Together Again

Disclaimer:- For the very last time, concerning this fic, I do not own dragonball Z

Well here we are, at the very last chapter. I hope you've all enjoyed readng this fic, I know I've enjoyed writing it! I've decided to make the ending pretty serious, I hope you like it. If anybody wants any kind of a sequel where Goku returns or something, just let me know.

Last Time

"I guess I'll have to get used to him not depending on me anymore" Vegeta muttered to himself"

"Yeah" Goku agreed

"ACK!" Vegeta screamed "What the hell are you doing here!"

"Shh! You'll wake everybody up!"

"What the hell are you doing here?" Vegeta whispered harshly

"I don't know … the author put me here .. ask her!"

"Oh forget it! Go home!"

"Okay!" Goku replied happily and disappeared

Vegeta continued to mutter curses as he made his way to bed and drifted off to sleep … until Bulma smacked him with a pillow for waking her up. Then an all out pillow fight resumed which resulted in nobody having a pillow for the night … at least they still had the feathers … and their happiness.

Vegeta let a small smile play on his lips as he watched Vegeta Jr. and Goku Jr. play together. Goku Jr, still to this day did not understand why his 'adopted' grandpa Vegeta would call him Kakarot now and again.

He turned from watching the kids and walked into Bulma's lab. His eyes trailed to a door in the back and he sighed. Just a few more hours and he would be able to open it. His eyes flew back to the young boys as they scuffled again and he smirked as Vegeta Jr. gained the upper hand.

"See! I told you!" VJ cried "You can never beat me!"

"We'll see about that VJ!" cried GJ as he elbowed VJ in the ribs and escaped his hold.

The two 11 year olds continued to fight and Vegeta's gaze returned to the back room. He sighed and lifted himself from his favourite black leather chair. He strolled through the halls of capsule corporation and stopped as he passed the mirror. Narrowing his eyes at the reflection that looked back at him he growled slightly and then smirked.

"Saiyans are not meant to live this long" Vegeta growled "But I have to admit…" the Saiyan prince smirked "I still look damn good!"

Vegeta continued on his way and passed the two sparring boys. As he stopped to watch them and they both knelt down in respect.

"Boy" Vegeta called to VJ "Watch your guard when your in flight"

"Yes Sir" VJ replied "Thank you"

"And you, Kakabrat" Vegeta glared at GJ

"Yes sir?" GJ asked, unaffected by Vegeta's harsh glare

Vegeta smirked and ruffled his hair "Good hit on the boy!"

"Thank you sir!"

VJ growled at GJ and Vegeta gave him a look that silenced him.

"Don't get jealous boy" Vegeta warned "Take it from someone who knows best"

"Yes sir"

Vegeta ruffled his hair and continued to walk.

"Grandpa?" Both boys called "Where are you going?"

"Hn"

"Are you going to vising Mama?" GJ asked

"Yeah"

"And grandma Pan?"

"Yeah … my son and daughter too … that's your grandma brat" he said to VJ.

"C-can we come?" VJ ventured

"…sure"

Both boys jumped into the air and smacked their hands together screaming "YES!"

Vegeta smirked and began to walk round the back of the house with the boys following closely behind. Before long they all stood quietly in front of the tombstones of all the earths defenders.

Vegeta stood looking solemnly at his son's and daughters headstones as he said a quiet prayer in Saiyan. VJ and GJ gulped down their tears as they looked on at their parents headstones.

Vegeta knelt down beside them and rested a hand on each of their shoulders.

"It's alright to cry boys, it wasn't their time"

Vegeta had been baby-sitting the boys on the night it had happened. Everybody was having a reunion - everyone that was left that is. Pan, Bura, Trunks, Goten, Gohan, and all the humans belonging to the Z Group were dead. Eighteen had committed suicide after she had watched her daughter die of old age.

Vegeta was tempted to do the same after his daughters death, but he still had a obligation. He still had to train the newest Saiyans. They were now the new hope for the future. He had been sitting with them asleep in either arm when the police had knocked on the door.

Dead.

They had all died in a car crash and then he had the job of telling to 7 year olds they could never see their parents again. He would let them believe that they could meet again in other world, but Vegeta knew better. In order to keep your body and memories in other world, you had to earn it, and there hadn't been a true Z Fighter since Pan. He just hoped that they would be shown mercy for what their families before them had done to save the universe.

