A/N: This was something I did for a friend. I Kinda didn't want to do two talwynxratchet stories in a row. But, I did like the premise of this one. It could be considered as a follow up to "goodbye old friend".
Warnings: Talwynxratchet, Alt universe as of all 4 one, Painfully short.
Disclaimer: I don't own ratchet and clank, I do, however, own crash bandicoot, pokemon and call of duty.
Random person: NO YOU DON'T!
Me: I know -_-
Life can take many unexpected turns. That's not me being deep, that's something somebody said to me once when I was a kid. I don't exactly remember who, but god were they right.
I always dreamed of leaving Veldin, seeing the universe and finding out where I came from. I always knew I'd leave, well, always hoped anyway. But I never would have thought that I would save galaxies and become a household name. Though, I guess none of it would have happened if it weren't for Clank.
Really, that was one of the best aspects of my life, my friendship with Clank. We went so far, did so much. I loved every moment. But once again, fate (or whatever) through me a curveball. A curveball called Talwyn. When we first met, I admit that I was kinda distracted. I was desperate to find out my past (a journey which I still haven't completed) and then, later, searching for Clank. But when I was looking for Clank, I found something else.
I guess that I was always attracted to her, but I really started to get to know her, and love her. That's why I told her to leave. Why we parted after merdegraw. I couldn't stand the thought of losing her. And so, I broke her heart, and she broke mine.
When I found out I wasn't the last Lombax, I was overjoyed. Alister was like a father to me, and that made his betrayal that much worse. But some good came out of it, as I was reunited with Clank. And I thought that we would never part again.
But, yet again, fate (or whatever) brought me and Talwyn together again. And we fell in love again. Once again, Clank and I parted ways, for the last time.
That was twenty years ago. Now, my life isn't about saving planets, or death-combat. It's more or less about my family. Tal and I have been parents for nearly sixteen years. That was easily the most unexpected thing that ever happened to me. (well, possibly not, but it's in the top ten.)
I never really did find out that much about my parents. I never really found out where I came from, but I know where I'm going. And that's as good as it gets.
