xxxChapter 1xxx
Date with Destiny

It was the morning they had all been preparing for, May 12th. The day that a Mysterious Man from the Future had predicted an evil threat would appear and destroy the bustling city below them. That would just be the beginning to the Androids reign of terror if something were not done to stop them.

Rei stood next to Bulma waiting; they each held their sons in their arms.

65 Degrees, Sunny with a slight sea breeze blowing from the East. A few clouds lazily dotted the sky. Rei would hardly pick an innocent seeming day like this for the beginning of the destruction of the Earthling race. For three years her lover and her friends had been preparing for this day. It looked anti climatic to say the least, but there was too much at stake to write the whole thing off just yet.

Bile rose and bubbles in the pit of her stomach as she felt the watch on her wrist ticking all too loudly.

A sleepy Drum yawned in her arms after looking at the strangers who had gathered . Tenshinhan, Chaozu, and Yamcha waited with them. There had been comments made about the two babies but Bulma did not want to say anything until Goku was there. She was stubborn that way.

Bulma played with her sonTrunks, who giggled happily as Drum dozed off in Rei's arms. For the most part they were all quite, each of them anxious about what may happen.

Part of her feared that her time with her love may be over unless these Androids were destroyed. Trying to keep herself busy Rei tried to recall each moment from last night in glorious detail. It managed to cheer her up; she smiled lost in her thoughts.

"My you look happy." Bulma whispered to Rei, a smirk on her face.

"Yeah…" she sighed. "Oh Bulma." She sighed.

The blue haired girl chuckled to herself at her friend's comments. She knew exactly what Rei was talking about. The men however watched them with confused look on their faces. That is until they realized that Goku, Gohan, Krillen and Piccolo were incoming.

"Hey over here!" Yamcha waved them over, "Hey what kept you guys?"

It was then that they saw Bulma and Rei. Gohan and Krillen stared at them. Or rather their babies.

"YOO-HOO! Gohan you've gotten so big!" Bulma called to him as he landed smiling broadly.

"What in the world do you think your doing out here!" Goku finally said coming to land in front of Bulma. Even after the last three years Goku appeared the same. Goofy hair sprouting on both sides of his head, orange suit.

"To watch of course! Don't worry I'll go home as soon as I get a look at the androids!"

Krillen and Gohan were still staring at the baby in her arms. "Is Bulma actually carrying what I think she's carrying?" Krillen muttered in disbelief to Gohan.

"Is it your son Yamcha?" Gohan accused.

"Don't blame this on me…we broke up a long time ago. You're not going to believe who the father is." Yamcha defeated, told them. He crossed his arms defensively.

"Its Vegeta's isn't it Trunks?" Goku said as he tickled the baby under the chin.

"H-How'd you know that…? I H-Haven't told anyone yet!" Bulma asked shocked.

"Uh, well he looks like him! S-something about the eyes maybe?" He stuttered.

"But you even got his name right!"

"R-Really! WOW! M-Maybe I'm psychic!"

Bulma turned to Rei "Did you tell him?"

She raised her hands in defense "Nope, I said nothing to him about it." Bulma didn't buy it, "I swear!"

"Hum…alright…" Bulma said looking untrustingly at Rei.

Drum stirred slightly flashing his large blue eyes before closing them again, Goku reached out to run his hand over Drum's hair. He was about to speak when Piccolo suddenly chimed in.

"Is this the time to catch up on family gossip? Where IS Vegeta? That's what matters now!" Piccolo growled, bringing the day back to a solemn tone.

"How should I know? I haven't seen him in a while… But don't worry, he'll come. He was working hard for this fight…" Bulma said as she sifted Trunks to her other hip.

"He'll come I know he will….He wouldn't miss a fight." Goku reassured. "Bulma you should go home. Especially since you brought your baby!"

"I said I'd go once I see the androids!"

"Uh, I think the Namek's right on this point Goku. Better just let her be." Rei tilted her head to look at Piccolo. She recalled a conversation they had had earlier about their relationship.

"I don't care to have people discussing my private life." He had said darkly as she lay on his chest.

"Alright lover, I'll be a good acquaintance… "She had promised.

She smiled at Bulma and tickled Drum as he began to wake up, trying to ignore Piccolo. It was better not to look at him…there was so much pending on this day. Her stomach rumbled unhappily as she brushed the thoughts away.

"Someone's coming this way." Piccolo announced. "I sense no malice…"

"Maybe its Vegeta!" Gohan cried.

"Uh-Uh, he's pure malice…" Krillen corrected. Rei had to hid a grin listening them talk about her 'brother'.

Everyone was watching the sky as an air ship zoomed overhead and Yajirobe jumped out.

"I'm glad I made it in time!" he said.

"Yajirobe! Did you come to fight too?" – Goku of course sounding pleased to have more friends join him.

