Claimer: I do own Emily and anyone else mentioned in this chapter.
AN1: Chapter 8 is up, it's mainly after the tournament leading up to the party at capsule corp. I did in fact half start this chapter on the laptop (see how annoying a machine can be?) therefore I'm trying to remember how it originally went. So like said many times before... on with the story!!!
Half an hour later, the aeroplane touched down outside the two houses situated on Mount Potaz and one by one all the Sons and Emily stepped off the plane.
"Wow, this is so cool. It's a lot better than the city." Emily commented, looking around. Goku laughed at this.
"I'm glad you like it. We have to keep the place secluded as we train a lot outside and its more reassuring when we know there's no one around we can hurt." He explained.
"I bet. It's very hard when I train for fights as there is nowhere except the local park I can go to. And I have to go at night when no one is there." She replied quietly.
"Goku, I'm going to whip something up to eat ok?" Chichi asked. Goku nodded licking his lips and grinning.
"Sure, thanks Chichi." He replied. Chichi laughed as she entered the house, followed by Videl, leaving Emily, Gohan and Goku outside. Figuring everyone was fine with the fact she had it Emily let her tail loose.
"So how long have you had it?" Gohan asked, staring at it again.
"Um, it grew about two weeks ago; I've had it hidden ever since. Everyone will freak out if they see I have it. I suppose it was telling me it was time I came to you." She sighed, moving it around a bit, trying to stretch it out.
"Do you know why you have it?" Goku asked.
"No, my father never told me why. He said you'd be able to explain it to me. Didn't think I would understand it if he told me anyway. I used to think the sparring matches we had were a game." She replied shaking her head.
"Well, you have most of your strength now that you have your tail. We've all lost ours so we won't get that strength again. Also if you look at a full moon when you have a tail, you'll turn into an oozaru. It's a giant ape like creature. I've had fun catching Gohan in the past when he transformed. That's why I pulled out his tail." Goku laughed.
"Only cause I couldn't control my form. Vegeta could control his couldn't he?" Gohan replied blushing a bit. Goku nodded.
"Yeah, he crushed my body in his form too. It makes quite a lot of damage especially if you can't control it most of the time." He said, wincing at the memory.
"So if I look at a full moon, I turn into this monster, oozaru. Well so much for romantic nights of looking up at the moon. Unless I want to kill my date." Emily sighed.
"It's not that bad, you just have to be careful that's all." Gohan reassured her.
Chichi announced that the food was ready and once again Emily found herself staring at the amount of food there was on the table. Then staring at the others in a mixture of amusement and disgust when they began their eating competition of who can eat the most food.
"Aren't you hungry Emily?" Chichi asked, catching the teens gaze.
"Oh yeah, it's nice thanks." She muttered, grabbing a sandwich and taking a few bites. The table was empty within ten minutes, much to Goku and Gohan's disappointment.
"Hey, it would be empty ages ago if Goten was here, be thankful there was one less saiyan eating." Chichi commented, looking at the face her husband was making. Goku made a classic son grin and turned to Emily.
"Your right Chi, that was great. Hey Emily do you want to go fishing?" He asked.
"You want to fish Goku after you've just eaten all that food?" Videl asked, staring at her future father in law. Goku put on a solemn face.
"Yeah, I've got to work this off somehow." He replied. Emily smirked at this.
"Hey I'll come too, you fancy another spar later Emily?" Gohan asked. she nodded.
"Alright, I can use the spar to dry off from the fish. I always get soaked when I fish." She replied grinning. Goku lead her out to the river and gazed in.
"Hm, yep, I see some real beauties in there. We could have them for dinner Gohan." He said, diving in. Gohan just laughed.
"Yeah, I would if I hadn't had fish every single day this week." He said, sitting on the edge of the river.
Emily went over and knelt down to look into the water and gasped at what she saw.
"Oh wow, are the fish really that big?" She exclaimed, Gohan nodded.
"Yeah, makes it more fun to catch." He replied, diving in after his father and causing the water to come flying up in her face.
"Oh you are so gonna get it Gohan!" Emily cried, diving in also. They both began having a splash out whilst Goku was trying to catch several fish together.
All of a sudden Goku let go of one of the fish and it headed in anger straight for Emily.
"Emily! Watch out!" Goku yelled as he watched it speed towards her. Emily just stared at it in shock before Gohan floated out the water and grabbed her arm, flying her out of the reach of the fish. Goku quickly killed the fish and tossed it on the shore whilst Gohan set Emily down on the edge of the river, her still staring at the fish.
"You ok?" He asked and she nodded.
"Yeah, just can't believe it." She muttered.
"Well they can get pretty dangerous when they get angry, and catching several of them at the same time didn't help." Gohan said whilst giving his dad a look. Goku made the classic Son grin and came over to the two of them.
"Sorry about that, didn't think he'd go after you." He replied.
