I'm SO sorry for not coming out with this sooner but I had other things that I was doing. Well, it wasn't mostly that. This
chapter was last due to the fact that I'm having server problems. And it's beginning to annoy me! Well, actually with the
Internet coming and going like it is I never really had the time to post this, plus I had writer's block and still do. So
I hope this chapter doesn't suck to bad.
Forbidden Romance
Chapter 5

I could see the castle through the trees. It's high white towers peaking over the braches. Then I started to see
the front gate or entrance to the castle. I saw 3 guards by it. The horses were slowly trotting up towards the heavy metal
gates. We were soon at the entrance and were stopped by the guards. "What do you want?" asked one.
"To enter into the palace of course." Stated Goten. The guards looked at him funny and you could tell that they were
not going to let them in. Gohan was about to tell them who they were but I just wanted to get it over with, so I pulled down
my hood and said something.
"Open the gates now. I said with a firm voice. Or I shall deal with you and then have my father do so as well." They
immediately had a look of recognition on their faces and they obeyed. As we were walking through the gates though, one guard
asked what the other 2 must have been thinking.
"I'm glad that you are now home princess but what are you doing on the same horse as this man?" He asked innocently.
"That is none of your concern." I said. Then we went the rest of the way in. As soon as my arrival was know, servants
came out of the palace and fidgeted over me, taking me away from my companions. I was taken to my room, where a bath was
already drawn. They made me undress and get into the bath but then they left me alone. I leaned back in the tub, stretching
out. The warm water felt nice on my skin. I wondered briefly where Goten and Gohan might be but I guessed that they were most
likely in one of the guest rooms, doing the same thing, only perhaps taking a shower. I reached for the soap and started to
make circular motions over my skin. After I was done washing and relaxed again. I looked around my lavish bathroom, seeing
the marble floors and walls and many other things. I then started to let my head get closer to the water, until it finally
was at water level. I then quickly pulled my head underwater, letting my once dry strands of hair become wet.
I had been told right after I had gotten out of the bath that there was to be a banquet and a ball that night. It was
in honor of the two who supposedly brought me back and it was also for my return. I had picked out a dress; I hoped that
everyone would like it, especially Goten. I blushed as I thought about that. The ball was to be a masquerade. So I also
had a mask that went with my dress. I looked down at my regular dress then to the one I was going to wear to the masquerade.
I sighed and stepped out of the room and went down to the dining hall. The doors opened for me and I walked in. There was an
aisle straight down the middle, with tables on either side, with of course the head table at the head of the other tables. As
I walked, I could feel eyes boring into me back. I saw Gohan and Goten at the head table, in the places of honor. I smiled at
both of them and took my seat next to my brother. I had Gohan sitting on the other side of me. I smiled at Trunks and
whispered into his ear, "I thank you again brother for what you did. I missed you while I was gone." He smiled and said
quietly that he had missed me too. My father announced his thanks to the two generals and welcomed me back. The banquet
went on, eating, talking, eating, talking and so on. But soon it came close for the ball and we all departed. I went up
into my room to change.
I had changed and was now looking out my window, there were LOTS of people here. Hundreds, I think. And they were all
coming for the masquerade. I laughed and went to look in the mirror one last time. I looked at my reflection, and liked what
I saw. The severity of the gown enhanced my classical features, and the warmth of the color set off the fairness of my
complexion. I smiled and put my mask on my face and headed towards the ballroom.
When I got there, everyone was already dancing. For I was late, I had got hung up in talking to a friend. I tried to
act casual as I walked down the steps towards the floor but it was hard because everyone was looking at me. Sure they didn't
know who I was but still, it was nerve racking. I took a breath, straightened, and descended another step, another. There
I stopped and whirled the cloak from my shoulders. All eyes seemed to be on me, and they all seemed stunned. 'I wonder if
people think that I am pretty?' I wondered to myself. As I was finally on the floor, some of the younger gallants pressed
forward to seize my hands and kiss my fingers. I looked down at them, amazed, the lifted my eyes.....
And saw a look of jealously in every girl's eyes. And I knew that I was truly a success.
