A Helping Hand
Chapter 17
That morning 18's ears woke up before the rest of her body and the first thing she heard was Marron crying. She groaned and pulled herself out of bed to tend to her daughter.
"Good morning Marron," she said as she picked the small girl up and opened the curtains, outside the sky was a brilliant blue and 18 couldn't help smiling, today was going to be perfect, she just knew it.
***
Downstairs Chi-chi was already awake and preparing a feast, Gohan, Goten and Trunks were sitting as patiently as they could at the table. Today was 18's special day and Chi-chi was doing her part to help make it extra special. Soon 18 walked into the kitchen dressed in a blue tank top and white sweat pants.
"Good morning everyone" she said happily.
"Morning" replied Chi-chi. 18 handed Marron to Gohan, who was all too happy to be able to play with her and went to make some tea.
"Are you still nervous?" asked Chi-chi. 18 shook her head, "Yeah, I am, but I'm so excited". Chi-chi smiled at her younger friend and took her hands and gave them a little squeeze, "You'll be just fine, trust me".
Bulma came into the kitchen then, dressed in a fluffy pink dressing gown, Vegeta had his arm around her waist but he quickly removed it when he remembered that there were other people at Capsule Corp.
"So how is everyone this morning?" asked Bulma as she jumped around the kitchen like a teenager who had just found out that their favourite band was going on tour.
"Whoa! Calm down Bulma your gonna explode" warned 18. Bulma stopped and sat on the bar stool behind the bench. "I'm sorry, I just love weddings so much".
***
Krillen rolled over and opened his eyes, it took him a few seconds to remember why 18 wasn't next to him but when he did he jumped out of bed and practically flew down the stairs to wake his friends.
"Guys, guys wake up right now!" demanded Krillen. The only reply he got where a couple of annoyed groans. He let out a frustrated groan and pulled open the curtains, which just annoyed Yumcha, Tien and Roshi even more, they all had massive hangovers. A few seconds later the phone rang.
"Hello, Krillen here".
"Go to the medicine cupboard" Krillen looked around the room, extremely confused, but he went anyway.
"Now, grab the green jar," Krillen reached for a jar "No not that one, the one next to it." Krillen looked around again but he still couldn't see anyone. "Now give one of those to each of the guys and they'll be right as rain" said the person then the line went dead.
"That was odd" said Krillen to himself as he headed back into the lounge room to give the guys the medicine.
Tien sat up and rubbed his head, soon Yumcha and Roshi were up too. Krillen came into the room with 3 hot cups of coffee and forced each man to drink them, then he made them all go out and stand in the ocean for 10 minutes.
***
18 looked up at the clock and almost dropped Marrons bottle, it was 10 to 9. "Um, I should probably tell you guys that someone in going to be here in about 10 minutes".
Bulma and Chi-chi looked up from their breakfast, "Who?" asked Bulma.
"Her names Kira, she's Krillens mother"
"I didn't know she lived around here" said Chi-chi.
"Well that's the thing, she doesn't. I wished her back from other world" Chi-chi and Bulma nearly chocked on their breakfast.
"You what?"
"It's only for today, it's my wedding present for Krillen," said 18 "And if you don't mind I'm going to go and wait for her"
18 stood out on the huge front porch of Capsule Corp, she was carefully studying her nails. She'd been waiting for around 10 minutes now and Kira still wasn't there, 18 walked down the steps and onto the grass, she could she Mrs.Briefs watering her plants and the cat walking around her feet, but no Kira. Now that 18 thought about it she didn't really know what she was looking for, all she knew was that she had long brown hair and green eyes. All of a sudden 18 felt the air around her move and then a figure started to materialise on the front step, 18 took a few steps backwards and waited for the person to fully appear.
Kira looked around stunned, one second she had been in other world and now she was standing here, how did that happen?
18 blinked a few times to make sure she wasn't seeing things, Kira really was as beautiful as Krillen had said "Kira?" asked 18 as she made her way up the steps. Kira jumped back, she looked scared, "Keep away from me!"
