Chapter 42

Mark stood behind Bra and held on to her hand gently as she pressed the knife into the much-anticipated wedding cake.

Bra whispered low behind him "If you smear this all over my dress I will seriously hurt you understand."

Mark chuckled. "I had not even though about it, but now I have a new option to think about don't I."

"If you want to die today that is fine with me." Bra stated lightly. "I am your wife now. I get everything any way."

"Ohhh your cold." Mark shook his head as she guided his hand. Bra took the first piece and turned to Mark holding up the piece form him. "Why do I have to go first? Is it poisoned?"

Bra smiled at the cameras as they flashed. "Not at all. "Mark took a piece and looked at it then at Bra's satiny dress. "DON'T!" she warned, Bra's eyes bored into Marks.

Trunks and Goten started to chant "DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!"

Mark gave a halfhearted grin and gently offered the piece to Bra. "OH MAN!" Goten sigh "He is whipped already!"

Pan picked up the cake cutter and handed it to Goten "If you feel that way you can serve everyone else."

"BUT, BUT, BUT!" Goten held the knife looking defeated. "NOOOO! I am hungry."

Marron rolled her eyes "Goten you just ate half a COW! Not to mentions the rest of the meal!"

"But I left room for cake!"

Bra jumped up. "It is time for the tossing of the Bouquet!" She rushed up on the stage. "Come on girls! Don't be shy!" She looked at the group of women standing out in front of her and then glance over at the to blondes huddled in the corner drinking punch and talking, "MARRON!, MELODY! You two better get over here."

Mark rushed over and grabbed Melody by the arm "Come on sis! I think I should at least try to marry you off!"

"I do not want to get married yet MARK!" Melody stuttered, "I have not finished college! I want my degree first! Mark let go of me!"

Marron walked over to stand next to Melody. "Don't worry just do not try to catch it! I promise it works!" she looked over at Goten and then back to Melody quickly "Trust me, it has never failed me."

Melody did not miss the glance and frowned. "I am sure that."

Marron shook her head "I am over it. Trust me. It is not longer worth the effort."

Bra tossed the bouquet back over her head and the white roses and dark green filler spun in the air and seemed to hang there. Melody looked up and saw the bouquet dropping toward her. With a sudden shove Marron was pushed in front of them and the bouquet landed in her arms.

"That was close!" Melody sighed, "Thanks for keeping your promise!" Melody grinned at Marron's stunned expression.

Bra turned and squealed in delight as she saw Marron cradling the bouquet in her arms and then thrusting it out in front of her. The big blue eyes wavering in shocked horror.

Mark leaned in to Trunks. "This does not bode well for Goten does it?"

Trunks got a devious look in his eyes. "You just do your job and get that garter off my sister. I will do the rest. It is about time the stupid girl chaser finally figures out what girl to chase!

Mark nodded and walked over to Bra as one of the band members produced a chair for her.

Bra looked at him and blushed madly. "Having you life my skirts in private is one thing. This is embarrassing."

"But it has to be done." Mark leaned over and whispered in her ear "Because without that garter, Goten wont be firmly entrapped!"

"Entrapped." bra gave him a confused look and then her eyes widened "Ohhhh ENTRAPPED!!!" She nodded in acceptance "What are you waiting for get this thing off!" Bra presented her leg to Mark.

Vegeta handed Aiko another glass of punch. Why the rest of the adults were telling her she could not have any of the ruby red liquid was beyond him. It was obvious the child liked it. She was even on he third glass.. Looking up he saw Mark lifting his daughters skirt in front of the entire room and paled. "WOMAN!!!! I thought THAT was suppose to be kept in the bad room!"

Bulma looked away from the stage to Vegeta. "It is an earth custom. Like Bra tossing the bouquet, only for . men. VEGETA!" she shrieked and ripped the glass from the swaying Aiko "WHAT ARE YOU THINKGING!"

"I was thinking the child was thirsty." Vegeta snorted and crossed his arms.

Bulma waves the glass at Vegeta as Aiko tried futilely to reach out for it. "This punch is SPIKED!" Vegeta gave her a blank look in response. "VEGETA!" Bulma thundered, "It has alcohol in it! Look at Aiko!"

Vegeta watched as the child stumbled two steps and fell on the floor. "oh." Was all he said.

