Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ The Night of No Regrets ❯ Doubts, Talks, Papers, and Family Violence ( Chapter 14 )

Well here goes nothing….

I don't own it… sadly.

She sat alone in her office. She had so much to do and was so stressed. She was to be married in a week. It wasn't that she doubted Goten's love or questioned her own; she just could imagine the rest of her life being so perfect. She just knew something was going to go wrong.

The previous night she was up late working on her vows. Although she loved Goten with all her heart and soul, she couldn't find the words to do the emotion justice. That worried her, too. If she really loved him wouldn't it be easy to say it. "AHHH." Bra grunted in frustration. She stacked the files cleanly on her desk, and for the first time since she started working took after her brother's bad influence and hopped out the window to try and get away from it all.

In the sky, above the clouds, she felt free. She let it consume and free her mind. She flew to a spot only 3 other people knew existed. It was their, Trunks, Goten, Pan, and Bra, spot to go and think or kid and have fun when she and Pan were teenagers. She landed and walked into the cave. She willed her ki to give light. It hadn't changed at all. She lit the torches they had mounted around the walls. As she looked over the rocks and walls memories flooded her mind. Her and Pan planning talking of marrying movie stars to her and Trunks talking about parent problems, to Pan and Trunks arm wrestling while she and Goten looked on. Then she remembered how she used to watch Goten, his every move. Anything he did was gold. He always tried to play peacemaker with Trunks and Pan. He always had a smile for her when she was around. He always seemed to look out for her just even when Trunks over looked her. Then she was reminded of the last time they were all there at the same time.

It was the night before Bra's graduation from high school. She had realized the feelings she felt for Goten were love long ago. When he came in the cave he looked at her and offered her a small gift. It was a woven bracelet, wishing bracelet he explained. You tie it around your wrist and when it falls off the wish will come true. As he had explained he tied it around her wrist. That night she made her wish that he would love her as she loved him. She had worn the bracelet all through college and never fell off. Then one day during her final year, she looked at her arm and it was gone. Bra smiled when she realized that she did get her wish.

Bra was young still; she graduated high school and college early just like her brother. She was already the most successful girl of her class. The papers said she was the most desirable VP of the corporate world. She had her mother's brains and her father's will. She was ready for what life had to offer her and Goten. As she thought she sat on one of the old stone `chairs.' She let her mind drift into the adolescent memories again letting time pass like it was nothing.

"I thought I would find you here." Trunks said from the entrance.

She flinched and turned quickly in her surprise. "Trunks! Why don't you give me a heart attack next time?"

"Sorry sis, what's up?" he asked in concern as he took a seat on the rock beside her.

"I was about t have a nervous break down at work; so, I came here. I dunno it just kinda called to me."

"Cold feet?" Trunks asked.

"Kinda… I just can't seem to believe it's all gonna come true, that I actually get the fairytale all girls dream about." She explained.

"Why not, do you not think you deserve it?"

"Maybe that's it."

"If you want something you deserve to have it, especially if you will work for it." Trunks rubbed her back to comfort her.

"I suppose, but I always thought my dream was too much to ask. What do you dream about for your life?" She asked for common ground.

Trunks took time to think about his answer. "I want to be happy. I want to keep Cap Corp. at the top like it is now. Someday, I hope to get married to a girl that understands who and what I am and loves every part of it. I'd like to have a family and a son or daughter that would take my place when I retired from Capsule."

"Are you happy?" She asked peering deep into his eyes.

"Yes."

Bra laughed, "Great, now all you need to start looking for a girl that will love you. What kind of girl do you want to love?"

"Hmmm let me think." He was silent for a few moments. "I want a girl in a short skirt and a long jacket."

Bra laughed until her sides hurt. "No really. You aren't getting any younger."

"Okay, now you're sounding like mom. But I have been thinking about it a lot lately. I want a girl who isn't afraid to speak her mind and be herself. She needs to be a real firecracker and always do the farthest thing from expected. She needs to be caring and honest. It would be good if she was career oriented and would understand the demands of my job. I think the most important thing would have to be that she knew me for Trunks not the CEO of cap corp., the world's most eligible bachelor, or the richest man in the world. I want to be loved for the guy who still watches cartoons on Saturday, hates to get out of bed to go to work, and loves the precious time I get to spend with my family, immediate and distant."

"Wow, that's a lot to ask of a girl." Bra said jokingly.

"Ah, I'm in know rush. I know she's out there I just have to find her."

Bra raised and eyebrow, "How do you plan to do that. You never go out."

"When I find her or she finds me, I'll know it. I don't need to go out. I've been out, seen what's it had to offer, and wasn't impressed."

"I guess you're right. I got what I've always wanted, but what I always wanted was always right in front of me; I just had to grab it before someone else did."

