Trunks sat in his bedroom at Capsule Corp, Idly tapping his fingers on the top of his computer desk. "Why is it so hard, to choose between them." he yelled in frustration.. Trunks had to choose between two loves, One was the shy quiet type, very much to Trunks liking, Marron Chestnut was her name, She was blonde, beautiful..basically everything that Trunks was looking for in a girl. Marron and Trunks had been friends for quite awhile, and even began dating off and on since she had turned Eighteen, Eight years ago. "Marron, she would be the perfect choice, The obvious one, she'd make a good wife and all, but then there's.


Trunks face all the sudden turned beat red, his heart stated to race.. He picked up the Picture of his second choice, the sassy tomboy, Pan Son wasn't a beauty queen, she definetely wasn't model material, but there was something about her, that made Trunks' leap out of his chest. "Pan, If I choose Pan, I will be forever shunned from my family, but I love her, more then anything" He felt tears welling up in his eyes.


FlashBack.


"Trunks, I will not allow my son to be a member of Kakarott's family" HIs father Vegeta stated firmly.

"Father, I love Pan, Why can't you just accept that?"

Bulma Trunks' mother came into the conversation. "Trunks, Pan is too young for you, think of what it will do to our family if you marry her"

"Is that all you think about,is how the world will see us?" Trunks asked

"I want you to live a happy life, and if you Marry a girl who is fourteen years your junior, you will become the center of media attention, and it will not be the good kind"

"What will you do, Huh, what will you do if I choose Pan?"

Bulma knew she would regret what she said next, "Then I will forever shun you from this house, and the family you will no longer be welcomed in my home"

"Mother, you would prevent me from being with the one I truly love by threatening me"

Bulma didn't say anything instead she just nodded and left.

"Fuck you Mom, fuck you to hell"

Vegeta didn't like the way Trunks' was talking to his mother "Appologize now Boy"

"Why father?, because if will make you look good to her, to hell with with both of you"

Bulma turned around "You got your ultimatum, if you want to continue living in this house, and continue recieving your money, you will choose Marron over Pan"

Trunks stared in shock, "You cannot take my money from me"

"I can and I will, watch me" Bulma stated angrily.

Trunks couldn't believe his mother actually threatened him, by threatening to put a freeze on his finances. "What if I choose Marron?"

"Then you can live a normal life as a breif, money and all" Bulma told him, she went over to him, put her hands on his shoulder. "Trunks, I know you will make the right decision" She let go and left the room, Vegeta behind her.

Trunks just stood there dumbfounded.



End of Flash Back.



"Who do I love more though, Pan or My family" Trunks asked himself. Trunks then heard a knock on his door. "Come in" He called. The door opened to reveal Goten Son, The bestfriend of Trunks, and the uncle of Pan. "Hey Goten, sup?

"Nothing Bro, still pondering over your decision?" Goten asked as he took a seat on Trunks' California King size bed.

"Goten, it's so hard, mother threatened to freeze my accounts and shun me from the family if I choose Pan"

"Then choose Marron" Goten stated the obvious.

"But I love Pan" Trunks told him. "I don't know when I started to feel this way, but I love her more then anything, I think.."Trunks paused for a minute. He looked around. Every nick nack in his room was either given to him by Pan, or was Pan's, he had nothing of Marron's at least not in view, probably thrown into a junk box in the back of his closet. "Goten, have you notice something about my room lately?"

"Goten looked around, That ever little item is either Pan's or giving to you by Pan, yeah Trunks I noticed, but what does that have to do with anything?"

Trunks went over to his best friend. "Don't you see, I have kept everything that Pan has left over here or has giving me, he picked up an old toy action figure that Pan use to play with when she was five, and trunks would watch her. "I kept this, Goten, now why on earth would I keep an old toy action figure?" He asked. "I'm too old for Kiddy toys like this, so why keep it?"

"Well what do you have that is Marron's" Goten asked looking around the room.

"Nothing, at least nothing that I haven't either thrown out or shoved to the back of my closet." Trunks explained.

