Bra stared at her reflection in the mirror. Today is her wedding so there should be a smile on her face instead of the gloomy expression she have on. Her dreams of having a loving husband and a family of her own would finally come true. She would be married to a handsome, kind and wealthy young man who would give her anything she wished for. But is this what she really wants? The truth is after her conversation with Goten the other night she doesn't know what she would like anymore. She couldn't help but wonder if she is doing the right thing. Suddenly the door open as Bulma walks in taking her out of her musing.
"My goodness! What do you think you are doing just sitting there looking at your self?" her mother asked in exasperation. "You should be getting ready; you have to be in church in one hour."
"Do I?" she answered unconcernedly still not moving from her position.
"Oh, I know what this is about," Bulma said with a grin, understanding her daughters' dilemma. "You are having wedding jitters, aren't you?" she inquired.
"No...Yes...I don't know!" she snaps anxiously flinging her arms as she stood up. She couldn't very well tell her mother that she's having second thoughts because of Goten. She finally stood up and paced as she asks Bulma all the questions that has been bothering her. "What if I made a mistake in my decision? What if Matt is not the right guy for me? What if I become miserable? What if..." She felt her mother's hands on her shoulder to stop her from her outburst.
"Don't worry honey, everything's going to be fine, you'll see " Bulma said soothingly as she embraced her daughter.
"I'm so confused" Bra said in a bleak voice as she steer her mother to bed so they could sit down. "Mom, how...when did you know that dad is the one for you?" she asked.
"Before we were married we would always come to blows. As you may have noticed your father isn't really the sweetest guy in the world. " She started. "Anyway, one day I got so mad at him that I told him to leave. But when he left that's when I realized that I could not live without him. I was so afraid that he would never return to me so I ask Goku to find him. When he came back he proposed to me." Bulma finish. (I'm guessing here)
"But how did you know?" Bra insisted, "How can you be so sure?"
"When someone walks into your life and he's the right person for you, you wouldn't be able to let him slip away. And you'll always know it here," Bulma stated pointing at her heart. "Oh, I can't believe my baby's getting married," she said after a few moments of silence hugging her daughter once again.
"I love you, mom" Bra said tearfully returning her mothers embrace.
"I love you too, honey" Bulma replied, but after a few seconds she stood up. "Now enough of this, your going to ruin your make up. Come on, I'm going to help you dress" she said pulling on her daughter arms.
An hour later, Bra is waiting at the back of the church with her family and two best friends. Pan is going to be her maid of honor and Maron would be her brides' maid. They tried to start a conversation with her, but stopped when they noticed that she wasn't paying attention. Her gaze roams aimlessly over the crowd all the way through the altar where Matt is waiting for her. The wedding procession has started and now it was her turn to walk down the aisle. Everyone stood up as they heard the tune of the traditional wedding song. Bra placed her hand on Vegita's arm and began to walk to the altar. However Bra is unaware of everything that's going on around her, because she is currently having a conversation with herself.
[What are you doing?!] Bra's panicked mind yelled at her as her father led her down to Matt, [You cannot marry this guy! You should run now!]
[I can't just leave him here!] She answered quietly, [Besides he loves me.]
[The question is do you love him?!] her mind asked heatedly.
[Yes!] Bra replies angrily, thinking that she's gone crazy given the fact that she's actually talking to herself.
[But not as much as you love Goten!!] her mind scolded. [And don't you dare argue with me cause you know I'm right. Run Quick! Before it's too late!]
[You're right, I can't do this] she agreed as her father put her hand on Matt's.
Bra started to pull her right hand from Matt while her free hand grasped her skirt; she was ready to dash out of there when the door crashed open. Everyone turn their heads to find out who caused the commotion. Goten is standing at the doorway wearing a determined expression on his face. He looks like he just got out of bed his hair was uncombed and his clothing in disarray. Then he started to walk unsteadily down the aisle. The crowd started murmuring but stopped when he reached the Altar.
"Goten..." Bra whispered in astonishment
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Matt asked furiously.
Goten grinned drunkenly at Bra then growled when he saw that Matt was holding her hand. He turned his icy glare at Matt then he took hold of Bra's other hand. But Matt wouldn't let go of her so Goten punched him directly in his jaw. The other man flew over the window due to Goten's sayian strength. (Don't worry Matt's not dead just badly hurt...I think) Everybody gasped in shock and disbelief but before anyone could interfere Goten turns his head toward the priest.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Marry us already." Goten said impatiently. (He's drunk that's why he is so rude to the priest...sorry)
"Of...of course..." stuttered the poor priest who became so frighten by what he just witness that he quickly complied. He didn't bother to prolong the sermon and just moved on to the important part.
"Do you...ah, young man take Bra, to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health till death do you part?" the priest ask nervously.
"I do" Goten answered confidently while looking at Bra who has a daze expression on.
"Do you Bra, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health till death do you part?" the priest asked turning to the young woman who appears to be unaware of the whole world. She didn't respond for a whole minute so he glanced at the young man to see his reaction. The scowl on Goten's face convinced the priest that he should ask again. "Miss, you really should answer...Miss? Miss?" said the priest who waved his hand back and forth to get her attention.
Bra's mind seemed to drift off after seeing Goten punch Matt. Everything seemed to happen in a strange, unfocused series after that, progressing either so quickly she missed them totally, or so slowly each instant seemed to take forever. A persistent voice in the background kept on interjecting in her scattered brain. It took her a while to realize that someone was actually trying to talk to her at a time like this.
"Yes, what do you want?!" she asked angrily at the priest who wouldn't stop pestering her.
"I now pronounce you man and wife," the priest declared hurriedly after hearing the word 'yes' from the girl. "You may kiss the bride" he said quickly, he was so distraught he left before the couple could kiss.
Bra's eyes widen in shock when she heard the priest's words. But before she could react Goten kissed her softly on the lips then swept her off her feet. She hadn't realized how drunk he was, she feared that they would tumble over because he is swaying so much but he steadied himself after a while. Still too stunned to move, she didn't complain when Goten carried her out of the church. She glance over the crowd to see her friends and family's reaction, everyone has a horrified expression on their face. But to her amazement she saw Vegita and Goku grinning like idiots. She finds it hard to believe that she just got married without her knowing it, what's more incredible is that she ended up marrying another man instead of her fiancé. But for the first time she realized there's nothing to worry about because she managed to marry the right man in the end. Now if only he wouldn't fall down before they can make their escape.
