Back into Each Others Arms
Fluffy cotton like clouds graced the sky and the bright light of the morning sun; brings the promise of a new day for Goku and Chichi who after being apart for 3 years are still very much in love.
The raven haired polished young woman of 21 cheerily gazes at the spectacular view by the window while waiting to finally land at West city airport. She couldn't hold back her joy and just found herself smiling. Any moment now she'll be in the arms of her Goku, and she'll see her papa and friends again. Chichi made the decision that, she wouldn't allow her past to spoil her joyful moment.
However painful memories seem so hard to shake; it requires strong will not to give in to the haunting feeling it gives. Chichi is one tough cookie and she can override those memories with her new thoughts of being back together with Goku again and continue where they left off.
Resting her back on the recliner and closing her eyes; the memories of that fateful night came back like a flash flood.
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 gently holds both of her hands and looked tenderly into her eyes. He then gave her a sad smile and requested, take a walk with me? Goku stood up and held out his hand. Chichi looked puzzled and yet smiled. She intertwined her hand with his and they went for a walk. When they reached the luscious garden of the villa, Goku gazed at the stars and Chichi followed suit. He then gently speaks; "Chi do you remember when you told me that, we don't have to rush things when I tried to convince you to move down our wedding date? Chichi quickly turned to look at Goku alarmed. And then she worriedly asked; "Sweetheart what this is about?"
Goku shifted to face Chichi and took her hands and held it close to his chest. He looked intently into her eyes. And then begins to say "Honey, I love you with all my heart and I am always here for you. It is my happiness that you fulfill your dreams to finish Culinary Arts in Paris. Now that we are no longer tied to the treaty, I think it will be best for us to take things slow."
Chichi couldn't believe what she just heard from Goku, she expected that Goku will pull her into a sweet embrace and drown her with an earth shaking kiss after she willingly proposed to him. She angrily yanked her hands from Goku's hold and screamed at him with all her might. "Whaaat?! Are you breaking up with me?! How dare you do this to me?! After all the effort I've put through to propose to you? This is what I'll hear from you?!"
Goku placed his hands on her shoulders to calm her down. "Chi please calm down, let me finish up what I'm saying so you'll understand what I mean." Chichi is just so overwhelmed with emotions that; she couldn't bear to hear what Goku is going to say next. She pushed him hard and ran away. After that night they never got the chance to talk until she went back to NSW. The gap between the young lovers lasted for 3 months.
Goku being the determined man that he is followed Chichi to NSW with his father's blessing. There they got the chance to clear things out. The fiery young lady realized that her sweetheart wasn't breaking up with her but just want to request that they will press pause on their engagement, to give them both the chance to fulfill their dreams. However Chichi felt demoted for being his fiance to just being a steady girlfriend. She grown cold towards Goku and decided to cool off. Despite their unpleasant setup; they didn't sever their ties to each other. Goku and Chichi still communicated and supported each other's undertaking eventhough physically apart. Chichi was in Paris and Goku was in L.A. In the 3 years that they've been apart Goku and Chichi realized that they couldn't live without each other and decided to rekindle their relationship.
Chichi felt a soft tap on her shoulder; she didn't realize she has fallen asleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw the flight attendant smiling down at her and said, "Miss King, we have already arrived at West City airport. Thank you for your patronage. We look forward that you choose Paris Airways again."
The raven beauty excitedly stands up and took her hand carry and kindly thanked the flight attendant.
Now at the King's estate everybody is waiting. They are all thrilled that they are going to see Chichi again. The most excited is Ofcourse Goku. He couldn't remember how many bottles of mixed drink he consumed just to calm down.
Krillin walked over to him and tapped his shoulder smiling said, "Hey buddy easy on those drinks. You don't want Chichi to see you drunk right?" Goku let out a nervous laugh and said "oh yeah! Thanks Krillin, I guess am just too excited." And then they both laughed.
Then the two best friends heard a commotion in the living room. They both rushed to see what's going on. And there she is, smiling brightly while exchanging pleasantries with her father and their friends. And then finally she caught sight of him. Both of them locked in each other's gaze.
The world around them has stopped revolving. And then Chichi finally speaks; sweetheart I missed you! Goku tenderly replied, I really missed you too! They walked towards each other and embraced each other tightly. Goku glanced at Mr. Ox and the big burly man took it as a permission to kiss his daughter. The jolly big man, smiled. Goku took it as an approval and so he bent down and drowned Chichi with a deep loving kiss.
It was like only yesterday when they almost broke up and spent 3 years apart to fulfill each of their dreams. Now they are back into each other's arms.
