On the lookout in the sky, high above earth, the Z fighters and their
families mourn for the loss of two cherished friends. Inside one of the
many rooms of the sanctuary two young boys slept side by side. Trunks,
sleeping away the pain from a single blow to the head; Goten, recovering
from a punch in the stomach. The two were blissfully unaware that a family
member had died. Protecting them. Trunks his light purple hair tasseled was
breathing deeply as he sleep with one arm strewn over Goten's, who was
making as much noise as the commotion outside.
In the courtyard down the hall from the boy's room could be heard the
crying of Videl, who had just been informed of her boyfriends death, and
Marron, who was too young understand why everyone was so sad. The Ox King
had been trying to wake Chi Chi up since she fainted ten minutes. No on was
any happier since Piccolo, Dende, and Corren had taken Bulma and Goku away
to a room in the building to give the details of the deaths to them.

".And that's what happened to Vegeta," Piccolo solemnly spoke to his
shocked and saddened audience.
" So your telling me that he sacrificed himself for nothing," Bulma
angrily asked.
" Yes"
Bulma sat down in a chair in the corner putting her hands to her
head. She looked up when she felt a hand two strong hands on her shoulders.
Goku was smiling down at her, his silly child like grin replaced with one
that was only trying to comfort. " I don't understand!!" she shouted "You
say that you can't feel Gohan's Ki so he might be alive. You're pretty much
just preparing us for the worst, aren't you? I mean Vegeta could very well
be alive and you're just giving up hope on both of them!!" At the end of
the outburst she was screaming and crying at the same time. Goku knelt down
next to her and held up her chin to look into her eyes. " Bulma," Goku
softly reassured, "You know that that's not true. Now Gohan.I guess that
you could be right. We haven't looked for him. But Bulma, Vegeta is gone.
You heard Piccolo he was there. He died a very noble death. You should be
proud of him."
" Pride," she said looking back to the ground. She smirked so
suddenly that everyone was surprised by her change of attitude. " It was
all about pride, wasn't it? He's.he was obsessed with his pride. Everything
was about his pride. That's the only reason you and he were rivals was
because you constantly helping him 'took away his pride'. That is the
stupidest thing to be mad about."
".But yes.I'm proud of him." Bulma finished and looked back at Goku.
Everyone knew the pain that she must be feeling. It was her husband after
all.
" Vegeta was a good man," Piccolo spoke into the silence, "I remember
the time that he came here. It's hard to believe that it was only about ten
years ago that the murderous sayain that we all once knew is was him then."
" Yeah," Goku agreed, "he was so different then. I mean he's grown so
much to be what he.was. There is one thing that has helped him get through
all of this and that's you Bulma." She looked up at him with visible thanks
in her eyes. It was true and she knew it. Before Vegeta had come to live
with her at C.C. he had been a selfish egotist with a thirst for battle and
death. She had changed him for the better and she knew that every morning
when he came to bed with her after his training.
" What about now?" she asked Goku trying to forget the subject that
they were on. " What's going to happen that you're two warriors short and
the only weapon that you have against the new powerful enemy are two
children?"
" We'll make due with the only weapon on hand." Everyone was looking
at him now. Thinking of the question asked. Trunks and Goten were the only
fighting chance that they had now. It would be a struggle but somehow they
would survive. They had to survive.

be shy, tell me. I'll do another soon hopefully. (
