Episode 03: Unbelievable, A Single Kiss to Change a Lifetime

________________________________________________________________________

I shook my head "No, why would you say that?"

"Well you're so concerned about what kind of dream he had."

"Spare me. He's just a friend, sometimes a bit protective, but just a friend, in fact, he kind of reminds me of you"

"What? You must be talking about someone else" he crosses his arms and lifts his head up high in pride "because I'm as cool as you can get!"

WHAT? I let out a small laugh, how goofy can my father get? "right dad"

" Anyway I'm going to finish helping out your mom, you know how she is if she doesn't have her coolest husband around to help her out."

I rolled my eyes and smiled, I guess that just proves more of how much goofier he CAN get

"Whatever dad…" Just then I looked to my left and noticed the picture of me with me mom and dad when I was still a chibi, then it occurred to me I blew my bangs once as I continue thinking in my room about what my father once told me about how he met my mother. Hmm…one kiss changed his life, geez and to think I almost kissed Trunks, hmm… would we be together after that? No, no, no what am I talking about he's just too shy when it comes to the opposite sex, he needs to be more like Goten and take more women out on dates, he needs to find himself a girl that's what he needs. Someone who cares about him not his family wealth, someone who HE can protect instead of me, someone who he ca-

Once again I was interrupted by my father, man doesn't he ever knock? How rude.

"Hey Marron"

"Is it time to eat?"

"Well it would be if we had some rice. I'm going in to town to go buy some, want to go? We can stop by if you want to see Bra and Trunks. I can drop you off there if you want to be alone with him,"

He laughed evilly after those words. How strange first he's afraid of me being with Trunks now he's practically throwing me to him. MAN, I hate whenever ANYONE asked a question that had any relation to if I liked Trunks or not, it's so annoying! How many times do I have to tell everyone before it sinks into their thick skulls I ONLY THINK OF HIM AS A FRIEND! Well best friend actually, and everyday at lunch we hung out unless I got called to go to work, but sometimes people would get the wrong idea and ask questions as if we WERE a couple, I mean come on give me a break people!

"Dad I see him everyday why would I want to see him now?"

"I was kidding, I was just suggesting to go with me so you can give him back his jacket. So are you in?"

"Sure"

---------------------------------------

On the way to the market my father and I were silent for about the first 5-10 minutes until he broke the ice with yet another RIDICULOUS question

"so between you and me the truth, do you have feelings for Trunks?"

I looked at him with confusion, I thought we were done talking about Trunks, oh well if he's going to keep asking "the truth?"

"Yes Marron the truth."

"NO Daddy, ok I don't have feelings for Trunks so stop asking!"

Whoops, did I just yell? I didn't really mean to, but I mean come on, he was practically calling out for it. He's asked this question before why must we bring it up again?

"Whoa! Hey hey now I'll stop asking"

"Look I care about him but that doesn't mean I like him in that way!"

"Yeah got it, you know it wouldn't surprise me if you two DID get together"

WHAT? Again he's throwing me into that ditch with Trunks. Make up your mind do you or do you NOT want me to be with Trunks? "Why do you say that?"

"You three have been friends since you were kids. You, Goten, and Trunks, the three musketeers we used to call you guys, but over the years you and Trunks seemed to be the ones who seemed to become closer than you and Goten"

Whoa, I guess it is true Trunks and I have always had some sort of closeness as her father continued

"I always thought you and Goten would be the one who became closer. Since Goku and I have been best friends since we were 12 or 13. Now it just seems like all I see is you and Trunks hanging out"

"Ever since Goten started dating I never get to see him as much as I used to. It was him and Trunks who were always watching me and protecting me, but now its just Trunks"

"Yeah I guess you're right"

----------------------------------

After we picked up the rice we headed to the Brief's house

"So hey who was the new guy you were talking to? Don't tell me he's your Boyfriend?"

"No just another boy"

"And what did this boy want?"

"He was asking me to go to a party with him and before I could answer you showed up"

"And if I didn't show up?"

"I would've said no anyways dad"

"Oh sure sweetie, you just didn't want to go with anyone unless it was Trunks huh?"

I shut my eyes as I shook my head in annoyance and smiled knowing my father just wouldn't stop asking "You won't stop until I admit to it won't you?"

He gave me one of those big smiles letting me know that he wouldn't stop till he got to the bottom of the pit! "So then you do don't you?"

I just look at him very calmly might I add "Dad I don't like him, so can you stop asking me, I don't like him, period"

"Right, whatever you say" Why doesn't he believe me? I've told him repeatedly over and over, I don't like him. Oh well, there's no use in me trying to fight with him over this…so I'll just ignore every time he asks from now on.

