A/N: Sorry to disappoint you, but first the wedding party with the wedding dance and other things. A big thanks to my reviewers!



animeprincess1452: Yes, weddings are nice, but painful at the same time too! The honeymoon will be the next chapter, and it will be published soon! Thanks for reading all those chapters and glad that you liked 'em!                         



SonJanusX: Thanks! Although I found it quite hard to write a wedding... but I like to think I managed to do so well! And I know I'm cruel, but the honeymoon is next right after this chappie...                 



Silver Warrior: In my opionion Vegeta had always respect for Gohan, especially since he beat Cell and Bojack. He IS a warrior who has been turned into a jerk in GT (sadly), but I'll rectify this later on...

and you'll soon see where Gohan is taking Videl...                    



matt zero: Thanks for the suggestion, but I already wrote another honeymoon in another fic of mine in which the new husband took his wife to another planet. Dunno if I'll repeat it...                     



demonman21: You're right, good guess! The power of IT WILL play a role...



And a BIG THANKS to my beta-reader Tiff! You rock!




Gohan and Videl: Our beginning



Chapter 11: The wedding party




Last time...

By now the others had all gathered and Chi-Chi signalled for the newlyweds to join them.

Videl and Gohan stole a brief moment to look at each other longingly. Just a few more hours and then they'd be able to be alone to share a love they had waited for so long...

As they walked back inside Videl whispered into Gohans ear.

"Hey Gohan, where are you taking me for this... uh, honeymoon?"

Gohan just smirked.

"You'll find out soon enough."

"Gohan!" Videl exclaimed.

But the demi-Saiyan just smiled goofily (deliberately) as they reached the reception area...



Now the continuation...

The wedding party proved to be quite a festivity. More than that, everyone was enjoying themselves and having fun. Hercule proved his skills as an entertainer, and he was doing it quite well. For this day the Z-Fighters even forgot that Hercule was a fraud who had taken credit for Gohans deeds, but in a way Hercule had paid Gohan back.

Meanwhile, Goku remained some distance away in the shadows. He watched Gohan and Videl interact with each other. He was looking for something very special, something Vegeta had told him would either display itself or not.

Vegeta had told him, that Gohan and Videl had bonded like only Saiyans would do. So he (Goku) was seeking for something stronger than love from the heart in those two. He had suppressed his KI, so that the newlyweds wouldn't sense him. With his patented goofy grin, he found what he was seeking. The two interacted in a manner that had Vegeta caused to say 'those two are acting like Saiyans, Kakkarot'.

It was a bond even he, Son Goku, although he virtually knew nothing about his Saiyan heritage, had created with the hot-tempered, 'one-more-word-and-we'll-see-if-my-frying-pan-is-harder-than-your-skull' daughter of Ox-King so many years ago.

And even the mighty prince of all Saiyans suffered from that bond many, many years ago when he first laid eyes on the obnoxious, 'loud-mouth-can't-shut-up-for-a-sec', Bulma.

Now satisfied, Goku slipped out of the room unnoticed to rejoin the party. He was glad that his son and daughter-in-law had bonded in this way, cause it only strengthened the love they felt for each other. Yes, those two were destined for another...



And then Bulma opened the dance-session as she acted as a disc jockey and began playing the music.

"Ladies and gentlemen, LET'S DANCE!" she exclaimed, and then she grabbed her husband, who was naturally looking not all that pleased, and dragged im onto the dance floor, all the while smiling happily.
~ Bah, I hate these baka human traditions! ~ Vegeta thought. ~ But if it makes the onna happy... ~

At once Videl grabbed Gohan and attempted to drag him onto the dance floor, too.

Gohan, however, shook his head fiercely.

"Oh no, Videl. I'm NOT going." he said, putting up resistance deliberately. This was not the song he wanted to dance to with her, so he had to put up some resistance until he could give Bulma a sign. She was inaugurated...

"Oh YES, you are." she insisted with fire in her eyes.

"I don't wanna dance." he replied fake-gruffly.

"Oh c'mon already, just one dance? It's tradition after all. And I want it SO MUCH..." she said, with a mellow eye mark-on.

Gohan felt it hard to resist her, but he had to...

"No, don't wanna. You know I can't dance."

"Hey, you are not that bad. You proofed yourself during dance training."

"Yes, but...."

"No buts! Let's go." she decided and simply dragged him along with her.

"Videl!" Gohan protested as he grabbed hold of the table.

