Till Death Do us Part?
1
ChiChi let out a happy sigh, as she put the finishing touches on a romantic dinner for two. Goten was having a sleep over at Trunks house, And Gohan was staying over at Sharpeners, he rather sleep over Videl’s but her father wouldn’t allow it, for obvious reasons.
ChiChi chuckled to herself, Gohan is truly Goku’s son. Taking a controversial issue and being naive as heck about it. She kind of wished she could see Mr.Satan's face when he asked if could sleep over.
That would be priceless.
She put the candles on the table, and admired the spread. Absentmindedly she smoothed out the beautiful dress she was wearing, and bought especially for this occasion. Goku promised to come home early so they could spend a romantic evening alone together. It would be the first one in almost seven years, he had only recently been brought back to life.
"HAHAHA Gohan quit it" Came the sound of a girls voice from outside.
ChiChi looked outside to find Videl being tickled by Gohan, the young demisaiyan deciding to disregard her order, just smiled wider and proceeded making his girlfriend’s eyes water, as she exploded into a fit of giggles.
She smiled Gohan and Videl seemed to remind her of her own childhood. When Goku and her were only children, and dating.
Flashback
"Why do you have a tail?" little ChiChi asked her "date", she kind of forced him but they were having fun nonetheless.
"I don’t know," He replied as he stared at his extra appendage. "Maybe I’m part monkey."
"Silly you can’t be part monkey."
"I can’t"
"Nope"
"Are you sure? I like bananas."
"hehheee no of course not."
"Oh then maybe it’s for .. Um " Goku tried to think, he didn’t know what it was for. He didn’t notice ChiChi advance toward his tail neither. "Maybe it’s OOWWW, don’t pull."
"Sorry Goku I was curious to see what it felt like."
"Oh okay please don’t do it again."
"It’s kind of tickles." She giggled.
"Hey now I know what it’s for," He said with a big grin.
"What?"
"For tickling!!" He said as he tickled her nose, she abruptly laughed and moved away.
"You don’t like to be tickled ChiChi?" He smiled even wider, for some reason he didn’t know why , whenever she laughed his heart raced like he was about to fight. He wasn’t going to hit her or anything it just felt nice. He caught up with her and continued to tickle her belly. She fell on her back while laughing and covered her stomach. Goku laughed also , but stopped when he felt his legs thrown from under him. ChiChi smiled as she stood over him and with a triumphant smirk she attacked his stomach and tickled him back. When he was at her mercy paralyzed by laughter , she ran off. When Goku regained his composure he chased her.
"HEY MOM"
ChiChi was knocked out of her daydream by the sound of her eldest son’s voice.
"Gohan don’t yell," ChiChi scolded.
"Sorry I’m going to borrow the car now to drop Videl and Goten off okay? I’ll see you tomorrow."
"Bye Gohan, night Videl and Goten remember to behave."
"Okay mom."
"Bye."
The red hover car floated up above the house and with a roar flew toward Satan City.
ChiChi looked down at her watch 6:57 Goku was going to be home soon for their date. So out of preparation she lit the candles and sat waiting patiently for her love.
And waited.
And waited.
And waited.
And she waited until the food got cold and the candles burned all the way down to their stubs. And as the flames slowly vanished she covered her eyes and cried, while the darkness surround her form. The empty loneliness reminiscent of when Goku was dead hung in the air, but the painful difference though was Goku could have controlled it this time.
