"C'mon you're going to be late!" Came the voice of a raven-haired woman calling behind herself to a green shirted man holding a child.
She was quite beautiful with short but straight hair and a well defined face. She wore a green button up shirt with black slacks on.
"Link! You'd think you weren't excited to see Momoko again." She said jokingly
Link had grown taller and looked more like he did when he was seventeen except slightly more defined. His hair was golden blonde as it parted from the side of his head in a slight mess and he wore the male version of what the woman was wearing with a green dress shirt and black slacks.
"C'mon Kaoru you know that's not true I just needed to get the baby situated." Link retorted
Kaoru laughed. It had been seven years to the day that Momoko had left to start her training. Link was able to receive written communication from her as they were both still highly favored of the goddesses.
"Where's Miyako and Drake?" she asked looking down at the parking lot in front of the Foundation.
"I don't know but they're going to miss her arrival!" He said opening the door to the Foundation.
It had been an ordeal to get home but the goddesses had allowed Link to keep all of his powers that he had earned in their service which made him one of the best assets to the Powerpuff Group. As they got home and explained the situation to Blossom's parents and sister they became aware of just how deeply their family cared for each other.
Instead of treating the news like a loss they were all happy that she had finally gotten her one true wish and was able to go out as a heroine. They were privy to private messages from Blossom during the seven years as the goddesses understood the massive change that was going to take place in her life. Evidently she was very happy and the communication allowed the family to cope with any grief easily.
The Akatsutsumi clan was all there inside the foundation anxiously awaiting the return of their prodigal daughter as the lights flickered and dimmed. A light shone brightly at the center of the room and slowly expanded to form a woman with long hair running down from the base of her neck as she solidified a sleeveless tunic became visible that led to a pair of slightly larger pants that led to leather boots. And soon color started to envelop the creation revealing red hair and a red tunic with dark pants and dull brown boots. A sword became visible on the back and before them stood Momoko.
"BLOSSOM!" Kaoru yelled and ran up to her friend joining in on the massive family hug. Kuriko had grown into quite the young woman and was finishing up her sophomore year at school.
Blossom looked around and smiled, "My Family!" She squeaked happily and gave them all a big hug. She looked at the raven haired woman, "It can't be… Buttercup?" she said looking surprised.
"I go by Kaoru now!" She said and gave Momoko a hug.
Momoko looked at her and then at Link holding a small child, her gaze then returned to Kaoru with a look of shear glee.
"We named her Momoko after you."
Momoko jumped in the air and giggled wildly giving her old friend a hug that nearly stopped her breathing and went over to play with the finger of Little Momoko.
"C'mon easy now, don't you think you're going too fast? I think you're going too fast maybe we should walk a little slower!" Came a desperate voice from behind the lab door
"I told you I'm fine if you don't hurry we're going to miss Momoko!" Came a feminine voice from behind the same door. The door opened to reveal a man that looked very similar to Link except his hair was black and parted on the opposite side. He wore a blue tee shirt that said, "Future Best Dad!" on the front and was holding the hand of a large woman with skinny arms and long curly blond hair.
"Drake! Bubbles?" Momoko stated with a blank stare as the two turned to see her.
"MOMOKO!" The woman in the blue dress shouted and ran over and gave Momoko a big hug, which caused the man to go into a fit and nearly faint.
"Drake I told you to stop worrying so much the baby will be fine!" The blond haired one said turning to face Drake.
Momoko got an excited look on her face as she looked and could see that it was obviously a baby belly hidden under a beautiful blue dress.
"Bubbles?" She asked excitedly
"The name's Miyako now!" she said winking her eye.
Momoko looked behind Miyako to see Drake just shake his head in angst, "And Drake?"
"Drake Gotokuji." The man corrected.
Since Link and Dark Link had no last names they took on the names of their spouse.
"When?" She looked at the four.
"About a year ago for us and about six months for them." Kaoru stated smiling
Momoko just reached in and hugged the group tightly, it was quite evident that she'd gotten a lot stronger during her training.
They turned to see Ken who was now putting his arms around Momoko's sister Kuriko. She smiled and they both smiled back.
They spent the day catching up as Momoko explained all about the training that she had gone through and how much she'd missed being home. "So what do you do now?" She asked the group
"Well Kaoru and I are professional soccer players for the New Townsville titans and we haven't lost a game yet!" Link smiled with his arms around Kaoru
"I was never the sporting type so I teach at the school whenever Miyako isn't off showing off her new fashions." Drake smiled looking at Miyako
"So you're finally a famous fashion designer!" Momoko said excitedly
"Yes and actually I've been holding off my first fashion show waiting for you to come back. What do ya say want to be a fashion model.
"DO I!?" Momoko sat straight up with stars in her eyes, "Wait till Roy hears this!"
"Roy?" The group looked at each other just as Link noticed a small ring he'd seen before
"You don't mean Roy Eliwoodson of Lycia do you?" He asked
"Yes but how did you know?" Momoko asked with a blank stare
"He is one of the legendary swordsmen chosen like I was, like you are, to protect the multiverse. I've met him in my travels from world to world." Link explained
"It looks like he was quite smitten with you!" Drake said pointing towards the ring on Momoko's finger
"I meant for it to be a surprise!" She said blushing a little as her parents ran up and gave her a hug, "He will be coming in later so you can all meet him. The goddesses said that since we were both chosen in the same destiny we could share it together and we wanted to marry on this world for my family." She said gasping for breath
"What about his family?" Link asked
"They are allowed to come here too." She said finally braking free of her parents tight grip.
"Well it looks like everything worked out in the end." Link smiled and held Kaoru a little tighter.
"I guess it did!"
Just then small white belts began to flash and Link and Drake got up, "We'll take care of this." They said in unison.
"Oh no not without me your not!" Momoko said and pulled her sword from its sheath.
