AN1: Chapter 9 is up, I wasn't 100 how to work this one out, so if it doesn't sound right to you, then please let me know. So like said many, many times before. On with the story!!!

Several weeks had passed since the world Marital Arts tournament; Emily had been coming to regular training sessions with Goku and now had got the hang of most of her powers. Learning the most fun parts, she could now fly and throw numerous energy blasts. She even had her own special technique she recently created – the destructo bomb. Similar to the disc except instead of cutting through what it touches, it molecular disintegrates what ever it touches. Only problem was, it gave off an energy which couldn't be controlled, most of the time knocking Emily out for several hours

"Tell you what; we'll only use this attack if necessary. It's a very powerful attack and it's not right messing around with it." Goku advised after she'd come too one day.

"Alright, oh my head." She groaned, rubbing the side of it.

They carried on until one Friday afternoon when Emily never showed up.

"Must have had to do something." Goten said when he and Goku were discussing it that night at dinner. Goku nodded.

"Yeah, but she would have called us or something wouldn't she?" He replied. He waited for her on Saturday and when she didn't turn up again, he started getting a bit worried.

"Oh Goku, she probably had homework, remember her mother didn't approve of her fighting." Chichi assured him when he mentioned it again that night. On the Monday, Vegeta had arrived to see the girl in action but Emily again had failed to arrive.

"She hasn't shown up since last Friday, Vegeta." Goku sighed.

"She must have ran off. The coward." He said. Goku frowned at the prince.

"No, I don't think so Vegeta. I think something has happened." He replied.

After dinner that night, he instant translocated to Emily's foster home and knocked, but there was no reply. Frowning he returned home.

Maybe Vegeta was right; maybe this was too much for her. Goku shook his head. No he couldn't think like that.

That night as the family settled down in front of the television, Chichi for some reason decided to put the news on.

"Here's the latest from the car crash at West City news. The car accident that happened on Friday caused a three-car pile up. The people in two of the cars all survived but the third, which was a red ford, wasn't so lucky. Mr & Mrs Reynolds and their foster daughter Emily suffered the most in the car accident whilst the other two cars came away with scrapes and bruises the Reynolds came out worse. Mr & Mrs Reynolds both died straight away in the accident and 17-year-old Emily is currently in a coma in Satan City General Hospital. Doctors and Nurses are hoping the teen will come round soon, but unfortunately lost both her parents." The reporter said. Everyone stared at the television in shock.

"So that's what happened, I knew something was wrong." Goku gasped.

"Oh poor Emily. She's lost her family too." Chichi sighed. That gave Goku an idea, but put it aside for later as he rushed over to Gohan's house to tell him what happened.

Three days later, doctors and nurses were happy to see that Emily had finally woken up from her coma. She was groggy but looking alright.

"What happened? Where am I?" She asked, trying to sit up.

"Don't worry Miss Reynolds; you're in Satan City General. You had a car accident on Friday, but you're alright now." A nurse said soothingly.

"Oh no... My parents! Are they alright?" Emily asked frantically.

"I'm sorry Emily, but your parents died at the scene." The nurse replied quietly, Emily gasped at this latest news, tears starting to form in her eyes.

"They're dead?" She asked, burying her face in the hands and started to cry.

Taking the hint, the nurse left Emily to be by herself.

Two hours after that, there was a certain visitor at the hospital.

"And who are you sir?" The receptionist asked.

"My name is Gohan, I am Emily's cousin." Gohan replied. Nodding, the nurse sighed.

"She's not been so good since she found out about her parents. I'll see if she wants visitors." She replied, walking off. A moment later she returned.

"Yeah, she said she wants to see you, she's in cubicle number 11." She said. Nodding his thanks, Gohan made his way to the cubicle and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A muffled voice called. Slowly opening the door, he looked in to see Emily sitting up in bed, her eyes still red and puffy. He entered the room, closing the door, then went over and sat on her bed.

"Hey, I'm really sorry about your parents. How are you feeling?" Gohan asked.

"Thanks, I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling more pain for my parents then from the accident at the moment." She sighed. Gohan pulled her into a hug as she sobbed into his shoulder.

"It's gonna be alright, don't worry." He soothed.

"How is it going to be all right Gohan? I don't have anyone now. Once I get better, I'll have to go back to the home until another family fosters me. I don't know whether I'll be able to see you all again." She cried as she let go.

"That won't have to happen." A voice said from the door. Emily looked up to see Goku standing there (I know Goku is terrified of hospitals, but just for the sake of the scene, he got over his fear) and she frowned at this.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Well, Chichi and I thought it over a lot and since you no longer have anywhere to go, we have considered adopting you. You are family after all. What do you think?" He asked. Emily widened her eyes at this. It was the last thing she thought she'd hear from him.

"You serious?" She asked.

"Yeah, Chichi's always wanted a girl around the house anyway. If you want to that is, it'll save going back to the home you obviously hate." He replied and for the first time in days, Emily cracked a weak smile.

"Me? Officially becoming your daughter? I'd love to Goku! I'd love to be apart of your family!" She replied as Goku came over and pulled her into a hug. Everything went ahead and by the time Emily was able to go home, to her surprise, she was able to go home with Goku and Chichi. When she went home, she was greeted by a newly decorated bedroom, which had a welcome home banner over it.

"Welcome home honey." Chichi greeted smiling.

"Wow, all this is for me?" Emily gasped.

"Of course, it's so great to see you all better again." Goku replied pulling her into a hug. Emily grinned as she ran into the room.

"Thanks mom, thanks dad." She cried.

AN2: Finished. Well its different to the way Emily gets adopted by them, hope you all like it and please review!!! Thanks!