Videl simply pried his hands off only to be pulled short once again. Gohan had grabbed something else. This time, he had a hold on his surprised father.

"Dad," he pleaded, "is there any possibility to stop her from doing this to me?"

Goku looked at his eldest son.

"To stop her from doing what to you?" he asked. Then it dawned on him...

"She wants to make you dance with her!" he grinned.

His son nodded.

Goku shook his head.

"Sorry, son. No chance." he smiled at his son with sympathy. ~ One advice, son: just pull through. And remember, it's your wedding dance. So make your wife happy. ~ he told his son telepathically.

~ My goose is cooked! ~ was Gohan's thought as he was slowly dragged towards the dance floor. ~ But dad IS right: this is to be her dream day, and I will do everything to ensure that it IS. As much as I hate dancing, but if I have to dance than with the right song...~

Once on the dance floor, Videl was having even more trouble with Gohan.

"Gohan, c'mon, just one dance then I'll let you return to the table. It won't kill you."

"Yeah, but that's not it. This is not the song I wanted to dance to with you." he said smirking, and gave Bulma a sign. Bulma just nodded. She knew what to do.

And the next song being played was just perfect, for it was 'When you say nothing at all'. Gohan did not know who had performed it, but that did not really matter to him. He had heard the song before, and had thought it was wonderful and the perfect wedding song. His hesitation to dance with his wife had all been a plan the highly intelligent demi-Saiyan had come up with. He had waited for the right moment, for he wanted to ensure his wife the perfect day, and thus he needed the perfect wedding song for them played at the right time...

But the only thing that mattered now once they were dancing was his wife...

They enjoyed this dance as if they were alone in the room. Bulma and Chi-Chi had noticed the dreamy look in the young couples's eyes and on their faces, and nodded to each other. This was TRUE love...

Chi-Chi had harsh difficulties to suppress the urge to jump up and down crying 'Grandbabies! Grandbabies', but for Gohan's and Videl's sake she suppressed this urge. As hard as it was. So she distracted herself...

Soon, all too soon, the song was over, and the next was being played. It was 'The greatest love of all', a very nice song, too.

Videl smiled at her husband.
"One more dance, Mr. Son?" she asked, and a smile played in her eyes.



Gohan was about to answer with a definite 'Yes, Mrs. Son' when he was suddenly distracted. He poised his nose to the air and sniffed.

"Ooooh....they are making a barbecue! C'mon Videl, I'm nearly STARVED! Weddings do make SOOO hungry!" he exclaimed.

"But... but you... arrrgg! Trust a Saiyan to go for food!" Videl exclaimed as she followed her husband through the crowd. When it came to meat, Gohan's nose was as sharp as a bloodhound's. He tracked the source of the smell in mere seconds and was at the grill giving his mom, who had apparently started this 'little' barbecue, a pleading look before Videl could only set one foot off the dance floor. Yeah, trust an ever hungry Saiyan to obtain food sources...

The other Saiyans took interest in the fresh food, too. Even Vegeta had unglued himself from his wife, much to the displeasure of Bulma. All non-Saiyans had by now joined the barbecue, but stood back and awaited their turn. The Saiyans always seemed to have first dibs on food sources. But then again, who'd be suicidical enough to challenge them for it? Yes, having Saiyan blood certainly had its advantages...



Gohan and Videl, being the reason for the festivity were served first followed by Goku and Vegeta. Once all were served and seated, there seemed to something of a silence. Saiyans rarely talked while eating and concentrated on their food as much as they did in battle.

Gohan gave Videl a glass of wine and watched her curiously. He knew she rarely ever drank the stuff (he didn't either), so he decided to tease her a bit.

Videl sniffed it then turned to gaze back at Gohan. He grinned and urged her to try it while at the same time, taking a sip from a glass of his own.

"What? It's just wine, Videl. Red whine, to be exact. Fits just perfectly for a barbecue." Gohan explained, already sounding somewhat like the scholar his mother wanted him to be.

"But its ALCOHOL." she whispered.

"You're not allowed to drink it?" Gohan teased.

"I'm an ADULT too!" Videl retorted, pouting.

"Then just try it. One won't hurt you. See, it did not hurt ME." he said.

Videl then looked around and saw her father who had eaten and now looked as if he was about to fall asleep right at the table. Obviously he had fallen for the allurements of alcohol, too...

"But it's so dangerous, Gohan. Take a look at my dad."

Gohan did so and smiled. Poor Hercule...

