Forbidden Romance
Chapter 7
By: Lex

My father announced me again and this time I did the only thing I could. I started to walk up towards the
stage. I took one step after the other. Never looking back. Soon I came upon the stage and I went gracefully up the
steps and went to stand next to my brother. I let my eyes wander over to the stranger I had been dancing with. I could
see the surprise in his eyes, even from here. I let out a very small, soundless laugh. And I looked at him again. His
shocked face soon turned into one of happiness and pleasure. I was confused at this at first but soon my father calling
Gohan up to the stage knocked me out of my transfixed state. Gohan came up and stood on the left side of my mother and
as soon as he was there my mother called Goten up. My eyes went searching for where he was but I could not find him.
Then my eyes went back to where the stranger had been and I saw that he was not there. My eyes went searching again
but soon I didn't have to search anymore for I heard footsteps coming up the steps of the stage. I slowly and nervously
turned my head to see who it was. But in my heart I knew whom it was along. I just didn't really give my brain enough time
to notice it. And as my eyes fell on the Goten I was amazed to find that he was the one I had been dancing with, the one
who had had me transfixed the whole time.

During the whole speech that my mother and father were saying, I kept finding that my eyes kept looking towards
Goten. And every time I caught myself I would look straight back into the crowd of people. But as my eyes looked towards
Goten again, I saw that he was looking at me too. Out eyes met and we just stared. Then a small smile spread across my
face. I took my eyes away from him and looked back into the sea of people once more.

That night and for many nights to follow we kept meeting in the garden of the palace. We would sneak out into the
night to meet. We would talk and sometimes kiss. We always had to be careful though, for if we were caught meeting god
knows what could and would happen. But I didn't want to think about that. I knew when I came into this relationship what
I would be getting myself into. I was so happy being there with him, well I was anyway. I was until one night. One
night changed everything. Everything in my world got turned upside down just from that one night.

Eep! That was soooo not meant to be that short! But oh well. The next part will be out sooner than this one was.
I was just being lazy with getting this out. Just wasn't motivated to write. Anyway, my usual thanks goes out to those
who reviewed my last chapter. And please review. Later! ^_~
