Love & Betrayal

Chapter Seven: How Could You Not Love Her?

The Next Day After Marron Visits Parents

It was around mid-day. Marron walked around her apartment room still in her pjs thinking how she was gonna pull this off. This "evil idea" she came up with that would surely get Pan back for sure.

Marron paced back and forth in the kitchen talking to herself practically making herself look like a mad woman or something.

"Yeah, this will work perfectly. I'll show her. She's not the boss of me. You just wait and see Pan...Soon Kiel shall be with me. I'll snatch him just like Trunks." She said as she mumbled the last sentence. While she was talking she was putting in pre-cut veggies into the soup she was cooking, but she was basically throwing it in so some of the soup ran down the side making the flames of the fire turn yellow and orange. The fire hissed as she took a deep breath to try to calm herself.

'There's no sense in getting mad at the thought of what's her name.' She thought. All the sudden the door bell rung followed by Trunks voice.

"Hey Marron it's me!" 'Oh god what's he doing here?' Marron thought. Marron grabbed her robe just as Trunks knocked on the door.

"Hey babe what's up?" Marron asked as she opened the door. "What do you mean Marron? Why aren't you read? We were going on a picnic remember?" responded Trunks. "Oh, a well, Trunks I don't feel like going anymore." "Well why didn't you call and tell me?" Trunks questioned starting to get a little aggravated.

"Listen Trunks I'll make it up to you later on tonight okay? We'll go out to a club or something, your choice, my treat! How does that sound?" Marron said looking at him reassuringly.

"Fine..." Trunks finally let out. "See ya later." Marron called as Trunks turned to leave. He waved and left. Then he reached in his pocket and pulled out his cell phone.

Marron closed the door. 'This plan had better work. Cause it's gonna hurt the both of us.' She thought. Then s she rushed over to her purse and dumped all its content on the floor. She searched through the pile finally standing back up with the item she was looking for. A small mini black book.

She flipped page after page that were all filled with phone numbers of guys she was seeing or guys Bra finished seeing or guys she was seeing who were with Bra or guys Pan tried to get, but she jumped in her way grabbing their attention away from. And for each type of guy she highlighted in different colors.

Then she stopped once Kiel Sox came into view. Marron smiled triumphantly, She had gotten his phone and cell number at the part after their dance. She picked up the phone and dialed his number. The phone ranged a couple times then finally the line clicked and Kiel's raspy voice answered.

"Hello Kiel?"

In A Nice Clearing in the Forest

"Thanks for coming on such short notice with me." Trunks said as he took a bite out of his sandwich. "You're welcome Trunks. Besides it's nice to get away from the city. Even if it's only for a few hours." Pan replied. She took a bite of the lemon pie before her.

"Hmmmmmmm....Trunks who made this? It's obliviously not your mom's cooking." "Actually my grandmother made it." Trunks laughed a bit.

It was true like anyone knows his mom may be brilliant, but not when it comes to cooking.

"SO how are things with Marron?" "Not as good as they used to be. I mean at first I thought I saw something in her. Whatever it was it's starting to disappear." Trunks paused for a moment to think of all the good times. When they would go to the movies, or a walk in the park, or go to a nice restaurant. Trunks shook his head. Then looked up at Pan who looked like she could just cry.

"What's the matter? Did I bore you to tears?" Trunks joked starting to grow a little uncomfortable at Pan's silence.

"No...It's just I don't know what I would do if that happened to me and Kiel. I hope nothing is gonna happen to us." "Pan any guy would be stupid to let you go or not get with you." Trunks reassured with a grin. 'Then how come I couldn't get you?' She thought.

"But Trunks I didn't get my first boyfriend until I'm in High School. Bra had her first the last year of Elementary and Marron her first year in Middle School." "So? What do they have to do with you?" Trunks replied giving her a Bulma serious face with a pinch of a weaken Vegeta no playing stare.

As Pan continued to look into Trunks eyes a sort of relaxation fell upon. She knew he was right. Kiel and her had no worries. At least for now anyway. But as Pan continued to stare at Trunks she couldn't help but fall out laughing.

"And what's so funny?" He asked. Pan had to clutch her stomach to try to calm herself. "You know Trunks if even for a moment you try to act like your mom, even just for a second, you do something to prove you are related to your dad." "Ha, ha very funny. But remember it was me using my dad's attitude to get rid of those bullies that messed with you and Bra when you couldn't defend yourself just yet."

Later That Day

"Well I had a fun time Kiel" Marron spoke. Kiel and Marron walked to Marron apartment door. They had gone to the movies, to a nice restaurant and went bowling. "We should do this more often." Kiel said. "But what about Trunks and Pan?" Marron asked as she turned to face him once they got to her door.