"Hi, my name's 18, I can explain why you're here," she said "you don't need to be afraid of me, I won't hurt you". 18 paused for a few seconds, she never would have imagined herself saying something like that.
"OK, explain".
"There are these things called Dragonballs," 18 began "if you collect all seven of them you will be granted any one wish. Well I wished you back to this plane for one day".
"And what did you say you name was again?" asked Kira.
"I'm 18" she held her hand out and Kira briefly shook it
"18, what kind of a name is that?"
"It's a long story, you wouldn't care for it" replied 18 honestly.
"And why did you wish me here? I've never met you, I have no idea who you are".
18 smiled, "I wanted you to come to my wedding" said 18. Kira cocked her head and looked at 18 strangely "Why?".
"Because I'm marring you son, Krillen and I are getting married today" announced 18 happily. Kira's mouth dropped open and she stumbled backwards. "Are you lying to me?" she asked suspiciously. 18 shook her head, "Of course I'm not lying to you, I brought you here so you could see Krillen's wedding, he doesn't know about it though, it's a surprise. I know how much he misses you and how happy he's going to be to see you. But what do you say we go inside and I'll explain it to you a little better".
"Bulma, Chi-chi, she's here" called 18 as she walked into the kitchen, Kira followed closely behind.
"Oh my god," said Bulma and she stood up, walked over to Kira and gave her a hug. "It's so good to meet you, I'm Bulma". Kira just smiled and nodded.
"I have someone else I'd like you to meet," said 18 "You interested?". Kira looked at 18 "Yeah sure I suppose so".
18 walked over to Gohan and took Marron off him, then she made her way back over to Kira.
"This is Marron, she's your grand-daughter". 18 handed Marron over to Kira who immediately covered her in kisses. "Oh she's so precious, I don't believe it".
18 took a step back and watched on happily, "Well it's true, it's all true".
"Wow, she's so beautiful" commented Bulma quietly. Chi-chi nodded her head in agreement.
"Mummy, who's that lady?" asked Goten, who had been quiet all morning.
"That's Krillen mum," replied Chi-chi "Her names Kira".
"Ohhh," Goten drew out the word slowly, "I never met Krillen's mummy before".
***
"Yumcha, will you hurry up in there please?" asked Krillen as he pounded on the bathroom door.
"God just hold on, we've got all day" replied Yumcha.
"We have four hours" said Krillen and he stormed off down the hall, 18 would kill him if he was late.
"Krillen, can I come in?" asked Master Roshi as he poked his head into Krillens room.
"Yeah sure". Master Roshi came and stood in front of Krillen, "Relax," he said, "everything will be fine ok, your just nervous that's all". Krillen groaned and fell back on the bed, "I just want today to be perfect, that's all and I can't even get in the damn shower". Master Roshi chuckled to himself and left the room.
15 minutes later Krillen finally got into the bathroom, he had a shower and got all nice and clean. Then he dried himself off and put on his brand new black tux. He thought he looked pretty smart, hopefully 18 wouldn't think he looked to bad either. Then he headed downstairs to wait until it was time to go to the church.
Yumcha and Tien were sitting on the couch flicking through the channels on the t.v when Krillen came into the room.
"What's the time?" asked Krillen. Tien looked up at the clock "11.45" he said. Krillen sat in the chair on the other side of the room and sighed, "Is that all?"
"Fraid so buddy, we're not leaving for another hour yet" said Yumcha. Krillen rolled his eyes. He had to be at the church by 1.30 since the wedding started at 2 and it was going to take a little over and hour to get to the church. Krillen got up and went to look for something to do, he checked he had 18's ring, put some dishes away, put on a load of washing, checked for the ring again. The time just seemed to be passing way to slow.
***
By 10.30 the whole 3rd floor of Capsule Corp had been transferred into wedding central. Bulma and Chi-chi were locked away in Bulma's bedroom putting on their dresses and 18 and Kira were in a room down the hall.
