A/N: Here is the hopefully awaited chapter of NCD! It feels good to be writing DBZ stuff again.! Enjoy!
Marron awoke Monday before the sun was even ready to come out. She uncharacteristically hopped out of bed with a smile and picked up the outfit she had stayed up most of the night picking out. She was going to see him today! Marron's heart leaped in girlish love and she couldn't suppress the smile that formed on her lips. Quickly, she showered and spent a long time doing things she normally didn't 'waste time' doing. First, she curled the ends of her naturally straight hair, then carefully applied her make up, and spritzed a hint of sweet pea perfume on her collarbone.
With one eye open, Juu watched her giddy daughter come down the stairs into the living room and walk into the kitchen Juu glanced back at the morning paper, not really reading it.
"What are you all done up for or should I ask for whom?" Juu loved poking fun at her daughter. Marron shrugged nonchalantly.
"No one." She replied as she grabbed a pastry from a box on the counter.
"Uh huh." Juu sounded unimpressed as her daughter winked at her. Marron looked down at her watch and her face became worried.
"Oh no! I'm late for school! I've got to go!" Marron practically fell over as she tried to tug on her shoes and run out the door.
"Have a nice day!" Her mom called towards her daughter's retreating figure. Juu sighed when she heard the door close.
"Girls," was all she could say.
Orange Star High School
This was the moment of truth. Marron always saw Trunks as she walked down this hall before fifth period. Now, she would walk right around the cinderblock corner and see Trunks, her childhood love. Her heart thudded as she turned the corner and took a deep breath.
It was then that her heart was thrown and stepped on by Trinity Watkins' three-inch stilettos. Trinity, one of the most popular girls in school, was playing tonsil hockey with Trunks, much to Marron's disbelief. He was casually leaning against his locker, almost as if he didn't mind that this random girl was practically plastered to his body. Tears sprung into Marron's eyes and her blue orbs started darting around the hall, looking at everything except the two kissing.
With her mouth slightly open in shock, she started back up slowly, but ran into a boy in her attempts to escape. The books she had been carrying landed on the ground with a loud THWAK! Surprisingly, Trinity took a break from eating Trunks' face and raised her eyebrows at Marron, who was scrambling to pick up all her dropped items from the hallway ground. Students stepped around the beat-red girl.
"Marron?" Trunks muttered, confused. She didn't even look up as she ran with her messed books toward the nearest exit from the school. The blonde didn't even know her best friend and Trunks sister, Bra standing right behind her.
Bra looked towards Trunks and saw his reddened lips. 'So that's it,' she thought to herself. Ever since she had heard that Marron and Trunks had 'gone out' as 'friends,' she had suspected that her friend's old crush had been reignited. Poor girl. Bra pulled up her slipping purse and strode over to her brother as the hallway emptied.
"Hey, Trin. Can I steal my brother for a minute?" Trinity looked Bra up and down with a sneer before strutting off. Bra had never gotten along with her.
"What's wrong with Marron?" Trunks asked his sister, looking towards the double door that Marron left from. Bra snorted. 'Men can be so slow!' She thought to herself.
"We'll get to that in a minute. Trunks, what are you doing with Trinity?" Bra asked as she crossed her arms in irritation. Trunks just smiled, knowing that his relationship with Trinity bothered Bra.
"Just having a little fun. She and I met at the party on Saturday and she…" Bra held up her hand to stop her brother.
"That was a rhetorical question. I know by now that you've had all the fun she can offer. I think that you should break up with her." Bra huffed with a Vegeta-like scowl. Rage filled Trunks' handsome face.
"You know, I didn't ask you to come over and meddle in my life, Bra. I will date whoever I want, and right now, I want to date Trinity." Trunks crossed his arms, looked down his nose and smiled smugly. Bra shrugged and flipped her hand slowly.
"Fine." Trunks started to walk away in triumph. "She did it because of you; to answer your question." Bra finished, knowing that she had won the war. Trunks looked as if someone had punched him in the gut as he turned to face her.
"What?" He hissed at her.
"You're smart. Figure it out." She walked off and left him in the abandoned hallway. 'Was she talking about Maz?' He wondered.
The bell for the next class rung, but Trunks didn't budge from his spot. It couldn't be. Marron couldn't' possibly like him…could she? Trunks quickly ran towards the double doors and rushed to find Marron.
