Damn it! I don't own DBZ!

Shoot…I said it.

Anyway, enjoy the last chapter! It's a happy go lucky sort of thing, I think. Thank you for all the reviews!

Apologies to Blue Demon160. I'm so sorry I made you cry! I promise the ending is happy…and thanks for coming back! I didn't think anyone would actually come back to read this.

Oh, and this might be short. There's not much more to say…

Chapter 10: A Year Later

   Goten slowly walked into the kitchen. The smell of food had no effect on him. Ever since that one day a year ago, he had been depressed. Nothing exciting ever happened without him around. No mischief to cause, no one to really spar with, no nothing. Goten sighed and slipped into a chair at the table.

   "Hey there Goten." Goku smiled at his son.

   "How are you always so happy dad, especially today?" Goten looked at his father with sad eyes.

   "I don't let things get to me. You shouldn't be so sad all the time. It's bad to your health."

   "But dad, today's the day that—"

   "Trunks died." Goku finished, still smiling. "I've been meaning to talk to you about that. Come on, Bulma and Vegeta are expecting us at Capsule Corp."

   "I don't feel like going anywhere today." Goten stood up and started to walk away.

   "I think you'll really want to see this. Besides, you haven't seen them since the fight on Yardrat. You can meet their daughter." Goten's ears perked up.

   "A…a daughter? When did they have another kid?" A small smiled formed on Goten's lips.

   "She's only a few months old. Come on, it'll be fun. I haven't seen her myself yet."

   "Fine" Goten crossed his arms, his smile turning into a smirk.

   "You remind me of Trunks sometimes, Goten. You used to spend so much time around him." Goku walked out.

   "I know. He was like a brother to me." Goten replied, following Goku out the door. They then took to the air.

~*~

   Goten and Goku quickly arrived at Capsule Corp. Bulma and Vegeta were waiting for them outside. Bulma had a huge smiled on her face, and Vegeta stood in his usual manor, with his arms crossed.

    "Thank goodness you're here Goku! I thought you weren't coming!" Bulma exclaimed, running up to Goku and Goten.

   "What took you so long, baka?" Vegeta growled at Goku, remaining where he was.

   "Sorry Vegeta. It took Goten some convincing to come over here."

   Bulma had a confused look on her face. "What? Didn't you explain to him what was going on?"

   Goku smiled and put his hand behind his head. "I guess I forgot." Everyone fell anime style.

   "You amaze me sometimes Goku. I can't believe you forgot to tell him."

   "Tell me what? Dad…" Goten turned to Goku and narrowed his eyes.

   "Well…it goes like this…"

   Before Goku could say anything, Gohan, Videl, and Pan showed up.

   "Hi uncle Goten! Hi Grandpa!" Pan ran up to Goten and Goku.

   "Hi Pan!" Goku put a huge smile on his face and put his hand on her head.

   "Hi Goten. Are you excited?" Gohan smirked at Goten.

   "Excited for what?"

   Gohan looked at Bulma. "Didn't you guys tell him?"

   Bulma crossed her arms and eyes Goku. "A certain someone forgot to tell him."

   Before anyone continued, Videl ran over to Bulma.

   "Oh…my…god, Bulma. Is that the new baby?" Videl looked at the baby Bulma was holding.

   "Yup!" Bulma smiled.

   "She's so CUTE!" Videl squealed. " Can I hold her?" Videl smiled.

   Bulma look over at Gohan, who was vigorously shaking his head side to side. Bulma smiled, and did the opposite.

   "Of course." Bulma handed her daughter over to Videl and stuck her tongue out at Gohan. He slapped himself in the forehead.

   "She looks just like you Bulma! What's her name?"

   Bulma turned back towards Videl. "You think she does? Her name's Bra."

   "Cool!" Videl turned to Gohan, with a sparkle in her eye. "Gohan, can we have another baby? I want another daughter…or a son this time! Then you can train him to fight, and be brave to protect us, and Pan can become smart!"

   Gohan looked startled. "We'll talk about that later Videl. Just…just give her back to Bulma, okay?"

   Videl put a sad look on her face. "But Gohan…"

   "Give her back"

   Videl handed Bra back to Bulma. "bye-bye Bra."

    Bulma turned to walk into the house. "I'll be right back to get what we're all really here for." Bulma was gone for a second, and came back with a long, skinny black case. She opened it so you couldn't see in, and took the object in his out and put them on the ground. They were all glowing.

   Goten grinned. "Wow! Dragonballs! Are we going to do what I think we're going to do?"

   Goku looked at the now happy Goten. "You got it"

   "Why didn't you tell me! When did you get all seven dragonballs?"

   Gohan walked up to him. "We did it while you weren't around. We all worked together to get them and decided to surprise you. Even Vegeta helped." Gohan and Goten looked over at Vegeta. He paid no attention to them.

   "Well, there's only one thing to do" Bulma said, smiling. "Let's summon that dragon!"

   Goku walked over to the dragonballs. "Okay…here we go…" He stared at them and started his rant. "

   "We summon the eternal dragon! Come out!" (a/n: I made that up. I don't remember what they really say…but I really don't care and probably would have made something up anyway…hey! I rhymed...say, way…hee hee!)

   The sky turned black, and the dragonballs shone especially bright, and all sorts of crazy stuff happened! The dragon shot up from the dragonballs into the sky. Videl and Pan were especially amazed, since it was their first time seeing it.

