Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Holding On ❯ 16 ( Chapter 16 )

AN) Sorry it's been so long, I've had some personal stuff to deal with lately. I hope you like this chapter. I plan to have the next one out soon (I mean it this time! I've already started to write it)

"This is so, so stupid! stupid, Stupid, STUPID!" She muttered the litany to herself as she ran lightly up the staircase and hurried down the upstairs hall. She wasn't cut out for this sort of thing. Intrigue was beyond her. Underhandedness made her stomach churn.

She pressed herself up against the wall and listened. It didn't sound like anyone was nearby. Faintly she heard the executive elevator and sighed, dismissing it as Trunks just returning to his office after lunch.

She mentally went through her checklist to make sure the path was clear. Vegeta was probably training or something, he was never near this part of the house during the day anyways. Mirai, Marron, and Bulma would probably be in the lab, and Trunks was probably at his office by now. Bra? She was probably off on a rendevu with Pan's uncle.

Slipping through the narrow doorway her eyes searched the room. "Now where would I keep my capsules if I had any to hide?" She pondered.

Quickly she began to search his room, pulling opened drawers and checking under their content. A blush stained her cheeks as she searched through his underwear drawer. Hey, those capsules could be anywhere! She sighed in aggravation after searching the dresser, closet, coat pockets, pants pockets, and even the bookshelf. That damned Capsule box was nowhere to be found. She was almost done searching through Mirai's room too.

She glanced around speculating. It had to be somewhere.

Her eyes glanced around the room again, looking for perhaps a loose floorboard. She was at the point of frustration we all get caught up in sometimes when looking for something that we know is there, but can't find. Her searching eyes narrowed slightly again as she caught sight of the bed.

Gently she tiptoed to it's side and in a split second dropped on her hands and knees, as if expecting the capsule box to hop up on legs and run away if it somehow knew she was close to finding it's hiding spot. Unfortunately the only thing she found underneath the bed was a crumpled up sweater and a lone shoe.

Frustrated beyond belief she grabbed a hold of the nightstand and stood up, freezing suddenly as if she had heard the door behind her open. But no, the door was not what had caused her to freeze so suddenly. In fact the door was still closed and she was still alone in the room.

Her eyes captured the piece of furniture where her hand lingered, her fingers tracing lightly across the wood. Tentatively she slid the drawer open, a huge smile spreading across her features.

There, next to a pair of sunglasses and a phone directory was the object she had been searching for. The small silver box gleamed from the florescent light above them. Carefully she popped the lid open and smiled. There was the capsule she craved, the one she needed.

She grabbed the small capsule and closed the drawer, briefly surveying the room to make sure she left nothing out of place. Everything seemed to be in order.

Satisfied with her accomplishment she skipped over to the window and took off in the air, happiness was all she was capable of feeling, she didn't even notice the figure take off shortly after her. Pan Son was flying home, with a time machine capsule planted firmly in her grasp.

**********************************************

Tru nks exited the gravity room, ignoring his father's insults. He had enough on his mind right now, he especially didn't need to hear Vegeta point out how he hadn't trained in too long, and how he'll never compare to Mirai.

Trunks walked across the narrow strip of land in an attempt to reach the kitchen and cool down when a slight movement from his peripheral vision caught his attention.

He turned his head and frowned. A petite figure with raven hair was flying away from Capsule Corps. And Trunks knew of only one female with black hair with the ability to fly. 'What was Pan doing here?'

Now Trunks was naturally curious by nature, but at the same time he had just walked away from training with his father, which left him more then exhausted.

Ignoring the fact that he was missing a shirt and that it was just starting to rain again Trunks took off in the air after her, making a slight change of course and a shortcut through a park he landed at her house shortly before her.

Trunks needed to have a little talk with the youngest member of the Son family. And he wasn't going to let her ignore him this time either. No not Trunks Briefs.



************************************************

Bra landed on the lawn of Capsule Corps 2 minutes after her brother took off after Pan. But she didn't notice any of that. She didn't even notice the look of surprise on her fathers face as he stepped out of the gravity room and bore witness to his daughter flying. The only thing Bra noticed was the door, and as soon as she was inside the only thing she noticed was Bulma's lab.

Bra walked in and froze; a look of puzzlement crossed her features. In front of her were Marron and her mother, both frozen from apparent shock? When neither of them moved or even seemed to notice she was there she raised her hand and snapped her fingers, which successfully snapped them out of their trance.

