GoChi Week, Day 5 - Energetic

A/N: Alright, so idk if this really fits with the theme but…eh. I was gonna have it also tie in with Day 3 (Butterflies/Anticipation) since I had missed that day but… yeah that didn't exactly pan out lol. Also posted onto tumblr and ao3. Oh! And if you're wondering what happened to Day 4, I actually did a video for that day. It's over on YouTube, where my username is the same as it is here, and it's called prize fighter (goku/chi-chi).

Another Pretty Piece

"Come on, Chi!"

Chi-Chi smiled and shook her head as she was practically dragged out of her house by her husband. Goku beamed at her as he led her towards the nimbus, a noticeable bounce to his step that she hadn't really seen from him before. He was certainly excited to show her the "thing" he had found.

"Alright, alright!" She tried to sound exasperated at his actions as she struggled to match his long strides, but Chi-Chi could not keep the laughter from her voice. His joy was simply too contagious. "What's so special that you're willing to put off lunch for to show me?"

Goku hopped onto the nimbus and helped pull her up next to him. "Gifts are supposed to be a surprise," he teased, using the exact words she had told him mere weeks ago for their first anniversary.

Chi-Chi's heart skipped a beat, her face instantly heating up as her stomach began to do small flips. Gift? There was nothing special about that day, so far as Chi-Chi could remember...

Goku didn't do spontaneous gifts. Not really. If he ever did give her something that could be considered a gift, it was usually small and simple. And he certainly wasn't ever so excited to give it to her. Just what was her husband up to?

So caught up was she in her daze, she hadn't noticed that Goku had given nimbus the command to go until she suddenly almost flew off the cloud. She let out a rather undignified squeak as Goku quickly caught her and brought her around to sit in his lap. He laughed and made a comment, but she couldn't make out his words as they were drowned out by her own heartbeat.

The flight was a rather short one. The nimbus took them over to the other side of Mt. Paozu, about a day's hike if they had gone by foot. They dropped by the river, Goku jumping off before they were even close enough to the ground for Chi-Chi to even consider getting off herself. He then proceeded to bounce on his heels as he waited for her to climb down from the cloud.

"So, what's so special about this river?" she asked as she looked around the area. It was very pretty, there was no denying it; with the green grass and tall trees surrounding them, and the sounds of the river's current combined with the birds chirping relaxing her. But she couldn't see it as being anything for Goku to get so worked up over, especially to consider it a gift. It just looked like the rest of Mt. Paozu.

Goku shook his head. "Nothing! This isn't what I wanted to show you." He grabbed her hand and led her through the trees, practically racing ahead. Chi-Chi struggled to keep up, but she bit back on her complaints – she was too curious about what he was doing to risk dampening his good mood.

"Just through here!" He then pushed back a branch and stepped out into a small field. Chi-Chi followed him with only the slightest bit of hesitance and the sight she was met with left her breathless.

The area was covered with pink and yellow flowers. She couldn't recognize the type, no, but that shade of light pink... he couldn't have...

"Goku," she gasped, suddenly finding her voice though it wavered. She hadn't realized her eyes began to water until she turned to the blurry figure of her husband. "Goku, this..."

He smiled at her, although it wasn't anything like the large one he gave her when he dragged her out of their home. It was small and hesitant, with his brow crinkled slightly with worry. "They look like the flowers over by Fire Mountain. Do you remember?"

She was definitely crying. There was no denying the wetness on her cheeks. Chi-Chi giggled in a way that was very reminiscent of how she did all those years ago, and she quickly closed the distance between them by drawing him into a bone-crushing hug. He yelped and stumbled a bit, but returned it by gently wrapping his arms around her.

"Of course I remember!" she answered, her voice muffled as she pressed her face into his chest. "As if I could ever forget that." She pulled back and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, making sure to give him a large grin through her tears. "Thank you for bringing me here." All the worry washed away from his features, and soon Goku was beaming brightly at her once again.