18 really had chosen them beautiful dresses to wear, they were sky blue, went all the way to the ground, had thin shoulder straps and they weren't overly tight but they hugged their figures just right. Bulma had her hair up in a ponytail but she had curled the ends into tights ringlets, she had left a few strands hanging around her face though. Chi-chi's hair was done up much the same way, except her hair hadn't been curled so tightly, it was just nice and wavy.
All of a sudden both girls heard a scream coming from down the hall, without even thinking about it they dropped everything they were holding and rushed to see what the problem was.
"18 what's wrong?" asked Bulma as she and Chi-chi burst into the room. 18 was walking around the room, holding onto her dress so it didn't touch the ground to much, but it puffed out at the bottom, making it quiet hard to hold all of it.
18 stopped, dropped the part of the dress she was holding and turned to face her friends. "I can't find my other shoe!". Bulma and Chi-chi looked at one and other with relieved expressions.
"18 is that all?," asked Chi-chi as she walked over to her friend, "you couldn't call it your wedding day if you didn't have at least one problem". 18 sighed and looked over at Kira. She was wearing a full length red dress that Bulma had leant her, it fit perfect and she was happily playing with her grand-daughter. 18 was glad she had wished her back.
"You wanna know something?" asked Chi-chi.
"Sure why not" replied 18.
"When Goku and I got married, Goku didn't even know what marriage was" said Chi-chi.
"What?" 18 sounded absolutely shocked.
"It's true, he thought it was a type of food"
"And Vegeta showed up nearly 3 hours late at our wedding," said Bulma from her spot in the doorway. "See 18, this isn't a serious problem, will just have a thorough look for it, trust me, it will turn up"
20 minutes late, the elusive missing shoe did turn up. It was a strappy white heel, which 18 had nearly had a heart attack over. Now she was carefully slipping her foot into the shoe and doing up the buckle, then she stood up so everyone could admire her.
"Wow 18, you look so gorgeous, Krillens gonna die when he sees you" said Bulma.
"He'd better not". 18's dress was pure white, the top half was very tight and had no straps and when the right light shone on it you could see the tiniest hint of something sparkly. The bottom half of the dress fluffed out in all directions, but a little more at the back than the front, the whole dress was made of beautiful soft silk. 18 had a small tiara on her head and all her hair was piled up on top of it, all that was left to do was to attach the veil.
"Would you like me to do it?" asked Bulma as 18 fiddled with the piece of see through white stuff.
"Ok" said 18 and she sat down at the desk. Bulma attached the veil and 18 stood up again, it fell to about half way down her back.
"Ok have we got all the required items?" asked Chi-chi
"Required item?". Bulma looked at 18, "Yeah, Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue".
"Well new is the dress" said 18
"Blue can be your eyes" said Chi-chi.
"Borrowed is the necklace" said Bulma referring to the diamond necklace she had lent 18 to wear.
"Now all we need is old" said Chi-chi more to herself than to anyone else.
"But I only have one old thing on me and I don't really think that's going to be appropriate" remarked 18.
"What?" asked Bulma.
"I have a tattoo, it's from before" that was all 18 referred to her life before Gero as now.
"You have a tattoo?," Bulma's eyes where huge "Of what?"
"It's my lucky star," replied 18 "But that doesn't solve our old problem".
"I have something old," came a quiet voice from the corner of the room. Kira carefully layed Marron down on the bed and walked over to the 3 women, she pulled an old silver bangle of her wrist and handed it to 18. "I know it's not much but.." 18 never let her finish.
"Kira it's beautiful, thank-you" she said. 18's whole body suddenly felt warm
10 minutes later there was a knock on the door and Mrs.Briefs stuck her head in the door. "The photographer is here," she said.
