I wonder if the stars shine
the life that is to be mine
and would they let their light shine
enough for me to follow

I look up to the heavens
but night has clouded over
no spark of constellation
no Vela no Orion

Epilogue


"They made a statue for the old king and Sakura. It's very big and if you look outside of the windows you can see it. On a plaque is written: Parted from me, but never parted. Never and always touching, we touch. Both meaning about us, the sisters being twins, and the king and my sister. They really loved each other. Fate decided otherwise."
The greying woman sighed deep. Beside her, her king sat. Smiling ruefully. The six before them sighing with her.

An adult woman, adult man, 2 twin couples.
"You never told mother." The male muttered soar. The female nodded sadly.

"That's..." Diana glanced dreamy up. "Because I still miss her. Each day. That's the trouble with twins. If one half is killed...the other just feels incomplete ever after." The two couples nudged the other warning as four voices growled at the other not to dare get killed before the other. Diana laughed. Silly kids. One of the chibi girls looking like Diana rose, walked whistling away with swaying hips. Paused. Huh?

Diana gasped. How... her twin brother rose and darted after her regal and shoved her over snickering. She shoved back. They started shoving the other. Then suddenly started singing arm in arm.

Ever felt away with me
Just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day

Ever felt away without me
My love, it lies so deep
Ever dream of me

Vegeta and Diana gasped together and eyed the other with wide open eyes. NO WAY. In came the older Zorn and eyed the singing princeling couple as they left. Shaking his head.

"I think I'm seeing things..." he muttered. "I'm getting old."

"Father. I will not sing like that, or take your throne." Prince Vegeta informed coyly. Herding the remaining twins out. He had taken his sister as his wife. Big deal. Was used before. There just weren't many candidates. Both had twice twins.

"I will be in the training room dad." the king popped a vein.
"WHAT! COME BACK BOY! WHAT DID YOU CALL ME? YOU'LL TAKE THAT BLASTED THRONE, BETTER YET, YOU'LL RULE WITH ME FROM NOW ON! THRONE DUTY IT IS RUNT! BRAT! DAMNED INGRATE!"

Diana snickered. Disturbing as it might have looked. She'd have to keep an eye on those twins. Vegeta and Sakura...hmm...same names...same actions...weird. And her beloved mate acting like his hated yet loved old father.

"Oh Vegeta, let him enjoy his free time." she mused. Calming the king down. "No ice-jin's around." She concluded. Gruff he nodded.
"Yet your spoiling him. All he does is train and train!" She rose with her old body and laughed.
"Sounds familiar doesn't it?"
"Are you insulting me?" he stated stunned yet boyish. "Your still blaming me? 30 years after? I mean, I forgot, you were in bed, and simply forgot! So you were seen in your under ware...err...flimsy nighty...thing...lingery...SO...I better shut up now." he muttered soar. Only got worse and worse.

A chibi strolled back. Little Sakura with Vegeta tagging along as usual.

"Granny?" the 8 year old asked.
"Yes?"
"Was your sister like me?"

"A bit."
"Cause I feel funny when I see the statue." She admitted smiling silly. Sakura silly...
"Explain?" curious the king followed the conversation.

"Dunno...just do."
"That's no answer." little Vegeta teased.
"Will you Shuddup Vegeta! You said you felt the same! ASS."
"Bitch."
"RUNT."
"Banshee."

"CHILDREN." The king boomed. They hushed. "Answer your grandmother. BOTH."
"Well we were there with class..." Vegeta whined.
"And I felt like I saw it before." Sakura whined with him.
"Yeah! Like this." Sakura pranced to the centre of the throne room. Smiled, waved, seemed to shove someone and dropped like a rock. Vegeta sped over. Started loading and stamped to the dais. Did a flying roundhouse and dropped like a rock against a wall. Both hopped up confused.

"SEE?" Both cried.
"And I have weird songs in my head." Sakura complained. Curious the twins eyed the royal couple who were plain, speechless. "So Granny, you told a story I already knew the ending of, no fun." Sakura sulked.

"Sorry about that..." Diana stammered confused. "But it seems...you...have the knowledge of my long dead sister." Vegeta jumped Sakura and sat on her neck.
"AND MEEE???" he asked eager.
"Taking into account your behaviour and ego...I'd say my father." both kids eewed.

"WOA LONG DEAD PEOPLE!!!" Both wailed. Then shrugged it off and started nagging guards. Arm in arm they left.

"Always look at the bright side of life!"
They paused, before starting over.
"Always look at the bright side of death..."
(fade out)

To leave the tread of all time
and let it make a dark line
in hopes that I can still find
the way back to the moment

I took the turn and turned to
begin a new beginning
still looking for the answer
I cannot find the finish

It's either this or that way
it's one way or the other
it should be one direction
it could be one reflection

the turn I have just taken
the turn that I was making
I might be just beginning
I might be near the end...
