Chapter 38:Decisions
Ray's Point of View
"--re's no way I'm carrying both of you back to Capsule Corp.!!"
I blinked my eyes open and found myself face down on the ground. I rolled over and stared up at the sky.
"Glad to see you finally woke up."
I turned my head and smirked,"Hey, Trunks....Did we get 'em?"
He grinned and nodded,"Yeah, you got him all right. I don't think even a set of Dragonballs would be able to bring him back after an attack like that!"
I chuckled and closed my eyes,"I feel like I got myself at the same time...."
"Well, you going to stand up or what?"
I slowly, and unsteadily, started to get to my feet. Trunks placed a hand on my shoulder to steady me.
"Thanks."
"No problem. It's the least I can do for you avenging my mom," he replied, removing his hand.
"And Spyroton, and stopping him from hurting Sarah, Ashley, and everyone else," I added.
"Zapland, hurry and wake up. We don't want to carry you," he said, nudging Zapland slightly.
"I AM awake! I just cannot move...." Zapland trailed off.
I sighed and helped him to his feet,"Fine, I guess we'll carry you over to Capsule Corp."
"Humiliating," he growled,"I would rather be carried by that screeching woman than you two. At least she will not drop me in her stupidity."
"Keep talking like that and we will drop you," Trunks threatened.
We lifted into the air and started our flight back to Capsule Corp. Occasionally, we'd act like we were falling just to scare Zapland. I couldn't imagine what he'd do to us after he got his energy back.

"There they are!!" someone on the ground shouted.
We landed on the ground and leaned Zapland against a tree. He wasn't too thrilled with the idea, but we did it anyway.
"I hope you gave that creep a real beating," Chi-Chi said.
"Of course," I replied,"Why wouldn't I?"
"Same here," Zapland muttered.
"Aww....You can't move can you? You poor thing!" Jessie exclaimed, slowly making her way to him.
She wrapped her arms around him tightly, causing his face to turn a bright red. I held back my laughter at the sight, trying not to anger Zapland further.
"What are you doing? Let go of me, woman!!!" he shouted.
Chi-Chi nodded to herself,"Definitely like Vegeta. Scary, isn't it Gohan?"
Gohan only grinned in response. The rest of us laughed like we really meant it for the first time in what seemed like forever. At least now, things would be a little more peaceful.

It had been a few weeks since Zapland and I defeated our father. Everyone's lives were slowly putting themselves together again. Trunks became President of Capsule Corporation, and my 'assistant lab rat' as I liked to call him. I was the vice President and in charge of testing new products, which is why I always tried to stay on Sarah's good side. She became CEO of the mega-corporation just like Bulma suggested. Despite our jobs, the other employees usually did things on their own. Which meant we were free to do whatever.
Eventually, we told Cirrus and Jessie all about us. Our heritage, our abilities, and everything else. Strangely enough, they weren't surprised by it. I guess seeing two people change their hair color right in front of you does that.
The biggest surprise after Zaffiroth's defeat a new energy appearing out of nowhere. It turns out that I have a sister named Alia. She was pulled into the dimension when Trunks and I transformed to our respective second levels. She revealed a lot of stuff about me, and even Zapland, that none of us could have guessed. Me? A Prince? It was a little frightening knowing that Zaffiroth was the King of Tororins.
As Sarah and I got closer, I couldn't help but wonder about our future. So, I decided to take a chance.
"Trunks, you awake!!?" I called through the door.
All I heard was snoring. I shook my head and glanced at a clock. Not even noon yet. Sighing, I pulled a key out of my pocket and unlocked the door. When I walked in, Trunks was asleep in his chair with his feet propped up on the desk.
"You know your mother wouldn't approve of this," I chuckled.
I fired a weak beam of energy at his head, causing his chair to tip over with him. After the fall, he stood up and glared daggers at me.
"How did you get in? The door was locked!" he exclaimed.
I held up the master key to the building,"I'm the CEO's boyfriend, idiot. I can access any room I want to."
"Not even I have one of those, and you're just a guinea pig for new technology! Why does it seem like you beat me to everything that doesn't even intelligence and strength?" he grumbled.
"Don't you even care why I'm here?"
He set his chair back up and sat down, rubbing his temples,"What is it? It better be good...."
I pulled a small black box out of my pocket and tossed it to him. He raised an eyebrow before opening. His eyes widened and he quickly shut it once he saw what was inside.
"Do you think Sarah will like it?" I asked.
He opened the box again and whistled,"I think so....Wait...You aren't gonna....You are, aren't you...?"
I nodded,"It's an engagement ring. I'm going to ask her to marry me by the end of the day. So.....What do you think?"
"........I couldn't be more happier for you!! It's about time you got it through that thick head of your's! Oh man, she's going to love you forever when you show her this! Er....How much was it?"
I laughed sheepishly, realizing that he knew I used his money,"I owe you about a thousand zenie....I hope you don't mind."
He got up from his chair,"Of course not. As long as you pay me back, that is. The ironic thing is....Take a look at this."
He handed me a box identical to the one I had shown him. Inside was a diamond engagement ring with a small emerald in the center.
"For Ashley?"
"Yep. We're too much like each other. Making the same life altering decision on the same day."
I looked out the window and stared up at the sky,"Somewhere up there....Bulma's laughing like a little kid and talking about grandchildren from you."
"She'd be just as happy about your decision. You remember what she told you before she died," Trunks stated as he stood beside me.
I smiled, remembering Bulma's words as I headed toward the door," I think I'll ask Sarah now. If only my knees would stop shaking."
"Uh....I've got your ring to Sarah and you've got mine to Ashley," he said.
I stopped and tossed him the box, catching mine at the same time.
"Good luck, Ray."
"Thanks. Same to you, Trunks," I responded,"Try not to fall asleep on the job again."
He muttered something as I closed the door and headed to the elevator. A new building for Capsule Corp. had been built, and was much larger than the last. But the original Capsule Corp was repaired and used as a house for all of us.
'Well, time to get this over with,' I thought, thankful that Trunks decided to ignore the thought.
