Chapter 8 ‘ Insulted and Injured’  

 

   The next morning Marron woke up she found that she was still in Trunks’ arms with a bag of warm water on her jaw. She tried to escape from his grip but found it useless, so she came up with a plan. She called Matlock over and he licked Trunks’ face. Trunks rolled over, grabbing Matlock in his arms instead of Marron. She stood up.

   "I owe you one." she whispered. Then she walked to her room and lightly shook Kali. "Hey get dressed and I’ll take you to school and we’ll pick up some food on the way."

   "Be ready in 5 minutes." Kali jumped into action.

   "I’ll be outside." Marron grabbed some clothes walked out of the room. After changing she made her way to the kitchen. But not before making a pit stop to kiss Trunks on the cheek. *He looks so innocent when he sleeps. To bad he’s really not.* She laughed as she thought this.

   "No mom, I didn’t miss a meeting to" she couldn’t decipher the rest of what he had said; it was in his made up language.

   She laughed as she scribbled something on a piece of paper. Then Kali emerged from her room and they walked out to Marron’s car.

   "SWEET!!!!" Kali exclaimed.

   " I know." Marron said jumping in and staring it up. After lowering the roof, they tore out of there.

   *****

   When Marron came back she carried 4 bags full of breakfast food up to her room. After fighting with the keys, she threw 2 bags at each of the guys. As soon as the smell of food reached their noses, they sprang to life.

   "Gee, thanks for getting us breakfast." Goten said as he inhaled 4 sausage biscuits.

   "No prob. I dropped Kali off at school, and I hafta got there like right now. So see you 2 later. Don’t destroy the place, please." she said, grabbing her books and running out the door.

   As she was driving in her car she picked up her cell phone and dialed her own home number. Trunks picked up.

   "Hey there. Me and Kali were going to catch a movie this afternoon. We wanted to know if you wanted to go with us. I would have asked this morning but I had no time to."

   "Let me ask."

   She listened to Trunks tell Goten what the plan was. "Only if you drive." Goten shouted. Marron laughed. "Ok." she told him. "I’ll come pick you up when school is out."

   "Ok. See you later then." Trunks told her. "Love ya."

   "Love you too. Bye." Marron pressed the end button on her phone and put it back in her purse.

   *****

   "Hey Kali, put your bag in the trunk and lets get going." Marron said as  they pulled to a stop in front of Kali’s school.

   "Give me one sec." Kali smiled wide then she turned back to her friends.

   Trunks turned up the radio and he and Goten started to sing to the song and head bang even though it wasn’t one of those songs.

   "NO! NO!" Marron laughed.

   "Hey baby, why don’t you come and sit next to a real guy." a unfamiliar voice told Marron.

   She turned and saw the guy that had been sitting in the truck behind them.  She smiled. "Good idea." she scooted closer and wrapped her arm around Trunks. "Thanks for the suggestion."

   The guy snorted and walked back to his truck to wait for his brother.

   Kali closed the trunk and jumped in beside Goten. Marron turned around. "Hey Kali, who’s the guy behind us."

   Kali glanced back then replied. "Oh that’s Jeff and his big brother James."

   "Wanna give ‘em our official kiss off?"

   "Uh huh."

   Marron reeved up her engine then the 2 of them stood up, kissed their  hands, blew the kiss, then Marron floored it, leaving James and Jeff dazed  and Goten and Trunks confused.

   "I thought you were my girl." Trunks whined.

   "I am. It’s just something we girls hafta do." Marron laughed. "Right Kali?"

   "Yeah!!!" Kali screamed throwing her hands up in the air.

   Trunks and Goten finished the rest of the song that was on then Trunks turned down the radio.

   "You like our song?" he laughed.

   "Yeah? Did ya?"Goten mimicked.

   "It was just gorgeous. It reminded me of what kind of danger I am getting into with this relationship."

   "Hey you want to hear another one?" Goten asked excitedly.

   "No. 1 is plenty for me." Marron said.

   "What do you think?" Trunks asked Kali.

   "I must agree with her."

   "Man."Goten snapped his finger.

