Chapter 2: Talking it Out
Cheena had her elbow on her car door as she pressed her hand against her head and had the other hand on the steering wheel as she drove towards her home.
"Cheena, I saw these nice shoes that will go great with your dress and then I found this person who will do your hair up in a nice bun style" Chi-Chi said as she sat in the back with Bulma and Marron. Cheena tapped her fingers against her head as she stared at the road.
"You can have your hair the way I used to wear my hair. Do you remember that?" Chi-Chi asked. Clenching her teeth, Cheena looked in the rear-view mirror before responding.
"I remember how your hair was mom but that is not the style for me. I have already decided on a style for my hair" Cheena said as she looked back at the road.
"What style did you pick?" Bulma asked. For the first time, Cheena smiled as she looked in the mirror.
"I'm just going to wear it out" she said. Bulma was about to respond when Chi-Chi cut her off.
"Che, that style is so boring. You're going to wear your hair the way I had mines. You'd look much better" she said. Cheena clenched her teeth as she quickly stepped on the brakes. Everyone flew forward slightly before falling back in their seats.
"Cheena!" Chi-Chi yelled as she looked at her daughter. Cheena smirked as she turned around towards her mom.
"Sorry but I almost missed the red light" she said as she turned around. Beside her, Miyuki stared at her then stared straight ahead.
"Oh, well lets talk about what you're going to serve at the reception" Chi-Chi said.
"Mom, Trunks and I are going to discuss that on our own" Cheena said. Chi-Chi shook her head no as she folded her arms across her chest.
"You and Trunks do not need to discuss it because I have already picked out what you can serve" Chi-Chi said. Cheena growled slightly as she clenched her hands on the steering wheel before looking up. Seeing the light turn green, Cheena quickly stepped on the gas.
"Would you tell us when you're going to do that?" Marron said as she fell back against the seat. Glaring at the road in front of her, Cheena drove on towards her home at top speed.
"Cheena, exactly how fast were you going?" Bulma asked as she slowly climbed out of the car. Cheena remained silent as she walked over to the trunk and opened it up. Taking out her wedding dress, she walked towards the house with everyone following her.
"Cheena, I've been thinking. Maybe we should pick out another dress since I don't think that one you have suits you" Chi-Chi said as Cheena opened the door and walked in. Stopping in her tracks, Cheena was about to say something when Miyuki grabbed her arm.
"Uh let's go hang these dresses up, ok?" she said as she pulled Cheena towards the staircase and towards her room. Once inside, Cheena tossed her dress on her bed and stomped her foot on the floor.
"Do you believe her? I can't believe she just said that" she yelled as she turned towards Miyuki.
"She doesn't mean it Cheena" Miyuki said as she grabbed Cheena's dress and hung it up in her closet.
"Well she sounded like she meant it to me. Am I the one getting married or is she getting married" Cheena asked. Just before Miyuki could respond there was a knock at the door.
"WHAT!" Cheena yelled as she glared at the door. Slowly opening the door, the girls looked to see Risika walk in.
"Sorry Che but Trunks and the guys are downstairs. I just thought you'd like to know" Risika said. Sighing, Cheena stared at Risika.
"I'm sorry Risika. I just have a lot on my mind right now. We'll be right there" she said. Risika nodded her head before leaving the room.
"Just chill out and see what the guys are up to" Miyuki said. Nodding her head, Cheena left her room with Miyuki behind her. Walking into the living room, the girls looked to see the guys and girls just sitting around.
"About you came down here" Goten said as he glared at Cheena. Rolling her eyes, Cheena walked over to Trunks and sat down beside him.
"Hey, how was your day?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her shoulder. Cheena was about to speak when Chi-Chi cut her off.
"Cheena, I really think you should get a new dress. That is not a great wedding dress" she said. Cheena gritted her teeth as she glared at her mother.
"I happen to like that dress. I'm sorry if you don't mother" she snapped. Everyone looked at her before looking at Chi-Chi.
"Well what about what you are serving your guests at the wedding? Now I say you should have just chicken. Nothing else" Chi-Chi said with a smile on her face.
"Mom, Trunks and I are more then capable of deciding that for ourselves" Cheena said.
"I can do that for you. You and Trunks can just sit back and relax and I will do this whole wedding for you" Chi-Chi said.
"But mom, I love you for wanting to help but I think Trunks and I can handle it" Cheena said as she smiled at her mom. Chi-Chi stared at her daughter before smiling.
"You two can't handle it so I'll do it. Now does anyone want anything from the kitchen while I'm in there?" she asked as she rose from the couch and walked to the kitchen. Cheena growled as she watched her mom go. As soon as her mom left the room, Cheena stood up.
"Who is she to tell me what I can and can't do for my own wedding?" she slightly yelled.
"Lower your voice" Goten said as he pointed to the kitchen. Sucking her teeth, Cheena walked over to the window and looked out.
"She's just trying to help Cheena" Goku said as he looked at Cheena. Folding her arms across her chest, Cheena glared at her dad.
"There is helping and then theirs what mom is doing and that's taking over. When she comes out here I'm telling her to chill out" she said as Chi-Chi came out with a tray of drinks in her hand.
"Mom, I have something to tell you" Cheena said as she turned towards her mom. Setting the drinks down, Chi-Chi smiled at Cheena.
"You know, I'm so happy that you are letting me plan your wedding" she said as she sat down.
"Well that's what I need to talk to you about mom" Cheena said as she took a deep breath.
