A/N: Hi there :). Phew, it's been awhile, huh? Lol, I think this thing has been on Hiatus for the past four months. Oops :/. G-I-G-A-N-T-I-C apologies to those of you who reviewed or added this thing on Story Alert. I hit a rough patch a little while back and had zero confidence regarding my fanfictions (as anyone who has read Without Warning will know ;) XD) and got writer's block. So, I literally did not finish this chapter until about 5 minutes ago. I know - it's that sad :'(. Ideally, it was supposed to be out for Valentine's Day but that plan crashed and burned before it even got off the ground :/.
So, here it is, four months later - your Valentine's Day chapter XD!!!
Enjoy!

Hey Trunks!
Happy Valentine's Day! I know you probably thought it was just your family and Goten taking part in this whole letter writing thing, but I persuaded them to let me have a go.
So…How've you been? It's really weird not having you around. Mind you, the gang don't really get together very often anymore. It's often your parents having a go at Goten's for never visiting, rather than your parents and mine. It's okay – don't worry. We get together with Yamcha a lot. He's doing good, by the way.
Valentine's Day again, then? Wow. Do you remember two years ago? When that crazy girl from your English class was crushing on you? You asked me if I'd pretend to be your girlfriend, just so she'd stop stalking you! It was so hilarious, especially when my mom thought we were actually dating! And then, she called your mom and accused you of being a pervert and your mom and mine got into a massive argument and didn't talk for like, three months!
That was so awkward at the time, but at least we can laugh about it now, right? Yeah, good times. Your sister and Tommy are still dating, by the way. She asked me to tell you. She said she would write but she's busy or something. She also wishes you had email. I'll admit, I sort of got a bit rude towards her then. If you were answering your email, we'd be able to find you.
I hope you're not mad at me for it. I know how you are with your sister. It makes me wonder how you'd be with a girlfriend. Knowing you, I'd say the possessive type. The kind that actually appreciates their girlfriend and takes care of them. Still, what would I know? It's not like I'm your girlfriend.
I was going to cross out that last bit, but I figure, what the hell? Maybe you'll never come home so maybe you'll never read this.
Sorry, pessimism. I think I get it from both my parents. Ugh, things are so boring around here without you and Goten being all crazy and pulling pranks. You guys will never grow up, will you? I hope not. Life's way more exciting! Goten's been boring these past few months, he doesn't really do anything anymore. Guess it's just not the same without you.
I've tried going to all the old spots with him but it just wasn't right. At least that's what he told me. I swear, it's so difficult being the only human of us! Pan and Bra have each other and they are a little young anyway. Then there's you guys; way more fun but I guess I fit in the little sister category too, right? Thought so.
Still, Goten's got Valese now. Oops. I wasn't supposed to tell you. He was saving it for his letter. I'll let him get on and write it now. He's bugging me for the pen. Why he can't just type it, I don't know!
Hopefully, you'll be back soon and we can talk in the flesh.
I'd like that.

S'up, buddy?
I'm sorry about the last letter, man. I didn't mean to get angry at you. I just…wanted you there, I guess. Things were hard and they don't seem to be getting any better. Still, I'm not gonna get into all that. It is me, after all. Your happy-go-lucky best friend, or at least that's what you used to call me.
In general, though, life's been pretty sweet. I met a girl! Oh yeah, sure. Just roll your eyes like that then, why don't you? Jerk. Nah, seriously, man. I think she might be…It!
Her name's Valese and she is totally hot! My mom adores her (of course!) and she's already tryna get us thinking about marriage. I was a little bit scared, to be honest. Now I know how Gohan felt when he got together with Videl!
But, I mean, his life turned out okay, right? He had a daughter with her, for Kami's sake! I never was the brains of the ole' Son family, but I still reckon I could give Valese a pretty good life.
Jeez, look at me! I'm sure you're pissing yourself with laughter right now, aren't you? Yeah, I don't blame you, Trunks. Who would've thought that a Casanova like me coulda been tamed, huh? Okay, you know what? Just forget that whole 'Casanova' thing. I'd rub it out if I wasn't using ink. Oops. Like I said, never was the brainy one.
Damn though, Trunks. If it brought you back here, I'd let you read that 'Casanova' comment until you were crying with laughter, man. Everybody misses you. It's coming up for a year in August, you know that? Of course you do.
Have you got a Valentine this year? Is that where you are? Off showing her the world? I hope so, man. Gotta be better than the alternatives these Private Investigators your mom hires are coming up with.
Anyway, I gotta go. I've got a date with Valese in like, ten minutes. I hope you're happy that you're the only one who could ever get me to make my girlfriend wait!
Oh! And, one more thing…
If she's hot, bring her home!
Goten
A/N: So...what'd you guys reckon? A short chapter, I know. I'm still trying to ease myself back into this fic and, to be honest, I couldn't really think of any other characters who would actually have anything insightful to say on Valentine's Day.
And yes, while I do think that Trunks didn't get together with either of them, I do prefer TrunksxMarron to TrunksxPan. HOWEVER, before you guys huff and think 'screw this fic' there will be no TrunkxAnybody in this fic, okay? I get the impression that, being about Bra's age, Pan sees Trunks as an older brother figure and that Marron (and I am deploying some creative licence here) would probably have sort of the unrequited crush, being a bit older and all. But it has been awhile since I actually saw any of the episodes in full so, if I'm wrong, don't shoot!!!
Still, that is all for now. Huge thanks and loves to everyone who reviewed or added me on Story Alert for the last chapter ^_^. I hope I haven't lost you guys or made this chapter too disappointing. Next chapter will be...who know's when? I'm gonna see how this one plays out before I make any decisions. Also, if anyone can think of any other major holidays, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET ME KNOW! I haven't really put much thought into annual holidays and it's bugging me like hell wondering what my next chapter could be about!!! So, pretty please PM or Review if you have any ideas whatsoever :).
That's all for now then, folks!
Speak soon! ^-^
Love Racy
