Chuck and Jill Versus the definition of a Tragedy.

Chuck returned home from a recent mission to see Jill sitting at her computer. He kissed her cheek before looking at her computer screen. He then said, "Danganronpa Fan fiction, this time? Naegiri fanfiction at that?"

Jill raised an eyebrow at this and asked, "You're surprised by me reading Naegiri fanfiction?"

Chuck replied, "When I first played Trigger Happy Havoc, I noticed a lot of similarities between the relationship between Makoto, Kyoko and Sayaka, to the relationship between Myself, Sarah and you. Makoto met a beautiful girl, Sayaka, who made a choice which made her a bad, yet redeemable person, and because of that choice the circumstances dictated that Makoto and Sayaka couldn't possibly have any relationship whatsoever and so Makoto ended up with an extremly secretive girl instead. You see why I don't care for Naegiri fanfiction. The tragedy that almost happened to me, happened to Makoto."

Jill asked, "Tragedy?"

Chuck continued, "It's funny. Ever since we got back together, a bunch of people have treated the fact that Sarah and I broke up as a tragedy of epic proportion. It wasn't. It was just something that happened that they didn't like. Do you know what would have been the real tragedy?" Jill shook her head, and Chuck continued, "Do you know what I suspect to be a common misconception about my time at Stanford before things went south? They believe that you were the only girl at school willing to give me the time of day."

Jill thought for a moment then said, "Well, No. Taylor and Lisa from my sorority would have dated you had you asked."

Chuck replied, "I know about Lisa. Lisa actually asked me out once, but I was too hung up on you at the time to accept, but Taylor? Really?" Jill nodded and Chuck continued, "Well not just them. I can't guarantee anything, but I probably could've gotten a date with Sharon from some of my classes, and Emily the Barista. However all of those girls made me think, "Why would I date them when I could probably get a date with Jill?" I chose to pursue a relationship with you over all those girls. I didn't choose Sarah over anyone. For a long time, the circumstances made her the ONLY woman around who I could be honest with about my life. It didn't help that I was surrounded by people who considered Sarah and I soulmates just because we were both fairly nice and decent people who have known each other for awhile. Got news for you. That can be used to describe many divorced couples. Contrary to popular belief, very few divorces are the result of some horrible act of betrayal. But I digress. The real tragedy would be if I didn't have a choice. With EVERYTHING I've had to deal with in my life, and everything I've done to help people, I, like Makoto, deserve to be with who I choose, not just who the circumstances chose for me, or who other people think I belong with."

Jill paused to think for a moment, "It is true. You do deserve to get what you want."

Chuck then said, "People acted like it was a moot point because they are sure I would never choose anyone over Sarah. They are in denial over the fact that you have always had a big advantage over her. That is, you and I hooked up under normal circumstances. When we met, there were no circumstances forcing us to get to know each other. We did it because we wanted to, and we discovered we had a lot in common. Under normal circumsances, like say, Sarah had given me nothing but mixed signals, like she did for over a year, and if I could be honest with them, I probably would have given Lou or Hannah a much more solid shot at winning me over. You know what, I want to thank you sweetheart."

Jill asked, "For what?"

Chuck replied, "Thinking about it, I think I know the reason why people thought I loved Sarah a hundred times more that you. Because I felt a hundred times more desperate with her than with you. Not only was Sarah the only woman around I could be honest with, but for a long time, I couldn't tell if she actually wanted to be here, or if she would be just as happy with some other CIA assignment. With you it was different, you know when I first saw you I thought I had no chance with a girl as hot as you, but then you started invited me places, like clubs, or shopping, or to the fitness center. Whenever you saw me sitting alone in the student union, you made a beeline for the empty chair next to me. You made it clear that you valued my companionship. What I want to thank you for, is just by being around, you made me feel less desperate. Oh, I still wanted to keep Sarah around, but I felt more casual about it. Is it any surprise I didn't let her get away with treating you badly behind my back?"

Jill smiled and said, "Chuck?"

Chuck replied, "Yes, sweetheart?"

Jill then said, "I want a baby."

Author's note: Allright folks, this basically sums up what Jill Vs. The Wedding was about. Giving Chuck a choice. Chuck deserves to have what ever relationship with Jill that he wants, and no, I don't buy that if Chuck ever got that choice, that if Jill was a viable workable choice, a choice that other people could respect even if its not what they prefer, that Chuck would definitely choose Sarah anyway. He might choose Sarah, but he might not. I still appreciate fics with Jill where Chuck turns her down but he is civil about it, because those are realistic.

A bunch of people have said that my depiction of these characters is OOC, because I tried to depict Chuck and Jill as a perfect couple. That wasn't what I was aiming for. I was only trying to depict Jill as someone who would hook up with Chuck under normal circumstances, like someone who would look at Chuck and think, "This guy would be a good match for me, as we have a lot in common." I say that I habe not been as OOC as most of those fics where Chuck and Sarah hook up under normal circumstances, and ALL of those fics where Chuck treats Jill like a piece of irredeemable garbage.
