Chapter 9: Wedding Day
The church bells were sounding off as a new hour approached. Standing in front of the church were a few people, talking and complimenting each other on their outfits. Inside the church was just as busy as outside as everyone was getting situated in their seats.
"Vegeta, would you hold still. Can't you just stand still for five minutes so I can fix your tie?" Bulma said as she glared at Vegeta.
"Woman, I can fix my own tie" Vegeta snapped as he glared back at her. Bulma smirked as she backed away and folded her arms across her chest.
"Oh really, show me then" she said. Vegeta grunted as he started to mess with his tie. Bulma's mouth dropped in shock as Vegeta dropped his hands, revealing his bow tie in place perfectly.
"Where did you learn to do that?" she asked. Vegeta smirked as he folded his arms across his chest.
"Don't worry about that' he said. Bulma smirked but then frowned as she grabbed Vegeta's arms and pulled them down to his sides.
"Can't you stand up straight. For one day can you at least act like you want to be here" she said with a sigh. Vegeta rolled his eyes as he glared at Bulma. As the guests were filling in, Risika and Pan were at the door showing them where to go.
"Hi, you can sit on the right. Glad you could make it" Risika said as she smiled at the guests as they passed her by.
"Who are all these people?" Pan asked as she smiled at a guest before looking at Risika.
"Some of Trunks and Cheena's friends from school, a few people that Bulma knows and everyone that Chi-Chi could find" Risika said. Pan laughed as she continued to greet the guests as they filed in. Chi-Chi smiled as she stood in front of the aisle, watching everyone take a seat.
"Nice turn out mom" Gohan said as he walked over to her followed by Videl.
"I know. Its going to be a great wedding and Gohan…fix your tie" Chi-Chi said as she reached up and straightened his tie.
"Mom…" Gohan said as he looked around. Videl covered her mouth as she started to laugh. Chi-Chi smiled as she stepped away from Gohan.
"There, all better" she said as she clasped her hands in front of her face. Gohan sighed as he stared at her.
"So is everything all set?" Videl asked as she slowly dropped her hand to her side.
"I think so. I haven't been to the back to see how everyone is doing" Chi-Chi said.
"Whose back with the guys?" Gohan asked.
"I sent Goku back there to make sure the guys are ready" Chi-Chi said. Gohan and Videl looked at one another then at Chi-Chi.
"You left dad in charge of getting the guys ready?" Videl asked.
"Yes, why is there a problem?" Chi-Chi asked. Shaking her head no, Videl smiled as she excused herself and walked away.
"I'm going to go head on back there and see how things are going" Gohan said. Chi-Chi nodded her head as she walked away. Gohan smiled as he headed towards the rooms in the far end of the church. As he walked by one room, he heard slight yells.
"That sounded like Cheena…I don't want to even know" he said as he continued down the hall towards the guys room. Inside the room Gohan passed, Cheena cringed as Miyuki rolled the curling iron in her hair.
"Ouch Miy, are you trying to burn me? What do you have that thing on? Burning hot?" Cheena snapped as she glared at Miyuki.
"Che, just sit still. I'm almost done ok" Miyuki said as she let the curl drop and grabbed another piece of Cheena's hair.
"You know, this is the first time I'll have my hair in curls?" Cheena said as she relaxed in the chair.
"You and Chi-Chi agreed on that? I never would of believed it if I hadn't of heard it myself" Miyuki said as she continued with Cheena's hair.
"Well I did want something different and mom said that curls would look nice in my hair. I really want to look nice but different" Cheena said.
"I hear what you're saying. I want to have a different wedding as well. There, finished" Miyuki said as she stepped away from the chair. Tightening the string on her robe, Cheena walked over to the mirror and gasped.
"Miyuki…is that me?" she asked as she slightly raised her hand to touch one of the curls.
"Don't touch it. Those aren't tight curls. They'll last for this wedding and the reception party. After that, they will fall out" Miyuki said as she unplugged the curling iron and set it to the side. Cheena smiled as she straightened the two loose strands in front of her face.
"How come you left these two pieces?" Cheena asked. Miyuki smirked as she folded her arms across her chest.
"Well I thought you'd want them there nice and straight. Two hair styles in one. Straight in the front, light curls in the back" Miyuki said. Cheena sighed as a huge smile fell on her face.
"I better get ready and so should you. Have you seen Marron?" Cheena asked. Miyuki shook her head no as she walked to a nearby pipe where Cheena, Marron and her dress hung off a hanger.
"No, she better hurry up and get in here" Miyuki said. Cheena nodded her head just as Marron came in. She had a tissue to her nose as she coughed a few times.
