Author`s Note: Hey all! Great big hugs to all of you who reviewed last chapter (and the rest of the story!). Sorry it`s taken me forever to update,but it`s been another bad (think fender bender) and busy (editor workshop) week! But here it is! I hope you all enjoy it!

Marron walked down the semi-lit corridor in silence,Pan at her side. She hadn't answered Trunks yet, she was a little confused and so
had decided she would ask Pan what she thought she should do. She knew exactly what
her best friend would say, though .

She would tell Marron to 'of course go out with him!'. Good old,predictable Pan.

Pan stole a quick glance at Marron,who pretended she hadn`t noticed before they walked into their Mathematics class.

Throughout the entire class period, Marron avoided Pan's gaze, but the black haired girl continued to stare at her .

Pan rolled her eyes. 'Why did she always have to be so damn stubborn?' She made a mental note to ask Marron sometime in the future.

The bell finally rang to signify the end of class, and Pan grabbed her friend's arm before she could rush off. "What's the deal, Mare?" she asked. It sounded like
more of a demand than a question

Marron bit her lip and looked at the ground a moment before meeting Pan`s frustrated stare. "Trunks is still asking me to 'give him a chance'." She sighed."I see him next hour and I still don`t have an answer."

Pan raised her eyebrow. "Is that all? Come on,let`s start walking to class." She linked arms with Marron as they began to walk down the cold corridor. "So why all the headaches? He wants you,and even if you don`t know it,you want him too."

Marron looked at Pan and a small smile tugged at the ends of her lips. "How do you know all of this?"

"It`s my job." Pan smiled. "I`m here to remind you of things that you don`t remember,or that you just haven`t figured out yet."

Marron laughed."What would I do without you?"

"Probably walk into a lot of walls and be mopey all the time from constant headaches and goose eggs."

The two girls began to laugh like ten year olds when they walked through the door of the anatomy class.

"Have fun with Prince Panties" Pan whispered in Marron`s ear before she went and sat down with her group.

Trunks looked at Marron as she sat next to him. She looked tired,but at the same time,beautiful and full of life. She felt his eyes on her and smiled at him.

"Marron?" Trunks asked quietly,as to not attract attention from anyone else.

She looked at him,her large blue eyes sparkling. She was about to answer him when a short go-fer came through the door. He handed a white slip to the instructor and left as quickly and quietly as he had arrived.

"Marron." The instructed looked up for a moment. "You have a visitor here. You`re to go to the office straight away to meet them. It says it`s important." The teacher didn`t sound too happy that one of her star students was leaving to see someone.

Marron looked at Pan and shrugged her shoulders. She had no idea who would be here that would be so important to get her out of class.

She picked up her bag,squeezed Trunks` hand quickly and walked out the door to the office. While she was walking,a horrible thought came to her mind.

'I heard they`re looking for breeders at our school. I hope they don`t look into your or my file.' Pan`s words echoed in Marron`s head, accompanied with a sense a dread.

She walked into the small office and closed the door behind her, then walked up to the front desk. "I got a call slip?" she asked hesitantly

The lady behind the counter took the slip and looked t it a moment. "Ahh yes,Miss Chestnut. You have a visitor in room 6-C. I believe he`s waiting for you rather impatiently,so go along now." The woman said sharply,pointing Marron down another hallway.

The young woman followed the secretary's directions and found room 6-C. She knocked softly and then waited for a few seconds before hearing a soft voice tell her to enter

She walked in and stopped dead upon seeing who her visitor was, struggling to keep from bursting into tears

Trunks,Goten,Pan and Uub walked to the cafeteria after the next class in silence. They still hadn`t seen or heard from Marron and were starting to become quite unnerved.

Trunks felt like punching a wall;Marron had been about to answer him when the damn instructor had ruined everything. Ok.. So it wasn`t the instructor`s fault,but had to have someone to be mad at,and he couldn`t be mad at Marron,so this worked just fine for now.

They walked into the large room which smelt largely of pre-frozen food and body odor,which made Pan`s stomach turn before she had time to adjust to the horrible smell.

Goten`s eyes searched the room for two particular females. Bra`s beaming face came into focus first,so he led the group to where she was. "Hey guys!" She smiled."What`s going on?"

"Have you seen Marron?" Trunks asked sharply. He had also heard rumors about breeders being selected from the academy and he would be damned if Marron was to become one.

Bra shook her head."Nut-uh,I thought she would be with you guys."

"No." Pan mumbled. Her thoughts trailed to her best friend,who she was increasingly worrying about.

"Panny!" A yell sounded from the other side of the cafeteria.

"Mare-chan!"The smile returned to Pan`s face. The group nearly ran to the other side of the room where Marron was sitting.

Trunks nearly had a heart attack: Marron was holding hands with a young man,no older than herself.

"What`s going on here?"

A/N:Well,that`s all for now! Again thanks to Aerith! And again,sorry it took me so long to get this out! It`s my birthday today,so I tried to get this out today (9-16),but I still hafta have it beta-read! I hope it was ok and I hope you all liked it! Please review and tell me what you thought!
