Two Sides Of The Story: Chapter 7-Rabbit or Duck
*Same night as before*
"Rabbit!"
"Duck!
"Rabbit!"
"Duck, damn it!"
Bra rolled her eyes as she took a sip of her iced tea as she continued to watch the roommates bicker about the same thing.
"She is a rabbit!" Uub defended himself as he folded his arms.
Goten grunted as he slammed his beer bottle down on the table, "How can she be a rabbit if you wooed her on the train?"
"Because Evie is a great girl, I just don't see anything happening between us." Uub confessed as he took a sip of his water and popped some trail mix into his mouth.
Bra decided this was the chance she could the question that came to her mind. "What the hell is a rabbit or a duck?"
Goten looked at Bra as if she was stupid. "Umm…you never heard about the rabbit or duck theory?" Bra shook her head no and both of them were stunned. "A rabbit is someone where you don't see anything happening, but a duck is where you do see something happening."
"So, why is this Evie girl a rabbit?" Bra asked Uub.
Uub shrugged his shoulders. He couldn't hundred percent explain it to his friends that he was afraid that he was falling for this girl. It was all thanks to Goten in the first place for this because he wasn't going to go after her.
Before Uub could say anything, Bra's phone ranged. "Hey, Marron."
"You guys aren't at the diner?" Marron asked slightly concerned.
"We decided to come to Goten and Uub's place."
"We will be there in five."
Bra hung up her phone and glared at the boys. "You know all I asked for was for one of you guys to text my brother to say we were at your apartment." Bra said as she walked over to their TV and turned on Tonight Entertainment
"I told him to do it!" Goten and Uub said in unison.
Bra rolled her eyes as she sat down on their couch and increased the volume. There was a knock on the door, "Door!"
Uub got off one of the stools and unlocked the door. "Glad you guys could make it!" Trunks and Marron both smiled as they closed the door shut.
"Breaking News is Trunks Briefs a dad?" The reporter known as Valese said.
"Uh oh." Marron, Uub, Trunks and Goten walked over towards the TV to see what was going to happen.
"Hi, I'm Valese Juu here with some breaking news. We all know Trunks Briefs is dating model Lana Grimes." The most recent picture of Lana and Trunks popped up on the screen. The both of them looked extremely happy in the photo. "But today he was seen with another woman! The secret woman also looked like she was pregnant. Trunks may just be helping his blonde friend out or is he the baby daddy? We will try to get more news soon."
Everyone's mouth were wide open. They were surprised that this happened to know. Trunks was caught by the paparazzi not too long ago and he didn't hear the end of it from his mother. And if she found out about this he might as well be another wish on the dragon balls.
"I'm dead!
"You're dead? We're both toasted!
"So Marron is famous now?"
"She's hot!" Bra smacked Goten in the back of the head.
Uub cleared his throat, "This just got interesting."

Marron sighed as she took the sunglasses off of her face as she and Trunks entered their apartment.
"I don't like this." Marron said as she sat down on the couch. Trunks closed the door and followed after her.
He grabbed her petite hand and caressed it. She was surprised by that, but at the moment she needed some comfort. "I don't like it either, but remember we are in this together." He flashed a smile at which caused her to smile softly.
"Thank you Trunks." She leaned over and gave him a hug. He released her from their hug and he gave her a kiss on the forehead. "So, what do we do now?"
"We need to be on the down-low, okay. So, the only time we leave the house is for work, we can't even go to the diner anymore with Goten and them." Marron nodded her head as she rested her head on his shoulder.
She sighed, "Okay, Trunks. But can I ask you one question?"
"Sure."
"Why do you and your mother have to be famous?" She asked.
He wanted to answer her that question, but he also wanted to know that answer too.
.

