A/N: Buenos dais everyone! Thanks for all reviews keep on! Enjoy!

Trunks and Marron ran lines with each other for weeks. A week before the play, they could run through and say all their lines with little ad lib. Trunks and Marron had also enhanced the feeling of a perfect team, and they were so comfortable with each other. The day before the opening night, their teacher was a nervous wreck. She had yelled at Marron for not having all of her costumes for the dress rehearsal. Marron, for a few weeks, had wondered if Trunks liked her or not, she kept getting mixed signals. She knew he had liked her as a friend since forever, but lately she had felt something different, or at least she thought she did. Ever since Pan had broken up with him and she was there for him, but Marron didn't know whether what she felt was her feelings of his. They were friends. Just friends. Weren't they? Her head was in the clouds as she walked down the busy halls of Orange Star. She was jolted out of her reverie by a voice behind her.

"Marron!" She quickly turned around to see Trunks making his way toward her. "I'm late for class, but I need to meet you at the front entrance after school." After he had said that he hurried down the stairs to his classroom. Marron smiled in a daze. Maybe, just maybe, he really did like her. After school, Trunks stood at the front entrance of the school talking to his friends. He spotted Marron coming toward him.

"Bye guys. See you later." He said to his friends who waved back at him chuckling at some joke or another. He approached Marron calmly.

"You wanted to meet me here, Trunks?" She questioned.

"Yeah. I wanted to repay you for helping me with my lines."

"You don't have to..." Marron's heartbeat sped up. If he kissed her it would be perfect. She couldn't believe how fast her mind went to that.

"Yes I do, Mar. Come on." He grabbed her hand and led her to his car.

Shops

"I can't believe this Trunks. You are taking me shopping? Come on I've known you my whole life. You would rather die than shop! You don't have to do this!" 'I'd rather you've kissed me.' She thought. She pushed that idea out of her mind. How selfish could she be? He was doing something he hated for her because it would make her happy.

"Well, I wanted to thank you."

"You didn't have to do that either."

"Then consider it a huge present."

"Okay..." Marron said, trying to hide her satisfied grin. Trunks smiled as he watched her get into her shopping mood.

"Where do you want to go?" Marron led him around for an hour, but then she noticed he was about to die from exhaustion. She chuckled at him.

"What's so funny, Marron?"

"Your shopping stamina." She stated bluntly.

"Ha. Very funny." Trunks stated sarcastically.

"How about we get some hot-dogs and then get out of here, Mazzles?" Marron smiled at his nick name for her.

"Sounds good to me." She looped her arm in his and carried her bags along.

Kame House
"Thanks Trunks." Marron said as he dropped her off.

"No prob. You're a great girl, Mar." He hugged her for a few seconds. Every time he did this Marron's heart felt that it would burst. He had an awesomely warm and comforting hug. They pulled apart, Trunks said good-bye, and then he shot off into the sky towards his home. She walked inside to find her parents weren't there. She looked in the kitchen to see a note.

Dear Marron,

We have gone to a late lunch be home at about four. Hope you had a good day.

love, Mom and Dad.

She put down the note. 'At least they won't ask me where I've been.' Marron thought. She walked upstairs and collapsed on her bed looking at her three main outfits she was going to wear the next night. The main outfit that she would be wearing mostly through the play consisted of a light blue tee and orange cargo capris. The next was a dress that was deep red and was cut right above her knee for the dance sequence. The last was a black top that had translucent sleeves and white pants she would wear in the last act. Marron hugged the outfit to her and fell back on the bed, getting excited about the play and the kiss.

Orange Star - Opening Night of the Play

Marron looked at all the people in the crowd from backstage. She saw her parents and Trunks' family sitting on the front row. She took a deep breath, as she started to grow a little nervous. Just as she sighed, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"You okay, Mar?" Trunks asked, his voice quiet, trying to sooth her.

"I don't know..."

"Come on. You've practiced for weeks in preparation. You'll do fine." Trunks smiled at her as she turned around.

"You're right. I'll do fine. I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about you messing me up." She burst out laughing.

"I'll do my best." He smirked back at her.

The play went smoothly in Marron's eyes, except for a few parts. She did forget one line entirely and Trunks had to cover for her. She was grateful to him for it. Later in the show, Marron's dress unzipped and one of her friends acted like she was patting her on the back as she

The play was about a young man, Cameron, whose true love died of cancer when he was thirty. So now when he is thirty-four he is determined not to love anyone. To shield himself from even more pain, he becomes cold to the outside world and buries himself in work. When, all of the sudden, he meets this carefree, blunt woman named Lily who is determined to find out more about him then he wants to show. Soon, he finds he can't stand being away from her and her quirks. He realizes falling in love. She learns to love him too even though they have everything working against them.

After Intermission - Second Act

Trunks appears sleeping, but then wakes in his dream. Marron, wearing her red gown walks on stage. Trunks walks on and they sing a beautiful duet. (In which everyone finds he can really sing. Must have inherited it from Vegeta since Bulma stinks.) Glitter showers down on them and the whole set is black. After the song "Lilly" fades off backstage and Trunks wakes up.

The last scene in the third act was the one Marron had been waiting for. The one where she and Trunks kissed. This was the first time because the teacher didn't allow kissing unless they were on the stage during a performance. It was a tender kiss, warm and soft. It didn't last long but it was a few seconds of heaven to Marron. The curtain fell and clapping was heard from the audience as they broke the kiss. Everyone came out, the curtain went up, and they all bowed with wild applause ringing throughout the auditorium.

Kame House

Marron dressed in her pajamas and was about to crawl into her bed when there was a knock at her door.

"Yes?" Marron called. The door opened and Krillin and Juu stood out of the door.

"You were wonderful tonight, Marron." Krillin said.

"Thanks, daddy." She said with a smile. Juu gave Krillin a look and he excused himself. Juu shut Marron's bedroom door, but stayed inside.

"So tell me."

"Tell you what?" Marron tried to act innocent. She wanted her mom to say what she wanted to know.

"Is he a good kisser?"

"I don't kiss and tell." Marron said with a smirk.

"That's what I thought." That was the last thing that Juu said before leaving Marron's room.

There you go! My wonderful chapter! Hope you liked it!
