One more time for this one folks, some people to thank for reviewing:
animeprincess1452 –Well, I am glad you liked the ending and I am also sorry that the beginning was bad with Goten going all crazy and stuff. But in the end they are together and that is really all that matters.
BlueAzul13 –Oh yeah, I try to make it cute whenever I can and so that is what I did. And it's good that they are together but it's a bit sad that all the nice people died. And here is the next chapter!
GOTEN2003UK –Of course I think everyone is glad that Vegeta is dead, SOB or not he got in the way of everything. Yes, you can still call them 'Chibis' if you want and I hope this ending is good for you.
Rika/Phoenix –'Tis okay, I really didn't need too many suggestions and I found stuff to put in there out of my own twisted head. If you thought that ending was sweet, wait until you read this one! !!!
Candy the Duck –It was a shame that Goku had to die, but that is just the way things worked, after all, I did base some parts off of The Lion King, which is one of the best movies of all time and everyone should watch it again.
Epilogue: Forever and For Always
The last remnants of the sunset faded and the first stars twinkled in the sky over Earth. The lights in the streets blinked to life, triggered by their attached photoreceptors, and activity in the cities slowed. A few people wandered around underneath the light of the full moon, but most others were already at home, preparing for the celebrations that would start taking place in about 24 hours.
While off in the mountains, on the edge of a clear, blue lake, far away from any noise and commotion that urban life came with, a small house stood alone. The soft sounds of the forest animals were the only thing that dared disturb the peace in the serene area and calm reigned over all. Inside, a blaze crackled in the fireplace and reflected in the black eyes of a young Saiya-jin boy as he turned the logs over with his limited control of telekinesis. Satisfied with the arrangement, he sat up and walked over to the couch and sat down next to his father, who pulled him close. "Don't you think you should be getting to bed soon, Truten?" said Goten softly. The boy yawned and wrapped his tail around Goten's leg, "Nah," he said, "I wanna wait for 'Tousan so I can tell him good night." Goten smiled and ran his hand down his son's back, saying: "Okay then, but why don't you go brush your teeth before he gets here?" Agreeing quickly, the boy jumped off the couch and half-ran to the bathroom, leaving Goten alone with his thoughts.
He always wondered how and why things went the way they did sometimes; almost as if Fate really did have everything planned out in the end.
It hadn't taken long after they were reunited when Trunks and Goten had decided to try and set things right. A simple wish to Porunga on New Namek had restored the Earth and all its inhabitants killed so long ago, and they had both decided to use their second wish to wipe the memory of the Saiya-jin from the humans' minds. That left them living their entire lives alone and after that second wish, not even their own mothers would know who they were. It had been a hard decision, but both of them had decided it was the best option given the circumstances. But the one thing they hadn't both come to a consensus about right away had been Truten...
It was so ironic how it happened that it still made Goten smile when he thought of it. Thinking that the old adage 'live and let live' would prove destructive in the case of New Vegeta-sei, the two boys had decided to get rid of it. Unfortunately their wishes had already been made and it would be a long time before they could make another one; that might prove too long. Goten hadn't been happy about the whole idea in the first place; destroying the entire planet and all the Saiya-jin on it seemed like nothing but mass-murder, but Trunks held firm. "It wasn't supposed to be," Trunks had said. "But what about all the children?" Goten had countered. Trunks had gone on to explain to Goten that all full Saiya-jin were born to kill and destroy and nothing, nothing would ever change that. So, with a heavy heart, full of guilt, the boys destroyed planet Vegeta-sei and all on it were vaporized, erasing all remnants of the once-mighty warrior race save for the two of them. But something had happened that they would never quite understand themselves and it changed their lives, ultimately for the better. A split second before the explosion, a single spacepod shot off the planet, headed for an unknown destination, having taken off at the perfect moment. Trunks spotted the craft as it streaked past and, taking chase in their own spacecraft, they had caught up to it and reeled it into the cargo bay with intention to kill whoever was inside. When the pod's door opened, they were greeted, not by a raging Saiya-jin killer, but a newborn baby boy, crying and with tail dancing like mad. It wasn't easy, but Goten had finally convinced his lover that killing the boy was not an option and they had taken him back to Earth.
