Two Sides of The Story: Chapter 5-Plan
Log: June 29, 793
Marron violent shook her head no, "Trunks, what happens if we have a boy?" Marron asked as she rejected another shade of pink paint.
"I'm convinced it is a girl." He shot back.
She couldn't help but laugh at him. She took a sip of her water and placed it back down on the table. "I'm saying, what happens if it is a boy?" She asked raising an eyebrow. "We need to consider that too."
He nodded his head, "I know Marron, I know." He added as he sighed deeply. He wonders if it was this hard for his parents when his sister was born. His mother finally confessed to him a couple months ago that they weren't together when he was born.
"This is why we need to find out what we are having when we can and then paint the nursery." Marron said as she folded her arms and sat back in the booth.
They have been living together for about a month and a half. It wasn't as bad as Marron thought it was going to be, except the few times Trunks thought she was Lana and gave her a treat. It seemed as it brought them closer together which pleased her.
Bra was also happy when Marron moved in with Trunks because Marron put Bra's name on the lease when Marron bought the apartment five years ago. The bluenette forgot, but she is happy to be out of her parents' house and on her own.
"Marron! Trunks!" The name echoed through the diner. The pair looked over at the front door and noticed that it was Pan. She ran over to them and slid in right next to Trunks. Goten walked in after and sat down next to Marron.
"Now Pan didn't I tell you not to leave my side?" Goten asked slightly concerned. Even though he wasn't a father, he did treat Pan as ifs he was his own child. Maybe because Gohan would kill him if he finds out something happened to his daughter.
"I'm sorry Uncle Goten." She apologized.
"I haven't seen you in forever Pan." Marron said as she took a sip of her water, "How are you doing?"
She shrugged her shoulders as she stared at the blonde's glass of water. "I'm assuming someone is thirsty?" Trunks asked as he noticed her intense stare at the glass. She nodded her head.
Goten slide out the booth and Pan followed him to the front counter. "Bring me back some cheese curds!" Marron shouted and she got the thumbs up from Goten.
Another person slid in right next to Trunks. "Hey you." She said as he gave her a quick kiss on the lips.
The lavender haired man placed his arm around her shoulders which caused a smile to form on her face. "So, you guys have been together for three months now." Marron said breaking the ice taking another sip.
Lana nodded her head, "Yeah, I can't believe it is has only been three months, it seems way longer."
He sighed has he handed Marron another sample of paint. "Trunks, stop giving me pink!" Marron said as she held her stomach. "Why do you want to have a girl so damn bad?"
He shrugged his shoulders, "Just cause." He said. He gave her the look "I will tell you the rest later on". Marron nodded her head as she noticed Pan and Goten were making a return back to their booth. Goten slid in next into Marron and Pan sat next down to Goten.
"We all have enough room?" Goten asked as he took one of Marron's cheese curds. She took a sip of her water and sighed. "Something wrong?"
"No." Marron lied.

The blonde knocked on the door. She sighed heavily, she needed someone to talk too and at the moment, the person she needed to talk to was her best friend. She debating if she wanted to say hello to her mother, but her mother did not answer her phone.
She heard footsteps walking towards the door and the door opened. "Hey, Marron, now is not the right time."
"I really need someone to talk too." Marron confessed. She did want to talk to Trunks, but he is busy with Lana.
Bra nodded her head, "What's wrong? Did my brother do something stupid?" She asked.
"No, he isn't the whole problem." She chided softly.
The bluenettes eyes grew to the size of the moon. She motioned Marron to come inside. Marron smiled when Bra let her come inside. And she realized that her best friend was on a date with a person.
"You didn't say you were on a date!" Marron muttered so her date wouldn't hear.
The male stood up and smiled, "Hello, I'm Jatu." He walked over to the mother to be and shook her hand.
"Marron." The blonde said as she gave her best friend a death glare.
"Jatu, can we continue this later on?" He nodded his head. He walked over to her and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. He exited and Bra slammed the door shut. She raised an eyebrow to blonde.
"Bra, you remember back in high school when I had feelings for Trunks?" Marron started off. Bra nodded her head, "I think I have feelings for him again."
"Dear kami." Bra mumbled as she sat down in the kitchen table. "Does he know?"
"No, I'm not going to tell him and you better keep your mouth shut." Marron hissed. She sighed heavily and took the seat next to her best friend. The blonde placed her head down on the table. Bra sighed and rubbed her back softly.
"It's okay honey." Bra started off, "I can keep my mouth shut, but why don't you want him to know?"
She turned her head so she was facing Bra, "Well, he is dating Lana for the start and I don't want to make it awkward."
"It's not going to be awkward!" Bra exclaimed.
Marron rolled her eyes, "I don't remember back in high school Trunks Briefs all over me. I had one boyfriend throughout high school."
"I hate that bastard." Bra stated.
"If Trunks doesn't know it won't hurt him."
"You sure?"
"Yes."

