Epilogue: Lives Unchanged
* * *
He fell to the ground at the sight. It was horrible, no worse than it was when he left, but it hadn't changed at all. "What happened?" he asked himself, "I changed the past! I saved them! Why didn't it change?"
He had begun to shout, though there wasn't a soul on the planet to hear him. Then it dawned on him; something they had all overlooked, something his mother had failed to see. It hadn't changed his future, it had created a parallel universe. Now, the universe he had returned from would go on, living everything the way he wanted it here. His life, his home, would still be the hell it was. "No." he told himself, "I won't let it! I have to do something, I have to save them all, I have to save myself." He glanced back at the time machine, "You're my only hope."

Vejiita gazed out of the balcony at the city. It had all changed, it only took three wishes to undo everything. Now, only two people even remembered what had happened; him, and Kakarott, and that was the way it was going to stay. He turned back to Bulma who was sitting on the bed waiting for him. 'I love you.' he thought, 'Someday, I'll be strong enough to say it to you.' She smiled and patted the bed, he smirked, "You little vixen." he whispered.
He took her into his arms and kissed her passionately. "I love you Vejiita." she whispered. Vejiita just held her tighter, she would never know what had happened, he didn't want her to remember. He just things to stay this way forever, or at least as long as he lived.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closet to heaven that I'll ever get
And I don't wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
~The End~
Hey, the song is 'Iris' by the goo goo dolls. I didn't ask permission to use it, so please don't sue me. But, it was the inspriration for this whole story, at least the first chorus was. I thought it fit so, I added it to the end. I hope you all liked the story, please let me know if I should do a sequel.
Thank you all again for your support, it means so much for me.
