~~hello readers. i apologize for my extended absence but i am home for the holidays. i went ahead and stayed up until 5am though just to finish this chapter. yay goku is back! hope you enjoy it, happy holidays :)~~

There he was, there he finally was. He looked just as I had remembered him, his looks were awe striking to me as ever. Oh god my heart…it's racing. My breaths picked up speed.

"Luna yer shaking?" Estelle turned to me suddenly, finally taking her eyes off Goku. Her cheeks were pink. I had to go to him. I had to get up.

"Whoa wat the fuck iz haappening?" Julian said from behind us.

Clumsily I scrambled out from under Estelle, not bothering to adjust my wrinkled dress, and sprinted to the man I had so desperately wanted to see right now. The shocked look on his face was priceless bringing a wide smile to my face. I raised my hands and with one swift jump I reached my arms around his neck and clung to him. I buried my face in his shoulder, laughing, as I felt his strong arms wrap around my waist, my feet losing contact with the floor.

"I can't believe it's you…" I whispered into his shoulder, grasping tightly onto his clothing. I was so happy, pure bliss was flowing through my entire body. It felt so amazing to be held after so long, and by Goku no less. I pushed off his shoulders, still giggling, so that I could look at his face. I used one hand to brush the hair out of my face and then placed it on his cheek. His face was so warm, his cheeks were bright red and his gaze was on me. I watched his eyes travel down my torso and up to meet mine, surely my cheeks were pink by now. His mouth opened to speak but he remained silent, he just continued to look at me.

"Uh Luna? Ar yoou gunna star explainin' soon?" Estelle asked, I had completely forgotten that Goku and I weren't the only two in the room.

"It is you…Luna…" Goku said softly, his hands traveled further up my back to hold the back of my neck.

"Hahaha Luna!" Goku began to laugh loudly as he pulled me in for another forceful hug. I was thrown into his shoulder again, this time able to inhale deeply, remembering his scent. This was all so surreal. I could feel the room spinning all of a sudden. I opened my eyes that had been shut in bliss to see that it wasn't just my head, he was literally spinning me. Oh god no.

Without being given a chance to explain I slipped out of his grasp, falling to the floor on my knees. With one hand over my mouth I scurried to the nearest restroom. Slamming the door behind me, I dropped to my knees, held my hair up with one hand and began to heave into the porcelain toilet bowl. Fuuuuuuuuck. Why god why?! I erupted the only contents left within me: the pretzels and nuts I had snacked on earlier and not to mention the large amounts of alcohol I had consumed. I could hardly keep my thoughts straight, the throbbing in my head was too intense. I leaned back against the tub, using a washcloth to clean up my face and the sweat I had worked up. I took several deep breaths and starred down at my wrinkled dress. It always had to be worst case scenario for me didn't it? Cautiously I stood to my feet, feeling slightly better except for the sharp pain in my head. The fluorescent lights in the bathroom mirror didn't do me good in the slightest. My vision was blurred as I made out the make up smeared under my eyes, my hair laying lifeless and tangled from my head and both straps of my dress that had fallen below my shoulders. More cleavage than I ever allowed to reveal was showing and my eyes were bloodshot. I quickly adjusted myself and freshened my mouth with the complimentary mouth wash by the sink. After spitting I took one last look at myself in the mirror. You are one enormous idiot Luna.

I could suddenly hear muffled laughter coming from the living room. I exited the restroom, struggling to keep my balance, to find out what all the commotion was about.

"Hahahaha yoou hav got tu be kidding meh!" Estelle was laughing, still on the floor like I had left her, but this time Goku was sitting besides her. My eye quickly caught her hand on his forearm. Julian was no where to be found.

"That wasn't exactly a joke haha. Luna! I was just about to go check up on you!" Goku leapt to his feet and was instantly at my side. For a second I had forgotten every event that had taken place before that moment. There was only him towering before me, concerned with the those eyes that I'd never thought I'd see anytime soon.

"Are you ok? I'm sorry for rough handling you before. I was so excited to see you I forgotten to hold back on my strength. To be fair you had a surprisingly tough grip on me haha." He smiled with one arm behind his head, I couldn't help but smile back at him.

"Iy'm alright. I did this tu myself…I haad a little tu much tu drink. I'm sorry Goku…" I said drunkinly and ashamed, looking down at my bare feet. I had never been so embarrassed with myself. What had I done?

"Luna! Where haave you been hiding this hunk? He jus' finished tellin' meh that he came tha second he heard yer voize callin' fer him! Canyu believe it?" Estelle appeared, stumbling to his side and hanging onto Goku's great arm. Instinctively, I clenched my fists tightly and then proceeded to let my knees give out so that I could fall to the floor. In a flash Goku was kneeling besides me, cradling me in his mighty arms. Estelle was left with a gaping mouth, standing on her own. I intentionally let my head fall into Goku's chest.

"Doesn't look like Luna is feeling too well…Would you mind showing me to her room?" Goku asked Estelle. I kept my eyes closed to keep up the exhaustion facade, I should have known Estelle would try something the moment she laid eyes on him. Where was Julian anyway?

"Uh right thiz way…" She murmured disappointedly. I knew she was a good friend but I was all too aware of her weakness for hot guys. I almost giggled at the thought that she might've wet herself the moment she saw Goku.

"I'll take care of Luna from here. You see she is a dear friend of mine who I haven't seen in a long time. I'd like to stay with her if that's alright." The muffled sound of his voice from his chest put me at great ease. It wasn't until seconds later when Estelle began responding that I realized what he had just said.

"Oh gawd Luna wood love that! Go righ' ahead I hav sum buizness of my own tu take care of!" She giggled, the sound of her voice trailing off and ending with the sound of a door closing. Another door closed, I had assumed it belonged to the one we were in. I felt one of his arms disappear from under me and my skin suddenly met the cool cotton sheets of the bed as he pulled the thick covers over me. The bed was amazingly comfortable, I knew I'd have no problem falling asleep, especially now that I had a Saiyan watching over me. I could hear the flick of the light switch and the bed began to shift as a new weight appeared besides me. Fuck, I was happy. More relieved than anything that I hadn't scared Goku away and he actually wanted to take care of me…there was an unfamiliar feeling of peace that set within me. I continued to replay his words in my head…I'd like to stay with her…

"It's so good to see you Luna…I have so much to tell you. Sleep well." He huskily whispered to me. The touch of his warm fingers surprised me as he softly brushed back fallen hair from my face. Yes…I'm sure of it…this is what peace feels like…
