AN: This is a new story I just had a thought of while watching the Big Bang Theory. It takes place in the medieval times and let me say before hand, please ignore my lack of knowledge of the whole subject 'cause I'm a hollow nut when it comes to this stuff. Anyway I hope you enjoy and check out my other story She's Mine.

The streets were crowded and were filled with the hustle and bustle of the common people. Merchants were sailing their potions, gadgets and gizmos because after all this is the age of exploration. People strolled throughout the area, holding onto their pockets tightly for in this town nothing was safe. People crowded performers who claimed to have found the cure of all illness or have been chosen by God himself and the commoners butted into each other, eager to get a look at their claims.

Down the street a carriage was being pulled by two thick ivory horses that were managed by a small young man with a sword at his hip and a set of a bow and arrow at his side. He had no experience with either but was willing to do everything possible to protect the people inside of the carriage. Through a small crevice that remained open in the rear of the cart, one could see the outline of two faces and with one glance anyone could tell you who they were. And luckily for them one person did recognize them.

"King David and his daughter Princess Victoria are here! They are here! Hope prevails!" A peasant who was previously begging for money now pointed at the carriage with his lanky finger with eyes wide with hope. People's heads turned and others rushed to the cart, pushing and shoving to either praise, beg, or promise the lords. The carriage shook and the horses neighed in disapproval. The man who was transporting the duo was now waving his sword threateningly at the herd of people.

"Back away! Back away!" The group remained unwavering and their comments roared. Things such as, "My Lord! Please pray for me!", "Spare some of your gold to the people who follow you!", "We love you King David!", and "Greatness prevails!" were shouted appraisingly and some adoringly to the people in the carriage. It shook violently and was now getting harder to control. Knights rushed quickly towards the ruckus and warded off the pack of men and women who crowded the area.

"Have you no shame! Back away from the royals!"

The group remained and the people continued to rush towards the carriage with no care to the threats being thrown at them. In the carriage, Princess Victoria was cowered into her father's lap with her arms wrapped tightly around his waist, "Father, what's happening?" David, a man in his late forties looked down at his daughter. She was only eight, and yet she knew so much. He rested his arms around his daughter's shoulders and pulled her closer into his chest. At first glance King David was a very handsome man. Dark brown hair, a strong bone structure, a beard that shaped his face nicely, and strong almond shaped eyes. He was many young girls dream of a man and he had a good personality. Aside from the facade he put on around other people of his circle, he was kind and had a large heart. But when you looked closer you could see the bags of no night's rest and the weary that donned his eyes. Nature was kind to him but fate was not.

"Our people are showing their appreciation to us. We are their leaders and leaders cannot strive without their followers. Do not be afraid of them my dear, embrace it. Do you understand?" David rested a reassuring hand on her head and she leaned into the embrace,

"I understand." This was the day Victoria learned of the necessity of the people. She learned not to be afraid of the people that showed nothing but love for her and this was also the day when she decided she would take this into action. She knew just how to do so. Make friends with a common girl. Unbeknownst to her this friendship would blossom into a strong love and with this love would bring turmoil to her, her family, and her kingdom.

(Present Day)

"Elizabeth I must tell you something but you have to promise to keep it a secret." Victoria, now sixteen, was lying flatly on her bed. Time had been kind to her. She had grown into her features but parts of her body were still shaping. Her cheekbones were strong and high, her eyes were youthful, and she had taken the curves of a mountain. Her close friend Elizabeth lay next to her, now looking at her with curious green eyes. She was a young girl, sixteen as well with blond hair and a small figure. She was a sweet young lady, and was kind hearted but brazen. No fear of speaking her mind when she knew it was necessary or when she was around someone she didn't have to filter her mouth with their presence near. And Victoria was that someone.

"Ugh, you always start secrets off like this. Just tell me what it is and stop beating around the bush." And there it was, no filter whatsoever. Victoria had to keep herself from rolling her eyes. It was times like these when she wondered why she stayed so close to the young lady but she knew why she did. She was her mouth; she knew what she wanted to say and said the things she was too shy to say. For example, 'Tell me the damned secret already."

