Disclaimer: Hi all this is my first fanfic so be gentle.I DO NOT OWN DBZ (how I wish I did though)

Once upon a time there was a princess named Videl. She lived with her father in a big castle with a village if front and thick dense forest surrounding them. Her mother the queen died a long time ago and never witness the growth of her only child.

Now Videl life was a very lonely one, her father the king was never around for her and she learned a lot of non-princess like things (martial arts and bareback riding to name a few.) Her father King Hercule never knew any of this for he was always traveling the country and visiting big towns to promote himself as the best king that the people ever had. Of course the people of the small land having no real intelligence believed everything he said and felt honored when he even looked their way.

You see King Hercule was king because the people gave him the title seven years ago. Before he was just Sir Hercule but when he beat the evil mutant warlock Cell gained the title of king. Cell had killed countless lives and anyone who got in his way. He plagued the countryside for a few days but everyone knew he was someone to be fearful of no matter what. Sir Hercule plus two of his best students and a healer woman took it upon themselves to travel to Gero Valley (A/N couldn't help myself.) and challenged Cell to a battle. In the end Hercule defeated Cell his students and the healer on the other hand were ranting for hours how Hercule didn't beat Cell but a little boy with hair as bright as the sun and eyes that shone green. They told how this boy and 8 others were at the valley first and were already for Cell to begin a tournament. They spoke how the boy's father with the same hair and eyes battled first and hard with magic and unknown skills, they told how he gave up and called his son to talk over. They never made it past that part for men who were near by took them the tower in an abandon castle and left them there. Sir Hercule was crowned king a week later after Cell's death.

Now today Princess Videl was in her room and was contemplating on what to do. She just turned seventeen two days ago and she needed something to do. Her birthday celebration was a big event for the people for they loved Videl not idolize her like her father; they lavished her with a monster party and gifts that really didn't please her but more to her father tastes. The only ones she truly liked were from her best friend Erasea. She's been Videl's friend for 11 years so she knew that it was pure and not false. Others tried to form a friendship with her but only to get to her money or her father. Her gifts were a personal journal and a book of romantic stories. She hid them in a secret board in her room. While looking out her window, which had a view of the forest and beyond that mountains and a hint of a lake that she could only dream about, Princess Videl saw a figure moving just outside the entrance of the forest. It wasn't someone she knew because his hair, form what she could see, was very black and very spiky. His clothes were dark and look more costly then what all the villagers had, but he was doing something very odd. He was pacing back and forth looking at the ground as if trying to find something. It most be important for he looked for almost till the sun was high above their heads (A/N let say he looked from 11am till 12 noon K) He must have given up for he took one last look around and headed in to the forest! Videl was in shock no one went in to the forest alone there were many dangers there.but the boy seemed unconcerned. By now her curiosity was so big she had to know who that was and she was very good at getting at what she wanted.after all no one can say no to a princess.
