Are We Next?

A Maid of Honor and a Best Man

Even though it was 3 in the morning, the three impatients clapped and cheered.

"I am so happy for you guys! I will throw you the BEST engagement party!" Bulma clapped with glee. Shelly was excited as well knowing how amazing Bulmas parties are.

"Thanks Mom. This was definitely a long time coming!" Trunks gave Shelly a short but sweet kiss.

Everyone eventually found themselves in bed. Goten decided to stay the night, so Shelly slept with Bulla in her room that night.

"You guys took so long!" The sleepy blunette groaned.
"Sorry. Like I said we got side tracked." The tuffle halfling spoke.

They both climbed into bed, and before another word was spoken, they were asleep.

•~•~•

The sunlight relentlessly shone it's rays through the blinds of Trunks bedroom. They had only been asleep a few hours and daylight reared it's unfortunate head. Goten covered his head with the covers and turned away from the bright sun. He still stirred.

Goten sat up and sniffed. Knowing very well his day is about to start. Stupid day and night cycle! He said to himself.

He walked down to help himself to some food in the Breifs household fridge, which was always stacked with the most delicious food! He gathered up some eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and fruit and began making breakfast.

"I should've known it was you down here man." Trunks stumbled down the stairs a yawn escaping from his mouth.

"You need better blinds." The younger son retorted.

"So, mister engaged man! About time you stepped up to the plate!" Goten poured milk into the pancake mix and began stirring.

"Everyone says that. But they are probably right. I just was comfortable for awhile. I loved the stage we were in. But I'm so happy to be with her. After everything we've been through." Trunks grabbed some fruit and popped them into his mouth.

"You have quite a story." Goten sighed. "Hopefully as much as I love you guys, mine won't be so dramatic, traumatic, and complicated." Goten stated matter-of-factly.

"You make it sound like something to regret. I wish I never lost all that time with her while Dr.Myuu screwed with her DNA, but I'm just happy she came back, and now we get to spend the rest of our lives together." Trunks grinned and walked behind Goten patting his shoulder as the opened the fridge.

"Kind of like you and my sister someday." A proud laugh stiffled out of his mouth as the clueless halfling tensed up and nearly dropped the pancake he was flipping.

"What do you mean? B? she's so much younger than me, besides I thought I just mentioned not complicated. Which it totally would be having your dad breathing down my neck harder than he breathes down Shelly's" Goten now a bit flustered returned to his pancakes.

Little did he know, Bulla was listening. The young princess sighed and walked back to her room.

Why do I bother? I'm just kidding myself.. why couldn't I be born earlier?

Bulla flopped on the bed landing on Shelly's hand.

"OUCH. B why'd you-" Shelly stopped to see Bulla in deep thought.

"Hey. You alright?" Shelly sat up criss cross wearing one of Trunks shirts which look more like a night gown on her.

"I just....heard something, that's all."
Bulla didn't even turn to Shelly. Her back still toward her.

"Girl if you don't turn around... I can't hear you." Shelly chuckled. Bulla turned and repeated what she had said.

"I heard Goten and Trunks talking downstairs. They were talking about me and.. well, ugh. Nevermind. I don't think I want to talk about it."

Shelly was silent for a few seconds.

"You heard Goten say you were too young and dating you would be complicated and he doesn't want a complicated relationship."

Bulla's head dropped.

Right. Forgot. She reads minds.

"Is it silly that I like him? He's right there is an age difference. But I'm 20 years old gosh darn it. I'm no little kid."

Shelly nodded. "Yeah. You're not. But you have to understand. Goten is a very simple guy. There's still somethings he doesn't understand, or know. He may like you but not realize it or might even be scared to even acknowledge you as a possibility. It's a saiyan pride thing."

Bulla wiped her nose.
"Oh yeah I know what that's like. It's also funny because yesterday while we were waiting for you to get home, we sat down to watch a movie. And he sat extremely close to me and even hooked his arm around my shoulders. What is up with that??"

Shelly's eyes widend

"Girl what? You never told me this?"

"It was 3 am Shell. I was ready for BED." They both shared a laugh.

"Okay well you will have to tell me all about it, but for now I smell breakfast and I'm starving!" Shelly scooted off the bed.
"Are you alright?" Shelly hugged her best friend.

"Yeah, thanks!" Bulla and Shelly ran downstairs to see the crazy buffet Goten made. If he learned anything from his mother besides his basic training, it's how to cook.

And man was he good at it.

"Good morning girls!" Trunks said with a plate of food at the table.

"Good morning!" Shelly placed a kiss on her fiance.
Bulla could feel Gotens obsidian gaze on her as she tried to loom everywhere but back at him.

"Hey B! Did you sleep well?" There he was with the apron on, and a plate ready to go for the blunette princess. The signature Son grin plastered on his face as if he didn't just unintentionally shove a knife through her heart 15 minutes ago.

"Just fine!" Was all she responded. She took the plate and thanked him. The four now sitting down to eat.

As food was being shoveled into the mouths from the 2 half saiyan men, Shelly cleared her throat and placed a hand on Trunks shoulder causing Trunks to look at her so much food in his mouth that his cheeks were puffed out. Shelly couldn't help but giggle.

"Trunks and I have something to ask you two."

Both boys swallowed their bites.

"We want you guys to be our maid of honor and Best man."

Bulla and Gotens faces lit up.

"Really?? Why me? What about Iry?" Iry is Shelly's older sister and the one who raised her.

"She will help you out, but Wind n Rain is closing a fashion deal so she won't be able to help me with everything. So I need you B. Will you do it? "

Bulla nearly teared up.

"Of COURSE!!!!!"

"Your best man. Huh? That's an honor Trunks. Thank you!" The hungry saiyan shoveled another bite of food into his mouth. "I'm touched!" He stated with his mouth full of sausage.

"With that being said, there's a lot we want done." Shelly said as Trunks followed it with "most of it is miss planner over here." Which earned a glare from Shelly.

"Part of that, is helping Bulma with the engagement party. She and I had a brief conversation before we went to bed. And you guys can report to her to ask her what tasks she have the two of you to do." Shelly smiled at Bulla as Trunks made this last statement

"I hope you guys enjoy each other's company."

"Because you'll be spending a lot of time together the next 6 months."
