FINAL CHAPTER: Gohan's and Tania's Fate

"Gohan... you're back... to normal..." I croak as I make eye contact with my boyfriend.

"Tania..." The dark haired boy looked confused. "What on earth... happened to me?"

"Gohan!" I jump and hug him around his neck. "Gohan! Gohan! I can't believe it! You're back! You have your memories again!"

Ren and Videl idly stood by as they watched Gohan and I embrace.

"I don't understand," Gohan scratched his head. "Did something happen?"

"You have no idea just how much trouble Tania and I went through to get you back to your senses," Ren spoke, approaching us.

Gohan immediately became defensive.

"Hey! What're you doing here?! You're not trying to hurt anyone, are you?!"

"Relax. I've turned over a new leaf. You see... my Minorikai is no longer strapped around my wrist... and thanks to Tania, my sister has been cured of her illness."

"Your sister?"

"Yes! A lot of my problems stemmed from the fact that I was desperate to find a cure for her, but now that I have, everything seems so much brighter and livelier for not only me, but for her as well."

"It really was a struggle for us to help restore you and everyone else's memories, Gohan," I said.

"You should be grateful for all that Tania and Ren went through to get your memories back," Wisheater, my sword, commented.

It was still good to have him back, too, after all that happened.

Gohan looked perplexed; like he couldn't believe his ears.

Videl stood there, a guilty expression written on her features.

"I... was wrong," She mumbled.

All eyes went on her.

"I tricked you into falling for me and getting you and your family and friends to completely forget about Tania by using the dragon balls. All because... I... had feelings for you... Gohan," She confessed.

"WHAT?!" Gohan's eyes widened. "What're you talking about, Videl?! You have feelings for me, but because I'm with Tania, you decided to use the dragon balls to have me forget about her and fall in love with you?!"

"Yes..." She nodded. "You must... hate me now, huh?"

"So, I really wasn't dreaming. We really were doing couple like things for a long while."

I eyed Gohan. Usually, i'd be filled with anger and jealousy at words similar to what my boyfriend spoken, but for some reason... I felt... numb... empty.

I sensed that a pair of eyes were on me and saw that Ren had a certain gaze fixated on me. Unlike with Gohan, I felt my face flush. Memories of Ren's and my journey together swept by me and suddenly, I became flustered.

I tuck my hair behind my ear and keep my eyes to the ground.

"Tania, you okay?" Gohan questioned.

"Huh?" I looked up at him. "Yeah! Of course! Why you ask?"

"..."

Gohan only stared.

"Anyway, you guys... I'm very sorry for what I had done! I'm a terrible person!" Videl apologized.

"Ah, don't worry about i-"

I nudged Gohan on the arm.

"Listen Videl, what you did was not okay and was extremely selfish. You really tried to destroy my bond with not only Gohan, but our friends as well," I told the young woman.

"I understand that, but I'm willing to make it all up to you!" Videl promised.

"And how do you suppose you do that?"

"I don't know, but I'll think of something, okay?"

I frowned.

"Really, Tania! I'm truly sorry! I even showed this by giving up the possession of the dragon balls to you so we could reverse the wish!"

"Yeah, but that was only after so much crap Ren and I had to go through to get you to do that."

"She's right," The blond folded his arms. "You owe us everything for what you've put us through."

"Just give me some time to think of something, and I'll-"

"I'm tired of this... I'm ready to go. Come on, Gohan," I float in the air, grabbing his hand as I did.

"Hold on, Tania. Don't you think we should hear her out?" Gohan responded.

"Let's go NOW, baby."

"Alright, alright," Gohan flew into the sky with me.

"Wait a moment..." Ren stopped us from leaving.

We look down at him.

"I... no longer have my Minorikai as I said earlier. Because of that, I can't fly any longer. I sort of... need some way to get home."

"Oh, don't worry. I got you," Gohan smiled. "NIMBUUUS!"

