Two Sides Of The Story: Chapter 2-Surprise!
Log: April 19, 793
"So Trunks, how are you and Lana doing?" Goten asked as he took a sip of his strawberry lemonade.
Trunks shrugged his shoulders as he took a sip of the water that he ordered, "I guess we are doing great, I would say." He mumbled as he scratched the back of his head. "Remember that we only been dating for a month."
Goten nodded his head as Uub entered Yamcha's Diner. "Hey guys do you know what's wrong with Marron?" The son of Goku and Trunks were alerted by that.
Trunks shook his head no, "What's up with her?"
"She asked for a ride over here and when she opened the door she screamed at me and started to bawl for no reason." Goten rolled his eyes at his statement. "That doesn't sound like her at all. I wonder what the matter with her is."
"Maybe your sister knows something that we don't." Goten stated which caused all the boys to nod their heads at the same time Yamcha handed Uub his Arnold Palmers.

"So, Marron, what is the big news you need to tell me?" Bra said as Marron entered her house.
The blonde sighed heavily. She knew that she needed to tell someone and the only person she could trust at the moment was her best friend. "You have to keep this a secret." Marron hissed at her.
Bra nodded her head as she locked the front door of her parent's house, "Okay, what is it?"
Marron grabbed onto Bra's hand and dashed into her bathroom and locked the door. "Marron what's up?" She asked slightly irritated. The blonde sighed heavily as she handed her an envelope. The daughter of Bulma took the envelope slightly confused.
"Open it." She whispered so softly that Bra was barely able to hear her.
The bluenette shrugged her shoulders as she opened up the envelope. She noticed there was a white stick which resembled a pregnancy test and it has a white positive sign. "This can't be yours." Bra said in complete shock, "Please tell me this is a joke."
Marron shook her head no as she began to wail. "I wish it was a joke. It's been a month since I got my period, but I don't remember doing it with a guy." She confessed which caused Bra's eyes to grow to size of the moon. She placed the test in the bottom of the trash can before she comforted her best friend.
Bra sighed heavily, "You aren't alone, you got Goten, Uub, Trunks, and I."
Marron rubbed her orbs and tried to calm herself down, "Yes, you are right. Thanks Bra, can we keep this between us until we find out who the father is?"
Bra nodded her head, "Sure, I don't think it would be a great idea if the guys find out right now. Okay, so what we need to do is go back to your apartment and search for clues."
The blonde nodded her head and agreed, "I need to make a doctor's appointment and see how the baby is doing."
"Yes you need to do that, but let's get to your place." Bra mumbled as the two girls left her parent's house and drove off to Marron's apartment. "Okay, so you guys slept here for sure?" Bra asked as Marron placed the key in the lock. Marron shrugged her shoulders as they entered.
Bra sprinted inside to Marron's room while Marron closed the door and locked it. She walked over to the couch and checked the cushions and underneath. She then went inside the guest bedroom, but she heard Bra shriek.
"You okay?" Marron asked slightly worried as she walked inside her bedroom.
Bra pulled out a turtleneck that looked familiar. "I know who your baby daddy is." Marron swallowed hard because she knew that this news was going to be hard for her to take in since the guy changed their lives.

Goten's phone began to vibrate in his pants pocket. "I'm getting call." He mentioned as he walked over to the men's bathroom. He pulled out his phone and noticed Bra was calling him. "Bra, hey are you with Marron? Apparently, she has been acting completely nuts."
Marron rolled her eyes, "Thanks Goten." The blonde scolded through the phone.
He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "Sorry, Mare, but why haven't you two come down to the diner yet?" Both of the girls sighed heavily. They knew this question was not going to be easy to answer.
"We are caught in Marron's problem." Bra replied as vaguely as she could. She knew that Marron wanted to keep it between the girls.
Goten scratched his head, "What's wrong?" He asked. Marron sighed heavily giving her best friend the okay to tell Goten.
"She is pregnant and we know who the father is." Bra muttered through the phone quietly in case he was around Trunks and Uub.
"Well, Trunks told me that he had sex last month, but he was too drunk to remember who it was with." The demi-saiyan confessed.
"He did it with Marron!" Bra hollered not caring who heard her at this point.
Goten sighed heavily. He didn't know if Trunks told them that he got a new girlfriend. He knew if they didn't know, this would be the time to tell them. "Shit, and she is dating his new girl Lana."
Marron gritted her teeth knowing the situation just got difficult. She snatched the phone out of Bra's grasp and placed the phone up to her ear, "Goten, thank you for letting me know that. This just made everything harder. I'm okay with you telling Uub, but I swear to kami if you tell Trunks I will shove my foot" Bra quickly took the phone back
"Just don't tell Trunks because he needs to hear it from Marron, Goten." Bra said in much kinder way than Marron was.
