After this will be at most will be 3 more chapters, if not then two. I do have a plan on some things to say in each one, including this one. All that matters is a number of words it takes up. You see I just don't want you to feel like you're reading a billion words at the same time I want to squeeze in as much detail as possible. I know I should just have Cal explain it, but I just don't care.

Without further ado

Here's Chapter 32!

Though please go back to chapter 1 for an important message.

Trunks were carrying a far lighter Misty than before. She was always light for him to carry, but even he noticed something strange in her weight. Misty too looked thrilled that she was going to see Splash one more time, so he refused to mentioned it. They were already above the ocean and when Trunks stood still, Misty asked him why he stopped.

"Just wait and you'll see," he replied back to her. Just then an entire pod of Orcas appeared and Misty knew it was Splash's pod. Trunks flew down closer for Misty to take a better glimpse.

"Can we go in the water?" she pleaded looking up in his eyes, in response he shrugged. Trunks carefully got himself and Misty into the water and lifted up Misty to hold her tight by her waist from behind. He was still being gentle as ever as the most familiar energy signature from an Orca came swimming close to them and they both instantly knew it was Splash.

The whale squealed in delight then started to make sounds of sadness. Misty reached and patted Splash with a loving smile and she gave a sigh.

"So you know I'm not well, huh?" she said to Splash.

Misty leaned in to kiss Splash on her nose with Trunks continuing to hold her from behind as they stayed in the water. "Like I told Trunks and the others, no matter what happens I'll still be at your side always supporting you," Misty said softly.

"You don't have to say goodbye, that's what I learn from someone dear to me," with those words from Misty, Trunks smiled hugging her even closer.

"I don't know much about death but I don't see why you can't be friends with me even so or that my family still can't be my family, I just find it odd because when I said we'll be friends forever I swear I meant it!" Misty proclaimed.

A small moment of silence has passed. "Pushing that aside, how have you been? Have you made any new friends? Have you and the rest of your pod been eating well?" Misty kept asking questions to keep Splash occupied with her mind; the whale knows what she's trying to pull.

Aside from that, all the Orcas did look really healthy so they seem to be fine. Splash once again gave Misty jubilant noises that she and many other Orca fans enjoy as a symphony. Misty smiled even brighter as she couldn't help it, if she were to die right here right now, everything would be perfect. She would die in the ocean and beside Splash, but she had to stay strong because it wouldn't be completely perfect. Misty does mean a lot to Splash, so the poor Orca and Trunks would have to deal with the horrifying pain of watching her die then and there. It just wouldn't be right.

Misty told Splash about how she wasn't really able to go to the marine park anymore due to her condition but Coral did occasionally call her in her spare time to have her see what's up with the animals. The orange haired girl also told the whale on how she felt useless and that she wasn't able to walk anymore and that's why Trunks is carrying her. The water warrior also explained why she couldn't use the micro band Bulma made as a teenager since it wouldn't be able to fit on Splash in the first place. As for the animal translator, that also wouldn't have fit either. It was like their conversations back when Splash was still at the marine park, they would always have full conversations together and it wouldn't matter if Misty wasn't the only one to talk, Splash would always respond and whenever she was confused, Misty would know.

Splash seemed to listen and understood Misty's every word she said, or at least tried to understand. Misty did tell Splash about the time where Trunks accidentally shot her with a small ki blast and how she commented on how she didn't think she would prefer being shot by Pikachu's Thunderbolt before fainting to the ground. From what Misty was told by Trunks, he and Goten tried waking her up with water and amongst other things like tickling her, thankfully she was still alive and that it happened before she realized she was really sick.

The currently grown up baby whale seemed to be back in a cheerful mood, which what Misty wanted from her friends. If this were the last time for her to see Splash again then might as well make the moment full of joy and even if fate brings another time together, then so let there be more moments of joy because there's already enough people crying in the world as is. Misty's making everything count, especially the fact her life is literally on the line, yet even so it wouldn't matter.

"It was great talking to you and holding you once more Splash, I sure hope I can do this one more time, but I gotta go," Misty said to Splash sadly. In response, all the Orcas started to make sad noises as well, since it looks like they also know that something's not right.

"But remember," she stopped and kissed Splash on the nose one more time before continuing,"We're more than friends, we're family and I'll always be there for you," she whispered softly to the whale.

"You ready?" Trunks asked from behind as he and Misty were still in the water together and he was there the entire time listening while holding on to her.

"Yeah, I am," she turned to face him showing small tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I promise I'll help look after Splash and get the others to join in too," he vowed before lifting himself and Misty out of the water as Misty said one final farewell to Splash as she started to swim off with her pod.