Seconds later, a cloud appeared in front of Gohan.

"Hey buddy, you mind taking my friend home?" He told it.

He pointed at Ren and the cloud moved in front of him.

"Nimbus?" Ren raised a brow. "Isn't this the cloud you said can only hold those who are pure of heart, Tania?"

"Yes," I answer.

"I... don't think I possibly have the heart to get on this! Not after everything I've done," Ren said.

"Nonsense," Gohan shook his head. "You said you turned over a new leaf, did you not? That means you should be able to ride Nimbus now."

"Yeah, he's right, Ren. You're a really great person now. Your heart's totally changed from where it was before," I smiled.

For a moment, Ren's face appeared red, but it was replaced with a smile, and cautiously, he made the effort to hop onto nimbus. He sat there nervously, expecting to crash through it, but when he didn't, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Oh, thank goodness. The cloud accepted me," He grinned.

"Of course it did," I replied. "And now that it has. I wish you a safe trip home."

"Thank you..." Ren smiled warmly at me. "And Tania...?"

"Hm?"

"Thank you... for this journey. For everything you've done for me."

With that, he held strong eye contact with me. I felt my heart skip a beat at the sight of his smile, but seeing the confused expression on Gohan's face brought me back to my senses.

Get it together, Tania. Gohan's your boyfriend!

"See you later, Videl! Please get back home safe and sound or else I'll worry!" Gohan waved with the brightest smile I've ever seen him with.

I eyed him again.

"You'll be worried?" I questioned.

"Oh!" His face immediately became red and he rubbed the back of his head. "I... uh... I meant-"

I didn't bother listening and flew further into the air. I just couldn't understand it. Why was I acting this way? Why wasn't I getting mad or jealous? It was clear to me that Gohan must've still been feeling the effects of what he thought was love toward Videl.

I watched as Nimbus took off with Ren. For some reason, I couldn't get my eyes off him lately. Just everything we had to go through to get Gohan's memories back... it was flooded in my mind. The times we fought together, the times we cried, the times we laughed, spent time together, shared our lives, and all the times he protected me. All of it... wouldn't leave my thoughts. There was just a feeling inside my heart that I couldn't shake off.

For the next few weeks, nothing was the same between Gohan and I. For some reason, it was as if we didn't click anymore. I noticed how close he seemed to have been getting to Videl as opposed to me. I also noticed just how close I was to Ren. When Gohan and I were left together, it would be as though there was no spark between us like there once was.

It felt... strange. It felt... awkward. I hated it, but there was nothing I could do about it without it being forced. Everyone noticed just how much he and I were growing apart, day by day. Sure, we still loved eachother, but... unfortunately, it was starting to feel as though it wasn't in the way it once was.

Eventually, it became so clear to us that we just had to sit down and talk about it.

"I just... don't know anymore... honestly... with... what's going on between us," I said, sitting on the side of Gohan's bed. "It's like ever since you've got your memories back, nothings been the same."

"I... agree," Gohan nodded.

"I just... I feel like we're not as close as we once were."

"I feel as though... we sorta... lost the spark we had with one another."

"Yeah..." I look down.

It was briefly silent.

"I... have to tell you something important," Gohan and I say at the same time.

We looked at eachother. Deep down... we knew what the other wanted to say. However, nothing came out of our mouths. Our memories together ravaged our minds. We had met as thirteen/fourteen year olds. We had been through so much together and we truly did love one another. However... were we... truly made for eachother?

"I'll be honest... the truth is-" I opened my mouth.

"You've fallen for Ren, huh?" Gohan finished for me.

Immediately, I became nervous.

"Don't sweat it. It's... fine," He told me, to my greatest shock. "I've... known for a while now about how you feel toward him. It was... obvious."

"Wait, but Gohan-"

"Can I admit... that I've fallen for another girl, too?"