Goten nodded his head, "Yeah, I completely understand." He responded. "I need to get back to the booth, I don't want the guys to worry."
"All right, I'll see you later Goten. We should be at the diner in an hour." He hung up his phone. He walked over to the mirror and sighed heavily. "I can't believe two of my best friends are having a baby." He ran some cold water and splashed it on his face. He grabbed a paper towel to dry his face.
He tossed it into the trash can and left the bathroom. He knew he had to tell someone and someone he wanted to tell he couldn't. He was better friends with Trunks because they have been best friends since the womb, but he wanted to be loyal to Marron. He slid into the booth, hoping his facial expression wouldn't give away anything.
"Who was on the phone?" Uub asked slightly curious.
Goten shrugged his shoulders, "It was one of my colleagues. He wanted to know if I could go into work for a meeting for him, but I said no." He lied hoping that the both of them would buy it.
Trunks nodded his head as Uub stared Goten down. "I'm going to get some food." Trunks mumbled as he got of the booth. Uub and Goten were roommates and he knew when Goten was lying.
"Where's the poop Goten?" Uub asked raising his eyebrow taking a sip of his Arnold's Palmer.
Goten shook his head in disbelief, "Damn it, you can read me like an open book."
"So, what's bothering you?" He questioned him again.
Goten sighed heavily. He knew this type of news would not be easy, but it needed to said. "Look, Bra and Marron called me on the phone. Marron is acting all moody because she got pregnant when she had sex last month. And they found out who the father is."
Uub knew that Goten was telling the truth, but he couldn't believe it himself. "Who is it?"
"It's Trunks, but we need to keep quiet, Marron told me she was okay with me telling you, but she needs to be one to tell Trunks." Goten confessed. Uub nodded his head.
"Don't worry I won't say anything, but I can't believe it." Uub said as Trunks slide back into the booth.
"You can't believe what?" Trunks asked as he took a bite into his patty melt.
Goten panicked, but Uub gave him a look to remain calm, "I can't believe how of much of an ass that coworker of Goten is." Uub mumbled.
Trunks nodded his head as he took another bite of his patty melt. "Damn, this is so good." He murmured as he continued to stuff his face in front of his friends. "Oh, yeah, Uub or Goten text my sister and see what time they are going to come down here. My girlfriend wants to meet you guys." Trunks said. "She is going to be here in less than an hour."
Uub swallowed hard as he pulled out his phone. He knew that they were going to get there in an hour. He sent a quick text to Bra saying, "Hey Bra! Trunks wants to know when you are getting down here, his girlfriend is coming to meet us in an hour."
"As much as I love watching you have a foodgasm, I'm going to get myself a lemonade. Uub, you want anything?" Goten asked as he slid out of the booth and looked at down at his roommate.
"I think I'm good." Uub responded taking another sip. He felt his phone vibrate and he realized Bra was calling him. "Go for Uub."
"Hey, Uub, Marron and I are going to be leaving in fifteen minutes." Bra said. "She is having some trouble finding something to wear."
Uub nodded his head, "Okay, so you guys should be here in another twenty minutes you are saying."
"That's only if Marron finds something to wear." Bra shot back.
"Okay, I'll see you guys when you get here." Uub hung up his phone and placed it back in his pants pocket. By this time, Goten returned with another glass of lemonade and a grilled cheese sandwich.
"What are you ten?" Uub asked.
Goten rolled his eyes at him. They all knew that he was still a child at heart and sometimes he went to embrace it.

"So, we get to meet my big brother's girlfriend today." Bra murmured as she made sure her eyeliner wing was perfect on each side. Once she finished examining herself she turned around and faced her best friend. "Awe Mare you look stunning!" The bluenette exclaimed.
Marron decided to wear a plain royal green dress that went right above her knees. Along with the dress, she put a thin black belt around her waist. She had black booties to match her black belt. "Thank you!" Marron said. "Now, just need to add some makeup."
The blonde walked over to her bathroom. She knew that their uber would be there in about five minutes, so she had to do this perfect. She applied some mascara to her eyes and light red lip stain to her lips. She added some eyeliner and looked at herself in the mirror.
"And the guys won't know that I have been throwing up everything that attempts to be in my stomach." Marron added which caused Bra to grimace at her. "Oh shush, let's get outside so we won't miss our uber."
The girls grabbed their purse and Marron grabbed the keys to her apartment. Bra exited first, so she could give time for her to lock the door. "All right's let's go meet Trunks' girlfriend." Marron said confidently, but deep down on the inside she was terrified.
.
.
.
