Claimer: I do happily declare that I own Emily, and that's just fine with me!
Three years had passed since the warning and every Z fighter had been training hard. Vegeta had pushed himself as he tried his best to achieve super saiyan. Goku, Gohan and Piccolo had been training hard on Mount Potaz, and even stopping for driving lessons. Noticing that her daughter was becoming wiser and happy that Goku had agreed not to train her, Chichi began schooling Emily pretty much the way she started on Gohan. To her annoyance though, Emily would spend most of her time staring out the window at the Gohan and Goku sparring, longing to be out there.
"Get back to your studying Emily, you're not joining them." Chichi sighed, one day as she caught her daughter yet again staring out the window.
"But why mom? I'm half saiyan too, why can't I fight?" Emily protested. Chichi just growled as she closed the curtains blocking the father son sparring match from her daughter.
"Because I said so, fighting isn't ladylike and your father agrees." She snapped, storming out the room. Emily just growled at this.
"He would. This just isn't fair, I want to be out there too." She said, placing her fingers on her forehead as she felt a migraine coming on, then suddenly, she was falling to the ground outside. Goku and Gohan stopped their sparring matches and stared at the seven year old, Piccolo breaking out of his meditation to join them in the staring.
"What did you just do?" Goku gasped.
"Dunno but it hurt though. Anyhow, since I am out here, I'm going to go for a walk." Emily declared running off into the woods behind the house.
"Did you see that guy's?" Goku asked.
"Yeah, it looked like your teleporting trick." Gohan replied.
"But how does she know it?" Piccolo growled.
"I haven't a clue." Goku sighed.
Finally the day arrived for them to fight the androids. To everyone's surprise though, Goku never got sick with the heart virus the fighter from the future predicted and was starting to have doubts of such a threat happening. Whilst patiently waiting for her son and husband to return, Chichi got stuck into pushing Emily studying more. It wasn't long before there was a sharp rap on the door.
"Quick mom, dad's back. Get the antidote." Emily cried whilst hurrying to the door and opening it to find Yamcha standing there holding her father.
"Hey Emily." Yamcha greeted as she let in him in.
"In here Yamcha!" Chichi called from the living room, and Yamcha rushed in with Emily hot on his heels to find that Chichi had made a bed up for her husband on the couch. Lying him down, Yamcha gave Goku the antidote then left him to sleep.
"Best take some myself in case it's contagious." He said, gulping a bit myself and Emily frowned at him.
"But the man from the future said only my dad gets it. If it was contagious, me and Gohan would have got it." She pointed out and the two adults stared at her uncomfortably.
"Uh Emily, why don't you go outside and play for a bit." Chichi suggested, her daughter just sighed.
"Sure, see you later." She muttered and left the house. Shortly later, Krillen and Mirai Trunks landed at Mount Potaz and knocked at the door. Chichi opened it and smiled at Krillen.
"Hi Krillen, have you seen Gohan?" She asked.
"Uh no, we thought he was on his way here. We have to move Goku; the androids are on their way here to look for him. Why don't we take him to Kame House where he'll be safe." Krillen replied.
"Good idea, I'll pack right away. Will one of you get Emily? She's outside somewhere playing." Chichi asked as she made her way inside.
"Will you look for her? I can help Yamcha move Goku." Krillen asked, turning to Mirai Trunks who nodded.
"Sure, where's she likely to be?" He asked.
"Oh around, just yell her name, she'll answer." Krillen replied making his way into the house. Mirai Trunks groaned as he made his way further outside, looking around for her. The problem was, he had no idea what she looked like now that she was older.
"Hey Emily! We have to move your dad! Come on!" He yelled and suddenly, he heard a scream, then a crash then the small girl with elbow length blonde hair tied back into a long ponytail, came flying out backwards from the bushes. Catching her easily, he set her down.
"So that's what it felt like! Wow, no wonder dad and Gohan are always fighting. Thanks for catching me; I was frightened of hitting the house. Oh hey, it's you. You're back!" Emily cried, turning around to see who caught her.
"What were you doing?" He asked her suspiciously.
"Nothing. Come on, we'd better go if you're moving my dad. He's pretty sick and it's rare for mom to let me go outside when I should be studying." She replied quickly, running towards the house. Mirai Trunks just groaned as he followed her towards the house. They were just boarding the Capsule Corp plane when a light appeared in the sky, looking up, Krillen could tell it was Gohan. As soon as he landed, Chichi pulled him into hug, and then boarded the plane herself. Whilst on their way over to Kame House, Chichi was trying to get Gohan and Emily to study whilst Bulma rang them telling them of a sighting on a ship belonging to Capsule Corp. Faxing them a copy of a photo of the ship, Mirai Trunks was stunned to see that it was his time capsule.
"I have to go check it out." He announced.
"I'll go with you." Gohan added and Mirai Trunks nodded before they both took off out the door. Suddenly Emily jumped up too.
"Hey wait for me! I wanna come too!" She yelled running after them.
"Emily get back here!" Chichi shouted going after but watched helplessly as her daughter jumped out the door. Looking back, Gohan gasped as he also watched his sister dive out the plane.