***
"Can't you drive any faster?" asked Krillen from his spot in the passenger seat. Yumcha, who was driving, looked across at his nervous friend and had to laugh. "Calm down buddy, if I drive any faster we'll get pulled over, then we really will be late. Yumcha turned off the street he was on and he came to a main road, "Now if I'm correct, which I am, the church should be about 3 minutes up the road. Do you think you can handle that Krillen?". Yumcha looked in his rear view mirror so he could see the 3 occupants of the backseat. "You guys right back there?" he asked.
"We're cool" replied Tien.
A few minutes later Yumcha's car pulled up in the parking lot of the church. Krillen was out the car before the engine was even off. Once Yumcha, Tien, Master Roshi and Oolong were all out the car they made their way up the 20 or so steps to the church.
"Do I really have to were this stupid suit?" asked Oolong as he tugged on the collar of his shirt.
"Oolong if I have to wear one than so do you" replied Master Roshi.
Krillen entered the foyer of the church and looked around. There was a big set of wooden doors, which he'd just come through, and another identical set which he presumed lead into the actual church. There was also another door, which was much less fancy, and just as Krillen looked at it, it opened and the priest stepped out.
"Ah hello there, I though I heard voices, I'm Father Matthews". Krillen shook the mans hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Krillen, and these are my best men Yumcha and Tien," Krillen indicated to each man, "And this is my long time friend and teacher, Master Roshi".
"It's a pleasure to meet you all, I know today will go well for you". Krillen smiled then he pushed open the double doors and walked into the church.
He was amazed to say the least. The church was huge, and had an eerie feel to it. The isle was covered with plush, dark blue carpet and the seats all had baskets of blue and white flowers on them. Krillen made his way up the isle looking around the huge church in awe, he was convinced that at least 3 Kame Houses could fit in here easy. He arrived at the end of the isle and walked up onto the raised platform. Krillen closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.
"Woah! What are you doing to me Krillen? Launch is going to kick my butt when she sees how fancy this place looks. She'll probably divorce me just so we can re-marry in a place like this" said Tien as he came to join his friend.
"Hey, don't blame me, this is 18, Bulma and Chi-chi's doing" said Krillen as he made his way back to the door, he stopped when something caught his eye.
Near the door was a wicker basket, which contained some small books, they were all almost identical, the only difference being that some where blue and where white. Krillen picked one up at looked at it. On it were the words 'Krillen and 18' in big letters at the top then underneath it 'Married 22nd August 2002'.
It was plain and simple. Krillen flipped through the pages of the book, there were the vows he and 18 were to recite a poem that Gohan was going to read, stuff the priest was going to say. Then a little section 18 had written on the last page, it was basically thanking everyone for coming to the wedding.
Krillen placed the book back in the basket and headed outside to get some fresh air, he was suddenly feeling a little light headed.
"I see you made it" came a voice. Krillen looked up and saw 17 landing on the ground. He was dressed in a black tux and had his hair pulled back into a low, loose, ponytail.
"I see you made it" said Krillen. 17 just nodded his head and leaned against the closed door.
"Hey Krillen, you out here?" asked Master Roshi, he spotted 17 leaning against the door and quickly headed back inside. 17 couldn't help the small smile that found it's way onto his face, at least someone was still scared of him.
***
"Ok just hold it there," Click "That was perfect" spoke the man from behind his camera. 18 rolled her eyes, she'd had enough photos for now. "Can I get up now?" she asked as politely as possible, she was running out of patience fast. The photographer smiled, "that'll do it, you can get up now". 18 got up off the bed and immediately walked over to Kira and took hold of her daughter.
"Hello Marron, are you being a good girl for your grandma?" she asked her little girl. Marron squealed and tried to grab hold of 18's veil, 18 however, quickly moved Marron out of the way, by holding her at arms length, "No no no sweetie, if you do that, mummy will be mad at you". 18 looked across at Bulma and Chi-chi and smiled nervously at them. She handed Marron back to Kira and went to talk to her friends, just then Mrs Briefs chose to stick her head in the door, she was wearing a white shirt and a full length, pale pink skirt. "Your ride is here" she said.
