A/N: This is the second chapter. (THIS ISN'T A LEMON!). Enjoy!
Marron knocked on the door of Trunks' room. She had been discouraged by Trunks' family because he hadn't even wanted to talk about whatever happened with them.
"What?" Asked an irritated voice on the other side.
"Trunks? It's me, Marron. Can I come in?" Her face was close to the door, and she attempted to sound friendly.
"Why?"
"Trunks, I am one of your best friends and I think we need to talk." She heard a stepping sound and the unlocking sound of the door. Carefully she opened it as Trunks was returning to his seat on the ground, where he leaned on the bed frame.
"Trunks what's wrong?" She said gingerly taking a seat beside him. Trunks hesitated, because it was still hard for him to talk about it, but Marron put him at ease.
"Pan and I broke up today. Apparently she and Uub have had a thing for a few weeks now, and she just let me know today."
"Aww, Trunks." She said. She put a hand on his shoulder, tenderly. "I am so sorry." She whispered to him. She knew that breaking up was a hard thing to do. Trunks looked down at his hands that were clasped loosely on his knees.
"Remember that promise you made to each other before you started going out with her? You both promised that if you broke up you'd still be friends." Trunks nodded, the hurt was apparent on his face.
"I know it's hard, but the pain will subside overtime. All you need now is get out a bit and stop feeling sorry for yourself. Come on let's go have some fun." She said. Trunks looked at her and wondered what they were going to do. He pushed all doubt in his mind away and decided to go out and have some fun.
"Okay. I'll try to give it a shot." He hugged her warmly. She almost melted into his arms. "Thanks Mar." She smiled her 1000-watt smile that she only gave around Trunks. It was true that she had liked him ever since they were children, but he had always seen her as just a friend. Marron motioned to Trunks to go out his door. He didn't want to have a run-in with his family, so he scooped her up into his arms instead and flew out the window.
"That works." She stated, hoping that she could conceal her blush from him behind her hair. Marron hopped into the drivers seat of her car and waited for Trunks to get in.
"We'll have fun." She told him. "And I know just the place to take you."
"Where?" He curiously asked.
"It's a surprise." She gave him a smirk and glance before she started off to their destination.
They stopped for dinner first, but after seeing how busy every restaurant in town was, Marron skipped to phase two of her plan. Trunks and Marron arrived at the annual carnival at eight when the night was just starting to get dark.
"Here we are!" Marron exclaimed as she parked the car.
"A carnival? I haven't been here since Bra and I were small.
"Exactly. Neither have I and I wanted to check it out and see if it had changed." Trunks nodded, hoping that this was an okay decision. He had started to have doubts of going into public on the trip over. Before he could even protest, though, Marron had grabbed his arm and started to barge on.
Marron made a complete circle around the grounds, looking for somewhere exciting to start. Suddenly a wide grin spread through her face as she found something. She quickly grabbed Trunks hand and pulled him over to the bumper cars.
"Ha! I'll beat you for sure here!" She said to him. "I am the ultimate bumper master!" Trunks chuckled and put on his most arrogant face.
"That is until I beat you and then I shall be the 'ultimate bumper master." The two raced over to the bumper cars and waited until their turn. As soon as the young boy unlocked the gate to enter, Marron and Trunks jokingly shoved each other and scramble towards the fastest car. Marron beat Trunks and climbed quickly in.
"That's okay." Trunks tried to brush the small defeat off playfully. "You'll need an advantage against me."
"Oh, sure." Marron stated sarcastically. She put on a humorously mean face as Trunks settled for another car.
They flew around the bumper floor and attacked each other relentlessly. No matter how hard Trunks tried, Marron always ended up sneaking up behind him and bumping him. She was clearly the winner. Laughing, the two stepped out of the car, a little tipsy from going around in circles. Marron tripped and caught Trunks' arm to save herself. She blushed slightly and let go. Trunks just laughed at her and stumbled a little over the steps.
