Bonus Epilogue 1: Wedding Bells

"D-do I have to wear these?" Goku complained. His dark irises scanned over the various different colored suits placed in front of him. His friends Krillin, Yamcha, Puar, and Oolong had taken him to a clothing tailor to find a suitable outfit for his upcoming wedding with Makima. Knowing full well that their friend had no knowledge of the traditions of a wedding ceremony, the group took it upon themselves to lead him in the right direction. Makima had already given them the theme of the wedding. So all they had to do was convince the country-raised champion to put on a suit.

"Yes, Goku, you have to wear a suit." Krillin answered.

He looked very uncomfortable, far more than they've ever seen him be. "B-but it looks so stuffy! Can't I just go in my usual clothes?" He points at his dark reddish GI.

Yamcha shook his head. "No way, man! Weddings are a formal affair for everyone involved!" He pulled out his phone to show Goku pictures of weddings on the internet. "See this? You have to look your best to match your wife-to-be."

"Makima and I are already a match, right? I don't think this is necessary." Goku said, much to his friends' exhaustion.

Oolong groaned to Puar. "I still don't understand what he sees in her. She's a Devil!"

"Well, Goku has always been pretty weird. I guess it makes sense that he'd gravitate towards someone like her." Puar shrugged. Much like the rest of them, he wasn't Makima's biggest fan. The woman terrified him without even trying and Goku was the only person who could make her act like a giggly schoolgirl in love.

Oolong had to agree there. Goku, as much as he loved the guy, was a freak of nature in every sense of the word. Ever since meeting him when they were kids, the guy had monstrous abilities unlike any other. He even turned into a giant ape under a full moon, which had them all thinking he was some kind of Devil hybrid for a bit. But for Goku to marry someone like Makima was definitely a spell for disaster of some kind. "Can you imagine the kids? I think that would be pretty terrifying."

"You're being rude, Oolong."

"I'm allowed to have an opinion!"

Krillin handed a white suit to Goku, then pushed his best friend towards the dressing room. "Just get changed, buddy. We'll be here to help you out."

"...Fine…" Goku sighed. Thankfully, the Saiyan seemed to have learned some common sense and closed the curtains before he started undressing. It only took a few more minutes before the curtains were pulled open. Goku stood there with an unbuttoned shirt showing off his impressive muscles and pants down to his ankles. "Uhh…how do I put on a suit?"

There were several face-palms. Krillin sighed and stepped into the dressing room. "I'll help you out."

"Thanks, Krillin!"

"Yeah, yeah. This is really making me curse your luck at being able to get married. I'll likely never get as lucky to find a beautiful woman, Devil or not." Krillin said as he closed the curtains.

Goku tilted his head. "You can marry one of Makima's sisters!"

That was an instant rejection from Krillin.

Makima's hands gently rubbed the soft fur of her newest puppy. The fluffy little guy happily nestled against her side as she looked over the wedding arrangements. More than anything she wanted this to be absolutely perfect. She already picked out and reserved the venue, a nice historic cathedral that would be able to hold all of their guests. There was a part of her that found the idea of a Devil getting married in the home of Christ hilarious.

Looking at the guest list, Makima noted the names of her darling's friends. Unfortunately, he had no living family that could come to the ceremony. There was the suggestion of asking Baba if it would be okay to bring his grandfather's soul, but the deceased martial artist had already used his one free day for her little tournament a couple of years back. Her darling accepted the news pretty well and felt that it would be fine if his friends were there to support him.

On her end there was very little as well. A few associates that she deemed trustworthy enough would attend the ceremony and reception. Makima refused to invite her sisters until her darling pushed her to at least try and get closer to them. So, she extended invites to Fami and War to come to the wedding.

She didn't even bother with her older sister. Not that the Death Devil could fully crossover into the world of the living anyway.

Food was also the next big important factor she had to cover. Thankfully, Bulma was more than willing to cover the funds for the reception and have it held at Capsule Corp. She was the first one to begrudgingly accept her relationship with her darling, so Makima was appreciative in that regard. Not that she wouldn't have figured out an alternative, but it was nice to have someone as rich as the Briefs connected to your circle.

The honeymoon trip had been planned out even prior to the 23rd World Tournament. As sudden and unexpected his confession had been, she was already planning to speed up their relationship into the "lovers" phase by that point. After the reception was finished, she and her darling would be spending a nice two weeks at the most private and lovely resort in Hawaii. She needed to check back with the resort to ensure that they wouldn't run out of food in the first two days of their trip.