   "You know you can show your mom your new found talent tonight. I’m sure she’ll be proud and so will your dad." Trunks teased.

   "Well what about you 2?" Goten asked.

   Trunks wrapped his arm around Marron. "Don’t worry about us." he said slyly.

   "Hey, uh Goten, wanna spend another night?" Marron quickly asked.

   "No thanks."

   "Well I was just wondering because I was thinking about when I could throw that party and I need help planning it out. Trunks and I will be working on it and we want your input."

   "I’ll call you. We can conference, Trunks is good at that." Goten chuckled.

   Trunks sent him an evil glare.

   Marron pulled into a spot and closed the roof.

   "So what movie are we going to see?" Kali asked as she skipped in front of the 3 adults.

   "I don’t really care. You guys got any preferences?"

   "Legal Murders!" Goten and Trunks exclaimed in unison. Then Trunks looked at Kali. "Wait, what’s it rated?"

   "R, but with 3 20 years olds she’ll be able to get in. But wait, maybe it’s only because you really don’t want to see it." Marron giggled.

   "No, I want to see it. I just don’t want Kali to have nightmares."

   "Oh how sweet, but nothing is near as scary as seeing my brother eat."

   "Then apparently haven’t seen us eat."

   "I’ve seen. They aren’t that bad." Marron proclaimed.

   "You haven’t seen our real appetites. They are enormous." Goten smiled.

   Marron walked up to the ticket counter and payed ro the 4 tickets.

   "Ok here’s the deal. I’ll pay for mine and Kali’s fill and you pay for your own." Marron announced.

   "Sounds good to me. Hey Trunks, got any money, I am broke." Goten smiled his best ‘Your-my-best-friend- in-the-entire-world’ smile.

   They all entered and got in the snack bar line. Marron and Kali got their food and then stood aside and watched as the other 2 got almost 3 of everything each.

   "Ready?" Marron asked trying not to laugh.

   "Only if I could see." Trunks laughed.

   "Me too." Goten added.

   Marron grabbed his hand as Kali did Gotens and they lead them to the theater.

   *****

   "That was the coolest movie EVER!!!!!!!" Kali exclaimed as they emerged from the theater and started walking toward the car.

   "My favorite part was the escape from the underwater prison. The special effects in that part were awesome."

   "Oh and the lead actor was just dreamy!" Goten squeaked in a high pitched girly voice.

   "I MUST agree!" Trunks added waving his hands all around.

   Marron and Kali burst out laughing. Before Kali or Goten knew what happened, Marron was on the ground. Trunks had tripped on the curb and grabbed onto Marron for balance. He regained his but she fell. Trunks helped her back up but she again fell. Marron held her ankle close and started to whimper. Trunks kneeled down to get a better look at it. Then he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the car.

   "Your gunna have that looked at." Trunks told her.

   "Only if someone else who can drive doesn’t ruin my car." Marron said holding the keys to his dream car in his face. Trunks sat his girlfriend down in the back seat and took the keys, afraid of what Goten might get them into. Then Kali jumped in beside Marron.

   "Here, this way you guys talk about what ever guys talk about and me and her will chat."

   Trunks started up the car and Kali started her conversation.

   "So what’s new in your life?" she asked.

   "Let’s see where to begin. Well I moved into a new apartment, dumped my Bryan, and while at dinner I met this really sweet guy. He and his friend helped me move in and helped my when I was getting my new dogs. Then my best girlfriend showed up at my door and the cute guys water pipe broke. Since his friend was staying with him and they could no longer
sleep there I had one big slumber party."

   "Well, fill me in on the details about this guy." Kali urged.

   Marron looked at the guys and smirked. They were concentrating on their conversation more than any thing else. They were even talking about two different subjects and responding like they cared.

   "Ummm, well he’s really strong, really cute, really funny, bright blue eyes, and knows how to act around a lady." She held back a laugh as Trunks’ ears flashed to bright red.

   Trunks turned down the radio, and pulled to a stop at the light.

   Kali leaned forward. "So anything interesting happen in your lives lately?"

   Trunks and Goten turned and looked at each other.