My eyes widened. However, it wasn't because I was hurt or disappointed, but that... I just... wasn't expecting any of this to happen.

"Videl, right?" I asked.

"I... don't know why, but ever since my memories returned and she confessed her love for me the way she did, I haven't... been able to get her out of my mind. I felt bad... because I have you. You're my girlfriend."

"But... should I really be, though?"

"Hm?" Gohan glanced over at me.

"You and I... we've drifted apart. I, too, have not been able to get Ren out my head. We just bonded so much over our journey together, and I see... that you and Videl had bonded quite a bit as well."

Gohan made a sad face.

"But Tania... everything... you and I gone through-

"Gohan... don't force yourself... to hold on when we both know this... isn't right for either of us."

"..."

"Deep down... you know it's true," I said. "We're... not... in love... anymore."

"!"

"I think... you and I... should see... other people," I croaked.

It took all my strength just to say that. I watched Gohan. He seemed shocked, but slowly, his features turned neutral.

"I... agree," He nodded. "I think we should break up, too. Especially since we no longer feel in love with one another. Because... we both have feelings for other people, Videl and Ren respectively."

I sighed.

"I'd still... like to be friends. To remain close," I smiled, almost painfully.

I just couldn't believe it ended... Gohan and my relationship. He and I were together since forever. However, it was just becoming apparent each day that passed, that he and I... were not made for one another.

"I'd love to stay friends. I'll always love you. Whether it be through romance or friendship. I'll always care about you, Tania," He told me.

"Yea... I feel the same way."

"So... this is really it, huh?"

I nodded.

"Unfortunately... it is. Just Gohan... please don't... forget about me or what we had. You were my first love... and you'll always be my first love."

"You were my first love, too. Don't worry... I'll always remember what we had."

Tears surfaced in my eyes.

I closed my eyes and leaned forward. Soon, Gohan met his lips onto mine for one final kiss. It was sweet and tender. So soft and serene. I could feel just how much we loved eachother, even if it wasn't that of a romantic nature anymore.

Some time passed and Ren and I had become as close as ever. We stood by a lake, laughing and joking with one another. It always amazed me just how funny he was. Eventually, he became serious.

"Tania," He called.

"Hm?" I wiped some tears from my eyes after having laughed so hard.

"I can't lie to you... I... love you," He blurted.

Suddenly, it felt like my heart beated out of my chest. My skin flushed and I was at a loss for words.

"You... love me?" I mumbled.

Ren's face was red as he nodded.

"Yes... ever since you cured my sister, I began having feelings for you. I saw just how kind and amazing you are. That you'd go out of your way to help someone like me. Someone... who was your enemy."

As he confessed his love, my blush deepened and I found myself smiling the hardest I ever had.

"I... didn't know what to do... because Gohan was your boyfriend... I wanted to tell you how I felt. I wanted to hold you and make you mine."

"Ren..."

"!"

Just like that, I pressed my lips onto his. It was like I was in lalaland. Everything felt so right. Kissing him made me realize just how much I like him. How much I loved him back.

A few years passed since Gohan and I broke up. We've graduated high school and have been in happy relationships with the people we had truly fallen for — him with Videl and me with Ren.

"And with the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife," The priest said as Ren and I stood across from one another, hand in hand, gazing lovingly in the other's eyes. "You may kiss your bride."

Ren cupped my cheeks in his hands and planted his lips onto mine. It was the most satisfying kiss ever given to me. I could feel just how much he loved me and how much I cared for him.

Quickly, he scooped me up in his arms and carried me down the aisle as our friends and family cheered.

"Yeahhhh! Tania and Ren!!! Congratulations!" I could hear Gohan and Videl cheering for us as we walked passed them.

Those two were set to marry soon after us. Gohan and I remained friends for the rest of our lives. I even gave birth to three babies, two boys and one girl, and lived out the rest of my days with Ren... forever and ever.

It was a blissful end... to my very own fairytale.
