Trunks asked the big question

Many months have gone by. I was happy with Trunks. I had a feeling that something was going to happen… something wonderful. Trunks was up with his parents. He was so nervous.

" Trunks honey… what's wrong?"

" I can't do this."

" Trunks she is just a girl."

" Ya but she's a Saiyan girl."

" So what! For the love our people… just get it over with." Vegeta said.

" But father…"

" Vegeta… this has to be special."

" You humans make the simplest things so hard."

" I want her to be surprised and all… I don't just want to do it. I want it to be special father. I love her."

" That's great son. So where are you two kids going tonight?"

" I'm not sure really."

" Well when you make up your mind let me know."

" I sure will."

" Uh son…"

" Uh?"

" Did you get her a ring?"

" Oh hell I forgot! Thanks for reminding me. I'd be completely lost if it wasn't for you."

" I know… same thing with your father."

glares at Bulma " I'm not that hopeless."

" I'm just kidding. So you want me to go with you?"

" No, no. I'll be find on my own."

" Alright then son."

He walked down the stairs.

It was a normal afternoon. Trunks was bored out of his mind. Ray of course was busy with her work. Acissej came down to Trunks. " What's up?"

Trunks just looked back at her. " Nah… nothing much. It's the same old thing. Where's Ray?"

" You know my sister. She locked herself in her 'lab' again."

Trunks sighed. Acissej had a feeling there was more to that sigh. " Trunks… Is there something wrong?" She asked him in a concerned way.

" Well, I would have hoped that Ray would want to spend more time with me. I didn't think that she would shut herself in her lab again."

Acissej smiled at Trunks again. " Oh course she wants to spend time with you Trunks. She loves you a lot/ She is just waiting for you to make the first move."

" But I did." He insisted.

" I know… but she needs to know you didn't do that just to be nice. She needs to know if you truly love her."

Trunks smiled at Acissej. " I'm way, way ahead of you." Trunks said.

Acissej looked at Trunks with this look of confusion. ' What the heck is he talking about? He's not seriously going to take it to the next level is he!'

" So what do you mean your ahead of me? What are you planning?"

Trunks went into his back pocket. Acissej looked at Trunks with curiosity. Trunks pulls out a small black box. Acissej looked at the box. " Is that what I think it is?" She asked in an excited tone.

Trunks nodded. He opened the box. There was a diamond ring inside it. Acissej was so happy for her sister. " Oh my god, Trunks… she will be so surprised when she sees that!"

The noise could be heard all the way from the upstairs in the lab. Ray couldn't take it anymore. " Ah! Those two are going to drive me up a wall!"

She got up from her swinging chair and she walked to the door and opens it. She leans over the railing. Trunks quickly puts the box away.

" Will the two of you shut up!" She shouted.

" Sorry." They said sheepishly.

" Thank you." Ray stomped back to her lab and slams the door.

Trunks cringes at the sound of the door slamming. " Oh man… now she's angry at me. How the heck am I going to ask her if she is in that mood?"

" Don't be discouraged. Just give it a few minutes. Then you cab go up there and ask her."

" Well I was going to do that tonight… it will be more romantic that way."

Acissej smiles at Trunks " Yes it would be."

A few minutes later Trunks walked up the stars. He knocked on the door. Ray looks up from her writing. " Who is it?"

" It's me Trunks… can I come in?"

Ray sighed. " Come on in." She swelled around in her chair and she faced Trunks as he came in. He shut the door behind him.

" So how's your work coming?"

" Alright. But I know that's not what you came here to ask me." Ray said.

' She's so smart.' Trunks smiled. " Yeah your right. Alright well I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go out with me tonight."

Ray smiled at Trunks. " Sure why not." She turned around in her chair. " Are we going to a fancy restaurant?"

" Semi Fancy."

Ray smiled. ' Something's up.' She thought.

Trunks smiled again. " I guess I will see ya later. We will leave at 6.pm." Trunks opened the door and he walked back down the stairs.

Acissej was waiting at the bottom of the stairs. " Well… What did you say?"

" She said that she would. I hope she will want to marry me."

" Will you stop worrying so much."

" I'm sorry. It's so exciting… you know. It's just that I don't want to be shot down."

Acissej smiled at Trunks. " My sister wouldn't think about turning you down."

Trunks sighed. " I hope your right Acissej."

Time when by so fast. It went faster then anyone could realize. It was almost 6 o clock. Trunks was getting prepared. His soon to be sister in law gave him some advice about what to wear. Trunks put on this nice looking suit. Trunks comes out of his room. " So how do I look?" He asked.

Chibi Trunks laughed. " What on Earth are you wearing?"

Mirai Trunks cringes. " It's a suit."

" You look like a butler." Chibi laughed.

Mirai Trunks looked back at Acissej. " Do I really look like a butler?"

" Don't mind him. He's just acting like a jerk. You look great in that suit."

Acissej gave Chibi a dirty look.

Ray came out of her room. She was wearing a nice dress shirt and a skirt… a denim skirt. She truly hated dressy, girly cloths. She preferred warrior/fighting attire.

Trunks saw Ray as she walked out of her room. ' Man she looks beautiful.' He thought.

" So how do I look Trunks?" Ray asked.

Trunks cleared his throat as he began to speak. " You look nice." Trunks said.

Acissej gave Trunks a disappointed look. " There were a million lovely things you could have said, but what poetry comes from your mouth, ' You look nice.'"

Trunks gave her a look back.

" No need to be upset about it sis. What he said, that doesn't upset me. So Trunks, you ready to go?" Trunks smiled at Ray and they took off.

They got to the restaurant and they sat down and ordered. When they were alone Trunks took the opportunity. He walked next to Ray. He got on one knee and he pulled out the black box.

Ray looked at Trunks, ' I knew something was up.'

Trunks started to smile. " Ray… from the day we first meet… I knew there was something about you that I loved. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you… so… Ray… will you marry me?"

Ray was in shock. She smiled back at Trunks. " Of course I will. I love you Trunks."

Trunks was so happy. He put the ring on her finger.

Ray looked at Trunks. " So did you plan all this out with my sister?"

Trunks blushes a bit. " Well she did help me out a little bit. I was completely lost. She gave me some tips. I hope your not angry."

" Of course I'm not angry. The man I love asked for my hand. And I gave it to him. I couldn't be more happier if I tried. I'm glad you did Trunks."

The rest of the evening went well. Trunks and Ray got home. Bulma and the others were in the living room. Acissej noticed them coming in the door.

" So how did it go?"

" It was the best night of my life sis." Ray said.

" So what happened?" Bulma asked.

Ray started to tell about the whole thing. After she was finished Bulma was thrilled. " Oh my Trunks… I'm so proud of you!" She came over to her son and started hugging him so tight.

"Mother… I can't breathe."

Bulma let go. " Sorry. I just got excited."

" I can see that."

" So I guess we gotta make plans for the wedding."

Ray and Trunks looked at each other. " Oh dear… this is going to be hell."