"Hey dad, why are you catching fish anyway? Aren't we going to Bulma's tonight?" Gohan asked, turning to his father who nodded.
"Oh yeah, you know I forgot about that. Hey Emily, do you wanna come too?" He replied turning to her. Emily nodded.
"Yes please, if that's all right with everyone. I don't want to be in the way." She replied, Gohan snorted at this.
"Nah, you won't be in the way. Don't worry about it." He said, waving it off.
Giving up on the fish, Emily and Gohan decided to have the spar and before they knew it, it was time to head over to Capsule Corp.
"Goku will you instant translocate us over there? It'll save getting the plane out." Chichi asked when they were all gathered outside.
"Sure! Don't worry Emily it's a move I do, just gets us there instantly." Goku replied, looking at his niece when he saw her expression.
Chichi wrapped her arms around Goku's one arm. Gohan put his hand on his father's shoulder, whilst Videl put her arms around his arm too. Chichi grabbed Emily's hand then Goku instant translocated over to Capsule Corp. Goten was there to greet his family when they arrived along with Trunks.
"Hey, you're here! And you brought Emily too! Cool!" He cried when they made their way over. Chichi smiled at her son.
"Nice to see you too Goten, I hope you've been good for Bulma." She said.
"Yeah, he's been no bother Chichi. Hey guy's. Nice to see you again Emily." Bulma said from the doorway. Everyone smiled as they made their way in, Gohan automatically going over to Piccolo who was glaring at Emily.
"What did you bring her for?" He demanded from Gohan, who frowned at his old teacher. He guessed maybe he wasn't fully over Raditz and seeing Emily got him all wound up again. Gohan put his hand on mentor's shoulder.
"Relax Piccolo. She's all right. She spent the afternoon with us and she really is good." He mumbled, glancing at his new cousin to see her throwing a nervous look at Piccolo, obviously hearing what he had just said.
Vegeta moved up to her with his arms folded.
"So, you really are Raditz's kid. Didn't think he'd mate on this planet." He said bluntly. Emily slowly nodded, not knowing what to say to him.
"Yeah, he had me and my brother." She replied calmly.
"So do you plan on sticking around long or are you going to do the disappearing act again?" He asked. She shrugged her shoulders.
"I dunno. I don't know how the others feel about me. I know Goku and his family like me but I know there are people in this room that are uncomfortable around me. I'd like to stick around but it depends on how everyone feels about me." She explained.
"Don't pay attention to the Namek." Vegeta told her and then stalked off. Emily frowned at him. How did he know it was Piccolo she was talking about?
Krillen was the next to arrive with 18 and Marron. Then Yamcha arrived with Puar and Master Roshi, who hadn't seen Emily yet and was immediately fascinated by her.
"Is this a new friend Goku?" He asked staring at her.
"Yeah, she's kinda my saiyan niece. She's the daughter of Raditz. We only met her today ourselves." Goku replied, smiling at Emily who was now chatting away to Krillen about the fight they had had earlier. Yamcha was standing next to Krillen.
"So what are you going to do with her, Kakarot?" Vegeta asked walking over to her.
"Well I was going to offer to train her, but she'll have to learn how to fly. She really wants to fight, that much I can tell. I'll offer it to her later. She's not so nervous anymore." Goku replied. Vegeta smirked at this.
"You're offering to train her huh? Do you think she'll be any good?" Master Roshi asked. Goku nodded at him.
"Yeah, there's something about her that'll give her great power. I can feel it." He replied.
Later on, Bulma announced the buffet open and everyone watched in amusement as Goku, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta and Trunks fought over the food.
"So you're actually used to this?" Yamcha asked Emily.
"Yeah, I thought the hotdogs were too much earlier but I had lunch with Goku and his family so I'm getting the hang of things." Emily replied staring at them in amusement.
Soon it was getting closer to midnight.
"It's been a great party, thanks Bulma." Chichi said.
"Yeah, it's been fun hasn't it? We should get together more often." Bulma replied. Emily sighed as she looked at her watch.
"I guess I should be heading home soon, my parents will start getting worried about me." She said, glancing at everyone. Goku made his way over to her.
"All right, I'll take you home. Listen, I was thinking, how would you like me to train you? You know, so you can fight and fly like us. You're half saiyan so I think you deserve the same abilities we have." Goku asked. Emily smiled.
"You'll train me? That'll be great, I'd love that!" She replied.
"Good, we'll start on Monday." He told her.
"Thanks, it'll have to be after three as I still have to go to school for another year." She said, nodding. Goku instant translocated her home then returned in an instant.
"So dad, what did she say?" Gohan asked.
"She wants me to train her. I've got a feeling she'll be a good fighter." Goku replied smiling as they finished the party off.
AN2: Hooray!!! Finished. I thought this was going to drag out until I remembered I had the party to put in. Hope you enjoyed reading this and please review.
