Andrea's Big Day

By

Bulma

"Andrea, breath. Just calm down. You will be fine." Venux voiced reason in a soothing manner as her frantic; almost hysteric friend almost had a mental breakdown as she sat in a chair. Bulma sat next to her and Andrea rested her head upon Bulma's shoulder. "B, what if I mess up the vows? What if I faint? What if I-" "Don't think about the 'what if's'. Instead why not concentrate on the love of your life? Stop rushing around and just breathe." Bulma smiled at her friend as she placed her hand on her friend's shoulder. "B, I'm scared…" "You have no reason to be. Everything is fine." Bulma reassured. "B, if you were in my position, you would be the same way." Andrea told her with an annoyed scowl on her face.

Bulma let out a chuckled. "You know, you are probably right. But you also have to realize this isn't a big deal." "Says she who freaks over everything." snorted Venux. "V, do you want me to leave and have her freaking out on you?" "No." Venux mumbled. "You know B, Venux does have a point." Andrea giggled. "No respect I tell you!" Bulma sat up and threw her hands in the air to emphasize how insulted she felt.

"Oh get over yourself Mom." chuckled Trunks in the open doorway. "AH!" Andrea cried. "Don't tell me it's time all ready?" "'Fraid so Andrea. Don't worry so much, you will be fine. Oh and you look great as always V!" he winked at the raven haired Goddess. "Nuff flirting Romeo, It's Andrea's big day, not yours yet. So can we get going now or what?" Bulma asked. Both Venux and Trunks blushed a good shade of red and both looked away. Trunks cleared his throat and nodded yes. Andrea stood up and took a deep breath. "All right. It's show time girls!" She said and all 3 headed after Trunks.

-Later!-

The ceremony was not much different than an Earthling one. The only difference was that they bit each other's necks, creating a mark and suckling on each other's blood, rather than exchanging rings to symbolize loyal ness. The outfits were bit skimpier than normal, traditional dress and scenery is more set in Renaissance style of Gothic nature than the light modern atmosphere on Earth.

Regardless of differences in cultures, the ceremony was beautiful. Andrea was perfect, in the exchange of vows, she did not mess up once and did everything with pride, honor, and grace. She was absolutely amazing. Koji beamed with pride and admiration. Now at the reception, everyone ate, drank, be merry, and dancing. Lots and lots of dancing!

Everyone but the blue haired scientist, she watched as her Best Friends danced with the love of their lives. She rested her annoyed face on her hand as she tried to gaze at the wall. All those happy people and all that dancing, she couldn't help but feel left out. As the fast tempo came to a slow beat of orchestra playing "1000 Words" by Final Fantasy X-2 score. Couples pulled in close for this number.

Bulma felt a shadow overcame her. She looked up and saw the Prince. He had his hand outstretched for hers. "No way. Last time I danced with you I got kidnapped." she told him flat out. "I would hardly call that a dance. Come on, you look lonely and bored and sick to death of watching others dance. Besides, this will cheer you up Princess." Bulma rolled her eyes at this comment, but took his hand as he led her onto the dance floor.

He pulled her close and they slightly danced in silence. The song slowly ended but quickly changed to another score of the Final Fantasy series. "Aeries' Theme." from Final Fantasy VII. "Woman…" "I have a name." "Bulma…there is something that I've been meaning to talk to you about." "Oh?" "Bulma, what I have done to you is wrong I wanted to apologize. I'm trying to make things right between us, so I've done some thinking…" "And?" By now everyone was off the dance floor and intently listening in on the conversation of the Prince and Goddess of the Silver Moon.

"I've decided if you must go…then do so…but I want you to know my feelings…my true feelings. I'm a proud man. I rarely, if at all try not to show my emotions to anyone. I live my life on a strict, tight ship…and yet, when you came into my life, it appeared my world has turned upside down. I don't' know if it's love, if you can call it that, but you have captured me. You have driven me to the brink of insanity. You plague my every waking, dreaming, peaceful moments. Hell, I can't get a proper training session in without you on my mind. I don't know what it is about you. All you are is annoying, crying, whining, loud, yelling…" A dangerous look paused him in his tracks.

"The point is…I've come to be very fond of you. I would be honored if you would be my Mate. Right now…I'm giving you a choice. If you say no, I'll return you and your loved ones home if they or you so wish. But know I love you…and will never stop. Be my Mate Bulma. I want you to want this too, not too feel obligated to. Don't do it for you family, or for the Brat, or for benefit, do this for yourself." Vegeta spoke.

Their dancing had cease. The music stopped playing. All eyes, ears, and hearts stilled upon Bulma's answer. All anticipating what her decision will be. Bulma was more than moved by Vegeta's words. A lot of what he said explained some of the feelings she felt this whole time. Without a moments hesitation, and to the surprise of everyone around her, including herself, she kissed him; in front of a thousand or more people.

In the back, Trunks was routing and celebrating. Finally they were together! Finally a family. A real, loving, somewhat together family. He couldn't be any happier.

C'ya