"Marron? You ok?" Miyuki asked as she looked at her. Marron shook her head no as she looked at Cheena.
"Che, I'm so sorry. I went out late last night for a swim even though it was freezing out. I have a cold but I can still do the wedding. I'm sorry" she said.
"Marron, its ok. The best thing for you to do is get better" Cheena said. Marron nodded her head before leaving the room. Sighing, Cheena sat down in the chair and prepared to run her hand over her hair but Miyuki grabbed her hand.
"I said don't touch" she said. Cheena sighed again as she looked at Miyuki.
"The wedding didn't even start yet and already I have problems" she said.
"What are you going to do? Uubuu can't go down by himself" Miyuki said. Cheena nodded her head then smiled as she stood up.
"Risika and Marron wear the same size right?" she asked. Miyuki smirked as she quickly ran out of the room and towards the main room of the church. Cheena sighed again as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.
*I hope they wear the same size* she said to herself as she stripped out of her robe and prepared to get dressed. Down the hall, Gohan and Goku leaned against the wall as the guys were getting themselves ready for the wedding.
"So Trunks, you nervous?" Goten asked as he fixed the cuffs on his sleeve. Trunks scoffed a laugh as he slipped into his tux jacket.
"Who wouldn't be nervous?" he asked as he buttoned it in the front.
"Me. I'm not going to be nervous when Miy and I get married" Goten said. Trunks glared at Goten then over Goku and Gohan who were glaring at Goten as well.
"Everyone gets nervous on their wedding day" Gohan said. Goten laughed as he slipped his foot into his shoes.
"Well I won't be nervous" he said. Trunks rolled his eyes as he fixed the cuffs on his shirt. Walking over to the mirror, she smirked as he looked himself over.
"I bet Bulma is going to faint when she sees you" Gohan said as he looked at Trunks. Trunks laughed as he looked at him.
"I look ok but I'm really curious to see what Cheena looks like. She told me last night that she was going to look different and I asked her what she meant but she wouldn't answer me" Trunks said.
"She means she's actually going to look nice instead of like that ugly person that has been walking around us for so long" Goten said as he brushed his hair.
"Goten, must you always get on Cheena's case. Can't you be nice for one day, especially this day?" Gohan asked.
"Gohan, as long as Cheena and I are twins, we will continue to go against one another. Its fun" Goten said.
"Anyway, I'm just curious on to see what she's going to do. I told her that she looked fine just the way she was but she said she wanted to look different for me. Go figure" Trunks said.
"Yea go figure with Cheena. I'm sure she'll look nice" Goku said. Trunks smiled as he continued to stare at himself in the mirror. Cheena was applying her make up as Miyuki, Marron and Risika came into the room.
"Cheena…" Miyuki said as she stopped. Risika smiled as she closed the door behind her.
"What do you think?" Cheena asked as she spun around, careful not to step on the long tail in the back.
"Cheena…you look great" Risika said.
"Yea Che, all I can say is wow" Miyuki said. Cheena looked down at the ground as her cheeks glowed a faint red color.
"Is that make up or are you blushing?" Marron asked. Cheena laughed as she looked at her then Miyuki.
"What's going on?" she asked. Miyuki smirked as she walked over to the pipe and took down Marron's dress.
"We're going to do a switch. Marron will put on Risika's dress and Risika will give up her dress to Marron" Miyuki said as she walked over to Risika and handed her the dress.
"I don't get it. Why can't Marron wear what she has on?" Cheena asked.
"Well switching will be better and besides Marron will help us in the wedding anyway" Miyuki said. Before Cheena could speak, Marron spoke up.
"I'm going to carry the tail to your dress down the aisle. I don't want you to trip over it or anything or have something happen so I'm going to carry it down for you" she said. Cheena laughed slightly as she walked over and gave Marron a hug.
"Don't start crying Che. Don't mess up your makeup" Risika said. Miyuki smirked as she walked over and separated Marron and Cheena.
"And don't mess up your hair" she said. Cheena laughed as she looked around at the girls.
"What are you all standing around for? Let's get ready. We have a wedding to conduct here" she said. Miyuki, Risika and Marron all cheered as they started to get dressed.
The church was filled as everyone sat in the pews talking to one another. Chi-Chi smiled as she sat next to Bulma.
"I think I'm going to cry" she said.
"Me too, that's why I brought these" Bulma said as she pulled out a small pack of tissues. Chi-Chi smiled while Vegeta growled at the sight of the tissues.
"Woman, can't you hold your tears for five minutes?" he snapped.
"No I can't and you're suppose to cry at events like these. I bet you'll cry too" Bulma said. Vegeta laughed as he looked at her.
