It had been a week since Mirai Trunks had left and Emily had gone back to school. When she wasn't there, she was working out in the mobile gravity room Bulma had given her. Barely speaking to her family either, this caused Goku and ChiChi to grow more and more concerned everyday. One Saturday evening, they decided to have Gohan and Videl around for dinner. Whilst cooking the large amount of food, ChiChi spotted her daughter skipping into the kitchen, a smile plastered on her face as she began helping her mother get ready for dinner.
"What are you smiling about?" ChiChi asked smirking a bit as she hadn't seen a smile on Emily's face in days, not since Mirai Trunks had left.
"I'll tell you at dinner, it's something I'm sure dad will want to hear." She replied smugly, ChiChi just shook her head. Much later on, Gohan arrived with Videl and also noticed the change of attitude in his sister as he stared at her when they sat down at the table that night.
"Its great to see you more happier Emi." He said, Emily looked at her brother with a puzzled look on her face.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"You've been so down since Trunks left. Everyone can see it and we've all been so worried about you." He sighed.
"Sorry, didn't mean to." She mumbled looking down at her plate.
"So what was it you wanted to tell us." Goku asked smiling, Emily immediately brightened up as she remembered her announcement.
"Oh yeah. Well I did it." She stated.
"Did what?" Gohan asked.
"I went to level three. I did it a couple of hours ago." She declared grinning, everyone dropped their cutlery and stared at her in shock.
"You? Level three?" Goku stammered.
"Uh huh!" She replied, closing her eyes briefly.
"Wow. I can't believe it. Well Trunks did say you were about a month away from doing it in the hyperbolic time chamber." Gohan said.
"Yeah so I heard. I can't wait to tell him, if he comes back that is." She said, saying the last bit quietly as she suddenly looked down at her plate again, Goku just stared at her worriedly.
"He'll come back Emily, he promised you remember? Don't lose faith in him, he had a lot to tell his mother. Plus it takes a few days to refuel the time machine too." He said firmly, Emily looked up at him.
"If you say so dad." She sighed, getting up and walking out, everyone just stared after her.
"I am so worried about her. She's been like this ever since he left." ChiChi sighed, turning back to her husband.
"I just hope for her sake he does come back." Gohan added, everyone nodded their head at this. The next day Goku decided to have a spar with Emily. He hadn't had a proper chance to fight her since her training in the hyperbolic time chamber and was really impressed on how far she had come along. It had only been a friendly fight but an hour into it, Emily suddenly stopped dead in her tracks.
"What's wrong?" Goku said stopping himself now, Emily didn't say anything but just kept her gaze fixed to the sky. Goku soon joined her as he suddenly felt something too.
"It can't be." She gasped.
"Who else would it be?" Goku asked, the two continued staring as an object appeared and floated down a couple of metres away from them, landing neatly on the floor. A grin spread across Emily's face as she took off towards the vehicle. The top opened and Mirai Trunks stepped out, looking around wondering how far away he had landed. Before he had a chance to close the machine up, Emily flung her arms around his neck.
"Trunks your back! I didn't think you'd come back!" She cried, sobbing into his shoulder, Mirai Trunks just smiled as he pulled her into a hug.
"I missed you too." He said soothingly, the couple broke apart when Goku approached them, giving Emily the opportunity to dry her eyes.
"Welcome back Trunks." Goku said smiling.
"Thanks Goku." Mirai Trunks replied.
"Hey Trunks, guess what? I can go to level three now." Emily announced, Mirai Trunks grinned at her.
"That's great, I knew you would continue your training." He replied, Emily pulled a face at this.
"Yeah, I'd have done it in the hyperbolic time chamber if I hadn't knocked myself out for three weeks." She commented.
"What?" Goku cried staring at her.
"I'm better dad. I had to try and use it." She said defensively, Goku just shook his head at her.
"You mean, you performed the bomb on Albenia although you knew it wouldn't even work?" He asked.
"Well I didn't know it wouldn't work. I had improved since the accident so I had decided to give it another go. I will block that energy one day, I'm determined to." She replied, balling her hand up into a fist, Goku just sighed and nodded at this. Later that night, around the dinner table, Goku was mainly just filling Mirai Trunks in on what had happened since he'd left.
"So Trunks? What did your mother have to say about this timeline?" He asked laughing a bit.
"Well she was stunned to learn about Emi and Goten. She was amused though when I told her about you guy's fusing as she never would have thought my dad would do that." Mirai Trunks replied.
"Well it's thanks to her that we can do this. I'd hate to think what the timeline would have been like if you hadn't warned us." Goku said.
"It would have been hell. The androids must have killed the Emily in my timeline, I can't sense her anywhere." Mirai Trunks said darkly, Emily just shook her head at this comment.
"But I never started releasing a ki off until dad started training me." She argued, Goku put his hand up at this.
"Actually you were giving off a small ki at the tournament. It wasn't strong enough for people to track you but it was strong enough to sense if you really concentrated." He said looking at her.
