I Love You Chapter 22 Graduating and Getting Married
Music blasted from all around the room, color lights flashing everywhere.
Trunks and Pan were inside The Angel and were looking for Bra, Goten, Marron, and Uub. They had gotten in because of Trunks.
Trunks took Pan's hand and they found the table their friends were at. Goten and Bra were making out like always and Marron and Uub were talking and drinking.
Pan sat next to Marron and Trunks sat next to Pan. "Hey guys what took you so long?" Marron asked. Pan smiled innocently and answered her friend, "Nothing." Marron nodded, obviously not convinced. Then, Marron grabbed Uub's hand and dragged him to the dance floor. Trunks took Pan's hand too and lead her to the dance floor.
On the dance floor, Pan was a little nervous. "Trunks? I don't think I know how to dance…" Trunks smiled at her reassuringly and whispered in her ear. "Don't worry Panny… I'll teach you. Anyone can dance. You just gotta move with the beat." He put his arms around her waist and started to move. Pan unconsciously slid her hand behind his neck and moved with him. Soon, she got the hang of it and they were dancing like they've been doing it all their life.
Trunks lowered his head to her ear and whispered huskily, "You sure do learn quick…" Pan blushed but didn't say anything. They started grinding faster with the music.
Goten and Bra were dancing at the time too and noticed Pan and Trunks. "Wow I didn't know Pan could dance like that!" Bra exclaimed. Goten was shocked too. "How about we raise up the competition?" Goten asked slyly. Bra smirked and grinded against him faster and harder. Goten looked up and met Trunks' knowing look. It's on, they both thought.
Trunks whispered in Pan's ear again, "Looks like we have a little competition going on Panny. Think they can beat us?" Pan looked confused at first but saw Goten and Bra dancing, and caught on. She smirked her Vegeta-like smirk and didn't reply anything. Her actions said it all.
Soon, people were crowding around the two couples. Some even cheered. The Dj spoke on the mike, "Ladies and gentlemen looks like there's a little competition going on. Let's see which dancing couples can make it!" He put on a different song and the crowd cheered louder. It was Like Glue by Sean Paul.
Later, Bra and Goten were getting pretty tired. Bra was panting hard and Goten whispered to her, "Tired?" She nodded and talked back, "Yeah… Those two are pretty good… They're tough… We'll just let them have their fun." Agreed, they stopped dancing and were panting heavily. The cheered even louder for Pan and Trunks.
"Looks like they quit…" Trunks said to Pan. She smirked, even though she was breathless. "I think I've had enough too…" They stopped too. The crowd cheered loud for them, making Pan blush. "I thought you said you couldn't dance…" Pan wrapper her arms around him and whispered, "Maybe I just had a great teacher…"
"Alright! Looks like that couple wins! Now let's give them a breather and put on a nice slow song. Every guy take a girl and step up to the dance floor."
Oh, thinking about our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now, nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me coming back for more
Trunks smiled and wrapped his arms around Pan's waist. She put her arms around his neck and looked into his eyes. They stared intently at each other, not caring about anything else.
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
"Heaven…" Trunks whispered.
Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Pick you up when you're feeling down
Now, nothing can change
What you mean to me
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way
"I love you…" Pan whispered softly.
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Trunks leaned closer and rested his forehead on hers.
I've been waiting for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are coming true
Through the good times
And the bad
I'll be standing there by you
"I love you too…" Trunks barely whispered.
Baby, your all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Ohh, ohh, ohh
He leaned closer and gently put his lips on hers. It was a sweet kiss and Pan felt her knees go weak.
Ohh, ohh, ohh
We're in heaven
The rest of the night went by smoothly for Trunks, Pan, Goten, Bra, Marron, and Uub. At around three in the morning, they headed back to Capsule Corps. The girls headed straight to Bra's room and collapsed on her bed. The guys, used to partying out late, followed the girls to make sure they were okay and headed toward Trunks' room.
