WOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......

The Time-Hopper slowed to a stop as it landed before the platform in The End of Time.

Marle jumped out first and landed gracefully on the platform. Then she strode over to the streetlamp as quickly as she could and yelled at the top of her lungs at Gaspar-- who was dozing peacefully at the time.

"HEY GASPAR!!!!!!!!!"

The old man awoke with a start. "Wha-- ?" He looked up at Marle. "Oh, it's just you." He closed his eyes and proceeded to go back to sleep.

"YOU JERK!" Marle bellowed. "You're totally going to pay for what you did to me last time!"

Gaspar opened his eyes. "And just what was that?"

"AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Marle let out a scream reminiscent of Vegeta's and lunged toward the old man. Trunks wisely reached out and held her back by her arm.

"Lemee at 'em, lemee at 'em, lemmee at 'em...," Marle grumbled as she tried to claw her way towards Gaspar.

Gaspar peered at Trunks. "Hey, it's you! The polite youth." He yawned and began to stretch. "Nice t' see ya again, very nice..."

"Yeah, you too," replied Trunks. "I'm just here to drop off my friends." He nodded at Crono, Marle, Lucca, and Dalton.

"Yeah," said Marle, who had calmed down by this time. "And now that we're here, we ought to get on our Epoch and go to 1000AD now." She looked at Dalton. "You're coming, I presume?"


Dalton shrugged. "Yeah, what the hell, why not."



"Then let's go!" said Marle. "Bye Trunks! You can take the Time-Hopper to your own time."

Lucca began to blush. "Actually..."

Everyone looked at her. "What?"

Lucca giggled nervously. "Heh heh heh. I kinda..." She looked at Trunks. "I kinda wanna go with Trunks instead."

"WHAT!?!?!"

"You... you wanna go with me?" Trunks asked incredulously, while turning very red.

"Yes," Lucca said. "Is that OK with the rest of you?"

"You can't go with him!" Marle yelled. "What are Crono and I supposed to do without a mechanical genius like you around?" Crono nodded rigorously to back Marle up.

"Aw, let her go," said Dalton.

Everyone stared at him. "HUH!?"

"What?" protested Dalton. "I may be a villain, but I understand true love."

"Gosh..." Lucca laughed. "YOU, of all people to back me up..."

"I think the decision should be up to Trunks," said Gaspar.

"I want her to go with me," Trunks confessed.

Lucca had never looked so happy in her life. "Really...!?"

"...Yeah."

"Oh, well," said Marle. "I guess we can't stop you..."

Crono shrugged sadly in agreement.

"I'll visit you guys every day," Lucca promised.

Crono brightened.

"We'd better get back to our time," said Dalton. He hopped into the Epoch. "You guys coming?

Trunks climbed out of the Time-Hopper. "Looks like we're here..."



"Then what are we waiting for!?" Lucca asked excitedly. "Let's go!"



They had landed in front of Capsule Corp. Trunks walked in, praying that he hadn't messed up on the time period and that the right Briefs family would be inside.



Sure enough, Vegeta appeared in front of him. He looked just the same as Trunks had always remembered him.



"Where have you been all day?" Vegeta demanded. "We need to tra..."



His voice trailed off as Trunks embraced him in a bone-breaking hug, weeping.



"DADDY! I missed you Daddy..."



Vegeta shoved him away. "Get your filthy hands off me! And don't call me DADDY!"



An expression of shock came over Vegeta's face when he saw Lucca.



"...And who the hell are YOU!?"



"She's my girlfriend," said Trunks.



Vegeta's jaw dropped. "A lowly human like HER!?"



"Hey, this 'lowly human' is a mechanical genius," Lucca replied huffily.



"That's great!" exclaimed Bulma, whom had just walked out of Capsule Corp. "I could use some more staff..."



"No way!" protested Vegeta. "You're not going to let her work here!"



"Shut up, Vegeta." Bulma shot her husband a Look. "I can do whatever I want."



"Yeah," said Trunks. "And you had better not be rude to Lucca, Daddy-- er, Dad."



"Hmph," replied Vegeta. "I bet that girlfriend of yours is poisoning your mind already."



"Not true," said Lucca. "In actuality, juvenile influences rarely generate from the thoughts and actions of other said juveniles, as there are matters that exist far beyond that of..."





Lucca kept speaking in 'nerd' until an exasperated Vegeta finally stomped back inside the building.



"It's settled!" said Bulma. "If you can get rid of Vegeta that quickly, then I'm DEFINITELY hiring you!"



Lucca beamed.



"C'mon," said Trunks, nudging Lucca gently. "Let's go inside so Mom can show you the ropes..."



Trunks, Lucca, and Bulma all walked back into Capsule Corp.



(Happy music plays in the background. Esper Terra walks out holding a giant 'FIN~' sign.)



Esper Terra: And they lived happily ever after!



MEANWHLE, WE SEE THE REST OF THE GANG...



"This isn't 1000AD," Marle grumbled, looking around at the ominous blackness.



"OH NO!" Dalton began to cry. "THIS IS THE PLACE THAT I JUST LEFT! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-- "



Crono smacked him. Dalton promptly passed out.



"Where's Lucca when you need her!?" Marle demanded angrily.





THE END (really)
