For Better of for Worse
Drabble by: Sarah Slutz
I waited patiently for my husband to come back home. I had already had two full days to prepare myself for the shock of my life, as Bulma had so well put it.
My wonderful, handsome husband now inhabited the body of a stranger. An alien purple monster with sharp horns on the sides of his head and stern features.
"At least he does have two arms, two legs, ten fingers, ten toes, two eyes..." Bulma had rambled on as she had tried to explain what had happened back in Namek.
The nerve of my husband, thinking that he could get rid of me that easily. When I said I do and repeated our wedding vows after the priest, I meant every word of them. For better or for worse. I did not care how he looked now, he was still my husband.
Finally, I heard the front door of our home open and he walked in. Every one of my senses were attuned to the man I had loved half my life.
He was right behind me and for a moment, I hesitated before turning around. Would I be able to handle it?
I stiffened my spine and scolded myself. I was a princess, the daughter of the Ox King, wife of the strongest being in several galaxies, at least. If not the universe.
Finally, I turned around and get my first look at him. To my credit, I didn't faint for the first time in my life.
I could see him shinning from those strange alien features and I swallowed a gasp before it left my throat. A couple of seconds later I took a deep breath and smiled tremulously.
"For better or for worse, Goku, I will always love you."
