Now the chapter...
When Saturday afternoon arrived, Bulma made sure that Trunks didn't miss his appointment for getting his suit arranged. So, despite the harsh windy weather and cold chill of the early afternoon, they made it down to the store. They were oblivious of everyone else's presence.
"Now, what am I going to get them for a present?" Bra wondered, glancing at the racks in the gift shop. "There's a lot of things I could get them, but what would they truly appreciate?"
"Okay, Trunks. I'm going to check around the store for a while and I'll meet back with you at the entrance. Alright?"
"Yeah, Mom," he consented.
"Alright, then. Have a nice time." She left the shop, clutching her purse handily.
"A nice time? I hope she's being sarcastic..." Trunks didn't exactly feel fully comfortable at the idea of someone fixing up his suit while he was wearing it...
"Now, you boys behave," Chi-Chi said. "I'm going to look around for some wedding presents while you have your suits adjusted. I'll return in a little while."
"Okay, Chi-Chi. We'll see you later." Her husband waved to her.
"Why couldn't we just order something, instead?" Goten inquired.
They made their way to the desk near the back of the busy shop where they happened to come across the groom.
"Trunks? What are you doing here?" Goten asked.
"Adjustments," he replied quietly.
"You, too?"
"What?" Trunks looked up at both Goku and Goten with a shocked expression. "You mean, you have to get adjustments, too?"
"Yep," Goku nodded.
The three of them scowled while leaning on the desk. "Yeah, my mom made us," Goten told him.
"Same here."
They each exchanged angry glances before sighing, waiting for the clock to finally read one in the afternoon.
. . . . . .
"I do have a lot of money," Bra noted to herself. "I could get them something expensive. What would they actually want, though? What would Demi actually want is the real question, as a matter of fact. Oh, this is so aggravating!" Bra sighed in her frustration.
She stared at the different gifts...the usual, miniature porcelain figures, dinner sets, jewelry, and every common gift. She wanted to get them something really different and grand.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the store, Pan, Videl, and Gohan were searching for some wedding gifts that they could properly present to their friends.
Pan seemed to be having the most trouble. "I don't have a clue as to what to give them." She crossed her arms.
"The most sensible gift to give them would be something that would come in handy once they're married," Videl told her. "You know, something to go in their new home, maybe."
"Hey, are they even finding a new house?" Gohan wondered.
"Well, actually, I think Trunks is going to move in with Demi once they're married," she replied.
"I think I have an idea of what to give them. I'll be right back." Their daughter made her way down to the other end of the store where they were selling electronics. As she entered, she ran into Bra.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"I'm beginning to wonder," Bra replied. "I can't think of anything to give them for their wedding. I thought about getting them this big-screen television, but it still doesn't seem good enough."
"Wow, you really want to impress them, huh?" Pan asked, raising an eyebrow. "You know, newlyweds often want something that's going to come in handy for them," she told her, remembering what her mother had said. "You know, something useful."
"I see...hey, that gives me a wonderful idea! Thanks, Pan!" Bra exited the store quickly, leaving Pan to glance at the big-screen television sets by herself.
. . . . . .
"Bulma!" Chi-Chi exclaimed. "You're here?"
"Good afternoon, Chi-Chi! I didn't expect to see you." Bulma smiled at her friend.
"Yes. Say, what did you get Trunks and Demi for their wedding?"
"Huh?" Bulma seemed confused.
"I only ask because I don't want to get them something you've already gotten," the other replied.
"Oh, well, I got them something really nice," Bulma said slyly. She motioned for Chi-Chi to lean in closer so she could whisper of her gift.
Chi-Chi gasped. "Oh, my! Did you really?"
"Yes ma'am!" Bulma nodded with pride and cleverness gleaming in her eyes. "They're in for a lovely surprise, I believe."
"Undoubtedly! Well..." Chi-Chi glanced around. "I suppose I might get them something from both Goku and myself. And I think I have just the idea, too. It was good to see you, Bulma."
"Bye, Chi-Chi."
. . . . . .
Bra, rather excited of what she'd just thought of, headed down the road in her car, heading off her usual course a bit. She knew exactly what she was going to give them. She just couldn't wait until they saw it and how they would react.
She parked outside of the large, glass building and stepped out. She hung her purse over her shoulder and looked up at the marvelous architectural structure. "Okay. Now, where is that guy?"
. . . . . .
"Wonderful. This is so nice..." Chi-Chi inspected it closely before nodding in approval. "This will do very well. Excuse me..." She caught the attention of one of the employees. "I'd like to buy this."
"Sure," he nodded. "You'll just have to fill out some paperwork for the payment and shipping."
"Alright."
. . . . . .
"Right." Pan picked up the box and carried it under one arm to where other people were paying for their items. She set it down on the conveyor belt and the employee rang it up for the price.
Pan grinned to herself. It might not be the most fancy present, but who could object to receiving the gift she'd chosen?
Once she'd paid for it, Gohan and Videl caught up with her.
"Are you ready to go, then, sweetheart?"
Pan nodded. "I got something I think they'll definitely like. Did you guys get something, yet?"
"Nothing much. We just thought it would come in handy for the both of them," Gohan told her.
. . . . . .
"Hey," Bra approached the young man behind the counter with a glare of business in her eyes.
"Well, I haven't seen you in a while!" the man grinned. "What brings you here?"
"I'm going to make a purchase. It's for a wedding present..."
"Ah?" his expression straightened.
"For my brother who's getting married," she told him with a confidential tone.
"Ah, yes!" he exclaimed. "Of course! Just follow me and I can show you the latest and best of what we have!"
Bra followed him up the stairs until she was on a side railing, staring before her and below her at dozens of, to her, potential gifts. But none of them seemed to strike her as nice enough for what she had in mind.
"Is this all you've got? What about those other ones I looked at a bit before?" she asked the dealer.
"Aha! I know just what you want then!" He led her over into the one of the separate large rooms.
When she saw these potential gifts before her, she smiled widely. "Yes! This is exactly what I want to get them!"
"You like it, yes?" the dealer smiled.
"Yes!"
"Well, in that case, Miss Bra, I'm willing to make you a special deal. I know how you like a bargain."
"Oh, I always like a bargain," she told him, inspecting and examining the chosen present more closely.
"Half-price for you, then," he told her.
"Half-price for this beauty?" she exclaimed in delight. "That's a steal!"
"It is a wedding, isn't it?" the dealer grinned.
"That's why I like your deals the best. I'll take it!"
. . . . . .
"Thank you, sirs!" the employee said. "We'll have your tuxedos shipped to you in a week!"
"Thank heaven that's over," Trunks said. "Man, that's uncomfortable. Just having to stand there while you're pinned up..."
"I know. But, we went through with it, at least, and it's over with."
Both Bulma and Chi-Chi met up with their families just in time.
"Good, you're done," Chi-Chi said. "Now we can go home. I need a break from all of this."
"You're telling me," Goten remarked, until suddenly they turned their heads to a fast approaching figure.
"Demi?"
Demi hurriedly advanced towards her fiancé with a look of panic on her face. "I had to tell you, something really bad has just happened. I don't know what to do right now, I had to find you guys as soon as I could." She put a hand to her forehead.
"What is it?" Bulma inquired.
"My house..." Demi hung her head and groaned. "It just burned down..."
Well, was it okay enough? Review!