"Here's some senzu from master Karin!"

"Ooh! Great you can always count on master Karin!"

"Well good luck!"

"Huh? Wait, aren't you fighting too?" Goku sounded confused.

"Unlike you idiots I don't want to die. There's times even I won't join you!" Yajirobe yelled as he flew off.

"There's something wrong…." Tien said staring down at the city "it's past 10 already but there's no sign of the enemy at all...theirs something wrong…"

"Your right…"Gohan quietly conceded, the city below was peaceful enough.

"I told you from the start it was some kind of trick!" Yamcha happily proclaimed.

Rei looked at him with a look of that would have killed any man that looked, but unfortunately he did not. Of course he did not know that Trunks had even predicted his own birth.

"He said around 10. Its only 10:17, which I would classify as under 'around'. I wouldn't jump the gun just yet." Bulma reminded him, she was always the voice of reason despite being the craziest of the bunch.

When this was over and she could breathe easy again, Rei decided she would tell Bulma about her son coming to save them…and how it was her son (Trunks) who had sired her own baby – Drum. It would amuse her she knew.

"But I can't feel a single strong chi. If they're that strong we should be able to feel them no matter where on earth they are!" Yamcha argued. Of course he would argue with her…

DOOOOOOOM! A bright explosion light the sky, a plume of smoke and debris were all that remained of a small hover car.

"Wh-What happened?" Krillen stammered staring at the sudden attack.

"OH! Yajorobe!" GWOOOOOooooN! Yajorobe's car was dived to the earth covered in smoke and fire.

It was Piccolo that realized first what this was. "Look, there's something there! They've already attacked!" all eyes searched the sky; faintly they could make out two dark shadows that quickly diving downwards.

"They went down to the city!" Yamcha yelled.

"Did you see them?" Krillen asked, shaken from surprise

"No! I couldn't tell what they looked like!" Goku said, he was sweating heavily. Rei thought it was odd for him to be so strained before the fight had even started. "I – I didn't feel any chi at all!"

"Its …it's because their androids. They don't have any chi!" Gohan explained to the perplexed z fighters.

"We're in trouble aren't we?" Rei whispered aloud, drawing attention to herself. Bulma bit her lip as they exchanged a worried glance.

"That's Crazy how are we suppose to find them if we can't even sense their power levels?" Yamcha asked realizing how dire the situation may turn.

"Well if we can't sense them we'll just have to find them the old fashioned way. With our eyes." Piccolo growled from the ledge over looking the city. The wind billowed in his cape and Rei could not help but smirk at his answer.

"Right! Let's spread out you guys." Goku said confidently as he tossed the bag Yajarobie had given him to Bulma. "Bulma take care of these. Now don't try to take them on by yourself - wait for the others. Gohan check on Yajarobie." The others nodded.

"Let's Go!" Piccolo yelled talking off with Goku. The others followed and Gohan sped away towards the smoking remains of Yajarobie's car. Rei watched them go as she patted Drums's back. Bulma and she said nothing as they waited for something to happen in the city below them.

"Do you think they'll be strong enough?" Bulma asked Rei quietly after 5 minutes passed.

"They have to be Bulma. We are counting on them."

Gohan returned with Yajarobie they set down near the women just as a large explosion occurred in the city. They were silent as they watched the smoke and fire rage.

"Yamcha!" Gohan said suddenly. Rei could feel it too – he was fading quickly.

"Oh no." Bulma said beginning to fear for her friends.

Just a few minuets later Krillen arrived, carrying Yamcha. It did not look good as Yamcha slumped to the ground before them. Bulma stared at him.

"Bulma! The sensu beans!" Krillen reminded.

"Right!" She said handing the bag to Krillen.

Yamcha's eyes came back into focus as the city lit up with explosions.

"Oh my god! Did the androids do that?" Bulma asked.

"It's them alright. It looks like they just blew up half the city!" Yamcha said as he sat up, feeling better.

"Yeah no kidding!" Gohan muttered.

"I just don't know how were going to stop them you guys! I hope Goku knows what to do." Yamcha sighed watching the flames climb the buildings.

"Bulma are you sure you don't want to leave now?" Rei asked sounding strangely calm. "I can take you home if you wish – it might be best you know."

"I can't leave now Rei." She whined eyes still fixed on the city.

"Alright…" she said running her hand over Drum's head. He squirmed so she set him down on the ground next to her. Then after thinking a moment she sat down next to him. He was 2 and ten months old now and though he did not talk much – Drum was quite the talker. Drum ran over to Bulma and hugged her leg before walking over to the ledge.

"Drum don't get too close to the ledge…" Rei said warningly. She did not really worry of his balance though as he still had his tail still she disliked testing that balance. She picked him up and brought him back to be near Bulma. Drum and Rei sat down together and Rei initiated a game of patty cake before they saw the others leave the city….