Bra sighed heavily as she pushed some of her blue locks out of her face. "Yes, mom, the apartment is located in a safe neighborhood." She said.
Her mother was happy that Marron gave her the apartment, but she still isn't so fond on Bra living alone. She would have been more okay with it, if she learned to fight back in the day, but she refused.
"Goten and Uub are just one floor down and they instant transmission here all the time." Bra continued as she walked into the kitchen and leaned against the fridge. "I'll be fine, I don't walk alone at night and I make it look like I'm never alone."
A smile appeared on Bra's face when she realized that her mother cared about her safety. Sometimes she felt that she was in the shadow of her older brother. He is currently the president of Capsule Corp AND he is having a baby too.
Bra looked over at the open window and her life flashed before her eyes when a pigeon flew in and landed on her kitchen table.
"Mom, I got to go, I got to go, I got to go." She hung her phone and tossed it on the couch. She needed to calm down her nerves. She didn't want the bird to poop everywhere in her house. "I got it!" She quietly exclaimed as she slowly grabbed a pot from one of the drawers.
"I got you, you little demon." She muttered quiet as she took the lid off and slowly covered the bird with the pot. She let out a little scream until she covered the bird. "Wow, I did it."
There was a knock on the door. "It's open!"
The door opened and it was her older brother. "Hey, so, how long do you think it will take to go baby shopping with Marron?" He asked.
A few weeks passed and the story about Trunks might be a father has died down, so they thought this would be a good time to go baby shopping again. Anyway the two of them needed to get some baby clothes. Since they found out they are having a girl, they wanted to make sure they had everything and then some more.
Bra shrugged her shoulders as she walked over to her window and opened the lid letting the bird go. She closed the window and faced her brother. "Marron will probably want everything and she is a difficult clothes shopper."
"I know, that's why I am asking." He said with a harsh tone.
"Maybe two hours, look, just suck it up okay." Bra said as she placed the pot in the sink to clean it she didn't want it to smell like bird.
Trunks nodded his head and knew that his little sister was right. "Thank you little sister." He said as he walked over to her and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead.
"Anytime for you my dear brother." Bra said as her older brother left her apartment.

There was a knock on the door to Uub's apartment door. He was surprised by that, he normally didn't get guest like this unless it was Gohan and Videl. And if they were going to drop of Pan again, he was going to lose it.
Uub opened the door, "Trunks?"
"Is Goten here?"
"No, he got called into work."
Trunks nodded his head as he slowly starched the back of his neck. "Well, I'll see you later…"
"Where's the poop, Trunks?" Uub asked as he stepped out into the hallway since Trunks thought he could make a run for it.
Trunks sighed as he walked back towards his friend's apartment, "Girl problems."
Uub smirked, but lost it when he realized that he was already in a relationship. "What did Lana do?" He asked.
"I wouldn't say it's about Lana…." Trunks trailed causing Uub eyes widen to the size of the moon.
"Get your ass in here." Uub said as he motioned him to come inside. Trunks nodded his head as he slowly walked into their apartment.
.

"Having a Bra and Marron day is such a good thing." Bra stated as the girls clanked their glasses together. Marron was drinking some water and Bra had a martini glass. Bra smiled widely as she took her first sip.
Marron nodded her head, "I just feel like something is happening between Trunks and I…"
"Explain."
The mother to be cleared her throat, "Well, since we stayed in our apartment for a couple of weeks to have the tabloids die down, I felt spark between us."
The younger sister of Trunks smirked when she heard that, "Wait…did Trunks break up with Lana?" Marron shook her head no, "Why and how did you feel a spark?"
"We acted like we were a couple. We would cuddle and hold hands. And he started to kiss me on the cheek and forehead more."
"Dios mios!" Bra said in Spanish as she took a large gulp of her alcoholic drink. (Dios mios=oh my god in English)

