Thanks much for the reviews… not much to say, except that I passed my Spanish proficiency today! Yay me! Okay, enjoy and review.

Bulma opened the door at looked softly at my red eyes. "I just ended my marriage," I muttered.

She held out her arms and held me and Kira close. "Here, come in. Tell me what happened," she said soothingly. She led me to the kitchen and took Kira from me so I could hold my head in my hands.

"Goten called today, and I told him I needed an answer now. I wasn't going to wait any longer. That's reasonable, right? I mean, I can't wait forever, can I?" I asked, taking an offered tissue to wipe my eyes. "So he said he didn't know, and I told him if he didn't know, then he really didn't want to come back home, and what was the point of pretending he did. And now I don't want it to be over."

Bulma took my hand. "No, Marron, you did the right thing. It wasn't fair to you or to him to keep a marriage going that didn't look good. Trust me. I know about these things." Her eyes softened. "Trunks is upstairs getting some things out of his old room. You can go find him, I'll watch Kira for you."

I smiled gratefully. "Thanks Bulma. I just didn't want to go bother my parents. They've had Kira all day and--"

"I understand. Bra's up there, too, if you want to talk to another girl. And you won't have to worry about Vegeta, he's over at Goku's sparring or something," she said with a wave of her hand. "It'll get easier, Marron, I promise."

"I really appreciate that. I just need to talk to Trunks, you know?"

Bulma nodded and turned her attention to Kira.

I slowly climbed the stairs and looked around. Everything was as it should have been. I heard Bra's stereo on in her room and her singing along loudly and off-key. Trunks was yelling at her to turn her music down and stop singing. Yes, the Briefs siblings were fighting again.

I couldn't help but smile inwardly as I stood in Trunks' doorway. He was sitting on the floor in front of his closet, throwing stuff into boxes. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and for a second, I almost lost it. No matter how many times you see Trunks without a shirt, it's still absolutely wow.

"Trunks," I whispered.

He turned around and smiled. "Hey Mazzie. What's the matter?"

I ran into the bedroom and buried my face in his chest. "It's over Trunks. I ended it today. It's over," I sobbed.

"What do you mean it's over? You told him you didn't want to be married to him anymore?" he asked. I didn't want to say anything, but I couldn't help but hear a glimmer of hope in his voice.

I looked up at him. (Why was I so damned short?) I told him what happened on the phone and what Goten had told me. "I just didn't know what else to do. I didn't want to sit around and wait forever for Goten to make up his mind. That's not what I want to do with my life. Especially now that I have Kira to focus on. But I'm just afraid that he's going to leave Kira and she'll never know him."

Trunks smiled gently and stroked my hair. "You're right. If he wasn't going to come home to you, for you, then why should you want to be with him? And my offer still stands. I want to help you out with Kira. I don't care what I have to do, money, babysitting, whatever. I want to help you."

"I know you do. But I have to do this on my own. I can't depend on you for everything, even though I really appreciate it. But I will take you up on the babysitting offer. I want to see the almighty president change a diaper," I joked through tears.

He laughed. "You need a tissue. And I don't have a shirt you can wipe your nose on."

I eyed him suspiciously. "Yeah, what's with that? Where's you shirt, Briefs?" I asked.

"I tired to change out of my suit, but Mom saw I had some kind of stain on the t-shirt I kept in my office and took it down to the laundry room for washing. So I'm stuck here with no shirt," he said, shrugging his shoulders. "So who has a better chest, me or Goten?"

I laughed and pretended to think. "Hmmm. That's definitely a tough one. But I'm going to go with Goten. I am in love with him, after all."

"You're still in love with him?"

"Of course. It's not like we've been apart for that long. I don't think I'll never not be in love with him." And here we go again. I hope I'm not going to get pregnant this time, I thought to myself sarcastically.

Trunks pulled me into a strong hug. "But will you ever date again? I mean, will you ever find someone else?" he asked.

I should've just said no and changed the topic. Ha. Me and my big fat mouth. "I'm not sure. Who's asking?"

"I have to tell you the truth, Marron," he sighed. He let go of me and sat down on the floor. I sat down in front of him. "When you kissed me that night, and I didn't stop you, I didn't for two reasons. One, was that I was still in love with you, and two, I wanted to do it. I just needed to have you with me. I never thought it would ruin your marriage."

I furrowed my brow and sat there in silence. And that's when I really looked at Trunks. I don't know if you've ever really looked at someone before, but it's kind of weird. You see things you've never really noticed before. Like I noticed that Trunks has this little scar on the top of his nose. And I wondered where he got it from, and why hadn't I noticed it before? That's also when I lost my mind.

I leaned forward and firmly planted my lips on Trunks'. He was surprised at first, but then he got the general idea and kissed me right back.

He pulled away first. "No, I don't want you to kiss me just because I told you that. I want you to kiss me because you want to kiss me." He tipped his head to the side. "Why did you kiss me?"

"I-I don't know. But I think I wanted to." And I kissed him again.

We did not end up sleeping together. We just had those two little kisses and then I took Kira home. I did not want to make the same mistake as I did last time. But since me and Goten were over, maybe I wasn't making a mistake…

Trunks had been my best guy friend ever since we were little. I thought I was in love with him, maybe I was. But I wanted to end it after he told me he didn't want to move on and eventually get married. But when I kissed him… it was like everything I had ever felt for him was back.

I was crazy.
