until people review, I'm going to
put out the next chapter like a good author. I hope you like the chapter!
Oh, and just to let you know, this chapter has a lot of conversation in it.
2nd A/N: THANK YOU's to Burned (I did do something in WC! It's somewhere in there!), Lady Tsukya, Starr, and hippiechick. Remember folks, I could thank you as well, but how can I if you don't review? Just a little reminder that's all, I'll shut up now.
Ch. 13 -
As Bra walked in the front door of her room, she saw Marron walk through the connected one from Trunks' room. "Marron! What were you doing in there?!" Bra said trying not to sound to panicky.
"Nothing, I just got back with Trunks."
"Why'd you go through Trunks' room?"
"I don't know, I didn't really think about it. Why? Is something the matter?"
"Well, no, it's just…um…"
"What?"
"Um…"
"Bra, this is going no where."
"Okay okay, it's just I feel bad not going on the tour with you." Bra lied.
"Oh, don't worry about it, I had a great time."
'DAMN!' Bra thought. "So, my brother was great company?"
"Well, not exactly, at some parts he was very annoying but in general, yeah, he was great company."
"What was annoying?" Bra had to remind Marron of his flaws.
"What's with all the questions?"
"Um…nothing, I'm just curious that's all."
"Well, we can do something together tonight. How's that?"
"GREAT! What do you want to do?"
"I don't know. Let's ask Trunks what he wants to do."
"NO!" Bra yelled.
"What?"
"No, let's just make it a girls night."
"A girls night?"
"Yeah, where just us two girls go out and do something while Trunks stays here."
"Hmmm…that does sound like fun…"
"Come on! We'll go right now!" Bra began to push Marron out the front door.
"O-okay, TRUNKS!!!! WE'RE GOING OUT! SEE YA LATER!!!" Marron shouted as Bra pushed her out the door.
Meanwhile…..
Trunks was in his room thinking about his little date with Marron. "Man, why did I even say we couldn't get involved with each other? Why did I have to say that?" Trunks said with frustration. He took off his disguise and laid back on his bed looking back up at the ceiling. He began to get lost in thought until he heard Marron screaming that she and Bra were going out. "Great, Bra decided to have a girls night out, perfect." Trunks took a deep breath and stayed where he was on his bed instead of chasing them. "I'll let Bra have her fun for now."
Trunks looked over at the desk drawer that was next to him and noticed a phone. "Hmm…Maybe I should call mom. If I do, I should use my cell phone." Trunks picked up his cell phone from his pocket and began to hear a ring.
"Hello?"
"Goten? What are you doing over at my house?" Trunks said.
"Trunks! Where are you? You haven't hurt Marron have you?"
"No! Of course not! She's having a blast here. You still didn't answer my question."
"Oh yeah, my mom went over to Bulma's to give her company and she told me to come with her for some weird reason."
"Who knows."
"I'm not sure, but I do get to eat all the food in the world so it can't be that bad. So, where are you?"
"I can't tell you."
"I won't tell anyone, I promise." Goten began to whine.
"Sorry, but we made a deal not to have anymore hostages."
"Hostages? How many more people are with you Trunks?"
"Just Bra and that's it."
"Oh yeah, you should see your mom. She is so mad at you and Bra right now, it's not even funny. Not to mention Vegeta."
"Uh-oh, I forgot about dad when we took Bra along. How's he doing without his 'princess'?"
"He said that once he finds you, you'll be sorry you ever thought of leaving. He's not liking the idea of Bra with you."
"Hehe, that's his problem isn't it?"
"Then I suggest you stay on 'vacation' for a LONG time." Both gave a chuckle and stayed silent.
"Trunks?"
"Yeah man?"
"How's Marron?"
"She's fine, better than fine, she's great." Trunks said dreamily.
"Is she happy?"
"I think so." Goten gave out sigh on the other end. "What's up Goten? Are you mad at me for taking Marron?"
"No, nothing like that. Has she mentioned me?"
"No, not really."
"Did she mention anything about 'us'?"
"What are you talking about?" Trunks began to feel a cringe of jealousy building.
"Didn't she tell you? We went out for two years."
"Two years?! I didn't know you were capable of having a girlfriend that long Goten. How long ago was this?" Trunks went from feeling jealous to feeling mad.
"We broke up four years ago."
"Is that why you're worried about Marron? Because you two used to go out four years ago?"
"That, and I haven't seen her since we broke up."
Trunks smirked and regained his cool. He had a way of doing that with Goten. "No wonder she didn't want you to come with us. I was going to have you join my 'vacation'"
"I don't blame her." Goten sadly said.
"What'd you do to her?" Trunks sounded pissed.
"I was the one who ended it."
"How?"
"I left her when I said I wouldn't. We were going to leave her house for good but then she said she wanted to stay right when we were flying and I told her that she had to choose between her family and me."
"She chose her family?"
"Yeah and I got mad so I dropped her into the ocean."
"You didn't have to do that Goten."
"I couldn't control myself! The only woman who I ever really loved didn't choose me!" Goten yelled into the phone.
Trunks was boiling with rage at this point. He loved her! "If you loved her, you would have respected the choice she made and deal with it."
"You don't understand, you were never around her parents. They're extremely over protected of her."
"She told me. She's told me how her parents are."
"So she doesn't want to go home?"
"No, she still wants to travel with me."
Goten felt a little crushed. "Trunks? Can you promise one thing while you're on this 'vacation'?"
"Sure."
"Promise me won't hurt Marron."
