Chapter 2

Bulma was still grinning about her daughter's good news as she made her way to her and her husband's bedroom. She had been surprised at how well her husband was able to keep his cool. But she was proud as well. The blue haired genius was still in la-la-land when Vegeta interrupted her thoughts with thoughts of his own.

"Why did she have to say yes?" The Saiyan Prince finally blurted from out of nowhere.

"She didn't have to, Vegeta," Bulma said with a frown. Already her happy thoughts were fading. "She chose to say yes. Just like I chose to say yes when you proposed." She giggled at the thought of how awkward it had been for the Saiyan Prince.

"That was different!" Vegeta protested angrily, careful not to raise his voice. He didn't want his daughter to know how he really felt about her choice for a future husband.

"How was that different?" Bulma questioned as she placed her hands on her hips.

"You weren't Kakarot's nephew!" He exclaimed but then lowered his voice quickly.

"I'm not a boy to begin with," she stated calmly, already knowing she would win in the end. "Raven's a nice, young man. You like him...on occasion."

"Only when he's not proposing to my daughter," the Prince crossed his arms as he realized he was in a losing battle.

The woman smiled gently and lowered her hands from her hips. "Remember when he asked Steph to be his girlfriend? You were just like this, but you got used to it."

"I was only used to it because I never thought they'd get married," he replied, still fuming on the inside.

"You obviously didn't notice how serious they were," Bulma said with a grin. She had known they were getting serious way before the proposal was ever mentioned. "Lets not talk about this anymore tonight, ok? We can talk in the morning when Stephanie's out."

The Prince mumbled a quick reply, but still wasn't happy. Bulma smiled and clicked off the lights.

-------

The early morning light streamed in through the window over Stephanie's bed. Birds chirped outside and a couple of squirrels were fighting over a piece of food below her window. This is what happened almost every morning and usually the half-Saiyan girl would pause to look out at it, but this morning she was busy writing something in a notebook. It was a list of things she and Raven would need for their wedding. The girl glanced out the window and put the pencil's eraser to her bottom lip as she thought. A white bird flew by and she quickly scribbled something else onto the paper.

She didn't know how long she had been at this, but it seemed like hours because she was up earlier than she normally was. She was the only one up at this hour. Or so she thought. Just down the hall, her brother and his friend were still up from their all night video game playing. That was too bad for them because once Bulma was up, there would be no sleeping.

Stephanie set the pencil and paper aside and stretched lazily. In mid-stretch she realized she wouldn't be able to be very lazy in these next few months. But Vegeta had never liked his two older children to be lazy, so he constantly had them doing something, even when they were exhausted. Then Bulma would have to step in and take charge. It was probably a good thing he had prevented any laziness. It meant the girl was used to it by now.

The half-Saiyan girl smiled at the thought. One day she would have children of her own, if Raven wanted some too. That would be another thing to consider. She quickly picked up the pencil and paper and scribbled that down.

A thump outside her door caused her to look up. She set the pencil and paper aside once more and walked over to the door. She heard footsteps and wondered if her mom was up. The girl opened the door to see Trunks and Goten sneaking down the hall. The two boys stopped in mid-step and smiled innocently at her.

"Where are you two going?" The girl asked as she stepped out into the hall.

"We're in trouble-" Goten blurted, but his friend interrupted him.

"We stayed up all night trying to beat that stupid video game Goten brought over here," Trunks explained. "We haven't slept at all."

"And we were gonna go to my house so we can get some sleep," Goten concluded proudly.

"I don't think you guys are gonna be gettin' much sleep over there either," Stephanie said with a look of pity. "At least not while Chichi's there."

"Ah!" Goten cried. "My Mom's gonna be all crazy about the wedding too!"

Trunks slapped the back of his friend's head. "I told you not to bring that video game!"

"You told me to bring it!" The younger boy argued, grouchy from lack of sleep.

"Guys, I'll try to get Mom to let you sleep today," the girl said calmly. "It's my wedding and you two probably can't do too much today. Besides, if you don't get some sleep, you'll be buggin' everybody."

The two smiled at the kindness of the girl and began to tiptoe back to Trunks' room. They didn't question anything. They were way too tired.

-------

"You've got a good point," Bulma said as she sipped her mid-morning coffee. "They will be messing everything up in that condition."

Stephanie smiled at the thought of how happy the two half-Saiyan boys would be. Right now, though, they had already been asleep for at least a couple hours.

"They'll appreciate it," the girl said as her mom took another sip of coffee.

Bulma nodded as she swallowed the hot beverage. "So what've you got there?"

The girl opened her notebook and slid it across the table so her mom could see it. The genius looked it over as she continued to drink her coffee. The half-Saiyan girl had never understood how Bulma could drink that stuff. It had tasted nasty when the girl had tried it for her first and last time.

"Good," Bulma finally said after handing the notebook back to her daughter. "You've pretty much listed everything you'll need."

"Lets just hope Raven's got his stuff down too," Stephanie smiled.

"With Chichi there, there's no way he couldn't," Bulma laughed.

-------

"Raven!" Chichi shouted outside his door. When there was no response, she pulled out a frying pan and banged on the door. "Raven, get up!"

She could hear a mumble from in his room, but that was not good enough for the stubborn, black haired woman.

