Rei was just third wheeling with John Smith and Pocahontas.
Rei was perched on John's shoulder.
They were still enjoying their boat ride.
Then heartless started to form in the water.
Rei saw them and panicked.
"John, I'm scared."(Pocahontas)
"It's ok, I'll protect you. Rei, stay close to me."(John Smith put his hand over Rei protectively)
Rei pushed John Smith's hand away and flew towards the heartless.
"Rei! It's dangerous!"(John Smith)
Rei pointed her two pointer fingers at the heartless and burned them all in the water.
John Smith and Pocahontas were stunned.
"Wow. That's why you're here?"(John Smith)
Rei nodded slowly.
"Well, that's incredible!"(Pocahontas)
"Well, we better get back to land if we want to stay safe."(John Smith)
They row the boat to land.
They went to grandmother willow.
"Grandmother Willow? Why do you only appear when it's just us? How come you don't show yourself to The Trinity?"(Rei)
"Because, them knowing about me is not part of the destiny. If I show myself to them, then different things might happen."(Grandmother Willow)
"Rei, what were those creatures?"(Pocahontas)
"They are called the Heartless. They are formed by people's hearts that got stolen. But when we kill the heartless then the people go back to normal. But sometimes the heartless is so strong that it takes longer to beat them."(Rei)
"Have you ever had trouble with them?"(John Smith)
"Me personally, no. But I'm from a kingdom and I'm technically a soldier. So my powers are a bit more multiplied."(Rei)
"That's amazing!"(John Smith)
"But, that's not your whole story is it, Rei?"(Grandmother Willow)
John Smith and Pocahontas looked at Rei.
"Oh, of course it's not. But I'm so done with giving that story out. We should really go check on them."(Rei)
"Ok, but first. I want to check on my tribe."(Pocahontas)
"Should I come with you?"(John Smith)
"I don't think so. You should stay and look after Rei."(Pocahontas)
"Ok, you're right."(John Smith)

Rei and John Smith stayed with Grandmother Willow.
"Grandmother Willow? Should I really just stay here?"(Rei)
"What do you think, child?"(Grandmother Willow)
"I want to check on everyone. I think that the Trinity could be in trouble since I really don't trust that guy. But I also want to know where the heartless are coming from. And I really think that the tribe are getting targeted.
"Well, you can just choose where to go. Whatever you choose is the right path."(Grandmother Willow)
Rei hesitates to make a decision.
"How about you John? Where are you going to go? Should we split up or go together?"(Rei)
"I don't know. I think together. I think you'd be my guard more than I'm your guard."(John Smith)
Rei nods in agreement.

The Trinity
The Trinity caught themselves fighting Radcliffe who turned out to be a ugly hideous heartless.
"He's too strong!"(Sora)
"No! We don't need to bring Rei into this! She has other things to do."(Donald)
The Trinity got the damage good enough, but now Radcliffe is dishing out powerful attacks.
"I know what to do!"(Sora)
Sora takes out the Poke Ball and let Vulpix out.
Vulpix burns Radcliffe and Radcliffe gets weaker and weaker.
The Trinity finishes it off.
They all high five each other and celebrate.
Then little by little the natives started to arrive.
"Thank you, trinity for saving our land! And the colonizers are welcome to join our land."(Chief)
Pocahontas appears.
She opens her hand and there Rei was!

Turns out. Rei and John Smith went to the tribe to check on them and get rid of the heartless infestation and protected the village and the people were beyond grateful.
They welcomed Rei and John with open arms.
When Pocahontas opened her hand.
Rei flew to Vulpix and hugged it.
"Vulpix!"(Rei)

They all get on the gummi Ship.
"Well, it was nice working with you Rei."(Goofy)
Rei nods at them and goes through the portal and greets Tiana.
"Hey Rei! Did you do well?"(Tiana)
"Yes,"(Rei)
Rei follows Tiana to Henrique's apartment and goes to sleep.

Rei wakes up and rubs her eyes as usual. Then she checked her communicator.

"Is Rei back yet?"(Mina)
"Yes, I am! It was a long ride but I'm here."(Rei)
" I have something very important to tell you guys, but I'm wondering if I should text it or if I should tell you guys in person.
On one hand, I don't want record of what we say, but if I ask Hawk then it will sound suspicious."(Mina)
"Mina, what is going on?"(Rei)
"I gotta go! I'll decide in time, or wait for the opportunity to tell you guys."(Mina)

Rei blinks her eyes in confusion.
"Rei? Are you ready for breakfast?"(Henrique calls to her)

Henrique made vegetable porridge for Rei.
"Rei, did you enjoy the trip?"(Henrique)
"Yea,"(Rei)
"Did you really or was it just another trip?"(Henrique)
"It was just another trip"(Rei said in a bored tone)
"Rei, is something the matter?"(Henrique)
"I don't know...Mina said some weird things in the group chat."(Rei)
"Like what?"(Henrique)
"To be honest, she talked a lot but she didn't say anything at the same time."(Rei)
"Hmm."(Henrique looked concerned)
"Do you know what's going on with her?"(Rei)
"Why no. I would have no clue. She won't even tell Hawk."(Henrique)
"Well, it's not like she's at a secret telling relationship with all the giants."(Rei)
"Hey, don't call us giants."(Henrique joked)
"What do I call you then? You guys are not even human"(Rei)
"That's true. Just call us all adults."(Henrique)
That does sound like a better term than 'giants'. No matter what word they use, it's always belittling. However, adults sound like a better connotation.
