fanfic.
authors notes; Alright this time I don't really have a right to complain
about a lack of reviews because it has been a while since I updated. It's
not my fault I tell you, it's not my fault! My mom rents from my uncle
so when he decides on a whim to remodel the house my computer had to take
a field trip to my dads cause I didn't trust the moving guys. I've just
moved back in and I think they tried to everything in my room when the
movers were putting stuff back in the house, so now I'm sleeping in my
sleeping bag on my brand new hard wood floors. Life sucks...but at least
I have a paychack.
random rant;...I guess that was kind of a rant and note in one...but...
hard wood floors suck!

on with chapter 11
Several months passed before Gohan finally made up his mind to ask her...
"Are you sure mom?" Gohan asked holding the ring up in the light.
ChiChi looked at the ring fondly, remembering when it had been given to her. "Your
father gave it to me, I don't think he would mind you giving it to Zandra."
Walking back into the kitchen area ChiChi saw Lazandra pulling out a few pans.
"Don't worry about dinner tonight dear, it's all taken care of." Then she smiled
mischievously. "You'd better go get ready Gohan's got something special in mind."
Lazandra gave her a questioning look but obeyed. When she came out of her room she was
clad in an old dress ChiChi had left on her bed for her to use. Lazandra began walking into the
living room wondering what Gohan was planning and stopped short when she saw him standing in the
living room wearing a nice pair of slacks and a dressy sweater; she had never seen him in
anything other than his sparing ki(except of course when they were swimming or sleeping).
Gohan turned when he felt her eyes on him and had a sudden fit of shyness. He felt the
way he did the first time he had gone out on a date. She was wearing his mothers' long not quite
formal violet dress, which matched her eyes almost perfectly.
"So where are we going?" she asked seemingly unaware of the reaction she had provoked.
He stood there in silence for a moment before he was aware that he was gawking at her.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
She grinned at him. "Where are we going?"
"That's a surprise."
She quirked an eyebrow at him, but surprised him by remaining quiet.
"Shall we?" He asked, holding an arm out for her.
She smiled at him wondering what he was up to. "Are we walking?" she asked lacing her
arm through his.
He shook his head. "I will be carrying you."
She gave him an odd look, "But I can fly on my own now."
After they were out the door he turned to pick her up. "I know that; doesn't mean that
I won't look for an excuse to hold you whenever I can."
She rolled her eyes. "Like you need an excuse."
He grinned at her. "Now close your eyes, I want this to be a surprise. Oh and here's
another excuse to hold you, I want to."
She laughed softly at his playfulness; he certainly was in a good mood tonight. After a
while she felt the wind slow then stop altogether and figured they must have landed.
"Can I open my eyes now?"
He set her down on her feet. "Hold on just one second." He said then she heard some
rustling sounds.
"What are you up to?"
She finally felt him return when he pulled on her hands. "Ok, now you can open your
eyes."
When she opened her eyes she was met with a pleasant surprise. They stood together near
the waterfall he had taken her to a few months ago. The sun had just finished setting below the
horizon, but lack of light was not an issue, the full moon gave plenty of light and the candles
that were set around the small blanket took care of the rest. On the blanket was a small dinner
(small for a saiyan anyway), some pillows and off to the side was the basket the dinner had
probably been in.
"When did you find time to set all this up?" she asked a little breathlessly.
He smiled to himself glad she liked it. "I can't give up all my secrets now can I?"
She turned to him. "I'll talk it out of you some day."
"Probably, but until then," he said and waved his arm towards the food gesturing for her
to sit down. "Why don't we have something to eat?"
An hour later...
"You know if you didn't have my mom's dress on, I'd start a food fight with you." Gohan
said, grinning up at her; he was currently using her lap as a pillow and found it quite
comfortable.
She looked down at him with a mischievous gleam in her eyes. "Well if that's all that's
stopping you then I could take the dress off."
His smile faltered, he brought her hear for a reason. "Actually I might have something
you could add to your outfit."
"And what's that?" she asked tilting her head to the side.
He sat up and again that shy look overtook his features. He pulled something out of his
pants pocket and held it out to her. "This."
She looked back and forth between his eyes and the small ring he held in his hand.
"Marry me?" he asked quietly.
Tears filled her eyes and he would have panicked at that if he hadn't felt the rush of
joy sweep through her. He knew this was the right time when he felt that, over the past few
months they had been sharing their beds with each other and during this time they had developed
a bond through her empathic abilities; he didn't think that she could have hid her joy from him
had she tried; he was actually quite surprised that he had been able to keep his intentions
secret from her.
She jumped into his arms and kissed him knocking them both over backwards with her
landing on top of him. "Should I take that as a yes?" he asked when she finally lifted her
lips from his.
"What else did you think I would say?"
He smiled trying to take in everything about her at that moment; he hadn't seen her so
happy since...well he didn't think he had ever seen her that happy, which in turn made him happy
that he could be the reason for her happiness. He brushed this thumb down the side of her face,
and said, "I don't know. Maybe that this wasn't the right time."
"Maybe this, maybe that!" she interrupted him. "I know we can't legally get married
being that there is no government anymore but we can get married in every other sense of the
word, and I want to do that right now."
"Now?" He repeated with an amused grin.
"Yes now. I am not going to wait for later!" She stated in a firm tone. "All we need is
you, me, your mother, promises to each other, and one night for just us."
He pulled her tight against him, "Not necessarily in that order I hope." He said.
They stayed there and had their night together and the next day when they returned home
ChiChi was all smiles especially when they told her the news. That same evening at sunset ChiChi
took them out into the backyard and bared witness as they made their promises to one another to
remain loyal and loving to one another until their death.
Lazandra loved sunsets, but that day none of the scenery around her mattered. All that
mattered was Gohan, his love and the promise that they would be together always.
They all wore smiles for the next few weeks, since the androids had come some years ago
there had been very little to be joyful about, and with this single day and event a new sense of
hope swirled around them.

ok now here's a random question/quest(if any of you are ambitious enough
to figure out the answer). What was the first fanfic posted on this website?
(I'm a curious little bugger aren't I) *grins*
oh yeah, by the way Comic-con int. was a blast. The costumes the queen and
I made came out damn good for being done in a week. There's pictures of
us on the net somewhere, I don't know where but the queen does...so again
if you're feeling ambitious enough you can go ask her where.