"Look it's my dad!" Gohan said as the fighters left the city.

"And the androids." Yamcha noted.

"Hu? Goku is leading them away from the city…" Krillen said watching them go.

"Oh No! We've got to warm them you guys! – He doesn't know the androids can absorb his energy!" Yamcha said getting upset. Gohan stares after his dad suddenly more worried than he had been before.

"Damn." Rei whispered. Drum looked up at her and she frowned. Bulma looked to Yamcha for more of an explanation but he said nothing. He was brew-ding about how to help Goku.

"Yamcha I don't get it – you said the androids can absorb powers?" Krillen asked suddenly ending the silence.

"I – I don't know how he did it but when the android grabbed me, I could feel all the energy being drained from my body…"Yamcha explained.

"Well what in the world are you waiting for?" Bulma interrupted "Lets get moving before those nasty androids grab someone else!"

"Oh no! there's no time to lose! Come on we've got to warn my dad!" Gohan said taking off and speeding towards his father.

"I'm not so sure I want to go back down there Gohan – I mean I almost bit the big one last time…maybe I'll stay here?" Yamcha said as Gohan left.

"Gohan!" Krillen called – Gohan stopped, waiting for him. "You stay here then but I gotta help. I'm taking the sensu beans." He said to Yamcha before going to meet Gohan.

"Those two don't have a clue what their up against…and I know what those androids can do. No. I won't let what happened to me happen to anyone else. I've got to help my friends! WAIT UP YOU GUYS! – I'm coming." Yamcha yelled as he flew after them.

They were quiet for a moment. Rei hadn't really believed that Yamcha would go…perhaps she should give him more credit…maybe he was more than a big flirt after all.

"Yamcha's dumber than he looks." Yajarobie said finally breaking the silence that had over taken them. Bulma scowled at him.

"What? You mean your not going to help them?" Bulma asked sounding surprised.

"Not on your life babe."

"And WHY NOT? From what I hear you're a pretty good fighter and they need all the help they can get. So I suggest you quit being a coward and get yourself into gear!"

"I can't do it."

"I'm tired of hearing your lame excuses – get down there and help out your buddies now!"

"I don't know how to fly Bulma." Bulma nearly fell over from surprise. Rei stifled a laugh quickly. She was tempted to go herself…she hated the idea of missing a true fight.

"S-sorry." Bulma muttered.

Rei watched Drum, as he watched the burning parts of the city. She would never forgive herself if he got hurt just because she had wanted to see the androids herself. How had she been so selfish?

Rei could always fly over and see the fight – it was awfully tempting. To witness a true battle would be exhilarating. Strange how she had forgotten how much she loved to fight….

Bulma was quite for a moment before pulling out a capsule, which popped into a jet. 'That woman is determined' Rei realized as Bulma ordered them into the small jet. Yajarobie climbed into the plane after Bulma, but Rei hesitated. She could fly…get there a little quicker…but what is the point? She had come here with Bulma to keep her safe. Rei scooped up Drum and boarded the jet.

The jet growled to life sounding just as determined as Bulma looked. Rei nearly closed her eyes as they fell off of the plateau, but found her breath again when they began ascending into the sky. Rei shook her head; there was something she did not like about relying upon a machine.

"Mama where are we going?" Drum asked quietly as he looked out of the window.

"We are going to go watch your father fight." Rei whispered into his ear as she brushed his back hair back. His tail twitched slightly and he continued looking out of the window.

Rei shifted in her chair, they had been flying for over 30 minutes. Drum was also antsy to move about, but Trunks continued sleeping soundly.

Suddenly they saw a huge explosion ahead and to the left of them.

"They've got to be there! – Where that explosion was!" Bulma said as she turned the jet towards the smoke.

"Don't go out of your way to see 'em. Lets go home." Yajarobie tried to reason with her. "Goku and them got it handled. I mean you got your kid with you right?"

A jolt of turbulence hit them as someone flew by the window. Rei gasped it was the Trunks from the future!

"Did you see that? It's him the kid from the future! He must be going to fight too! So we are going the right way!" Bulma said as she adjusted the controls again.

He was too fast though; they wouldn't be able to catch up to him until he stopped.

Rei held Drum tightly, what would Trunks think of their son? She looked him over; dark black Sayian hair, Trunk's blue eyes…The more she looked at him the more she realized how much he looked like his Dad. Rei sighed, how was she going to explain to Drum that he has two fathers?

Quite filled the small compartment for sometime before Bulma spoke up.

"So Rei what are you going to say to him?"

"…I don't know Bulma. I really don't know what there is to say." It began to dawn on her that though it had been three years for her…for Trunks it had just been last night that she knocked on his door wearing the dress she stolen from Bulma's closet.

Before she and Piccolo had even gotten together…an awkward lump formed in her throat thinking about it. What would she tell him?