Makima had also already purchased her wedding dress, a beautiful white flowing dress that captured her figure perfectly. After having confirmed her darling's attraction to her physical appearance (Especially to ensure he wasn't asexual), Makima made sure that his eyes wouldn't leave her for a second as they stood at the altar.

A soft moan escaped her lips as she imagined the ceremony. She and her darling face-to-face, declaring their vows (She was already expecting him to not have one. It didn't matter to her, since Goku was a man who spoke in the moment anyway) and sealing their marriage with a sweet kiss. It was perfect.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"What does she want?" Makima sensed Bulma's presence from behind the door. It irritated her to be pulled from her daydreaming, but decided it was best to answer anyway. The Control Devil gently moved her puppy and walked towards the door of her apartment. Behind the door was Bulma, who looked a bit nervous to be meeting her alone. Not that Makima could blame the woman's apprehension. "Bulma? What do I owe the pleasure?"

"H-hey, Makima. Can we talk?" Bulma requested.

After buying the wedding suit, which cost Yamcha a ton of money, Goku and friends were heading over to Roshi's inside of the bandit's jet. The world's savior stared at the window, thoughts swirling through his head as he held the sealed suit in his arms. "Hey, guys?"

"What's wrong, Goku? Are you hungry?" Puar asked.

"Yeah."

"Stupid question." Oolong scoffed.

"But that wasn't what I was going to ask." Goku definitely had their attention now. If his question wasn't about food, then something was probably bothering him. Goku took another moment to get his thoughts together. "So, uh, are weddings really important?"

"Weird question to ask when you're about to get married." Oolong said.

"Really? People don't ask about this stuff?" Goku asked.

"Well, I think people usually do. I've never been married, so I can't really give you a perfect answer here." Yamcha looked back to see his 'little brother'. "Weddings are meant to be a ceremony which celebrates the love between people. You and Makima are showing everyone that you really love each other, and that you want to spend the rest of your lives together."

"But, do we have to do all of this stuff?" Goku raised the suit. "Wearing a suit, arranging all of this special stuff, and inviting people? It feels like…too much." There was uncertainty in his voice. It surprised his friends to see Goku look uncertain about his own future.

"Weird for you to not be confident about something." Krillin said.

Goku was confused. Did he sound that way to them? Well, he guessed that he was uncertain about this marriage stuff. He wasn't used to all of the fancy words, expenses, or celebrations that Makima was excited to do. Goku knew he loved her and wanted to keep being around her, but did they have to make such a big deal out of it? "Do I really?"

"Yeah! I mean, you were treating Piccolo as if he was a regular challenge you'd come across instead of the demon lord that planned to take over the world!" Oolong explained.

"Oh! Well, that was a fight! When it comes to fighting, I know what to expect! It gets my blood pumping to fight someone who can push me to my limits and further! I can't wait to fight Piccolo again!" Goku declared with his usual attitude they were familiar with.

"Then just think of marriage as the same thing!" Yamcha exclaimed. Goku tilted his head in confusion. "What I mean, is that you'll be going on a whole new adventure with Makima soon. Both of you won't know what to expect after you've solidified your marriage, it'll be a challenge to navigate. So just do what you always do and give it everything you've got!"

"Give it everything I've got, huh?" Goku felt like he was understanding what Yamcha was telling him. "Okay, I think I'm getting it."

"Good. I was scared for a moment that you were going to back out of it." Oolong exhaled a breath. "It would've been terrifying explaining to Makima that you didn't want to get married."

"Why would I back out of it? I love Makima, and I want to be with her! If this marriage thing means that we'll be together, then I'll do it!" Goku exclaimed.

"At least there's no doubt that he loves her…" Krillin chuckled humorlessly.

"Are you…serious about this?" Bulma clutched the cup of tea tighter. She sat across from Makima, who looked as calm and collected as always.

"Serious about what, Bulma?"

"Marrying Goku!"

"...Is there a problem with us getting married?" Makima's challenge brought a slight chill through the apartment.

"N-not really! I can tell that you care a lot about him! It's just that…" Bulma furrowed her brows. Her eyes scanned the rippling liquid in her hands, examining her own reflection. She hated feeling like she was lesser than others, especially since she was Bulma fuckin Briefs! But Makima was the Control Devil, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the woman who would be marrying her 'little brother'. Her status meant jack shit to this woman and they both knew it. Bulma took a deep breath to relax her nerves. "...It's just that Goku doesn't really have a lot."

"Meaning?"

"Sure, he has a lot of friends and has accomplished a lot in his life since I met him all those years ago. The little boy who didn't even know the difference between men and women has now saved the world twice, and he's going to be getting married soon! If you had asked me when I first met him that Goku would grow to be such an extraordinary person I wouldn't have believed you. He was abnormally strong for a kid his age but he was also about as smart as a coffee table. And that's an insult to the coffee table."