Trunks smiled at his sister. "We'd better get home."

"Home? But what about work?" Bra asked.

Trunks showed her his watch. "6:30?" She said in disbelief. She had left her office at 3.

"Yep, I came after you work. I didn't want mom yelling because both of us were gone."

Bra laughed and nodded. They extinguished the torches and flew home. That night when Bra tried to write her vows it all come freely. What Trunks had said helped and even given her some ideas.

****

"Pan, will you read something for me?" Goten asked over the phone.

"Sure, what is it?"

"My vows, I want to make sure they sound okay."

"Goten, I can't read you vows. They are for Bra. If they are heart felt then they will sound perfect."

"Okay." Goten said still unsure.

"Trust me."

"I do, it's just that I've never felt so happy and nervous at the same time."

"It's normal. Just remember that love has brought you together and that love will keep you that way." Pan reasoned.

"You're right. I stopped by her office today, but she was out. I wanted to see if she was having the same thoughts."

"She is, but Trunks talked her though it. I guess I get to help you." Pan said acting put out.

"Gee thanks." Goten said in sarcasm.

"No problem, so what thought are you having?"

Goten was silent for a few moments, "Goten?" Pan questioned.

"It's just Bra is….. Bra, she's gorgeous and can have anyone she wants. What if she gets tired of me someday? Forever is a very long time."

"You're right. Bra is gorgeous, and forever is a very long time, but Bra chose you she doesn't want anyone else and never will. You're like a favorite dessert that you just can't get enough of. You please her in more ways than one, and some ways I didn't care to hear about. You need not worry you guys are going to be happy forever."

"Yeah you're right. What about you Panny, what would make you happy forever." Goten realized he let her old nickname slip out and winced.

"Hmm I'm happy right now with life. I do what I love. Forever? Well, I'd like to be a world renowned artist and get married someday to a guy who is absolutely in love with me. He wouldn't care who my dad, mom or granddad was. Most of all he would think I was beautiful inside and out."

"You'll find him someday. The day when you least expect it. That's how Bra found me."

"I know. Well Goten I have to get some stuff done. I have a show in a month. I'm so excited."

"WHAT?!!?!? You have a show. Since when?"

She laughed, "Since about a day ago. I didn't want to take away from the excitement of your wedding. I was going to tell everyone a week or so after, but I guess the jig is up."

"Well Bra and I will be there for you! And don't worry about taking away from our wedding, people have been fussing over it for 2 months."

Pan laughed, "You're right it's time for someone else to have to spot light. Well I have to get busy. I will see you at the rehearsal dinner. If I don't talk to you before then, don't worry just go with your emotion."

"Alright, I will see you then."

"Bye." Pan hung up the phone and began on a new project.

******

The next day's paper headline was unbelievable: VP to Marry Champion.

The story told of the first class wedding that was planned for the next week. It gave the time, location and named a few of the famous attendees. The wedding had been of the utmost secrecy. Bra only wanted close friends of the family and a few friends from college and work. When she read the head line her ki erupted and she wanted blood. She flew to the news building and barged into the editor's office.

"WHAT IS THIS? HOW DID YOU FIND THIS INFORMATION!" she screamed as she pointed to the copy in her hand. The editor babbled about keeping sources secret. He cowered in front of her.

"Mssss. Brieeeefssss I…iii caan't tell you."

"You can and will!" she slammed her hand on to his desk breaking it.

He was shocked at her power, and stunned as she slowly moved toward him. He was powerless to stop her as she grabbed him by the shirt. "TELL ME!" She picked him off the ground a few inches.

"Msssss…."

"Bra! Put him down." Vegeta scolded.

She dropped him from shock of hearing her dad's voice. "Daddy?"

"Girl, what are you doing? You know you must control your strength, I guess with the change your anger was too much. It is of no matter, just go home."

"Change?"

"Nevermind, just go home." He yelled.

Bra gave him an evil look and left as told.

Vegeta sneered at the man. "I know you."

The editor gasped.

"Yes, I know you. You were the snotty journalist who used to hang about our home. How did a disgrace like you become editor? It is of no matter, but let me tell you this. You will somehow see that my daughter's wedding isn't over run with reporters and paparazzi."

"How can I do that. The story is already printed."

Vegeta picked him up just as his daughter had done. "I'm sure you will find a way, or you will find that I cannot be swayed from violence as easily as my daughter; and after I'm done with you, DNA tests won't even be able to identify your remains."

The man shook with fear remembering Vegeta from long ago. "I will try to fix this."

"Do more than try, for your sake." Vegeta dropped him and took his leave.

The editor was left in a cold sweat of fear. He'd have to think of something fast. "Revenge and anger must run in that family." He thought out loud.
