Epilogue
It's like rain on your wedding day,
It's a free ride and you're already there.
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought it figures?
-Ironic, Alanis Morsette
"I have a headache the size of Graviton City…"
Ami smiled. "From what I've heard, you got hit pretty hard a couple of times."
Gohan nodded. "Yeah. Piccolo hit you like 'WHAM!' You were out cold for the rest of the fight."
A-ko chuckled. "Well, I'm glad I didn't do any lasting damage. I couldn't live with myself if I had really hurt you, Chibiusa."
Chibiusa smiled. "It's totally alright, A-ko. You weren't yourself."
Makoto brought out a big plate of cookies and set it down before she was jumped by Usagi and Shou. "It all came out all right in the end, anyway. But Ami-chan, how'd you know that the Warlords would help us heal Rubbeus?"
Ami grinned. "Remember I had a little conversation with Kale. I learned a lot about them that day. Among which is the fact that they do care about us and their own. Dais was the one Warlord who gave most of his energy to heal Rubbeus. That should tell you something."
Rei flushed. "I'm sorry I had a hand in all of this. I just got so angry that I let loose."
"It's understandable Rei-chan," Minako said from Seiji's lap. "After all we'd been through it would have been amazing if everyone had kept their cool."
Bulma finished dressing the wounds on Vegeta, who grunted a thanks before speaking. "I think the Warlords are more shaken up than we are, though. After all, we did what came naturally to us-well, you all. Rubbeus will have a hard time realizing that those he thought he despised and vice versa would actually give their lives to help him."
Ami smiled. "I suppose you're right."
"So Kale tells me you're getting better."
Avery smiled. "I am. But what's Kale doing up? He should be resting."
Rubbeus chuckled. "Not when he's the only medical staff we have."
Avery giggled weakly. "Hey, as long as you're alright, I'm sure to get better."
Rubbeus leaned over and kissed her lightly on the lips. "You had better get well."
"After all we went through, I guess so." Avery giggled again.
"Hey, baka-yo." (idiot)
Rubbeus turned to the one who had insulted him, though in jest. Dais was grinning that annoying grin again. "Hey. Wasn't too smart to put yourself in harm's way for Avery."
Rubbeus smirked. "Are you saying you wouldn't have done the same for Bertie or Ben?"
"I said it was dumb. I didn't say it wasn't right."
Rubbeus nodded. "For what it's worth, thanks, by the way."
Dais smiled, not a mean one. And for one brief moment the two were friends. "Don't mention it. EVER."
Rubbeus knew that Dais meant it.
"You're moving back to Tokyo?"
Usagi nodded. "Yeah. Graviton's nice, but I think both the Ronins and the Senshi like it better in Tokyo. And all signs point to the Warlords moving back there."
"So we get to live in Mia's house again," Chibiusa piped up, smiling. Goku smiled.
"We're going back to our training. You never know when there's another battle ahead."
Usagi nodded. "True. I wish I could get the discipline to train every day."
"Oh, we'll help you along, Usagi," Rei said, grinning. Usagi shot a look at her. Jessy and James smiled as well.
"Well, we owe you all one. So the next time we run into you, we'll spare you the motto. How's that?" Jessy said. Makoto chuckled.
"If it's the best you can do, I suppose we'll take it."
Jessy and James grinned. "Well, we're off." In their classical comic style, the trio danced out the door. "Looks like Team Rocket's dancing off again…" they sang as they left.
"Hey, Chibiusa!!"
Chibiusa looked up and saw Gohan running towards her. She stood and smiled. "Hey, Gohan-san!"
Gohan stopped in front of her and smiled. "Hey. I had to say goodbye before I left. Wouldn't be polite not to."
Chibiusa smiled. "Nope, I guess not…"
"Oh! And my dad told me to give you this," he said, holding out a packet. Chibiusa opened it to reveal an orange jumper just her size. She looked at Gohan who blushed a little.
"My dad says that when you want to you can train with us anytime. He says you obviously have a lot of hidden power and he'll teach you how to use it." Chibiusa smiled and hugged the suit to her. As she clutched the jumper, a comic book fell out of one of the folds. Chibiusa picked it up and grinned.
"'Oh! My Goddess!' My favorite! How did your dad know?"
Gohan blushed harder. "Actually, that's from me."
Chibiusa grinned and hugged him. "Thank you, Gohan-chan."
Gohan blinked and smiled, and hugged her back. "You're welcome, Chibiusa-chan."
Chibiusa stepped back a moment and kissed Gohan on the cheek. Gohan was now completely red with embarrassment. He launched himself into the air and waved at her.
"Bye, Chibiusa-chan! Take care!"
"Ya ne Gohan-chan!" (Talk to you later)
C-ko burst into the room, elated. "Guess what you guys! Our parents said we could come with you to Tokyo! Isn't that swell?"
Touma grinned. "Perfect…"
A-ko sighed. "That's fine, C-ko. Just don't make lunch."
Kale rolled back over and sighed. "Katzie, what's wrong? You've never been this way towards me before…"
"Yes, but…Kale, I think there's something I've got to tell you."
Kale turned back over, now keenly interested. "Yes?"
"Well, I'm kinda…sorta…pregnant."