Marron ran out to her car and threw her books into the back seat, where they piled up messily. She turned the ignition as fast as she could and started driving. She didn't have a particular place to go to, so she just drove without any purpose. Tear flowed down her cheeks and she sobbed like she had never before. It was a guttural, heart wrenching, body shaking wail that she couldn't stop no matter how hard she tried. Her heart felt like a shredder had gotten a hold of it and wouldn't let go. She wished that she had never met Trunks Vegeta Briefs. All she wanted to do was go back to a time when she was happy, but it was difficult to push past the grief and remember when that had been. Finally, she mustered up her most recent memory.
Trunks looked around the parking lot for Marron's car first, but it wasn't anywhere to be found. Where could she have gone?
Bra walked out of school with a mild concern for her brother and friend. She had seen Marron's frantic look and embarrassed tears. Frankly, if Bra had seen Goten in a similar situation, she would have felt the same way. She walked over to Pan's car where Pan and Uub were kissing passionately. Bra rolled her eyes. If she had her license, she wouldn't put up with her friends' public displays of affection. Some people just couldn't help but be rude.
Dusk was started to come and Trunks hadn't found any sign of Marron. He had searched the entire city and even had called her home. Thankfully, Master Roshi had picked up and promised not to mention a word to Juu and Krillin. Trunks ran a hand through his silky, lavender hair. He had searched her favorite stores, shops, and restaurants. He had even flown over West City, looking for her anywhere. His gut flip-flopped in worry for her. What was she thinking? Why had she run off? Was Bra right? Did Marron like him? Trunks forced the thoughts from his mind and focused on his quest.
Finally, an idea came to him. It was a slim chance that she would be there, but he wasn't sure where else he could find her. It was worth a shot, so he flew outside of the city to a deserted, grassy spot and found Marron's car there. He landed, surveying the scene, wondering where she could have possibly gone off to. This place looked so strange without the lights, sounds, and rides. Only a few weeks ago, this place had been covered by a carnival.
After a few minutes, he found Marron doubled over in a bundle, shivering and crying in the cool, night air.
"Marron?" Trunks called, but she didn't budge. He slowly sauntered next to her and placed his arms around her shoulders. "Oh, Marron. What's wrong?" He whispered in her ear. She shivered and he rubbed her arms for warmth.
"Leave me alone!" She wailed as she tried to shrug his arm off, but he held on more firmly. Trunks tenderly pulled the wisps of hair from her angelic face. She brought her fingers up to her mouth and chewed on her nails.
Suddenly, it hit him. A strong emotion that tugged on his heartstrings. He felt her pain because it was in him too. Being with Trinity had only been a childish ruse. Trinity was just a replacement for the strong bond that Trunks held with Marron.
"Don't cry, Maz." Marron turned away from him in hurt. She hated the sound of his voice! He didn't know what he was doing to her. It turned her insides into mush and all she wanted was to hate him. "Don't you get it?" he asked with tears forming in his blue eyes.
Marron turned to look into his eyes and saw all of his emotions swirling there. She immediately threw her arms around him and sobbed into his strong shoulder, only this time, it was in happiness. He rubbed her back soothingly with a smile.
"What you two did was disgraceful!" Principal Yamagata sternly said. Trunks and Marron sat in his office, receiving a tongue-lashing from their principal for skipping school without permission.
"Sorry." Marron uttered humbly.
"Yeah, sorry." Trunks hesitantly said.
"Now, I should be giving you a suspension, but since this is the first time either of you has done this, you two will get off with a week of detention. The two nodded somberly, repressing the joy that they felt inside. That meant they would get to spend everyday with each other for an entire week.
Both set of their parents had grounded them for skipping school and said that they couldn't spend anytime with the other for a few weeks. Really, they both knew that their parents didn't know how they felt about their relationship. Juu and Krillin were worried about the much more 'worldly' Trunks' influence on their pure daughter.
Marron and Trunks had spent much of the night on the beach of Kame Island, looking at the stars. Trunks didn't want her parents to have the wrong impression of his intentions for their daughter. He really wanted to treat Marron with honor. She was much different than any other girl he had ever dated. He had even beseeched her parents for permission to date their daughter, but Juu and Krillin still hadn't given him an answer. For now, Trunks was content just to spend time with Marron, knowing that the time would come for them to be 'official.'
Marron was taken aback the night that Trunks had found her out at the carnival grounds. It was that night that they shared their first kiss and second date. Marron found comfort in his muscular arms and warm body. She was sure that a beautiful relationship was ahead of them.
Trunks and Marron walked out of the office and stood in front of the door.
"See you after school?"
"I'll be there." Marron stood on her toes and laid a tender, short kiss on his lips.
There you have it. Hope you enjoyed my little story about Trunks and Marron. Reviews are nice!
