It had been several hours since Goten had been busted outside the mall by Gohan, and Goten was pacing in his bedroom trying to work out what to say to his sister. His time running out as she was on her way home and she was still very annoyed. ChiChi had already yelled at him earlier and he was working on sneaking out the house for a little while, until everyone cooled down. He didn't know what was worse in this situation, his mothers frying pan or his sister in a foul mood. Goten made his way towards the door and slowly creaked it open, he could hear his mother humming away in the kitchen. Closing it again, he crept over to his window and opened it. Sensing his fathers ki, he knew he had gone back to sparring with Krillen so he dropped his ki dramatically and slowly floated out of his window. He was just about to take off when he spotted something in the sky. Looking down, Goten could see Gohan coming out of his house also staring up at the sky and ignoring the situation he was in, he flew over to his brother.
"What is it Gohan?" He asked.
"It feels familiar Goten, but I don't want to take any chances, go get dad." Gohan replied, glancing at his brother then back to the sky.
"Ok." Goten said quickly then ran to the back of the house. Gohan gasped as the object began to take a very familiar shape.
"It can't be." He mumbled as it landed, the top of the transport lifted and out stepped a person he hadn't seen in many years. The figure smiled as he capsuled up his transport then turned to Gohan.
"Goku! Its so good to see you, the others must have wished you back. I see you've cut your hair!" He cried walking over.
"Actually Trunks, I'm Gohan." Gohan laughed.
"Gohan? But I've only been gone three years!" Mirai Trunks protested.
"Must be in your time, it's been ten years since I fought Cell." Gohan replied, Mirai Trunks widened his eyes as Goku and Krillen came around the corner, both of them grinned as they saw him.
"Trunks? Good to see you again! Nothing bad has happened again has it?" Goku asked, Mirai Trunks shook his head.
"No, I destroyed the androids. I came back to ensure I didn't alter time too badly." He explained, Gohan smirked.
"Well, quite a bit has happened over the years." He said, staring past his father at his little brother, who was gaping at their new guest. Everyone spun around to see the miniature version of Goku.
"Who's that?" Mirai Trunks asked, but before anyone could answer, a loud crash could be heard behind them. Spinning around, Gohan saw Emily her eyes on fire as she glared at Goten.
"Oh boy, here comes the firework display." He sighed.
"Goten! You are so dead!" Emily screamed disappearing and lunging at Goten, at speeds no one had seen her use before.
"And who's she?" Mirai Trunks asked, as the pair whizzed passed them, forgetting all about their guest.
"That's enough! We've already dealt with Goten Emily!" Goku yelled, taking off after them.
"Emily huh? A new girlfriend of yours?" Mirai Trunks asked, looking at Gohan who immediately went red.
"What? No I'm engaged to someone else, Emily our sister." He explained, staring after his father who was attempting to break the two of them up, Mirai Trunks stared at him now.
"That's it Emi! We have company!" Goku shouted grabbing her by the arm, hearing this, she immediately stopped fighting her brother.
"We do?" She asked looking at him.
"Yes, if you'd stop fighting then you'd be able to see." Goku sighed, it was then Emily peered passed her father and stared at Mirai Trunks.
"Who's he? He looks like Trunks, but older." She stated.
"He is, he's Trunks from the future, the one who warned us about the androids." Goku explained.
"Oh yeah, I remember you telling me about that." She replied.
"You have a sister?" Mirai Trunks asked, looking at Gohan.
"She's really our cousin but dad adopter her a few weeks ago. She's half saiyan like us, her dad was Radditz who was dad's saiyan brother. Her name is Emily but we all call her Emi for short." Gohan explained as his father and sister approached them, Emily smiled at them.
"Sorry about all that, I'm not normally like that it's just Goten annoyed me over something. Pleased to meet you Trunks, Dad and Gohan have told me so much about you." She said, holding her hand out, he shook it as Goku turned to the young saiyan.
"So you must be twenty now. Wonder how come so much time has passed. Anyway, Emily is 17, Goten my second son is 10 and he is a year younger than your present self." He explained.
"Well I destroyed the androids and waited three years to come back. Time must have skipped seven years. I thought you died Goku." Mirai Trunks said suddenly, Emily turned to her father.
"You died?" She asked frowning.
"Uh yeah, I came back after defeating a monster called Majin Buu three years ago." Goku explained grinning.
"How did you fight someone if you were dead? That doesn't make any sense." Emily asked, growing even more puzzled.
"He swapped lives with an ageing Kai." Gohan explained, Emily stared at him now completely confused, but sighed.
"I still don't get it, never mind. I'm gonna put my stuff away." She stated, walking over to the bags she had dropped earlier and making her way into the house, everyone staring at her.
"I keep forgetting how much she has to learn about what we do." Goku said, turning back to the others.;
"She'll get it all sooner or later. So how long are you going to stay Trunks?" Gohan asked, turning back to him.
"Well, until I can recharge the time machine which will take a couple of days. Mom told me to get to know my father a bit more, the first impression wasn't exactly what I was looking for and besides you guys are still gone in my timeline." Mirai Trunks replied.
