E & E here again, so let's get on with the story.
Chapter XIX - Twisted
Look! I managed to get a note in here. Well, the girls still have control of these chapters, so they're kinda short! Maybe I can get back in here soon...
Marron snuggled farther into her bad, though the insistent ringing of a bell was well on its way to ruining her whole day.
"Go away," she commanded, pulling two pillows over her head.
And, as though some blessed being were looking down upon herm the ringing ceased.
"Thank Dende," she murmured gratefully. Just as the words were leaving her mouth, the pounding began.
"That's IT!" She threw off the covers, and stomped to her front door, wrenching it open. "What," she began," do you want?" She yelled the last part, seeing the man, who was standing before her. "Damnit, Trunks! I was sleeping." She slammed the door in his face, and returned to her room.
Seconds later, he was there with her.
"Are you that anxious to embarrass yourself?" she asked, dropping onto the bed.
"Let's not discuss that."
"What? When Mr.. Happy got a little out of control?"
He growled. "Look, that was an extremely rare occurrence, which will not be repeating itself.
"I wouldn't be so sure, if I were you," the invisible Epica smirked.
Trunks continued, "Anyway, I just came to see why you weren't at work."
"What? You expect me to work?"
"Of course," he sat on her dresser.
"You must be crazy. And don't get comfortable."
"Why not? I like it here."
Marron ignored him, and picked up the phone. She dialed a few numbers, and listened to it ring. "Hello, Bulma? Yeah, I have someone over here, whom you might be interesting in speaking with."
There were a few muffled screeches, as Trunks was able to verify his mother's voice.
Marron held out the receiver. "It's for you."
He stood and backed out of the room. "Alright, I'm going, but I'll be back."
"And I'll be waiting, with the phone."
He turned, and left.
She returned the phone to her ear, and spoke, "Thanks, Bura."
"No problem. I know how annoying my brother is, and considering your current situation, I'm sure things have to be complicated."
"You have no idea."
Epica glanced at Trunks, and down to the list in her hand.
1. Attack him at office.
2. Embarrass the home for infinite losers out of him.
3. Torture him.
4. Turn off coffee maker.
"Hmm, did I remember to get number four?"
Elese shook her head, and pulled the list away from her. "I think that last stunt was enough torture."
"No it wasn't. He needs to pay...dearly."
"Alright, but just remember, no killing."
"Spoil-sport."
"Whatever."
Epica: See, Sister. You're always spoiling the fun.
Elese: Hey, I'm the good one for a reason.
Marron opened her front door and rolled her eyes, as they met with Trunks's for the second time that day. "What now?"
He held up a piece of newspaper for her to inspect.
"It's my add for a roommate."
"Indeed it is. Well, I'm applying."
"What? What for?"
"I want to move out and live here with you."
"Trunks, that is an old ad."
"Not that old."
"Well, I'm turning down your application." She started to close the door, and he put his hand up, preventing it from moving any farther.
"You might want to reconsider that."
"Why?"
"Because," he held up another sheet of paper, "as of 2:15 this afternoon, Capsule Corporation bought out this whole development."