"One really won't hurt you, my love. Here, I'll drink half." Gohan said as he grabbed her glass and downed some wine contained within.

"Gohan, don't drink too much!" she warned.

"Why?" he asked curiously.

"Because it affects the MALE sexual performance. Too much of it and you'll spoil our honeymoon!"

"No, I won't. Remember? I'm a SUPER SAIYAN after all." he boasted.

Videl looked at her husband puzzled.

"And what's that got to do with alcohol consumption exactly?" she asked.

Gohan looked at her and grinned in the typical Son manner.

"Dunno. Just thought it'd fit somehow." he stated.

Videl smiled, too.

"Gohan, for a genius, you're such an idiot sometimes." she mocked.

He nodded.

"Genius, idiot, sometimes both..." he grinned.

Videl took Gohans wine away from him and gave him juice instead.

"Hey, but this is the boring stuff, Videl!" he protested.

Videl shook her head.

"This is just a precaution in order to prevent YOU from being such later on, gawk." she mocked.

Gohan just smirked.

"I'm NEVER boring, Videl. You'll see!" he replied confidently.

"We'll see Gohan... we'll see." Videl replied.



Meanwhile, before too many more strange things happened (like more not-so-sober fathers or other not-so-sober guests) Chi-Chi and Bulma had decided to go to the next stage... a REALLY HUGE cake the two of them had created (rather manufactured) in a whole days work was brought out. The result of Chi-Chi's and Bulma's work was outstanding!

"Is that supposed to be OURS?!" Videl said quietly as her eyes nearly jumped out of their orbits.
~ I am never gonna eat this MUCH cake! THAT would ruin my figure! ~ she thought

Gohan grinned. He must have heard her thoughts...

"That cake is fit for a Saiyan and his wife I'd say." he said.

Chi-Chi urged them to stand and come forward to face the huge cake. She held the knife out to Gohan who waved it off to Videl. She took a look... Videl then found a good spot to slice the pooor white-frosted cake. Videl fed her husband symbolically, a sign that she would care for him for the rest of their lives. Gohan did the same for Videl, and the crowd 'Oooed` and 'Awwed' at this display of affection. Several guests clapped.

Once Gohan and Videl had had their slices, the others were served, too.

Gohan couldn't resist placing large chops of frosting onto Videl's nose. She giggled and threatened in turn to smear some across his face, but he ducked at the last moment possible. Instead, the cake ended up on another face... a very surprised face... Goku's!

"Darn it! Missed!" Videl exclaimed and then looked around to see where it had landed... "Oooopsy... sorry Goku." she said sheepishly.

As Gohan sat down again, he saw what Videl had done.

"Woah, nice look dad." he said with laughter.

Goku looked like a clown, and reinforced this impression by laughing before cleaning himself, which he rather did by eating the 'misdirected' cake than using a table napkin. Naturally the gathered crowd laughed too. It was just to funny, but that was Goku for you...



As time dragged by, our happy couple opened gifts, spoke with guests, etc, until it was finally time for Gohan and Videl to depart for some 'time to themselves', also known as the honeymoon. Before such however, it was time to see who the 'next' happy couple would be...

Videl sat on a chair and offered her leg to Gohan so he could remove her garter. He pulled the thing softly off her leg, smiling at her. Turning his back to the crowd, he launched it backwards towards them. And it turned out... that Barry was its final landing spot! And he did not seem all too sorry for it. Well, Gohan would see if he could improve Barrys' chances with the females by giving him some training. Naturally after the honeymoon.


But looking at Barry, maybe he (Gohan) would have a free field to help his friend. Gauging the way Elisa's sister Alex looked at him (they had invited Alex too after Gohan and Videl had heard what exactly the chibis had done during the time Alex had babysitted them) she seemed to like him a lot. And that was obviously vice versa...

Others on the other hand rejoiced...

~ Heh heh, luckily it's not me who's destined to get hitched next... ~ Sharpener thought, rejoicing that it wasn't him. He wanted his continued freedom and enjoy his youth first...

Videl then grabbed her bouquet of flowers and repeated the procedure for the ladies. The flowers found their way into Elisa's hands. Naturally, Elisa gleamed with joy and gave her boyfriend Sharpener a kiss. Only that Sharpener did not look all too happy... (A/N: so much for his continued, freedom, heh heh)

Once the commotion had died down, Videl and Gohan said their farewells. For two weeks they'd be alone together and carefree... if only Videl knew where they were going, that is...