That was over five years ago, and since then, that baby had grown into a healthy and happy little boy with spiky hair and onyx eyes and a tail. Trunks had to admit that he had been wrong; their adopted son, affectionately named Truten, had broken the typical mold by being the only full Saiya-jin besides Goku to ever have a pure heart. Except he hadn't hit his head...Trunks and Goten made sure to keep him out of danger at all times. It had been a very enjoyable last few years, and for sure there would be many such years to come, living together with their son and just having fun all the time. What more could any person ask for but a home and a family and a wonderful life?
Goten suddenly flinched when he felt something brushing his leg and was jarred out of his musings. He looked down to a pair of sad, puppy-dog eyes, literally. He allowed the small dog to lick his hand for a few moments before directing her to the bed in the corner with a push and a soft: 'Sarah'. The miniature Dachshund let out a whine, but then walked to her bed and snuggled in between the blankets and quietly went to sleep. Goten looked back at the fire for a moment, wondering when Trunks would get back home, when he heard the front door opening.
He was at the door in a flash to greet his lilac-haired angel, and captured a short kiss before he could even set down his stuff. "I missed you Trunks-kun," Goten whined. "Where you been for so long?" Trunks kissed gently at Goten's neck, "Oh, just picking up some last-minute supplies for the feast tomorrow," he said in an offhand way. Goten smiled and said: "Oh, I didn't know we were having a feast." Trunks' smile grew and he reached around to hold Goten, saying: "Anything for Chibi." They gathered up the stuff and put it away and were just finishing when Truten came into the kitchen. "Hi 'Tousan," he said, running up to jump into Trunks' arms in excitement. "Hi," Trunks said, squeezing his son tight, "how you been?" Truten launched into a rapid-fire bunch of misconnected sentences describing what he had been doing in the last few hours and Trunks listened intently while Goten watched on, smiling.
A few minutes later, Truten lie in bed, listening as Trunks read a story to him before he went to sleep. "And then," Trunks continued, "the two Kings settled down to raise their own family and lived on in peace and happiness for the rest of their lives. The End." Truten smiled broadly and reached up to kiss Goten and then Trunks as they said their goodnights and he went to sleep. Trunks set the old, faded copy of 'Beauty and The Beast' down on the bookshelf and walked out as Goten turned off the light. They were barely out into the hallway when Goten spoke up: "You made that whole story up; didn't you?" Trunks looked innocent and said: "You mean that story about the two friends who grew up together and were separated by the evil King and then found each other and lived happily-ever-after with their son? Yeah, I made it up..." Goten elbowed Trunks playfully in the ribs and grinned. "I am so sure, that kind of stuff only happens in Fairy Tales!" Trunks leaned over and caught him in an embrace, speaking softly, "Don't I know." He pulled Goten into the kitchen and reached into a plastic bag, bringing out a 20-pack of bottle rockets and smirking. Goten sighed and said: "Trunks-kun, New Years Eve isn't until tomorrow!" Trunks didn't let him argue and instead just dragged him out into the backyard, "Yeah," he said, "but it's been so long since I played with these things."
They went outside, feeling the chill of the wet grass on their bare feet and held hands as they shot a few rockets up into the sky. As another one shot up into the air and went off with a small bang, Goten broke the silence. "I took Truten to the park today," he said, to which Trunks gave him a strange look. "Would you believe it, he went for a swim in the pool and there was another boy, about a year older than him there, too. They were playing around and having fun in no time. Friends that fast, it was like looking in a time portal." Trunks laughed, "Heh, heh. I hope you didn't let them sneak into a bathroom while you weren't looking, Chibi," he said, giving a wink. "Nah," Goten said, "I am pretty sure that they are just friends." Trunks let the last rocket go and smiled, saying: "That's a relief, ne? Well, I think we should go to bed ourselves." Goten reached an arm around Trunks' middle, "I like that idea," he said, leading Trunks back into the house.