18 looked at her friends and bit her lower lip.
"Don't do that 18!," said Bulma, "You'll smudge you lipstick.
"What is this?" asked 18 as she walked down the front path of the Capsule Corp, towards a stunning white horse that had a carriage attached to it.
"Surprise!" said Bulma and Chi-chi at the same time. 18 turned to look at her friends and she couldn't help laughing, "This is so cool" she said.
"Now you 2 be good ok and I'll see you at the church" Bulma told her two babies, in all honesty, she trusted Trunks more than Vegeta to behave. Chi-chi looked at her boys, "You heard what Bulma said. Do what Mr and Mrs.Briefs tell you please" said Chi-chi.
"We'll be good mum" said Gohan. Chi-chi bent down and gave her two boys a big hug, "I know you will.
"Now, I want you to look after her, and Vegeta is not to go anywhere near her. Is that clear?" 18 asked slowly. Mrs.Briefs nodded her head, "don't worry, we'll look after her just fine, see you at the church". 18 gave Marron one last kiss and a big hug then handed her over to Mrs.Briefs. The she climbed into the carriage, Kira was already in there, and she sat down next to her.
"This is nice isn't it" she said.
"Yeah" replied Kira, she sounded a little nervous.
"What's wrong?" asked 18.
"I guess I'm just a little nervous about seeing Krillen again that's all. Has he changed much?"
"He's the most sweetest person in the world. You have no idea how much he's done for me. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.".
Chi-chi and Bulma finished saying goodbye to their sons and climbed into the carriage too. Once they where sure 18's dress wasn't hanging out the door, it was shut. The man told the horse to go and they were on their way.
***
Soon the guest started to arrive. First was Launch, she greeted Tien with a kiss, Yumcha with a friendly hello and there was a big hug and a congratulations for Krillen. Soon some monks from the temple arrived, they were the few Krillen had made friends with, since they were only one or two years older than he was, there was about 6 of them. Then the big Capsule Corp 4X4 pulled up. First out was Vegeta, who had been driving. Mr.Briefs climbed out the passenger side. Krillen chucked to himself when he saw Vegeta dressed in a tux. He watched on as Vegeta opened the back door and helped Trunks and Goten out, since the car was so high off the ground. Next Gohan jumped out, he saw Krillen at the top of the steps and ran up to greet him. Last out the car was Mrs.Briefs and she was holding his precious little Marron. Krillen's smile grew so wide at the site of his daughter that he thought his face would burst.
"Look Krillen, we made it" said Gohan as he climbed the last few steps.
"Hurray, is 18 on her way?" asked Krillen
"She should be about 10 minutes away, and let me tell you she looks beautiful" said Mrs.Briefs as she came up next to Gohan. Krillen immediately took Marron off her and hugged her tightly. "I missed you so much firefly," he said. "Hello Mr.Briefs, Vegeta" glad you could both make it. Mr.Briefs nodded his head and Vegeta just grunted and made his was inside the church to sit down.
The next person Krillen noticed coming up the steps was dressed in a ridiculously short pink dress and matching heels, her long blue hair was hanging loose. The man Maron was with wasn't the one from the house a few weeks ago, he had had black hair and dark eyes. This time the guy was a blonde with green eyes he looked rather classy, with not to many muscles, but he wasn't totally lacking them. 'Business guy' Krillen thought to himself.
"Hello Maron, glad you could be here" said Krillen as he held out his free hand, Maron and her new boyfriend both shook it.
"Oh my gosh," squealed Maron when she spotted the little girl in Krillens arms, she was dressed in a little white dress and matching booties, "What's her name?".
Krillen felt his cheeks go red, "Uh, her name's Marron" he said.
"Oh wow, her names my name".
"Uh yeah, now if you just go through there, Oolong will show you to your seat".
"Who was that?" snorted 17 once Maron had disappeared into the church.
