Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Holding On ❯ 17 ( Chapter 17 )

Oh yeah, for the person who brought up the point that Mirai should actually be older then Trunks because the disease had already destroyed his world and had yet to show up in this one.. well um (*Author struggles to think of someway to cover her mistake up with a stupid but plausible reason*) well you're right. Mirai should be older but um.I guess I'll have to go fix that. Thanks for letting me know. If anyone else sees a small or huge mistake ^_^ please let me know!

Sorry I haven't written in a while.hectic holidays with tons of relatives and friends living with you doesn't allow much time to type at the computer. Sigh.here's the chapter



***last chapter

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 taking off shortly after her. Pan Son was flying home; a time machine capsule planted firmly in her grasp.

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.

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

Trunks walked into the vacant house and looked around. It still seemed in normal order since Pan's parents left for their cruise. It just seemed dark and dreary, like it was missing something. "Where's Pan?" he wondered aloud.

Trunks glanced out the window and observed Pan landing nearby and dashing towards the door. He quickly sidestepped as the door was slammed open and barely missed smacking his face against the wall.

He stood silently as she stormed into the kitchen, completely unaware that someone was walking slowly towards her. She took a pen and scribbled a quick note on a piece of paper before dashing out the side door to the kitchen and out to the back of the house.

Puzzled, Trunks traced her steps to the table and found a small yellow 'Post-it' note with Pan's unmistakable handwriting scrawled across it. Trunks slowly read the note, reading over it a second and third time to make sure his vision wasn't failing him.

Dear everyone,

I know this may come as some sort of shock but I have made a decision. It is my fault that things are the way they are. I have gone back in time with Mirai Trunks's time machine to warn everyone and help with making the cure. I hope I can set things right again.

Wish me luck,

Pan

He crushed the note in his grip and took off after Pan. He still couldn't sense her Ki, but he did see her at the side of the house. He ran after her and stopped a few feet away.

She had already opened the capsule and stepped up to grab a hold of the entrance handle.

"Pan"

The name floated in space and silence, causing him to take another step forward and her to become tense and grip the handle tighter.

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

Marr on 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?

Marron stared at the two eager girls. They had the same blue hair and the same unmistakable air of determination. There was no way either of them would let her get out of this.

"Fine." She mumbled under her breath.

Bulma gave a sigh of relief and muttered a quick thanks to Dende before turning. "Then I will work on the cure alone. You don't have to do anything serious Marron, just keep him away from the lab and don't let him get suspicious."

Marron looked at Bra for sympathy but only found the blue-haired devil smiling with mischief. 'Oh no.' she thought. 'The last thing I need is Bra reading too much into this.'

Marron walked out of the lab and towards her room. The words of Mirai were echoing through her mind. 'I'll see you tonight honey.'

What was she supposed to do now? If she went to her apartment in town she wouldn't be here at all to help Bulma with the cure, but if she stayed here she would have to deal with seeing him all the time. It was official now. She was supposed to keep Mirai from getting suspicious. That meant away from the lab and unfamiliar things.

The facts of the matter were that she wanted to be safe. If she went to her apartment there was no way to guarantee that he wouldn't want to stay the night with her. And if she stayed here.well lets face it Capsule corps. Is pretty damn big.

That left one place.

Her parent's house. As much as she despised the idea of bothering them and being around that pervert, Master Roshi, it was the only safe place she could go without worrying of going too far with Mirai.

'Note to self, I'm going to have to have to start calling him Trunks instead of Mirai. Oh and I'm going to have to warn the real Trunks to stay away for awhile.'

Marron walked out of Capsule corps with a checklist implanted in her mind. First: Ask her mother if she could stay there for a while. Second: Find Trunks and warn him to stay away. Third: somehow spread the word to everyone about Mirai's chosen mental state without causing too much attention and letting him catch wind of it. And fourth: find Mirai Trunks and spend some 'quality time' with him.

She had a lot to do. And she was dreading every minute of it. Or at least that's what she kept reminding herself she should be doing. Truth for all, she was actually looking forward to the challenge. Or perhaps she was just looking forward to spending time with someone.

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

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

An unsuspecting Juuachigou was in the kitchen putting away groceries. (Sorry, I couldn't think of anything else for her to be doing.). What reason would she have to suspect that Mirai had awoken and taken it upon him to believe he was engaged to her daughter? Why would she even imagine that he was flying to the island this moment to ask about honeymoons?

