Chapter 6
Things seemed to go back to normal as the picnic continued. The two new saiyans, however, tried to keep out of the conversations and excitement as Vegeta and Piccolo. They did listen on though since they were able to understand this foreign language, all thanks to Bulma's new invention.
Bardock watched his son, Goku as he continued to talk to some of his friends, mostly Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and his son, Gohan. He couldn't understand how he could be having this much fun, and carefree conversation. It was indeed strange for a saiyan warrior, as he should have been, to be completely emotionless than laughing as hard as he could.
"What are you telling the guys, Goku?" asked his wife, Chichi, who walked up behind him with a basket in her hands. It seemed to be filled with cookies.
Goku rubbed the back of his head as he began explaining, "About the first time we went on a date. And when I promised to marry you." He gave a cheesy grin.
Chichi's eyes began to sparkle as she brought a balled fist to her chest. "Yes, I remember that. It was so romantic! And we were only kids."
Goku gave a hardy laugh, "Yes, and look at us now. We are happily married, and have two wonderful kids." Chichi gave a smile.
"I know! It's just like a fairytale! It even includes the action of fighting and sacrificing of lives for innocent people too. Which reminds me... You better not die on us again!" exclaimed Chichi as she walked to the other side of the room in a huff.
"Happily married, you said?" asked Krillin with a sneaky grin. Goku laughed as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Yes, happily married!"
Married... Bardock had no clue, whatsoever, of what his son was talking about. Maybe it was some weird Earth custom...
"Hey Dad! Vegeta! Um... Vegeta's dad! Why don't you pull up a chair and join us?" he asked in his cheerful voice.
"Kakarot, why would I want to do something like that?" asked the prince as he kept his arms crossed.
"Oh come on!" exclaimed the saiyan, "I know you want to."
Vegeta slightly choked. "What?"
"Come on, and stop being so stubborn!" The prince mumbled something under his breath before he walked up to them and pulled up a chair sitting among the group. And, following the prince's example, Bardock also joined, and so did the king, but reluctantly.
"And why exactly have you started asking questions about marriage?" asked the prince with a smirk, "Do you have a certain someone in mind?" he stated glancing over to Videl, who talked with some of the women on the other side of the kitchen.
A feint blush could be seen on the hybrid's face as he gave a small nod. The men around couldn't help but chuckle. "When will the question be asked, Gohan?" asked Yamcha sipping on his beverage.
"Well... um... you see..." stuttered the young adult as his blush began to brighten. Gohan pulled out a small black box, and briefly brought it up for the men to see, "I t-think I'll ask her soon..." He quickly put it away.
The human men, including Goku and Vegeta had a smug look on their face till they began to hoot and holler cheers to the teen. Of course, they stated nothing of the ring and his plan to propose. They would try and keep it a secret till Gohan asked the question.
"Any why exactly is there so much excitement here?" asked a female voice behind Gohan. The hybrid saiyan turned around and looked up to come face to face with Videl. She gave him a warm smile and in response, he gave a nervous chuckle.
"Um..."
Videl just stared at him, "Why is it that I have this feeling you will try and lie out of it?" Gohan gave her his innocent puppy eyes, but she gave him a look, which basically told him 'the eyes aren't working...' "Come on Gohan, tell me. I'm going to find out anyways."
Gohan sat there in thought for a moment, before he looked to the other men. All with smirks. He looked up into Videl's eyes as she waited for his response. "I guess you're right about that..." He reached into his pocket.
"Videl, ever since I first met you at High School, I thought you were the prettiest and nicest girl there," he started off with a blush staining his cheeks once more, "And I grew to love you as I got to know you better..."
The young adult went down on one knee. Videl watched Gohan, and her knees seemed to go weak. "G-Gohan?"
Everyone stopped what they were doing to watch; the room seemed deathly silent till Gohan spoke.
He continued as he pulled out the box and opened it, revealing a diamond ring, "What I'm trying to say is... Satan Videl, will you marry me?" Many gasps around the room were heard; Videl placed a hand over her mouth and a small sob left her lips.
Gohan looked up to her; he was very, VERY nervous, almost fearful.
Videl leaned down and kissed Gohan on the lips before everyone. The little kids in the back began to gag and choke.
"Get a room!" exclaimed Trunks.
The young couple came up slightly blushing, and Videl was able to 'sneak' Gohan a hug. "Yes! Yes, I will marry you!"
Almost everyone in the room stood up and clapped or cheered at the new engaged couple.
Bardock looked to his son, and poked him on the shoulder. Goku looked back as his father asked, "What is 'Marry'?"
Goku grinned widely as he answered, "Marriage; my son and his girlfriend are going to become mates! Isn't it great?!" The earth-raised saiyan went over to the couple to congratulate them.
"Mates?" asked the saiyan king as he stood up to watch them. Bardock gave a smile as he folded his arms.
"I guess so..."
