I am not a love child!

Disclaimer: I think we've been over this so here's the abriged version: Don't own Mom, don't own Dad, don't own friends, enemies, and or other family. Don't own my life. Bummer
I won't bore you with all these little incidents, after all, if you've read any
of the other stories of Mom and Dad I'm sure you've gotten the general gist of
these sweet little happenings. My goal is to relay to you the details of the
wedding. I just wanted to show you that Mom and Dad falling in love was not an
over-night process. That all. So, in the interest of time and space I will
fast forward the tape "Mushy Parental Moments as Witnessed by Trunks" to this
fated time....
It was a dark and stormy night....well...actually it wasn't. In fact, this
probably wouldn't have happened if it *was* a dark and stormy night. I had just
always kinda wanted to use that phrase to start a story but sense I'd have to
change a lot of things if I use that....I think I'll just start over.
It was a starry and slightly chilly night. Yup, that works better though it
lack the dramatic ring. Oh well. Anyway, on this particular night Bulma was
laying on her back gazing at the stars. Vegeta walked by.
"What are you looking at woman?" he asked with a quick glance to the heavens
to insure she wasn't looking at any comets, spaceships, or evil purple aliens
flying towards earth. But Bulma only gave the rather innocent answer of
"stars". Vegeta looked up again, one eyebrow raised.
"The thrill is gone." he commented as he turned towards the gravity chamber.
Bulma, seeming not noticing his indented departure, idly asked
"I wonder which one the Nameks are on, which little dot is their new planet."
Vegeta searched the sky for a second before locating it.
"That one, woman." he pointed to a distant speck. Bulma sighed, exasperated
"I have a name." she pointed out for the next innumerable time. Though Vegeta
had changed in many ways over the past few months this habit remained firmly
ingrained. "Besides, I can't tell *what* you're pointing at. Get down here."
Vegeta rolled his eyes but complied.
"That one." he pointed again, but instead of following his finger Bulma wrapped
her arms around his neck and pulled herself close.
"Got 'cha." she smiled.
It was quiet for a little while as Vegeta looked at her, then, slowly, he
wrapped his arms around her waist. "No," he whispered. "I've got you." There
was a possessiveness in his voice he had never used with her before. I guess
Bulma also sensed something was different about this little episode too because
she wiggled free and stood, smiling. Vegeta's brows contracted but he looked
more puzzled than angry. He sat up and met her eyes her with a look that said
"Explain!" Bulma, still smiling, consented to the silent order. "I don't know
what happened on Planet Vegeta, but if *we* are going to happen its gonna be in
the good old fashioned Earth way. No claiming me before then." She walked away
leaving a rather confused Vegeta on the lawn.
"Things were starting to get interesting now." I thought. Kami, for a while I
thought they were just gonna flirt for the rest of their natural lives (that
would be considerably shorter 'cause I wouldn't be coming!) but, now, at last,
leeway was being made! I really did feel kinda sorry for Dad at the moment. He
had no idea what the, uh, "mating" customs of Earth were. To tell the truth I
really didn't either, otherwise I might have felt compelled to help and thereby
advance the "Make a Trunks" cause. Luckily for me, for Dad, for the whole
freaking world for that matter, there was someone who did know. Unfortunately
that, in and of it's self, presented a problem. A rather entertaining problem
for me, the spy, but a not-so-funny problem for Daddy-dearest ^-^ Chuckling to
myself I made my exit. I had to go put fresh film in the Kodak.
The next day Goku came over. Talk about your handy timing, ne? Well after
devouring the remaining contents of the Breif's kitchen he and Vegeta went out
to spar. Everything was coming together nicely, If I do say so myself.
Vegeta and Goku fought high about the earth. There last few spars had been
good ones. It was evident Vegeta's power had increased immensely but today he
seemed a little, well, absent minded.
BAM! Vegeta was hit by one of Goku's ki balls. One he could have easily
dodged. He fell to earth muttering obscenities mostly directed towards himself.
Goku alighted beside him.
"Uh, Vegeta, you ok?" he asked. Vegeta snarled.
"I'm fine Kakkarott!"
"Oh. You just seemed kinda distracted up there. Is something bugging ya?"
Goku pressed. Vegeta looked up. He heaved a sigh as if steeling himself for
what he was about to do then quickly assumed his most imperialistic air.
"I'm only going to say this once Kakkarott!" He growled "So listen carefully."
"Uh, ok, shoot." said Goku. Vegeta seemed to be struggling to express him
self.
"How.." he tried again "What did..." He looked utterly embarrassed and
disgusted at himself. True Kodak moments. ::click click:: Finally he fixed
Goku with his usual haughty look and demanded. "Chi Chi. Your mate. How did
she become such?"
A smile spread across Goku's face. He knew why Vegeta was asking this.
Luckily he quickly reassumed his customary clueless look before Vegeta got to
suspicious.
"You mean like how did I marry her?" he asked. Vegeta, still looking a bit red
only nodded.
"Well, it's pretty easy actually. All I did was give her a ring-"
"A ring?" Vegeta interrupted.
"Yeah, it's a little bit of metal with a diamond on it that goes around your
finger and-"
"I know what it is, idiot! Why did you give her a ring?" Goku shrugged
"I don't know, cause a diamond if forever? Its just what you do. Anyway, so I
gave her a ring, asked her if she'd marry me, she said yes, a little later we
had a wedding and that was that!"
Vegeta appeared to be taking all this in and probably puzzling over the exact
meaning of such strange words as "marry" and "wedding".
"Well, I hope that helps you.." Goku started. Vegeta looked up sharply
"Helps me what!" he demanded. My breath caught in my throat.
"Damn Goku." I thought "don't screw up now." Luckily he made a graceful save
and finished his sentence with
"uh, helps you to satisfy your curiosity." Vegeta relaxed and grunted as to
the affirmative. Good Goku.
Vegeta got up and walked off without a look back. He looked rather determined.
Excellent. Goku stood there for a while looking at Vegeta. Then he turned at
looked at me. He winked and flew away. I decided I needed to work on the whole
"spy" thing a little more. And I thought my hiding place was good too!