Makima would not deny that. She's broken enough walls due to her darling's insanely infuriating levels of ignorance/stupidity. That anger towards it did slowly transform into one of the things she loves about him.

"But Goku doesn't have any family. Nobody knows who his parents are, the jackasses that left him stranded in a forest, and his Grandfather has long passed away." Due to an event that was likely due to Goku's monster transformation but neither Makima nor Goku needed to know that. "He's the very definition of an orphan and while I'm certain Goku can take care of himself, I just wanted to make sure that he has someone who will watch out for him."

"Then this meeting was pointless." Makima sighed.

"W-what do you mean?!" Bulma flinched back.

"You never had any reason to worry, Bulma. From the moment I met him, I planned to keep my darling by my side forever." Makima responded confidently.

"Then you really don't get it."

Makima raised an eyebrow at the richest woman in the world. She was surprised to hear such a claim from Bulma, but the woman possessed a personality that had a slight possibility of resisting her. "Explain."

"I get it. There's no doubt in my mind that you love Goku." Bulma no longer looked nervous or weary. She held the air that a woman of her status deserved as she faced off against the Control Devil. "But he's like a brother to me. I love him so much and there will never be a moment where I won't worry about him. He loves throwing himself into dangerous adventures without a care of his own safety. He's fought adversaries that would've brought the world to its knees, looked at Devils as if they weren't anything to ever be scared of, and even managed to make the Control Devil fall in love with him."

An accomplishment that Makima will treasure forever.

"I just want to make sure that you really understand what you're getting yourself into. Goku isn't like any other man out there. Don't expect to have a normal life with him, because Goku is the exact opposite of normal."

She understood Bulma's worries and acknowledged the sentiment about wanting to ensure that Goku truly had someone he can depend on in his life. He was someone who was used to doing things on his own, so she would make sure to be there to help him when he needed it. "Bulma. Only an idiot would expect to live a 'normal' life with him. I'm not a normal woman, we both know this. I work a job where I'm going out of my way to exterminate or capture Devils regardless of how dangerous. But all we can do is try to live our lives the best we can, regardless of what happens. As long as we're together, then we'll be just fine."

Bulma managed to keep eye contact with Makima for at least a few more seconds before looking away. "...Fine. I give my blessings. Just…make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."

"We both know that's impossible."

"I know."

Time for Goku passed sooner than expected and he found himself being led into the cathedral where his wedding would be taking place. Last night he and the rest of the guys had a celebration over the last day of him being a 'free' man. He didn't really understand it but he had a lot of fun with the gang, so it was all well in the end. The suit still felt tight on him, but he was told that he could loosen it up once the ceremony was done. Earlier he had asked if he could go see Makima since the two of them hadn't interacted much the previous week, but his friends told him it was bad luck for the groom to see his bride before the ceremony.

Goku stood at the altar, feeling a bit awkward as everyone's eyes stared at him. He could see his friends, dressed in suits and dresses, on the right end of the cathedral. Blue Launch was snapping as many photos as she could, ignorant to Roshi's perverted staring at her showing cleavage. Bulma thankfully threw the old man over to Krillin, so he was far away enough from the women present. Yamcha sat next to her, a hand wrapped around her waist to pull her in close.

Oolong was next to Krillin, still feeling uncertain about everything, but congratulated him on the wedding. Puar looked like he was going to cry just from the reality of the situation alone.

Krillin still felt a bit jealous of his best friend for managing to get married before he did. But he knew Goku deserved to find love. The guy had saved the world twice already and brought him back to life. No matter what happens, he'll always support Goku.

Tien and Chiaotzu joined the ceremony too. While they weren't as close to Goku as the rest, they still owed him a lot. Tien respected Goku as a martial artist and as a person. Though he didn't think much of romantic love himself, the three-eyed warrior understood the connection between Goku and Makima. She was a Devil, a dangerous one at that, but her love for the world's savior was undeniable. Chiaotzu felt the same as his partner and was more than happy to be here to congratulate Goku.

Eighter, Suno, and Suno's mother were able to attend the wedding as well. The red-haired girl and android were surprised to hear that Goku was getting married. Suno even seemed a bit miffed at the revelation but accepted that she simply missed her own chance. Eighter was proud of his friend for finding someone to spend his life with, believing that Goku deserved a happy ending for everything he's done.