"There is no way I'm going to cry woman" he said. Bulma and Chi-Chi exchanged quick glances as they smiled to one another.
"Dad's not going to cry mom. He doesn't cry" Bra said as she looked up at Vegeta. Vegeta looked down at her and smirked. Running towards the front of the church, Videl knelt next to Chi-Chi.
"Are they almost ready?" she asked. Videl was about to speak when Trunks walked down the aisle. Everyone smiled and took pictures as he walked by.
"Go Trunks" a person yelled while the others all cheered. Trunks had a smirk on his face as he walked up to the preacher. Shaking his hand, he placed his hands behind his back and looked at Bulma.
"He looks so cute" Bulma said as she waved to Trunks. Vegeta glared at her then at Trunks. A slight (very slight) smile plagued his face as he looked at him. Trunks cleared his throat as he looked around at everyone in the church. Videl stood up and walked down towards Gohan, sitting beside him.
"I think we're ready. Goku is already back there with Cheena so they should be ready" Bulma said. Chi-Chi was about to respond when Marron came running down the aisle. Trunks looked at her confused as she knelt down beside Chi-Chi.
*I wonder what's up and…isn't that Risika's dress? Something's up* he said to himself.
"Chi-Chi…" Marron said. Chi-Chi looked at Marron confused as she looked over what she was wearing.
"Marron what's going on and why are you wearing that?" she asked.
"Cheena wants to talk to you" Marron said. Chi-Chi looked over at Bulma who shrugged her shoulders and looked at Marron as well.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Chi-Chi asked quite frantically.
"No, she just wants to talk to you before we start. Everyone is ready to go but Cheena's still in the room" Marron said. Chi-Chi shifted her eyes from side to side before getting up and quickly hurrying to the back. Marron sighed as she stood up.
*She didn't have to run off. I didn't say it was an emergency* she said to herself. Walking towards Marron, Trunks tapped her on the shoulder.
"What's going on? Is everything all right? Where's Cheena?" he asked all at once. Marron laughed as she folded her arms across her chest.
"You're just like Chi-Chi. Stop worrying. Everything is fine. Cheena just wanted to talk to Chi-Chi before we get started. She's ready, we all are" she said. Trunks smiled as he exhaled.
"That's good but one more thing…isn't that Risika's dress?" he asked. Marron sighed as she prepared to explain everything to him. Walking down the hall, Chi-Chi looked to see Miyuki, Risika, Goten, Uubuu and Goku leaning against the wall.
"Good, now maybe Cheena will get out. Go get her mom and drag her out" Goten snapped as he folded his arms across his chest. Miyuki glared at him then at Chi-Chi.
"She just wants to talk to you about something. Nothing bad" she said. Chi-Chi nodded her head as she walked down to Cheena's room. Knocking on the door, she turned the knob to see Cheena sitting in the chair staring at her.
"Cheena, what's going on?" she asked.
"I just wanted to ask you something. That's all" Cheena said as she stood up. Chi-Chi was about to speak when she noticed how Cheena looked in her dress.
"Cheena, you look beautiful and your hair…I love it. Miyuki did it?" she asked. Cheena nodded her head before she started to speak.
"I wanted to ask you if you meant what you said before. Back when we were on different pages. You said that you didn't want me to marry Trunks anyway. You said that your reason was for me to keep my last name and not become a Briefs. I just want to know if you feel the same way. I know you may not think this is important but its important to me before I walk out there. Either way I'm going out there, regardless of what you say but I just wanted to know your thoughts" she said. Chi-Chi stared at Cheena before taking in a deep breath and exhaling it out.
"I'm not going to lie to you Cheena. I did feel that way before. I said it before because I was afraid of losing you to Bulma. Bulma is my friend and all but you're my daughter and I felt that Bulma would be gaining you as a daughter while I lost you as my daughter. I don't feel that way anymore. We'll both share you" she said. Cheena laughed slightly as she looked at her mom.
"Mom, you were never going to loose me. Bulma is going to be my mother in-law but she's not my mother, you are. You'll always be my mother and I'll always be your daughter. Nothing will change that, especially not a last name" she said. Chi-Chi nodded her and smiled.
"So are we all clear on that?" she asked. Cheena nodded her head as she heard a knock on the door.
"Come in" she said. The door opened up and in walked a man with two kids beside him. Cheena smiled as she looked at the young boy and girl in front of her.
"Hey Cheena, just dropping off Matt and Kristy for you" the man said.
"Thanks George, I'll take it from here" Cheena said. George nodded his head as he left the room. Smiling, Cheena knelt down in front of the kids.