A few months later…
It was the day of graduation for the seniors at West High. Pan and the rest of the Z-gang were in the audience, watching as Bra received her diploma from the principal. Bra's graduation… I can't believe how time flew by so fast… Soon, Marron and Uub will get married… Then… AMERICA! Pan's thoughts were interrupted by an eruption of applause. Pan looked up and noticed that everyone had received his or her diplomas and everyone was congratulating.
Pan jumped off her seat and attacked Bra in a fierce hug. "YOU DID IT B! YOU FINALLY GRADUATED!" Bra hugged her friend back and tried not to choke from her death hug. Pan let go after realizing she was almost killing her best friend. Bra coughed and let out, "of course I graduated Panny! It was only a matter of time." Then she let out a huge smile to the person behind Pan.
"GOTEN!" Bra shouted. She leaped towards him and hugged him. Pan smiled and stepped out of the way.
"I'm so proud of you B…" Goten whispered in her ear. Then he pulled back and kissed her lightly on the lips.
They heard a cough behind them and saw Trunks standing there with a smirk. Goten smirked back and let Bra go. She jumped into her brother's arms and hugged him. Trunks hugged back and planted a kiss on her head. "I'm happy for you baby sis… Love ya!" Bra smile widened at his words and the others approaching them.
"All right! Let's go back to Capsule Corps for the banquet!" Bulma announced.
The group started to go to Capsule Corps but Pan stayed back. She caught sight of a certain senior and decided to say congratulations. She felt someone wrap their arms around her and found that it was Trunks. He gave her a knowing smile and nodded.
The two of them walked through the crowd of graduates and found the person they were looking for. His back was to them and Pan tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and Pan gave him a big hug. Trunks stepped back, giving them space.
Ryan was caught by surprised when he felt someone attach them to him. He recognized the person as Pan and hugged her back. She pulled back slowly and looked at him.
"Congratulations Ryan…"
Ryan flashed her a sincere smile and said, "Thanks Pan…Um…"
Trunks walked to him and held out his hand. "Congrats man." Ryan looked at him in surprise, but smiled back and shook his hand. "Thanks Trunks."
"Ryan… Listen, we're having a banquet at Trunks' if u wanna come with us…" Pan asked. Ryan looked hesitantly at Trunks to see if he looked like he disagreed with her. Strangely, he looked like he agreed with Pan's idea.
"Thanks Pan… But I think I'm gonna have to decline your offer… I appreciate it, but I think I should celebrate with my family… Thanks though." He gave her a small smile apologetically.
Pan smiled in understanding. "It's okay Ryan, I understand." She hugged him one last time. "We gotta get going… Take care okay?"
"Of course Pan. You too…"
Trunks and Pan walked away with one last wave.
Pan… I'll never forget you… Thanks for giving me a chance… I'll always keep you in my heart… Trunks… Take care of her.
Capsule Corps.
Everyone from the Z-gang was hanging around at Capsule Corps. They chatted amongst themselves, occasionally congratulating Bra when they saw her.
Marron, Uub, Goten, Bra, Pan, and Trunks were out on the Capsule deck while everyone else was inside. Each guy had their girlfriend/fiancée protectively in their arms. Pan broke the comfortable silence. "B graduated… Soon Mar and Uub will get married… Then America!" She squealed excitedly. It was out of her character, as the others noticed.
"Why are you so excited Pan? You've been to outer space!" Bra mentioned lightly.
Trunks smirked. "Oh I remember those days… Searching for the dragonballs…"
Pan laughed out loud. "Good times Trunks."
The others didn't fully know what really happened up in space. It will always be in the memories of Goku, Pan, and Trunks.
"So are your wedding plans going well Mar?" Bra asked the older girl. Marron looked thoughtful for a second before replying, "Oh it's going great! We just need to get our dresses fitted ladies!"
Bra screamed in delight. "SHOPPING!"
Pan covered her face and groaned. Bra and Marron double-teamed and pouted. "Panny… It's my wedding… Please…" "Come on Panny… Don't be Miss Grumpy…"
Pan rolled her eyes at Bra's comment but relented on Marron's. After all, they were going to America after all this. She couldn't wait. All she had to do was to keep that in her thoughts.
