~ We are gathered here today to bond these two in holy matrimony. –looks at Gohan-
Do you, Son Gohan, take Mimi Shinhan to be your wife through health, sickness,
Through the good, the bad, to love and cherish forever for as long as you both shall live ?~
Gohan: *smiles* I do
~ And do you, Mimi Shinhan, take Son Gohan to be your husband through health, sickness,
Through the good, the bad, to love for better, for worse for as long as you both shall live ?~
Mimi: I do *smiles*
~ Please exchange the rings and exchange vows. ~
Gohan: puts the ring on Mimi's finger- I, Son Gohan, promise to keep you safe, and promise to love you forever until the day I die. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever met in my life, and I'm blessed to be standing here in this chapel marrying you. I vow from this day on, to never cause you any harm, whether it physical or emotional, for eternity.
All: *softly* awww
Mimi: -puts the ring on Gohan's finger- I, Mimi Shinhan, promise to be the best wife I can be, and promise to never stop loving you. I love you more than a fat kid loves cake, and I won't ever stop until my heart stops beating. Even then, I won't stop loving you. The 1st day I saw you, I knew you were the one, and now you're a part of my life forever. I vow to always stay by your side, and never to hurt you or leave when things get bad.
All: *softly again* aww
~ If anybody in this room strongly believes these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace. ~ (Chichi went to say something, but Goku won't let her)
Chichi: Goku ! Let me go !
Goku: no Chichi, I will not let you ruin Gohan's wedding
~ Going once…twice….last call ? ~
Chichi: this is my chance ! Let me go right now !
Goku: NO !
~ I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride. ~
(Gohan kisses Mimi, and everybody's cheering except Chichi)
~ I'm happy to present to everybody Mr. and Mrs. Son. ~
All: congrats !
Chichi: *thinking* I can't stand her…taking Gohan from me, what nerve.*
S/V: congrats *smiles*
Mimi: thanks you guys
Sam: I'm so happy for you
Gohan: thank you Sam
Vegeta: *sighs and smiles a little* good job boy, now you're a real man
Goku: *gasps* Vegeta !?
Vegeta: what ?
Goku: *sarcastically* you're happy for other people, no way
Vegeta: *anger* shut up Kakkorot… I promised Sam I wouldn't fight you today
Sam: exactly so don't make him mad Goku
Goku: oooooooohhhhhhhhhkkkaayy… also, I'm proud of you Gohan
Gohan: *smiles* thanks dad
Chichi: *beyond angry* NO ! NO ! NO ! NO! Gohan, you weren't supposed to get married. I only approved of her so she can get you into Harvard University.
Gohan: what are you talking about mom ?
Chichi: I mean, if your father didn't stop me, you wouldn't have a wife. You're too good for her. She doesn't deserve you.
Goku: Chichi ! why would you say that ?
Mimi: -heard that and started to cry- Ms. Chichi, I thought you were such a nice woman. I didn't do anything to offend you.
Chichi: oh yes you did, you took Gohan away from me.
Mimi: so falling in love with him is taking him away ? you're insane –runs away crying-
All: *anger* Chichi !
Bulma: why did you do that ? especially on their wedding day…what's wrong with you ?
Chichi: I'm happy she's gone.
Vegeta: normally I would agree with making people miserable, but this has gone too far. Mimi's a good person and she means a lot to Sam. She didn't deserve that, baka.
Chichi: what does that even mean ?
Vegeta: *anger* you don't need to know.
Goten: bro, Trunks and I looked everywhere. We can't find her.
Gohan: What ?
Goku: this is the last straw… Chichi, I want a divorce.
Chichi: Good ! I don't need you.
Goku: Good ! I regret ever marrying you. All you do is yell at me because I don't work or drive.
Chichi: oh really ? then, I hope you have a place to live because you're not living with me anymore.
Goku: don't worry about me; I'll be ok without you.
Goten: mom, I'm going wherever dad's going.
Chichi: no you aren't, you're going to stay with me.
Goten: I don't want to; I want to stay with dad.
Chichi: -slaps Goten across his face- don't ever talk back to me ever again !
Goku: *really angry* don't slap him; he's allowed to make his own decisions.
Goten: -runs away in pain and in tears-
Trunks: *yells* GOTEN ! WAIT ! –goes after him-
-Gohan returns in tears- Gohan: dad, you have to help me find her. She's not at her house, not around the area, not anywhere.
Vegeta: her parents, Tien and Yamcha are looking for her, and I'll help find her as well.
Sam: I'm going to look with Vegeta.
Bulma: I'll help too.
Gohan: *sniffs* thank you… We have to find her.
Goku: right !
Chichi: I hope you never find her, I hope she's dead somewhere.
Gohan: *yells angrily in Chichi's face* DON'T EVER SAY THAT AGAIN MOTHER OR I SWEAR I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET GIVING BIRTH TO ME ! I WILL FIND HER !
Chichi: *speechless* -everybody leaves except Chichi-
Scene 2- The Hunt Continues
5 hours passed since Mimi ran off crying because of Chichi. Chichi is the only one not looking, obviously. It's now 10 pm. -
Gohan: you see her yet dad ?
