It had been a few years since I had to sneak out to see Shar and now we see eachoher often seeing as he's allowed to visit the palace whenever he wants. After I told Father about Shar he went and told a messanger to go tell Shar's parents, who I now know as Burter and Jeice of the Ginyu Force, that Shar was allowed to visit whenever he wanted. Though, now, we have things have gotten complicated. Shar's warrior training has intensified and my grandfather has been making me meet princes and princesses from other planets that may or may not be under my family's control. Atleast he took in the option that I might be gay while he's been trying to set me up. I was drawn out of my thoughts when I see Shar running up to me grinning like an idiot. I smirk waiting for him to reach me
"Hey Frost! I get the ENTIRE week off training!"he says the sweat gleaming off his purple skin and his white hair stuck to his forehead
"Did you run here all the way from the training grounds?"I ask. The training grounds were a good distance away from the palace and why anyone, but Shar, would run from their was beyond me.
"Well, yeah! I had to tell my best friend that I get to spend the entire week with him!" the grin never left his face and it caused me to smile. He could always cheer me up no matter what was wrong.
"Shar, my grandfather has set up a date for me tomorrow."his grin falters at that
"Oh. Well, who is it? A prince or a princess?"
"A prince, but I've seen a picture of him and sorry grandfather. I'd rather die a hundred deaths." we both laugh "Oh, I need a gaurd since this prince can get violent."
"Your dad agreed to this?"
"Agreed? He and Father don't even know!"
"Wow...wait. Are you asking me to be your gaurd? If this guy trys ANYTHING with you I WILL beat the crap outta him." I blush, but quickly shake it off. What is with me being so shy around him now?! He's my best friend! "Hello? Snap out of it Frost!"
"Sorry, so do you accept?"
"'Course! An innocent thing like you needs protecting." I playfully push him and he acts like I stabbed him in the arm. We share a playful banter on the way to the palace. Shar bows respectfuly as Grandfather passes while he doesn't even spare my friend a glance making me roll my eyes. Shar just shrugs and we continue onto the garden when we relax. It was an escape from everything since no one, not even my family, would bother us unless it was absolutly necissarcy. Shar, using the speed he inherited from his father, runs to the bench sitting down and grinning at me. I smirk and roll my eyes walking over to the pond in the middle of the garden looking down into the water.
My friend walks up behind me and I smile at the reflection in the water. I had seen my parents like this before, but Dad had his arms wrapped around Father's waist and his head on his shoulder. I kind of wanted Shar to do that, but he's my friend. He'd never think of me like that. Shar puts his hands on my shoulders and shakes me
"Wake up Frost!" he laughs and I lightly hit him in the stomach with my elbow causing him to double over holding his stomach "Ok, you win that one."
"When do I not?"
"A race?" I act like I was going to hit him, but I was smiling. He grins and playfully flinches back before we both laugh. We fall into a comfertable silence for awhile before a servant comes telling Shar that his parents needed him, so he waves goodbye and leaves. I watch him to go and sigh
"My prince, your uncle wishes to see you."the servant says
"Tell my uncle I shall be there soon."I say not even looking at her
"Yes my prince."I hear her scury away like one of those Earth rodents I read about. With one last glance at the water I walk back into the palace to find my uncle.
