Once and Again Chapter 13
I do not own all of Dragon ball. Because if I do, it will be filled with GoChi scenes until it makes everyone sick. But I don't. It is owned by the one and only Akira Toriyama…
Chichi's Proposal
Amidst the busy West city; there is a newly opened coffee shop along the Cherry Blossoms Park. The coffee shop is cozy and tranquil which is ideal for the four vibrant ladies to hold their friendly yet important meeting. Of course it is the fiery Queen of Goku's heart, which spearheaded the meeting. "Ladies you gotta help me!" Chichi pleaded to her friends. Her loyal assistant Kayku gently replied." What can we help you with?" Yeah Chi what's going on in that mind of yours? Bulma asked a little bit alarmed. Chichi sighed and took a sip of her Chocomint Javakula said with sparkle in her eyes. "I'm gonna propose to Goku!" Bulma, Kayku and Launch stared at her in shock. After half a minute of deafening silence; Launch finally speaks. "Uh Chichi aren't you engaged already? What's with this proposal?" Chichi it seems like too much caffeine has not done you any good." Bulma remarked a bit amused. "Chichi what made you come up with such an idea?" Kayku respectfully asked though a bit puzzled.
Chichi looked at the 3 of them straight in the eyes and begins to explain everything that has transpired 3 days ago; including the details of her plan.
3 days ago at 10 o'clock in the morning at the Sons Estate
On the elegant home office of Mr. Gohan Son Sr. Sitted on the elegant sofa side by side are Chichi and Goku while Mr. Gohan Sr. accepted the video call of Mr. Ox straight from NSW. After the pleasantries; Goku's father begins the discussion which made both Goku and Chichi to drop their cheerful demeanor and turned serious. "Goku, Chichi, Mr. Gohan addressed them solemnly. "Mr. Gyumao and I have been talking recently. We both realized how much you and Chichi love each other and you have proven yourselves to us that, you can make your engagement work even without the engagement treaty." Goku, Chichi and Mr. Gyumao are listening intently to Mister Gohan Sr. as he continued to speak. "He and I have amended our agreement regarding your engagement. You are now both free to decide on the direction of your relationship." Goku and Chichi were stunned after hearing everything what Mister Gohan Sr. Has said but Goku managed to reply. "Father, sir, does this mean Chichi and I, are no longer required to stay engaged? Chichi couldn't help but to react. Glaring at her father on the computer screen, she strongly inquired. "Papa are you breaking us apart? Is this just your gentle way of saying we can go on our separate ways? Papa how could you?! just when Goku and I are very much in love!" Goku rubbed Chichi's back to calm her down.
Mr. Gyumao looked lovingly at his daughter and tenderly replied. "Sweetie don't be sad. Gohan and I are not breaking you two apart. What we meant is that you can freely decide whether you want to carry on with your engagement and get married when you both turn 21, or just be in a relationship for now and get married when you think you're ready."
"Sir," Goku respectfully remarked. "Thank you very much for your trust in us. We assure you that Chichi and I are going to carefully consider our decision. But I want to tell you that, we love each other so much and we truly look forward to spend the rest of our lives together." Chichi clings to his arm and then added. "Yes Papa, Goku and I do want to get married."
Both Mr. Gyumao and Mr. Gohan Sr. We're delighted to their children's response. Mr. Gohan said, we did make the right decision to trust you both.
Present day at the coffee shop
"That's what happened. So I want to make this night special for me and my Goku." But isn't Goku should be the one to propose to you?" Kayku asked concerned. Chichi is starting to get annoyed replied; "look I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem and besides, I want to make it up to Goku anyway." With that the ladies agreed to carry out Chichi's plan.
11:00 in the morning at Yamcha's Apartment
The blasting sound of the television is ringing in the living room as the 4 men are watching their favorite animation The Justice League. "So Goku how did the meeting with your father and Mr. Gyumao go?" Krillin asked while munching almonds and drinking a bottle below zero of Vodka. Goku shot his friends his signature Son grin and cheerfully replied. "Well nothing much, both of our fathers permitted us to decide on the direction of our relationship. If were gonna stay engaged or we'll call off the engagement and just be in a relationship for now."
Yamcha shot Goku a thoughtful look and asked a daring question. "Haven't you considered taking a break from each other and reevaluate your future? I mean you're still young to be tied down. I remember you once told me that, you envy us because we are not bonded with legalities when it comes to dating unlike you. Now is your chance." Yeah Goku, why don't you try dating someone else again? Anyway you are no longer tied to your father's agreement with Mr. Gyumao right? Plus Misa just broken up with her boyfriend; according to the grapevine, her latest boyfriend couldn't measure up to you."
Goku frowned at his friends and said." Look guys, I know you are just looking out for me but sadly in the wrong way. Do you realize what you're asking me to do? Drop it alright! With that Yamcha and Krillin shut their mouths and continued to watch the television show. Tien then speaks up; "Goku we've seen how much you've matured over the last 7 months since you and Chichi got engaged. And we admire you for that; There's nothing wrong if you decide to alter your future plans a bit. But still it is up to you Goku, we respect your decision."
Goku then replied with much seriousness in his voice. " I appreciate your concern towards me. But you know how much I've grown to love Chichi. I don't see myself apart from her either now nor in the future."
After several hours at the Sons Vineyard Villa; the patio is decorated with flowers and a romantic dinner table for two is prepared. There is also a stringed quartet playing in the background. The servants also helped Chichi in creating a delightful ambiance. And everything is going to plan until it took 3 hours for Goku to arrive and Chichi is fumed. The good thing is, her bffs are there to extinguish Chichi's ire.
Now it's just the two of them. Chichi looked at her Goku in the eyes lovingly and said. "Goku I am sorry if I'd given you a hard time on the advent of our engagement. You've been nothing but patient and understanding. I want you to know that I love you so much. I can't stand being apart from you anymore." Goku sent her his most cheerful grin that made Chichi weak in the knees. She then continued. "Sweetheart will you marry me?" Goku is stunned. He didn't expect this from Chichi; after all they haven't made a decision yet if they are going to call off the engagement and just be in a relationship for the time being.
Goku holds both of her hands and looked tenderly into her eyes...
Author's Note: I know I know! I am such a bad person for leaving you with the cliff hanger. But I want to hear from you guys. Will Goku accept Chichi's proposal? Or His friends finally convinced him to call off the engagement for the time being? I'd like to hear what you have got to say guys!
Do you like for Goku and Chichi to remain engaged or not for the moment?
