Author's Note: 106 REVIEWS!!!!! Oh my god, thank you!
I have a blog up and running now! Well, I have for a while, but I haven't posted it. I don't think I did at least.anyway! Go visit it! www.serenitytenshi.blogspot.com If you're able to take some time and read it, you'll see some of the reasons I can't focus on writing and can never finish the damn chapter!
Well I hope I can make up my lateness with 8 pages! 8 PAGES YOU GUYS! That isn't too shabby!
Okay, well the name of the chapter, Last Night, TODAY, and Tonight, it's a play on words, not to mention foreshadowing. If you're smart, you'll figure it out.

January 1: 9:36 AM
I woke up before Goku and took zero time as to get into the shower. I quickly dressed in my boys green khaki pants and a black sweatshirt. I put my hair into pigtails. I went out to check on Goku, and sure enough, he was still asleep. I scribbled a note out to him.
'Morning Love,
I went down into the lobby to check out the breakfast situation. I know that you'll be hungry when you wake up, so I'll get ya something and a cup of coffee. Sound good? I'll be back in about 15 minutes.
Chi-Chi'
I capped the pen, smiled mischievously, and uncapped the pen again.
'P.S. That was some great shit last night.'
Quietly ripping the paper off of the pad and placing it on his bed, I then grabbed my card key off the dresser and went downstairs.
January 1: 10:02 AM
When I entered the room with what looked like a small breakfast bar of food, Goku was in the shower and singing an off key tune. He was out and dressed five minutes later.
"Okay! Now hurry up and finish eating. We're going to hail a taxi and go some place special okay?" He said taking a sip of coffee.
"Special? Where?" I asked, mouth full of eggs.
"You'll soon find out." He smiled and winked.
January 1: 10:58 AM
"C'mon! Do you wanna be late?" He asks, taking my hand and running toward a crowd as soon as we got off the taxi.
We fought our way through the mob of people. The mob was not about to get up their spots, so they pushed us back. Goku fought back with words.
"Watch what you're doing you (plural noun)! I oughta kick your (noun)! We have a right to be here just like you (truly rude adverbs)!" He shouted. I giggled. [Damn, that was fun to write! I wish I had more!]
We made it to the front of the crowd. I know, I'm shocked too. We were on the outside set of the Today show. It was totally surreal. I looked through the window and saw the personalities I watched every weekend.
"This is great!" I said to Goku. I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.
January 1: 11:15 AM
The camera crew was getting ready and the outside; weekend reporter came out to see if there was anyone she could talk to live on the air. I pulled my hat down to cover my ears.
Goku somehow caught her attention and motioned for her to come over.
"Hello! And you are?" She asked with a smile on.
"Goku Son." He grinned widely. "Can I be on TV?"
I slapped my forehead. "Be a little more straight-forward, love?"
"Not by much." He said smiling at me.
The reporter laughed. "You have charisma. Bert!" She called over to a cameraman. "Hook me up with a mic and focus on this couple."
"Couple? Oh no, no, no!" I said backing up into Goku's coat.
"No?" The reporter asked.
"Chi-Chi! It's national TV! Let's do it!" Goku whispered into my ear.
I sigh. "Okay."
"30 seconds!" The camera guy yells. The reporter comes over and stands by us. She primps herself and smiles at everyone around her.
"20 seconds!" Everyone around us goes quiet. It's not my imagination either. No one is speaking.
"10 seconds!" The reporter looks into the camera and smiles her Hollywood smile. The cameraman counts backwards on his fingers. Five.four.three.two.points at the reporter.
"I'm outside with the crowd this New Years morning!" The mob that once shoved us becomes overjoyed and outrageously loud. "And this couple caught our eye! Please, what are your names and where are you from?"
"Chi-Chi King."
"Goku Son, and we're from Ann Arbor, Michigan!"
"Wow! Why are you here in New York?" She asked.
"On Christmas Eve I opened up a package from him and it was a plane ticket to New York, and I guess this was one of his many surprises." I smiled.
The crowd does an 'awww!' on cue. I blush.
"Is there anyone you want to say hi to?" The reporter asked.
"Yeah. Our parents, our friends, Vegeta, Krillin." He said.
"Maron! I love ya girl!" I shout.
"And a congrats to Chris and Sarah, our friends who are leaving tomorrow for their honeymoon. Good luck and it's great to have met you!" He said.
"Well thank you. And now, back to Katie and Matt." The reporter smiles and ten seconds later, she looks at us and says thanks.
January 1: 1:23 PM
"I'm bored. What do you wanna do?" Goku asked me. He was lying on the bed looking up at the ceiling and drumming on him stomach.
"I dunno. What do you wanna do?" I ask.
"I dunno."
A knock came on the door.
"House keeping?" I thought out loud and got up to answer it.
I looked through the peephole and saw Chris and Sarah. I unlatched the chain and opened the door.
"Dude! You got us drunk!" I said to them excitedly.
Sarah squealed and came in to hug me. "We saw what you guys did and we wanna say thanks!"
"No problem! Come on in!" I said.
They came in and Goku sat up. "Hey guys! What have you been up to?" Goku asked.
"Jack shit nothing. We were really bored, and we remembered that you guys were probably back from the Today show and wanted to see if you wanted to do anything." Chris said sitting on the bed.
"Hey! How come they can figure out at least one thing to do and we've been sitting here for about an hour trying to think of something to do?" I said sitting on the floor with my back against the dresser.
Silence.
"Let's go swimming." Goku said.
January 1: 1:31 PM
We all found ourselves in the exact same predicament as when we met, only things were much more casual. We seemed like we had been friends forever.
"You know, we were thinking this morning, we want you get your address and phone number." Chris said to both of us. Sarah smiled and nodded.
