Chapter 21: Epilogue

The next few years were busy and exciting, Aiden guarding Relena's personal body and Relena advancing well in her political purposes. Those years were formed with love and patience. And Aiden found plenty of time to visit his family, sending a good portion of his paycheck back to help with the bills and making sure that they were together every major holiday. Kia grew into a beautiful and talented young lady, and Yamashi, in good form with his attraction to sandy-blondes, fell in love with a pretty air shuttle pilot he met at a teddy bear convention. And when Kia finally moved out into her new job designing defensive body armor and other protective weaponry, Aiden's parents moved down closer to their eldest son, on earth, in a nice white house with a pretty picket fence and sunny yellow shutters. And some days, as the middle class gentlemen drove by on their way home from work, a tall man of middling years could be seen bent next to a grey head over a flower garden, pulling weeds and speaking tenderly to the woman beside him as a younger woman lounged on the front step watching them, smiling to herself and drinking the lemonade her father-in-law had made.

And they all lived very long and very happily.