The Day of the Wedding…
"Where is it? Where is it?" Uub searched frantically around the room.
Goten came in and looked at him weird. "Um Uub… Why are you on the floor?"
Uub looked up at his friend frantically and said, "Goten! I can't find the rings! Marron's gonna kill me! You gotta help me!"
Goten held in his laugher at his friend's unnecessary misfortune. "Uh Uub… Calm down man… I have them, remember?"
Uub abruptly stopped his searching and stood up. He looked at Goten with the strangest look with a mix of relief. "GOTEN! DON'T DO THAT! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW NERVOUS I AM RIGHT NOW!"
Goten waved his arms in front of him. "Sorry, sorry. It was funny watching you get all worked up though." Then, he gave out a laugh.
Uub scowled and crossed his arms. "Oh yeah? Well we'll see when it's your wedding day. You'll know what I'm talking about. And anyways, when are you planning to propose to B, huh?"
Goten's cheeks tinted a slight pink and he squirmed where he was standing. "Well actually…"
Uub's eyes widened. "Goten? Did you…"
"NO! I mean… Not yet… But… I mean… She just graduated… And… I was thinking to propose when she turns eighteen… When we're in America… But I haven't told anyone yet. I was gonna tell you and Trunks later… But since I told you now, I might as well tell Trunks too, after your wedding. Don't tell anyone else though! Well maybe except Marron…"
Uub smiled at his friend's small confession. "Of course Goten. Marron won't tell B."
"Thanks Uub."
The Girls' Room...
Marron sat on the chair in front of her dresser. She looked at her porcelain skin with a tinted pink on her cheeks. She had baby pink eyeshadow and matching lipgloss. Bra had done her makeup and she did a great job. She didn't dump every color in the world to make her look like a clown. No, it was natural with a little bit of blush and foundation.
Chichi had done her hair. She pulled it into a tight bun on top of her head with a few loose curls, framing her delicate face. Pins that sparkled in the light were in her hair with the bun.
She had a tiara on the top of her head with a veil covering her face.
Marron stood up and looked at her full reflection in the long mirror.
Her dress was the lightest shade of pink that was close to white and it reached all the way down to the ground. The sleeves cut off on her shoulders and the matching pink gloves went up to her elbow. The dress design but simple, yet elegant. It was perfect for Marron.
Marron grabbed her bouquet of flowers and sighed. This is it…
She turned around at the sound of the door opening and saw her mother, Bulma, Chichi, Bra, Pan, and Videl.
18 walked to her daughter and gave her a hug. "My baby's finally getting married…"
Marron hugged her mother back and smiled.
Next, Pan and Bra ran, or at least tried to in their bridesmaid dresses, and gave her a choking hug. "WE'RE SO HAPPY FOR YOU MAR!" Bra cried out.
Marron hugged them back, equally as hard, and replied, "Thanks guys."
Pan stepped back and smiled big. "So… Are you nervous?"
Marron nodded her head shakily. "Oh… REALLY nervous… What if…"
Bra stepped back also and shook Marron by the shoulders. "Oh honey please! Don't even! Everything's gonna be fine, don't worry."
Marron smiled. "Thanks B."
Videl, Chichi, Bulma, and 18 stood back and watched the scene. "They grew up nicely, didn't they? Pretty soon Bra and Pan will be getting married too… And…" Videl stopped and started to cry.
Chichi and Bulma agreed. "But think… GRANDCHILDREN! Or in my case, GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN! Actually, I'll get both from Pan and from Goten… Oh this is wonderful! They're gonna be so adorable!"
Chichi continue to ramble while Bulma, Videl, 18, Pan, Bra, and Marron sweatdropped.
There was a knock on the door that signaled them it was almost starting. Chichi, Bulma, Videl, 18, Pan, and Bra looked at each other and started to walk out the door. Each turned to Marron before they left and smile and said good luck.
Marron sighed once more. All right… It's time…
Uub stood at the altar, nervous and squirming. He received soothing looks from Trunks, Goten by his side and Pan and Bra on the other side. Soon, the music for the bride started to play and Uub was fiddling with his fingers.
