The sun was just creeping through the living room window when it hit the eyes of the lavender haired prince from the future. Sitting up, he looked around confused until he remembered where he was, then sighed as he remembered what day he was. Getting up, he crept upstairs to the bathroom then made his way downstairs to make some coffee. To his surprise, he found Emily in the kitchen, already making a pot.

"Hey, how come your up so early?" He asked.

"I don't sleep well anymore." She replied, passing him a cup and started taking hot sips of her own, trying to wake herself up.

"You know I'll come back don't you?" He asked, suddenly, she stared at him and placed her cup on the worktop.

"Yes, I know." She sighed as he walked over and pulled her into a hug. They broke apart when footsteps could be heard and Goku and ChiChi appeared, staring at the two knowing they'd interrupted something.

"Are you two ok?" Goku asked, staring mainly at Emily who smiled weakly at him and nodded.

"I'm fine." She replied, picking up her cup and taking another gulp. Goten was down much later than towards lunchtime, Mirai Trunks decided he would be best leaving.

"I'll come back as soon as I can." He promised, pulling Emily into a tight hug, she could feel the tears starting to form in her eyes again.

"Alright, I'll see you soon then." She replied as they broke apart, one by one, all the members of the Son family said goodbye to Mirai Trunks. As, they all gathered around to see him off, Emily stepped back then Goku placed his hand on her shoulder. Emily smiled as she watched Mirai Trunks climb into his time machine, then starting it up, he hovered it into the air for a few moments, waving madly to the others before he disappeared. Everyone sighed as they went about their normal business.

"Are you sure your alright?" Goku asked looking at Emily.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm heading over to Bulma's I never got a chance to ask her what I needed to ask her last week." She replied.

"Alright, don't be too long." Goku sighed.

"I won't dad, see you later." Emily laughed, taking to the air. Meanwhile, what seemed like hours to him, Mirai Trunks finally touched down outside his home, which was still being repaired after his defeat of the androids three years before. Jumping out of his machine, he capsuled it up and made his way inside.

"Mom? I'm home!" He yelled, then suddenly saw a figure appear in the kitchen doorway as Bulma ran up to him and flung her arms around him, much to his surprise as he hugged her back.

"Trunks! I was wondering when you were coming back, you'd been gone for over a week. How is everyone?" Bulma asked.

"Everyone is fine mother, actually ten years had passed since they fought cell believe it or not." He said.

"Ten years huh? That's pretty strange, wonder why that was then? Oh well, did you see your father again?" She asked, pulling away from him.

"Yeah, he's still determined to beat Goku, who got wished back to life fighting another monster. Oh yeah and he and my dad merge. It's called fusion and my present self can do it with Goten." He rushed out.

"Well that's typical Vegeta. That's incredible, who's Goten?" Bulma asked, Mirai Trunks grinned as he realised how much had just come out.

"Oh, he's Goku's second son." He explained.

"Goku has a second son? Wow, that I wouldn't think would happen." Bulma cried, Mirai Trunks nodded.

Yeah, and he is literally the spit of Goku too. He has a daughter too, Emily. She's half saiyan to a guy called Radditz but they adopted her." He said, Bulma stared at her son in shock.

"He has a daughter too? Well that is typical of Goku to do that. Well you certainly did well changing that timeline. So how come you were gone so long?" Bulma asked, as she ushered son into the kitchen. Meanwhile back in the present timeline, Emily had arrived at Capsule Corp and spotted Trunks in the front garden, sparring with an invisible partner.

"Hey Trunks, is your mom home?" She asked, touching down.

"Yeah, she's in the kitchen Emily. Is he gone?" Trunks asked.

"Uh huh, he went about half an hour ago. Could have been more, I was in deep thought coming over here. Anyway thanks." Emily sighed as she made her way inside. True to his word, she found the ageing scientist in the kitchen, bent over a coffee maker, pouring a cup out. Bulma turned around and smiled at the saiyan teen.

"Oh hi Emily, is everything alright?" She asked.

"Yeah, I came by to ask you something. I was planning on asking you last time, but a certain someone came first." Emily laughed.

"Oh yeah, typical men huh? Sure what is it?" Bulma asked smiling herself now, as she took a sip of her drink.

"When you guys held that party after the tournament, I noticed a gravity work out room. Is there anyway I could get hold of one? I've been advised to start working out in gravity." Emily explained, Bulma smirked at this.

"Hm, you want a gravity room huh? Well I happen to have a mobile one I was planning on giving to Vegeta, but since he's pretty much stuck on the house one, I'll let you have it. Here, I thought it'd come in handy one day." Bulma replied, tossing Emily a capsule.

"Wow, thanks Bulma. I want to keep up with my training, but apart from spars with my dad, I had nothing to work with." She said, catching it and examining it, Bulma nodded.

"Any time, it's good to see your finally getting used to all this. You were so shy at the tournament. Not that I blame you, Radditz was a dodgy fighter." Bulma stated, shaking her head.

"As far as I'm concerned, Goku is my father. Radditz used me, a father would never do that." Emily said darkly.

"So has Trunks gone?" Bulma asked, wisely changing the subject, obviously Radditz was still a difficult subject for the teen, Emily nodded.

"Yeah, he left a short while ago." She sighed.

"Well listen, if you need to talk just swing by alright?" Bulma asked.

"Alright, thanks Bulma. I'll see you later." Emily replied, leaving Capsule Corp and taking off. Meanwhile, back in the future, Mirai Trunks had explained everything to his mother including the years worth of training in the hyperbolic time chamber with Emily. Then he decided to explain his feelings for her too, it was best to get it all off his chest now.

"I really do love her mom, but she's right. I can't see how this is going to work. She's in one timeline and I'm in another." He sighed, Bulma smiled at her son, she had been waiting for so long to hear that he had found a special lady, and was glad that she was the same as him.

"Listen Trunks. Love is the key to everything. Well what your best doing is think about whether she is really worth a big change." She stated, Mirai Trunks shot his mother a curious look.

"What do you mean?" He asked. Meanwhile back in the previous timeline, things had slowly gone back to normal. Goku and ChiChi slowly stopped worrying about Emily, who was still quiet for the rest of the half term but soon perked up when she started back at school.