"Matt! Kristy! How are you? You nervous?" she asked. Both kids nodded their heads as they swayed from side to side. Cheena nodded her head as she looked back at her mother.
"Mom, these are the kids I was telling you about. Don't they look nice?" she asked. Chi-Chi nodded her head as she knelt in front of Kristy and Matt
"You look pretty and handsome" she said.
"Thank you" Kristy and Matt said together with a smile. Cheena smiled as she stood up and took both kids hands.
"Let's go, we have to start this wedding. Mom, can you hand me that small pillow over there" she asked. Chi-Chi nodded her head as she walked to the dresser and looked at the small blue pillow. She smiled as she saw the rings laying on top.
"I think I'm starting to get nervous now" she said as she picked the pillow up. Cheena smiled as she took the pillow from Chi-Chi and handed it to Matt.
"Now be careful with this. Make sure you don't drop it ok. It's really important" she said. Matt nodded his head as he held the pillow in his hands.
"Are those for us?" Kristy asked as she looked at the rings.
"No, they're for me and Trunks and this is for you. You remember what we went over right" Cheena said as she handed Kristy a small basket. Kristy nodded her head as she looked inside to see different colored petals.
"I throw this on the ground and you walk on it" Kristy said. Cheena nodded her head before looking at her mother.
"Let's get started" she said. Chi-Chi smiled as she gave Cheena a hug and left the room. Taking in a deep breath, Cheena looked down at the twins.
"You ready?" she asked. They both nodded their heads as they smiled at Cheena. Taking their hands, Cheena walked out of the room. Leaning against the wall, Goten looked down at the kids then over at Cheena.
"About time you got out of there" he said. Cheena just smiled as she looked down at Matt.
"Go with him. He'll show you were to go, ok?" she said. Matt nodded his head as he walked over to Goten. Sighing, Goten took his hand and walked off. Cheena smiled as she followed after him with Kristy right beside her.
"Cheena, you look great" Goku said as Cheena approached.
"Thanks dad" Cheena said with a smile on her face. Goten smirked as he folded his arms across his chest.
"I have to admit, you do look nice Che" he said.
"Thanks Goten, that means a lot" Cheena said.
"Yea so why can't you look like this everyday?" Goten asked as he laughed. Cheena stared at him before laughing as well. The two stared at one another and continued to laugh.
"Here you go" Miyuki said as she handed Risika two small bouquets of white flowers.
"Why do I need two?" Risika asked.
"Its for Marron when she gets down there" Miyuki said. Taking them, Risika soon looked at Cheena.
"Che, where are your flowers?" she asked almost in a panic. Cheena quickly looked around, wondering the same thing.
"I got it" Miyuki said as she handed Cheena her large bouquet of assorted flowers. Smiling Cheena took it and happily held it in her hands.
"Ok, lets get in order" she finally said. Goten and Miyuki stood at the door ready to go out. The church noise seemed to die down as slow music started to play. Everyone looked towards the door as Goten and Miyuki slowly walked in. Smiles were on everyone face as the two made their way down to the end. Letting go of Miyuki's arm, Goten went to stand next to Trunks while Miyuki stood opposite them. Next in, Uubuu and Risika slowly walked in with smiles on their face. Getting to the end, Risika stood next to Miyuki and Uubuu next to Goten. Coming down the aisle next, Matt walked towards everyone with the pillow in his hands.
"He's so cute" someone said while others agreed. Matt looked around as he stood in front of Trunks.
"Where do I go now?" he asked. Trunks smiled as he placed him next to Goten. Next came Kristy with a smile on her face. Reaching into the basket she scattered the flower's on the ground.
"Twins…so cute" a lady yelled as she took a picture. Kristy giggled to herself as she reached the end of the alter. Looking in the basket, she looked over at Miyuki.
"There's some left" she said. Before Miyuki could say anything, Kristy ran towards the middle of the aisle and started over again. A few people giggled as she walked back over to Miyuki.
"Its all gone now" she said. Miyuki laughed as she took Kristy by the arm and placed her beside her. The slow music stopped and soon a new one started up. Everyone stood up and looked towards the door. In a matter of seconds, Goku appeared with Cheena holding onto his arm.
"Go Cheena!" someone yelled only to get hushed by other people in the crowd. Laughing, Cheena straightened her face as she slowly walked down the aisle with her father and Marron, holding onto the tail to her dress. Goku smiled as he looked at Chi-Chi then Cheena. Taking in a few deep breaths, Cheena exhaled it out just as fast as she looked at Trunks. His mouth was opened slightly as he watched her approach. Tapping him on the shoulder, Goten leaned towards Trunks.