Uub sighed as he rested his cheek on his hand. Goten wanted to have some time with his roommate, but he forgot to mention that he brought his niece along this weekend. He didn't mind Pan being here, but she got on his nerves more than he likes.
Pan quickly slurped on her lemonade as Goten took a sip of his beer. "So, how are you and that girl?"
Uub raised his eyebrow, "What girl?"
Goten rolled his eyes, "You know, that girl you said that you saw on the train?"
Uub swallowed hard. He knew exactly what Goten was talking about, but since it was such an awkward moment Uub refused to talk about it. He was on the train waiting to go to work and he eyed this pretty blonde girl. She looked up from her book and smiled at him. It was her stop and she got up and Uub shouted "no, come back! You're pretty!"
"I haven't seen her since that day." Uub lied. He found her that day on the train coming home and he got her number. As much as he wanted to tell Goten all the details, he couldn't because Pan was too young to understand.
The demi-saiyan shook his head no, "Do you need another refill on your lemonade Pan?"
"No, Uncle Goten."
Goten smiled as he patted his niece on the back. His phone began to vibrate and he realized that is was his job. "I got to take this." He said as he slid out the booth and walked to the bathroom.
Uub eyes grew when he realized that he had to watch Pan. Even though she was on her phone probably texting one of her friends, he felt out of place. He normally would be hitting on some girl, but he couldn't.
"Hey….Pan, want to see something cool?" Uub asked with a slight smirk on his face.
Pan looked up from her phone and nodded her head yes. Uub chuckled as he prepared for what he was going to do.
Bra sighed, "Are you sure I can't tell Goten?" She asked the blonde one more time as they took steps into the diner.
"You know damn well that Goten can't keep a secret." Marron added to the conversation as they made their way to their booth. "Just keep it on the down-low." They arrived to the booth and were stunned to what they were looking at.
Pan had a giant smile on her face as she looked down at the timer on her phone. Uub had his cheeks blown up with air; he looked like a squirrel that was eating nuts.
"What is going on?" Bra asked.
Pan opened up her mouth, "Uub has been holding his breath for almost four minutes."
Marron rolled her eyes because she knew this was too good to be true. Uub was a player and played people better than he ever played his sports. She slid in right next to him and pinched his nose. His eyes grew up and he opened up his mouth.
"Are you trying to kill me?!" He exclaimed. Marron chuckled.
"Where's Goten?" She asked.
"He got a call and went to the bathroom." Uub said as he took a sip of his beer. Bra nodded her head as she looked over at Pan.
She smiled, "Hey, we should have a girls night tonight!" Bra exclaimed causing Pan's eyes to grow and nodded her head. "We can hang out in my apartment."
"I thought you lived with your parents?" Pan asked for clarity.
That's when all of them felt their heart drop to the bottom of their stomach. Pan was thirteen and she wasn't old enough to know exactly what was happening. She doesn't know that Marron moved in with Trunks and gave the apartment to Bra.
By this time, Goten exited from the bathroom and pulled up a chair from one of the tables right next to the booth. He smiled wide until he saw the lifeless facial expressions from his friends. Pan rolled her eyes and went back to her phone.
"So, who was that on the phone?" Uub asked as he pushed Goten's beer his way.
"It was my boss, he needs me to come investigate this thing for a family tonight." Goten sighed heavily, "I can't bring Pan along."
"Uncle Goten, Bra said that I can have a girls night with her and Marron." Pan said.
Goten shot his famous "thank you so much" smile to Bra and Marron. "Yeah, we did say that." Bra added. "What time do you need to go work?"
Goten pushed up the sleeve of his shirt and revealed his watch, "He said he wants me to go to in about two hours which will bring us seven-thirty. I don't know when I'll be back though."
The blonde sighed heavily because they couldn't keep going on with the lie. "Can you find that out?"
He shrugged until he realized on what Marron was talking about. "Yeah, I'll let you know and call you later on."
"Thanks."

Trunks smiled as he held his girlfriend into his arms. He loved her dearly and even said the L word already. She hasn't said it to him yet, but he wanted her to say it when she was ready not because he wanted to hear it.
At times he understood what Marron was saying "I don't want to hold you back from moving in together". He wish he could, but he is satisfied that she is okay that he is living with his friend that is having his baby.
The situation is messy, but he is glad that Lana is okay with it.
She sighed heavily as she inhaled the smell of the candle she lit. "Isn't this nice?" She asked as she took a sip of her red wine.
Trunks knew that sigh and as much as he wanted to do it, he didn't want to continue scaring Marron to death.
"It's almost seven-thirty; Marron is going to be home soon." He stated causing Lana to roll her eyes and take another sip of her wine. Tonight she wasn't going to back down without a fight. She wanted to be with Trunks and with the current situation it was getting difficult.
They are on a certain schedule because Marron would be living there. She walked in on them a couple of times which probably scared all of them to death. And sometimes Marron would need Trunks to come home early because she would have an anxiety attack about something.
The twenty-seven year old phone's buzzed and he picked it up. "Oh, Marron is going to be staying at Bra's tonight, so we get the apartment to ourselves."
Lana smirked as she raised her eyebrow at Trunks. She was going to have seduce him and she knew what would. She snatched his phone and played the certain song that would cause Trunks do anything.
"You didn't…" He moaned as the song began to play. She nodded her head. "Come here!" He said as he pounced on her.

