A/N: Thanks to everyone for the lov-er-ly reviews!! In fact, let me give
you each a personal...thingie:
Kawaiisempai: Thank goodness it wasn't your typical high school romance, eh? Yes, I guess I'm just a kinda twisty person. This chapter's for you Kawaii!
Saiyazon: LoL, glad you like it! Well, since no one seems to know how dollars translate into yen, I'll just have to use bucks. Thanks anyway!
PackLeaderT: Good thing you acted on your whim. Thanks, humor plays a big part in this fic.
Remember in the last chapter when I said there would be police and karaoke? I'm leaving that for the next chapter. ^.^ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chapter 4: Dinner and cows.
"I'm glad you could stay for dinner Marron."
Marron smiled at Bulma before answering, "Thanks for having me." Inwardly, Marron was nervous. 'Actually, who wouldn't be?' she thought to herself.
The whole family plus one Marron Chestnut sat around a huge, elaborate dining table in a gigantic fancy dining room. There were plates and plates of lavish kinds of food she had never seen before, set carefully around long, elegant candelabras with equally elegant candles in them. And then, of course, the cutlery. 'How the heck am I supposed to know when to use each one?' she panicked.
Vegeta was sitting at the head of the table, looking very business-like in a black suit. Marron herself was sitting on his right, feeling frumpy in her slightly geeky clothing she had thrown on without thought. On Vegeta's left, Bulma was busy fussing with the food, making sure it was arranged just right on the table. Her beautiful and elegant dress, Marron noticed, probably cost more than a year's worth of her allowance. Trunks's cute younger brother sat next to Bulma in casual clothing. 'Gee, I never got his name.' she realized. But onto Trunks. As soon as her eyes landed on him, his eyes met hers. Such icy blue eyes...so cold they were almost grey. And mesmerizing....
"Let us pray." Marron turned to stare at Vegeta. 'Vegeta, the religious type?' He hadn't really seemed the sort. Nevertheless, everyone bowed their heads and clasped their hands together.
"Dear Lord. We come together at this hour to thank you gratefully for your mighty deeds that let us have food so that we may eat, and drink so that we may not thirst. You lead us from tem..."
His words faded away as Marron's brain went in to power save mode. A.k.a. she stopped paying attention. She daydreamed of graduating with a master's degree. She dreamed of the day she would join in holy matrimony with...
Suddenly, Marron's brain woke up, realizing that there was utter silence in the room. Vegeta had stopped talking. 'Uh oh.' She looked up meekly to see that the family was staring at her. 'Crap.'
And then, Trunks saved her. "Well, are we going to eat?" He then started eating with a hearty appetite.
And so they ate, seeming to forget Marron's inattention and embarrassment. Marron picked up her chopsticks and peeked over at Trunks. He was busy eating, but she thought she saw a hint of a smirk on his lips. Now. What to eat? The only food she was familiar with on the table was rice. And eating plain rice certainly didn't taste very good.
She finally decided to try her luck with a dish full of brown meat of some sort. Strangely, no one was touching it. She didn't know why. It tasted good! So she ate more and more of it until she realized that everyone was once again staring at her. But with more intensity. And definitely disgust and horror.
Not daring to look at Trunks's face, she asked Vegeta, "Uh, what is this?"
"....Cow testicles.."
A mere second later, Vegeta's suit was covered with chewed up cow testicles. It didn't help anyone's appetite.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
15 minutes later...
"That was disgusting. Make sure never to eat at our house again."
Marron ignored him as she practically ran down the path that led to their front gate. Why was he following her? She could open the gate by herself. Maybe to make her feel worse. She twirled around angrily.
"Why did you even have it on the menu then? What a waste of money!" She shouted, her face raised up to his.
"Because we can." Was his simple answer. Marron gaped at this.
"Because you CAN?! Look, I barely know you. I've just met you. But now I can already tell that you're an insensitive, brainless spoiled brat! Just cause you have money doesn't mean you should waste it!" she raged.
"It's none of your concern." With that, he pushed a spluttering Marron out of the front gate. It closed behind her with a bang.
Seething with fury, she promised herself she wouldn't go back. She'd just have to explain to her mom that she couldn't do it anymore. She'd understand. 'She's gonna kill me. I have to keep tutoring that loser.'
And that thought made her one angry lass. She'd tame him even if it meant countless days of torture with the bastard. The loser with the incredible eyes....mentally slapping herself, she headed back home with determination shining in her steely eyes.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ End Chapter 4.
Ok, ok. I promise. The next chapter will be about karaoke and the police...plus one Pan Son.
Review!