"We already made a deal that we wouldn't get involved with each other."
"Oh?" Goten felt his spirit rise.
"Yeah, why didn't you ever tell me about you and Marron?"
"You never asked."
"Yes I did!"
"When?" Goten argued.
"I remember now, those four years ago when I saw you and you looked like…well….like shit."
"So? Where is this going?"
"I asked you what was wrong and you said, 'I'll tell you later.'"
"Oh yeah, I forgot." On the other side of the phone Goten put his hand behind his head scratching.
"You never did tell me."
"Yeah, it was because of Marron. I loved her so much……I still do I think."
Trunks was silent. He didn't know what to say. Goten began to spoke again. "When I saw her at the party she still looked as beautiful as I remembered. You don't know how badly I wanted to take her away from your grasp into mine Trunks."
"Dude, you should have told me."
"How could I? This is the first time I've talked to you since the party."
Trunks paused and thought for a moment. "You still love her?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Then why don't you meet up with us. I'm sure Marron misses you." Trunks felt his own heart ripping.
"Really?"
"Yeah, the more the merrier right?"
"Okay! Where should we meet? And don't tell Marron, I want to surprise her." Goten said excitedly like a little boy.
"Um…You know where Yuki Village is? It's in Korea. We're in the Dinshi Hotel. Get here at 2 pm tomorrow. Remember, don't give anyone you're location."
"Great, thanks a lot Trunks. Really, thank you, you don't know how much I appreciate this."
"Yeah, just get over here you big dork."
Goten laughed. "Okay, I have to go, I'm still at your house. I'll tell everyone that you and Bra and Marron are all fine."
"Okay, see ya tomorrow Goten."
"Bye Trunks." Trunks hung up on his cell phone and laid back on his bed. "Man, I'm the one that's the dork. Why did I do that? Why didn't Marron tell me about Goten? I would have understood." Trunks got sick of sitting in bed and decided to go out. "I wonder if Marron still loves Goten." Trunks left and began to look for a good restaurant to eat at.
On the other side of town…….
Marron and Bra were both out in a capsule car that Marron had, the one she's always ever since back when she was escaping from the Kami House, driving looking for something to do.
"We could do more shopping Marron. I haven't maxed out Trunks' credit card yet."
"Naw, I don't feel like shopping." Marron sighed and looked out into the busy streets.
"Marron, what's wrong? You in a bad mood makes me in a bad mood." Bra looked sympathetic towards Marron.
Marron turned her attention back at Bra and smiled. "Have you ever been on a date Bra?"
"Sure! Not to many though." Bra said sulkily.
"Well, when Trunks and I went on the tour today, it was my first real date."
Bra went wide eyed and felt the slap of guilt hit her face. "I'm a horrible person!" Bra covered her face and began to cry.
"Bra why are crying? You're anything but a horrible person!" Marron wrapped her arms around Bra comforting her.
"Because *sniff* it's my fault you feel this way." Bra wiped her nose with her sleeve.
"No, no, it's not your fault. I just feel a little down because usually on first dates you kiss the guy but instead I made a deal where I couldn't get involved with him or anyone else on this trip."
Bra shot her head up and said, "A deal? One where you couldn't get involved?"
"That's what I said."
"Y-you mean, we're still going to travel?" Bra began to wipe her eyes.
"Yes sweetie! We made the deal so we can still have a fun trip! Now, you're the one who looks like somethings wrong. Why don't we go shopping to cheer you up?" Marron smiled warmly.
"O-okay, but can I ask you one thing?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Do you like my brother?"
Marron took a deep breath and thought a moment. "Bra, I'd be lying if I said he wasn't a great guy. But things are a little too complicated to have that feeling with him."
"Liar. I see it in your face, just like all the other sluts he's dated. There's something there." Bra continued, "but your face is different, you're afraid to get involved with him."
"You could call it that, fear, but there's more history in it than you know."
"What history? I've never known you to talk to my brother over the years."
"Let's just say that there are other people close to Trunks that I know and it would just be too weird for them if we became something more."
"Who're talking about? There aren't that many people who are close to Trunks his age. The only person that I know of is Goten." Bra looked at Marron who stared straight ahead walking along. When she noticed Marron still silent, she finally figured out why, why it would be too complicated for her and Trunks, why she didn't want Goten to come along, she pointed a finger at Marron and squealed, "You and Goten!!! You two used to be and item!!!" Bra began to giggle very slyly.
"Shut up Bra, the thing Goten and I had was……was….long and deep." Out of all her education and a bachelor's degree at Harvard, the only two words she could think of was long and deep when describing Her and Goten's relationship.
"How long?"
"Two years."
"Wow! No wonder, well it's cool. At least now I know why you can't like my brother. Thanks Marron."
"Hey, no prob, I know how it is to want to know the truth about something."
"Now, let's go shopping!"
"Okay." Marron began to go in the shops with Bra and began to wonder. 'Hmm…I wonder what he's doing right now.'
A/N: And BOOM!!! I won't tell you which guy Marron is thinking about! You'll just have to decide yourself. Um..sorry this chapter is shorter than the last two. I hope you liked the chapter, it's a little rushed but I think it gets the point across. Now Bra and Trunks know the truth! Now Goten is coming up tomorrow and try to win Marron over again! But Trunks loves Marron as well! The humanity! Hopefully I can get the next chapter out by next Friday, I should be able to, I don't have a lot to do next week! Don't forget to review! Oh, and all four that did, You get Girl Scout Cookies! For all the inspiration in the world! See ya!