"I will pretend I didn't hear that. But with all jolly aside this is serious." Elizabeth nodded. This was a very grave moment. She leaned in to get a better insight on what was about to be said. "You know how father says, 'The commoners are our followers and do not be afraid of them?'" Elizabeth giggled at the impression. King David did say that quite a bit.

"Yes but I can't imagine why this pertains to the secret. Stop giving me hidden meanings and tell me the good things already." Elizabeth sat up from her seat on the bed and braced herself with her arms. She watched Victoria as she soon followed suit. Victoria looked away from the girl as she thought of how to explain it to her. This wasn't such a thing royals did normally. In fact, she had known no royal who has done what she has. She began to roll her hands together and Elizabeth took that as a sign. This had to be something drastic.

"Tori did you… have intercourse out of wedlock?" The brunette's eyes widened and she wailed her arms in the air dramatically.

"No, no, no. I wouldn't do anything so…. rebellious. It's against all my values. What type of lady do you think I am?" Elizabeth put a comforting hand on Victoria's shoulder. She looked at her and shook her head. If it wasn't that then what was it? Nothing was worse than having sex without being wed. She could imagine the horrors it would bring. But if it wasn't that then what could it be? Did she swear for the first time or something?

"Then tell me."

Victoria raised her head slowly and opened her mouth to speak, "I-I made friends with a common girl." Elizabeth let out a heavy sigh. Was this all she was fretting over. If this is the worst thing she has ever done I wonder how she will react to her first kiss. Elizabeth removed her hands from the brunette's shoulder and crossed her arms. This was nothing to be worried about. Sure, many didn't do such things often but it isn't the worst of things.

"Is that all? Really? You want me to have a cow because you said hello to some girl on your merry stroll to the market? Well hurrah." Victoria stuck her bottom lip out sadly. This was big news for her! She made a friend who was off a different lifestyle of her own. While she wore silk woven dresses the other wore fleece from a goat. While one had her hair brushed one-hundred times by a servant the other easily ran a hand through her hair and walked on. This was big news!

"This is humongous Liz! I made friends with another girl of another class. What would the other royals think of me?" Elizabeth stifled a laugh. Was this girl serious? Alright maybe for someone of her tolerance this was big news but what did she want her to do? Dance circles around the bed and chant? Liz scooted closer to Victoria and put a friendly hand on her thigh. If this was big for her it was for herself too.

"Alright, who is it then? Tell me the lady's name."

The girl looked away immediately. Her first impression with the girl wasn't so good but it was a meeting. Elizabeth quirked a brow and waited for a response but none came. "Wait. You mean to tell me you don't even know her name? Oh Tori! You even have the audacity to call her your friend! This is pure gold. Wait until the others hear of this. Oh this is good enough to be in the papers." Liz was dying of laughter. She was rolling over the bed with her arms wrapped tightly around her waist. She held her laughter long enough and she couldn't take it anymore. Tori's brows were furrowed, arms crossed over her chest, a pout on her lips, and a deep blush spread over her cheeks. This was no laughing matter.

"If you think some no named stranger is you friend what do you think of me as? Your wife? Oh Victoria you are so innocent. I can't believe you!" Elizabeth squirmed wildly. She was now choking back in a fit of laughter. Her face was red and tears beaded her eyes. This was enough to make a jester cry in enjoyment.

"Alright, I understand that this might be comedic gold for you but can you be serious for one moment please? I really think this is a topic worth speaking over." Elizabeth seized her actions but a giggle made its way through time after time. Tori took a deep breath and looked at the other girl. She put her hands on her lap then took a deep breath.

"Now that we had our laughs we can get to the real intel. No I don't know her name but we did have kind of an… introduction."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean some of my tea may or may not have landed on her dress. And I may or may not have felt her chest as I was trying to rub it off. She may or may not have yelled and I may or may not have tripped over my feet and land on her after I fell." It was getting harder and harder for Elizabeth to keep her laughter under control. Was Victoria's goal to make her laugh? Because if so she was doing a fine job.

"Alright, you tarnished her clothing, felt her bosom, and fell on top of her? Oh, I would say that's a very proper greeting. You ladies are now friends forever." Elizabeth climbed off the bed and stretched the kinks from her body. Tori turned to face her with her arms still crossed over her chest.

"I may or may not have!" The blond snickered. May or may not have her arse.

