"I Love You…Good Bye"

Ok, I'm going to try and make this a long, interesting chapter. Would any of you like that? Oh, yeah, the reason I haven't been updating that frequently lately is because we're getting rid of AOL, and getting something better apparently. So, I might just get my OWN e-mail address finally. Yeah me! Lovies ^o^!

Chapter 8: Secrets

"Where are you going?" Vegeta asked curiously.

"What does it matter?" Trunks snapped. Vegeta reached over and ruffled Trunks' hair in response. He had been standing in front of the mirror perfecting it for a half an hour. "Hey!" Trunks yelled.

"Don't get testy with me, brat. Answer the question." Vegeta demanded.

"Fine, I'm going to the movies… with Goten and Marron." Trunks hesitated.

"You're going on a date with that blond haired slut?" Vegeta asked in bewilderment. Trunks had always referred to Marron as the blond haired slut… until lately.

"What? No, that's not it at all. In fact, I'm meeting another girl there as well. She's my age and after the movie, me and her are gonna go out to dinner. So, to answer your question, I'm not going on a date with Marron." Trunks said staring at his reflection.

"Good, I don't want you dating that wench anyway. Who's this other girl?" Vegeta asked again.

"Ya know, I'd really appreciate it if you didn't call Marron names. The girl I'm dating is JC, she's really nice and if you gave her a chance, I think you'd like her." Trunks said with an optimistic grin.

"Why can't I call her names? You've always done it before, besides, when have I ever taken orders from you?" Vegeta said getting angry. He completely disregarded the fact that Trunks had answered his question. All he had heard was Trunks' request to stop calling Marron names, and he didn't like the fact that Trunks had changed his mind about her so quickly.

"Sorry. It's just that I called her names because I didn't know her, and now that I do, I don't think she deserves to be called names, that's all." Trunks said grabbing his jacket and pulling it over his shoulders.

Surprisingly, Vegeta didn't say anything, he just leaned onto the doorframe of Trunks' room and folded his arms, looking as though he was deep in thought.

"See ya." Trunks yelled as he left his father behind and galloped down the stairs and out the door.

"The brat's up to something." Vegeta muttered to himself when Trunks was out of earshot.

After Trunks had picked up Goten, they made their way to Marron's island.

"I never realized how far out Marron lived." Goten said as he yawned from boredom.

"Yeah, it must be hard living way out in the middle of no where. I'd hate to have to drive for an hour just to get to the grocery store." Trunks said with a new respect for Marron. She always acted like she had grown up in the city, but in fact she had never moved from her island since she was born. 'She's a wonderful actress.' Trunks thought to himself. Trunks was snapped back into reality when Goten suddenly let out a yelp.

"Who put this here?" Goten asked irritably.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Are you excited, sweetie?" 18 asked thoughtfully.

"Yeah, mom. I'm real excited." Marron faked a smile and continued wrapping her hair around her finger. Although Marron used this to attract boys, it was also regarded as her nervous reaction.

"So what movie are you gonna see?" Krillan asked sipping at his coffee.

"Huh? Well, I don't know." Marron said realizing that this posed another real problem. 'What if Trunks chose a romantic movie with sex scenes? Or worse, what if he let Goten choose and we're gonna see an action movie?' Marron thought frantically to herself.

"I hope it's not a romance." Krillan chuckled.

"What's that supposed to mean?" 18 asked curiously.

"Well, we don't want Trunks getting any ideas, now do we?" Krillan said with another nervous chuckle. He nudged Marron with his elbow and received and exasperated sigh in return.

"I just hope she doesn't have to sit through that new action movie." 18 said glancing at Marron with an I'm-sorry-if-you-do look.

"I'd hope so too." Krillan said.

"Why is that? I thought you didn't want me to see a romance. An action movie is the exact opposite." Marron said in slight bewilderment.

"I know, it's just that I don't think it'd be fair if you saw it before me, that's all." Krillan said sheepishly.

"You're hopeless." 18 muttered. There was a knock on the door and Marron jumped to her feet.

"Lemme answer it. It could be solicitors." Krillan said jumping up as well.

"Dad, we have never once had a solicitor here before, it's Trunks, and I'm not letting you answer the door." Marron practically snarled.

"Ok, ok. You can get it, I guess." Krillan said sitting back down. Marron ran to each one of her parents and gave them a quick peck on the cheek.

"Bye." Marron waved.

As she reached the door, Marron did a quick breath check and smoothed out her outfit (a skimpy spaghetti strap top, which didn't cover her midriff, and short jean shorts that were artistically torn.) and opened the door.

"Hi, Trunks." Marron said in a high pitched girly voice.

"Hey, Marron. You look great." Trunks said taking in the sight before him.

"Thanks." Marron said twirling a piece of her hair around her finger. She wasn't nervous.

"Shall we?" Trunks asked extending his arm to Marron. She giggled and hooked her arm around his and he led them both to the car.

"Heya, Marron." Goten said from the front seat. He didn't sound very enthusiastic.

"Hi, Goten." Marron said still staring at the back of Trunks' head.