"Addresses and phone numbers you mean? You forgot plural. We're still not married." Goku said.
"Yet." I said non-chalantly. Goku tried to look me in the eyes, and I played a game not to let him do so.
"Well ya know. We're looking at moving up to Chicago or Detroit. We want to keep in touch with you." Sarah said.
"Sure!"
No one spoke for a while.
"Its really kind of too bad tomorrow is your last day. I'm really not sure what we're gonna do tomorrow without you guys. I'm too cheap for Broadway, but not so cheap as to let her get bored tomorrow." Goku said. I felt bad for him.
"Well, do you want to club tonight? It's the last night we really can together." Chris said lamely. I had a feeling he was out of ideas himself.
"Oh no no no! We have plans for tonight, just not tomorrow." Goku said smiling. "You're more than welcome to join us."
"What are we doing?" I asked him. He shook his head. "Oh come on!" I whined. "Tell me this one time for god sake!"
He sighed and looked at Sarah and Chris. "We're going to Rockefeller Center to ice skate."
"You're not gonna be able to get in. They have a limit of who all can skate and it's a really busy night to skate." Sarah said with a bit of edge in her voice.
"They take reservations this time of year. We'll be able to skate." Goku said smiling sweetly.
Sarah looked at us angrily. "Well that's great for you." Chris looked at Sarah in shock.
"Sarah, what's wrong?" Chris asked. Sarah kept staring at me with that bitter expression. "Christ Sarah, they can do shit without us! Just chill, we'll find something to do."
Sarah rose violently. "Fine! See if I really even care!" She stomped out of the hot tub, grabbed her towel, and left the three of us alone.
"Uhh what was that?" Goku asked.
"She's been acting like that a lot lately. I thought that it'd go away after the wedding, but she was like that last night. We were watching pay- per-view last night and all of a sudden she freaked out because she said that a comedy was only her second choice when we could have watched a romance." Chris said. "I didn't want to marry someone like that.but women are like that right?"
I shook my head. "No. There's something wrong, and you need to figure it out. Quickly too. Because it's too early.no. That's your own business."
"What?" Chris asked eagerly.
"Nevermind. It was entirely inappropriate for me to even think about."
January 1: 8:55 PM
Hand in hand, Goku and I were gliding around the rink. "Do you want to have kids?" I asked Goku, seeing a couple, skating around with a three year old between them.
"Yeah. I think I'd make a good father." Goku said smiling at the young family.
"Me too. How many kids?" I asked.
"Two, a boy and a girl. I want the boy to be strikingly handsome like his dear old dad of course." Goku boasted. I squeezed his hand tightly.
"Poor little boy." I teased, shaking my head in fake sorrow. He stuck his tongue out at me. "I want two kids. A little boy and a little girl too."
"What about names then?" He asked. "Hagome if it's a girl. I dunno why. I just love the name Hagome. For a boy? I like Akito. I used to baby-sit for a little boy named Akito when I was about 13. He was about 4 at the time. He fell in love with me and asked me to marry him." I laughed. "He was so adorable!"
"Why don't you baby-sit for him anymore?" Goku asked.
"His dad had an overdose one night and killed himself. Akito's mom didn't want to live where they were anymore, so they went out to Oregon. We're like pen pals now, but it's sad that I never get to see him anymore. If I have a little boy, I hope he's half as cool as he was." I said mulling over the memories.
"I don't care about girls. Anything you'd say, I would be game with me. But I want a boy named after my adoptive Grandfather."
"What's his name?"
"Gohan."
"Oh. I guess it's kinda cute."
"What's wrong with it?" He asked.
"Well.when I was in kindergarten, there was a really mean shit faced little brat that would always pull my hair." I said.
"Other than me?" Goku asked smiling.
"Yeah, but you were my neighbor at the time. And I had just met you. We weren't even going to the same school." I said looking at him.
"Go on."
"Well he'd always pull my hair and put glue all over my drawings and wrecked my towers and step on my towel during nap time." I found myself almost getting worked up.
"You need to let it go." Goku said, with a trace of entertainment in his voice.
"Anyway, his name was Gohan."
We skated around in silence for a while. "I'm glad I changed, and finally admitted that I liked you." Goku said.
"You didn't even admit it. That was more like me." I raised my pierced eyebrow at him.
"Yeah, and yelled at me in the process!" Goku said looking rejected.
"Oh come on! If I wouldn't have yelled at you, you'd be stuck with Bulma. Poor her."
"Dammit! That's the second time in like ten minutes! You're so mean!" Goku whined.
"Oh you know I love you." I said squeezing his hand hard.
"You do?" He said looking rather skeptical.
"Let me just show you." I put my gloved hands into his and reached up as far as I could and kissed him so that he'd never forget that I did indeed love him.
"Yeah okay." He said.
"Yeah." I smiled and winked at him.

I'm so incredibly sorry of how long it's taking for me to get this stupid chapter up! I've never encountered such a tough writers block. I would LOVE to have you e-mail me and suggest your ideas! Now, don't review with them (though I adore reviews hehe), because that would spoil it.
Now the last thing I'm trying to do is to be cheap. I'm just simply out of ideas. Well, I know how it'll end, and what'll happen after this, but I need filler. I need things for them to do! I know that in a few chapters, there's the prom. Do you have a funny predicament they can get into? E-mail me and I make a story around it!
I'll dedicate the chapter to you, and give you full credit. But please, only serious entries. If you think I'm gonna cross DBZ with Harry Potter people or any character from another story line, you have anything thing coming!
Be spontaneous! Have fun with it! Help meeeee!
Hugs and Kisses, Serenity Tenshi
