A woman's shattered dreams

Chapter 2: The renewed friendship and androids

Rei was talking to her long time friend catching up still not believing that Bulma could be Earth but the power she sensed couldn't be a trick so she knew. "So how is the hime of the moon?" Bulma asked. "Her and your brother have been married for almost 2 years now and are planning to have their daughter in 3 years." Rei said. "Oh Small Lady?" Bulma asked. "How do you know about her?" Rei asked. "Well..Pluto came a few weeks ago for my niece to visit so I met her then." Bulma said. "How come you haven't joined us?" Rei asked. "Because I made sure you girls didn't know about a huge threat against the earth." Bulma said. "What threat?" Rei asked. "Androids." Bulma said. "Androids?" Rei asked. "They are supposed to attack next week." Bulma said. "And you are the only one who is going to fight them?" Rei asked. "No, my husband and his friends are going to fight them." Bulma said.

"Are they strong enough to do that?" Rei asked. "Besides us they are the strongest beings in this Cosmos." Bulma said. "Are they stronger?" Rei asked. "By brute strength yes but by magic means no." Bulma said. "Wow..no wonder why I sensed something from your husband." Rei said. "I think he has sensed your planet power luckily since I found you I can quickly teach you on how to cover up your planet power from their senses." Bulma said. "So that's why you've been able to hide these years..you've masked your powers." Rei said impressed. "Yes, but I have one exception to that..my son..he traveled into the past here to warn us about the androids. So we know that an island a bit distant from here will be the first place to be attacked." Bulma said. "Could it by chance be that cute infant's future form?" Rei asked pointing to the sleeping infant in Bulma's arms. "Yes, it is his future form." Bulma said.

"Pluto brought him?" Rei asked. "It might have looked like a time machine brought him but it was an illusion I made. Yes, Pluto brought him." Bulma said. "I have a feeling that Usagi is going to be coming here." Rei said. "The Princess..here?" Bulma asked. "Yes." Rei said. "But how you said so yourself that no one would be most likely to find you." Bulma said. "Well Usagi has like a 6th sense and has found me everytime." Rei said. "Oh." Bulma said. "She probably already sensed that I was pregnant before I even knew because last week we were going to the amusement park and she kept me off almost all the rides that women who are pregnant shouldn't ride." Rei said. "Well my brother did say that Usagi was one in a million." Bulma said. Rei took an exasperated sigh and then fell back on her bed. "You must be tired.I'll let you get some sleep we'll talk later." Bulma said. "Bulma..arigato..for letting me stay here I wouldn't have found a place to stay." Rei said.

"What are best friends for?" Bulma asked. Bulma closed the door and Rei just laid on her bed and slowly fell asleep with no blanket on for it was too hot.

**The next morning**

"Rei are you sure you don't need any help?" Bulma asked worried as her friend puked in the bathroom. "I'm fine." Rei said in ancient Latin which only Bulma understood. "What did she just say?" Bulma's mother asked. "She said she's fine." Bulma said. Rei came out a few moments later pale in the face. "I hate this." Rei mumbled. "It's only for the first trimester." Bulma said handing Rei a hydration pill. "Iie, I might bring that back up." Rei said. "Take it." Bulma urged. "Ok." Rei said and took the pill. Moments later the color in Rei's face returned and she wasn't getting sick. "Rei you are going to have a hard time when you have more kids when you're married." Bulma said. "I'm not having any after this." Rei said. "Really?" Bulma asked as if she knew the future. "Yup." Rei said as she sat down. "I have a feeling that you'll end up there with me when the androids come." Bulma said.

"Damn straight I'm coming." Rei said with a smirk. "You are too much like back then." Bulma said. "Why thank you." Rei said getting up and doing a bow.

**In Tokyo**

"So you mean to say that you are going to get Rei?" Luna asked. "No, I'm just going to stay by her side she is my friend..and she needs someone to talk to while she's pregnant." Usagi said. "How did you know about her being pregnant?" Luna asked. "I sensed it.somehow I sensed it." Usagi said. Luna looked at her princess and then sat onto her lap. "I'll come with you." Luna said. "Then lets go I can sense that she's in West City." Usagi said and then teleported to West City in an abandoned ally way. "I sense she's at that place." Usagi said pointing to the Capsule Corporation building.

**Back to our normal setting**

Rei sensed her friend and hime near and looked at Bulma. "I knew that she would find me." Rei said. "Wow..I haven't seen the hime in thousands of years." Bulma whispered. "Bulma dear a girl is at the door." Bulma's mom said. "It's her." Rei said getting up from her seat. "Rei-chan! I was soooo worried about you!" Usagi said carefully hugging her best friend. "Usagi- hime there was nothing to worry about..Mamoru's sister has been taking care of me." Rei said. "Momo-chan's sister?" Usagi asked. "Long story don't want to talk about it." Bulma said. Vegeta went to his wife and saw the blonde haired young woman hugging their guest. "Usagi-hime..that's Vegeta he is a bit temperamental from what I've seen." Rei whispered to Usagi in a really low tone in Lunarian. "He looks a bit tensed up and agitated like he has hemorrhoids." Usagi replied to a low tone of Martian. Rei couldn't hold back laughter. Bulma then asked in low Latin. 'What's so funny?' "Usagi- hime just said that Vegeta looked tensed up and agitated like he has hemorrhoids." Rei replied in Martian. Bulma couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so damn funny?" Vegeta asked. "An old joke." Rei replied in English. "You females are so annoying." Vegeta mumbled and then went to his training room. Right after Vegeta went around the corner Rei and Bulma got on one knee to show respect to the future queen of Tokyo. "You shouldn't be here." Rei said coldly. "Why not you are my friend and you are expecting so you need someone to be there to help you through your dark times." Usagi said. "No, you are in grave danger here..especially when Monday comes." Bulma said. "Why?" Usagi asked. "Go back to Tokyo and take care of the threat there while the Special Forces take care of the one here." Rei said. "Ok..but I'll come back when it's time for your baby to be-" Usagi was cut off. "No, you will listen you are staying home." Rei said. "Well then I better go than huh?" Usagi asked. "Yes, you should because we don't want you dead." Bulma said. Usagi understood and hugged Rei one last time and hugged Bulma. "Take care of her..Earth..she is a very loyal scout." Usagi said to Bulma. "Don't worry I'll help her when it comes to the baby." Bulma said.

