CHAPTER FOURTEEN - Akkuvedi and Tien: Inseparable

As Akkuvedi and the others in the ship landed back on Earth, Goku and the good guys ran up to them. Android 18 was quite eager to see Krillin back alive again, but that wasn't the main part of the reunion. The main part, was the fact that Tien was eagerly waiting for Akkuvedi to return. Those two ran up and hugged each other. Akkuvedi and Tien; wasn't that a hell of a juxtaposition? If you don't know what that means, think of it this way. We have two comfortable images. We have Tien, a Z-fighter that has been one of the good guys for god knows how long, and we have Akkuvedi, a female version of Super Buu. Apart, these images are perfectly fine, and we are perfectly comfortable with them. Once we put them together, however, we get a combination that seems weird; it's like the René Magritte painting of the train coming out of the fireplace. After the initial reunion, there was the part of explaining everything that happened on Namek.

Naturally, the one with the most questions was Goten, the youngest one. The next runner up, however, was his father Goku. Goku had felt the entire fight, as did most of the other Z-fighters. Goku, however, felt the whole fight much better than his friends and allies.

"So," Goku began. "How did the fight with the bad guy go?"

Akkuvedi smiled. "It was a hell of a battle. Yeah, I wish you guys were there to experience it. Us three took the evils apart!"

Once the explaining was done, people went back to their normal routines. Goku and Chi-Chi went out and ordered Chinese, which was a rare occurrence for them. Videl and Gohan were on their fifth date, as were Akkuvedi and Tien. Goten and Trunks went out and played in the very mountainous regions. One of the few times that they were going to have this much fun. They figured that they might as well have their fun now while their childhood lasted, which was a somewhat realistic belief. This date was different for Akkuvedi; she didn't know what to expect.

Much to their surprise, it was fun. One of the most humorous times was when a stupid man with a gun tried to rob the two as they walked down the street toward the restaurant. Once he got a taste of Akkuvedi's mild punch, he was sucking asphalt. It caused all the passersby to stop and laugh at the robber's dumb ass. Other high points of the dates was when Akkuvedi and Tien went up to the mountains where he usually trained, and she carved a heart in the side of a mountain with energy, after which they sat there and watched the wonderful sunset. This would be a night to remember. For, there were thoughts that were itching to escape from both of their minds.

[So, what does he really feel about me?] Akkuvedi thought.

Tien was thinking, [Should I ask or not?]

If you thought that he was thinking of asking what you think, you're right. He was waiting for the right moment to ask if she was going to marry him. Fortunately, he caught her on both a good note and a good sunset.

"Akku?" He asked. "I have a question. Will you marry me?"

Akkuvedi was admiring the sunset, when the question sank in. She turned to him, smiled, and prepared to give an answer. Whether or not his happiness lived or died depended on what the tear in her eye meant. But, to everyone's hope, it meant a positive thing.
"Tien, I will marry you."

Those words were so powerful, they didn't even sink in right away. He just sat there for a few minutes hoping he was actually awake and not in a dream, for he'd never had any permanent love before. Once reality did sink in, the two came closer to each other, and hugged.

Since I'm not a big fan of romances, I'm going to skip the mushy stuff (sorry female readers, I've got my male pride to consider).

It was only a few days after that that Akkuvedi and Tien had a wedding. It was beautiful, and all the Z-fighters were there. Videl and Gohan were married a month after that. It seemed that everything was returning to normal. Later on that month, there was going to be another World Martial Arts Tournament. It seemed that World Tournaments were inevitable.