"My ex, and before you say anything, 18 knows she's coming and she's fine with it".
"Speaking of my sister, you better get you butt inside. Look". Krillen looked up the street and sure enough the horse and carriage was coming closer and closer.
"Oh man, this is it" said Krillen and he ran inside before his legs wouldn't allow him to move.
Inside a silence fell over the small crowd as Krillen ran up the isle. He spotted Gohan next to the Ox King in the second row, lucky Ox King was sitting in the very corner, so he wasn't in to many peoples way.
"Gohan, I want you to go outside and give this to 18 for me ok," said Krillen and he pulled a small piece of paper out his pocket "and tell her I love her". Gohan nodded his head and dashed out the church. Krillen took a deep breath and took his place next to Yumcha and Tien at the front of the room.
18 was hugging her brother when she saw Gohan running down the steps.
"What's the matter honey?" asked Chi-chi.
"Nothing, I just have something for 18, that's all," Gohan handed 18 the piece of paper, "And Krillen says he loves you" 18 watched Gohan go then unfolded the paper and read it.
"Well, what does it say?" asked Bulma after a few minutes
"It's a poem Krillen wrote for me" replied 18.
"Well are you going to read it or not?" Bulma asked again
"All right all right," said 18
"Love is the greatest feeling,
Love is like a play,
Love is what I feel for you,
Each and every day,
Love is like a smile,
Love is like a song,
Love is a great emotion,
That keeps us going strong.
I love you with my heart,
My body and my soul,
I love the way I keep loving,
Like a love I can't control.
So remember when your eyes meet mine,
I love you with all my heart,
And I have poured my entire soul into you,
Right from the very start." 18 sighed as she finished and she looked across at Kira, who was wiping tears off her face.
"That's so beautiful" said Chi-chi
"Let's go get you married" said Bulma.
"Wait," said 18 "We need to get Kira inside first, I don't want Krillen to see her till after we are married, it's all part of my plan, she need's to sit in the back row"
"I'll take her in" said 17 and he took hold of Kira around the waist and disappeared. Less than 3 seconds later he was back.
"Did Krillen see?" asked 18
"Nup"
***
The wedding music came on and Krillen felt his heart stop. First to walk down the isle was Chi-chi, then Bulma, who winked at Krillen to wish him luck. Then the music changed and 17 appeared in the doorway, and holding tightly onto his arms, was 18. Krillen felt his mouth go dry, he had never in a million years imagined that someone could look so amazingly beautiful. Krillen was sure he had died and gone to heaven. But with every step 18 took he felt his excitement grow to the point where he felt he was going to explode. Then she was there, standing right in front of him. 17 quickly lifted her veil up and gave her a quick peck on the check. Then he sat down. Krillen took 18's hand and they took a few steps forward to the priest.
For Krillen most of the ceremony passed in a blur, he was to lost in 18's eyes to be really thinking about anything else except how beautiful she was. Occasionally he would sneak a peak at Marron, who was sitting on Mrs.Briefs lap right in the front row, but that was it. Amazingly enough he remembered to respond in all the right places and soon it was time for him to say his vows.
"I, Krillen take you, 18,
To be my wife,
Knowing in my heart that you will be
My constant friend,
My faithful partner in life,
And my one true love.
On this special day,
I give to you
In the presence of God and all these witnesses
My pledge to stay by your side as your faithful husband
In sickness and in health,
In joy and in sorrow, as well as
Through the good times and the bad.
I promise to love you without reservation,
Honour and respect you,
Provide for your needs as best I can,
Protect you from harm,
Comfort you in times of distress,
Grow with you in mind and spirit,
Always be open and honest with you,
And cherish you for as long as we both shall live." Krillen spoke slowly and steadily without a hint of doubt in his voice.