"I'm sure you will have a great wedding and it just makes me so proud that I am helping you with this. Now what did you want to tell me?" Chi-Chi asked. Cheena stared at her before looking at everyone else.
"Yea Che, what were you going to tell her?" Goten asked with a smirk on his face. Miyuki elbowed him in his side before looking at Cheena.
"Nothing, just forget it" Cheena said as she sat back down beside Trunks. Chi-Chi smiled as she stared at her daughter.
"Now we still have to talk about the vows for you and Trunks. You two should just let the priest say your vows for you" she said. Clearing her throat, Cheena forced a smile on her face.
"Trunks and I have already discussed that and we are going to write our own vows" she said as she looked at Trunks. He wrapped his arms around Cheena and smiled at Chi-Chi.
"I'm almost done with my vows and Cheena is working on hers" he said.
"No, you two should let the priest say it for you. I'll tell him when we do rehearsals this evening" Chi-Chi said. Cheena clenched her fists as she looked at her mom.
"Mom, Trunks and I have decided on this already. You can't just go and change it" she said.
"I'm not changing it, just improving it" Chi-Chi said. Looking around the room, Cheena quickly dropped her head and closed her eyes. Her teeth were clenched tight as well as her hands.
"Also I was thinking that we can have your reception party here" Chi-Chi said. Cheena's eyes snapped open as she glared at her mother.
"Mom, I have already booked our reception at a hall near the church" she said. Chi-Chi just laughed as she looked at her.
"Oh, I already told the guy to give you your money back. You should receive a check soon" she said. Quickly Cheena stood up and looked at her mom.
"You did what?" she asked. Chi-Chi sat back and looked at Cheena.
"Well I just think you having your reception here is much better then some hall" she said.
"I already gave in my money for that hall. I told everyone plus the caterers that the hall was where we'd be after the wedding. We'll have pictures taken and everything" Cheena said.
"Oh and I told the photographer that we won't need him after all. I got someone who will do it for free" Chi-Chi said. Cheena's eyes went wide as she stared at her mother.
"Who did you get?" she said through clenched teeth.
"Well your grandfather of course. He said he'd be glad to do it for you and Trunks" Chi-Chi said. Cheena quickly shut her eyes as her hands started to shake.
"Uh Cheena, how about you have a seat?" Bulma said as she stared at Cheena. Shaking her head no, Cheena quickly walked towards the front door and left the house. Trunks looked at everyone before getting up as well along with Goten and Miyuki. The three of them walked outside to see Cheena standing in front of the house with her back to them.
"Shut the door would you?" Cheena said. Shutting the door behind her Miyuki turned back to Cheena.
"Are you ok?" she asked. Cheena had a smirk on her face while turned into a smile.
"Am I ok? I have my mother turning my wedding into her own little plot and plan and you're asking me if I'm ok?" she said.
"Mom just wants to help Che, that's all" Goten said. Quickly Cheena turned around and looked at him.
"No Goten, there is helping and then there is taking over and I feel she is taking over" Cheena said.
"Listen Che, it'll be ok. Just talk to her and tell her that you appreciate what she's doing but she's working too hard' Trunks said. Cheena sighed as she nodded her head.
"I guess I better talk to her before she tells dad and Vegeta they won't have to wear a tux to the wedding" Cheena said as she walked towards Trunks, Goten and Miyuki.
"I don't think mom will allow dad and Vegeta to come in anything less then a tux" Goten said. Cheena sighed as she looked at him.
'With the way she's going anything is possible" she said as she walked back into the house. Goten just laughed as he followed her in along with Miyuki and Trunks.
"Feeling better?" Goku asked as the group walked back into the living room.
"Yea, just needed to think. Mom, can I talk to you in the kitchen for a minute?" Cheena asked. Chi-Chi nodded her head as she rose from the couch and walked into the kitchen. Cheena followed after and closed the door behind her.
"I'm going to make this quick. I love that you're helping me and all but I think I can make the decisions about my wedding. Not to say you can't help me because you can but not with everything" Cheena said. Chi-Chi stared at her for awhile then smiled.
"I just want to help" Chi-Chi said.
"And you can help me. I appreciate your help but you're helping a little too much. I don't want to hurt your feelings but I just have to tell you this" Cheena said. Chi-Chi nodded her head as she stared at Cheena.
"Ok, I understand" she said. Cheena was about to say something but stopped herself and left the kitchen. Walking into the living room, Cheena looked at everyone as they looked at her.
"Let's go upstairs and work on what will be going on tonight" Cheena said as she looked at Trunks, Goten, Miyuki, Marron and Risika. They all nodded their heads as they rose from the couch. Walking towards the stairs, Goten grabbed Cheena's arm.
"Well what happened?" he asked as everyone crowded around her.
"Everything is fine and mom is going to butt out" Cheena whispered. Everyone nodded their heads as they followed Cheena up the stairs. Coming out of the kitchen, Chi-Chi looked around as everyone stared at her.
"Well what happened Chi?" Goku asked. Chi-Chi had a puzzled look on her face as she sat next to him.
"What happened? What did Cheena say?" Bulma asked.
"It's the weirdest thing. She said that I'm not helping out enough. She want more of my help" Chi-Chi said.
"Uh Chi-Chi, are you sure that's what she said?" Bulma asked. Chi-Chi nodded her head then smiled.
"Of course and I have tons of ideas for her. Just wait until tonight's rehearsal. She'll be so happy to hear my suggestions" Chi-Chi said with a laugh. Everyone just looked at her, awaiting to see what she had in mind for the nights plans.
