Crazy in Love
------------
All Loved Up, Honey (Epilogue)
------------
[Marron]
Looking back, it's so hard to pinpoint the exact moment when I completely fell in love with Trunks. Perhaps it was when he kissed me at the hospital that night, I don't know! It might have been when I first laid eyes on him in high school. Whatever the case, I've found my soulmate, and he's here, with me.
Back at the hospital that night, we just stayed and talked to each other as if nothing major had actually happened. It was just how I loved it. Friends in love. Not people in love, but friends in love. The best type of love to start what was to be such a beautiful adventure. A week later, Trunks got out of there and was alive and kicking again, as if he'd have it any other way? He took me to Paris for two weeks and it was magic. You should have seen the way we were. So... pathetic. People must have thought we were mad, but then again, no one really cared.
The biggest surprise was when we came back. Goten and Paresu were planning their wedding. I half fainted the first time I heard this. And wholly fainted when she showed me the ring. In fact, I wasn't surprised by the size of the rock, now that's just so typical, I was surprised at the design. They were amethyst crystals in a thin trail of ivy-like gold- very flattering. And Paresu has such wonderful hands.
Well, now, it's three years since all that happened. Their wedding day was a grand event, on the Kame Island. It was so simple yet astoundingly precious and original. That's what made it so priceless. Paresu looked stunning in her beautiful lilac dress, she always did like the more modern looks. I prefer a traditional white, myself. Goten was just- Goten, I guess. He wore white and looked all for the role of the handsome hunk. The air on that day was filled with suffocating romance but yet it seemed like the perfect antidote for a lonely disease for anyone who was there. An exceptional day in my mind.
And guess what? I've heard about Lorna from around. She's been latched on to a Mr. Yamaguchi as of the previous six months. He sells- clocks- I think? Very pricey wages nonetheless, catch my drift? But who knows, lovely Lorna may have bagged herself true love in the form of a an eight figure summed man. Six months is a while, after all. Let's hope it's for the best because I'm just simply not bitter enough to wish anyone misfortune in their life... often.
Errol Valentine is the sweetest guy. I mean, three guesses who's got their fashion business up and running? No, it's not Polly the cloned sheep. Errol, as sweet as he is, and as a wedding present, gave me a start in the business world! And note that I mentioned wedding there, we'll talk about that more- later. Anyway, business has been rooftop high since it started a year ago. I earn enough money every month for me to go to Paris for a week and enough over to feed the kids six times over. Errol is my best friend, along with a certain troublemaker, and I can't thank him enough simple for existing. He's my beautiful gay angel.
And for a moment there, you didn't think I was talking about my kids, did you? No sexual intercourse before marriage, remember? And I wasn't married just yet. G and 'Rees's kids, of course, they're called Blossom and Tomey. Weird names or what? Imagine calling your kids that. But they are also another pair of angels in my life. I'm their godmother and I fainted when I heard that, too. More often than none, I sometimes ambush Paresu's house and steal her kids. But it doesn't help when the kids are actually screaming at you to take them from their rampaging mother. It doesn't help the 'tough gangster thug' image if the kids are clinging to you like starfish. Blossom's a year older than Tomey, and he's one, now. They practically had the kids straight away. And the happy families thing suits them like fleas on a monkey.
Hey mister, don't touch the rock... hmm that was just Trunks nearly whacking me in the face with his gigantic elephant arm. Oh, and, did I say? He proposed, a month ago.

'Trunks, help me with the shopping, you oversized potato!!'
No answer.
'Trunks?' I was screaming through a mass of hair that had inconveniently plastered itself across my face. I stepped over the boxes that had been situated all over the floor of our new house. Suddenly, I stumbled my footing and fell onto the velvet carpet with a thump. 'Ow...'
Trunks stood over me and picked me up.
'Sorry about that, babe.' he said while carrying me effortlessly in his arms. He carried me into the large living room and ignored me when I protested about the spilled groceries in the corridor. 'Quit your whining, woman.'
He dropped me onto the large cushion in the middle of the room- I had put it there when I realised we had no seats- and gave me a great big kiss on the lips.
'Hmm, doesn't this feel great, Marron? I mean, our own place, together!' he excitedly mused whilst his eyes darted around the empty space that reflected the maximum amount of natural light possible into our lovely home. 'I love you, Marron.'
'I love you, too, babe.' I whispered with a cheeky grin on my face, hoping for him to whisk me off into the fully equipped bedroom- fully equipped for obvious reasons- but he didn't. Instead he just smiled lazily into the sunshine. 'Marron,' he started, still with that ever casual, I'm-sexy-but-you're-hot grin on his face that I'd familiarized with. 'Since I've settled with you now,' he continued airily. '... And won't be likely to find anyone better...' he jerked back a bit when I punched him in the side. 'Honey... that was, a good thing.' he laughed cleverly. I just kept my eyebrows raised and opted to wait for his final speech, but not really sure to where he was going. And then it hit me.
'Trunks-' I hastily stuttered, but the guy seemed to want to finish so I decided to do the best thing and bask in the moment.
'Marron, I want us to be in love forever. And I want to marry you. So... here.' and with that, he brought out a beautiful velvet box, long in lengthways, and handed it to me. It was levitating in the air when I took it from his hand and when I opened it, the first thing that came to my heart, was yes.
'Trunks, I'm yours.'
We stayed motionless for a few seconds but all that was broken again when Trunks leapt onto me and started to provide the full tickle works.

Yes, that was the story of how Trunks got Marron. Anyway, Bulma- being Bulma- made wedding plans immediately. 'One month' she said, 'is all that the required for preparations. If it was up to me, it'd be a week.'
Good old Bulma, so interfering but welcome. That day was today. Just eight hours ago, I walked down that aisle and told Trunks I love him, and that I'd love him in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer.
So that's it. The story of my life. I just hope that you guys have enjoyed that since I kind of walked you through it. Of course, there will always be minor complications. Zack- remember him?- must have found out about Trunks and I because the other week, he sent me a letter with his blessings. To be honest, it was more scornful than wishful, but I don't really tend to lose sleep over that as long as I've got the simple pleasures in life.
It's all I ever asked for, and I got more. I got Trunks. I don't regret a thing. What's to regret if it turns out wonderfully in the end? I suppose I knew I was saving myself for him all along.
And now, just lying here, stroking his beautiful purple hair, feeling his heart beat, I couldn't have chosen a better adventure.

A/N- *sad look* That's it, that's the end of our journey, and I feel amazed at my progress. Not only online, but in life as well. You people out there- my reviewers- you've become part of my life. I feel like I know you now. There will always be something that keeps the bond. I love you guys ^_^
One last thanks to everyone who reviewed this story, and anyone who even read it.
Peace out, in, over, under, left, and right, and for the last time in this tale *double fingers*
Goodnight.
