August 24, 2013 Yale University Graduate School New Students Orientation Day!
The huge auditorium is full packed with new students from different States and countries. Most of the students who arrived at the orientation day, have already found a spot where to sit except for Chichi King who is still browsing the auditorium to find a best of the students chatting echoed and then the tapping of the microphone signaled that the orientation is about to start.
Chichi felt someone tapping her shoulder, when she turned her head; a handsome lavender long haired young man, with expressive blue eyes and muscular body is smiling at her. He politely introduced himself. "Hello there miss, my name is Trunks" Chichi replied in the same tone of voice."Hello Trunks, I am Chichi". After Trunks introduced himself to Chichi, he offered to help her find a gently declined claiming that she already found one. The 2 parted 's the first time King's Enterprise heiress meets the son of the Technology giant Vegetesai.
Chichi's first week in Yale went well. She met new friends in her class too. Namely Cielo, Krys, Zerine and Ronitz. They are her blockmates. Chichi is enjoying her campus life in New Haven Connecticut with the exception of not hearing from Goku for exactly 15 days now. This started to make Chichi worry and irritated. She called their friends back in Tokyo to ask, if they heard from Goku but they said he hasn't called either. One day she attempted to call him again. Chichi irritatingly punches the numbers on her phone keypads when she heard a voice beside her."Chichi go easy on the buttons." Upon hearing her name she tilted her head and saw the super cuty Trunks guy grining at her. Chichi blushed because of embarrassment. She said"Uh hi there Trunks how long have you been standing there?" Trunks gently replied. "Not that long. Hey do you like to grab a cuppa coffee? I 'm on my way to Frappes and Blends" Chichi softly turned down the offer. "Thanks for the kind gesture but you see, I am making an important call." Trunks cleared his throat and sheepishly asked, "Do you mind if I ask who it is you're calling?" Chichi slightly blushed and replied. "I am calling my long time boyfriend Goku. He is at the North Region for a business expansion." Trunks nodded his head and said. "Well Goku is a very lucky guy. If I were him, I won't let you go a thousand miles away from me." Winking at Chichi he turned around and walked away." Chichi smiled and then later shrugged it off.
20 minutes have passed and Chichi is still standing on the same spot where Trunks left her. Trying her best to contact her boyfriend Goku while pacing back and forth as she stressfully punches the keypads on her phone. Chichi didn't notice Trunks approached her."Still no luck? Here I got you some Chocolate mint Frappe and a Cashew oatmeal cookie. Your girl friend Cielo said these are your favorite." Chichi smiled shyly and took the coffee and the cookie and said."Geez Trunks thanks! You know you don't have to do this right?" Trunks flashed her with a bright smile that made her blush." I know I don't have to but I want to" See you around." And then he walked by her and left. Chichi just stood there with her mouth agape.
Many days passed, Chichi and Trunks became very close friends. He always hangs out with Chichi and her friends. Trunks even researched about North Region so he'll learn about the telecommunications system there and told Chichi.
After class Trunks approached Chichi. "Hi do you have a minute?" Chichi looked puzzled and asked "Yes why?"Trunks started to explain why Chichi failed many times in contacting Goku. "Chichi they don't have a Cell site and WI – Fi satellite in North Region's Jingle village due to the frequent snow storm. That's why the only way you can contact Goku is by a regular phone line which can mostly access domestic calls only. However there is a building called muscle tower 3kms from Jingle village, where telecommunications are advanced. According to the information I got, a tourist is given 2 days in a week to use their telecommunication system for important calls." After hearing what Trunks said, she thought for a while and asked." Trunks is it a one way call or a two way call?" Trunks rubbed his chin and awkwardly replied."Only outbound calls are allowed in muscle tower." Upon getting the new information, Chichi got very sad because she has to wait for another 15 days before she could talk to Goku again.
1 month have past and still no call from Goku. Chichi became depressed. This affected her concentration to a point that she has to take a leave of absence in her classes because she became sickly. Seeing her condition and being the son of a Technology magnate, Trunks hacked into the main frame of the telephone system of muscle tower in order to reach Goku. He did his best but it wasn't good enough because, he wasn't able to talk to Goku but a certain said Goku already left at 5 o'clock in the morning at Asian time. Trunks decided not to tell Chichi because it might hurt her all the more. He is doing this for Chichi because he deeply cares for her.
