Marron waited patiently on a bench
at Tsuki park. She hoped Trunks wouldn't come. She was so nervous being
there. At that
place. At Tsuki park. [Why do I have
to be here? In Tsuki park?] she thought. [I deserve it though. I...]
"Hello Marron-chan. Thanks for coming."
Marron looked up and saw Trunks.
He looked a little...different. There was something. She just couldn't
place her finger on it. Trunks wasn't his usual self. There was something...
"No trouble at all, Trunks-kun. So
what do you want to talk to me about?" Marron asked.
"P-Pan broke up with me..." Trunks
said. Marron gasped.
"I'm so sorry!" she said.
"She fell in love with some other
guy." Trunks explained.
"Daijobu?" Marron asked.
"Well, pretty much..." Trunks said.
"So you need me for counseling or
something?" Marron asked.
"Well..." Trunks said as he sat down
next to Marron. He left only a few centimeters between them.
"What?" Marron asked.
"I..." Trunks leaned closer to Marron,
leaving only less than a few centimeters between them.
"Trunks-kun..." Marron whispered.
"What is it?" Trunks whispered back.
"Please...don't..." Trunks stopped
her with a kiss. It was soft at first but then as it got stronger, Trunks
broke it off.
"Don't what?" he asked.
"Kiss me..." Marron said. Their eyes
locked and neither could turn away. Then Marron blinked and slapped Trunks.
"What was that for?!" Trunks asked,
backing away.
"For making me fall in love with
you again!" Marron said.
"Why is that so bad?!" Trunks asked.
Marron stood up.
"Because we don't belong!" she said.
Trunks stood up.
"Why not?" he asked.
"You're destined for someone else!"
Marron said.
"But I...I love you..." Trunks said
softly.
"No you don't! Please...just stop
convincing yourself." Marron said.
"Why don't you stop denying yourself?"
Trunks asked.
"I'm not denying anything!" replied
Marron.
"You are. I love you because that's
the way it is." Trunks said.
"You love Pan, not me." Marron said,
looking down. Trunks gently lifted Marron's chin.
"The only one who's convincing anyone
is you. I've always had that place in my heart for you ever since the last
time we've been here.
"You remember?"
"Of course I do."
"But why do you love me?"
"Because we're perfect for each other."
"I..."
"We're destined for each other. Stop
denying it."
"Trunks-kun..."
Marron's eyes filled with tears but
she didn't bother to wipe them away. She smiled.
"Ai shiteru!" she said.
"I..." Trunks began to say. But then
Marron put her finger to his lips to stop him and shook her head.
"No words for now..." she whispered
as she kissed Trunks.
(Trunks) Words can't describe how
I feel about Marron. How I've felt about her for years. I have no idea
why I've been with Pan for so long. I liked her but she couldn't compare
with Marron. I guess I was desperate. But now I'm only desperate for one
thing. For her to say 'yes'.
"I don't really know what to say,
Trunks-kun. So many surprises happened since the first date." Marron said.
"Then don't say anything." Trunks
replied.
"I don't know whether I should kiss
you or kill you." Marron said.
"You know exactly what you want to
do." Trunks teased.
"Who said I wanted to kiss you."
Marron asked.
"Who said I said that? At least I
know what you want." Trunks said with mischievous eyes.
"Trunks no baka!" Marron yelled as
she started to chase Trunks.
"I'm going to kill you!" she said.
As she was running after Trunks, a gust of wind blew away her hat.
"Hey! My hat!" Marron said as she
went to the direction of her hat.
Trunks saw he wasn't being chased
anymore so he flew up to Marron.
"Why do you care so much about that
hat anyways?" Trunks asked.
"You look good without it."
"My otousan and okaasan gave it to
me when I graduated college."
"What for?"
"I liked it but I didn't have any
extra money to buy it. They bought it as a graduation present."
"That's why..."
"Are you just gonna fly like that
or what?"
"Yep."
Marron gave Trunks a death glare.
"Be aware that the third date will
be when I see your father in your mother's clothes." Marron said. When
Trunks heard this, he smashed into a tree. Marron ran faster.
"Baka." she said. Then a blur caught
her hat and Trunks appeared in front of Marron.
"Kyaah!" Marron yelled as she bumped
into Trunks. The impact made then both fall down to the ground. The fall
hurt Trunks but Trunks' body kept Marron from any injuries.
"Daijobu, Trunks-kun?!" Marron asked
frantically.
"Daijobu, Marron-chan." replied Trunks
with a grin.
"You baka!" Marron yelled.
"We still have a third date, ne?"
Trunks asked. Marron smiled.
"Iie." she said.
"But I got your hat!" Trunks whined.