"Tori if this is all you have to tell me I think I'll be on my way back home." She walked over to the corner of the room to put on her batts. She knelt down on one knee and proceeded to do so. Tori stood and walked over to her vanity to check her appearance. Now she didn't know why she did so so often, as if her face had changed while she was away but she always felt the need to see how she looked. She wanted to know how she looked when she made certain faces, how she appeared when she smiled, or how different she looked twenty minutes ago.

"Alright Elizabeth, see you soon and next time I see you I will most likely have more than her name." Elizabeth strolled up to the other and engaged her in a heartfelt hug. The two only got to see each other once in the week. They lived a hefty distance from each other, approximately sixty minutes by carriage, so the two made arrangements to meet each other once a week and if they were lucky, two. Liz let go and gave the other a smirk.

"Oh please, when you get to know her name you'll probably be calling her your sister." Tori giggled. They both walked up to the door and Tori accompanied her to the entrance. Elizabeth grabbed her bolero that was held by a servant, she muttered a 'Thank you.' and continued to the door.

"When is the next time I will be seeing you Liz?"

"How about in six days? Does that work for you Sister?" Elizabeth gave the girl a smirk. What kind of person would she be if she didn't make a joke out of the situation? It was too funny to pass off. Victoria gave a light smack to the other girls arm.

"Six days will be just fine. And by then I will have the girls name and I will know at least two of her favorite things." Elizabeth stifled a laugh. This girl would most likely find her name from a servant and figure out her favorite things from stalking her from a distance the full six days. She knew this girl too well. She wasn't the type to just walk up to someone and spark a conversation, that person had to come up to her.

"Alright, I have faith in you. I'll be seeing you then?" Two knights opened the great double doors and the two made their way to them. Victoria smiled at the blond and engaged her in another hug. Even though the time she spent with her wasn't the most 'appropriate', she knew as long as she was next to her she could never be bored and they always seemed to have a good time together no matter where they seemed to be. It was hard to find such a relation with someone nowadays. They all seemed to want the friendship of the princess for either wealth, fame, or intel. So the fact that Elizabeth desired neither but their friendship was refreshing.

"Of course you will. Have a good evening."

"You too, Sister." As Elizabeth walked away Tori really hoped she wouldn't be calling her that often.

-More Than This Can Be-

"Good morning Miss Victoria. Your morning meal is being prepared at the moment and your bath is ready. Would you like for me to assist you as you bathe?" Tori had just woken up. As soon as she stepped out of her room to get a breath of fresh air a servant had already stepped up to her. Sometimes she wished she could get just a moment alone although she knew the people were just doing the jobs given to them, she just wanted a time where she could stay away from it all.

Victoria smiled at the young girl, "Thank you but I don't think I'll be needing any help in the bath but thank you for your concern." The small girl nodded then scurried away. Tori made her way into the bath. Her clothes off and folded into the corner into the room. She stepped into the tub and sat in it with her head rested onto the -. She sighed in contentment. These were the only moments she could get alone and she relished them when they came. The warm water calmed her senses and her mind wandered.

The girl.

That girl she ran into on her way out of the tea shop was very attractive. Although Tori noticed other things about the girl other than her looks like her… her… her… personality, her looks were the one thing that popped out at her. She had such beautiful eyes, the color of sea, they were neither blue nor green, just a meeting between the two, and it was beautiful. And the girl had dark brown hair that framed her face nicely, she couldn't really see much behind the scowl on her face but she could tell she was very pretty. And she had the most wonderful shape. She had curves and a very ample bosom, after all Tori got to feel them first hand. The girl was attractive and she couldn't deny it. She had a strong aura about her too. It was strong and powerful. Something Tori hadn't seen often in the hearts of a lady. She had to see her again and she intended to that day.

-More Than This Can Be-

AN: Well that's about it. This is the Prologue so not much has happened but the introduction to Tori and her friend Elizabeth. I thought in this story it would be better with person Tori could confide in other than the other people in Victorious. Cat will definitely be in the story and so will Beck and I'll try to fit Andre but I'm not sure about the others and how they will play a role in the story. ANYWAY, I really hope that you enjoyed the story and that had a good time reading it. I hope you have a good day, evening, or night.

PS: Love you guys and review.
