As the night came to a close, guests began leaving and close friends said their final farewells to Goku and Chichi since they wouldn't be seeing them for quite some time.
"Hey man," Krillin said nudging Goku in his side as they stood looking out at the setting sun by the garden. Goku looked down at his friend; eyebrows risen wondering what he wanted to talk about, "have a great life. I wish you and Chichi the best. You seem happy with her."
"Hey thanks Krillin," Goku said smiling at him. "That means a lot."
Krillin smiled then nodded before walking away.
Standing alone by the garden where he and Krillin had been talking, Goku watched as the final rays of warmth emitting from the sun kissed the petals of the roses before they disappeared behind the horizon. Goku suddenly felt something warm press against his side and looked down to see his new wife standing at his side, her arms tucked into his and her head resting on his shoulder.
"It's beautiful isn't it," Chichi asked looking out at the rose garden. "You know my mother used to tend to this garden? I remember walking around with her whenever she would come out here and plant new roses or tend to the ones that were already here. They are such fond memories."
"Why don't you do it anymore," Goku asked a bit confused as he looked down at Chichi. He could see the faint sign of tears glistening in her eyes. Maybe I shouldn't have asked that.
"My mother died when I was only four," Chichi admitted. "It was so sudden, so quick that I didn't even get to say goodbye to her." Tears began to fall from her onyx orbs at the thought of her mother.
Using the pad of his thumb, Goku wiped away the tears that stained her cheeks then smiled, resting his hand against her cheek. "Don't cry Chichi, you're too pretty to do so."
Chichi smiled as her hand slowly came up to rest on his. "You mean that?"
Goku simply nodded then flashed her another smile before he looked back at the almost completely empty courtyard. "What do you say we get out of here? Everyone else has gone."
Chichi nodded before she took his hand from her face and entwined hers with it. "Let's go home."
Nodding, Goku and Chichi walked over to where the Ox King was standing. Tapping his shoulder, Chichi gained her father's attention.
"We're going to be heading off now." Chichi informed her father. "Goodnight Dad."
"Goodnight Chichi," Ox said hugging his little girl then he turned to Goku. "You make sure you take good care of my little girl and don't let anything happen to her, you hear?"
"Yes sir," Goku said nodding.
"Alright, go on you two, I'll see you when I see you," her father said waving at them as they began to walk off.
As they came to the edge of the courtyard just before the rose garden, Goku looked up and cupped his hand over his mouth. "NIMBUS!" he called out as loudly as he could. In a short amount of time, the little yellow cloud was seen coming in fast. Coming to an abrupt stop in front of the young bride and groom, the Nimbus stopped.
"Here, I'll help you up," Goku said as he lifted Chichi and placed her on the cloud. After she was situated, he hoped on beside her and the cloud took off into the dark, starry night sky leaving a trail of yellow light fading behind as the couple headed off to start their new lives together.
This was shorter than my usual but I enjoyed writing it. So review!