--------------------------------------

At the Brief's Location:

Vegeta is in the gravity room training as usual. Bulma is trying to develop a new creation for the company. Goten had come over and is on the phone trying to make a date. Bra and Trunks are in Trunks' room creating something.

Trunks: We're sitting on the floor, my sister and I, I watch her as she is creating something out of a watch that I had asked her to do as a present for Marron's 21st birthday in less than 2 weeks

---------------------------------------

Marron: My father and I finally arrived at Capsule Corp. I get out of the car and take Trunks' jacket as we walk toward the door.

----------------------------------------

Inside the house:

Goten: Trying to finish up the deal here "yeah so how about tomorrow?… Around 3?…Me….um how about 5?…"

*DING*DING* DING*

Vegeta yelled at me "Goten get off the phone and answer that door!"

Vegeta is sitting about 5-10 feet from the door drinking some water and wiping his face with a towel from training. I'm about 10 feet from Vegeta, why can't he answer the door? Oh well I know better than to argue with Vegeta "hey I have to go I'll call you back ok…"

*DING*DING* DING*

I was just finishing up till he yelled at me again "well boy don't just sit there ANSWER THE DOOR!"

After I hang up the phone I rush to the door and open it, to my surprise "oh hey Krillin… Marron come on in"

Krillin and Marron enter

Krillin notices Vegeta has been training as usual "Hey Vegeta working up a sweat again huh?"

Annoyed as always "Shut up boy!"

Marron kindly greets him "Afternoon "

Vegeta just nods, Krillin just takes a seat on the other end of the couch

Then Marron spoke to me "hey Goten it's nice to see you again"

I gave her a little hug to welcome her

"Likewise"

"Why are you here? I thought you were with Paris?"

"I was but she's doing an interview right now, so why did you two stop by?"

"Trunks left his jacket at my house we're just here to drop it off, is he here by any chance?"

"Yeah he's working with Bra on something c'mon I'll escort you to where they are"

We begin walking up the stairs and I start making conversation "So Trunks' was at your house today huh?"

"Yeah he was in a rush when he left that he forgot his jacket"

"He was suppose to be here after work and since Paris is doing an interview, I decided to stop by but then Bra got mad because she said she was waiting too long and could've been shopping right now, but what took so long? What happened?"

"Nothing went to lunch, we went to his place so he could change, he came over because he didn't want to go back to work and fell asleep. After I told him Bra called he basically disappeared like a snowflake in my hand"

"Like a snowflake in my hand" I said teasing her, a snowflake? Where is she getting all this? I guess I shouldn't have said that because she slapped my shoulder after that

 "Shut up, he just left so quick I don't even think I saw him leave."

 "They're both in here"

Well there we were in front of Trunks room. Just then she grabbed my wrist, as it was about to knock on the door. What is she up to? As she was lowering my hand down I looked at her with one eyebrow up in confusion

"I-is something wrong?"

She looked down at her hand holding my wrist, as she quietly spoke "You didn't tell him about anything still right?"

Oh, what is she worried about? I gave her a warm smile just so she wouldn't worry

 "Of course not." She looked up at me as I continued, "It's been months now and he still has no clue."

She just smiled and let go of my wrist "Thank you."

I nodded my head and knocked on the door

*Knock*knock*

I open the door enough to peek my head through it and noticed they're making some sort of invention. Just then Trunks and Bra look

Trunks "What?"

"Um someone's here to see you"

Trunks makes a mouth motion "Who?"

I make a mouth motion back "Marron"

With a surprised look on his face "hurry Bra cover it up" Trunks rushes to cover the invention up with a handkerchief

Bra carefully tries to cover it up as much as possible "carefully I don't want to lose any parts"

They cover it up and slip it under Trunks' bed as he nods an ok to me

They both walk in and are greeted by hugs

Trunks looks at Marron "so why are you here"

"Um you left this when you ran off " She hands him his jacket

"oh um thanks"

"Yeah" about a minute of silence fills the room "ok well I have to go I just came to drop it off…so I guess I'll just see you guys later. Bye"

As she heads out of the door Vegeta begins yelling from downstairs "TRUNKS! 5 MINUTES ARE UP LET'S GO TRAINING TIME!"

Bra clears her throat and pushes Trunks off of the bed forcing him to get up "He'll walk you down there on his way to training aren't you"

I saw his face blush, what a geek! Its just Marron "um…sure "

Trunks: I can't believe she did that to me! I went off with Marron walking her down to the main hall nothing but silence is filled as we walked down to the front door with Krillin already waiting in the car she left without a hug as we said goodbye and I headed on to the Gravity room following my father.
