Take Flight on Angel's Wings Chapter 6: Flying on Angel's Wings
"Chi-Chi, we're home," Goku said as he and Vegeta walked in the door a few hours later.
"Oh, Goku," Chi-Chi said running up to Goku and hugging him, "He's gone, Goku. Goten's gone," She said sobbing.
"I know, Chi-Chi. I know, I'm very sad too," he said hugging her tight, "But remember he's with Gohan. He's not alone."
"Yes, I know," Chi-Chi said.
"We need to bury him, Chi-Chi," Vegeta said as he stood by Bulma and Trunks.
"Yeah, I know," she replied still crying.
"I know Chi-Chi let's do it on the hill next to Gohan," Goku said.
"Ok, well let's go I want to get this over with," Vegeta replied.
"Goku, he's in his room on his bed covered in a blanket," Chi-Chi said crying.
"Ok, I got ya. I'll get him, Chi-Chi," Goku replied letting go of Chi-Chi and leaving to get Goten.
"Come on Chi-Chi, let's go," Bulma said leading Chi-Chi out to the gravesite. None of them wanted to do this but they knew they had to. For everyone's sake they wanted to do it as soon as possible to get it over with.
"Goten, I'm so sorry I couldn't help you. I hope you can forgive me," Goku said picking up the blanket that contained the lifeless body. "Huh? Goten? Gohan? I … I hear you." Goku said as he heard strange but familiar noises fill the room. "Your laughing, you're together and happy. You don't know how happy that makes me. Goodbye my boys. I'll see you again someday wait for me, ok?" Goku said, "Ok, ready let's go, Son" he said and walked out to the grave Vegeta had made.
"Goodbye, Goten. I love you, Honey," Chi-Chi said crying as Goku gently laid Goten in the cold, small hole.
"Goodbye, Goten. I'll miss you," Bulma said tears flowing down her face.
"I'll see ya later Goten. Don't you forget about me, ok?" Trunks said as Goten was put into the grave. After Goku had laid Goten in the grave he reached down and put the stuffed dog next to the little boy's lifeless form.
"Goodbye, Kid. I was never very nice to you and I'm sorry for that. I hope you can forgive me and have nothing but peaceful days," Vegeta thought to himself. "Well that's that," Vegeta said pretending like this was no big deal, "I think it would be best if we went home now."
"Yeah, I need some time to think," Chi-Chi replied, " I'll call you guys later."
"Ok, bye," Bulma said sadly as the Brief family began to walk back to their car which was by Goku's house.
"Bye, Chi-Chi, bye Goku."
"Bye, Trunks, See ya later, Trunks," Goku and Chi-Chi said.
"Huh?" Trunks asked as he looked over at the tree Goten had died under. Hey, you!" Trunks called across the field to a boy that was sitting under Goten's tree playing with the toy truck, "Hey someone is sitting there! Don't sit there! My best friend is sitting there!"
"Huh?" the boy looked at him like he was nuts but got up and left. Once the boy left Goten's tree Trunks smiled and ran after Bulma and Vegeta.
"He's a good kid," Goku said to Chi-Chi as they watched him leave.
"Yeah, he is. He liked Goten a lot. I bet he thought of Goten as his own little brother. Don't you think so Goku?" Chi-Chi asked looking up at Goku.
"Yeah, I think he did. Well, we should go. We have a lot to do," Goku replied and they both walked back to the house. "Bye, guys," Goku said as he looked back at his children's graves, "I'll talk to you later tonight, ok?"
"Hurry up, Goku! What's wrong? Why are you walking so slow?" Chi-Chi hollered.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Goku replied and hurried after her.
"Ok, we have lots to do, Goku things are different now!" Chi-Chi hollered her voice a little slurred because she was still crying but she was trying to act like everything was fine.
"Yeah, they are," Goku said as they entered the house.
"Hi, guys. sorry I got here so late. I was helping Chi-Chi with some things," Goku said as he sat down under Goten's tree, "Well, Goten it's your first night in Other World. I hope everyone is treating you ok," Goku said staring up at the stars from under the tree, "I miss you two already. I hope you're having fun up there. Well, I better go make sure Chi-Chi is ok. See ya later," he said and left to go inside. He would have stayed longer but he knew Chi-Chi was still upset and would want someone there to comfort her.
"Bye, Dad," Gohan said he could hear his father's voice all the way in Other World. "Well, Goten," he said quietly to himself as he watched his little brother, "You told me you never learned how to fly on Earth and you really wanted too. Well now you finally do. You took flight, you took flight on angel's wings," he said watching Goten flap his snowy white angel wings laughing happily.
"Hey Gohan come on! Let's go play!" Goten waved happily as he flew around the purple colored sky and yellow clouds.
"Alright," Gohan replied with a smile and took off after him.