"Thank you!" Bra exclaimed as she handed the woman some cash for driving them. Bra stood right next to Marron. They were inches away from Yamcha's Diner. "Keep calm and I'll make sure you have the aisle seat." The girls nodded their heads as they took a step into the diner.
Uub looked over and spotted their two friends, "You guys decided to show up." Uub said slightly harsh. He talked to them on the phone almost thirty minutes ago.
Bra rolled her eyes at Uub as she slide in right next to him. Marron slid in right next to Goten. "Uub, I said we were leaving once Marron found something to wear and it took her some time." Bra confessed. "Where's my brother?"
"He went to pick up his girlfriend." Goten said as he looked at Marron, "How are you feeling?"
Marron sighed heavily, "To be honest, I'm really terrified deep down, but I'm trying to show that I am not." All of them nodded their heads.
Uub looked at Marron, "We are all in this together. We will be there for you guys." He said causing Marron to smile. She looked over to the entrance and noticed the familiar lavender haired man with a woman around his arm. From the looks of it, Lana had curly light brown hair down to her mid back. She was around Trunks' height, but still shorter than him. It seemed she was wearing a red Versace evening gown and a black fedora. She averted her eyes and looked at Bra.
"Marron, what's up?" She asked as she was eating some of the nuts that were on the table. Marron pointed her finger to the entrance and she noticed that her older brother had arrived with his girlfriend. "Wait, he is dating Lana Grimes, the model?" Bra questioned everyone at the table. They all shrugged as Trunks made his way over to their booth.
"Hey, Bra, I'm pretty sure the guy in the bathroom didn't hear you." Trunks mumbled slightly irritated at his sister. Bulma made sure that no paparazzi would come near Yamcha's Diner. She tried to make sure her child had a normal life, but sometimes the paparazzi caught them. It wasn't often that they were caught.
Bra rolled her eyes at her brother as she stood up, "I can't believe you're dating my big brother. Hello, I'm Bra Briefs. Big fan of you!" She said as she stuck her hand out to give her a handshake.
Lana looked at Trunks and he shrugged his shoulders. Lana cracked a smile as she shook Bra's hand. "I'm not used to the formal greetings, I'm used to fangirls screaming." She said with her pearly whites causing all of them to laugh. Bra sat down as Trunks brought two chairs next to the side of the booth.
"You met my little sister, but I'm going to introduce to my friends." Trunks said. He first pointed at Uub, "That's Uub, he is Goten and this Marron." He said in the order that they were sitting.
Marron smiled at her, "It's really nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you, I heard you are a photographer." She said with her huge smile on her face.
The blonde nodded her head as she grabbed some nuts to eat. She didn't know if they would settle, but she is a nervous eater. "Yeah, I usually take photos at my studio just of anything."
Lana pushed some of her brown locks out of her face. Marron noticed that she had piercing gray eyes. She never seen that before, but it fit her well. "Would it be too much to ask you to take some photos of me?" She asked.
Everyone at the table besides Trunks and Lana jaws were at the ground. Marron never expected that a famous model would want her to take photos of her. Marron picked her jaw back up and tried to focus herself.
"I mean sure I would love too." Marron said as she continued to munch on the nuts. She realized that they were okay within her stomach. Lana smiled with victory as Trunks kissed her on the cheek.
"How long have you guys been friends with Trunks?" Lana asked everyone at the table.
Goten put down his drink on the table, "We have been friends since the womb. We go way back." He added to the conversation.
Lana looked over at Uub, "We meet my freshman year of his school which was his sophomore year when Trunks joined the wrestling team."
"Our parents are friends, so I met him at one of his mother's house parties when we were little kids." Lana nodded her head and smiled at all of them. Marron sighed heavily, right now she could use her raspberry iced tea, but she probably couldn't handle it.
Bra noticed how much Marron was eating and she knew that she was nervous. "Umm…Marron come to the bathroom with me." Bra said as she slid out of the booth.
"Excuse us." Marron responded as she got out of the booth and the two of them made their way to the female bathroom.
Trunks looked at Lana and Lana looked back at her boyfriend. "What's wrong with them?" Trunks asked to his two guys friends. They agreed to stay loyal to Marron, so they shrugged their shoulders hoping that girls would return soon.
"Damn it Marron!" Bra said as she folded her arms.
Marron sighed heavily, "I can't help that I'm nervous." She replied swiveling her thumbs. "It's just that she is super pretty I see why your brother likes her. And there is just me."
Bra raised her eyebrow at Marron. She knew exactly what she was talking about. She placed her hands on her best friends shoulder. Bra was barely taller than Marron even when they both wore their heels.
"Bra, what's up?" Marron asked.