Goten threw Trunks onto the bed, already breathing hard and he took control. Trunks offered no resistance, submitting himself completely as Goten pinned down his arms and kissed him deeply. He opened his lips and Goten fell on top of him, letting go of Trunks' wrists to run them over his chest as he pushed his tongue into his lover's mouth. The kiss ended with both gasping for breath and they tore off their clothes as fast as they could, falling into bed naked and holding onto each other. Trunks knew exactly what he wanted and he begged Goten to please him, to which the younger man responded by kissing Trunks all over, teasing him instead. Goten then threw off the covers and pulled Trunks to a sitting position, kissing him again as their tails began to intertwine and both smiled in the moonlight streaming through the open window. Trunks settled back down on the bed, resting his head on the pillow and spreading his legs, once again pleading with his lover for pleasure through their link and Goten was more than happy to gratify him. He positioned himself comfortably and slid inside Trunks in a second, savoring the sensations and listening to the soft moans. Goten reached his hands around Trunks' back with one hand and stroked his erection with the other, feeling Trunks starting to get a little bit tighter as he began his in and out motions. Trunks leaned back and let Goten have his way, closing his eyes and moaning louder as Goten hit just the right spot over and over and the pleasure coursed rapidly through him. Goten thrust in harder as his hand moved quicker and dripped wet from Trunks' pre-come and leaked out a few moans of his own. His own pleasure welled up inside his body and he felt himself moving faster and uncontrollably as he approached climax. Trunks let out another moan and reached orgasm, squirting all over himself and Goten, and the spasming muscles around him sent Goten over the edge as well and he released inside him. They both moaned out load and shut their eyes as wave after wave of pleasure ran through their bodies and they knew nothing but bliss. Their climax seemed to last forever and it all just felt so good, like going to heaven and coming back alive. When it finally ended, they just collapsed onto the bed and kept their eyes closed for a while.
Eventually, Trunks opened his eyes and pulled the blankets back over them, feeling the chill of the open air and cuddled closer to his love. Goten reached out a hand to stroke Trunks' hair, running his fingers through the soft strands and letting Trunks lay his head on his shoulder. The only sound was silence and the purring from both as they cuddled closer and ran their hands all over each other, coiling their tails together again and feeling sleep pull at them. There was no place they would rather be and they felt only the warmth of each other's bodies and the protective hold of each other's arms. They closed their eyes, letting out a sigh of contentment in unison, thinking of little except of how good it all felt and wanting it for the rest of time. "I love you so much, Chibi," Trunks said softly. "I love you too, Trunks-kun," said Goten. They smiled and kissed softly one last time for the night before falling asleep. Forever and for always, Trunks thought as Goten responded, and all my love from me to you.
The moonlight continued to shine through the window as they slept on, dreaming of all the good times in the past and of those yet to come. After all they went through they deserved every minute of it, and they planned to live as full a life as they could. Trunks and Goten, together with their son, could do anything and everything that they possibly wanted. But all they really wanted was what they already had: a place to call home-free from fear and want, a loving child-to raise and to watch over, and each other-to hold and comfort every day. Through it all, the one thing they would never run out of was also the one thing they could never have too much of, true love.
The End !!!
I have had such a wonderful time writing this story and, like so many of my other stories, it turned out longer and more complicated than I ever thought possible. Throughout it all, while I have found my way to writing this rather easy, I would be a fool to try and say that all you readers, especially those who reviewed, did not play a part in inspiring me to press on and finish. Now I am just one review short of an even 50, and through I know it is just a number, I am still grateful for it. I have tried to make this story exactly as I wanted it to be, but still keeping it interesting and engaging for the benefit of the readers and also trying not to lose anyone along the way. From writing this, I have learned a lot about writing and my own personal style, and it has been so fun that I couldn't let you go without a big thank you. So thank you; and even more so to all my loyal reviewers over the course of the story:animeprincess1452