Goten got up. "Dude you are in one pridactament, to choose between Pan the sassy Tomboy or Marron the Shy Beauty Queen"

"Choose Marron, live miserable, but rich, choose Pan, live Happy but poor" Goten said, "Dude it sounds to me, you must choose between Love or Money, what to you is most important Love or money?"



'love or money?' Trunks thought, 'what is more important to me?' He thought.

"Well love is the obvious choice, but Goten I have had money at my beck and call since the day I was born, to not have it at arms length is gonna be hard to get use to"

"So you choose money?"

"If love wasn't factored in, then yes probably, but that's just it, love is factored in my love for Pan"


Goten looked the digital clock on Trunks nightstand. "Oh shit, I have to get going" He said getting up,he walked over to the door,as he was about to leave, he turned around and said to trunks "Follow your heart, make your own path, life is what you make of it, don't let anyone contol your life" Goten smiled as he scratched the back of his head. He couldn't believe he had just said that. "Good bye Trunks, I'll see you tommorow" He told him as he left, still slightly confused at his words.

Trunks laughed, he too couldn't believe his best friend had said that. "You surprise me sometimes Goten?" He went to his bed,and layed down on it. "Follow your heart, make your own path, life is what you make of it, don't let anyone control your life" The words played over and over in his head, "Don't let anyone control your life" Trunks shut his eyes.. 'follow my heart' he thought as he drifted off to sleep.


The next morning when Trunks woke up, he was face to face with his love. "Good Morning Trunks" Pan smiled.

Trunks smiled back "Good morning Pan, and how is my favorite girl this morning?"

Pan smiled, "I'm fine, and you"

"Good, now that you're here" He said as he leaned into kiss her. Pan leaned forward and accepted the kiss. "I love you Pan, I love you so much" He said.

Pan noticed the pain in his voice,and the sadness in his eyes. "Trunks?" She asked worriedly.

"Mother gave me an ultimatum yesterday"

Pan sat up, "Yeah what is it?"

"She told me if I choose you I can kiss all my money goodbye"

"She told you that?"

"Not in those words,but basically yeah" Trunks took ahold of her."You know I love you right?"

Pan nodded.

"And there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you?"

"Yeah, i know"

"Pan,my mother also threatened to shun me from the family" He told her "I don't know if I can leave my family"

Pan understood. "Trunks choose what feels right to you, I'll wait for you, Yes I want you to choose me, but if you can't then I understand, remember I will always love you no matter what" She said, getting up from the bed. "Besides, I rather love you for five minutes, then to have never loved you at all" She said kissing him "I got to go, I'll see you this afternoon.

Trunks nodded "Alright"

Trunks smiled at Pan's descendin form. He did love her, that much he knew. Trunks decided to take a shower, so he walked into his bathroom.

As Trunks was in the shower, Marron had come into the room. Marron was still in love with Trunks, and felt she had the best chance at winning him, she had no Idea, that he had feelings for Pan, and all the feelings that he once had for her had vanished. She also did not know, about the ultimatum Bulma had given him though.

Marron looked around the room, she shook her head in disgust, everything in it, belonged to Pan. For some reason she didn't like Pan, she had no rhyme or reason for hating her, she just did, maybe it was because, she had been Trunks girlfirend for so long, then all the sudden Pan had grown up, Marron was as one would say Jealous.


After his shower, Trunks put on his boxers and a his Pants,he then walked out to his bedroom to finish up his attire. He saw Marron. "Marron, what are you doing here?

"Trunks" She happily said as she planted a kiss on him.

"I asked, why you were here?" He said.

"I came to see you, Trunks, please you must choose me, Pan can't love you the way I will"

"Marron, I haven't made my decision yet, I will soon"

Marron sighed in defeat, "Alright, Trunks" She said getting up to leave, but not before giving him a kiss, that to her was mind blowing but to trunks was nothing. "remember Trunks, I will love you no matter what" She said as she left.


He watched Marron leave. "What am I to do?, Why did Mother have to threatened to shun me from the family and freeze my finances?" He asked himself.