Vegeta sighed again and started to lead the boys away.

"Don't worry grandpa" GJ comforted, I's only a few more hours.

"I know" Vegeta smiled "Now get back to training"

"Yes sir!" Both replied and ran off to resume their fight.

Vegeta stepped back into the house an lay down on the bed.

'Just a few more hours' he reassured himself before falling asleep.

A few Hours Later

Vegeta woke with a start as a shrill ringing filled his ears. He turned the recording of Chichi he used as an alarm off and quickly straightened out his clothes. He ran out of the room and sopped at the mirror to make sure he looked okay.

"Good" he said to himself as he walked briskly into Bulma's lab.

He walked into the back room and entered a series of numbers that he had obviously had ingrained into his head into a control panel next to a large machine. His breath caught n his throat as it started working.

Before long a figure emerged from the machine and Vegeta sopped moving altogether. He couldn't seem to find the strength to breath as the figures sparkling blue eyes turned on him.

"Vegeta?"

"…"

"How long has it been?"

"…"

"Vegeta?"

"…so long…"

"How long?"

"You old me to keep you in there as long as possible … that is what we agreed on … right?"

"Yes"

"I've missed you Bulma"

Bulma smiled and walked up to Vegeta wrapping her arms around him. She had wanted to test out her cryogenic freezing machine and Vegeta had agreed to wake her when the time had come. He had told her he would wait and it was probably better as Saiyans live longer than humans.

"I would say the same, but it's only been 5 minutes to me!"

"It's been a bit more than that Bulma"

"But, the machine couldn't have worked for that long - it was a prototype, designed to work for 20 years at the most!" Bulma smiled, but Vegeta's expression remained solemn.

"you miscalculated Bulma"

"What? What's wrong Vegeta?"

"I couldn't get you out. I know I wasn't supposed to try, but I missed you!"

"Vegeta? Hw long has it been"

"Bulma … over 100 of your earth years has passed since you entered that machine … I … I am all that is left apart from the children"

"But - But what about all the others!"

"Dead"

"You were alone all this time!"

"Not alone … all the time"

"But how did you cope with the funeral's?"

"It wasn't so bad … Trunks and Bura's hurt the most, but I handles Kakarot's kids pretty well"

"B-but you said the kids were alive! M-my babies can't be dead!"

"The youngest boys are alive … my great grandchild and kakarot's great, great great grandkid, or something like that"

"But shouldn't our grandchildren sill be alive!"

"Um … they kind of … died … in a car crash" Vegeta replied quietly looking at the floor"

"Why didn't you get me out sooner!" Bulma screamed

"I tried!" Vegeta yelled "The damn machine wouldn't let me and I was afraid I would hurt you if I destroyed it! Don't you think I got sick of being alone!"

Bulma calmed and looked sadly at Vegeta. They looked at each other for a short while before Vegeta tried to lighten the mood.

"So still look that good huh?"

"What?" Bulma asked

"Well, you couldn't tell the difference could you? How old did you think I was?"

Bulma laughed and lightly slapped Vegeta on his arm. They both linked hands and walked out to meet the boys.

2 Months Later

Bulma was quietly drinking her hot chocolate when Vegeat raced in the room, grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Bulma!" he cried happily

"What?" she laughed. She hadn't seen him this happy in ages.

"I've got a new pet!"

"Oh no!" Bulma mock cried "Not more raptors!"

"No! I'm through with raptors - they breed too much!"

"So what will it be his time Vegeta?" Bulma asked with a hint of humour in her voice "Big foot?"

"No" Vegeta replied gesturing out the window "Rex!"

Bulma peeked out the window, screamed and fainted. Vegeta shrugged and made his way downstairs.

"Don't mind her" Vegeta informed Rex "She was that way with Fluffy too, but she'll come around"

Vegeta scratched Rex's head and Rex growled gently in response. Vegeta smiled as he fed his new T-Rex a smaller dinosaur with a side of beef and walked back into the house. He put Bulma into bed and looked out the window.

"I'll build you a T-rex house tomorrow okay Rex!" he called

A loud growl was his response and Vegeta got into bed and cuddled up to Bulma

"You should have never made me look for a pet in the first pace woman!" Vegeta smirked "I can't wait for Kakarot to return … Rex ill love to eat - I mean meet him!" the prince smirked once more before falling asleep.