Marron sat at Bra's kitchen table and dugged her spoon into the tub of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.
"Remember when life was simple." She stated as she passed the tub to Bra. Bra nodded her head as she placed her spoon into the creamy delicious dessert.
"Yeah, I do. You would come home from school and your favorite cartoon would be on as you're doing your homework." Bra reminisced as she placed the spoon on her tongue and swallowed the cold dessert. "I miss it."
The bluenette passed the tub over to Pan, but she rejected it. "I thought we were having a girls' night?" She questioned the two adults as she stood up from her chair and glared her daggers at the both of them.
Bra sighed, "Yeah, but our definition of girls night, you aren't able to do." Bra confessed.
Pan rolled her eyes as she took her phone out and started to text one of her friends, "If you need me I will be on the couch."
The blonde and bluenette both looked at each other and they both knew that this was going to be one long night.

Lana smirked as she stared at her boyfriend. She just loved everything about him. His jawline, his cheekbones, but more just him. She was told that he was a kind of an asshole, but when she met him some months back they were all wrong. He was a big teddy bear.
Trunks turned his attention to his girlfriend. He knew that she was beautiful, but he liked it better when she had no make-up on and her hair up in a bun, that's when she is the prettiest.
"I love you Lana." He said.
She kept her glaze on him, "I love you too." That was the first time she ever said that to him and it made his heart skip a beat. He was about to kiss her again, but he was interrupted when she got a call on her phone.
"Hello?" She asked as she grabbed her phone and got off the couch to a private place.
Trunks sighed. He would never admit it, but he was falling hard for this girl. He sometimes told Marron and she helped him out, but he didn't know how to express all of his feelings to her and it made it mad at himself at times.
"Baby…" Lana started. Trunks got out of his thoughts and turned his attention to his girlfriend. "That was my modeling agency and they want me to go on a five month trip to Peru to model."
Deep down he was extremely happy for her. It has been her dream to model in a different country. He just didn't know what was going to happen. He got up and gave her the biggest hug ever and showered her with kisses.
"I'm so proud of you!"

It was closing in on 10 and all Goten needed to do was pick up his niece and go back to his apartment and go to bed. His phone vibrated and he realized it was a text from his best friend.
"Meet me at the diner now!" He sighed heavily as made his way to the diner now.
He wasn't too far from the diner, he was just having a very long day and wanted some sleep more than anything.
He saw Trunks sitting in their favorite booth and he made his way over to him. "What's up?"
"Lana got a job offer to model in Peru for five months." Trunks confessed. "And I told her to do it."
Goten smiled when he heard those words come out on his mouth. "That's good for her. So, why did you need to tell me this?"
He sighed, "I don't know if long distance is going to work."
Goten knew they were going to close soon because the chairs were on the tables and Yamcha was giving them the sinker eye. They usually are home by now, but Trunks just couldn't be home right now.
"Just give it a try, Trunks. You love her and you want her to live her dream. I would say go with her, but you have your job, your baby." Goten added to the conversation that caused the twenty-seven year old to nod his head.
"I think I'm going to do it, it's just going to be hard." Trunks mumbled as the both of them started to slide out the booth and made their way out of the diner.
Goten patted his best friend on the back, "Everything is hard at first, if you want it so bad you will go for it."
Trunks gave Goten a weird look. He never gave him good advice, but he was proud that he did. "Thanks for being such a good friend to me."
The demi-saiyan smiled at him, "Anytime my friend, anytime."

Trunks opened the door to his apartment and sighed. He loves Lana and wants only but the best for her, but he doesn't know if he can be five months away from her.
He closed the door only to feel it resist. "Hey, Mare."
She smiled at him, "Hey, Trunks, I just got back from my girls' night." She stated as she stepped inside and closed the door.
"How was it?" He asked slightly curious.
"It was good, reminded me of our high school days." She confessed.
He smiled, "Well, that's great. I'm going to head to bed."
"Is something wrong?" He shook his head no. "Well, goodnight Trunks."
"Goodnight Marron." He mumbled as he made his way to his bedroom and collapsed on his bed.
Marron stayed in the front and shook her head no. She knew that something was bothering him. She could tell by the look on his face and how Goten was acting. He can't keep a secret at all. All she wanted to do was get to the bottom of it.

Thanks for reading!
