Trunks POVMarron plagued my mind for the rest of the party. It turned out the Kuri's left early (for a reason I didn't hear) which made me wonder if she was really upset. But I couldn't think of what to do. I'd probably never see her again. I really wanted to see her. So it worried me. However I didn't let it show. I drank and ate until I had a hang over the next morning. My head was burning. So I drank and ate too much so what? I never do that when I want to. It was 7 AM and I only slept for 4 hours. To make it worse I had to be at my office soon seeing I would be having a meeting with some "essential" business partners . Which just shows how all the fun was squeezed out of that day.
Mum was busy. Though I could tell it was because she was bored. She was still up in the morning fussing over gardeners who had the delight to clean up the back garden. she was on the landing inhaling a cigarette deeply. When she saw me staring at her she dropped it and squashed the cigarette with her heels. I smirked knowing it would take a miracle for my mother to stop her new found habit. She outs stretched her arms yawning deeply.
"You know one day you'll be doing this."
I blinked " Smoking secretly from my children?"
Her frowned said it all. "No. I mean, you organizing an anniversary celebration."
"Oh."
She rattled on about how much patience it took or something and hinted some regrets about what should have happened the night before. I just nodded at usual thinking about something else.
"I'm glad you didn't like Jemima."
I looked at her.
"Ok, I thought you'd to would be great together, but then I talked to her dad and he told me she just got of some steady relationship with some guy. Turns out her dumped her by using his mobile"
"Oh." But then I looked at her hopefully "So does that mean you'll stop trying to set me up?"
She snorted "Hell no."
"Why?"
"You know why. You are so boring!!"
"I…." I couldn't find the words.
"When was the last time you had a girlfriend? 6 or 7 years ago. And you only
had one! What was her name again…Noriko Syki? Yuh that's it you dumped
her. And she was really nice."
"She moved to Finland!"
"Well
you can fly their cant you!?! She's probably married by now while you're here
doing absolutely nothing! Look at Goten! He's younger than you and isn't to
lazy to get a girlfriend."
"Look Goten likes flirting but I don't." I insisted slightly hurt. Why had she brought Goten into this? I already had a headache. My mum wasn't helping. Neither was Goten. He called me at 5 am saying how great his new girlfriend is and how he would shout out her name for the whole world to hear (which was weird seeing he said that about his old girlfriend). I was pretty much pissed. Had he forgotten I hated relationship talk?
Especially his.
Mum was feeling all solemn again. I felt bad. I didn't like her interfering but I didn't want to see her so upset. Her eyes became sad slits. Her eyelashes became moist.
She sniffed "Sometimes...I think your Gay."
My eyes widened . First I was too lazy now I'm gay? I stared. I had just felt bad and now she just accused me of being gay. What was it with my family and insulting me?
"What?"
"It's just well you're so happy with him." She sighed "And you seem really upset anytime Goten gets a new girlfriend." She looked at me her eyes big and blue "Do you fancy him?"
"HELL NO!"
Me. Gay. Goten. Heck no. Hell no. Dende no. Even if I was gay I wouldn't even consider Goten. He'll expect me to call him every five minutes, whispering stuff to me declaring his apparent love for me on a hill top. Thinking of it made me shiver. Some people think it's sweet but to me it's disturbing. Very disturbing. Falling for Goten. Please. I rather have someone who's female thank you. She'd have quiet though(I don't want to Marry my mother), but pretty understanding. I must have frozen for a second. Marron. Maybe she was like that.
But then I would never know would I?
" Your right." I felt it then. It was cold and I felt it more than the last time. What was this thing anyway? I already felt guilty but what did this think symbolise?
My mother jumped "You mean, you really are in love with Goten?"
I frowned "NO."
She gave a sigh of relief. I guess she was as glad as I was about not liking him.
"You where right about something else." I whispered "I am boring."
She gazed at me "Trunks…"
I said nothing else and left. I wouldn't want to talk for a while seeing everything was said then. No drive. Nothing. I'd probably die cold while Goten has a family. Why wasn't I dead now? It sure felt like I was. I had no drive.

5 hours later
*******************
I hated my meeting. These people I was copped up with where mad. One looked like raspberry. The other one couldn't pronounce "r" right. And another thought he was too grand to be in my presence. Literally. Another would be silent but then jump if the raspberry guy spoke. I was glad I was out there. Almost all of them smelt of old spice. I went back to my office only to be greeted by documents which needed to be signed .I groaned. Wasn't spending time with business quacks enough ? So then I sat there with my pen ready for my "exciting" work with papers.
Then Mrs Sai came. "Sir there's a call for you."
I looked up "Who is it?"
"Mr Son Goten. He says it's very important."
Goten. I didn't remember giving him my personal number. But I accepted the call anyway.
"moshi moshi?"