After giving Bulma a short glare for the rude toss, Roshi looked at his best pupil. Though he couldn't be here himself, Roshi knew that Gohan would be proud of his grandson. Goku managed to accomplish so much and became the strongest in the world. The Turtle Hermit couldn't be prouder that Goku managed to score such a hot wife, regardless of her being a Devil.

Yamcha was happy for his 'little brother'. Makima scared the shit out of him, but Goku always treated her like she wasn't a big deal. Just another friend much like the rest of them. The fact that they're actually getting married is still a shock to him. His eyes turned to Bulma, wondering if he should bring up the topic of marriage to her. It would be nice, but he didn't know if someone like him truly deserved to marry a woman of her status.

Upa and Bora had joined the ceremony as well. The tribal father-son duo weren't used to the style of dress much like he was, but they were more than willing to put up with it for the wedding. After saving them from Mercenary Tao, climbing Korin's Tower, and reviving Bora with the Dragon Balls there was nothing the two wouldn't put up with for Goku. They owed him everything and wished him luck on his future adventures.

Kami and Mr. Popo even attended (Much to Makima's displeasure but she had to swallow that one). The two were dressed as they always did, but there were bow ties around their necks to at least look like they belong in the setting.

Fami sat on the left half with Makima's guests. Even though they weren't allowed to eat or drink until the reception started, the Famine Devil was munching down on some blueberry muffins. It made Goku jealous that he wasn't allowed to eat anything since breakfast to avoid messing up his suit. War sat next to her sister, surprisingly wearing a nice black and white dress, with her usual glare. She looked like she didn't want to be there but knew better than to turn down Makima's invitation if it's ever extended to her.

There were several others from her workplace that were invited to attend. Goku didn't think Makima was particularly close to them but had likely done it to mostly fill out the seats. Still, it was nice to see people could make it.

The bells chimed once more as the doors to the cathedral opened wide. Voices settled as an all too familiar head of red hair made itself known. Goku felt his eyes widen as he took in the sight of his wife-to-be. She was dressed in a stunning white flowing dress that nicely captured every part of her body. The pristine dress was almost blindingly bright, giving the Devil an elegant glow. A bouquet of roses was held in her hands close to her chest.

As she walked towards the altar, nobody could take their eyes off of her. Whether they hated her, were indifferent to her, afraid of her, or loved her, Makima absolutely captured their hearts in this moment. Her steps echoed lightly through the hall like a soft heartbeat. Once she made it to the altar, Goku was able to get a good look at her face.

She looked happy, unbelievable so, as their eyes met under the mesmerizing light. Goku found her smile pretty to look at, and he really wanted to keep looking at it.

The official smiled at the two about-to-be-weds, then looked up at everyone else. "I am certain that everyone here is pleased to be here at the joining of Son Goku and Makima. The bride and groom are certainly appreciative of everyone who could make it. With that said I believe our two would like to share some words with each other."

"Uhhh…aren't these usually supposed to go on longer?" Yamcha speaks up.

"Usually, yes, but I was told to speed things along due to the groom's appetite."

"So, we can't object to this wedding?" War asked.

Fami gave her a look. "Do you really want to object to Makima's wedding?"

War looked at her gluttonous sister, then shifted her eyes back at Makima. Though the Control Devil was smiling, it was clearly a warning to her to shut her mouth before it gets closed permanently. War just did as she was told and leaned back against her seat.

Coughing into his hands, the Official continued. "Are there any vows that would like to be exchanged?"

Makima hummed slightly. "Darling? Do you have any vows to say?"

"What's a vow?"

Smacking could be heard in the background. "Did you idiots not explain what vows are to him?!" Bulma whispered loudly.

"I-it slipped our minds?" Yamcha nervously laughed. The rest of the guys were also looking just as nervous. Everyone else looked either bewildered at Goku's response or exasperated at having expected this kind of behavior.

"Y-you don't have your vows?!" The Official cried.

Goku looked confused. "Not really. Is that important?"

The Official was about to scold the buffoon until Makima raised a hand. She didn't look bothered at all by her groom's response. "That's fine, darling. All I need to know is will you stay by my side?"

"Of course!"

"Will you stick with me through sickness and health?"

"Yeah!"

"And will you continue to love me no matter what trials appear in our way?"

"Always. I love you, so I'll do it." Goku promised. He then felt something sliding against the ring finger on his left hand. He looked down to see Makima had slipped on his wedding ring.

"Perfect. I'll be doing the same. We'll always be together, darling." Makima handed her ring to him. He managed to figure out what she wanted him to do, and slipped her ring onto her right ring finger.

"Yeah. Together." Goku smiled.

