Epilogue

18 sat on the beach gazing out on the ocean as she mused about life.

Her brother and Ava had returned to their life without any major problems. Sasoli had suffered no prolonged effects from being kidnapped while Zarah was just upset on being left out of the fun. 17 was rubbing off on him a bit too much for 18's liking.

The Briefs continued on almost like nothing had happened though, Bulma called her shocked, Vegeta was being more patient with her mom.

18 smiled, she would pay to see that particular event.

Trunks was apparently taking in interest in machines since he discovered Bra had been allowed in Bulma's private lab. Not to be outdone, Trunks devoted as much time studying as training with his father. Bra ignored her brother, according to Bulma, and began her training under her father's strict tutelage. Otherwise, all was well in the Vegeta house, except they had a frequent visitor from the Son house.

18 snorted to herself softly, the last saiyan scientist.

It only made sense that Bardock would gravitate to Capsule Corp. Not only was Bulma and her dad the smartest humans on the planet but his prince was there as well.

Now there was an interesting relationship! Though, Bardock was obviously Goku's father, at times it seemed that the older saiyan was more suited for the surly saiyan prince, if only in temperament. Goku could be a bit much if you weren't used to him and Bardock wasn't exactly a doting type of person.

It wasn't that Bardock preferred Vegeta to his son . . . Bardock just couldn't quite grasp his son's point of view, he had been a saiyan warrior too long to change now. He visited Vegeta either on his way to experiment with Bulma or just to be with someone who remembered planet Vegeta the way he did.

It became very clear that Bardock was going to teach saiyan tradition to his grandsons so it wouldn't die out.

So life at the Son house was relatively peaceful when the men weren't sparring.

In fact, everyone was amazed at how well Chichi and Bardock got along. When asked she would merely smile and say, "Goku's father is a saiyan version of a gentleman."

18 pushed herself to her feet, as for her family . . . they couldn't be happier.

All in all, everything was peaceful. The only danger 18 could see in the future was when their kids became hormonal and rebellious but that was a ways off.

With a sigh she turned and nearly screamed as her arms were grabbed.

"I've found you!"

18 frowned at the vaguely familiar alien when she realized who he was.

"Prol, what are you doing here?"

The grotesque alien grinned at her, "So you remember me do you. You are a liar, you said you were a Toran not a earthling. Did you lie about having a partner too?"

"No."

18 eyed him coldly, she was just trying to decided how she was going to kill him.

"18?"

18 and Prol turned to find Krillin standing in front of the Kame house frowning.

"Krillin, this isn't what it looks like. I met this alien in space and he thought I had lied about being taken," 18 explained, as she calmly pulled out of the aliens weak grasp.

"This is your partner?!" Prol demanded outraged, how could a short guy like that get a girl like her!

18 ignored him as she concentrated on her little man.

"Krillin, you do believe me right? He means nothing to me."

Krillin sighed, "So, he's just obsessed with you, is that it?"

18 nodded and kissed his cheek, "Yes, though I am not sure why."

"I will kill you and then she will be mine." The alien charged them.

Krillin stepped in front of his wife with a determined look on his face and raised his right hand.

"Destructo Disk!"

"Ha! You think that this puny atta--"

The rest of the alien's words were lost forever as Krillin's disk cut him in half.

"Krillin," 18 was shocked, she had never seen him like this before.

"Hey, no one messes with my woman," Krillin huffed, "It took me long enough to find you."

18 softened and she smiled at her husband as she blasted Prol's remains into oblivion.

"Why aren't you sweet."

Krillin blushed, "Well, it's true!"

18 chuckled as she ran a hand through her husband's hair, "For me too."

The End

AN: I just want to thank everyone for hanging in there with me. You guys are awesome and I really appreciate everyone of your reviews. Thank you so much for reading my story.

I have already started on another story which is set eighteen years later after this time, if anyone is interested. This one will be called A Warrior's Path, and it is going to star Zarah. He wasn't in this story too much and so I feel the need to give him his own. As always I'll put up the first chapter on Sunday.

Thanks again, Michelle