"Trunks you have to come here!!!!!!!!!"
I froze "Is this
Goten?"
"Well duh! I told that Mrs Sauki…"
"Mrs Sai."
"Whatever. Anyway you have to come here."
"Where." I stopped "And why?"
"The West city village and because there are bunnies."
"Bunnies?"
"Yeah and they are very cute!"
"Cute?"
" I know it sounds weird bit trust me you'd be as crazy about them as I am."
"You want me to skip work because of bunnies?!"
There was silence "Yeah."
"Okay see you in five minutes." I dropped the phone without listening to Goten's final words. I opened the window smirking. Forget this stupid desk job. Honestly I would do anything to get out of the office . Even if it's over bunnies. Anyway I just had to get away. Something's just bothered me.
************************
The village was a bit more crowded than it usually was. I had already changed so maybe some people wouldn't recognise me. I once forgot to and in seconds I was surrounded by girls who where crying and fighting each other just to come next to me. When Bra found out she teased me for weeks and my mother was livid. I shivered at that memory. But my goal was to find Goten. For a while I circled round not sure where to go. I already went to the pet shop but Goten was nowhere in site. This was getting really tiring.
Then I heard a squeal. It wasn't loud nor did the person seem in danger because laughter came afterwards. Then came a male voice. It was Goten's. I wasn't sure at first but then I heard it again and it was definite. It came from behind me. I frowned. Was he on a date with his new girl? He could have at least told me and where we where meant to meet. Then it hit me. I dropped the phone on him.
I saw there was a sign saying "Petz Galore" before I entered . Goten had to be there. I couldn't see another one but that was because this place was packed with animals and cages. It wasn't like the other one I was in before. This one seemed to have more room. Then I remembered something. This used to be a shoe store. Bra would drag me here every weekend just to but six new pairs of shoes. But then it somehow got bankrupt and couldn't pay rent. My sister was pretty upset but then she moved on to another store. That was 3 months ago. No wonder I didn't notice it. It was peaceful and had variety of pets. For one they had a variety of puppies such as Dalmatians ,retrievers, and German shepherds. I had to admit they looked adorable. People where even allowed to touch them however had to wash their hands before and after. I did a little browsing, I spotting kittens which looked like tabby's. I watched them for a little while as they played with each other.
"You're obviously a real animal enthusiast. " Said an attendant in a blue cardigan.
I smiled at her softly rubbing my forehead.
"You're really lucky today, you have an opportunity to feed rabbits."
"Really?"
So that's why Goten was so excited. Feeding animals (except himself) was his favourite pastime (apart from spending tome with his girlfriend). She led me to a sector that had hay dispersed on the floor. Goten was crutching feeding a fat baby rabbit. I looked at him grinning. Goten looked up in surprise.
"How long have
you been here?"
"Only a few minutes." I sat down cross legged "Okay hand him over."
This thing was heavier than I thought. It was warm and struggled as Goten gave it to me. It actually hit my cheek with its paw but then again I wasn't going to go ballistic.
You don't know how glad I was about getting my mind occupied. So I couldn't think of my mother or girlfriends or the possible chance of being gay. Finally I was free from it. I could go sparing with Goten afterwards and my day would end perfectly even if had a bad start. Dende was I relieved. I turned to him and that's when I realised he was talking to someone. It seemed to be a female. He was probably flirting with the attendant I saw before. However then I listened again. I wasn't her. I heard this voice before….
And there she was. The one I was thinking of. The one I embarrassed. The one who helped me when I seemed stuck in another trauma saga with my mother.
Marron.
She was smiling while her ponytails hung around her shoulders. She clenched a small rabbit which fur was black over its left eye. Her eyes where sparkling it's usual way and she laughed at another part of Goten's joke. That's when she spotted me. She turned her head and showed me the same smile she showed me the night before. Her eyes where still dazzling and then she spoke in her usual sweet and gentle way.
"Hi Trunks."
And that's when I felt it…
TO BE CONTINUED.

I know it's kinda lame but just read it anyway for my sake. My next chapter
will be much more exciting I promise.
***************
This is something I got about Marron:
The name of Marron gives you a clever, quick, analytical mind, but you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence, and much aloneness because of misunderstandings. Your idealistic and sensitive nature gives you a deep appreciation for the finer things of life and a strong desire to be of service to humanity. There are times when you experience inner turbulence at your inability to say what you mean. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. You find pleasure in literature, in poetry, and in your ideals and will turn to them when you feel you have been misunderstood. You are deeply moved by the beauties of life, especially nature. Because your feelings run deep, you must guard against the ups and downs, being very inspired one minute, then moody, reserved, and depressed the next. Your reactions to people vary according to how you feel. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature. Physical weaknesses would show in your heart, lungs, or bronchial organs.