"I'm gonna kill you first for being
such a baka-kun!" Marron said. Their eyes lock and Trunks gives Marron
a soft kiss. Marron stares at Trunks and then gives him another death glare.
"I'm still going to kill you." she
mumbled.
"Wait! Wait! Wait!" Trunks said.
He spotted a flower on the ground and remembered something. He plucked
the flower and waved it in Marron's face. Marron blushed as she took the
flower and her hat from Trunks. She got up and hmphed.
"Well, you got out of that one!"
she said as she brushed the dirt from her hat and put it back on. Trunks
stood up.
"Guess I was right." he said.
"What do you mean by that?" Marron
asked.
"Oh, nothing..."
Koi da! Panikku! It's Love! Panic!

"Decided you can't live without me,
ne?" Trunks asked. Marron smacked Trunks.
"Baka! It's a beautiful Sunday and
I'm all dressed to go out" Marron explained.
"Why don't you ask Goten" Trunks
joked.
"I intend to go on a date, not see
if I can fill up a bottomless pit!" Marron said, referring to Goten's appetite.
"But I eat as much as him." Trunks
pointed out.
"Goten's too nice to kill in case
my day goes bad." Marron said.
"Why don't you ask Ubuu? Don't you
like his trunks?" Trunks teased.
Marron stopped and blushed.
"Trunks no baka!" she yelled as she
smacked him once again.
"Fine! If you're just gonna be like
that then I WILL get another date!" Marron said, walking away.
"Hey! Hey! I'm just kidding!" Trunks
said as he followed Marron.
They continued walking together.
There was silence for a moment.
"But why don't you admit you love
me?" Trunks finally asked.
Marron blushed some more.
"'Cause I don't want to." she retorted.
"You already did. Can't you do it
again?" Trunks asked.
"No way you're gonna make me say
it." Marron replied.
"It's okay..." Trunks simply said.
"Well...maybe one of these dates..."
Marron said, looking up at Trunks. Then she smiled. [Don't hate me, Trunks-kun.
I love you but the word's just crazy.]

"Well?" Trunks said.
"Well what?" Marron asked.
"Y'know."
"If you're gonna ask me why I'm here
on this fourth date with you then forget it!"
"Don't you have something to say
to me?"
"Nope."
"... You must have SOMETHING to say."
"How about YOU?"
"Uh...me?! No! Nothin' at all! Except..."
"What?"
"Oh, nothing! Nothing!"
"Um...Trunks-kun...I DO have something
to say to you..."
"Honto?"
Marron nods.
"I want to tell you..."
"Yeah...?"
"To quit it with the stupid questions!"
"Heh?"
"Oh Dende! You're so pushy and annoying!"
"Well, I'm sorry but..."
"Isn't it good enough to know that
I feel that way about you?"
"Gomen nasai, Marron-chan."
(pause)
"Demo..." Marron stopped Trunks by
placing two fingers on his lips.
"Shh... That's enough."
Trunks looked at the sky then at
Marron. Her bottom lip was shivering.
"Hm? Are you cold, Marron-chan?"
he asked. Marron gave him a warm smile.
"Iie. Daijobu, Trunks-kun. I'm just
getting some chills." Marron said.
"From what?" asked Trunks. Marron
blushed and turned away.
"Nothing." she said. Then she looked
up at the beautiful blue sky.
"The sky is very beautiful today,
ne?" she asked, looking at Trunks.
"Like you..." Trunks whispered absentmindedly.
Marron stared at Trunks.
"Nani?" she asked. Trunks blushed
after remembering what he said.
"Nothin'! Nothin'!" he said nervously.
"It's a perfect day to get married.
But my otousan and okaasan would probably let me get married even on a
perfect day for a funeral."
"Well, now that you've mentioned
it...*hehe* um...who would you want to be by your side on a perfect wedding
day like this?"
"Well, a nice guy who cares about
me a lot. He should be older because I would want to marry someone mature.
But not that old. Maybe one or two years. Someone who's not the richest
guy in the world but has enough for a quite luxurious lifestyle.
I wouldn't want him to be working
all the time. I mean, what if I were having a baby? What if I wanted a
baby but he was too busy for that. Someone who's responsible, mature, loving,
caring, supporting, handsome and smart. I wouldn't want to treat him as
a servant, though. I want an equal romance."
"I'm sure you'll find him. He sounds
perfect. You'll find him soon."
Trunks turned away to hide his disappointment.
[But not in me...] he thought.
(Trunks) Well, I guess she'll never be mine. She doesn't want me. I'm twice the age limit. I'm the richest guy in the world! I might not be able to give her the baby she wants. I'm too busy doing work that I hate! I even work when I'm sick! The only way I made it to our dates was by running away. I guess I can just throw away the ring...