The door opened and everyone stood up to see the bride walk down the aisle.
Marron heard the music and took her father's arm. Her arm was shaking and Krillin noticed. He whispered to her gently, "You'll be fine Marron…" She heard and nodded.
Not a second later, they started to walk down the aisle.
When Marron came into view, Uub's breath caught in his throat and his eyes widened. Sh…She's…
When Marron and Krillin were at the altar, Uub came and took Marron's hand. Krillin squeezed her arm for comfort one more time and nodded approvingly at Uub, before letting go and sitting in his seat.
"You're breathtaking…" Uub whispered to Marron's ear. She blushed and the priest started to speak.
Later…
"Do you, Uub, take this woman whose hand you now hold, to be your true and wedded wife; and do you solemnly promise before God and these witnesses to love, cherish, honor, and protect her, to forsake all others for her sake; to cleave unto her, and her only, until death shall part you?"
Uub glanced at Marron and smiled softly and turned back to the priest. "I do."
The priest then, turned to Marron and said, "Do you, Marron, take this man who now holds your hand, to be your true and wedded husband; and do you solemnly promise before God and witnesses to love, cherish, honor, and protect him, to forsake all others for his sake; to cleave unto him, and him only, and him forever until death shall part you?"
Marron, as did Uub, turned to look at him and smiled too. "I do."
"…I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Everyone cheered as Uub lifted Marron's veil and gave her a sweet kiss. As he pulled back, he whispered in her ear, "We'll finish this later…" Marron blushed hard and smiled at him.
At the reception…
Marron, Uub, Pan, Trunks, Goten, and Bra were sitting around their own table, chattering. Goten spoke up. "So Uub… Hope you two have fun during your honeymoon." He winked, implying something else. Uub and Marron caught it and blushed. Bra poked Goten in the ribs and scolded him. "Goten, don't tease." Goten lowered his head and pouted. "But B…" Bra glared hard at him. Goten gulped and nodded. "Sorry baby."
Trunks laughed out loud at his friend. "Looks like my baby sis has you on a tight leash bro!"
Goten crossed his arms and grumbled to himself and Trunks only laughed harder. Pan took this chance to hit Trunks on the back of his head, hard. "TRUNKS! Stop laughing at Uncle Goten or our date tonight is cancelled!"
Trunks immediately stopped his laughing and looked at Pan with a horrified expression. "Panny, No! I'm sorry baby; don't do that. You can't…"
Pan's glare pierced through him and Trunks shrank back. "You know very well that I can Trunks." She humped and turned her head.
Trunks took this time to wrap his arms around her. "Sorry baby… I love you…"
Pan smirked and turned back around. Everyone at their table cracked up. Goten, the hardest. "TRUNKS IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE ON A TIGHTER ONE!"
Trunks looked dumbfounded for a second, before realizing what had happened. Pan's smirk got wider and she kissed him on the cheek. "You just got a taste of your own medicine Trunksie…"
Trunks pouted and unwrapped his arms around her to cross his arms. "Not fair Panny… You tricked me…"
Pan laughed at him and everyone else too. Trunks rolled his eyes and ignored them.
Suddenly, soft music started to play and each guy asked their girl for a dance.
Hours later, the reception was over and the Z-gang was ready to say goodbye to the new husband and wife for their honeymoon.
"BYE MAR! TELL US ALL ABOUT IT WHEN YOU GET BACK!" Bra shouted the loudest.
Pan rolled her eyes, but yelled to her friend too. "Bye Mar! Have fun tonight, if you know what I mean!" And she gave a wink, receiving blushing faces of Uub and Marron who had heard her.
There we have it! Chapter 22! Hope you enjoyed it! I kind of rushed through Marron and Uub's wedding… But I promise to try to make cough someone else's better! And also I'm not really sure of all the things the priest and what not says! So I'm gonna need help when I need to put lots of details! Thanks for waiting for this chapter because I haven't updated in forever! RR please and thank you! Til next time!
