I continued to beat the punching bag, and finally felt satisfied after about half an hour. My sensitive ears picked up the sounds of footsteps. I panicked and my first thought was to turn off the gravity. So I lunged forward and turned it off. There was a knock on the door and then it opened. There stood Trunks, I was nervous. I bet guilt was written all over my face. "Hey Mar, what're you doing here?" he asked while trying to stifle a yawn. Even now he was cute. I searched my head for an excuse. "I, uh.. I wanted to see this place for myself and decided to get our some of my extra energy." I said and tried to cover up my nervousness with a smile. "Oh.. ok.." He said, sounding a little confused. "Want to teach me how to spar?" I said trying to get him to diverge his attention, and spend some time with him. "Ok," He said a little unsure, and got into stance. I acted clueless and screwed up on purpose a couple of times. After we were done we sat on the floor, fully awake now he asked me what I was thinking about. "I don't know, stuff." I said and laid down; resting my head on his lap. "So then tell me why you wanted me to teach you how to spar." He said twirling a strand of my hair between his fingers. "I don't know. Hey Trunks can I tell you something." I asked him, looking up into his eyes. "Sure anything." He said giving me a reassuring look. "Well, you see.. I umm,.." But that's when I felt that specific something inside of me, telling me not to. Or was it not to just yet. I sighed. "I'm pregnant.." I said. "WHAT?! Holy cr-" I cut him off with my laugh. And he realized that I was kidding. Works like a charm every time.
After Trunks screaming so loud it literally woke everyone up. They all rushed in here, Bra, Goten, and Pan all transformed into super saiyan; and Uubu powered up. "What happened?!" Goten asked panicked. We all laughed and when the four of them realized that nothing was wrong they powered down; and took a seat next to us. "So what cause Trunks to yell out and wake us up?" Pan asked. "Nothing really, I just told him that I was pregnant." I said, and before I could tell then that I was only joking around they all attacked me. "What were you thinking?!" Uubu yelled. "Who's the bastard?!" Goten looked like he was going to kill someone. "If it was Trunks you can bet he's going to die!" Pan said threatening Trunks. "Dear God Marron! What the fuck?!" Bra said anguished. Trunks and I just looked at each other terrified of our friends. "Um guys." I cut in cringing away from everyone, "I was just kidding though." They all looked at me and fell down.
Now that everyone was awake at three in the morning we just sat there. "Hey what were you guys doing up anyway?" Bra asked us. "Oh I found her in here." Trunks said, and then they all looked to me with a confused look on their face. " I couldn't sleep, and then I asked Trunks to teach me to spar." I said looking to the floor to avoid everyone's gaze. They all shrugged their shoulders and we went back to doing nothing. "Let's go to my 'lair'." Bra said and tried to stand up but fell down on top of Goten. "Sorry I guess my legs aren't working." She said. Goten seeing an opportunity took advantage of this and picked her up. "No problem, I'll just carry you." He said grinning at her. She kissed him on the tip of his nose, and wrapped her arms around his neck. We followed then down into 'Bra's Lair'. I sat a little further from Trunks than necessary, I didn't want to get too close to him. I thought about what I was doing, and hated myself for it.
I always did this! Every single time I started to trust someone, I would always distance myself. I hated myself at these times; the ones where I could detect my problems, but never do anything about it. I also knew the reasons for these insecurities, and though I trusted my friends, they were just about the only ones that I trusted. And if Trunks and I were to go to the next level, we wouldn't be friends anymore; we would be more. At that moment I think Trunks knew that I felt distraught. So he held my hand and rubbed my back, coaxing me a little. I smiled and leaned on him. I was starting to feel a little weird around him, but pushed all of those feelings aside. It was the least I could do for him. When I saw that Bra and Pan went to the kitchen to make some few dozen sandwiches, it was only fair that I helped out.
In the middle of making sandwiches I decided that I really should tell someone about my inward struggle. I had to get it out, and it was better if it were to them instead of Trunks. "Guys, if I tell you something, will you promise not to tell anyone else?" I asked them. "Of course Mar, you don't need to ask us." Pan said while tipping her head back and dropping a slice of turkey into her mouth. "Well, as you can see things are going great between me and Trunks." I paused to see their reactions, they were smiling and looking, for the most part happy. So I continued "But there's this itsy-bitsy thing." I said and tried to find the right words. "Mar, what is it?" Bra asked putting down the bread that she held in her hands. Pan stopped what she was doing and we all sat down on the stools. They gave me their full attention, no longer looking happy; they now looked confused and a little worried. "I'm having a problem with.. trusting him." I said hoping that it made sense. "What I mean is.. well I guess I'll have to tell you what happened before, and why I don't trust him." I took in a deep breath and began my explanation. "You see, to sum it up I don't trust any guy that I'm 'involved' with because of a few things. It's be cause I almost got raped once, and I got cheated on like two to three times." There were shocked expressions on their faces. But I continued. "I almost got raped by that ass hole that we used to be friends with, Joe. But luckily there was a steel pipe next to me, so I bashed him over the head with that. And I got cheated on by Aaron and Dave, and while Alex and I were 'talking' he asks out that whore Annie all of a sudden." I said with my anger building up. "Oh wow, Mar we had no idea! Did you?" Pan asked Bra who shook her head and looked like she felt my pain. "Well, that's why I find it hard to trust people." I said and then immediately corrected myself. "I mean I trust you guys, but I just find it hard to trust guys that I'm involved with. It's just that one title that makes me feel uncomfortable. So as you can guess, that means Trunks." I said hanging my head low and sighed.
