Dreams Come True Ch. 8
By Ryu Dragon

Time, 2 years after Singapore's love story.
Place, Hong Kong.

"What's with you today, Chun Li ? You look very happy." - Chun Li's mother, Mrs. Hong Li seeing Chun Li humming a happy song, while preparing breakfast.

"Oh, Mama (mother). There will be a friend of mine coming today." - Chun Li.

"Oh, you mean, the one that is from Japan ? The one that you always talks about ?" teased Mrs. Hong Li.

Chun Li blushed. "Yes, that one."

"He is coming today ? Are you going to pick him up ? I thought you have to go to work today ?" - Mrs. Hong Li.

"Well, he is coming early, so I will still got time to go for recording after I came back from airport." - Chun Li.

"Okay then, but be sure to call the company in case you're late. He is going to stay with us isn't he ?" - Mrs. Hong Li.

"Yup. I thought you're already forget about that, Ma." - Chun Li.

"How could I forget ? You mentioned about that at least 10 times a day for this week." - Mrs. Hong Li.

Chun Li blushed again. "Ohh, did I ? Umm… that's just so you won't forget."

Mrs. Hong Li laughed. "Alright. Finish your breakfast quickly. What time will he comes ?"

"In…" - Chun Li looks at her watch. "Omigosh !!! I'll be late, his plane supposed to come in another half-hour. I got to go now Ma. Bye." Chun Li kisses her mom on the cheek, grabs her bag, jumps to first floor (the dining room is on the second floor), and rushes to her car.

"Chun Li, what about your breakfast ?" - Mrs. Hong Li. She is not surprised seeing Chun Li jumps down. Apparently, Chun Li sometimes did that when she is late.

"I'll buy something later on, Ma." - Chun Li waves.

"What's with Chun Li ? Is she late again ?" - Chun Li's father, Bun Sam. Chun Li's father is a top detective, he was shaving when he heard Chun Li rush out the door.

"Do you have to ask ?" - Hong Li smiles. "Come down now or you'll have to jump like Chun Li when you're going out."

"No way, I still got a lot of time. Where is she going this early anyway ? I thought her college is on holiday." - Bun Sam.

"She is going to pick up her friend from Japan. Are you forget ?" - Hong Li.

"Oh yeah, I remember now. So he is coming today ? Have you prepared the guest room ?" - Bun Sam.

*Sigh* "Your memory is worse than Chun Li. Of course I did." - Hong Li.

"Hey, just checking if you forget or not. We can't let a guest stay in an unprepared room, right ?" - Bun Sam smiles and kisses his wife.

"Yeah, right. Now finish your shaving, I'll prepare your breakfast." - Hong Li smiles.

"Ahh, I married an angel. How lucky I am." - Bun Sam smiles, then winced as his wife pinched him on the belly.

At, the HK airport…

Ryu arrives in Hong Kong alone; Sean is not with him because he can't leave the dojo without anyone replaces him. After he got out from immigration, he looks for Chun Li. He waits for a while, but couldn't find her, so he decides to call Chun Li, just incase if she forgot or something. Just when he picks up the handset, there is someone pokes his shoulder. As he turns to see who it was, he smiles, it was Chun Li, and she looks tired and sweaty.

"Hi, Chun Li, my, you look like just running for 2 kilometers. You're okay ?" - Ryu.

"Heh heh, sort of like that, I'm fine. Have you been waiting long ?" - Chun Li.

"Not really. Look at you sweating. Here let me wipe your forehead." - Ryu. He takes out his handkerchief and wipe the sweat on Chun Li's forehead.

Chun Li feels a bit shies. "Thanks."

Suddenly, "Eee !!! Look at that !!! Its one of ECC singer, Chun Li !!!" - a girl pointing at Chun Li.

"Uh oh, I've been spotted. C'mon lets run." - Chun Li. She grabs Ryu's hand and pulls him toward the door. Ryu quickly grabs his bags and follow her.

"Aaaa !!! Chun Li !!!"

"Chun Li, We love you !!!!"

"Wait for us Chun Li !!!"

There is a crowd of fans chasing them through the parking lot. It was lucky for them that Chun Li's car top is opened, and Ryu only brought two bags with him. They quickly slid in the car, turn the engine on and make their way through the parking gate.

"Wheew, is that what happened every time you were spotted by fans ?" - Ryu.

"Yap, and that happen almost everyday. Its good for exercise though." - Chun Li.

"Well, I guess I have to ready to run at all time." - Ryu.

"Yeah, be prepared. Its not easy being a star, sometimes it can be annoying." - Chun Li.

"Yeah, especially when you want a private time." - Ryu smiles at Chun Li.

"True, true." - Chun Li smiles back at Ryu, so sweet that Ryu feels like he's melting down.
