Chapter 11 “Time for someone else to know’

  “Marron. There is someone here to see you. He says it is an emergency.” a voiced called over the intercom. Marron got up from her desk, grabbed her crutches and hobbled out the door.
  “TRUNKS?! What are you doing here?”
  “Marron, we need to talk.”
  “Ok. What’s wrong?”
  “You know how we planned to hold the party in the park on Friday?”
  “Yeah. So...”
  “Well mom has a meeting to go to. Some science convention or something.”
  “Is that the only problem?” Marron smirked.
  “Yeah. Goten’s family thinks he is paying for a full course meal and my family thinks we are going out to a movie.”
  “Well that’s not a problem. I can get your mom convinced. Is that all you needed?”
  “No.....uh....I am taking you home and I was wondering if you wanted to catch a movie with me tonight?”
  “Trunks..I can’t believe you.” she laughed. A worried smile formed across his face.
  “I’ll meet you outside and think of some place other than the movies for us to go to.”
  “Great.” He gave her a small kiss, opened the door for he and dashed off. Marron smiled, shook her head and made her way back to class.

  “Hey you 2!” Marron was welcomed by her dogs. Trunks sat in the door way and watched. It was quite late when they returned from their walk around the park 10 times. They had talked about everything.
  “You wanna stay here tonight?” Marron asked. “I’ll need your help getting around. I mean I have used it quite a bit lately.”
  “Yeah I guess.” he said watching her hobbled out of her room where she had laid down her stuff. He walked into her kitchen, cut the end off of her rose and stuck it in the vase with al the others.
  “Ok ok. Come on lets go get something to eat. You’ve got to be more hungry than I am.”
  “Great. Lets go. Forget about the car. I’m taking us for a flight.”
  “But what about my crutches?” Marron asked.
  “I CAN carry you. I’m not a weakling here.” Marron smiled. “Ok.” Trunks picked her up and they took off.

  “Trunks, I can’t believe you are making me miss a class to tell your momthis. It could have waited till after school.”
  “It’s ok.” he pressed a button on his desk.
  “Yes?” a female voice asked.
  “Mom, someone is here to tell you something.” Trunks replied.
  “Be right there.” Almost instantly the doors opened and Bulma walked in.  “Hi Marron. So how’s here?”
  “I have to tell you something.” Marron said. “It’s about Friday.”
  “Yes?”
  “Well Trunks, Goten, and I are throwing a party and well...it’s more of a reunion.” Marron started.
  “Yeah. Everyone you knew along time ago and were good friends with are going to be there. The entire Z gang and Marron’s parents are going to be there.” Trunks blurted out.
  “Did you find Krillin and #18? I haven’t heard from them in forever.”
  “Don’t worry mom. Their coming too.”
  “Well then, I will be there. The convention will hafta wait.”
  “But one thing. Please don’t tell anyone.” Marron pleaded.
  “Don’t worry. I won’t tell a soul.” Bulma said.
*****
 “Hey Goten.”
  “Trunks?! Man its been a long time since I last saw you. You excited about the party? Where have you at anyway?”
  “Yeah and I’m at Marron’s. Why?”
  “Cha-CHING!!! Go you!!!”
  “What do you mean? She’s asleep. She’s not feeling well. Hey Why did you ask where I was anyway?”
  “Well I have been calling your place. Nobody has been there.”
  “Oh. Well you should see her. She is so worried that this party won’t go the way that she is wanting it to.”
  “Well how doesn’t?” Goten asked.
  “No one, I hope. So everyone is coming on Friday right?”
  “I don’t know. You invited.”
  “No, you did.” Trunks said.
  “NO.”
  “Goten! I was getting the place and the food and you were to invite remember?”
  “Ooopppssss!!!!”
  “What are we going to do?” Trunks whimpered. “She’s going to kill me.”
  “What Ever! You’ll be spared. It’ll be my hide she’ll have.” Trunks looked down at his stirring girlfriend. “Hold on?” He put down the phone and started playing with Marron’s hair. She looked up at him.
  “Hey baby. Who can help us?”
  “Bulma.....” she mumbled.
  “Thanks darlin’.” he said as he kissed her forehead and picked up the phone.
  “We’ll tell my mom.”
  “NO! You can tell her. Anyway I hafta go. See you later. Bye.” Goten said as he hung up the phone. Trunks hung up the phone and Marron smiled at him.
  “Uh...we have a bit of a problem.”
  “Invitations? It’s taken care of. Everyone I invited is coming.”
  “Ok, good. But it is also supposed to rain.”
  “WHAT?! NO!”
  “Yeah.” Trunks said disappointedly. “But we’ll find someway to fix that. Don’t worry. Nothing is going to ruin tomorrow.”
*****
  “Bra, put mom on the phone.” Trunks pleaded.
  “Why?! What’s wrong?”
  “JUST PUT HER ON!!!!” Trunks exclaimed.
  “Hello?”
  “MOM?! Marron needs help. She hasn’t eaten and all she has done is sleep for 2 days and she has a very high fever.”
  “Hmmm, she isn’t supposed to get sick. Oh dear. I’ll be right over.”Bulma said slamming down the phone and running out the door. She knew that she had to hurry. An android isn’t supposed to get ill. Not even a half android. And she could tell that everyone in her family loved her. Trunks was the obvious one. Bra actually wanted to hang out with her and she wanted to hang out with Bra. And most surprising of all was Vegeta. He didn’t threaten to kill or kill her on first sight so that had to mean something.
