► Chapter 01     Chapter 02     Chapter 03     Chapter 04     Chapter 05     Chapter 06: Alternate Opening Gohan's POV

There he is. Standing proudly in his black tuxedo the love of my life, up there on the altar in front of a priest as he says his vows and holds his bride-to-be’s small white gloved hands. He’s getting married today and not to me like how it should be. He’s actually marrying my daughter, Pan.

Why is he doing it? He doesn't even love her. He told me that himself! Well… in not so many words but it doesn't change the fact that he’s not marrying her for love. Whereas she is as she starts to say her own vows to him. He has a shine in his eyes, as if he’s about to cry. It makes me want to throw up.

I can’t help but stare up at him, seething in a rage at the unfairness of this situation while Videl dabs her eyes with a tissue next to me. She and I have been divorced for many years now, but we always remained on good terms. She and everyone else in the church are so into the wedding that no one can sense my energy fluctuating in anger.

No one but Trunks and I can tell how nervous he is. He should be. Bastard. I loved him and he does something like this to me?! He never knew about my love but that gives him no right to take advantage of my little girl like this!

No one will listen to me though. After Trunks and I had gotten into our fight when I found out that he didn't even love her, I told Pan. She is so naive though. She simply smiled sweetly before patting my hand, acting as if I was just being the overprotective father as she told me with a straight face that he wasn't taking advantage of her.I tried to tell other people so that I could stop the wedding but no one would believe that Trunks would be foul enough to try something like that on Pan. My own father even said that I was being ridiculous, and after several death threats from Vegeta, I learned to leave everything alone.

But something’s wrong! I can feel it! He’s looking down at my daughter almost with disappointment in his eyes when she says “I Do” and now she’s waiting for him to do the same.

Pan’s just too innocent for her own good. She knew about my love for Trunks long before this whole wedding thing started. She fell in love with him too and I can’t blame her for it, and I can’t try to stop them from marrying without looking like the bad guy. So, all I can do is sit here, watching the ceremony as my cold hearted love breaks my heart and marries my daughter with no love in his own heart for her. After that, I’ll simply wait for the marriage to ultimately end in divorce and try not to say “I told you so” when she comes home crying. I’ll be supportive.

But still, he has everything he could ever want! Why would he marry her if he doesn't love her?!

He suddenly looks at me out of the corner of his eye, something that almost resembles a desperate plea until he looks back at Pan's smiling face and with tears streaming down his cheeks, says “I Do”. Sealing the marriage with a kiss while everyone but me claps their hands.

Trunks’s POV

I can’t believe I’m doing this. I can’t believe Pan’s making me do this! Christ Gohan, I’m about to marry your fucking daughter here! Stand up! Say something! Do something already!! Stop us!!

But no. He does nothing but sit there, seething and snarling at me in a rage. Not that I blame him. I am marrying his nineteen year old daughter who is fourteen years younger than me.

God. How could she do this to me?! I thought we were friends! I actually thought that it would be safe for her to know about me and she does this to me. In a moment of weakness I told Pan that I was gay and in love with her father, hoping that perhaps she could tell me if Gohan felt the same about me.

But she didn't tell me a thing. She blew up on me and acted as if I had done her some terrible injustice when I told her that. She even threatened to tell my father about me. She knows perfectly well how he feels about homosexuals. If my father knew, he would kill me. And with him being four times stronger than me, he could and would do it to.

That’s how this started. Basically, it’s either marry her and give her the picture perfect fairy tale marriage or she spills the beans on me and I die a horrible painful death. I supposed that marrying her is better anyway. Gohan hates my guts and wants me dead right now anyway so it’s not like I’m missing out on anything.

He and I talked once, alone after the wedding had been announced. I could of swore that I saw a hurtful look in his eyes. Probably didn't expect his little girl to be getting married so soon. He took me into the other room to talk and then started asking some questions. Strange questions. Why choose Pan? Wouldn't you prefer someone else? Are you sure? Do you love her?

…Do you love her. The question that almost killed me that day. Of course not! I love you! Save me already! I wanted to scream at him. But I stupidly kept my mouth shut out of fear of my father and when I hesitated he obviously figured out my lack of emotion for his daughter and then the fists were thrown.

I fought back, of course, but in the end he walked away with fewer cuts and bruises than I did. And from that day forward, he looked at me with a fiery hate in his eyes that I just can’t bare to look at. The love of my life hates me, and no one aside from Pan and Bra will ever know. I have nothing now. Goddamn it, Pan! How could you do this to me?

She’s just said “I Do” now I’m expected to say the same. Fuck, I think I’m gonna cry here. I can’t help but look over at the man who hates me but whom I love out of the corner of my eye, looking for a sign that he plans on stopping me. Nope. He’s still glaring death at me with his arms crossed, but no one seems to notice.

Bra’s in the seat behind him and she’s got her arms crossed with a death glare on her face too. It makes me feel a little better knowing that, that look isn't directed at me. She knows about me and my baby sis has always supported me no matter what. I can be glad for that much. Needless to say, after Pan started her little blackmail thing on me, their friendship has been officially fucked.

Pan has just squeezed my hand tightly, and I look back down at her to see the warning in her eyes, blended in with the expectant smile on her face as she waits for me to finish this. I will not cry. I will not cry. I will not cry!

I can feel tears running down my face. Fuck, I’m crying. “I do.” I say, feeling as if I’d just died when those words were uttered. Hearing everyone in the church give their applause as we kiss.

Fucking kill me.

Pan's POV

This is what you get father! I loved him first and now he’s mine! How could he expect me to hear that he’s in love with the man I love and think that I’ll take it lightly?!? At first, I’ll admit it, when my father told me about his infatuation with my crush, I didn't take it seriously. After all, it wasn't like Trunks would want him back as long as I was around, right?

Wrong! They both wanted each other! How could they do that to me?! It wasn't fair! Trunks would rather have my own father than me?! What was so wrong with me that he didn't want me? I want him for my husband! Not my step- father!

I've just finished saying my vows and then saying “I do”, now all that’s left if for Trunks to do the same. I can see my father seething in his seat out of the corner or my eye. That’s just what he gets! Trunks is mine and no one else’s! I've loved him for too long to lose him to my own father! It’s a good thing they don’t know about their feelings for each other or else I’d be royally screwed.

That time my father beat Trunks up, I was kinda happy that he did. It made Trunks think that he wouldn't want him anyway, as well as get rid of any ideas he might have of leaving me. Not that he would with Vegeta’s watchful eye on him. God bless that man!

He’s looking at him out of the corner of his eye, trying to get him to stop us, I can tell. I squeezed his hand, getting his attention as he looks back down at me. He knows I’ll tell on him if he doesn't do this, so I’m not too worried.

He swallows shakily, tears running down his face that almost make me feel guilty for this but no matter. I’ll be the one to make him happy, he just needs a little time. “I do.” He says, and I can’t help but smile brightly at those words as we kiss and hear everyone applaud us.

This is my happy ending. ► Chapter 01     Chapter 02     Chapter 03     Chapter 04     Chapter 05     Chapter 06: Alternate Opening
