Usagi was in the shower washing herself off, her hair was long as she got done using shampoo. She was alone rubbing the soap off her flowing pink hair until her demi-saiyan husband came in through the curtains uninvited, she of course didn't mind at the last minute.
"Hey I needed to be alone you know." She joked.
"Come on, don't you want to be around me?" Gohan said wrapping his arms around her. He pushed her hair back then gave her a soft kiss on her cheek and let the warm water rain all over them; his short ebony hair started to push down. Usagi enjoyed his touches as his hand began to move up and touch one of her breast; she smiled and placed her hand on it.
"Hey no need to get horny and grab my whoo-has."
Gohan gasped and dropped his arms, he pushed the curtains to the side and got out of the shower and grabbed his towel on the way, he seemed sad.
"Uh Oh." She just realized she said the same word Goten used while he was still alive and with them, even though that word was kind of funny and a little crude it still reminded Gohan of his little brother and how fun loving he was and how he had always made everyone happy. Usagi got out of the shower and put her towel all over herself and followed Gohan.
Gohan sat down on the bed with his palm on the side of his face in a look that could only be recognized as depression of course. Usagi slowly walked forward to him while holding the towel covering the front of her body.
"I'm sorry, I just thought in the moment I wanted to say something funny, I guess I made the wrong choice and picked Gotens."
"It's alright." He walked to his drawer and opened it then picked out a set of clothes for him to wear, Usagi still felt bad for bringing back Gohans dead brother but since Gohan no longer wanted to talk she decided to just put her clothes on and forget about it.
When Gohan and Usagi were all dressed they went downstairs and looked at the group of portraits they had since they first got their home, they were all photographs of their friends and families who had died and in front of all of them was the picture of Goten. Gohan went over and picked it up and looked at it.
"I really miss him, it's been so long."
"I know how you feel." Usagi put her hand on his shoulder
"He sacrificed his life to save all of us, he was brave."
"Yeah, he's just like you said; like his father."
"And he's up there with him." Gohan put down the picture back in its place. Usagi took her time and picked up the portrait of her and the other sailor senshi, she picked the one with her as a kid along with her parents her mother Serenity and Endymion her father. She could remember all of those time she had fighting together with them and the sailors scouts, she began to shed tears as she continued looking at the picture.
"Mom......Dad."
Gohan came to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry Usagi." She whipped the tears from her eyes and gently put the portrait down. Just then Hotaru came in and looked at the pictures. She hadn't asked about the people before all she did was look at them but she could already tell that is was a bad idea to ask so she decided to finally say something for the first time.
"You never really told me what happened to all of them, you didn't even tell me why Goten died."
Gohan smiled down at her and placed his hand on her head. "Would you like to come with me and your mom?"
"Why?" Hotaru asked
"Just come with us and we'll tell you."
Hotaru followed her mother and father to the car, Gohan decided to drive them to the country side, he was heading for the one place where Goten had died; it was near the city that faced Pharaoh 90s destruction and had almost been destroyed along with the rest of the world.
"Hotaru, you wanted to know about those people in the pictures right?" Gohan said.
"Yes"
"Well they all died but me and your mother managed to stay alive and now we are the only ones left out of our friends and family."
"Why? What happened to them?"
He stopped the car which was parked just outside of the city. Gohan, Usagi, and Hotaru got out of the vehicle, it was at this time Gohan would tell her everything.
"There was a woman named Mistress 9." Hotaru paid attention and listened closely for he was talking about the one woman who she had been talking to all this time and wanted to know what her parents knew about her when she was alive.
Gohan continued "Mistress 9 killed all of those people, our friend, family, and everyone who was close to us. Not only that but she absorbed them and took their abilities."
Hotaru gasped "Oh no!"
"While she was powerful we had managed to stop her, but we couldn't stop Pharaoh 90 as it began to consume everything so Goten…. He stopped.
"What?"
Gohan couldn't continue but he wanted to tell her. "Hey Hotaru look up there." Gohan said pointing at the sky. "Do you see the night sky?"
"Yes"
"The star in the sky, He is there, he blew himself up to stop the darkness and it worked, now he's there, the star in the sky."
"They're so beautiful and uncle is there."
Gohan smiled with a tear in his eye "Yeah he is."
"Dad I'm sorry I made you and mom cry but I still need to know what happened to grandma and grandpa."
Gohan knew he had to tell her now that she knows. "My father died because I was so cocky and the enemy named Cell blew himself up in frustration that he couldn't beat me, dad was caught in the explosion."
"And grandma?"
More tears fell from Gohans eyes "I killed her but it was only because she wasn't herself anymore and she tried to kill Goten and there was nothing else I could do." He pulled up his shirt up to show her a huge gash across his abdomen. "This was the scar she gave me when I tried to protect Goten from her."
Hotarus eyes formed tears.
"Daddy I didn't know, I'm sorry." Gohan looked at her "its all right sweetie she is up there with him and I'm sure they are finally a family just as we are." He picked her up and hugged her. Usagi just smiled at them and decided to join in.
Soon after they returned home but before they did they decided to go around some places like the zoo to look at all the monkey and th White Tigers in the cages then the petting zoos then they went to the opening fair playing some games.
"Come on Hotaru give out a smile you won yourself a prize." Gohan said happily but Hotaru didn't. "I'm sorry I can't really I don't know how to."
Usagi placed her hand on her daughters shoulder. "Don't worry one day you will."
"Hey let's go home it's getting late." Gohan suggested and the three of them walked;Hotaru held onto her prize winning teddy bear. Mistress 9 Balefully as her fabrication had failed her.