"She can't fly!" He yelled, but to his surprise, she collected her ki professionally and took off towards them.
"Oh yes I can, I'm not getting left behind this time!" She stated smugly as she sped off in the direction Bulma had given them. Gohan and Mirai Trunks gaped at each other before taking off after her. They circled the area for a while before eventually Gohan found the wreckage. Before they could check it out properly, Bulma had arrived in her ship.
"I'd better go and tell her where we are. Stay here Emily and stay out of trouble." Gohan warned, taking off again.
"Ha, you'd think I was a dangerous person the way they talk to me." She snapped to herself as she looked at the ship. A short while later Gohan landed again, this time with Bulma right behind them in her plane.
"Hey down there. So Trunks what do you think of your younger mother?" Bulma asked, giggling.
"Actually, you look pretty much the same." He muttered blushing.
"Really? So I get to keep my girlish looks for another ten years? That's great!" Bulma cried.
"Trunks? Mother? Huh?" Emily asked, totally confused.
"Trunks is the future son of Bulma and Vegeta." Gohan sighed.
"Bulma had a kid? Thanks for telling me!" She cried.
"Didn't you know?" Bulma asked frowning at the girl.
"I don't get told anything anymore. I guess it had something to do with the training that I've been banned from. So that's your name huh? No wonder you couldn't tell us all those years ago." She replied, looking at Mirai Trunks then smiling grimly before climbing up onto the ship to investigate.
"Oh right, that's a shame, since Goku knew the whole time Trunks was going to be born. Anyway, what are we dealing with?" She asked.
"Someone blasted the top open from the inside. And there are two pods on the seat, I'm guessing something hatched from them and blasted their way out. I dunno what creature it is since I don't recognise the pods." Emily stated as a matter of factly, Mirai Trunks went over to the ship frowning.
"I'm going to open it, watch out." He ordered. Emily floated back whilst he pushed a button and the top opened. Jumping in, he punched some buttons and a fading reading came up on the computers.
"What did it say?" Emily asked, hovering behind him now.
"That it's been here for four years. Whatever it was, it was here for a whole year before I travelled to this timeline." He replied.
"What about the pods, do you recognise them?" She asked, he frowned and picked up the pods, passing one to Gohan.
"No, I've never seen these before." He said. Emily looked at the one her brother was holding to see ooze round the edges of it.
"Ew, it looks as though someone's blown his nose in it!" She laughed and Gohan glared at her.
"You would say that wouldn't you? Would you be serious if your going to stay, we could be dealing with a new threat here." He snapped.
"Sorry, just trying to lighten up the situation." She mumbled, going over to a few bushes. Gohan just sighed.
"Mind if I take these, I can examine them better." Bulma asked.
"Sure." Mirai Trunks replied.
"How many time capsules did your mom make Trunks?" Gohan asked.
"How many? She just about had the time to make one, but it's definitely mine, look. See on there? Mom wrote it just before I left for luck." He said, wiping away a bit of moss to reveal the word "hope".
"Hey, I think I found something? I see a tail!" Emily yelled suddenly.
"Emily, it's probably a dead lizard or something! Whoever was here is long gone now!" Gohan snapped.
"Well, I've discovered a new species then, since I don't recognise him." Emily snapped back, wondering what Gohan's problem was.
"Just check it out Gohan, she wouldn't have said anything if it was just a normal dead creature." Bulma said. Gohan groaned as he followed after his sister, and found what she had discovered.
"Uh you guy's, you'd better get over here! Emily, get away from it!" He yelled, grabbing his sister's arm.
"Why Gohan? It's dead. He's long gone now remember?" Emily pointed out, smirking a bit.
"It's not funny, and how do you know?" Gohan argued as Mirai Trunks and Bulma appeared at their sides, gasping at the creature.
"It's hideous." Bulma cried.
"Because, it's only a body, a cocoon. And I know all this because guess what I had to do when you and dad got to train?" She demanded.
"Chichi got you studying too?" Bulma asked, wincing at the memory of the piles of schoolbooks Gohan had to bring with him to Namek.
"Well, most of the time she tried anyway." Emily replied smugly. After saying goodbye, Emily, Mirai Trunks and Gohan made their way back to Kame House where Yamcha, Krillen and Chichi had already arrived with Goku and Chichi was not happy.
"How could you take off like that? I told you, you could not go!" Chichi yelled, glaring at her daughter. Emily growled whilst everyone looked on from behind large objects, Chichi just tapped her foot impatiently.
"I wanted to go with Gohan and Trunks mom. I have told you from day one I want to fight. I'm a saiyan too and I want to be a fighter." Emily snapped. Chichi narrowed her eyes at her.
"And I have told you, fighting isn't lady like and I forbid you to do it. Now go and study!" She demanded.
"No!" Emily snarled.
"What did you say?" Chichi screeched.
"Oh boy…" Gohan muttered.