Well she may not of had any idea about those things, but they were occurring this very moment. As soon as Mirai set foot on the island he smiled and walked up to the house.

He opened the door and walked to the kitchen. "Hello Juuachigou"

Marron's mother turned and faced Mirai with wide eyes. The last time she heard about him he hated her and her daughter, and then he fell unconscious with that dreaded disease. But now, now he was standing, very awake and alert, in her kitchen.with a smile on his face?

Something was definitely wrong with that picture.

"I didn't hear you knock." She offered as an explanation to being startled in her normal monotone voice.

"Why would I knock?" he asked gently. "We're practically family."

Juuachigou knew for sure that something was wrong now. She remembered that Bulma warned everyone that he wouldn't be himself when.and if.he woke up. And if she knew anything right now, she knew he was definitely not acting normal.

Bulma's voice rang through her mind as Juuachigou remembered that they were supposed to play along, and not confuse him no matter what.

"Why don't we sit down? Are you looking for Krillin? Or Marron?" she asked, sitting across from him at the table.

Trunks glanced around cautiously and smiled. No one else was around. "Well actually I was looking for you. I figured since you and Marron have been working so much on the wedding, you might be able to help me. I'm supposed to make arrangements for the honey moon next week and I thought you might have some ideas."

Juuachigou stared at the lavender-haired demi-Saiyan with an unreadable look. Then again, she barely ever showed much emotion.

"Wedding?" she asked after a moment. 'What the hell is this boy talking about? Why didn't Bulma call me and warn me he was awake and coming over here.'

Trunks raised an eyebrow. "Yes, my marriage to your daughter. It's still going as planned right? The caterers didn't cancel again? I know we've had to postpone the wedding twice because we can't find caterers to host so many people, a few with Saiyan appetites. We're getting married on Saturday, with or without food."

Juuachigou stared at the boy with concern for a moment, before the emotion passed and her face turned back to its normal statue like grace.

"We might have to postpone it, I have to go over a few things with Marron and Bulma before it's set in stone."

Trunks sighed and ran a hand through his hair, briefly wondering how he let it grow so long. "Well do you know where Marron might want to go?"

"Why don't you ask me?" a voice came behind him. If Trunks were writing this he would have described the voice as if it were singing a song, because it happened to belong to his blonde fiancé. His blonde clueless fiancé.

Trunks turned and looked at Marron as if he was a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar. If Marron hadn't been distracted she might have thought it was cute. But at the moment she was a woman on a mission.

"Marron it's nice to see you." Her mother said with a kindness she reserves solely for her daughter and husband.

"Well I should leave." He said getting up and kissing Marron on the forehead.

"I will talk to you later Juuachigou." He said with a smile. "Have fun working on the wedding plans."

"W.wedding plans?" Marron stuttered glancing at her mother and then Trunks.

"Yeah, to think this Saturday you will be Mrs. Trunks Briefs. My wife."

"W.wife?" she squeaked in puzzlement.

"Well I better get back to work before mother notices I'm gone. But then again I only have to mention I was checking on my wife and she'll be distracted with the thought of grandchildren."

"CH.children?" this time it was both Marron and her mother that spoke.

"I will see the two of you later." He whispered to Marron. "I love you" His hand briefly passed over her stomach where he had the wild idea that she was holding their unborn child.

He walked out of the house and flew back to work, planning on calling a travel agent as soon as he reached his office.

Inside the kitchen Marron and her mother stood side-by-side in puzzlement. "I need to sit down."

Juuachigou sat beside her daughter and sighed. "I'm guessing you just found out about this too?"

"Why was he over here?" asked Marron cautiously.not quite sure if she wanted to know the answer.

"To check on wedding plans, make sure the wedding wouldn't be postponed because of caterers again, and to ask where you would want to go on your honeymoon."

Marron knocked her head against the table and groaned. "This Saturday he is going to expect us to be married, and less than 9 months from now he will expect a child. What am I supposed to do NOW?"



An) Ok, so I know I'm evil. I just came up with the pregnant thing today, but the rest has been planned since the beginning. Originally I was going to have the T/P get together this chapter, but I decided to save it for next because I sort of lost the file I typed it up on.

Sorry I haven't written in so long, but school starts tomorrow and I always have more time to write then because I write the chapter in study hall (no talking grrr) and then type it up at home.
