This is the final chapter. That's so sad. Well, it's been fun writing and I wish I could put it off just once more. It's their final shot at happiness together and let's hope they make the best of it.

Destiny Strikes
Trunks' P.O.V.
'I'm such a jerk. Goten really isn't stupid is he. He just doesn't show it the way I do. I guess even if he was an idiot I wouldn't have any right to call him that all the time. It had just become so natural, which was kind of scary. If that had become second nature, just think of all the other terrible things that I've said to him. Goten, I'm the idiot, I just hope you can forgive me.'
At this point I began crying, thoughts of suicide filling my head. All I had ever wanted was Goten, and I had ruined my best chance. Soon, however, I sensed someone's ki coming towards me. It was familiar to me, but I didn't take the time to try and recognize them. All that mattered to me now was how I should suffer for how awfully I had treated Goten. However, the person did not just fly off, they landed near me, and I looked up to see whop could possibly want to share the same air with such a low life as myself. To my surprise, it was Goten. I quickly wiped away my tears and hid my face, too ashamed to look him in the eye. Was he here to forgive or yell at me more. While I severely hoped it was the former, I also believed that the latter would be more appropriate for a low-life like me. That's when he spoke to me in what was, surprisingly, a caring voice.
Goten's P.O.V.
"Trunks, look at me," I stated lovingly to him, receiving a hesitant and frightened face turning to look at me. "Trunks, I'm still a little peeved at you for not getting it until I yelled at you, but I didn't mean all of it. Trunks, I don't want you to run away from me."
"You're just saying that because you feel sorry for me," he replied in what I assumed was supposed to be an angry tone but came out, somehow, apologetic. I wouldn't know how else to describe it, but I guess he finally understands and that's all that matters to me.
"Trunks, I don't feel sorry for you. I never feel sorry for anyone. What they make of themselves is caused by their own actions. Trunks, I just want to make sure that we're still friends. You are the most important thing in the world to me. I could never let you go."
"Y-you really mean it Goten?"
"Of course I do Trunks! How could you even ask something like that? But Trunks, I have to tell you something really important, and I'm afraid that if I don't tell you now, I won't ever be able to tell you again."
"Actually Goten, there's something that I need to tell you as well, and I need to say it right now. Sorry if that means you won't get to say yours, but I think this is more important, not to demean what yours is. Goten, I've been thinking a lot lately, and I've realized something. All this time I was calling you names and putting you down, and it was like second-nature to me. I'm such a horrible person to have done that to you. I mean, you're my best friend, and I want you to know that I'm sorry."
"That's very touching and all but-"
"I'm not done, Goten. I have one more thing to say, and it's the most important part of all of that. Now, I can understand if you don't forgive me for what I've done, but if we can't stay friends, I want you to know that I-"
"Yes," I said, probably more anxiously than I should have. What if- no not possible.
"Goten, I love you, more than you could possibly know. I always have, and it was so hard watching you with all those girls. It just seems that we weren't meant to be together. I know it probably disgusts you, but I'm begging you, can we at least stay friends. You said you wanted to, right?" he asked tears now freefalling from his eyes and over his cheeks. His face sparkled in the moonlight, more bright and warm than I had ever seen it before. It was just so welcoming. It reflected off of the lake giving the entire scene the same glow that was radiating from his face. You could hear the crickets chirping in the background, creating a symphony equal in beauty to that of Beethoven. Several swans floated on the water, elegantly gliding to and fro on the calm waters that seemed to move just so slightly as to be noticeable only after staring at it for some time. The gentle breeze that was blowing past us with an eerily slow speed was just strong enough to make the branch on the willow tree that we were under hit the waters and create three little ripples, creating the perfect scene. And to hear those words come from his mouth, it was like heaven on Earth, except better.
"Oh Trunks, I could never hate you. I'm so happy you feel that way Trunks. I was so nervous coming here tonight, about rejection, not only of the relationship but of myself as well. Trunks I love you too. I guess I always have, I just never realized what these feelings meant until recently. Trunks I want to spend the rest of my life with you and no other. You're my night in shining armor come to rescue me from the closet I so meekly hide within. Trunks, I love you, with my heart and soul, and what the hell are you waiting for, kiss me."
Nobody's P.O.V.
As their lips locked, a blazing fury escaped from them as if to say 'finally, they get it'. The kiss began simple but soon turned passionate, both getting rid of all their pent up emotions. It was, oddly enough, like taking a pee after holding it too long. (A/N- Sorry for ruining the moment but sometimes you just gotta pee at the most inopportune times, ya know.) It quickly became a battle of the tongues, each fighting for dominance over the other, each holding back out of love. They parted after a few minutes, both breathless, but soon dove back in for more, repeating what they had done just prior to the instance. This was repeated a few times until Trunks decide to speak.
"Hey, who's that behind the tree? Who are you?" Trunks asked out of curiosity rather than fear.
"I'm Nobody. Why do you ask?" the mysterious figure retorted.
"I said who are you, and what do you want?"
"And I told you, my name is Nobody, and I'm actually documenting you're story."
After hearing this, the newly formed couple turned to each other, both deciding to ignore it, and returned to their previous actions. The night was so beautiful and their love so young. They both knew in their hearts that their love would last forever, but what lay ahead of them, no one could have predicted.
The End
Goten: How can you end a story with a semi-cliffie?
Kaiser: Well, like I said, I'm going to do a sequel to this about your lives after this night. Actually, after several nights after this night.
Trunks: Goten, you comin' to bed. It's 12:00 o'clock in the morning.
Goten: Be there in a sec sweety. I'm talking to Kaiser about this chapter.
Trunks: Okay, hun.
Kaiser: Aww, how cute. You've been together for 41/2 minutes and you already have pet names.
Goten: Dude, you're the one writing this.
Kaiser: That doesn't mean I can't think it's cute.
Goten: What about the sequel though?
Kaiser: Well, actually, I've already started it. It's called Desires of the Mind. Amazingly there is significance behind that title and it's not just to tie in with the title of this one. I will have it up by next Tuesday after I have completed/tweaked it.
Goten: Good, because I like to know what happens to us later on.
Kaiser: You die.
Goten: Well, way to… OH My God, I DIE.
Kaiser: Trunks was right. You are stupid. Of course you don't. Well, you might, but who knows. I certainly don't. Oh, wait yes I do. I sure feel powerful. Oh, wait, nope, that's not power; I'm just hungry.
Trunks: GOTEN, COME TO BED1 I require sex once-twice a day.
Well people, this is it. This is the final chapter. But remember. THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL. IT WILL BE CALLED DESIRES OF THE MIND. PLEASE WATCH FOR IT AS EARLY AS TUESDAY. Well, goodbye for one final time. I hope you had fun because I know I did. I can't really think of a good way to end this, so go back, read all my endings again and that should do it. Hope to see you at the sequel. It would mean a lot to Mr. Ixneigh.
