Chapter 5
Thanks for the reviews. Here's the answer to see if they are engaged or not. I have writer's block. I know what's going to happen, but it really is heard to get it down to type. So bear with me.

"WHAT?" Tai asked.
"Here's the ring." Uub said as he pulled a red velvet box out of his pocket.
"But..." Tai said.
"I know we are young. I know we haven't explored anything. But I LOVE YOU and I WANT TO BE WITH YOU." Uub said.
"I love you too, but..."
"No buts. Shhh. Listen your heart. Don't listen to the world. I'll follow you to Julliard. I'll go to college somewhere near there or I can get a job. I want to be with you."
"Okay then. Sure. Let's get married. YES! I'LL MARRY YOU!" Tai squealed before she and Uub pulled in her into a passionate kiss.
"Good. Now that you two are engaged you can get out of my life sooner." Goten said sarcastically.
"Least I'm moving on with my life." Tai shot back as she opened the velvet box and slipped the ring on her finger.
"Least I can come up with better come backs." Goten said.
"Sure you can." Tai replied sarcastically.
"Whatever. See you later. I have a date with Paris." Goten said walking out the door.
"You can forget the big brother speech." Gohan said to Tai.
"What speech?" Tai joked.
"That's not funny." Goku said.
"Okay, Daddy, I'm eighteen, I can take care of myself. I am going to Julliard anyway. And I probably wouldn't have been a virgin any longer either." Tai teased.
"You're seventeen, not eighteen. And if you lose you're virginity before you are married, I will see personally that Uub will not have anything use." Goku warned as Uub shuddered.
Tai rolled her eyes and turned around to Uub, "I've gotta get changed. How about you, me, the woods, for a picnic and then some hiking."
"I like that." Uub smiled.
"Cool, then I see you in about an hour. Bye." Tai said as she gave Uub a quick kiss.
Uub, then left, quickly I may add. Tai then turned around to face her father. Instead of joy (which most would wear if they just got engaged), anger reflected in her eyes.
"Dad! Why were you so rude to Uub! He did nothing to you!" Tai complained.
"I don't want you marrying him." Goku said.
"WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOT WANTING HIM TO MARRY ME? WE'RE IN LOVE AND WE WANT TO BE TOGETHER!" Tai yelled.
"You're too young. You need to get out in the world. You try new things... new people." Goku explained to his daughter.
"NEW PEOPLE! TOO YOUNG!" Tai screamed. "If my memory suits me, you and Mom got married when you were young too! You didn't have 'new people'! Why can't I?"
"Because I want a different life for you! I want you do something for yourself! I want you to-"
But Goku couldn't finish, Tai had cut him off, "Well, I'm going to marry Uub no matter what you say! I'M EIGHTEEN!"
"You're seventeen and if you live under my roof, you're not getting married!"
"I'll be eighteen in three days! And as for the under roof thing, I'm moving in with Uub the day I turn eighteen!" Tai yelled as she ran upstairs, slamming the door behind her.
Tai quickly locked her door and ran to her bed. Sometimes couldn't even stand her father. Yes, their relationship had been rocky the past couple of months, but... it couldn't be that bad could it? Sure, they had gotten along quite well, at times, but then there were the times that Tai couldn't stand Goku. He didn't understand at all! Sure he let her live the life she wanted too (for the most part), he was letting her act, but now, it seemed that he absolutely disagreed with everything Tai wanted. Why couldn't he accept Uub? He liked him once... before they started dating. Tai then decided she should get ready for hiking and the picnic. What would she wear? What would she bring to eat? One thing is for sure, she was not going back downstairs. She was so mad at her father she could scream. Tai walked to her closet and looked at her clothes.
"What to wear? What to wear?" Tai asked aloud.
For once, she didn't know what to wear. Tai had been a fashion guru and that's the truth. But now she couldn't decide. The clothes shouldn't be anything she especially favored, and easy to move around, since they were going hiking. But then again, she was engaged now. She would want to look nice in front of her new fiancé. This was incredibly confusing. Tai finally decided what to wear. She had decided on a red flannel shirt, blue jeans, and her favorite hiking boots. Tai then braided her hair into two braids and put on a white bucket hat.
"Should I wear it or should I not?" Tai questioned as she looked at her ring.
It was a beautiful ring, platinum (Tai hated gold jewelry) with a princess cut diamond. It sparkled when the light hit it. Beautiful. Uub did a good job picking it out. She wondered when he got it? How long had he been planning it? Tai decided she would ask him later. Tai grabbed her backpack and stuffed it with a change of clothes and some cash. Now how to get out of this prison, Tai wondered. She already knew how to of course. She had snuck out of this room plenty of times before, whenever she was grounded. Tai walked to her window and opened it. It was a two-story drop, but Tai didn't care. She had fallen from higher altitudes before, when training. Tai jumped out of the window and ran over to her car. Then she left.