   "S…so it's true. The legend is real" Fear could be clearly heard in her voice.

   "Don't worry Videl. He won't hurt you or anything" Gohan crossed his arms in Vegeta-fashion.

   "I am the Shenlong, the eternal dragon. What is your wish" Shenlong said in its deep voice. There was a short pause.

   "Oh, it's you Goku. What is it you need this time? Someone die again?"

   Goku put a confused look on his face. "Wow…you can say something more than 'what is your wish' amazing!"

   "Of course I can! Now hurry up!" The dragon's voice shook the ground.

   "Oh…yeah. We wish for Trunks to be brought back!"

   "It has been granted." Shenlong's eyes glowed red. "What is your second wish?"

   "To bring Trunks here!" Goku smiled.

   "It has been granted." At that moment Trunks showed up. "My work is done. So long until next year Goku" The Dragonballs shot into seven different directions.

   "Hey guys" Trunks said, dazed. "Am I alive?" He looked around.

   "Trunks!" Bulma ran over to Trunks, hugging him with one arm and clutching to the baby in the other. "I'm so happy you're home! I missed you so much!" Trunks looked over Bulma's shoulder.

   "Hey dad. Hope you didn't miss me too much." Trunks smiled, knowing his father's reaction. Vegeta knew his own reaction too, so he did the opposite, just to get a reaction. "Of course I did, son." Vegeta then smiled. Not a smirk, but a genuine smiled. Trunks looked surprised at first, and then smiled. Bulma then pulled away from Trunks, because Goten was next to her. Trunks then noticed the baby Bulma was holding.

   "Whoa, mom. What's up with the kid?"

   Bulma beamed. "Meet your new baby sister, Trunks. Her name is Bra. Want to hold her?" Bulma held Bra out to Trunks.

   "N…no. I'll break her or something." Trunks held his hands up.

   "Come on. Nothing will happen." Bulma again held Bra out to him. Reluctantly, he took his baby sister out of his mother's arm. Bra smiled at Trunks. She was his sister, his. Right then and there, he knew how much of a pain she was going to be when she got older, but he would be there to protect her through anything. Trunks moved a strand of blue hair from Bra's face and kissed her forehead. His baby sister. No one's but his.  (a/n: okay…sweet section over)

   "Hey Trunks! Welcome back!" Goten turned to his best friend. Trunks gave Bra back to Bulma, and turned to Goten.

   "Man, it feels good to be back." Trunks stretched out his arms. "What do you want to do on my first day back from the dead?"

   "I don't know…want to go into the city?" Goten asked Trunks.

   "Sure! I know these two hot girls we can call! They'll be totally impressed by the fact that I died and came back from the dead! We'll hit the city tonight with them!"

   "Al right! Let's go call them now!" Trunks and Goten ran into the house. Within second, a ki blast went through the roof and shouting could be heard.

    "Trunks! Come on! Why'd you say that about me? Now you're going to ruin my chances."

   Trunks flew out of the hole in the roof. "I'm sorry man! It kinda slipped out!"

   "Get back here Trunks Briefs! I'm going to beat you into a bloody pulp!" Goten also flew out of the roof after Trunks. They started to throw punches at each other.

   "Trunks Brief! What have a said about blowing holes into the roof and walls of the house?"

   They both stopped and looked at each other.

   "Uh oh Goten. Looks like we've gotten mom mad within ten minutes of me being back. Let's get out of here!"

   "Okay!" Trunks and Goten flew off towards the city to find what damage they could do there.

   "Those two…they never grow up. Well, they're their fathers' sons." Bulma whispered, turning to Gohan and Goku. A tear rolled down her cheek. "Thank you guys. You're the best. Looks like everything's back to normal."

   "Yeah, it is. It's great to see Trunks back, and to see Goten so happy. He's been depressed for the last year. He blamed Trunks death on himself. He said he wasn't there for his best friend, so he said it was his fault. Kids can be so rough on themselves." Goku said, smiling.

   "I know."

   "Well, I'm going to head out. Tell Goten to give a holler if he's staying the night, okay?"

   "Fine"

   "Al right. Bye Bulma!" Goku waved and flew off.

   "We should be going too. It's about time to get Pan down for a nap anyway." Gohan moved towards Bulma and gave her a hug. "I know Goten's going to be staying the night. Good luck with a Saya-Jin and two hyped-up demi Saya-Jins on your hands."

   "Ya know Gohan…I kind of missed it."

   "Really?"

   "Yeah. It was a challenge."

   Gohan laughed. "Well, you're always one to take on challenges. Bye Bulma!"

   "Bye Gohan! Don't be a stranger around here, okay?"

   "Okay! Bye!" Gohan, Videl, and Pan got into their car, and left. The only two people left were Bulma, Bra, and Vegeta. Bulma walked toward Vegeta.

   "Trunks is back. Aren't you happy?"

   Vegeta stayed silent.

   "I know you are. I'm going to start dinner. I'll know where to find you when it's ready." Bulma walked into the house, taking Bra with her. Vegeta was left alone. He head towards the Gravity Room.

He stopped before opening the door, and looked at the sky.

   "I'm proud of you Trunks." He whispered. Vegeta opened the door, and walked in. The yard was now empty. Everything was back to normal. Everyone was…happy.
