Our Last Chance Chapter 20: Epilogue: At the Beginning, a dragon ball z fanfic

Frieza stirred awake from his sleep, and opened his eyes to see Mizu's angelic face still fast asleep next to him. He yawned, and turned around to look towards Lavender's bed - and his eyes widened.
"Lavender?!" he sat up. "Laven -"
"Hm…?" Mizu awoke when she heard him. "Frieza, what's going on?" she yawned.
"She's gone."
"What?"
"She's gone AGAIN!" Frieza sounded more angry than panicked. "That - - that saiyan FREAK! He's run off with her!"
"Frieza, how do you know she hasn't just woken up before us?" Mizu reasoned. "She's probably having breakfast or something -"
"You!" Vegeta stormed into the room. "Where is my son?!"
"How should I know?" Frieza shot back, jumping out of bed angrily. "But wherever he is he's taken my daughter with him -"
"Oh, sure!" Vegeta replied sarcastically. "And I'm just certain she put up a real good fight!"
"And just what does that mean?!"
"Get real, Frieza!" Vegeta shot. "Don't tell me you don't know what a cheap slut she is -"
"How DARE you!" Frieza started to get ready to blow Vegeta up there and then.
"She wouldn't have even considered doing this before your son -"
"Hey… what's that noise?" Mizu interrupted.
"What?" Vegeta and Frieza turned to face her.
"What are you talking about?" Vegeta demanded impatiently.
"That noise, don't you hear it?!" Mizu protested. "It's outside!"
"What?" Frieza listened carefully. Yes, there was in fact a noise. What was that? "Huh?!" suddenly, his eyes widened. "That's a -"
"A SPACESHIP?!" Vegeta yelled.
"Vegeta!" Bulma ran into the room. "Come quick, Trunks and Lavender are outside!"
"What?!" Vegeta ran past her, followed by Frieza.

---

"Come on, he's here!" Lavender beamed. She waved at the spaceship that was flying closer to them. "Tangun! Over here!"
"Hey, hurry up!" Trunks called.
"Shouldn't we say goodbye first, mommy?" Saiyamo asked.
"Sure. We will once we're on board." Lavender replied, and she and Trunks exchanged mischevious glances.
"Lavender!" Frieza and Vegeta came bursting out of Capsule Corps, followed by Mizu, Bulma, and a sleepy and curious Bra.
"Hey dad!" Lavender smiled cutely.
"Bra, you're up early." Trunks teased.
"What's going on?!" Vegeta demanded. The ship drew nearer and landed closely behind Trunks, Lavender and Saiyamo. The door opened, and Tangun beamed at them from inside.
"All aboard!" he grinned.
"It's quite simple, Vegeta." Lavender answered Vegeta's question.
"Yeah basically…" Trunks helped Saiyamo onto the ship and then followed himself. "We knew you guys would never let Lavender and I so much as talk to each other…"
"And there'd be nothing but fighting and arguing if we stayed around…" Lavender followed him.
"So, we're leaving." Trunks said. "Got it?"
"Y - You're WHAT?!" Vegeta's jaw dropped.
"Is this some kind of joke?!"
"No joke, dad!" Lavender replied. "We're deadly serious about this. Trunks and I are going away together, and if you guys can't accept that then tough!"
"But running away?!" Bulma protested. "This is crazy Trunks, you come back here right now!"
"No!" Trunks refused. "I'm sorry mom, I'd stay if I could but so long as your husband is being like this I can't."
"You little brat -"
"And that's not all!" Saiyamo interrupted Vegeta. "Mommy, tell them the rest!"
"The rest?" Vegeta looked at them.
"Oh yeah!" Lavender grinned. "Trunks and I are getting married."
"What?!"
"Tangun knows a place we can get wed." Trunks explained. "Once it's all sorted, we'll let you guys know the dates."
"We'd like you to be there…" Lavender looked at Frieza. "But you'll have to come yourselves, we're not gonna come back for you."
"Lavender, you -"
"Bra, won't this be so cool?" Saiyamo smiled. "You'll be my aunt!"
"An aunt…?" Bra blinked.

