R- Remember

Summary: Chuckie remembers his lovely wife after she leaves our planet Earth... intentionally. Around a week after, he gets the surprise of his life.

"Chuckie!" 21-year-old Shenzi Tuck, no Finster, giggled as her husband of almost a year, Chuckie Finster, lifted her up like a child without warning and laid her face-up on their bed. She was wearing a black and pink lace-trimmed babydoll that was open on the front, and for slight modesty, a pair of black and pink argyle "Drama Queen" boxer shorts over her black and pink panties.

Chuckie smiled as he watched his beautiful wife still laughing on the bed. She was the cutest, prettiest, most amazing girl in the whole world in his eyes. Not to mention her laugh was adorable. If only he knew that she was hiding something dark from him.

He jumped down on the bed, kicking his shoes off, and started a playful tickle attack on her curvy sides and flat stomach, all bared by her sexy babydoll top. Her squeals and laughs were like music to his ears as she squirmed, kicked, and tried to push his hands away. He couldn't help but laugh himself as he had playful, innocent fun with his wife.

As he tickled her sides, just where they curved in, he lunged his head down and blew a raspberry in her belly button. She squealed loudly and tried to shove his head away as he kept going. "Chuckie, stop!" She laughed. But instead, he crawled up to her left arm, held it up, and teasingly tickled her smooth, bare armpit with one finger and a devious grin. She squealed again, and through her hysterical laughter, she managed to shove him face-up next to her. He finally stopped, so she could catch her breath. "Ch-Chuckie," She giggled breathlessly, "You're s-silly."

"I know," He chuckled as he laid on his side, his right hand supporting his head, so he could look at her, "But you're fun to "be silly" with." He then saw the time on the clock in their bedroom. "Well, it's almost 9. How about I make you some breakfast?" He poked her growling tummy right in her belly button, making her squeal again and use her arms as a shield.

"S-sounds good," She agreed.

"I already know your favorite," He winked at her, "I'll be right back." He stood on the floor, and started walking to their kitchen.

"Wait!" He turned around at his wife's outburst.

"Yes?"

"Kiss me first?" She playfully pouted with fluttering eyelashes.

Chuckling in amusement, he leaned down and kissed her soft lips for a few seconds. "Okay, now I'll start on that breakfast, my love." After poking her tummy one last time, resulting in a squeak and a giggle, he headed for the kitchen. Little did he know, it was the last wonderful morning he ever had with her.

"We are here to celebrate the wonderful life of Shenzibeth Callie-Belle Tuck." Chuckie's head hung low as he listened to the speech at the funeral for his lovely wife. The black casket was open, so he couldn't bear to look at her laying still and lifeless. 22-year-old Frankie Tuck, Shenzi's stepsister, was crying softly, yet pitifully in her parents' arms.

What hurt him most was how she died; Judging by the bruise on her neck, she hung herself. She was seriously driven to suicide by local bullies. He wanted to kill all those heartless pricks in a slow, painful manner, so they could suffer the way he was suffering. Because of them, he lost his wife forever. All because they couldn't spare one wonderful person the pain of "cold, hard truths". He just couldn't comprehend it.

When people started filing out to head for the cemetery, Chuckie lingered behind at the casket, his heart shattering once more at his peacefully dead wife. He sighed shakily, with tears falling rapidly, as he stroked her hair from her forehead. "Shen," He whispered, "Why'd you do this? I..." He choked up, "I love you." He tenderly kissed her forehead, before he started sobbing in his hands. He helped in carrying the casket, along with his in-laws, as he stayed quiet with his head down.

He held back more sobs as the casket was closed and buried in the ground, never to be seen again. When his younger stepsister, 21-year-old Kimi Finster laid a comforting hand on his shoulder, he turned around and she let him cry in her shoulder.

