Royal Coronation

"I've been everywhere today…"

" Except for one place… by your grandparents! You have one more important thing before this night is over…"

" Yeah dad, and what is that?"

" Your coronation."

Fear struck home as he hear those two words, your coronation. ' Oh no… that means I will have to meet me grandparents… but I'm not ready for this. I can't…. I can't be crowned the official heir to the throne… I'm not cut out for this… I'm not meant to be prince!' Trunks took of running in the other direction toward the restrooms.

" Trunks!" Ray shouted after him. She bowed back at Vegeta. " I'll be right back." Ray ran in the bathroom after Trunks. Lucky no one was in there. Ray looked up at her husband. " Trunks, what's your deal… you've been acting real strange lately.. What's on your mind? You can tell me anything you know."

" I know that Ray, but I'm…. I'm just…."

" Just what?"

" I'm not ready for all this. I can't just rush into this."

" Trunks… do you think I'm ready for this either?"

" But Ray there is one difference between us… your full Saiyan, I'm only half. My grandparents would never accept a half breed like myself into the throne. They wouldn't allow it."

" Trunks, I don't think they would be ashamed to have you as there heir… I don't think your father does, why would he even bring it up if he had any doubts?"

Trunks thought about it for a moment. ' Maybe Ray is right. Maybe I'm just over reacting…. But maybe my fears are also justified.'

Ray smiled back at her mate. ' Trunks… you can be such a worry wort sometimes. I have no doubts about your leadership skills. I know you will be an excellent king when the time comes. You've lived through all the madness in your time, I'm sure you can handle this.'

Trunks sighed to himself and then he looked back at his mate. " Ray, I thank you for being so confident in me. No one except for Gohan has done that for me before. As long as you believe in me I think I can go on…."

" Hey, I'm not the only one who believes in you Trunk Vegeta Brief. Everyone believes in you… your mother, your sister, the Sons…. We are all here backing you up. We know you can do this!"

Happy tears start to form in Trunks eyes. " Ray, you're the best mate a guy could ask for…." Trunks grabs Ray and starts to hug her. " Thank you Ray… thank you."

Meanwhile outside in the reception hall…

" VEGETA!" A man's voice yelled.

Prince Vegeta cringed. ' Kami… he still has a loud mouth….'

" VEGETA!" The man's voice rang out again.

Bulma came up to her husband. " Who is making that racket?"

" My father…."

" VEGETA!" The old king shouted for the third time.

Prince Vegeta growled to himself.. " Why does he have to make such a scene." He muttered.

" Well I guess you and your father are very much alike Vegeta." Bulma said.

" Don't remind me."

" VEGETA!"

Vegeta was getting pissed off at this point. ' I am so going to kill that old man…. he's been asking for it for years. Ever since he's got old!' Vegeta thought to himself. " FOR THE SAKE OF VEGETASEI SHUT UP FATHER, I'M OVER HERE!" Prince Vegeta shouted back.

King Vegeta walked up to his son. " Well I have been waiting a century for you to answer me brat."

" Father, what do you want… I'm not in the mood for this."

" Don't talk back to me in that tone brat! I'm your father and I will not stand for it!"

Vegeta growls back at his father.

" Now to the point… where is that son of yours… I haven't see him yet."

" That brat can be anywhere."

" He's been doing a good job avoiding us…." King Vegeta said.

" Now dear I don't think our grandson would be avoiding us…" Queen Vegeta said.

King Vegeta looked back at his mate. " How can you be so sure?"

" He's problebly nervous is all… he's never meet us before and he might think that we would be disappointed."

Bulma coughed. " If I may…."

King Vegeta looked at Bulma. " And you are?"

" I'm the boys mother…"

" So your are my daughter in law. I always wondered what kind of woman my Vegeta would be mating with…" Queen Vegeta said.

" Mother…" Prince Vegeta muttered.

" Sorry son. I didn't mean to embarrass you."

" That's what you said the last time, and the time before that."

Bulma laughed to herself. " Don't worry about it ma'am. My parents can be the same way."

" BULMA!" Another man called.

" Oh boy…"

" Bulma dear, where are you!" A woman's voice called.

The two people came over to the Vegeta's. " Ah so you must be my son in law's father and mother I presume." Dr. Brief said.

Bulma coughed again. " Father… be more polite! They aren't some common folk you know."

" I beg your pardon… excuse me….."

" No need to be so formal… It's not needed." Queen Vegeta said.

The Vegeta men growled.

Queen Vegeta laughed. " Don't mind those too… its just like the males in this family… so into tradition."

The Vegeta men mumbled to themselves. " Stupid women…"

The women glared back at them and they all hit them over the head with pans. Bulma smiled. " I guess Chi-chi was right… Pans do work on Saiyan men."

" I never thought of this one…" Queen Vegeta said.

" Mother… father…." Trunks called.

The family looked over at Trunks. " Welcome back son… you work everything out?" Bulma asked.

" Oh yeah. I'm much better about this now."

" So your finished hiding from our grandparents now…" Bra teased.

Trunks looked back at his sister. " Do you love dissing me every time you get a chance?"

" No…. I just think its funny."

" Well its not funny!" Trunks shouts back.

Ray comes next to Trunks. She looks back at Vegeta's parents. " Hello again… King and Queen Vegeta…."

" Hello Ray. You've grown up to be a wonderful princess.." Queen Vegeta said, " And now I find out your marrying my grandson."

" Yeah, well I'm honored…."

King Vegeta gave Ray a glare. " Lets get on with this…. We have put it off long enough!" King Vegeta starts walking away.

Ray leans over to whisper to Queen Vegeta. " Did I do something wrong?"

" No… he's just the unemotional type… it's a habit."

" Oh good… I thought I did something wrong."

King Vegeta stood up on a plat form and began to speak to the large group of people in front of him. " Hello…. Today you are hear to see an historical moment. Today is the coronation of my grandson Trunks and my daughter in law Ray."

Everyone in the room clapped. Trunks and Ray stepped on to the platform and everyone started clapping again. Once again Trunks was nervous. ' Oh man… this is it… my life as a normal teenager is over! I can never have a normal life again. I'm going to be… ah!' Trunks thought to himself again. He was thinking of running off again but then he thought that would be a dishonor to his father if he did that. Trunks sighed again. ' I'm going to face this as a man!'

King Vegeta approached Trunks with a crown. He places it on his head.

" With this crown… I recognize you… as Prince Trunks, heir to the throne of Vegetasei!" King Vegeta bowed to Trunks and Trunks did likewise.

Queen Vegeta came up to Ray. She too placed the crown on Ray's head.

" With this crown I recognize you… as Princess Ray, heir to the throne of Vegetasei!" Queen Vegeta bowed to Ray and Ray did likewise.

Everyone in the room clapped. " Look upon the next rulers to the throne!" King Vegeta said. All the Saiyans in the room bowed to Trunks and Ray.

Trunks was now more confident in his abilities to rule his people. He turned back at Ray. " Now its time for the fun part… our honeymoon."