"Oh right, never knew that." She replied laughing. Word had travelled fast of Mirai Trunks's return and Bulma had decided to host a barbecue the Wednesday after he had come back. So as Emily instant translocated out of an empty classroom to her bedroom, she began to get ready. She only had a few pieces of homework so she decided to do them now saving her the worry of them later. She was halfway through some maths when Mirai Trunks sauntered in, surprised to see her.
"Oh hey, I didn't hear you come in." He greeted, wrapping his arms around her, Emily smirked at this.
"Yeah I know. I made it so I land on the quietist floorboard in the room. I was once home for two hours before anyone realised I was here." She stated, closing her maths book as he pulled her into a kiss.
"I really did miss you." He whispered as they pulled apart.
"So did I. Things just weren't the same without you here." She replied. A short while later everyone had arrived at Capsule Corp and was immediately greeted by everyone. Goku and ChiChi was happy to see that their daughter was back to normal again and was hoping that Mirai Trunks had found a way to solve their problem, he hadn't hinted anything back home. Before the food was dished out, Emily was playing air tag with Trunks and Goten, who were both annoyed with the fact that she knew the instant translocation technique, therefore they could never catch her. She landed on a tree branch up above and stifled a laugh as she watched the two outside floating around searching for her.
"Oh man where is she?" Trunks demanded growling.
"You know, I really shouldn't have taught her how to surpress her ki." Goten sighed, Trunks glared at him.
"You did what? Goten, now she's going to get us back for what we did to her!" He cried, Goten rolled his eyes at this.
"Why didn't I think of that when she backed me into a corner." He snapped sarcastically, Gohan looked up from talking Mirai Trunks and stared at his little brother amused.
"She did what?" He laughed.
"It's not funny Gohan." Goten pouted, Mirai Trunks sighed as he put his drink down then disappeared. A scream could be heard moments later as he fell out of the tree with his arms wrapped around Emily, who was trying her best to wear a scowl and not laugh at the same time.
"Hey, that's not fair." She cried, Mirai Trunks smirked and pulled her into a kiss, causing Trunks and Goten to gag.
"Was that fair?" He asked when they broke apart, Emily shot him a sly look and smirked herself.
"Maybe." She stated smugly, Mirai Trunks just laughed as he kept one hand around her waist and grabbed his drink with the other hand then began taking a couple of gulps. Before Bulma announced the buffet open, he went over and began whispering to her. Emily who was still standing by Gohan stared curiously as Bulma looked over to her and smirked, then folded her arms and turned to her brother.
"Wonder what he's up to?" She asked.
"Dunno, why don't you ask him?" Gohan asked smirking, Emily snorted at this comment and waved her hand.
"Yeah, like he's gonna just tell me like that." She laughed. Shortly after that, Bulma silenced the party, mainly because everyone thought she was announcing the food.
"Now I know that you saiyans want your food but your gonna have to wait a moment. Trunks has asked me if he could say something. When he's done what he wants to do, then you can eat." She said laughing.
"Hurry up Trunks! I'm starving!" Goten yelled causing everyone to laugh, Mirai Trunks just stood up and walked to the front by the table.
"Right, first things first. I just want to thank everyone for helping me out with changing the future. I have always dreamed of seeing things go back to normal, so thanks." He said, everyone erupted into applause.
"Yeah! Go Trunks!" Emily yelled, causing him to smirk at her.
"Right, I have one more announcement to make and I'd like Emily to come up here please." He said smugly, Emily's eyes widened as he gestured for her to go up, then felt Gohan and Goten push her back.
"Hurry up, I really do want to eat." Goten hissed.
"Shut up Goten." Gohan hissed back. Emily went red as she felt all eyes go on her and slowly made her way over to him.
"What's up?" She whispered to Mirai Trunks, he only shook his head.
"Right, when I went home, I had explained to my mother what happened, and I've thought it over a lot. I've come to a decision that I want to remain here permanently." He announced, everyone gasped and Emily smiled.
"Really?" She asked, he nodded and to her surprise, he knelt down and began fumbling around in his pocket.
"Emily, I had no idea about the true feelings I had for you when I went back home. I love you with all my heart and I would like you to become my wife. Will you marry me?" He asked, producing a dainty diamond ring. Emily gasped as tears formed in her eyes and slowly nodded.
"Yes Trunks. I will marry you!" She cried as she flung his arms around him. The entire party erupted once again in applause for the happy couple, ChiChi crying herself now and even Bulma shed a tear.
"Finally, grandchildren on the way." ChiChi sighed as she watched Mirai Trunks place the ring on her daughters finger. The party ended in a bang and both Mirai Trunks and Emily began a new life together.
THE END
AN: There, Emily and Mirai Trunks are finally engaged. A nice weepy one at the end for me when I realised I've not written a proposal for them before. I will be writing a wedding for them, but it is very unlikely that I'll be airing it till 2005. I'll be airing Child's play next then probably a Future Vacation. And still working on Fight for the Future. So thanks for reading and please leave a review!!!