Goku: no, sorry Gohan. We'll find her.
Gohan: we have to, I just got married. I'm so angry that mom did that to her.
Goku: I know, I'm divorcing her because I can't stand her anymore.
Gohan: good (crying is heard) that has to be her –flies to the source of the sound, its Mimi crying at the base of West City fountain.- thank goodness I found you ! I was so worried.
Mimi: *crying* Gohan ! *hugs him* why did your mom say those things ?
Gohan: idk, but the important thing is that you're safe.
Mimi: *sniffs*
Gohan: -wipes her tears- I found you & married you, and I'm prepared to spend the rest of my life with you. *kisses her forehead* Let's get you home.
Goku: um Mimi, is it ok if Goten and I stay at your house for a while ? I got kicked out after I told Chichi I'm divorcing her.
Mimi: sure I don't mind. There's plenty of room, and you'll have grandpa Tien to talk and train with. He lives with me and my parents too. Plus, you don't have to cook or clean.
Goku: thank you so much. I can't do either of those things anyway *laughs* I'm going to get Goten and bring our stuff to your house.
Mimi: great –hands him an address card- I'll just tell daddy's security that you and Goten are going to live with us *smiles*
Goku: thank you again
Mimi: no problem, father-in-law *giggles*
Goku: *laughs* -leaves-
Gohan: speaking of your house, we should get going…your parents are worried about you.
Mimi: right, and after they know I'm ok… Let's have some fun *winks and smiles*
Gohan: *smirks* ready ?
Mimi: always was *giggles*
-Gohan and Mimi leave-
Scene 3- New Beginnings, New Problems
[new character: Broly]
October 11, 2020. 9am. Mimi's house. -
Gohan: -wakes up holding Mimi, naked. - *softly* good morning beautiful *smiles and kisses her cheek*
Mimi: zzzzzz
Gohan: -lets go of Mimi and leaves to train- *thinking* I would have never imagined myself getting, but I'm married to the love of my life. It feels great. My mom ruins everything, but she couldn't ruin my chance at love. I wasn't going to let my mom ruin anything else for me. I couldn't let the most perfect woman slip away because of my mom. I knew she was the one as soon as she kissed me that night in the rain. I love her.*
(In Capsule Corp.)
-Gohan enters- Gohan: hi guys
All: hey

Goku: *laughs* we all know what you were doing last night…you don't have to say you were doing…
Goten: Mimi *laughs*
Gohan: *blushes*
Trunks: *face palm* Goten, don't act like you haven't done anything like that.
Goten: I know, but it's fun messing with Gohan
Sam: Aren't you guys a little young for experimenting that way ?
Trunks: not really, dad said it was ok –covers his mouth- sorry dad
Vegeta: *blushes* next time I'll tell your mother
Trunks: no no no no no no no
Vegeta: alright then, keep your mouth shut or I'll shut it for you.
Trunks: *nods in agreement*
Goku: ok, ok let's just get back to training.
Vegeta: *nods in agreement*
Goku: wait…Vegeta, are you agreeing with me again ?
Vegeta: *yells* HELL NO ! –continues training-
S/Gk: *laugh*
Sam: aw you do agree with him…
Vegeta: *ignores that*
-a really loud explosion and screams of terror are heard-
Trunks: dad, what was that ?
Vegeta: idk son
Goku: we should go check it out, innocent people are getting hurt.
All: right
Gohan: but 1st, I need to make sure Mimi's ok
Goku: go then – Gohan leaves-
(Sam is sitting on the floor holding her stomach)
Sam: *thinking* It can't be… I can't, no this has to be a mistake…maybe Mimi was right to tell me to be careful…I'm happy about this, but idk how Vegeta will react…I have to tell him though, no holding back.* Vegeta…I'm pregnant.
All: *gasps*
Vegeta: are you sure ?
Sam: yes, I sense Ki that isn't mine.
Goku: aw I love babies ! they look like little balls of chashu pork.
Vegeta: *face palm* idiot…
Goku: well, Sam…stay with Bulma for now while we go
Sam: ok
-the guys leave-
Broly: *yelling and blowing up buildings* KAKKOROT ! KAAAAAAKKKKKOOOOORRRROOOTTTT !
All: *anger* Broly !
Broly: KAKKOROTTTTTTT !
Goku: I'm right here, Broly. What do you want ?
Broly: KAKKOROT ! *attacks Goku and the others*
(2 hours later, Broly has severely injured Trunks, Goten and Vegeta, and is still fighting Goku.)
Trunks: Go…go…ten…are you ok ? I can't move.
Goten: hang on…I'm co…co…coming –slowly crawls to Trunks- I'm happy you're alive.
Trunks: me too…do you know where my dad is ?
Goten: no, I don't…sorry
(far away from them, is Vegeta lying unconscious)
Vegeta: *thinking* I'm going to be a father again…this is good, but I'm not sure how I still love Sam…I still do, but I love somebody else at the same time. I just this person loves me back.*