Trunks started carrying her bridal style as he headed back to her home. By the time they got back, they were still wet but dry enough to no longer be dripping. Tien gave Trunks a towel, and Launch with the help of Mai and Marron held up her daughter to walk her to her room to change her clothes into new pajamas that consisted of a light yellow sweater and sky blue sweatpants.

When Launch was done she gently laid her daughter down on her bed that way she can go to sleep, which she eventually did. By the time Misty was asleep, Trunks left to go to his home, instead of staying the night like his girlfriend and his other gal pal did. Mai and Marron also decided to call it a day by getting in between Misty and praying for another day for her to live another day like they've been doing every night. Also, like every night silent tears fall off their faces. Mai and Marron knew that Misty won't be around for long, although the girl does have spunk in her without a doubt, and it's a surprise itself that she made it this far in the current health she's in.

3 more months

Trunks were hurrying to see Misty because he didn't sense her energy anymore. She was getting sicker and sicker by each passing time but he didn't really expect this to happen all of a sudden, he thought she was going to make it.

'Just 3 more months, all you had was 3 more months,' Trunks thought bitterly as he zoomed through the air. It was raining, but that's not important. The boy did make every second count with Misty as he possibly could and even started to visit her every day after bringing her to see Splash once more. Too bad it's the last.

Trunks eventually arrived at the Shinhan's residence, the door was opened so he went in to see a crying Launch with her hair blond and her face in her hands with her husband holding to her shoulders. Chiaotzu sat next to her quietly as he had a sad expression on his face. Chichi and Videl sat in the dining room also really quiet and sad. Bulma was still asleep as it was early, so she didn't get the news.

Pan was floating around all happily as Marill seemed to be upset too. Marron and Mai were standing next to the couch with their hair over their eyes but tears were visible to see falling from their cheeks. Goten, 18 and Krillin also looked really gloomy. Trunks knew the reason before he even walked through the door.

Misty's...dead. There was nothing more to it than that. If it was so simple, then why did his heart felt like it been cut opened then frozen only to break even more? No one seemed to notice he was there, except for Mai who silently walked up to him and gave him an envelope. She didn't even look at him and she couldn't look at him or anyone.

Trunks looked at the envelope and it was from Misty herself. He could tell by the delicate handwriting, they been spending together for over 2 years they know enough of each other to see the difference between them and other people.

"Can I go see Misty?" Trunks quietly asked.

Tien looked at him and nodded. Trunks went upstairs to Misty's room to see her in a peaceful sleep, a sleep that'll last forever. The Dragon Balls can't bring her back, she died of a natural cause, not even the Namekian Dragon Balls can bring her back as many times as they wanted. She's gone for good, there's no turning back now.

She still looked the same with a white nightgown that had small pink flowers as a pattern and it went up to her knees, the sleeves went up to her elbows and with her friendship necklace on her neck, she looked much more pale, and Trunks couldn't sense any energy from her body so she was truly gone. Even in a forever sleep, Misty looked stunning like an angel from heaven, that's where she'll be and even though she has done good but not enough to keep her physical body, he'll still be able to find her again, when his time comes.

Trunks clenched the letter in his hands, he didn't know what was in it, nor did he mean to, but he was so angry he was helpless towards his friend that he possibly would've gone Super Saiyan 2 if a part of him wasn't worried about harming anyone else that was currently in the house.

"Her last words was 'Thanks, Trunks'," Mai appeared at the doorway behind Trunks, actually startling him. He turned around to see his girlfriend with her eyes swollen and red.

Trunks remained silent, he didn't know what to say or what Misty meant, he wasn't present when she said those words, so why would she be thanking him?

He then looked at the letter and walked out of the room, not saying a word to Mai and she didn't say anything in return.

The lavender haired boy went back on the roof where he remembered the last time he was on it, it was with Misty and Goten. This time he decides to go there by himself, not expecting anyone and hopes no one decides to follow him (mainly Goten), he was under a hood so he didn't get wet. Trunks breathed a sigh and started tearing the top as gently as he could.

I know I really shouldn't end it here but I had to tell you about the fact I updated the real vs fictional chapter and the last one. You see I gave more detail on what May, Dawn, and Iris (simulations) did in that chapter along with how Misty was able to get to know them better. As for the last chapter, I updated it to where Misty got to 'know' Ash's friends in Alola and what they're like and a little of her thoughts about it.

Please favorite if you haven't, review too. Don't forget to NOT bully, seriously be careful with what you say!

Thanks for making it this far, if you didn't skip.

R.I.P to Tilikum (died January 6, 2017) who I wished tasted ocean freedom's once more, however at least you're free in the sky!

Notes: Cal's still with them and I did plan on having him in this chapter, but I felt there was no room for it, especially with all the other things going on. The parts where Misty talks to Splash, those moments were NEVER written in previous chapters, same with the moment when Trunks accidentally shot a ki blast at Misty.