"Yeah I'm sure Bulma will want to throw a party when she finds out you're here." Gohan laughed. Around the dinner table that night, everyone was talking about the "good old times" and filling Mirai Trunks in on what had happened after Cell. Emily was sitting there quietly just listening in, mainly as she knew she had nothing to fill Mirai Trunks in on, but kept throwing him curious stares. They had barely mentioned all the monsters they had had to fight in the past, though she knew all about cell from watching the Cell Games the reporters managed to get on TV. That night, as everyone crashed out, Emily sat on her bay window, staring out at the sky. Something didn't feel right, she kept getting flashes of negative energy. She had a feeling one of these "monsters" were heading towards Earth, but didn't mention anything as she knew no one would believe her. Sighing she made her way to her bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, she woke up early, quickly changed into some navy blue jeans and a black tank top. Scooping her hair into a ponytail, she made her way downstairs into the kitchen. Goten and Goku were both sitting at the table with a mountain of pancakes in front of them, whilst Mirai Trunks only has a few. Smiling she sat down next to him.
"Morning Emi." Goku said with his mouth full of food.
"Uh, morning dad." Emily replied, fighting off the urge to be sick as she helped herself to three pancakes then began tucking in. chichi smiled at her as she also sat down next to her daughter.
"So what do you have planned to do today?" She asked.
"Dunno, got half term next week and I've done all my homework. Might go fishing, I need to teach this one fish a lesson not to mess with a saiyan." Emily announced smirking.
"Emi, I killed him." Goku said.
"Not him, one I tried to get by myself the other day. It was a good job Goten was around." She replied.
"Your fishing solo? Your brave." ChiChi stated.
"Yeah, more fun when he tries to eat you. Oh and I wanna go over to Capsule Corp too, I need to ask Bulma something." She added.
"Hey, if your going to Capsule Corp later, mind if I tag along? I'd like to see everyone again." Mirai Trunks asked looking at her, Emily nodded.
"Sure, I'll know Gohan won't be following me when I have you for company." She laughed.
"Yeah, I've noticed he's gone a bit over protective of you hasn't he?" Goku added, nodding his head at his daughter.
"Well, it's natural Goku, Gohan sees Emi as a little sister and "big brother" roles kick in. once you get fully used to all this I'm sure he'll back of." ChiChi explained, looking at her daughter.
"It is nice and I do appreciate it, it's just I've not had an older brother before so I'm not used to it." Emily admitted. After breakfast, she quickly confronted the giant fish and fisted it so hard that it went skimming across the river. Smirking she eventually located Mirai Trunks and the two of them headed over to Capsule Corp.
"So, what's it like living with Goku?" Mirai Trunks asked, he'd been anxious to get to know the new member of the Son family and thought this was an ideal question to get the conversation started.
"It's great, I have a tail which I'm made up that I don't have to hide. Before I met them, I had been shifted between around foster homes and Goku and ChiChi happen to be my fifth family. I had only recently lost my fourth in a car accident." She explained quietly, not sure why this all came out so suddenly, she barely knew him.
"I'm sorry to hear. I know what it feels like to lose a loved one." Mirai Trunks sighed, she cracked a weak smile.
"Thanks, I had been with them for eight years, they were the longest that any human family put up with me for." She said.
"Now don't say that, they just couldn't keep up with your energy, your naturally a strong fighter." Mirai Trunks said, she glanced at him funnily but brushed it off. Before they knew it, they had both touched down at Capsule Corp and to their surprise they were greeted by Vegeta.
"Your back, don't tell me something else has happened." He stated glaring at his future son.
"Nice to see you too father. No mother sent me back to ensure I hadn't altered history that badly.; and to spend some times with you guys, I had no idea so much had happened." He explained, Vegeta shot Emily a cold stare.
"I know, the woman's inside. Girl what are you doing here?" He snapped, Emily narrowed her eyes at him.
"I'm here to ask Bulma something." She stated.
"Trunks has disappeared, is he in yours?" Vegeta demanded.
"How should I know? He and Goten got busted outside the mall yesterday, Goten's at home, but last time I checked, Trunks wasn't there." She said firmly, Vegeta Growled at this.
"Darn that kid!" He yelled, taking off.
"That was brave, standing up to him like that." Mirai Trunks said.
"Vegeta doesn't scare me anymore." She stated, making her way inside. As promised, Bulma was in the kitchen when the pair walked in. Bulma turned around and smiled at them.
"Emily hi! What brings you here? Oh my gosh is that Trunks? My future son? What are you doing here?" She cried, pulling Mirai Trunks into a hug, whilst Emily smiled at the sight.
"I came to ensure I didn't alter the timeline too badly." Mirai Trunks replied sweatdropping, wondering how many times he was going to repeat this, Emily stepped forward.
"And I came to ask you something Bulma." Emily added. Bulma let go of Mirai Trunks and smirked.
"Of course, but come with me first, I have something I want to show you two." She said mysteriously.
"A new invention? Cool!" Emily commented.
"Yeah, follow me." Bulma replied as she led the two out of the kitchen and down the hallway.
"I keep forgetting how big this place is." Emily sighed as Bulma stopped outside a barred door. Typing in the keycode, it opened up and she ushered the two in.
