Chapter Three: Achoo
The wedding went off without a hitch. Tein walked down the alise with Diana and escorted her to stand next to the other bridesmaids. Chotzu on the other hand had a little trouble keeping up with one of the twins. Tein was pretty sure it was Florra. The only odd thing that he noticed was that Launch was no where to be seen.
When Tein asked Chotzu about it he replied that she would be at the reception for sure.
Launch stood in front of her full leingth mirror, modeling her dress. Although it had cost her a pretty penny, she deciced that it was worth it. It was a spagetti strap dark red velvet dress that only came up to mid-thigh. Her red platforms added an extra two inches to her. She went over to the dresser and picked up a red scarf. She tied her hair back as she usually did and went outside. Launch reached inside her purse and tossed out a green jetcar. She slid onto the seat and started across the desert.
When she arrived she handed her keys to the vallet and went inside the reception hall. She had to admit that all the looksshe was getting from the men was nice. But the looks she got from the women wern't. She took adeep breath. Here goes nothing Launch, she told herself.
She went further into the room and grabed a glass of champain from the passing waiter. She looked around the room and saw Tein standing next to the twins and that girl, what was her name? Donna? They were all handing on to his every word and smiling very sweetly. Launch suddenly felt nervious. Why should I? she thought. After all, he isn't mine anymore. They can have him.
Liar.
Chotzu, who was extreamly bored, noticed Launch and grabbed ahold of Teins hand.
"Look Tein!" he said excitedly. "It's Launch!" He didn't even wait for a response. He just pulled him across the room and in front of Launch.
"Hi, Launch." he said.
Launch smiled down at him. "Hi Chotzu! My, don't you look so hansom in your tux." she said.
Chotzu beamed proudly. "Thank you. Isn't Tein great too?"
Launch gazed at Tein. He was wonderful looking. Tall, hansom, gentle. What else could a woman want in a man.
"Yes he does look very hansom, Chotzu." she said stareing in to his eyes. Tein blushed a bit and said, "Um, you look great too."
She turned red like him and sipped at her champain. The bubbles tickled her nose and she held her breath.
Please don't sneeze! Please don't sneeze! She thought.
The urge to sneeze faded and she breathed a sigh of releif. When Launch looked up again she saw that Tein was stareing at her with a look of fear on his face.
"Are you um, alright?" he asked.
She nodded. But she wasn't. She had to go to the restroom to make sure that she wouldn't sneeze that night.
"I'm fine. I just need to use the ladies room. Excuse me." She turned and made a bee line to the restroom.
Once inside she went over to the mirror and looked at her reflection. No puffy eyes, no flared up sinuses, just a little shine on her nose. She pulled out her compact and opened it up. Coutiously she applied the powder to her nose.
Much to her unfortune, the twins and that maid of honer walked in. Kami, Launch thought, do they go everywhere together?
They walked up to the avalable mirrors and started chatting, ignoreing her.
"Oh my godness, did you see the outfit Sara Miller was wearing?" Fonna said.
"I know." Diana giggled. "Bargan basement city." They erupted in laughs that made Launch want to pull her hair out.
"So what do you think of that Tein guy?" Fonna asked.
"He is so cute! I just wanted to jump him yesterday when I saw him with no shirt on."
That caught Launchs attention. Easy with the powder girl, she told herself.
"He is fine." Diana said. "But what is the deal with that third eye? Was he born on a waste dump or something?"
Launch felt her temper rise.
"A guy like that is good for a week at most."
That does it! Launch slammed her case closed preparing to give them a piece of her mind. But some dust flew out of the case and drifted towards her nose. Her face twitched and her nose wiggled.
She turned and ran out of the ladies room as fast as she could. If she sneezed in front of them and Kushami heard them, she would kill them!
"AH-AH-AHCHOOOOO!!!"
Her hair changed from purple to fine blonde and her eyes switched to cat-like green.
At that moment, Vegeta was leaving the mens room and saw the whole transformation. He jaw hit the floor, not beleiving his eyes. The transformation looked like that of a- of a- super-sayjin!
Kushami looked around trying to make sence of her surroundings. She turned and saw Vegeta the sayjinprince gawking at her.
"What are you looking at?" she sneered.
Vegeta turned and ran back into the restroom.
Kushami shrugged and looked around. People dressed up, a big cake and wedding decorations. Damnit! she thought. Launch knew that I didn't want to come here. She looked around at the exits. The front door had Chichi and Videl chatting in front of it, the back had Krillen and 18 sipping wine.
"Damn." she whispered.
There was no way out.
