The Future
By Miraibulma & Miraichichi

Disclamer: I don't own Dragon Ball Z so don't sue me ok?

To avoid misunderstandings: This takes place after the boo saga. All charcters are at the ages they are after that. Miraitrunks on the other hand is about 35 years old. He's come far from the future. Miraichichi is much older. Oh I forgot "Mirai" means future.
In Trunks timeline Cooler has attacked Chikyu (earth) and has destroyed many cities on across the planet. The destruction he has caused is far worse than that of the androids. Trunks must return to the present DBZ time line to get help.
Enjoy the story!

Goku and the Gohan arrive at Mirachichi's house to relieve Piccolo of his sentence.

"Hey." Goku said as he walked through the door. Miraichichi's face fell. Piccolo had told her the fight seemed to be over. And they would come for him soon (at least he hoped).

"Hello Goku." She said holding back tears. Piccolo rushed outside.

"Um you want to come to Trunks place with us and hang out for a bit. We'll bring you back on our way out."

"No."

Goku walked over to her and took her hand lifting her from the table. She looked much older than the chichi he left home; And much weaker. He recalled the day they first met, they were just kids. He liked her back then even though they didn't get together till long after. He'd always admired her strength. But now she looked so sad and tired, none of that strength showed anymore.

"You remember when you told me, I gave you strength?"

"Yes." It was after Gohan had been born. Not only was he a big baby, but she was in labor for 24 hours. He'd asked her how she did it when everything was over because the pain seemed worse than anything he'd endured in battle then or now (she had a natural birth). She said she was strengthened when she looked beside the bed and saw him holding her hand with the most loving, worried look on his face.

"How about now?" Goku asked. Miraichichi lowered her face and shook her head. Goku put his hand under her chin gently and pulled it up to his face. Her eyes looked away from his to cover her embarrassment. He put his arms around her and hugged her tightly.

"I loved you." She whispered.

"I know." He said then kissed her on her forehead. They held each other for a long time as Chichi cried softly in his arms.

"I did something," Miraichichi started but Goku put his finger to her lips.

"Don't worry about it," He said.

From the author: It's been years since I updated this story and I'm truly sorry. I started college and just didn't have anytime. But I'm back and I'm going to finish this and start the sequel I was doing with "The Present". I honestly hope you enjoy
