Chapter 14 – Big News
Time past for all of them, and they each had grown and different experiences over the 5 months that followed their time training in the desert. They all kept up there practicing to different degrees, but each knew they had to be ready when the large army would appear. As time when on some of them began to wonder if the army was going to come at all. Then something 5 months later happened that would bring everyone back together.
Serena and Darien were sitting across from each other in the kitchen of their small apartment. They had a stack of letters in front of them on the dinning table. Serena was putting the letters into envelops, and calling the person they were for out to Darien. Darien was sitting with a piece of paper in front of him checking of the names has they were called out.
"Tien, that was the last one," Serena said smiling
"Good then all we have to do is send them out, I hope everyone can make it," Darien said smiling back.
"Well they better not miss our wedding, I won't be too happy, and that includes Ami and Yamcha, just because they are in America gives them no reason to miss our wedding," Serena said.
For these two the five months had given them the time they need to have a somewhat normal relationship. Serena did work some at keeping up her training, but most of the time was to busy either with going to the community college she was attending, or out on dates with Darien. Darien spend a good amount of time at Tien's Dojo, and managed to learn a lot about Ki, and was able to do all of the basic stuff. Then again he also got a job for the dojo working on the records, and booking keeping.
5 days later
Raye had woken up early to go check the mail and to get a early start on her day. For her the last five months had been the normal pretty normal. She would wake up early and woke on stuff for her soon to be upcoming test for priesthood. Then she would spend the rest of the day training on all the stuff she had learned. Overall her life had become pretty simple, and that fact did not bother her that much.
When Raye saw a letter from Serena, she opened it right away, and was a bit surprised to read that she was going to marry Darien. She knew that she would not miss that for the world, and went back to the temple with a large smile on her face.
On the other side of town, Tien was up early training as normal, and he decide to go check the mail. When he found the letter welcoming everyone at the dojo to Serena and Darien's wedding. He was a bit surprised, because Darien never told him anything while he was there. Tien walked back inside to see Lita practicing her punching, with Gohan.
Gohan had been a large help since Yamcha left to go over to America, but he still seemed a bit odd, even for a member of the Son family. He was a great fighter, and worked hard, but he sometimes seemed like he was trying to hide something about himself.
"Hey, Tien, um what do you go there," Lita said, "More junk mail?"
"Um no, it seems that we have all been invited to go to Serena, and Darien's wedding," Tien said.
"What really, they are getting married, wow that is so cool, " Lita said smiling, "I can't wait until we get married Tien."
Tien sighed to himself; he had almost forgotten he promised to marry in her in six months. He smiled and replied, "Yeah, me too, we may be able to get some ideas from this wedding right dear?"
"Um yeah, good thinking, I am sure we can," Lita said smiling.
Tien then noticed the smell of some really good food coming from the kitchen they had put in. Tien also sensed who it was and knew it was ok. It was just Mina cooking something for Gohan. The girl had seemingly spent all here extra time around Gohan trying to get his attention but nothing seemed to work on the boy, except cooking. She also spend time trying to train with Gohan, but Gohan most of the time pretended not to notice her at all, and just continued about his work. She had gotten a lot stronger though from this though. Gohan on the other had grown stronger as well, but had not grown nearly as much in power as Mina.
Lita, and Tien trained a lot, and both were a lot stronger then when they started, Tien knew that he was now a good bit stronger then Gohan, and Lita was getting to be close to the same power as the boy. Other then that the two had made a lot of money from there dojo, and were considered one of the best dojo's in the town. All the work though left the two little times for each other though.
Gohan had a smile on his face when he heard the news, he went back to his secret communicator and sent a report to Garlic Jr, telling of the events and how it would be the perfect chance to attack, because of the humans would be off guard. He had come to learn a lot of his past, and had felt a strange attachment growing to the stupid girl that was following him around, He was glad that the date of the attack was coming up soon, because he did not think he could stand Mina any more, and still continue with his plans.
7 days later
Ami walked out down to check the mail, for her the last 5 months has been some of the best in her life. She had loved every little part of going to a fancy college. She got to hear radical ideas, and talked to people that were as smart as she was. She did not train all that much, because she was always busy with either school work or doing her job as Baseball team manager, or spending time with Yamcha. She was surprised that she got a letter from Serena, cause she had not sent them many in the past. When she opened it she was even more surprised, but since they were going to have break, she knew that she could go home, and she knew that it was going to be fun to be home for a change. She went right back up to her apartment to tell the news to Yamcha.
Yamcha was sitting reading over his homework, He had gotten a scholarship to play baseball, at the same school that Ami had gone to, and even though about every major league wanted to sign him, he refused, and stayed in college. The studying was pretty hard, but Ami helped him out a lot. He did not have to spend much time out of pratice working on baseball, so he either spent that time with Ami, or training. He had to admit that he did not get that much stronger, but he just hoped that if the army came he could help some.
Ami then walked in thought the door, and said, "Guess what, um we have been invited to something?"
"Um you know that happens a lot, is it some thing for baseball?" Yamcha asked.
"No Serena and Darien are getting married and we are invited, we have to go, I would not miss it for the world," Ami said.
Yamcha shock his head and looked at the girl and said, "Well in that case I guess I am going too, it will be nice to see Tien again."
