Part 2

As the waiter took their menus, Trunks asked, "So, what have you been up to these last five years?"
"Writing, training, writing, training. You know the routine. My father and mother have made me train when I've not been writing."
"Have you learned how to fly yet?"
"Are you kiddin' me?! I'm scared of heights!!!!" Trunks laughed at her phobia as he couldn't imagine the daughter of a cyborg afraid of high places. "So, what have you been doing?"
"Well, running Capsule Corp."
"That's all? No training?"
"Gosh no! I haven't had the time."
"I bet your father just loves that!"
"Yes, I've had to actually live here in the office to keep him from literally killing me. He thinks I've turned my back on my Saiyan heritage."
"Do you think you've done that?"
"Yeah, I do," he admitted hanging his head low. "My mother wants me to run the company, but I'm not really cut out to do it."
"Trunks, I never would've imagined." The waiter brought them their drinks; serving Trunks a cola and Marron sweetened tea.
"You still drink iced tea?!" He said making a disgusted face.
"Yeah, and you still drink that putrid soda!" She laughed. She remembered that when they were little; she was drinking soda and it came out her nose. This was pretty funny in and of itself, but what was even funny was the fact that before she drank the soda; she had no nose.
"Have you told your mother how you feel?"
"Marron, I can't. She's so happy her son is running the company."
"I'm sure she is, but is her son happy running the company?"
"No, I'm not. I've been miserable ever since I took over. I have to spar, to battle. I'm half-Saiyan; it's a part of me."
"And she doesn't understand that?"
"No, she doesn't. I don't know why I'm unloading my problems on you.
I'm sure you don't want to hear about them."
"Nonsense!!!! We go back a long way, and I'm still your friend. Maybe I could help you talk to Bulma. We could both tell her how you feel."
"That won't do any good. If I do step down, who will take my place?"
"What about Bra?"
Trunks's soda came his nose as he laughed at the notion of his sister running anything but the hair dryer. "Are you serious? Bra? Running a major corporation?!"
"Trunks, you won't be around forever. Who will run it after you're gone?"
"My children, I assume."
"And about that, how's your love life? If it's anything like mine, it's nonexistent!!" She laughed.
"I haven't had a date since I took this company over!!! I don't have time. I don't have time to do anything," he frowned.
"If you don't talk to your mother, I will. I can't stand to see you like this!"
"Marron, . . ." he began as the waiter brought their food to them.
They continued the meal with Trunks trying to talk Marron out of confronting his mother. He wasn't successful. After Trunks paid, but not before he heard heated protests from Marron, the two walked arm-in-arm back to Capsule Corp.
"Come get me tomorrow, and we'll go talk to your mother," she smiled.
"I wish you wouldn't, but I know you. You're just as stubborn as . . ."
"My mother?" She laughed. He noticed that her eyes danced as she laughed. 'I wonder why I never noticed that before?' He thought.
"Yes, Juu is very stubborn."
"I have an idea. My parents haven't seen you in awhile. I'll take you up on that offer of flying me back to Kame House."
"Okay," he smiled. "Come on up to the office. I'll change, then we'll head out."
