Dreams Within
"Free the dream within. The stars are crying. A tear, a sigh escapes from heaven and worlds end." Princess Bra sang staring up at the midnight sky from her balcony overlooking the entire Saiyan Kingdom.
"Be the dream within. The mystifying. We fight and sing. Traped within. Look beyond were hearts can sing. Dream in peace. Trust love believe." Bra kept singing.
The young princess eyes began watering up as she sang her sad song. The lyrics about dreaming of freedom came from her trapped heart. All her life she had been a prison behind the castles wall. She knew she was the princess therefore she must be protected but an event when she was a baby hand caused her parents to take their protectiveness to another level.
Princess Bra had overheard her brother talking to a friend why their parents were so over protective of her. The story was that when she was a baby one of the greedy noble in the land plotted to kidnap the baby princess and threaten to kill her if the king did not give up his throne to him. Fortunately the royal guards found out about the intended kidnapping and arrested the noble before he could kidnap the princess but the close call frighten the queen that she insisted her daughter not be allowed to leave the castle ever.
King Vegeta agreed fearing the safety of his precious little girl. And so it was that a wall was built around the castle separating it and the princess from the rest of the world. When she was little Princess Bra didn't mind. Why should she? She had no idea there was another world beyond the castle's wall, until she began reading. One day after spending the day with her mother the princess wondered off to a new wing of the castle she had never been to before. There she found a room full of books. Not boring history books she was made to read by her royal tutor that taught her how to be a princess and rule the planet if anything would to happen to her family. These books were adventure books, mystery books, fantasy books, books that described a magical land Princess Bra had never heard about.
Full of excitement of her new discovery the young princess ran to find her parents and tell them all about the worlds she had read about in the books thinking they did not know about them. Her parents were shocked and denied that there was such a world. The princess was disappointed, but believed her parents for she was so young she believed everything her parents said we true because they knew everything in her mind. To get her daughter's mind off what she had read Queen Bulma hired the best music instructors on the planet to teach her how to play the piano, violin, and the harp.
Princess Bra soon forgot about what she had read and devoted her time to her music, which she loved with all her heart. She also began singing, but she didn't need a teacher for that. The princess had a beautiful and power voice. However, the memories of what she had read that day when she was five years old came back to her as she got older and started writing her own songs. Being a smart girl it didn't take her long to realize that there was indeed a world out there past the castle's wall. When she confronted her parents they simply told her the other world forbidden. That it was dangerous and she would never be allowed to go there.
This news broke her heart, but there was nothing she could do. Except sneak into the library late at night and read about the world. She would dream about what it would be like to actually leave the castle. She would take the visions in her dream and write them into her songs.
"Free the dream within. The voices calling. A song, a prayer from deep inside you to guide you. Be the dream within. The light is shinnying. A flame on the wind. Salvation begins. Look beyond where hearts can sing." Bra finished on a sad note……
"Bra?" Queen Bulma knocked gentle on her daughter's door.
"Come in mother." Princess Bra answered quietly walking back into her room and sitting on her bed.
"We need to talk." The queen said in a nice voice sitting next to her daughter.
"About?" Bra asked looking at her mother.
"Well you're 18th birthday is coming up and that means you will marry you're betrothed Goten of the Son family." The Queen informed Bra.
"No! Never! Never! Never! Never!" Princess Bra screamed throwing the brush she was using to brush her long hair at her vanity mirror shattering it into pieces.
"The arrangements have already been made." Queen Bulma stated trying to calm down her teenaged daughter.
"DADDY!" Princess Bra screamed getting up and running out of her room straight to the throne room where the King was.
"Bra! Stop!" Queen Bulma order running after the furious princess.
"Daddy!" Bra called running into the throne room interrupting an important royal meeting.
"What's wrong princess?" King Vegeta asked concerned as his baby girl ran and hugged him.
"Mom's trying to marry me off to Goten!" Bra explained to her father.
"Tell her she can't!" Bra demanded excepting her dad to say his usual "Of course my lil princess, anything for you" but to her shocked the king stayed quite.
"Omg. You're in on this." Bra realized stepping away from her father.
Authors Note- Is Vegeta really part of Bra's arranged marriage or will he save his little princess from marrying Goten?
