Some people don't understand the meaning of the word FICTION. I would
delete the review, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and this
person isn't using as much profane language as the other three flames I've
deleted. To anyone who wants to flame me: KISS MY ASS. I am the HIGH QUEEN
OF PURGATORY, SATAN IS MY BROTHER, AND I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME IN THE FIREY
DEPTHS OF HELL!!!! FLAMES ARE A WASTE OF MY TIME AS WELL AS YOURS. FIND
SOMETHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR LIVES, PEOPLE. In two days, I've received
three flames because some little hormonal, chauvinistic boys think that DBZ
is so much better than Sailor Moon, and that the Sailor Senshi are weak.
Obviously, they don't know shit.
As for the rest of you who reviewed kindly, thank you. You people have no idea how much you inspire authors when you review. Before I started posting stuff, I couldn't decide what to write on any of my stories, but now I have four of them, and they've all at least doubled in length.
Anyway, I had another epiphany! Yeah! Ooh, the plot will thicken. :: Insane cackling:: Ummmm…thankies to Key for being my beta-reader. ^_^

Chapter Seven
Vegeta let out a growl as he skulked around the palace. He was in a very bad mood, and Nappa wasn't around for him to beat the crap out of. Nappa had gone to check on his mate, because he seemed to think she was weak and in need of sheltering. Nappa wasn't exactly the most intelligent Saiya-jin on the planet, but his loyalty to Rei was incredible and his ability to be overprotective was even more impressive.
Ever since last night, Vegeta had been antsy. He'd spent half the night after the party in the dojo by himself, and he would have gone there this morning, but he had had that conference with that bitch-queen. At the moment, he was stalking around the palace, looking for someone with some amount of strength that he could pound.
Luck seemed to be on his side, as he spotted Kakorot and Raditz in the hall, talking, and apparently heading for one of the palace's many dojos. Neither of them were intelligent either, but Kakorot had a lot of potential. He simply hadn't had any opportunities when he was a child to improve his skill. Now that Raditz was mated to a foreign princess's cousin, they had more than their fair share of training, and Kakorot was getting much stronger. He might even be a challenge one day, thought Vegeta, amused.
"Hello, Vegeta-sama." Raditz said politely he and his brother both bowed slightly. Vegeta quickly pounded it into their heads that he didn't like formalities from them, since they were about as close to friends as a Saiya-jin's would get.
"I hope you two are ready to get your asses kicked." Vegeta replied, leading them to a dojo, and smirking slightly. He didn't allow them to protest as he warmed up for the fight coming up.
* * *
"So…that's…my mother…" Ami said. Despite her vast intellect, she was still in shock at the day's events. First, she went from a slave to the prince's mate then, she found out that a queen from another planet was more than likely her mother.
"I think so." Makoto beamed happily. She'd been the first to note the similarities between mother and daughter. "It makes perfect sense. And Vegeta this way can't be all pissy about being mated to a slave." She smiled kindly at Ami kindly.
"I think Vegeta's going to be pissy anyway, he always is." Rei snorted.
After the queen had fainted, she'd gladly given up her chair. Now, she was sitting in an overstuffed chair. The girls had all found other chairs around the room, and were currently debating what to do about Ami and Vegeta.
"Alright, what can we do to punish Vegeta?" Minako sighed and put her head in her hands. She considered herself the goddess of love, but she was having a hard time figuring out what to do about the current dilemma.
"Well…here's what I think we should do." Said Usagi thinking slightly "Ami can go back home with Haya-sama and Vegeta will start missing her soon. You'll have to come back eventually, of course," she added "but Vegeta will learn that it doesn't pay to play pranks at our friend's expense." She finished up. The other girls grinned at the idea.
Once a Saiya-jin is mated, they tend to have the urge to spend as much time together as possible. Even if they never really liked each other in the first place, they still wanted to be together. Most of it was a mental thing, but some people suspected that it went back farther, and that it had a deeper meaning. If Vegeta couldn't spend time around Ami, he'd be restless.
Sometimes, when a Saiya-jin isn't allowed to be with his or her mate for a prolonged amount of time, they could grow quite vicious. If a Saiya- jin's mate died, the other would usually mope about for months. In a few cases however, the other Saiya-jin would die as well, though it was rare.
All the girls all liked the idea. Within minutes, they were formulating the final details to their plan, giggling along the way and cracking jokes. They almost missed the first signs of the Queen of Mercury stirring from her fainting spell.
"Oh, she's waking up." Usagi smiled and hopped over to the bedside.
"Usagi-sama…" The queen mumbled, still groggy. "I had the strangest…dream that…Ami-chan was here…" She suddenly seemed to realize that it wasn't a dream and shot up.
"It wasn't a dream." Minako said a comforting tone to her voice. "I think we should leave you two to catch up." She grinned and ushered the other girls, except for Ami, out of the room.
"Ami-chan…" The queen whispered, tears welling in her eyes. At first, Ami just stood there, unable to speak.
"Mother…" She broke into sobs, and rushed into her mother's arms. Few words were exchanged; the two just sat there, locked in a tight embrace, both crying freely.
* * *
"This is so great!" Minako cried happily, she was a sap for this kind of situation. She liked romance more, but mother/daughter reunions were still pretty high on her list of cool emotional events.
"Yeah, what are we going to do now that we've solved all of Ami's major dilemmas?" asked Usagi
"I'm in the mood for a good sparring match, how about it Minako- chan?" Makoto asked, smiling slightly. It was typical of her to want to spar during this kind of thing. She spent too much time fighting, or so Usagi and Minako thought. Rei was more often than not her sparring partner, so she thought nothing of it.
"Alright…you'll beat me, though." Minako smiled.
Back in the Moon Kingdom, Minako had been considered one of the greatest martial artists. After meeting Rei and coming to Vejiita-sei however, she knew differently. Most of the Saiya-jin-jin's here could beat her easily. If she were a Saiya-jin, she would have had the rating of a second class warrior.
While it wasn't a horrible position to be in, especially for a foreigner, it wasn't all the complementary. Raditz was a first class warrior, and he liked to tease her about it.
Makoto, on the other hand, trained with Saiya-jin's her whole life and she was ranked a first class warrior. Though she could beat quite a few elite warriors under the right circumstances, Kakorot, who had been labeled a third class warrior, could beat her into the ground any day of the week.
None of the girls were thrilled at the Saiya-jin style of rating warriors; it was based solely on birth power. Saiya-jin's like Kakorot, got the bad end of the deal. Their power spiked when they reached adulthood, but they had to keep the low rating. Some Saiya-jins who were born elite didn't gain any power after they were born, and were as weak as third class warriors, but they still had the prestige of an elite ranking. Rei was in the process of talking her father into changing the system, but the whole family, including herself, was incredibly stubborn.
No more words were exchanged as the girls made their way to the dojo; each was left with their own personal thoughts. Rei was pissed at Vegeta, Makoto was hoping Nappa didn't learn that Rei was out of bed, Minako was happy for Ami and her mother, and Usagi was wondering what was for lunch.

Well…school starts up again tomorrow. That means that it will take longer to get chapters out. Sorry…but I'll try to keep them long. I usually try to keep them over 1,000 words, which seems fair to me. Reviews seem to be diminishing, but maybe that's just my other stories. If reviews stop coming, I'll start the '10 reviews for the next chapter' thing. I think it's sort of unfair to those who are kind enough to review, but you guys give me good input, and reviews really do keep me writing. ^_^ (Flames don't count)