After snapping back to reality, 22-year-old Chuckie Finster walked up to the grave stone that he visited every day since... it happened. It read "Shenzibeth Callie-Belle Tuck" along with her birth date "08/27/89", and the day she... passed on: "08/16/11". He set a black rose, one of her favorite flowers, at the stone and hid his face behind his arm, which rested on his knee. After only a week, visiting his wife's grave became a regular thing, no matter how much it depressed him. In his dreams, he could still see her face, hear her voice, feel her soft touch; He would wake up and feel sad about them being only dreams. His beautiful wife was never coming back.

From the corner of his eye, he saw an unnaturally bright light; He had to shield his eyes until it dimmed, then disappeared entirely. But when he looked again, he received the shock of his life: Sitting on the grave stone, right there in front of him, was Shenzi! She was wearing a white strapless corset dress with black lace trimming the neckline and skirt, black opaque tights, white knee-high boots with black laces, her favorite black rose earrings, and her black harlequin eyeglasses. She had small, white angel wings on her back, and a gold, almost yellow, halo hovering above her head. He let out a shaky gasp as they stared at one another. "She-she-she...?!"

"It's me," She smiled up at him, "I'm an angel now."

He smiled back at her, with pure love in his eyes. "You always have been one. You were, and are, always my angel." He went to hold her, but stopped himself. He wouldn't be able to touch her... right?

Shenzi seemed to read his mind, since she stepped down in the grass and embraced him with her head on his chest. "We can touch each other, Chuckie," She whispered to him.

He tightened his hold on her, as he buried his face in her hair and shoulder. "Oh Shenzi," He whispered with his hands in her dark hair and on her back, being careful of her wings. They both sat in the grass as tears leaked from his eyes. "I... I've missed you so much." He kissed the side of her head.

"I've missed you too," She mumbled with her face in his chest.

After they pulled back a bit, they shared a sweet, passionate kiss that lasted almost a whole minute. Chuckie's hands cupped her cheeks, with tears streaming down his, as her own hands rested on his upper arms. Tears rolled down her cheeks and on his hands. He wouldn't dare question her on why she committed suicide, in fear of making her leave in discomfort. When they separated, she laid on his chest and he held her tightly without making her uncomfortable. "What's it like in heaven, my love?" He asked her.

"It's wonderful," She smiled up at him, "I finally met my birth mother, and... yours too."

His breath hitched a bit. She met his birth mother in heaven? "Y-you did?"

"Mm hmm," She nodded, playing with his shirt collar. Her actions alone almost made him break down; He had missed that. "She loves that you picked me as your wife. She said you have good taste in girls."

He smiled at what she said. "Well, she's right," He stroked her soft hair, "I do have good taste in girls. What did you birth mother say to you?"

"She um, she's really happy that I married a good man," She replied, "And that... I have great taste in boys."

He couldn't help but chuckle. "Really?"

"Uh huh," She nodded, "And... she's really proud of me. And your birth mother is really proud of you."

Tears welled up in his eyes. He had a strong feeling that Melinda Finster and Maya Tuck had witnessed their marriage from their better place; Now, it's obvious that they did. With a shaky sigh, he laid his forehead on hers, and cupped her cheek as his tears finally fell. He felt her own tears roll down onto his hand as he held her closer. "I, I love you so much."

"I love you too," She whispered back.

"Then why'd you leave me?" He asked her by accident. Oops!

"I... uh..." She hesitated, "Be-because I couldn't handle the pain. Those insults cut me really deep."

"You could've gone to me," He gently told her, "I would've made you feel better."

"I know," She hid her face on his shoulder in shame, "But it's too late now; I can't go back." She choked up a bit. "I'm such an idiot."

"No, you're not," He insisted, "Suicide isn't exactly a smart move, but that doesn't make you an idiot."

"I, I was just hoping that you aren't mad at me." "N-no," He shook her head, "I'm not mad. I'm not happy, but I'm not mad. Just... really depressed."

She buried her face in his chest, and let soft cries out. "I, I'm so sorry."

He rubbed her back, with his head laying on hers, and rocked her back and forth a bit as he carefully sat against the grave stone. His heart jumped in surprise when his head suddenly fell and his arms jerked forward, as he suddenly had no support. When he looked down, he saw that Shenzi was turning transparent. "Wha-what's happening?"