"I said no! I'm going to train, I'm going to fight and I'm not going to get cooped up in the house studying all day. I'm half saiyan too, Raditz would have wanted me to fight and for your information he trained me before I even met you!" Emily screamed and stormed out the house. Chichi just let out an exasperated yell before storming into the kitchen whilst all the Z fighters stared at each other trying to work out what was going on. Gohan sighed as he looked out the window to see his sister sitting on a sun lounger, her head buried in her hands and he was about to go out when there was a sudden news flash on the television.
"Pepper City is under attack. The inhabitants have all just disappeared, the only thing left is their clothes, and I really don't get it." The reporter cried. Suddenly, he stared at the television petrified, then screamed as the camera went dead.
"That will be that creature we found. I'll check this out. I'm going solo on this one. You'll need to stay here to protect Goku if the androids come." Mirai Trunks announced standing up and taking off.
Meanwhile over at Pepper City, Piccolo had a new demon to face. An android called Cell, who was named after what he was. A collection of Cells, all the Z Fighters and Frieza. After having his arm absorbed by the monster, Piccolo, who was now a super Namek after merging with Kame, had tricked Cell into telling him all about where he came from and what he was doing here. Knowing the creature would like to boast about his "supreme" abilities, he got quite a bit of information out of him. After regenerating his arm, he began his battle.
A while later, Chichi was humming away slightly as she brought a tray with a glass of water up to her husbands room. After declaring earlier that he looked tonnes better and was just sleeping now, she assumed he'd want a nice drink when he wakes up. She entered the room and dropped the tray in shock when she realised that his bed was empty and the window was open. Running over to it, she looked out to see Goku standing next to Emily, staring at her whilst tying the belt to his gi and sighed with relief. Outside, Goku was wondering how to talk to the girl he'd only got to know three years ago.
"You know, I heard everything." He stated.
"That's a relief." Emily snapped, she was now playing with a handful of sand she'd picked up from the beach, deliberately not looking at her father.
"Why didn't you tell us Raditz trained you before you met us?" Goku asked and Emily turned around and stared at him.
"I didn't think you'd want me to talk about him. He did kidnap Gohan you know, I remember just about everything except how he died. I figured it was in the fight you and Piccolo had to have." She sighed.
"Well, I guess seeing as you got trained all those years ago, I don't really have the right to stop you now. All right I'll tell you what, when I come back from fighting Cell, I'll see where you're up to and train you from there, ok?" He bargained. Smiling a bit, Emily broke into a grin.
"Thanks dad! I knew you'd understand!" She cried pulling him into a hug as Chichi came running out the house.
"Goku! You promised me!" She wailed.
"But Chichi, she's already been trained by Raditz. It's only fair that she learn all about her abilities, she is half saiyan too." He pointed out.
"Please mom!" Emily begged pouting and Chichi sighed.
"I'm not going to win this one am I? All right then, fine. You can train on one condition, that you buckle down and study too young lady." She said sternly, Emily beamed at this.
"Can't argue with that. Thanks mom. Thanks dad." She replied running back into the house. Shortly after, the heroes left and all that their families had to depend upon for the knowledge of their loved ones lives, was the video footage of the Cell games the brave camera man taped. A while later Chichi came out of the bathroom smiling.
"Guess what Emily, you're going to be a big sister. I'm having a baby." She announced. Emily smiled.
"That's great mom, congratulations." She replied, hugging her mother. Not to long after that they were all glued around the television screen watching Gohan fight Cell when all of a sudden, the television went static.
"Oh my boys." Chichi moaned, fainting, whilst Emily suddenly had tears pouring down her face, she had just felt her father's energy disappear; she knew that Goku had died. What seemed like forever, Gohan finally touched down outside Kame House and ran in.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault dad's gone!" He cried.
"No it's not Gohan, I'm sure he'll be back soon." Emily soothed, pulling her big brother into a hug.
The next day, after wishing everyone back who lost their lives to Cell, they were hoping to revive Goku. But the saiyan boldly declared that it was because of his existance that Earth was constantly getting attacked and came to the conclusion that he wasn't going to come back this time.
After slowly getting over the shock of losing him, they all gathered around to wave Mirai Trunks off, and it was then that Gohan found out his mother was having another baby. When everyone went back to their normal lives, nine months had shot by, and Chichi was soon in hospital in labour. The one person who she had wanted by her side most was her husband Goku, who still had no idea he was about to become a father for a second time. Instead, it was her 11-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter who were standing there holding her hands as she pushed the new additions to the Son family into the world.
"Wow, twins. A boy and a girl." Gohan commented, staring at his new brother and sister. Emily also stared at them in fascination.
"Cool, have you got names for them mom?" She asked.
"Yes I have. I'm naming the boy Goten and the girl Cheena." Chichi replied with a proud smile plastered on her face as the nurse brought the two children over, one wrapped in a pink towel whilst one was wrapped in a blue towel, then handed them to Chichi.
"Goten and Cheena." Emily sighed.
"I love it. Too bad dad isn't here." Gohan added.
"Gohan." Emily hissed at her brother, then turned to see tears forming down her mother's cheeks.
"No, it's alright sweetheart. I'm used to Goku doing this. Don't worry. He'll come home. Eventually." She sighed.
"I hope so mom. He's missing out on so much if he doesn't." Gohan said, staring at the twins again.
