Author: O.O whoa….I haven't worked on this in like…over a year! Well, I haven't had much time to work on this, school, work and parents X_x. Though, during my absence ^_^ I have thought up some ideas for where this will go, So!! I've finally updated, so I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story!

Rei looked upon the young handsome man in confusion. She looked between little Trunks and future Trunks with sheer disbelief. "Did she just call him Trunks?" she thought to herself.

The thought brought back a memory from her own time in a somewhat same situation. The memory was about her princess and the prince. She remembered when she and the Sailor Scouts had to go to the future and save Queen Serenity and the destruction of Crystal Tokyo.

The vivid memory brought the thought of Rini, Serena's future daughter. She felt her heart crack, remembering how much Serena had loved her, how she couldn't wait to have her. As a matter of fact, she was pregnant with her when she…died.

ChiChi watched the young priestess closely, watching the emotions flicker over her eyes like changing the channels on a television. Saw the confusion down to the look of deep pain and sadness. She felt an overwhelming sensation to wrap her arms around the girl and to comfort her and to tell her that everything would be okay, like a mother would do to their child.

She placed a hand on Rei's shoulder, giving it a comforting squeeze. Rei snapped out of her series of thoughts. She looked at ChiChi and gave her a small smile. The older woman returned the smile and the both of them returned their attention to what was happening before them.

They heard Bulma squeal with delight, running towards the older version of her son. She gave him a tight hug and a motherly kiss on the cheek. Heat burned up the back of Trunks's neck, crawling up to his cheeks. He held a smile of embarrassment as he blushed deeply.

"Hey mom." He replied, and then looked towards Vegeta who leaned up against a tree, watching him. He nodded his head towards his father of the past, who returned the silent gesture of "Hey".

He looked around the group, looked at all the people he had fought side by side with in the battle with Cell. He looked at Gohan and a bright smile appeared on his face. Gohan wasn't a little boy anymore; he was a full-grown man, and now looked like his Gohan, his sensei. Though, he looked gentler, and didn't have the hard edge look like his Gohan had.

He then noticed someone in the group he did not recognize. A raven-haired female who was amazingly beautiful and a mini…Goku!? He looked away from them when he heard Bulma calling his name. He turned his attention towards the woman.

"Sorry…what did you say?"

"I said, how come you're here," worry crossed over her face. "No new danger I hope."

"No no, of course not." He sighed, "There's nothing left back home for me anymore. Mom died a few days ago, and the people of my time don't need my protection anymore. So, I decided to come here."

"Oh, I'm so sorry Trunks." A broad grin suddenly formed on her face. "Well, you are always welcomed to stay here anytime."

Trunks smiled. "Thanks."

Little Trunks made his way over to his mother, hiding behind her legs and tugging on her shirt. Bulma looked down at him and smiled, picking him up. She looked at her young son. "Trunks honey--," She paused, trying to think of a way to explain this. "This is Trunks, um…" She cocked an eyebrow. "You from the future."

Little Trunks looked between his mother and the older version of himself in bewilderment. A scowl, a scowl seen many times on Vegeta's face, came over his own young face. "That dork is not me!"

He jumped out of his mother's arms, his own arms crossed over his chest, a stubborn look on his face, looking like a mini version of Vegeta, looking at future Trunks. He then turned and walked over to Goten, grabbing the boy by the arm and dragging him towards the house. "Come on Goten, let's got play."

Mostly everyone stared upon the violet haired boy in shock, mouth a gaped, as Vegeta had a smirk on his face. Bulma turned to future Trunks who had an eyebrow arched high. "I'm sorry about that…he has much of his father's…" She turned and looked at Vegeta. "Influence."

Vegeta snorted, leaning his head on the tree, a smirk on his face. Future Trunks chuckled. "It's alright." He cocked his head to the side, looking upon Rei again with curiosity. Bulma followed his gaze and a smile formed upon her face. She took a hold of his hand and pulled him towards Rei's direction. "I want you to meet somebody."

She brought him to Rei. "Trunks, this is Rei." She looked at Rei. "Rei, this is Trunks."

Rei smiled at him, raising a hand for him to take. He saw the friendly gesture and quickly brought his hand up to meet hers. "Nice to meet you Trunks."

Trunks smiled at her, "The same goes for you."

`Wow, he's cute! Mina and Lita would have been all over him,' She thought, with a pang of sadness hitting her in the chest. She looked up at Trunks when she heard him clear his throat. She realized that she was still holding onto his hand. She quickly released it, a small blush hinting her cheeks.

Bulma suddenly gasped, turning her head sharply to ChiChi, "ChiChi the food!!,"

ChiChi gave off a squeal, taking a forward dash towards the house, Bulma right behind her. Rei chuckled, taking a slow pace back towards the house, everyone else trailing behind her.

Upon entering, Rei saw ChiChi and Bulma dashing around the kitchen as though they were mad! Rei chuckled, heading upstairs to go to her room. She walked into her room and lied down on her bed. She placed her hands behind her head, lacing her fingers, wincing for stretching out her sore muscles.

She sighed deeply, staring up at the ceiling. She thought about the night her whole life turned around, the night she lost everything dear to her. One question plagued her mind, why was she still alive? Why hadn't the blast destroyed her like her friends?

Her thoughts were interrupted when ChiChi poked her head in through the door. "Hey Rei, the food is ready."

Rei sat up from the bed, "Alright, I'll be down in a second." ChiChi nodded, leaving and returning to the kitchen. Rei watched her leave, then stood from the bed and left the room. She saw little Trunks and Goten scramble out of Goten's room and they rushed down the stairs chanting "FOOD!!" Rei giggled at their antics and made her way down the steps, stomach growling hungrily in the process.