Smiling at the love in the air, the Official closed his bible. "And with that, you may now kiss the bride."

Cheers and claps echoed through the hall as Goku and Makima sealed their marriage with a kiss. Makima moaned softly as she pressed against her husband's tender touch. Goku's stomach was dancing as he tasted her strawberry flavored lips. They broke the kiss with pleased smiles, too focused on each other to hear everyone's shouting.

"We're stuck together forever, my darling husband~!" Makima giggled.

"Huh? Heh, I guess so, wife Makima!" Goku smiled.

"And thus, they lived happily ever after." Makima finished as she closed the picture book. She looked over at the twins, who were listening to the heartwarming bedtime story.

"...That's it?" Nayuta asked.

"Pardon?" Makima raised a brow.

"So, you guys just…got married?"

"That's how it works, yes."

"Piccolo didn't show up to try and ruin it?"

"No."

"There wasn't a stray Devil attack to get in the way? Making you late for the wedding and making Papa think you stood him up?"

"No."

"Auntie Yoru didn't try to sabotage the wedding to humiliate you or Papa?"

"I would've erased her from existence if she tried."

"Papa didn't forget that he was getting married, arriving late, and making you think he stood you up?"

"Why do you want needless drama in the story?" The Control Devil questioned her daughter.

"Because it's boring! Borrrriiiiinnnngggg!" Nayuta complained.

Ignoring her daughter for the moment, Makima turned to her youngest son. "Goten? What did you think of the story?"

The Goku look alike smiled brightly at his mother. "I liked it! It was a fun bedtime story!"

Makima smiled appreciatively at her baby boy.

"But I wish it had dinosaurs that could shoot lasers from their eyes."

Okay, so the twins were too young to properly understand a heartwarming story without filler. She had told this story to Gohan years ago and he had no complaints. Next bedtime story was going to need something bigger to properly get them to learn something. "In any case, time for bed. You two have school in the morning."

Makima ignored their complaints as she shut off the lights and left their door cracked slightly open. The twins complained that they should get another week of no school after the entire Majin Buu fiasco, but the two (Including Gohan) missed enough school as is. This week had at least given the twins more than enough time to build proper bonds with their father, which was adorable to watch.

Makima passed by Gohan's room. She could hear him talking with his friends using that facetime app. She gave him leeway of when to head to bed due to being older but she still wanted to ensure he was well rested for school. Makima lightly knocked on the door. "Gohan. Get to bed."

"Okay, Mom!"

It was very likely he was going to stay up another hour to keep chatting (She was considering limiting his phone usage if he didn't go to sleep in the next hour). Shaking her head slightly, Makima made her way to her shared bedroom with her husband. Makima smiled softly as she looked at her handsome darling. He was dressed in a tank top and boxers, his eyes glued to the TV in their room. Apparently, he really wanted to figure out the mystery going on in the crime drama she usually watches.

It wasn't anything complicated for her but for him it was as difficult as fighting Majin Buu.

"Darling, the children are asleep. Mostly."

"Hm? Cool." Goku smiled. "They'll be going back to school tomorrow, right?"

"Yes." Makima answered as she slipped into bed with him. "They've had more than enough time to recover from the whole thing with Majin Buu. The rest of the world seems to be getting back to normal as well."

"That's good. If the kids are gonna be at school and you're at work, then I guess I better get back into my training." Goku decided on his plan for the future. "If I could've handled Super Saiyan 3 better, then Buu could've been beaten far easier, I think. Regardless, I gotta keep getting stronger." He leaned back on the pillow with a smile. "Who knows how many strong guys are still out there? I gotta make sure I'm strong enough to take them on."

Makima turned off the light, leaving the TV to illuminate the room for them. "And for Buu's reincarnation as well, right?"

"Yeah, but we still have some time before he'll be born. Thinking about fighting him again just makes me excited." Goku said.

Makima rested her hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. "Darling?"

"Yeah?"

"Keep getting stronger, okay? That's one of the many things I love about you." Makima smiled.

Goku chuckled and rested his hand on hers. Their wedding rings reflected the love shared between them. "Don't worry! I don't plan on stopping!"

Makima leaned into her husband, placing her lips on top of his. She used her powers to shut and lock their door. The TV would thankfully drown out any potential noise their kids may hear as they engaged one another in a passionate moment of love.

Chapter End

NOTE: This is the first epilogue for the story. You get to see Goku's friends helping him figure out why a wedding itself means something, and Makima reaffirming her love for him to get Bulma's blessing.

I considered adding some action but decided to just let the wedding play out. They deserved that happy moment with no interruptions.

Next Epilogue - Motherhood
