Gwg: All I am going to say at the beginning of this is that I don't own DBGT or any of the other series (though I wish I did).
Until We Meet Again
One-shot
I still come here to wait for him every day. I guess that it's something I'll do until the day I die. Bulma tells me that it is no use to come and wait for him, and yet I still do. It's funny, how rivals can become the best of friends. Goten and Gohan used to come here with me, but when their mother fell ill they slowly stopped waiting with me. Chi-chi is still ill, even five years after she was first taken to the hospital.
She refused to stay there so now she is back at home with Goten constantly watching over her with Pan's help. Pan, she misses him so much. She still hasn't let go of the clothes he left behind that day, and I don't suppose she ever will. Gohan has gotten a long with his life, even though the man he was fashioned after is long gone. There is still some of him left in Gohan, it's in his eyes everytime he laughs or gets serious.
Goten was without the man for many years, and so I suppose he has learned to live without him again. I don't think he gets tired of hearing how much he resembled his father when he was younger, and how his spirit resembles his now. Trunks was unaffected by the whole ordeal, except it left him knowing how short life can be. He doesn't fight too much with Bra anymore, well, at least not very damaging fights anyways.
Chi-chi is getting along without him, but we all know that her time is coming to an end. She barely has the strength to sit up anymore, let alone walk around her house. Tomorrow we are bringing her here for a little while, and yet I have a feeling that she won't be coming back. Tien came to visit a few days ago with Yamacha. He told me that my eyes were changing; to him they weren't the eyes of a warrior anymore, but the eyes that Goku so often had. I was surprised by his words, but even Yamacha agreed with him.
I will not be able to stay here as long as I usually do, for today we are burrying Krillian. He died twenty years to the day that his best friend left us. Time has changed us a lot, we've gotten older and our children have grown wiser. The days seem longer and the time with our family and friends shorter. Last night I dreamed of when I first thought of him as a friend instead of an enemy. His voice has guided my heart into doing things I never would've done before.
Now, as I look back on our decades as friends and rivals I have to say that I am glad for what he's done to me. Goku, if you can hear me out there you were right all along. Enemies can be friends, as well as family. Until we meet again, old friend.
Gwg: Yes, this was inspired after I watched the last episode of DBGT tonight. I was so crying because I've been waiting to see the end of that series for many, many years now. As I wrote this my mind took me back to a scene from all the episodes (since I've watched everyone). I can remember now that when I was younger, Goku was the hero I relied on. Whenever I thought of him I knew I would always do the right thing (mind you, I was only six or seven). Now, as I look back over the three series I can still see that Goku and the others have a place in my heart that never will fade. This was a tribute to the short, but great friendship between Vegeta and Goku. (In Vegeta's POV)