"What about them?" Kiel said as he moved slowly to place a kiss on her cheek. Kiel then turned to leave and Marron watched him 'til he turned the corner.

'Woo Pan found the most sweetest guy.' She thought. "And soon he will be mine." She said aloud as she began to chuckle somewhat evilly.

So as time go on, more and more Kiel and Marron made excuses of why they couldn't meet Pan or Trunks somewhere so they could secretly meet. And day by day Trunks grew aggravated and Pan more suspicious.

Marron and Kiel had a lot of close calls when running into somebody like Pan, Trunks or Bra. But luckily they never got caught until one night. And now we're down to 6 years and two weeks ago.

City Town Banquette Hall

It was around 9ish and everyone was having a splendid time at Mr. Satan's 94th birthday celebration. Police officers, Mr. Satan's' pupils with their dates and the glorious Z- team were there.

"God you'd think he's the king of the country and not a phony-wannabe-hero." Bra mused as she walked into the nicely decorated room. "Bra!" Bulma hissed at her daughter. "But it's true!" Bra reasoned. "Just drop the subject." Bulma begged.

The next thing Bulma knew she was blinded by flashes. 'Of course the press.' She thought bitterly. "Back off or else." Vegeta growled making a lot of the camera people uncomfortable so they left.

"Hey Bulma!" Videl yelled across the room and loud violin music. "Oh hi Videl!" Bulma greeted as she made her way to the raven haired woman.

"Look I'm real sorry about the press. I've been fighting with them to stay back, but they're getting out of control." Videl said with a sigh. "I've fought them off so long I still haven't even said so much as a happy birthday to my dad yet." "Oh don't worry Videl I'm sure my dad can help. I mean just glaring at them makes them run for cover." Bra said now including herself in the conversation.

"Oh that's alright Bra, but he doesn't have to." "If I can literally inflect pain I will be happy to, otherwise no." Vegeta replied. "Don't listen to him. He's just mad he's wearing a suit as usual." Bulma exclaimed.

Videl laughed. "Um Videl have you seen Pan?" Trunks asked. "Oh Hun she's somewhere in here. I lost track of her in this maze of people." She responded. "I'll look for her. Oh and nice dress." Trunks complimented towards the red wine strapless dress Videl had on. "Thank you." Videl called as he turned around and left in search of Pan.

Trunks must have looked for 30 minutes before he found her. She looked very stunning. She wore a black dress with a surplice neckline and spaghetti straps. And one of the straps having a little flower detail. And a split on the left side that came to her knees. Her hair was up in a pony tail with two bangs and wavy. Witch meant she sued her ki to dray her hair once she finished her shower. 'Cause that is the only time her hair's wavy. But as stunning as she was he notice something. Her face displayed anger and hurt and in her eyes blinked away tears.

As he made his way to her he opened his mouth to say her name, but she pointed not even looking at him or giving him a chance to ask. Trunks looked to where Pan was pointing and he hated what he saw. There behind a few talking police officers was Kiel and Marron French kissing passionately in a corner. "How...could he...Trunks why?" Pan choked.

Her eyes looking in his, but she could see as plain as day he couldn't help her. Not even say the right thing to make the pain stop. Kiel was basically her first boyfriend. The first she trusted outside of Goten and Trunks with her innermost trust. He could always say the first guy never always gonna be "the one", but he was the one who put false hope in her since she was telling he stopped doing everything.

Stopped calling, going out, saying she was beautiful, smart or funny. He even stood her up on a few arranged dates. Realizing he didn't answer her he notice a tar roll down her cheek, but he wiped it away. "Don't cry. You'll ruin your make-up." He kindda teased hoping to lighten the mood. "Who cares about the dumb make up Trunks? Marron is all over Kiel just as he's all over her!" She sobbed.

"Calm down I know it hurts. You're not the only one who's suffering." Trunks said as calmly as he could. He moved to hug her. And she let out invisible tears.

"Come on we're here for your grandfather and not them. We'll let the night play out then handle them later." Trunks said reassuringly. "You mean it Trunks? You promise?" Pan asked searching his eyes with her own.

"I promise." He said as he nodded his head in agreement. "Also promise no matter what we won't harm them to the fact they're dead, and then I will." Pan said cheering up a bit. Trunks once again nodded in agreement and they walked off into the crowd.

As the night progressed Videl did seem to see her father. And everyone complimented everyone on their outfits. Trunks, Bra, Pan and Bulma in particular.

Trunks and Pan avoided their quote on quote 'ex's' the whole evening spending most of their time together. Nobody seem to notice...nobody, but Vegeta that is.

In his mind something screamed the night was gonna end on a bad note. But he just couldn't figure out what. But whatever it was it would start with the brats. So he kept his eye on them. Very closely too. The bad thought shouting louder out at them now then before.
