Chapter 22
The next two months flew by quickly. Bulma, Videl and Chi-chi ran around getting the wedding ready, Bra helped Pan organise her clothes, and Goten helped Trunks to organise his.
Finally, the big day arrived. Pan was at Capsule Corp., in Bra's room, waiting for her to come back with her stuff. She still hadn't told anyone that she was pregnant, but she realised that people would find out pretty soon, as there was a very, very, slight roundness to her abdomen, which, at the present moment, you couldn't see unless you looked really really hard, or knew to look for it.
I wonder why no one else has picked up on her ki? Pan thought.
That's because your ki is masking hers.
Trunks!…is that true?
Yeah, I can barely sense her, and the reason that I can is because I'm bonded to you…in other words, I'm allowed in your mind.
I knew that, smart-ass, now, when are we gonna tell them?
I've got a feeling that we won't have to wait too long, you'll be showing soon.
Yeah, if you look really closely you can see a tiny bulge, but not much.
See, we won't have to wait that long.
I can't wait to see you, Trunks…we'll be married by tonight.
I hope you're up for some…sparring…
TRUNKS! Sure, I'm always up for it…see you later, ok?
See you later, baby.
Pan ran her hand over her abdomen and smiled. Just then, Bra burst into the room with her dress and a massive bunch of flowers.
"PAN! You're up
already! I guess you're excited. You look so happy."
"Yeah, I am. How can I not be. I'm
finally marrying the one I love…and…" Pan stopped short.
"And what?"
"Ahhh, nothing. Just thinking to myself."
"No…tell me!"
"It's nothing! Really. I was just thinking about Trunks."
"Right." Bra knew better than to argue with Pan, especially on her big day. "So, how bout we start with your make-up."
"Ok then, don't want to get my dress dirty." Pan sat down and let Bra do her work. She started with a bit of foundation, not that she needed it, saiyan genes and all.
"Hey, Bra?"
"Yeah, hey, close your eyes, what colour do you want?"
"I don't know…blue or green?"
"Green it is, what did you want to ask me?"
"Are you bonded with Goten?" Bra finished putting her eyeshadow on and grabbed some mascara.
"I suppose I am, I know I will be in the future, I can't see me being with any other guy…but I think we just need more time. But we haven't 'bonded' as such. I bare no teeth marks on my neck, yet, either." She turned back to Pan. "Close your eyes, now open them a bit…there."
"Fair enough, it's only been 3 and a bit months."
"Shhh, you're moving. Let me finish, ok?"
"Ok." Bra finished putting on Pan's makeup, then she did her hair. Bra decided to leave it partly loose, taking back the pieces of hair that framed her face and fastening them at the back of her head, she then put a bunch of flowers where she fastened the hair. She then clipped some tiny flowers down her hair in random patterns. When she was finished she stepped back.
"Pretty good if I don't say so myself." Bra said, smiling.
"I don't want to see until I've got my dress on."
"Well! Let's get your dress on then!" Bra picked up her dress and helped her into it. Pan put on her white strappy shoes then stood up. Bra's face lit up. "You look fantastic!" Pan stood up and went over to her full-length mirror.
"Wow. You did a great job, Bra. I'm glad I got you to help."
"Anytime! I had fun. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready."
"Can I help?"
"Sure, I can do my makeup, but I'll need someone to tell me how great I look."
"I can do that!"

Trunks was at Goten's house, getting ready. He was wearing a royal blue shirt and black pants, and now he was fixing his hair.
"Wow, that's one sexy ass there!"
"Goten! That was uncalled for!"
"Oh, come on! If girls can their best friends how fantastic or sexy they look, why can't I?"
"You're an idiot Goten."
"Now that, was uncalled for."
"Fine. Thanks for the complement, Goten."
"Anytime sexy."
"GOTEN!"
"Just being stupid, loosen you up. You're nervous."
"Anyone would be if their best friend was hitting on them!"
"It's all in fun, Trunks, it don't mean anything. I love your sister."
"Dude, I don't need to hear that."
"Well, you are about to become my nephew-in-law."
"That's different."
"And maybe even one day, you may become my brother-in-law too!"
"Let's just continue to get ready ok?"
"Fine…Trunks…you finished with the mousse yet?" Trunks threw the bottle over to Goten, who fumbled it before dropping it on the floor.
"Good catch, idiot."
"Shut up."
"We have the most fun, don't we Trunks?"
"Wouldn't have it any other way." Trunks smiled. "Come on, let's get going."