"Look! German swings! Come on!" Marron again took a hold of his hand, not because she wouldn't come, but just because she wanted to touch him again. Trunks' didn't take notice and followed her. She looked at the ground as she got on the German swings. The little crush on her best friend was resurfacing with a vengeance. She thought that she had gotten over it, but it seemed obvious at that moment that she had not. As they rode the swings, Marron tried to make sure that Trunks was having fun and laughing. It was refreshing to see him again. Trunks looked over at Marron and noticed that she was staring at him.
"Do I have something on my face?" He asked with his head cocked to one side.
"No. I was just thinking that I missed you. We haven't hung out with each other very much lately. 'It was because of Pan. She occupied your every thought.' Marron knew that she held resentment for her friend while Trunks was dating her. Hopefully now, Pan and Marron could regain their lost friendship. After climbing off the swings and grabbing a bite to eat, Trunks and Marron decided to go on the Farris wheel. Trunks sat in the seat first so that Marron wouldn't have to scoot across. 'What a gentleman!' Marron thought to herself. 'I really need to stop that. He just broke up with his girlfriend. Face it, Maz. You are never going to get a chance with Trunks.'
As soon as she was in, he casually put his arm on the back of the seat. Marron knew that he meant nothing by it, but she still couldn't help feeling the heat of her blush on her face. Trunks looked at the stars above them, not even noticing her rosy cheeks and said to her,
"It's beautiful tonight." Marron nodded with her head down.
"Mmm. It is." She finally recovered and joined him in looking at the stars.
"I had my first kiss with Pan on a Farris wheel in a park. It was a night just like this." Marron couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. She had been a fool to think about Trunks romantically when he was still caught up with Pan.
After three rounds on the Farris wheel, Trunks and Marron decided to call it a night. Trunks pulled out the capsule that held his car and Marron capsulated her car. Trunks drove Marron to her house on Kame Island and all the way down the road they sang to the songs on the radio. As soon as they reached Marron's house, Trunks walked her to her front steps.
"Thank you for being there for me tonight. I feel much better thanks to you." Marron grinned and nodded slightly. Her eyes gleamed at Trunks.
"You're welcome." Trunks blushed. Why? He didn't know. Sort of awkwardly, he gave her a quick hug before flying back to Capsule Corp.
"Marron? Where were you?" Asked a nervous Krillin when Marron came in. Last her father had heard, she was going into the city to shop and run. When she hadn't returned, he grew worried.
"I was helping Trunks. He and Pan split up." She solemnly responded.
"Oh! So you went on a date with him to cheer him up?" Said an amused Master Roshi as he winked at the girl. Marron rolled her eyes at the old man's antics.
"No way! I just was being a friend to talk to and cheering him up." Marron put a hand on her hip, growing agitated with the man.
"Heh. Heh. Heh. Sure. Sounds like a date to me." Marron found talking to Master Roshi useless and went upstairs to go to bed.
When Trunks got home, he tried to come in quietly in case Bra was in bed. She had been stressed out lately and needed her sleep. As he entered the living room he found his mom and dad on the couch, watching television. Seeing Vegeta so engrossed with the television, Bulma led her son into the kitchen to talk. Bulma motion for him to sit at the kitchen table. She sat gently and put her elbows on the table, ready to listen.
"So, where were you?" Asked Bulma with a grin.
"I was out at a carnival with Marron. She was trying to cheer me up and I guess it worked."
"I'm glad. So what's been going on with you?"
"Pan and I broke up. She signed me up to audition for the spring play and I'm thinking about doing it."
"I think that's a wonderful idea." Bulma said as she clasped her hands together. She then sobered up. "I'm really sorry that Pan and you are over. I sort of figured that was what was up with you. But I think that being in the school play would help you get over her sooner. Who knows, maybe you two can enjoy friendship someday. I hope you guys make up and don't throw out a good relationship."
"I guess so."
"That's okay, then. Now go to bed, kid."
"Alright." Trunks kissed his mother on the cheek softly.
"I love you, Trunks."
"I love you too mom." Trunks headed up the stairs and had pleasant dream throughout the night.
Ah yes…another chapter…come back soon!
