FASAIMS (1): Scenario: What if Cory did go to the Butler School of Music?

Chris didn't see Cory for a long time after she left. Actually, it was three months before they got to see each other in person again. It was the summer, and Cory was off. They found a way for Cory to join the band's crew on tour for the summer to help out with merch and whatnot.

Now, Chris was at the airport, waiting at the gate for Cory. They called each other and video chatted often and they texted each other every day. This would be the first time in three months, however, that they'd see each other in person. Having a long distance relationship was strange enough, let alone a long distance marriage...

People finally begin to pile out. Chris' heart began to race at the speed of light as his eyes rapidly searched for his wife. The anticipation was killing him...

Finally, he saw her.

All of her hair was black now and it was put into a braid. Cory's eyes peered through her glasses, searching. At last, her bright green orbs landed on Chris.

For a moment, they just sort of...stare at each other.

Cory then begins to tear up and she smiles. She then runs to Chris and into his arms. Chris lifts Cory off of her feet and holds her close to him. He exhales, relieved to finally have Cory back with him. For a good two minutes, they just stand there in that embrace.

Finally, they come apart slightly and Chris kisses Cory with everything in him. They didn't care who was around or who was watching. They completely melted into each other since it was their first kiss in three months. They'd been apart for long amounts of time before when Chris had to leave for tour in the past, but this was...different, somehow...

They break the kiss and rest their foreheads against each other.

"Hi." Chris whispers.

Cory giggles, "Hi."

"I missed you."

"I missed you too. I missed you so much." Cory says before kissing him a couple more times.

Chris laughs and they come apart, "Your hair looks so different all black."

"I know. I just wanted to try something new."

"Well I like it." Chris says, "Come on. Let's go home."

"Wow." Cory says as she watches everything outside pass her by as she and Chris drove home, "I missed it here so much."

"Really? Texas has to be way cooler than Pennsylvania."

"I missed the people here. I missed you and Mandy and...my family." Cory says, "How did everyone react when you told them we're married?"

Chris hisses, "Um, well, they were certainly uh...surprised."

"Were they unhappy?"

"The guys in the band thought it was a little dumb of us, but they're the most supportive. My parents weren't, uh, thrilled per se, but they'll get over it if they haven't already. And even so, I love you and nothing anyone else has to say about it would change that."

Cory smiles.

"So tell me stuff!" Chris continues, "What's it like there?"

"Oh, God, Chris, it's amazing. Since I'm there on a scholarship, I don't have to worry about money much. I can just...play music. And I'm with people that have common interests and who understand my passions the way you do."