"It's time," Her head hung in sadness, "I have to leave this Earth now."

"N-no!" He cried in despair. "You can't!"

"I'm sorry, this is beyond my control," She shook her head, "Don't forget me."

"Believe me, I won't." He caressed her cheek the best he could. "I love you."

"I love you too." And with that, she disappeared completely.

Now Chuckie was completely alone. He hid his face in his arms and knees as he let sobs out. After seeing his wife as an angel one last time, he didn't think he could make it through life without her. How could he work at his job, shop for groceries, and socialize without the love of his life by his side? He couldn't, that's how. He just couldn't. He then made a life-changing decision right there. He stood up, and drove his car to the river; With fear and hesitation, he sped up the vehicle, and made his move.

When he woke up, he shielded his eyes at the sudden bright, clear sky above him. He stood up, and his heart jumped when he realized; He was standing on a cloud! He was afraid of falling, but to his surprise, it completely supported his weight. After given access, he walked through the golden gates, and saw what looked like a small town in the sky. He wondered who he would meet up here? When he went to stretch his arms back, something prevented him from doing so; He looked back, and saw that he now had angel wings on his back! He looked in a body of clean water, and saw a yellowish-gold halo hovering above his head as well.

"Chuckie?" His head shot up, and saw who he thought was Shenzi. But after seeing that her hair reached her chin, he realized it was Maya.

"Mi-Mrs. Tuck?"

"Call me Maya," She smiled and hugged him, "It's so wonderful to finally meet my son-in-law."

He then hugged her back. "Um, Sh-Shenzi's father, her loving father, he told me about you. And uh... I, I can see where Shenzi got her beauty from."

She giggled as a blush grew on her cheeks. "Aww, you're too much. My little girl made a great choice for a husband." She kissed his cheek.

"Chuckie?" He looked behind his mother-in-law, and to his shock, he saw Melinda! She looked just like in her pictures!

"Mo... Mo... Mom?" He stuttered in awe. After Maya let him go, he ran to Melinda, and jumped in her arms so she hugged him tightly.

"Oh, my son," She cried with joy, "You've grown into such a handsome young man." Chuckie couldn't say anything out of shock. "I'm so proud of you."

He felt like he had to say something. "Um, I, I heard that you met Shenzi."

"Oh yes," Melinda nodded, "She's the sweetest girl I've ever met. You made the perfect choice for a wife."

"Speaking of which," Maya piped up, and pointed behind him.

He looked, and his heart started pounding with his eyes wide at what he saw; Shenzi! Right there in front of him! "Chuckie!" Since he couldn't move from shock, she ran to him and practically leapt in his arms. She cried in his shoulder with sheer joy as he hugged her tightly. "Oh my, Ch-Chuckie! I can't believe it!"

Like earlier, he couldn't say anything as he cried in her hair. Once again, he was able to touch her physically, and this time, she'll never fade away. They then rested their foreheads together as they stared into each other's tear-filled eyes. "Shenzi, I love you so much," He kissed her passionately on her lips, not minding that their mothers were watching.

"I love you too," She cried after he pulled away. She was still in her white and black dress from when she came to him in the cemetery, along with the tights, boots, and earrings. Maya and Melinda watched with tears of joy as their daughter and son, respectively, had their romantic, heartwarming reunion.

"You're so beautiful," He whispered with tears falling, as he stroked her hair.

"And you're so handsome," She whispered back, as she wiped his tears away. She didn't bother asking him how he came to heaven; Because she was too happy to be back in his arms, never to fade away from him ever again. Plus she saw what he did anyway, but didn't ask or interrogate him about it. When a tear rolled down her cheek, he kissed it away, ignoring the salty taste.

As the day rolled by, while their friends mourned for them on Earth, the couple spent time with their mothers, happy to be reunited or acquainted with them. Shenzi and Chuckie Finster knew one thing; With each other, the afterlife was going to be wonderful.

(A/N: Yeah, the ending with Chuckie in heaven was a bit rushed, but whatever. You know the disclaimer.)