"So, what girl problems do you have that might not concern your girlfriend?" Uub asked as he pulled out some beer and their famous potato chips that Goten buys from a secret market. Uub hasn't asked about the secret market, all he knows, those chips were amazing.
Trunks took the first beer and popped the top off. "I think something might be happening between Marron and I."
"So end it." Uub blurted out as he popped a chip in his mouth.
The demi-saiyan slightly shook his head no, "I actually don't want it to stop. I kind of like it."
As much as Uub did not want to do this, he needed too. He reached across the table and slapped Trunks so hard that he could see his hand imprint on his face.
"Uub what the hell!" Trunks mumbled as he placed his hand on his cheek. It hurt too much to touch so he left it alone.
"You have a girlfriend! Lana Grimes! Remember her?" Uub asked.
Trunks nodded his head, "Yes, I know this sounds so wrong, but I kind of like it with Marron. I see a different side of her. The way she laughs, especially when she snorts."
"Oh my shit, you have feelings for her!" Uub shouted. Trunks violently shook his head no disagreeing with him. "Awe and you're disagreeing, how cute!"
"I don't have feelings for her!"
"She's a duck."
"Rabbit."
"Duck!"
"Rabbit!"
"Duck, damn it!" Uub cursed. "This sounds vaguely familiar." The front opened and it was Goten. "She is a duck."
"Who?" Goten asked as he closed the door and walked over to grab one of the beers on the table.
The roommate of Goten looked over at Trunks and gave him the look "Is it okay to tell Goten?". Trunks shook his head no because he knew that Goten wouldn't be able to keep this secret to himself.
"Evie is a duck!" Trunks shouted.
"You told him?" Uub asked harshly.
Goten shrugged his shoulders, "Just ask her out, already."
Uub looked at his roommate and his best friend. He knew that they wouldn't let up about this up. "All right, I will ask her out."
.
.

"Marron, I'm not okay with this. I know you have feelings for him, but I wouldn't want him this way." Bra said.
The blonde nodded her head as she agreed with his little sister. "I know and as much I want something to happen, I'm not going to do anything." Marron looked over at the doorway and she noticed the guys walking in. "Shh, don't talk about it."
Bra nodded her head as the two girls scooted towards the end of their booth. Goten sat next to Marron, Uub sat next to Bra and Trunks pulled up a chair next to their booth.
"Girls night?" Goten asked. The girls nodded their head.
Trunks' phone rang and he excused himself. "Lana, how are you?" That was the only thing they were able to hear until he was trailed off.
"I asked her." Uub confessed to the table with a happy smile on his face. "Our date is tomorrow night."
The bluenette slightly punched him on the shoulder. "Good I'm glad you did."
"Who did you ask out?" Marron asked.
Uub blinked slightly, "Wait… Goten didn't blab to you about Evie?" Marron shook her head no. "Wow, he can a secret."
"I'm proud." Marron said as she passed him her glass of water.
He smiled at her, "Thank you to both."
Marron looked down at her watch and looked at the time, "Hey, I'm going to head home. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Marron shooed Goten out of the booth and she walked home.
"So, what did you and Marron talk about before we came?" Uub asked slightly curious.
"She said she felt a spark between her and Trunks." Bra confessed and Uub nodded his head.
"He told me that too!" Uub shouted slightly loud. It didn't cause the attention of Trunks, which is what they cared about.
Goten didn't know what was going on, but he did want to know. "Wait, what did you guys say?"
"Both Marron and Trunks feel a spark, but Marron doesn't want anything to happen because he is dating Lana." Bra stated.
"Trunks says he likes it and doesn't want to stop it." Uub confessed. All three of them sighed heavily.
The oldest demi-saiyan spoke up, "I don't like the sound of this."
"Neither do I."
A/N: Here's a new chapter! I'm sorry it took me so long to upload, I graduated high school, went on vacation, I'm working more hours, but I'm also spending time with my friends before we go our separate ways. What I'm doing, I'm writing as many chapters as I can and then I'll upload one. It will be easier when I go off to college. I won't make any new stories when I start college in the fall, but I have idea for a new book series. I might upload it before I start, but it all depends on how my schedule is. Thank you for understanding and please review.