'That was odd' they all thought at the same time, all though each for different reasons.

"Mom? Marron? Why do you both look like you saw a ghost? And where is Mirai? Did he wake up? Is he ok?"

Bulma shook her head from the onslaught of question her daughter was throwing at her. 'What the hell was that? Why did Mirai kiss Marron?' she thought, shaking her head and glancing at the blonde as if expecting her to read her thoughts and answer.

Bra growled low in her throat, hating to be ignored. Forgetting her original reason for returning home she questioned again, this time Marron. "Marron where is Mirai?"

Marron, recovering from a daze and trying to recall exactly what happened scrunched her brow. "I think he went to his office. Or rather.to Trunks' office."

".." Bra was now about as puzzled as the other two women occupying the room.

Bulma frowned "So apparently he awoke and now thinks he is our Trunks? Oh and what about Marron? He kissed her!" Bulma thought outloud, trying to figure out exactly what was going on with his mind.

Both blue-haired women turned to stare at Marron who was now just standing there with a small blush staining the bridge of her nose and spreading quickly across her cheeks.

"Details?" Bra coaxed with an eager smile.

"He just said he'd see me after work, called me honey, and then kissed me! What am I supposed to do now?"

"Humor him?" Bulma offered. Marron's eyes grew wide and she shook her head.

"No! No way! We don't know how long it will take to fix the cure! I am not going to pretend to like him, much less date him! No way!"

"Marron! You have too! Everyone already agreed to play along with whatever fantasy world he woke up thinking about! Please!"

"No! Yesterday he hated me with a passion! And I shared that hatred! Why should I help him! I will help with the cure, but I am not going to pretend to like him"

"Oh yes you are! Come on Marron! It won't be that hard. Just think of it as putting those great acting skills from High school to use!" Bra chimed in. "Please!"

Marron grumbled under her breath. Oh great.fine fine.no way she was going to get out of this one. Maybe she could lie and tell him she's going to leave town to visit someone and then come back when they find the cure. No. He'd probably just insist on going with her. Damn it.how was she going to get out of this one? And another question.Did she really want to get out of it?

**********************************************

Mirai reclined in his designer work chair (Or should I say in GT Trunks' designer chair?). After coming to the office to discover a missing secretary he felt a little annoyed, but the thought of Marron made his day brighten.

He was finally going to marry her! It was a week until the wedding, and he couldn't wait. There were no cold feet for him, he just felt like he had been waiting his entire life for this moment. And right now he didn't want to wait any longer.

When he had woken up in that lab and seen her angelic face above his he prayed to Dende that he was unconscious the whole week and today was their wedding. But not every wish gets answered.

He had waited 6 weeks (Or in his mind they had been engaged for 6 weeks), What was one more week? Other than torture? A long lasting pain?Ttoo much time?

Perhaps it was a good thing he still had a week until the wedding. There was still one arrangement he had to prepare for. The honeymoon!

Marron and his mother had been planning the actual wedding for weeks on end, but he told her not to worry about the honeymoon. That was his job!

Now the only question left was where should they go? To be perfectly honest he had no idea what sort of wedding she had imagined, or what sort of dream vacation she wanted afterwards.

But one person might know about Marron's childhood fantasies and what she imagined to be the perfect wedding.. And he had just decided to go ask that person for advice.

After all.She was going to be his mother in law, he might as well have a little chat with her.

With no final thoughts Mirai, ignoring the rain flew out the window in the direction a small island near bye. It was time to talk to Marron's mother.

**************************************************

An) Ok I know I'm pretty evil. For those of you who don't know what's going on, Mirai woke up and now thinks he's engaged to Marron (although Marron thinks he only thinks they're dating). Bulma, Bra, and Marron are the only ones who know he's woken up. Pan has flown back to her house with the time machine, but she doesn't know that Trunks is there waiting for her! Goten is still in that field getting wet from the rain.

Next chapter: Will Bra remember her original question (have they ever been to that river valley)? Will Goten let Bra know he saw her fly? Will Marron find out that Mirai thinks they're engaged? What does Pan plan to do? And what does Trunks plan to do to stop her? And how does Marron's mother react when Mirai shows up and asks where to take Marron on their honeymoon? All this and more in the next chapter!