"So what do we have to eat?" Uub asked when Tai arrived.
"Subway." Tai answered. "It's healthy and good too."
"I like the way you make food better." Uub replied bring Tai closer to him.
"I know you do, but I wasn't about to go back into that kitchen." Tai replied giving him a quick kiss on the lips.
"Trouble in paradise?" Uub asked.
"No, it's just may dad. He doesn't want us to get married." Tai said turning away from Uub.
"Figures." Uub said in an annoyed tone.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Tai asked.
"He hates me and you know that." Uub explained. "Hated me ever since we got together."
"He says we are too young." Tai said sadly.
"You don't agree with him, do you?" Uub asked, afraid.
"Of course not! We're going to get married no matter what!" Tai yelled.
"Good." Uub smiled.
"Now let's forget my dad and get on to eating! I'm starved." Tai replied happily handing Uub a sandwich.
"Saiyan stomachs, I guess I'll have to put up with that for the rest of my life." Uub laughed as he watched Tai bite into her sandwich.
"Wewy fwummy." Tai said as she chewed he food. (Translation: Very funny)
After the hike, Uub and Tai had decided to go do something fun and just hang out. First, they had to stop by Uub's apartment. It wasn't very big, but Uub said it was good enough to live in. Tai liked it. She thought it was compact and cool. Perfect to live in. Tai then began to unbutton her shirt.
"What are you doing?" Uub asked.
"Changing." Tai replied. "You're not weirded out or anything are you? I just thought we can change in fron of each other."
"No! Of course not." Uub lied.
Truth was, he was nervous. He had never seen Tai nude, or changing before. They would do it in front of each other once they were married, but Uub still had the jitters. He hadn't even seen a naked girl before either. But before he knew it, Tai had changed. She had on a black halter-top, another pair of blue jeans, and black flip-flops. Uub decided he should change too. Tai had gone into the bathroom to do put on some make-up so he quickly changed into a red shirt, a black jacket, blue jeans, and sneakers. Sure he wasn't as dressy as Tai was, but he didn't care. Tai came back wearing a dark cherry lipstick, some blush, eye shadow, and mascara.
"Hey let's go!" Tai exclaimed grabbing his hand and leading him outside.
"Are we going to take your car or mine?" Uub asked.
"Neither. We are going to walk." Tai replied.
"Where?" Uub asked.
"Anywhere." Tai replied. "Oooooh! Let's get some coffee."
"Fine with me." Uub smiled.
He didn't care if they walked. The mall was two miles away but that was nothing compared to them. They were trained to walk farther, do more things. They were different than most people.
"Coming?" Tai asked.
"Yeah." Uub replied as he laced his fingers Tai's.
"Let's go then." Tai smiled.
That was the way they walked. Fingers laced, smiles and secret glances at each other. It was perfect. Uub didn't really like the walk. He liked being with Tai, but all the guys ogling and gaping at Tai really ticked him off. She was his, not theirs to look at. Uub sent evil glances at them, but most kept on staring. Couldn't anybody tell she was taken by the ring on her finger? Tai didn't really like it, and he knew. She told him she didn't like it. Finally, they reached the mall and Schmo's Joe. Frances wasn't there, Instead, there was a boy there that went to Tai and Uub's school. His name was Lyman Jacobs and he claimed that he was the king of the world. The couple ordered vanilla hazelnut coffee and went to sit in their usual quiet corner.
"I love this place." Tai sighed. "Whenever I'm sad or lonely, I go here."
"You've told me." Uub replied.
"So we need to talk about wedding plans and honeymoon plans and stuff." Tai said.
"Let's get a private honeymoon suite with a king sized bed and a couch!" Uub exclaimed.
"In Greece." Tai added.
"Huh?"
"I want our honeymoon to be in Greece. I've always wanted to go there. I've been to France, Hawaii and the Bahamas, so why not Greece. I heard it is so beautiful." Tai answered. "Oh! And I want to have an outdoor wedding, not really big, just family and close friends."
"I think you're taking this a little too fast. We just got engaged. Can we have one day of peace?" Uub pleaded.
"Sure, why not." Tai secretly smiled. "Want to go to Victoria's Secret?"
Uub just smiled as Tai pulled him out of his chair, almost spilling the coffee.
That was the end of Chapter 5. How was it? Was it boring? So tell me in your reviews. Oh! And here's a sneak peak of Chapter 6.
"Tai killed mom..." came Gotens voice.
"I agree." Gohan agreed.