"Would you close your mouth and smile" he said. Trunks smirked but soon smiled as he watched Cheena. Reaching the end, Cheena smiled as she looked at Trunks and him at her. Marron slowly dropped the tail of the dress and took her place beside Risika. Risika smiled as she quickly handed Marron her bouquet of flowers. The preacher smiled as he looked at Goku.
"Who gives this woman away?" he asked. Chi-Chi slowly stood up and walked on the opposite side of Cheena.
"We do" she said as she looked over to Goku, who had a smile on his face. The preacher nodded his head to Chi-Chi then Goku. Looking at Cheena, Goku quickly removed his arm. Giving her a kiss on the cheek, he walked towards his seat along with Chi-Chi. Trunks and Cheena smiled at one another before facing the preacher.
"We are gathered her today to join these two people in holy matrimony. If there is anyone who feels these two should not be married let them speak no or forever hold their peace" the preacher said. Trunks and Cheena both turned and faced the crowd. Everyone remained seated and quiet as the two turned and faced the preacher once again.
"I was told that you two wanted to say your own vows so Cheena, you can start" the preacher said. Trunks and Cheena turned to face on another. Closing her eyes, Cheena took in a deep breath. As her eyes opened, she quickly exhaled it out and prepared to speak.
"This is hard for me because I've never had to put my feelings for you into words. Trunks, you and I grew up enemies only to turn into best friends and lovers. You know what I feel for you. You are everything to me. You're the first person I think of in the morning and the first person I think of at night. I could never think of you last because you're not lost in my heart. I promise to always be there with you and for you no matter what. To support you through everything you do. To love, cherish, honor and respect you forever no matter the situation. I will be there for you, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I love you Trunks and I always will. You have my heart and I hope I have yours" Cheena said. Trunks smiled as he reached for her hand. Holding her flowers in her left hand, Cheena took a hold of his hand. Trunks took in a deep breath before he started to say his vow.
"Believe me Cheena, you have my heart. You've had it for as long as I can remember. When we were just kids you had it. I secretly had feelings for you but now its not longer a secret. I want everyone to know what I feel for you. No emotion can clearly classify how you make me feel. Every time I see you, think of you, or ever hear your name my heart and emotions overflow with words that cannot be said because they do not exist but they do to me. Cheena, I promise to love you forever through thick and thin, do death do us part, only to meet up again in the other world and continue where we left off. My love and respect for you will never die as long as you're by my side. I love you Cheena. I always have and I always will" Trunks said. Cheena opened and closed her eyes, trying her hardest not to let any tears fall down her face. Smiling at Trunks, Cheena turned towards the preacher as did Trunks.
"May we have the rings please?" the preacher asked. Matt smiled as he stepped up to Trunks and shifted the pillow towards him. Trunks smiled as he bent down and picked up the diamond ring.
"Trunks, repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed" the preacher said. Holding her flowers in her right hand, Cheena extended her left hand towards Trunks. Sliding the ring on her ring finger, Trunks repeated the words as he stared at Cheena.
"With this ring, I thee wed" he said. Cheena smiled as she looked at the ring then over at Trunks.
"Cheena, same with you. Repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed" the preacher said. Cheena smiled as she bent down and picked up the diamond wedding band.
"With this ring, I thee wed" she said as she slid the ring onto Trunks finger. Trunks smiled as he took her hand. Turning towards the preacher the two smiled.
"By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you two husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride" the preacher said as he looked at Trunks. Turning towards one another, Trunks leaned over and gave Cheena a kiss which she returned as well. Moving away slowly, the two smiled at one another.
"Ladies and Gentleman, may I introduce to you. Mr. and Mrs. Trunks Briefs" the preacher said. Everyone in the church cheered as they rose to their feet. Taking Cheena's hand, Trunks led her down the aisle. Marron followed holding onto the tail of Cheena's gown, Miyuki and Goten followed her and Risika and Uubuu brought up the rear.
"That was so beautiful. Those vows…they were so beautiful" Chi-Chi said as she blew her nose. Bulma nodded her head as she pulled out four tissues from her pack. Goku smiled as he took Chi-Chi's hand.
"Let's go" he said. Nodding her head, Chi-Chi held onto his arm and followed after Risika and Uubuu. Bulma smiled as she looked at Vegeta.
"Shall we?" she asked with a smile. Vegeta smirked as he took her hand and followed after Goku and Chi-Chi while Bra walked beside them both. Pan smiled as she got up and walked beside her mother and father.
"Where do we go now?" she asked.
"We're going to the hall to have the reception party" Videl said. Pan smiled as she followed after her parents, on their way to the reception to continue the celebration.
