"Never Lose"

By Pixie

Pixie: I can't believe it. We've gone so far, and I've fallen in love with this fic. And now, its all over. I don't have time to thank all the reviewers personally, though I'd like to. Katie, even though we hardly talk anymore, I just want to thank you especially, cause I hope you read this. I know you hate reviewing stories, so I'm very happy you reviewed mine. No matter how much it sucked, you always read my stories and told me how good they were, so thank you for that. You're my best friend forever.

Epilogue:

Pan's POV

I leaned back on the hospital bed, holding Baby Jeff close. His hair was dark brown and his eyes were black. I couldn't get over how beautiful he was. His tiny hands and feet, and eyes that struggled to stay open. Every time I looked into his face tears filled my eyes.

"He's going to have a hard time against his younger brother's and sister's. Considering that they're going to have a lot more Saiyan blood than him." Said a voice that I knew so well.

"Trunks!" I turned to face him; he was standing there, looking at Jeff. He grinned at me, then looked back at the baby.

"Yeah…all seven of his little brother's and sister's are going to be way stronger than him. We'll have to keep an eye on little…what's his name here."

"Jeff. His name is Jeff….Wait a sec! Seven brothers and sisters?!" Trunks nodded, looking casual, but I saw that glimpse of a smile in his eyes, "All right," I said, "But only if YOU give birth to them."

Trunks raised one eyebrow at me, and I stared back taunting him silently.

"It's going to look a bit bad on my reputation if I have seven kids before I'm even married," Trunks said in a mock serious voice, "So I guess you and I are going to have to get married."

"Is that a proposal?" I asked, "Cause if it is, I'm only going to accept if you get down on one knee."

Trunks shrugged and got down on one knee. "Pan, my love," he said, "will you marry me?"

Click! Celeste and Goten stood there with a camera behind him. Trunks turned and glared at them, but all they did was grin back.

"Well, Pan?" Celeste said, "when are you going to say yes?"

"Yes, Trunks, I'll marry you…but maybe we could only have five kids? I don't think I could handle seven…"

Trunks' POV

So in the end, I believe everything worked out ok. The scars are still there, and Baby Jeff is living proof of all the pain we have endured. His black eyes seem to hold all the pain everyone has felt. But…I think he's also a sign of hope. Showing that, even after everything, life begins again, right where it started. Jeff is our pain, our love, and everything we have felt. And so, I love him. Because he is Pan's. In a way I can't explain he is also mine. And Marron's, Goten's and Celeste's, and JP's. The scars in our soul serve as a reminder of what we have been through. And those we shall never lose.

*End *

Pixie: Thank you everyone, for the reviews, all you reviewers, you mean the world to me. So…for your entertainment, we've created several "alternate endings" to "Never Lose"…

Trunks: It would look bad on my reputation if I had seven kids before I was married. So, Pan, I would like to introduce you to my fiancee, Goten.

Trunks: …to my fiancee, Pixie.

Trunks: …to my fiancee, AMCM74.

Goku: YOU BASTERD!! She's MINE!!!

Trunks: So, Pan, my love, will you marry me?

Pan: I can't, I'm married to the Ox King.

Pan: I'm married to Master Roshi.

Pan: I'm married to Goten.

Pixie: Redneck Pan….

Trunks: I would marry you Pan, but I'm married to Marron.

Pan: She's DEAD!

Trunks: Yeah, ain't it a turn on?

And finally, a random bit written by my cousin and I.

Vegeta and Bulma lay back in bed.

"Woman, I have to ask you something. How come we never…well…switch roles?"

"You want to switch roles Vegeta?" Bulma asked looking over at him. Vegeta nodded. "Fine," Bulma said, "Tomorrow, you do the dishes, you cook, and you do the laundry, and I'll sit on my ass and drink a beer!"

"Not what I meant…"
