Ch.10: Anastasia



"Sorry I don't know an Ana and it's not Donovan. You must be mistaking me for another Marissa." Marissa said. Trunks looked at her suspiciously.

~"Donovan? I thought her last name was Tao."~ He told himself. Marissa slid off the tailgate and strode towards her car getting in it and pulling out her cell phone.

"Still in denial." Ana said.

"Over what?" Trunks questioned.

"Her name." Ana said looking at Trunks. "Between her name and her family. Marissa has never really been all there."

"So who are you?" Trunks asked eyeing her partially visible chest.

"I would like it if you would keep your eyes off my breasts." Trunks looked up. "My name is Anastasia Peters-Donovan."

"Trunks Briefs." Trunks held out his hand, Anastasia rolled her eyes and begun to walk away.

"Her address is still 1629 Barrier Drive isn't it?" Anastasia asked.

"Yeah." Trunks answered. Anastasia nodded and walked off.

**Back @ Marissa's house**

A usual race party was occurring at 1629 Barrier Drive. Goten and Marissa were holding a drinking contest between Sade and Travis. The doorbell rung. Marissa sent Travis to the door halfway expecting the people at the door to be the cops. Travis staggered, half drunk to the door and answered it. Outside it was pouring rain and the doorbell ringer was a young woman in a soaked through poet shirt.

"Is Marissa here?" She asked.

"Yo' Marissa there's this really hot chick in a soaked shirt at the door." Travis paused. "She's pretty damn fine." Marissa came in.

"How the hell do you manage to keep Julie? Get your happy butt in the living room." Travis sulked off to the living room. Marissa turned back to the door.

"Hey Marissa, can I come in?" Anastasia asked. Marissa stood back to allow her sister to enter.

"I was supposed to come get you Anastasia. Tell me why you are here?" Marissa demanded. Anastasia adjusted her shirt.

"I thought you might be happy to see me." Anastasia said.

"Believe me Ana I am but you were not supposed to be here for another month."

"I thought I'd surprised you!" Anastasia said holding her arms open. Marissa stubbornly crossed her arms.

"I'm not buying it."

"Alright. I decided to get the implants against my parents' will and they threw me out." Anastasia said.

"Well then. You are not off the hook here Anastasia Roshelle. You are eighteen years old! Do you want to get raped." Anastasia looked at her sister guiltily. Marissa's hazel eyes burned into Anastasia's brown ones.

"I'm sorry."

"Get upstairs. I'll deal with you in a minute." Marissa went into the living room and yelled for everyone's attention. "I'm sorry to cut this short but this party is over. Unless you live here get out of my house." Fortunately the party had been small (about 60 people or so) and everyone except Julie, Jarrod, Marissa, Pan and Connor had left.

"Why'd you cut it short Mom? I was having fun." Connor whined.

"I thought I told you to go to bed." Marissa said. "Go now!" Connor sulked up the stairs and to his room.

"I hope my daughter doesn't turn out that way." Jarrod said.

"It's not Connor you would have to worry about Raquel turning out to be like." Marissa said. "I'd worry about her turning out like my sister."

"What did Ana do this time?" Julie asked.

"Two of her body parts now contain the element silicon." Marissa said.

"My .38 special is under the seat in my car if you need it." Julie told her.

"Doubtful." Marissa headed upstairs. Anastasia was in her bedroom.

"Say it." Anastasia said. "Say I've disgraced you and father and the family name."

"By getting breast implants yes you have."

"What about you Marissa," Anastasia paused, "selling your body. Having a baby alone at fourteen!"

"I'm not perfect bit I have made my amends to him. He left me everything and I was denied several things. You didn't know him."

"You had his money available to you."

"I didn't have shit. Now I want you to understand right now... The CIA is the second most important thing in my life next to my family. You blow my cover and your happy ass will wish that you had been stillborn." Anastasia was intimidated. Her sister was scary.

"You threaten me as if your family didn't mean anything to you." Anastasia whispered. Marissa smirked.

"If I didn't give a shit I wouldn't be telling you that your bedroom is in the attic and the bathroom is across the hall. Breakfast is at ten. If you are late remind yourself next time that there is three other saiyans in this house and that one of them is eating for two."

"I'll go get my stuff." Anastasia began to walk out. "Thanks for letting me stay." Marissa nodded and sat on the edge of her bed placing her head in her hands. She was startled by a door closing and a hand being placed under her chin. Jarrod's gray eyes met Marissa's. He lowered himself to her eye level and pushed her back slightly.

"I love you no matter what." He said claiming her sweet lips in a passionate kiss
