Chapter Thirty-Six: Wedding Days
Things had been going well for the last few months for the Briefs family and after much persuading by three children, Bulma and Vegeta where finally going to tie the knot. Vegeta grumbled about Erasa teaming up with Gohan and Fruiche in the persuasion process. Gohan stood with his Grandfather and the rest of the bridal party. Both Gohan and his Grandfather where going to walk Bulma down the aisle. Fruiche insisted that if Gohan was going to walk his mother down the aisle then she was going to stand next to his father. Launch was Bulma's only bridesmaid since the heiress didn't have any other really close girlfriends, her other close girlfriend Chi Chi had of course passed on.
When it was time to go Gohan and Dr Briefs both linked arms with the bride to be and followed Launch down the aisle. They all ducked for cover as the blue hair girl sneezed and transformed into her blond bank robbing alter ego.
"Give me all your money and valuables and no one gets hurt." The blond demanded.
Gohan stood protectively in front of his mother meanwhile Bulma trying to stand in front of her son to protect him, even though she knew her pre-teen son was capable of taking care of himself and probably wouldn't get hurt even if he was shot.
When she realised her son wasn't going to move she took to shouting. "Launch, this is my wedding! How dare you attempt to rob everyone."
It took Tien and Krillen to get the blond under control. Bulma's relatives that didn't have much to do with the members of the Z gang where whispering amongst themselves how Bulma was a bad egg and that the company would go down the drain in her hands. Others had passed out from shock and others again where to terrified to do anything at all. Bulma could see Vegeta was about to blast her relatives into the next life. Yamcha had taken a step back. Why Vegeta had chosen her ex-boyfriend/best friend to be his best man she didn't think she would ever understand. Bulma smiled at Vegeta dressed in black Saiyan armour with a crest the prince explained was the crest was the symbol of the royal family. He also wore a cape which was also black, Fruiche was dressed the same as her father. Yamcha on the other hand had decided to wear a black western styled suite.
When Bulma finally reached her new husband to be she looked up and smiled while the man she was about to marry turned away, crossed his arms and grunted. The priest that was going to marry them was none other than Mr Popo. Bulma glanced back at the audience. There where all the Z gang members who where a strange looking crowd within their own right. Vegeta actually had a few friends that were still alive who had promised not to destroy the planet or kill anyone on promise of long and painful death via the hands of Vegeta which added to even more strange looking people in the rooms, then there was her terrified family and her smiling mother holding Trunks who was screaming his lungs out.
"Bulma, I think he needs a feed" her oblivious mother stated when she noticed her daughter was looking in her direction.
"Well he will have to wait until Vegeta and I are married." Bulma answered.
"Can we make this quick?" Vegeta asked, he was getting agitated and hungry himself.
When they had finally got through the vows and Mr Popo announced they were now husband and wife and that Vegeta could kiss the bride had not gone down well, he simply refused to kiss his wife in public and had blasted a hole in the ceiling which was followed by much yelling by Bulma for wreaking more of her house.
Many of Bulma's relatives took the chance to leave, not sticking around for the lunch that was prepared. The few that had stuck around where sitting with Yamcha, Krillen, Snowe, Eighter and the three androids.
16 and Eighter both got along quiet well.
"I was programmed to kill Goku, but since he is already dead I have no purpose" 16 spoke in his monotone drawl.
Eighter reminisced about the time he had meet Goku with the younger androids.
Yamcha stuttered as he spoke with Snow, his old phobia came back as he spoke with one of Goku's old friends he'd never actually met before. Bulma and Snow had been introduced to each other by Goku when she was still a child. Goku not really comprehending that Snow was only 7 and Bulma was 15 and the time of meeting so didn't exactly make friends as the young monkey tailed boy imagined they would. "Bulma ended up babysitting me on a regular basis until I was 12. Until I was 14 she would be there when my parents went away for a few days. We still send each other Christmas and birthday cards" The red head explained how she'd met the bride.

A year and a half later the Z gang members where attending another wedding, this being the wedding of Android 18 and Krillen.
Krillen stood at the altar with Yamcha as his best man. Master Roshi was standing with them since he was the ones to marry them Krillen and 18. It was a nice sunny day and they were holding the wedding on one of the private islands near where the Turtle hermit lived. There were new additions amongst the Z gang, Launch and Tien had a new baby boy named Chouia after Chiaoutzu. Erasa was ecstatic to finally be a big sister and was between her parents and as close to her father as possible while he was he was holding her little brother with his mop of black hair. Chiaoutzu was sitting on the other side of his best friend. Snow and Yamcha had started dating not long after Bulma and Vegetas wedding and where expecting their first child in the next couple of months.
Bulma was trying to hold back giggles as the Bridal party finally started walking down the beach towards Krillen. 16 was the one to give her away and her brides maid was 17. Bulma realised how alike the twin androids truly where and with the way 18 had forced her twin to wear a dress and get his hair and makeup done in a similar fashion made them both look even more alike. The only difference between them was the hair colour.
Gohan innocently asked his mother why 17 was wearing a dress.

During the lunch Gohan was sitting next to 16, grinning as the android told him about how Eighter and himself had started up a pet shop and where doing great business with selling animals and pet supplied.
"I have started helping mum and grandpa more at capsule corp. One of the software developers who work for my grandfather saw the martial arts simulator I made to evaluate how my body moves was used for training purposed inspired me to attempt to create a computer game using my martial arts knowledge and computer skills, after 6 months of testing it has been worthy for shipment and the completed game is getting launched next month." Gohan smiled as he told the android. It was only something he'd done for fun so it felt good to have something released that was fully his even though it was not a new invention that his mother and grandfather released on a regular basis.
The wedding reception was not a long one, after all the old friends had caught up it was once again time for them to go there spate ways. Yamcha had a baseball match he had to train for, the police had somehow found the island and where trying to arrest Launch and Tien was trying to talk them out of arresting her while Chiaoutzu watched the two children. Master Roshi ended up being the one arrested for assault when he flirted with the female police officer. All in all it was a rather relaxing day for the Z gang.