Tangun looked at Trunks and Lavender.
"So are we moving? I need to get home soon before Lakuna sends out a search party looking for me."
"Wait right there!" Frieza ordered. He looked at Lavender. "Have you gone insane?! What do you think you're doing, running off with a monkey half-breed?! I thought you said you were an adult -"
"I AM an adult!" Lavender argued. "It's you guys that are acting like the kids!"
"Aren't you two going to say anything about this?" Vegeta glared at Mizu and Bulma.
"Actually…" Mizu began. "I think it's quite romantic "
"Yeah, don't you guys ever remember being young?" Bulma reasoned. "I remember when I was sixteen I met Mr. Right and all I wanted to do was just run away with him and get married."
"Remind me again, this is the one you ended up splitting up with, right?" Frieza said bluntly.
"Are you comparing my son to YAMCHA?!" Vegeta yelled.
"Grow up." Bulma mumbled.
"But Frieza… don't they remind you of another couple?" Mizu asked.
"Oh please, don't start on that." Frieza growled.
"True love, right?" Mizu giggled. She turned towards Trunks and Lavender. "You have my support, kids! I'll be at your wedding."
"MIZU -"
"Yeah me too!"
"BULMA!"
"Thanks, mom!" Lavender beamed.
"See you guys!" Trunks waved.
"NO! Trunks, just -"
"Bye!" the spaceship door closed, and before there was anything Frieza and Vegeta could do, their children were out of sight.
"… Well." Frieza glared at Mizu. "Thanks a lot!"
"Some mother you are!" Vegeta shot at Bulma. Mizu and Bulma sighed, and turned away.
"Oh, shut up."

-------

"Well, we did it." Trunks said. He looked at Lavender. "We embarrassed them "
Lavender giggled. "Yeah, they must be pretty mad."
"Hey. First of all I need to go to my home planet, you two don't mind spending the night there before I take you to your wedding place do you?" Tangun asked.
"Sure, we have as much time as we want." Trunks shrugged.
"I can't wait!" Lavender beamed. "I've always wanted to be a bride!"
"Can I be a bridesmaid?" Saiyamo asked.
"Sure you can." Lavender smiled. She looked at Trunks, and all of what they'd just done started to sink in. She was finally with him - and nobody could get in their way. She smiled, and looked into his eyes. "Just as long as we're together… right?"
"Right." Trunks smiled back in the same way, and kissed her. "This is the start of a new beginning for us."
"Mm-hm." Lavender nodded cutely. "A new beginning "
"Yeah…"

-------

We were strangers starting out on a journey,
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through,
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing,
At the beginning with you,

No one told me I was going to find you,
Unexpected what you did to my heart,
When I lost hope you were there to remind me,
This is the start,

And Life is a road and I wanna keep going,
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing,
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey,
I'll be there when the world stops turning,
I'll be there when the storm is through,
In the end I wanna be standing,
At the beginning with you,

We were strangers on a crazy adventure,
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true,
Now here we stand unafraid of the future,
At the beginning with you,

Knew there was somebody somewhere,
Like a light in the dark,
Now I know that dreams will live on,
I've been waiting so long,
Nothing's gonna tear us apart,

-------

"This is the start of a new beginning for us."
"Mm-hm." Lavender nodded cutely. "A new beginning "
"Yeah…"
Tangun listened to them and silently sighed happily.
"Kids…" he thought. "Gotta love 'em." He chuckled to himself; and flew the ship through the stars, carrying Trunks and Lavender off into the new life that they could finally start building together.

Life is a road and I wanna keep going,
Love is a river I wanna keep goin on,
Starting out on a journey,
Life is a road and I wanna keep going,
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing,
In the end I wanna be standing,
At the beginning with you...

Special thanks to:

Veromorphia
Thomas Drovin
Trunks's-girl

for sticking with this story through thick and thin right from the very first chapter of T/L fic number 01, My Birth.
Well guys, it's finally over :( I gotta admit I'm going to miss Trunks and Lavender, but there's really no more to write (Well... I'll let you in on a little secret, there will be a final one-shot fic released soon, mainly just to tie up loose ends) so I think it's time to put the series to bed.
I hope you enjoyed reading this series as much as I did writing it, and I hope I can create more stories that are as successful and as fun to write as this one was - and of course, I hope you all learned something from it I don't like writing stuff that can't teach you anything.
So... thanks guys! I'm sure all of you helped to make the series what it was, and I couldn't have done it without you! Bye for now

Also thanks to Bishounenlvr for reviewing every chapter of Our Last Chance with such enthusiasm and encouragement - love ya Bishounenlvr!