Chichi recovered with the help of her friends Trunks in particular. She went back to her classes and was able to makeup for her absences and got straight A's. His friendship is a big help to fill in the void of Goku's detachment from her. But something happened that it almost destroyed their friendship.
In the student's talent festival, Trunks and Chichi danced Tango into the tune of Sway by Pussycat Dolls. Their dance number broke the house down. The two of the them looked so fabulous together on stage. Chichi wore a Metallic Black Spaghetti strapped mini dress that showed off her beautiful toned arms and her long and slender legs; matched with a 4 inch hilled ballroom dancing shoes. Trunks wore a long sleeved white polo that is open from the neck down to the chest and a silk Black slacks and a fashionable male ballroom dancing shoes. And the second dance number they performed is Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing. Their class got the grand price. During the victory party, Trunks and Chichi were together the entire time. He offered to walk Chichi home which she happily obliged. When they reached the frontdoor of Chichi's condo unit, Trunks bent down to kiss Chichi's lips; Chichi turned her head to the other said."Trunks you are a great friend and I care for you a lot but; eventhough Goku and I have not been talking lately, we are still very much together and what we have is real. I cannot just throw that away." Trunks face hardened. He retorted "Are you sure he feels the same way about you? Howcome he doesn't even call you? This past month has been an ordeal! My heart ached seeing you so sick and depressed! And yet you still wait for him?! Chichi! Goku is not the only man whom you can love! He doesn't even deserve you! With that, Chichi slapped Trunks so hard that it left a mark on his handsome face. The slap silenced Trunks and then he just turned around and walked away. Chichi was taken aback with that she's done; she ran after him but he is already gone.
The next day, at around 8o'clock Chichi heard a knock on her door. She rushed to the door thinking it is Trunks. When she opened the door, she was caught by surprise. She was stunned that all she could say in a muffled voice was. "Goku"? It took 20 seconds for Chichi to take it all in. Goku started to speak. "Honey are you just going to stare at me all day?"Chichi stuttered when she replied. "Nn no! Come come in honey."When Goku stepped inside Chichi's pad. He lifted and twirled her around and kissed her has forgotten how mad she was at Goku for not communicating with her for a month. The important thing, Goku is with her two of them didn't break the kiss. Chichi wrapped her legs around Goku. He gently placed her on the edge of the kitchen table so she will be comfortable. They stayed kissing and caressing for 30 minutes. After sharing a heated moment, they stayed cuddled together on Chichi's soft lavender said"Honey I missed you so much. It was so stupid of me not to come sooner." Chichi lovingly caressed his chest and replied."I missed you so much too.I am very happy now that you're here." When they are about to start another round of making out, the doorbell rang. Goku answered the door. He saw a young attractive lavender haired guy."Hi I am Goku" extending his lavender haired guy did likewise."Hi my name is Trunks. I am one of Chichi's with his usual friendly tone said."You wanna come inside? Chichi's making breakfast, I'm sure she'll be happy if you could join us."Trunks felt awkward and decided to decline the offer in a nice way said."Thank you Goku but Chichi will be happier if she gets to spend an alone time with you. After all you've been away for a month."Goku replied in a friendly tone."Oh alright, I'll just tell her you came by and please to meet you again Trunks." Without Goku's knowledge, Chichi has been eavesdropping in their conversation. When Goku closed the door, she quickly resumed preparing their breakfast. And then they feasted on it.
The whole day had been blissful for Chichi because Goku is already with toured Goku to the Campus grounds of YALE. She introduced Goku to her girl friends and they had dinner in one of the popular restaurants in town.
When it was just the two of them in Chichi's home. Goku pulled Chichi in a tight embrace and whispered to her."Chichi I've been looking forward to do this for so long". Chichi looked intently into Goku's eyes and asked. "What is it honey? Goku knelt down and brought out a box and opened it. It revealed an 18 karat Amethyst colored diamond engagement ring."Chichi will you do me the honor to be my wife?"Chichi's heart jumped for joy and she affectionately said."Yes Honey, I would love to be your wife." Goku and Chichi sealed it with a kiss.