"Who gives a damn about my brother taste in women?" She questioned the twenty-six year old as her eyebrow rose. "You are Marron Lazuli Chestnut. You are intelligent, beautiful, caring, loyal and the bestest best friend a girl to ask for. So I don't want to hear a damn word about how you are insecure." Her best friend preached to her.
Marron tried to keep in the tears because she didn't want to ruin her makeup. She wrapped her arms around Bra to give her a hug. "I'm so thankful to call you my best friend." She said. "I needed to hear that, thank you."
Bra smiled as she released from their hug, "Come on, let's go back outside." The blonde nodded her head as they exited the bathroom and made it back to their seats.
"Where's Lana?" Marron asked as she made sure that her muscles were relaxed. Trunks pointed his finger to the back corner it seemed that she was on the phone with someone.
Trunks looked at all of his friends with a sheepish smile. He was afraid of what friends thought of her. He just liked to have their input on the girls he dated. "So, what do you guys think of her?" He asked nervously.
Goten rubbed his chin acting as if he had to think of something formal to say. He cleared his throat, "She is a total keeper. I really like her personality, it will be bring some positivity to the group." Goten started off which caused Trunks' sheepish smile to turn into a confident smile.
"What about the rest of you guys?" He said as scanned the rest of the booth.
"She is really nice and gorgeous." Marron added to the conversation causing Trunks to smile.
Bra chipped in, "Holy crap you are dating a model. She is way out of your league, but I love her!" Trunks rolled his eyes at his little sister. He didn't get to hear Uub's opinion because Lana was returning to their booth.
Lana sat in her chair and sighed heavily. "Is everything okay, babe?" Trunks asked slightly concerned. He never saw like this before, she always had a happy personality.
She nodded her head, "Yeah, there is this party that my model friends want me to go to and I don't want too." She confessed as Trunks began to rub her back. "Wait!" She exclaimed quickly after she made her statement.
Everyone was alerted by the change of mood from her. "What's on your mind?" Uub asked.
She had a devilish glare in her eyes which reminded the gang of Trunks when he got an idea. "Wow, it's creepy on how similar their devilish glare is." Goten thought to himself as he picked up some nuts to eat for himself.
"Do you guys want to come to a party on a yacht?" She asked. "That's actually how Trunks and I met."
Uub and Goten looked at each other and smiled. The same thought came to both of them. If their boy Trunks could get a model for sure as hell they could do the same. "I am in!" The boys said in unison getting a warm smile from Lana.
Bra shrugged her shoulders, "I'm not sure."
"I agree with Bra." Marron chipped in.
Lana rolled her eyes at the two girls, "Come on you guys, we are all in our twenties and we have no responsibility, right?" Lana asked which caused Marron to feel slightly queasy on the inside. Everyone but Lana and Trunks knew the situation with Marron. "So can I get a hell yeah?" She asked.
"Hell yeah." Everyone responded flatly which annoyed her.
"So can I get a HELL YEAH?" She asked once more but she made sure that she had enthusiasm in her voice.
Everyone noticed how proud she was, so they should be proud too. "HELL YEAH!" Everyone but Marron exclaimed.
Before anyone could say something else Marron fled the diner leaving everyone confused. Bra started to slide out the booth, but Goten put his hand out to stop her.
"I'll go talk to her." Goten said as he slid out of the booth. "I'll be right." He walked out to the front of the diner and noticed his blonde friend. "What was that Marron?" He asked.
She sighed heavily as the first tears escaped from her eyes, "I'm just damaging him." She confessed. "His relationship with Lana and his friendship with me."
Goten abruptly shook his head no disagreeing with everything the blonde was saying. "Marron that isn't true at all. There is no damage between you and Trunks and there will never be." He said.
The blonde sniffed and rubbed her eyes, "Then, how come there is?" She asked. Goten sighed in defeat. He walked closer to her to give her a hug. At first she didn't hug him back, but when she did hug him back, she hugged him in a way of thanking him.
He released her from their hug, "Let me walk you home." He suggested.
"Thanks, but no thanks I really just need to talk Bra about this." She stated.
He nodded his head, "I'll get her and tell everyone else that you don't feel good." She smiled at him because he is staying loyal to her. He walked back into the diner to get Bra and explain what happened to the rest.
Marron sighed as she went into her purse to grab any tissues, so she could wipe away any leftover tears.
Bra emerged from the diner and gave her best friend a hug. "Come on, let's get you home." Bra said as she tried to stop a taxi. "Everything will be okay." She added as the taxi pulled over next to them and they got in. The taxi drove off.
Trunks ran outside to see if he could stop them, but he realized he was too late.

Tiffany7898: I hope your first semester of college went extremely well. I'll take your advice and fix up on the ending. I was inspired by Friends and another show.