After awhile of thinking by myself I realized that Bra and Pan had rejoined our group. Was I really that deep in thought. I called them back over. "Do you think I should tell him?" I asked them. "Yes." Was their only reply, and I guess they were right, I owed it to Trunks. "Maybe tomorrow or something." I said and went back to the group trying to sound and act normal. Trunks pulled me onto his laps and I felt a little more uncomfortable and made up a lame excuse about how I had to go to the bathroom. He could see right through it. When I came out of the bathroom I made a quick pit stop to tell everyone that I had a headache and I needed to go to sleep. And bolted to the room. I climbed into the bed and just sat there with my teddy bear that was waiting patiently for me. I held it until I fell asleep; surprisingly it made me feel better. I woke up from the shaking of the bed; as everyone got in, but I kept my eyes closed. And then they started talking. "Hey guys, do you know what's up with Mar, she's been acting a little weird don't you think?" He asked, while he held onto my waist; I could feel hi m looking down on me. "Nope." Pan said. I smiled inwardly, and heard him sigh. I snuggled up to him and hugged him back. He could practically hear feel him smiling. "Hey want to hear something funny?" he asked everyone. "What?" Goten asked for us. "At first I thought that Marron was The Black Cat." He said and everybody laughed, and then he shushed them all because I was sleeping. I smiled a bit and then fell back to sleep.
Once again I was the first one to wake up, and I found Uncle Yamcha in the kitchen. "You know I never see you around anymore." I said walking towards him; he gave me a hug. "I'm sorry, but the girl that you hooked me up with, she's really something." Ha said and I gave him a questioning look. And he answered my question for me. "Both ways." He said with a wink. We laughed and I made him some scrambled eggs and sausages. "Why don't you hang out with us today." I offered him. "Sure, but why?" He asked, I laughed at the fact that he knew me so well. I laughed a little first. "Because I told Bra and Pan about the whole trust thing, and I want to tell him, but I can't. And I want you to be there for me, just in case I need you." I said the last part kind of quietly. "No problem kid." He said and hugged me. We talked about random stuff and after he was done with his breakfast he washed his plate and utensils. Then he helped me with the breakfast making for everyone. He burnt the eggs that he tried scrambling, so I took over that job. Trunks was the first to come downstairs, and he came over to me, and slid his arms around my waist, and rested his chin on my shoulders. "Hope you don't mind Yamcha." He said "Nope, I'm just her uncle, not her parents." He said and we smiled at each other, "Oh, hey lets have a barbecue today!" Uncle Yamcha suggested. "Hey! There's an idea! I'll need to go shopping for food.' I told Uncle Yamcha and understood what I meant in saying so. What I actually meant was that I wanted him to go with me, so that we could talk. "Ok, I'll come." He said nonchalantly.
Trunks sat at the table eating the scrambled eggs that I made; if Uncle Yamcha had made it who knows if he had even lived past the first bite. Everyone eventually came downstairs and I asked Pan and Bra to join Uncle Yamcha and I to the super market; and they agreed to tag along. "Uncle Yamcha, why don't you invite what's her face." I said, he playfully glared at me. "Her name is Jade, and I was thinking about it." he said and picked up a newspaper and started reading it. After I was done with everything I went and changed into a pale pink sundress, and slipped on my white sandals. I carried a small white purse with my money and the capsule for my outfit in it. I skipped downstairs and noticed that I had Trunks' attention I smiled at him. "You like?" I asked and he just nodded and pulled me onto his lap. I waited for Pan and Bra to change; and got up to talk with Uncle Yamcha. "I think I need a new outfit." I told him, emphasizing on the 'outfit'. He nodded, understanding what I was trying to tell him. "Tell Bra and Pan to meet us at the supermarket." Uncle Yamcha told the guys and we walked out and flew to the direction of the place where we got my first costume.
We landed and went into the store. It smelled like weed and alcohol. We looked for awhile until I found the perfect one. It was black, but it was a two piece outfit. It was a very short skirt, with pants attached, what were they called again? Oh yea, skorts. And the top was a zip up one, and had no sleeves. This one wasn't shiny and plastic like, which was good, just incase I needed to hide in the shadows. If I was lucky enough I could have my own line of comics. Was all of this getting to my head? I hope not. We went to the register, and the person working the cashier looked wasted. So it probably didn't matter if they saw the outfit, they probably wouldn't even realize.
I stuffed the new outfit into a capsule and we flew to the supermarket. We looked in the frozen meat section and found Pan and Bra throwing a couple packs of hot dogs into the cart. I saw a girl standing behind them and noticed that it was Paris who was with them! "Hey guys!" I said. "Hey Mar, we invited Paris to come, is that ok with you guys?" Pan asked Uncle Yamcha and I, we nodded our heads and we all went over to the bread section. We picked out a couple of hot dog buns and put them in the cart. Paris' cell phone rang and she excused herself. I took this opportunity to ask for their opinions about the situation. They all told me to only do what I felt I should do. "But remember you should tell him." Bra told me. "Yea, if you need help we're all here for you." Pan said reassuringly. That's what I needed, reassurance; and I turned to Uncle Yamcha to look for it, he nodded, agreeing to everything the other two have said. This was going to be hardest thing I ever did.