18 couldn't believe it, she was finally here and doing it. She was marrying Krillen, and it was perfect, just the way she had imagined it. She was trying not to cry and so far doing a pretty good job. Right now her world consisted only of her and Krillen, they where the only two people who mattered right now, she quickly stole a glance to her left and saw both Chi-chi and Bulma dabbing at their eyes with tissues. Suddenly she heard someone say her name and she realised it was her time to say her vows.
"I, 18, take you, Krillen,
To be my husband,
Secure in the knowledge that you will be
My constant friend,
My faithful partner in life,
And my one true love.
On this special day,
I give to you
In the presence of God and these witnesses
My pledge to stay by your side as your faithful wife
In sickness and in health,
In joy and in sorrow, as well as
Through the good times and the bad.
I promise to love you without reservation,
Comfort you in times of distress,
Encourage you to achieve all of your goals,
Laugh with you and cry with you,
Grow with you in mind and spirit,
Always be open and honest with you,
And cherish you for as long as we both shall live." 18 really did have to fight back the tears as she spoke those words.
The priest looked at Krillen and smiled. "Do you Krillen take 18 to have and to hold till death do you part?"
Krillen smile was so wide he thought his face would crack, "I do"
"And do you 18 take Krillen to have and to hold till death do you part?" the priest asked 18.
A single tear slipped down 18's face and she took a quick glance at the back of the room where Kira was sitting looking as proud of her son as she had ever been. "I do".
"Well then, without further ado, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride"
Krillen felt his joy bubble up and spill everywhere where, he was just a little to short to reach 18's face so he decided to float up to meet her. He pulled back her veil and brought his lips to hers, for their first kiss as a married couple. When they finally pulled away Krillen whispered into her ear, "We did it. We're finally married." 18 smiled at him and they made their way outside.
Once they were safely at the bottom of the steps they were showed with confetti, a small circle formed around them and they greeted each person the came to, never once letting go of each other's hand. After a few minutes 18 spoke to him.
"I have a surprise for" she said.
"Really what?" asked Krillen.
"You just wait right here ok" said 18 and she pushed her way through the group and walked off.
"Where's she going?" Krillen asked Bulma, he missed his wife already.
"Just wait and see, you're gonna love what she's got for you"
A few minutes later 18 came back. "Ok, shut your eyes and no peeking" she said
"Whatever you say sweetheart" said Krillen and he squeezed his eyes shut tight. 18 told Kira to stand in front of her so she would be the first thing Krillen would see. Kira was so nervous but so incredibly proud of her son.
"Ok open up" said 18.
"OH MY GOD!," Krillen practically screamed and he flung himself into his mothers arms, "Is it really you mum?"
"Oh Krillen, I love you so much" said Kira, tears spilling down her face. Krillen was in much the same state. They stayed locked in their embrace for nearly 10 minutes, mother and son. All the while 18 found comfort in her brothers arms, who was all too happy to give her a big hug. After a few more minutes Krillen came over to 18, who was alone now. Krillen wrapped his arms round her so tight she thought she would burst.
"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you," he said "You have no idea how much this means to me". 18 pulled Krillen close and gave him a kiss, "I'm glad you like it, now what do you say we let all these people get o the reception hall and we'll go have some more pictures taken. You can talk to Kira some more later I promise". Krillen kissed his beautiful wife again and then again after that. He still couldn't believe it. Then they said goodbye to everyone for a little while, they left Marron in the capable hands of Kira then they climbed into the back of a limo and it took off up the street.
"I love so much, 18" said Krillen.
"I love you to Krillen and I always will"
"I wonder if Goku was watching?" Krillen thought aloud. 18 rolled her eyes, grabbed Krillens collar and pulled him close, "Goku's not really who I want to be thinking about right now" she said then she sealed the gap between her and Krillen with a kiss.
A/N; well there you have it, they're finally married. Did my wedding chapter suck, I hope not, I put a lot of hard work into it. Did Krillen write an ok poem? Hope so. The next and final chapter should be out in a few days ok. So until then, stay safe and don't do drugs. ~D.B
