Chapter 15

It was the big day April 21st, Laura and Trunks birthday. They were both turning 18. Bulma was holding a huge party for there birthday. Everyone was going to be there, even Laura's family. They didn't want to miss out on there daughter turning 18. Laura went shopping the day before to get a new dress for her birthday. It was a red strapless dress that had slits going up on the sides. While she was at the mall, Trunks went to the jewelry store, to get the ring for his soon to be wife. Laura was getting ready upstairs; she put on her dress, her red shoes, and her medallion necklace. She decided to put her hair up in a bun, and left some strands of hair out to hang loosely on the sides of her face. She also had daisies in her hair; they were her favorite, because when Trunks first met her he gave her a daisy. Laura went downstairs to see if Bulma needed any help with preparing anything. When she tried to enter the kitchen, she got shooed out by Bulma saying that she shouldn't do anything on her birthday, and to just enjoy it. So Laura went outside into the backyard. She sat down on the swing and just looked at all the flowers growing. The backyard was her favorite place to be out of the whole house. She loved all kinds of flowers ever since she was young. She just sat there for awhile just thinking about her life, and how happy she was. A couple of minutes later Trunks came outside. He was wearing black dress pants, and a white long sleeve top. He was also wearing the rings that Laura gave him around his neck.

"There you are" said Trunks walking over to her. "I've been looking for you."

"I came out here" said Laura. "It's my favorite place to think, and I love the flowers."

"You are so beautiful" said Trunks spinning her around. "Your parents and sister just arrived. Come let's go say hello."

"Alright" said Laura taking his hand. They walked back into the house and went into the living room. Laura's family was sitting on the couch waiting for Laura.

"Hi everybody" said Laura walking over to them.

"Laura" said Heather running to give her sister a hug. "Happy Birthday."

"Thanks Sis" said Laura.

"Happy Birthday sweetheart" said Darien and Anita.

"Thank you" said Laura giving them a hug.

"Happy Birthday to you too Trunks" said Anita giving him a hug.

"Thanks Anita" said Trunks smiling.

Ten minutes later everyone else arrived including some of Trunks and Laura's friends. The party was being held out in the backyard, Laura's favorite place to be. There were tons of balloons and streamers all over the place. One section was filled with all the food that Bulma and Chi-Chi prepared. Another section had all the music and the stereos. Everyone was enjoying there selves. Half way through the party Bulma put on a slow song for the couple to dance to. Trunks and Laura went out into the middle of the backyard to dance. They were so happy enjoying there birthday together.

Awhile later it was time for cake. Everyone said Happy Birthday to Trunks and Laura as they blew out the candles together. After they did everybody clapped. Once everyone was done eating, it was time for them to open presents. Laura's parents gave her a puppy for her birthday. It was a husky her favorite.

"Awe thanks mom and dad" said Laura.

"You welcome sweetheart" said Darien kissing the top of her head.

"Open mines next Laura" said Heather.

"Alright Heather" said Laura taking the present from her sister. When Laura took off the cover of the box, she just looked at it with a surprised look on her face.

"OMG Heather" said Laura. It was a t-shirt that had Trunks picture on it. She had always wanted one since she was young.

"Wait there's more" said Heather. Laura looked once again in the box. This time when she took the gift out she started laughing.

"Trunks look" said Laura showing him the gift. It was a couple of action figures of Trunks. One was when he was eight, and the other one was him now.

"Wow" said Trunks. "Never thought I would see myself as an action figure." Once everyone was done giving Trunks and Laura there gifts. It was time for Laura and Trunks to give each other there presents.

"Here Laura" said Trunks giving Laura a box. Laura opened it just smiled. It was a beautiful bracelet with a huge heart in the middle. There were words written in the middle of the heart.

"What does it say Trunks?" asked Laura.

"It says My Angel in Saiyan" said Trunks smiling.

"Thank you" said Laura giving him a kiss.

"Your welcome" said Trunks smiling. "I had a little help from your dad."

"Here's your gift" said Laura giving him her gift. He opened the box and took the gift out. It was a gold chain with a Saiyan Prince on it. "It says My Prince in Saiyan."

"Thank you" said Trunks giving her a hug.

"Your welcome" said Laura smiling. "I also had help from your dad. Trunks put the necklace around his neck. It was like it was made for him. Everyone was waiting for the big moment to happen, suddenly it did.

"Laura" said Trunks getting down on his knee. Laura turned to look at him and just stood there in shock. "I love you with all my heart. Ever since I first met you, you have been the love of my life. There is no other person I would want to be with. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. He pulled out the box and opened it. Will you marry me?"

Laura just stood there in shock with tears falling down her face.

"Yes Trunks" said Laura crying. "Yes I will marry you" she ran into his arms and gave him a kiss. He put the ring on her finger. It was a beautiful ring with a huge white diamond in the middle and small pink diamonds going around it. Everyone was clapping and whistling as hard as they could. Bulma and Anita were crying softly. There were happy for the both them.

"Mother" said Laura going to her mom all excited. "I'm getting married."

"Congratulations sweetheart" said Anita giving her a huge hug. "I know you'll be happy with him."

"Yes" said Laura smiling.

"Come over here sweetheart" said Darien. Laura walked over to her father. "Look it how much you've grown up. I'm so proud of you."

"Thank you daddy" said Laura giving him a hug.

"Oh sweetheart" said Bulma giving Trunks a huge hug. "Congratulations."

"Thanks mom" said Trunks smiling.

"She's going to make a great wife Trunks" said Vegeta.

"Yeah" said Trunks. Before everyone left the all said congratulations to Trunks and Laura.

"I'm so happy" said Laura hugging Trunks. "You've made me the happiest woman alive."

"And you've made me the happiest man alive" said Trunks giving her a kiss.

"Laura" said Bulma giving her a hug. "Welcome to the family."

"Thank you Bulma" said Laura smiling.

"Do you promise to protect my daughter with all your heart?" asked Darien.

"Yes" said Trunks smiling.

"Now when do you guys want to have the wedding?" asked Bulma.

"How about in July Trunks?" said Laura.

"Sure why not" said Trunks. "That's a good idea. I really didn't want to wait long."

"We've got so much planning to do Anita" said Bulma. "We've only got three months. I know we can do it. This is going to be soo much fun."

"Kristi" said Laura looking at her. "I'd like it if you would be my maid of honor."

"Oh I'd be happy to Laura" said Kristi giving her a hug.

"And Goten" said Trunks. "I'd like it if you would be my best man."

"Sure Trunks" said Goten. "It would be an honor." After that everyone else left. Laura's parents were going to stay the night and then head back to New Jersey the next day.
