Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ! Nuff said!

To Reviewers:

aqua-illusion: Hee hee. Well, let's find out if you're right. All answers are in this chapter.(

Lily: Hurry Lily! I NEED Lonely Love! This is a BIG cliffhanger, so if I don't get a chapter you don't either! =P

Winged Angel: TELL ME!!! I must know.

Aerith Gainsborough: If you have any questions...most likely this chapter will answer them...there's probably only 2 question that I can think of that this chapter won't answer.

mason: Lol. That's ok. ^.^ I hope ya like this chapter ...I do! MUHAHAHAHA!

O.O Wow! How long has it been? A month or so? Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, but this chapter is VERY important so it took a lot of planning time. If you want to know the (pathetic) truth...I've been planning this chapter (and the next chapter) since I started the fic. THAT'S how important this chapter (and the next chapter) is! But sadly...I'm still not sure if I know exactly what I'm going to put on here. So I'll do the most dangerous thing ever...write whatever comes to my pathetic, sick, little mind. So...here we go! ^.^

Chapter 16: The Declaration of Love

***Next Day***

Lily pulled the car up to the front of Capsule Corporation and turned and looked at Goten in the passenger's seat.

Goten looked hard at the building in front of him. Wondering what was the right thing to do? He had decided that if Trunk wanted to screw up his life with Marron that he could. But one little thing was tearing Goten apart.

"Well..." said Lily when she noticed that Goten wasn't planning on opening the door anytime soon.

"I can't do this, Lily. He doesn't need to know. It would..."

"Oh come on Goten!" yelled Lily. "How hard is it to tell him? I mean how close are you two? You should be able to tell him stuff like this with out him freaking out and trying to ripe you apart."

"But..."

"Goten, I swear if you don't get out of this car I will maul you with the steering wheel and throw you out! You pulled me out of work for this. Burned is going to kill me if I don't get that essay in pronto (heehee a little to late now). SO GO!" said Lily as calm as she could.

Goten slowly pulled the door handle back and then pushed the door forward. The door opened and the cool summer air rushed into the car.

"Good boy...now get out!" said Lily sounding more impatient.

Goten got out of the car and slammed the door. Mixed with emotions of anger towards Lily and guilt for what he was about to revile to his best friend.

'Drama queen.' thought Lily as she drove off.

***///***

"Yes, mom." said Trunks. He anxiously prepared to push the button and hang up on his ranting mother.

"TRUNKS! I SWEAR IF I FIND OUT YOU..."

Trunks's hand "slipped" and the cord was ripped out of the wall. He laughed to himself as he thought of how pissed his mother was at that moment. He flopped down in his over-sized, black chair behind his desk. His mother would go complain to his father who'd prolly fly down there and cuss him out because the 'onna' bitched at him.

There was a soft, yet un-ignorable knock at his door.

"Come in." he said trying not to sound to aggravated.

The secretary poked her head in and smiled. "Mr. Brief, you have a visitor. I tried to call you, but your line was disconnected." She said sweetly. Trunks scooted the chair over to cover up the small (yet noticeable) hole in the wall.

"Let 'em in and get that phone thing checked out. I don't know what could have happened." He said with a smile. The secretary opened the door all the way and let Goten in.

"Yes, sir! I'll get it checked out right away." She then turned and quickly left, closing the door behind herself.

"Hey Goten." said Trunks relieved that it wasn't Pan. Goten looked around at the office as if it was the first time he'd been there.

"You can sit if you want."

Goten rolled his eyes.

"Good to know." He said sarcastically.

"What's the matter with you?" asked Trunks getting a little fed up with Goten, even though he just got there.

Goten looked at the floor for a second then back at his friend.

"Nothing. Sorry about that. I don't know what got into me." said Goten.

By this point Trunks was a little freaked out by Goten's sudden mood swing, but said it was ok. Goten walked over to a chair, sitting in front of Trunks's desk, and sat down.

"I need to talk to you about Marron." said Goten.

"That's right! I wanted to tell you my new idea. I decided that I was gonna make up a new safer, more truthful lie."

"What?!"

"I know it sounds dumb. But when you hear it you'll agree that it's the best decision I've made ever since I met her."

"Trunks..."

"I'm serious. I'm gonna tell her that my nickname is Goten and that my real name is Trunks Brief. And that I told her that because at that time people called me that, but now everyone's calling me Trunks. So she should start calling me that because we know each other better. See? Damn I'm good!"

"Trunks I need..."

"Then I'll tell her my real job is at Capsule Corp. and that I only lied to her because I was afraid she might be one of those girls who date for money...but, again, now that we know each other better, I thought that she should know."

"Trunks, wait I..."

"Wait Goten! This is the best part. I'm going to tell her how I feel about her and let her meet my parents. I mean she's asked about them enough, why not? Oh and by parents I mean Bulma of course. Heaven forbidden she meets Vegeta."

"What?!"

Trunks looked at Goten curiously.

"What do you mean 'what'?"

"What do you mean you're gonna tell her how you feel about her? You don't feel anything for her." yelled Goten.

"Yes I do! I practically love her..."

"Yeah, her body. You don't care about her. That's your problem! You can't ever stay focused on anything when it comes to girls. Once you have sex you'll just break her heart by dumping her. Then you'll move on." yelled Goten as he stood up.

"What the fuck?!" Trunks yelled back. "Why do you care?!"

"...because..." Goten said softly.

"Because what?!" yelled Trunks.

"BECAUSE I LOVE HER!!!"
Tok-chan: Tsk, tsk Tokya! Watch your language! *snickers*

Guy In White Coats #1: *talking to walkie-talkie* She's talking to herself again guys.

*room fills up with hundreds of guys in white coats and stun guns*

Tok-chan: O.O Help!

****///****

Anyway, I know I'm a BAD girl! I feel that love was the right word for Goten to say because...well you find out in the next chapter...or will you? MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Review and you MIGHT find out! Ok.let me read over this chapter and then I'll post it! Lol. ^.^

REVIEW + MONEY BY MAIL + LONELY LOVE (Chapter 20) = CHAPTER 17!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! *looks around at guys in white* DARN IT!!!

***///***

To Lily:

Obviously threatening you Lily, doesn't work! *eye twitches* So I guess I'll just have to lock you in the 'Dende Closet' with a computer and bowl of rice until you post another chapter!

Mirai Vegeta: Isn't that threatening her?

SHUT UP MIRAI!!!

Come on Lily...*draws big puppy eyes on a piece of paper*...I updated...it's only fair that you do too.

*whispers to Mirai* Get the closet ready.

***///***

To Everyone: Ok...well I'm outta here! But before I go...! I was wondering who all thought (or even a second) that Goten had feelings towards Trunks and not Marron? *counts hands* Ok. Now who knew before hand that Goten had feeling for Marron? DON'T LIE!!! It doesn't make you cool. ^.^ *counts hands* Ok! Thanx! NOW REVIEW!!! ^.^ Bye!
