Disclaimer on prologue.

Warnings: The time line Trunks and Goten find themselves in now is a GT based one. I am taking liberties with the mythos of the series as this will become clear as time goes on. Any things I actively change from established canon are done on purpose.

Pairings: Trunks/Pan, Goten/OC and the canon pairings of GT.

Crashing the Wedding

Part One of Four

"I hope this isn't like that last world." Goten said as he and Trunk looked around. They had appeared in the middle of a very busy Capsul corp. to the shock of a very excitible woman holding a clip board and her screams of horror at their sudden appearance had alerted everyone within earshot. He wasn't feeling too enthusiastic about this world as this world's Vegeta was walking toward them with a menacing snarl on his face.

The scariest thing about the Vegeta bearing down on them was the fact he had a tail and it was thrashing in response to his obvious irritation and long experience had taught Goten that when Vegeta was in a bad mood it was best to clear out. "Explain now." He growled apparently recognizing at a glance that they didn't belong here.

"It's a long story but we are from a different timeline." Trunks said quickly. Goten was wondering if this was the kind of welcome they could expect every time they ran into an alternate Vegeta.

Vegeta looked them over and asked irritably. "Why are you here?" Goten looked around as Trunks explained their situation. It looked like they were gearing up for a wedding and he vaguely wondered who was getting married. He wondered briefly if the reason Vegeta looked so irritated was that Bulma was finally dragging him down the isle. "How long are you brats here then?"

"According to the counter we are going to be here a little over a week." Goten glanced at his own counter and wondered how Trunks had changed it to days so fast. "Whose wedding are we interrupting?"

"Yours." Vegeta said with a snarl. "You and Kakorrotto's grand daughter." Goten stared at Vegeta in shock and then glanced over at Trunks to see him equally disturbed. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have training to get back too." He was still shell shocked as Vegeta walked off stepping over the unconscious woman without a care in the world.

"You mean Trunks is marrying Pan?" He looked over at his friend seeing the same shell shocked expression. "If we tell Gohan about this when we get back home, he'll kill you." He could tell by the chalky white color his friend's face had turned that he was thinking the same thing.

"He nearly killed our Trunks when he found out." A voice said behind them and they both jumped turning to see Bulma standing there waving off security guards. "Now could you kindly explain what a younger version of my son and his best friend are doing here?"

Trunks grabbed one of the many chairs being set up in the lawn and set down. "It's your turn to explain." Goten glared down at his friend as he turned to an expectant Bulma. He quickly ran through the entire speel as quickly as possible. He noticed that Bulma seemed fascinated by the concept of alternate realities and began to ask a lot of questions. "Bulma, can an interrogation wait till later?" Goten could tell she was shocked that this alternate son had called her Bulma instead of mom. "I'm still a bit shocked that the other me is marrying Pan she's just a kid where we come from."

The tense moment was shattered by the arrival of this world's version of his mother and several other easily recognized people. He could only assume the rather pretty dark haired girl walking between Gohan and an older Trunks was Pan. He could tell Gohan that at least she turned out as pretty as her mom. "Can you please explain I'm not up to it again?" He asked Bulma and she nodded heading to explain. He set down next to Trunks and said tiredly. "I really miss that other world." Trunks gave him a weak smile.

Videl wondered when she'd gotten used to the utter insanity that seemed to follow Gohan, his family and friends. She had expected that the only thing she'd see today was her daughter rehearsing the ceremony where she would marry a man she privately felt was much too old for her. Of course she should have known that was far too normal a thing to happen to her family. So she found herself listening to Bulma explain all about alternate realities. "And apparently they are going to be here for about a week."

"So what are we going to do with them during the wedding tomorrow?" Her future son-in-law asked his mother. "It might cause a lot of talk if folks notice an identical but younger versions of me and my best man sitting in the audience."

"They'd hardly be the weirdest guests at the wedding though." Her daughter said smiling at Trunks as she fought to suppress a laugh. Videl had to smile herself as she thought of all the weird Son family friends who'd shown up at her own wedding to Gohan. "Maybe we could let your dad watch them, after all he's been trying to get out of attending the wedding for the last few weeks?"

"Vegeta is attending his son's wedding and that's final." Bulma said irritably. "No matter how big a baby about it he's being." She could tell no one wanted to argue with Bulma about it. "I suppose they'll just have to keep out of sight during the wedding." She watched the older woman shake her head. "It can't be helped there will be news outlets from all over the world here to see the marriage of the current president of Capsul corp."

Videl turned and saw the two subjects of their discussion quietly talking to each other. She wondered what it was like for them the idea of bouncing around from world to world wasn't very pleasant.

They were being shown to another guest room in another Capsul corp. The most disturbing thing he'd noticed in both worlds so far was how similar their Capsul corp. buildings were to the ones he grew up in. "I've been meaning to ask you how many worlds have you visited so far?" Bulma asked after a while.

"This is the second," He said quickly. "The last one was extremely different from the world we came from this one is sort of similar just about two decades in the future." She nodded as she led them along.

"What was so different about the other world?" He glanced at Goten and saw his friend was doing his best to ignore the line of questioning. He felt a bit of annoyance that his friend was leaving it all up to him but he couldn't really blame him.

"Vegeta, never came to earth, none of the Saiya-jins did," he said. Once again he noticed her the look she gave him when he referred to this world's version of his father by his given name. He wasn't going to open that can of worms he had to keep it clear in his head that these weren't his parents just alternate versions of them. "You were married to Yamcha and had a daughter named Bra."

"What happened to my da ... Goku here?" Goten asked suddenly. "No one has made any mention of him at all and I can't sense him anywhere." Trunks frowned, he hadn't even noticed the absence.

"Goku, had to leave with Shenron following the trouble with the negative energy built up in the dragon balls." Bulma said with a strained voice. "When you make it back to your world warn them not to over use the dragon balls too much."

Once they were alone in a set of adjoining guest rooms Bulma had led them to he set down on the bed. "That was quiet a story I wonder if it's just this world or if all versions of the dragon balls have that kind of problem?" He didn't expect Goten to have an answer to that he just felt like saying it.

Goten didn't respond instead he sat down on the edge of the bed and flopped backwards onto his back. "Do you think this is what our future is going to be like?" He seemed to pause for a second before continuing. "I mean other than the hot girlfriend and bad haircut I don't seem to have much going for me."

Trunks had to smile slightly the other Goten had showed up with a very dingy blonde named Mindy who Bulma had convinced he and Goten were cousins in town for the wedding. "It was a stupid hair cut." He glanced at his friend and could tell by his face he was serious. "I don't think so even if it would have been," He paused. "That would have been before this happened to us."

"I guess I can see that but still stay away from my niece when we get back home." Trunks grabbed a pillow and hit his friend. He was glad at least that Goten was with him. He hated to think of what it would be like if he was alone.