Usagi left and never contacted the girls to tell them that Rei was pregnant or that she was in West City. "So who are these members of the Special Forces?" Rei asked. "Good question.they are going to be at that island Monday you'll be able to meet them." Bulma said. "Well how can you mask your power?" Rei asked. "Easy..use your planetary crystal and wish for your powers to be masked from discovery." Bulma said. "Ok..I'll try it." Rei said and summoned her Mars Crystal. "I wish to mask my power so I won't be discovered." Rei said in a silent whisper. The crystal glowed and then faded back into Rei's body after the wish was granted. "Well can you sense anything?" Rei asked Bulma. "No, I don't sense a thing but if I was in my senshi form I could sense you a mile away." Bulma joked. "Ha ha very funny." Rei said. "Well you won't be able to fight much so you will have to be able to generate a shield." Bulma said. "I know how to do that." Rei said. "Ok lets see if you can make it form." Bulma said ready to throw an item at Rei.

She threw the item and Rei didn't even have to on her command form the shield it formed on it's own. "Wow.it's pretty powerful it might be able to block off energy blasts as well." Bulma said in thought. "Well what are we waiting for lets train ourselves in case your husband and his friends can't fight these androids off." Rei said getting excited. "We can train but you can't fight." Bulma said. "I know." Rei said. The two trained in secret at night while Vegeta and the others were asleep.

**The next Monday, May 13 9:00 A.M. 9 Miles from West City on an island**

"Bulma what are you doing here with a baby?" Yumcha asked while looking at a cute infant in his ex-girlfriend's arms. "Oh I see this must be Trunks, Vegeta and your son." Goku said. "How do you know about Trunks I didn't tell anybody and do you know that Vegeta is the father?" Bulma asked. "Uh..just a guess." Goku said. "Who is this woman?" Krillen asked pointing to Rei. "Oh this is my best friend Rei.Rei this is the Earth's Special Forces." Bulma said. "Nice to meet you all." Rei said doing a bow. "If you are pregnant why are you here?" A green alien asked. "Piccalo that would be a bit personal." Bulma shot back at the Namek. "I want to see this new threat to the Earth.oops." Rei said covering her mouth. "How does she know about the androids?" A boy asked. "Rei here has psychic abilities Gohan." Bulma said. "Well we have an hour until the androids come so lets talk about things." Goku said. "Well for one Chi-Chi gave me a hard time to convince her that Gohan was needed for this fight." Goku said.

Rei liked these guys they were really nice and really strong. "So how far are you?" Goku asked Rei pointing towards her stomach. "Uh..I don't really know.last time I went to the doctor was when I found out..so I'm around 2 or 3 months." Rei said slightly embarrassed. "Why are you here..you can get hurt." Goku said. "I came here to meet you all..I've heard a lot of good things from Bulma about all of you." Rei said. "Strange I sense something being masked in this girl." Piccalo thought while searching for life ki from Rei. "Plus..I know a bit of fighting skills as well." Rei said which surprised everyone except Bulma. "But." Gohan said trying to find words to say. "I've been in more dangerous life threatening situations than this so I'm used to it right Bulma?" Rei asked Bulma. "It's surprising that you've been able to survive all you've gone through." Bulma said.

"How many battles have you been in?" Vegeta asked. "One most likely everyday depending on how mad the enemy is at us." Rei said. "Us?" Goku asked. "Me and my friends." Rei said. "How long have you been fighting these enemies of yours?" Vegeta asked. "It a different series of enemies mostly every year..it all started when me and my friends were 14." Rei said. "14?!" The guys asked. "Yes, it's funny really cause all these enemies only want to get our leader's crystal to take over the whole Cosmos but they always fail." Rei said with a laugh. "So your leader must be really strong." Vegeta said. "At first when we all met she was a major crybaby but then grew up while our wars got more intense and severe." Rei said. "Usagi-hime used to be a crybaby?" Bulma accidentally asked in English. "Usagi-hime?" The guys asked. "Bulma..that's only the beginning of the story you should have heard what Luna told me when she fought her first youma it was hilarious she scrapped her knee and then started to bawl." Rei said.

Bulma laughed hard. "Hard to believe she'll be queen in 3 years." Bulma said in Latin. "You're telling me." Rei said. A huge explosion then rung from the city. "Look its them!!" Yumcha yelled pointing to two dots flying into the city. The guys flew down (-Gohan) to fight the androids. "Well how 'bout putting all that training to the test?" Rei asked. "Training?" Gohan asked. "Iie, they don't know about the sailor senshi and knowing Vegeta he'd kill us in a nanosecond before asking questions." Bulma said. Gohan looked at Rei and Bulma with a confused look on his face. "Oh Gohan don't listen to our bickering it's just a whole bunch of nonsense." Rei said trying not to blow their cover that she accidentally blew if Gohan knew what she was talking about. "Don't worry I won't tell anybody that you two are sailor senshi..I heard about them in Tokyo." Gohan said. "Thanks Gohan." Rei said. "No problem." Gohan said.