"Raven, if you don't get up and open this door so I know you're up, you won't get any breakfast," Chichi threatened. She had used this threat many times on her husband and her two sons. And since it targeted their weak point it always worked. "Five...Four..."

She could hear rustling and then footsteps. Finally the door opened and there stood Raven with his dark brown hair more spiky than normal.

"Aunt Chichi, can't I get some more sleep?" He asked as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes like a child. "I got to sleep late last night..."

"Nope," the woman replied without hesitation. "Stephanie might be used to getting up early and she'll want you up with her."

"What would she need me for at six in the morning?" Raven asked as he slumped against the doorframe. "Nobody needs me at six in the morning."

"Well, she might need you for..." This actually stumped the woman and she couldn't come up with a suitable answer. Finally, she gave up trying and said, "I don't know what she might need you for, but she might need you, so get up!"

She gave the door one more bang with her frying pan which caused the Saiyan to jump. The woman walked off down the hall humming the wedding song.

Raven sighed and flopped down on his bed once more.

"Don't you lay back down!" Came the woman's piercing shout from the kitchen. "I've got your breakfast!"

"How does she know these things?" Raven muttered as he slid off the bed and landed on a pile of clothes.

-------

Trunks and Goten were dead to the world at eight in the morning. They hadn't heard Stephanie and Bra leave to pick up a few things from the grocery store, but they did wake up when they heard a voice in the hall.

"Can't you be happy with her decision?" It was Bulma obviously trying to keep her voice down so she wouldn't wake the boys.

"We're her parents. Can't we forbid her from marrying him?" Vegeta asked loudly, not knowing the two boys were down the hall.

"And stop her from being happy?" Bulma questioned angrily, her voice rising.

Vegeta said something else, but Trunks shook his friend who lay on the floor beside his bed.

"What, Trunks?" The younger of the two asked drowsily.

"Listen," was all his friend would say.

Goten sat up and looked his friend in the eye, then he heard it.

"Why can't she be happy even with a puny earthman?" Vegeta asked with frustration obvious in his voice. He wasn't about to lose this fight. "What about that guy down the street?"

"You mean the one she scared while fighting Trunks?" Bulma asked. "Face it, Vegeta, no earthman is going to want to marry her because-"

"They're to good for her?" Vegeta interrupted.

"No, they won't marry her because of her being part Saiyan," Bulma explained. "She too much for them to handle. They want to think that they're stronger than their wives are. Just think of it this way: By her marrying Raven, she'll be continuing the Saiyan race."

"Kakarot's first child married a puny earth girl and is increasing the human race," the two boys could tell the Saiyan Prince was smirking. "Stephanie will marry a Saiyan and increase the Saiyan race."

"Yeah," Bulma agreed.

"Even though the Saiyan is of a lower class," Vegeta frowned as he thought of this.

"But just think of it as you'll have something over Goku," Bulma knew he would love this.

For a long while, nothing was said. The boys almost thought the two had gone to another room, but finally the Saiyan Prince spoke, "If that boy even lays a hand on my daughter to hurt her, he'll find himself with one less body."

The two almost burst out laughing, but kept it to snickering so Vegeta wouldn't know they were listening.

"That's right," Bulma said slowly. "You just think of it like that..."

The two boys continued snickering, but quickly stopped when they heard footsteps outside their door. They lay back down and pretended to be asleep. It was a good thing they did too, because Bulma opened the door slightly to see if they were still sleeping. Satisfied that they were, she closed the door and continued down the hall.

"I didn't know your Dad didn't want Steph to marry Raven," Goten whispered without getting up.

"Yeah, I kind'a figured from his reaction last night," Trunks said as sleep slowly crept back to the two of them. "I'm surprised he didn't say anything then."

"Me too," Goten yawned. "It was kind of funny what he said about Raven having one less body, though."

Trunks snickered. "Funny for us, but not for Raven. It's not like he would hurt Steph in the first place."

"Yeah..." Goten yawned once more. "I'm goin' back to sleep...G'night, Trunks..."

"Night..." the older boy whispered as the two fell back to sleep.

-------

"Raven, today Goku's going to help you find a church for you to get married at," Chichi explained as the Saiyan gulped down his breakfast.

"I am?" Goku looked up at his wife.

"He is?" Raven asked in mid bite.

"Yes, but don't you worry!" Chichi said with a gleam in her eyes. "Gohan's going to help you!"

"Oh good..." Raven said thankfully. He knew his uncle had good intentions, but he needed somebody there that had more experience. Someone who could answer his questions.

"Oh good?" Goku questioned teasingly.

Raven shoved his uncle jokingly as Chichi continued.

"I know of this nice little church over in West City that might work," she said as she began to pace. "And there's another one closer to here if you'd prefer that. Or maybe you'd want it on a beach or something..."

"Shouldn't Stephanie help us with finding the church, er, place to get married?" Raven asked.

"She'll be helping," the woman explained. "Bulma called me earlier and told me Steph and Bra had to pick up a few groceries, but that they'd be on their way."

"Bra's helping too?" Goku asked as he took a drink of water.

"Bulma said Bra wanted to help her sister so badly that Bulma couldn't say no," she explained. "Anymore questions?"

Neither Saiyan said anything.

"Good! You'll be leaving as soon as you finish your breakfast."