Mark twirled the garter on his finger and shouted out "Bring out my victims! MWHAHAHAHAHA!" Trunks leaned over Goten who was stuffing more cake in his mouth. "Goten, buddy! I have a bet for ya!"

Goten looked up and tilted his head to one side and swallowed. "What?"

"I bet you can not catch that thing that Mark is waving!" Trunk pointed over at the groom.

"What is it?" Goten blinked in confusion.

"A cake garter! Who ever catches it gets to take the left-overs home!" Trunks gestured to the caterers. Who were still presenting plate after plate to the guests. "Mom and Dad ordered enough o feed a Saiyan army!"

"NO WAY!" Goten rushed over "That thing is MINE!"

Mark watched as the small group of terrified men was herded over like lambs to the slaughter.

Only Goten stood in the center shouting "ME! ME! COME ON MAN OVER HERE!!! MEEEEeeeee!"

The man next to him muttered, "he has to be drunk."

On the other side the fellow there was being shoved and pushed by Goten's enthusiastic hopping "No man can be that drunk. He is on drugs."

Mark pulled the garter back like a huge rubber band and shot it right at Goten. Who reached out and snagged it. Hugging the lacey white and blue garter with the tiny satin bow and pearl pendant he cheered "YOUR MINE! YOUR ALL MINE!"

Marron felt her jaw drop open and Melody dragged her to him. Beaming Melody asked '"Wow you are excited by the prospect of getting married soon aren't you!"

Goten blinked stupidly "Married! Heck no I just want the food!"

Marron snarled. She was shaking in her rage. Enough was enough. How long has it been? Years of her life wasted waiting this MORON! She bashed the bouquet down over his head. The entire room went silent, Trunks standing in horror, Mark holding a stunned Bra to his chest. "I hate YOU GOTEN! I swear WHAT do I have to DO to get you to notice ME! You are chasing women all the time but what about ME! I am not ugly! I could have any guy I wanted and what did I do waste my time waiting on you!" Goten felt his eyes widen as her words suck in, and he realized for the first time Marron's feelings for him. "Well I am giving up on you! Give THIS. " She Shoved the bouquet into his free hand "To some one who cares!" Turning she lifted her dress and ran from the room tears streaming from her eyes.

Goten stood with the bouquet in one hand and the garter in the other. He looked down at them and then shoved them to Melody since she was the closest person to him "Hold these for me, please. " then he chased after Marron calling her name.

Trunks watched his disappear and held his arms up like some one had just kicked a field goal "AND IT IS GOOD!"

" This was the best day ever!" Bra leaned closer to let Mark nibble on her ear as she watched the room. She watched Trunks and Pan plying little Aiko with coffee as Vegeta looked on. Goten sat on the floor at Marron's feet begging for her attention. Marron was staring down at him now and then the anger had melted away to amusement and it seemed that there was a new romance full in bloom. "I think there will be another wedding within the year." She turned to face Mark.

"That would be nice." Mark rested his forehead on his wife's. "But I think it is time for use to go. The limo is waiting."

Bra watched him stand up “Where are we going?" she asked.

"To start the rest of our life.” Mark put out his hand to her. “A never ending honeymoon."

The END

NEVER - The Aiko Story

(Sneak peek)

Father?" Aiko shifted in her chair and waited for him to respond. He was lost in thought. Aiko repressed her groan. When he raised his blue eyes to hers Aiko had a chill of apprehension run over her? She swallowed and tried to control the intense feelings raging through her. Something was not right. Aiko drew a long low breath.

"Aiko, I asked you here for a reason." Trunks leaned forward. It had all started out so calmly. "I have decided that you will be the next president of Capsule."

Aiko felt the life flowing right out of her. "What." Had that whispered word been in her voice? Why was it so quiet? Inside her every fiber was on fire with one word. NO!

"I know that everyone has always assumed that Ichiro would take the reins after I retired. "Trunks watched Aiko looking for some reaction. She just sat before him still as stone. "But I have to face facts. Ichiro and Kenjinshi do not have what it takes to run a company like Capsule."

Aiko jolted to life. "No. I don't want it." She was still quiet as she sat forward. The delicate looking hands clinching the arm of her chair.

Trunks had half expected this reaction. He remembered how he had felt when Capsule and come to him. It was like a huge anchor around his neck. Still he had learned to accept it. Aiko would as well. "I am sorry you feel that way, Aiko, but the papers are being drawn up as we speak. You will start working with me next week."
