Disclaimer: I don't own any of the dbz characters or the show, they belong
to God's lost brother Mr. Akira Toriyama; so don't sue (If I did own them
I'd drag Gohan of to my room and lock the door!)I do however own Maria she
is a figment of my imagination and does not make an appearance on the show.
A/N: in this world ki, the dragonballs and Saiya-jins and androids don't exist so this means that Goku and Co. are just really skilled martial artists and are human. This takes place in a place like the city in Aladdin.
Videl lay on her bed and sighed. Being a princess was so boring…she wished she could fight like the people they had watched in the ring, but she wasn't even aloud to get her fingernail dirty. Her maidservant Maria entered the room. "What are you going to do to-day Videl?" She asked. "Run away." She answered off-handily, wishing she could. "Well if you are going to." Said Maria dropping her voice. "To-day would be the day to do it. Your father and most of the men in the castle are negotiating peace in the next country and the castle will be virtually empty." Videl sat up. She hadn't been serious but now… "What about you?" She asked. "Won't you get punished?" She was worried about Maria; she was the only friend she had. "To-day is my last day remember? I retire to-morrow." "But what about the guards? Won't they still be here?" "I'm sure I can get my friend Bulma to sway the captains mind." Said Maria winking.
Bulma was the captain Vejiita's wife. All Videl knew about her was that she was also in a position of power and that there had been some scandal years and years ago about there getting to-gather, but she had never been informed what it was. Videl had never actually seen her, but she was known throughout the castle as Beautiful Bulma. Vejiita she was quite familiar with, and she strongly doubted he would do anything to help anyone, let alone her who he didn't really like.
"Don't worry it will work." Said Maria. "But won't I be recognised?" "We'll disguise you." Said Maria. "I have some servant rags I can lend you, and we'll cut your hair to make you less recognisable. Vejiita will pretend to see something and distract the guards and we'll sneak you out while there gone." Maria was practically quivering with excitement. Videl could tell she'd led a pretty boring life as a maidservant. She gave Maria a hug. "Thank you." "No worries."
Videl stood outside the gate of the castle cold and high on adrenaline. She looked up at the gates that had hidden her from the rest of the world all her life. She had wanted nothing more to be outside them and now here she was.
Memories of her childhood and her father ran through her mind – learning to walk, aching to fight, being forbidden to do anything and memories of the way her father had always been strict and nasty – and pampered her and through people out of the castle for her. She dismissed them from her mind. Couldn't start thinking about that now, not now that she was finally free.
She wandered through the streets, intrigued by the world she had never known. People in carts proclaiming the stock they had, women and children wandering through surly looking men standing bored in the background waiting for their wives to finish their shopping. She wandered the streets for a good many hours, checking everything out and becoming familiar with her surroundings.
It wasn't until nightfall when everyone had gone that she realised she had no-where to stay.
A/N: Yeah I know that chapter was boooring but it gets better I promise. Plz R&R! Don't mind flames just review!