********

Everyone lounged around in the Son's den, chatting and eating with the exception of Vegeta, who stood silently in a corner, observing the raven priestess with curiosity. He watched her every movement with intense onyx colored eyes. Thoughts clouded his mind, who was she? Where did she come from? Why was she here? Most of all… why does he feel such a strange aura from her?

Rei stared at Goku, Gohan, future and little Trunks, and Goten with wide eyes. `MY GOD! Look at how they eat…are they even chewing?!?,' Her eyes widened even larger. `Are they even breathing!? They eat like Serena! Amazing…'

She stared at them for a moment longer then felt as though someone was staring at her. Her eyes slowly scanned the room and she turned her eyes on Vegeta, whose eyes were staring dead at her, though they seemed a bit clouded over, as though he wasn't really seeing her.

She furrowed her eyebrows; she didn't like being watched. "You know, you can take a picture. It will last longer."

Vegeta snapped out of his questioning thoughts when he heard the snide remark from the priestess. He gave her a dark scowl and noticed that everyone had a shocked look present on his or her faces. His scowl darkened even more when he heard his brat bust out into a fit of laughter"

"Hahaha!! That was a good one!" exclaimed Trunks, busting out into another fit of laughter with Goten, and soon by everyone else in the room.

Vegeta growled, pushing himself off of the wall he was leaning on. "Do you know who I am!? I am the Prince of all Saiyans! I will blast you into that wall and you'll never see the light of day ever again!"

Rei growled, standing up from her seat. "I'd like to see you try!! I'll shoot a fire ball so far up your ass…"

"Hey! Why cant we all just get along?" exclaimed Goku, standing in between Vegeta and Rei.

"Shut the hell up Kakorott with that fruity bull shit!" exclaimed Vegeta.

"Don't use such words in front of the kids!" exclaimed Bulma, looking at Trunks and Goten who were giggling madly.

ChiChi stood to her feet. "No one will be fighting in my house!!" she growled. "If I see so much as one thing out of place, you'll be dealing with me."

Vegeta sure as hell shut his mouth. He didn't want to hear that woman's bitching…she had the worst screeching voice he had ever heard, no, correction, Bulma did. Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest, leaning up against the wall, glaring daggers at Rei. `Who the hell do she think she is?! Talking to me that way! All the nerve!'

Everyone took their seats and began to calm down from the little "episode" that had just happened. Everything had settled down and all that could be heard were the sounds of eating. Vegeta glared daggers at the back of Rei's head as the priestess sat quietly in her seat, arms crossed over her chest still fuming about what had happened a few seconds ago.

Goku cleared his throat after finishing his 10th serving of food. He looked upon the pissed priestess with curiosity. "So Rei, where are you from?"

Still angry, she snapped a reply of. "No where near here…wouldn't matter anyway."

The tall Saiyan frowned from the answer. "Well…do you fight?"

Rei's ears perked up, and a smile formed on her face. She nodded her head proudly. "Yes I do actually." Her grin widened, thinking about home. "My friends and I were heroes back in Tokyo."

There was a stunned silence that surrounded the room, causing the princess of Mars to look around in confusion. "What?"

ChiChi furrowed her brows, sitting up in her seat. "Rei…hun…Tokyo was destroyed over two millennia's ago. There is no Tokyo…so…it's impossible for anyone to come from there."

Rei's eyes became as wide as saucers. She shook her head in sheer disbelief. "What are you talking about?"

Bulma cocked an eyebrow in astonishment. "You don't know the story? It's a legend that's been past down from generation to generation…everyone knows it."

She looked at the distraught look on the girl's face and decided to tell the legend. "Well there were a group of girls that were super heroes called the Sailor Senshi, and they were named after the planets in earth's solar system, mars, mercury, pluto, etc. Though, there was one scout named after earth's moon, and she was a princess, and there was a man who was also in the group too. Tuxedo Mask was his name, and he was the prince of earth, and he and sailor moon were lovers."

Bulma tapped her chin in thought. "Now about that final battle…" She pondered. "Okay, the Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Mask were fighting this evil guy….now what was his name again?"

"Chaos."

Bulma looked at the priestess in surprise, "Yea, it was Chaos…how'd you know that?"

"I told you…I'm from Tokyo."

Bulma shrugged, thinking that this girl was playing around. "Anyways, the battle was held in Tokyo…and there was this….explosion. Everything was gone, the building, the people, everything, though, there were those lucky enough to get away."

Rei looked back at Rei. "So there's no way that you can come from Tokyo, there is no Tokyo." She suddenly laughed. "Unless you're from the past."

Rei looked towards the ground, brows furrowed. Bulma stopped laughing and noticed the look on her face. "My God…you are from the past aren't you?"

The priestess shrugged. "I don't know anything anymore." She felt her temper begin to rise. She wanted to go home, to have everything back to the way they were…before Chaos.

She suddenly stood to her feet. "I'm not feeling to well." She excused herself and quickly made her way up the stairs and slammed the door shut as she entered her room.

Gohan looked around at everyone in the room. "I think we need to go to Dende. He might be able to help her."

They all nodded in agreement.

*****

Rei paced her bedroom floor, arms crossed over her chest. "I cant believe this! I'm 2 millennia's into the future! How is this possible?! Why me!?"

She growled deeply, fists punching through the air. She fell to her knees in a frustrated cry.

A faint whisper filled the room, "Rei…"

Rei raised her head slowly, turning and looking around cautiously.

"Rei…" a cool breeze brushed against the priestess face, causing her to shudder. She turned her head around slowly and what she saw caused her face to turn a ghastly white.
