"Justin!" Bra exclaimed ecstatic to see one of her few friends from the castle standing in front of her. Justin wasn't just her friend he was also one of the rising royal knights.
"What are you doing here?" Bra asked as she hugged him tightly. This sort of display of affection wasn't proper between a princess and a knight, but no one was around to witness it. Besides Bra had known Justin all her life.
"I've been looking for you Princess." Justin answered returning the hug before bowing before her formally.
"I'm sorry Justin, but I'm not going home. You know very well how miserable I was there." Bra spoke in a sad tone.
It was true though, Justin knew exactly how unhappy Bra's life in the castle had been growing up, because he had comforted her many times when the pressures of royalty broke her down into tears.
Justin had started off as a stable boy and one of his most important duties was to prepare the Princess's pony for her. It was during these far-gone years that the two became unlikely friends. Justin was the only one in the castle the same age as the princess and since her older brother never wanted to play with her Bra decided to befriend him.
Justin resisted at first, not because he didn't want to be friend with Bra, but because she was after all the princess. Bra assumed he was just shy but the truth was Justin knew his place in life. The princess was also aware of this unwritten rule, but was determined to make Justin her friend and what the princess wanted she got.
King Vegeta wasn't so set in the old way to deny his little princess from having a friend even though he was a commoner. Once Justin had permission to speak to and spend time with the princess they became fast friends. Growing up only brought them closer and they became best friends.
They remained inseparable until Justin turned twelve the age where boys began their training to one day become a knight in the royal army. Princess Bra was thrilled for him, having no idea that this meant their friendship would never be the same. At first it didn't seem that would happen, but as Justin moved up the ranks of solider Bra spent less and less time with him.
Finally the day came when Justin began his training to be a knight. Part of the tough training was to go on dangerous mission. Bra had no idea Justin had been sent on one until Trunks began teasing her that her little boyfriend had left her for battle. Bra was devastated because she knew once Justin became a full fledge knight he would have to serve her and a friendship between them was impossible.
In fact the next time Bra even saw him was months later at the annual ceremony to knight the newest recruits. It was very difficult for Bra to stand before her childhood best friend and look down at him as just another servant, so difficult she left the after party early for fear of losing it and crying before everyone.
"I'm not here to take you back to that prison of a home to marry Goten." Justin assured the princess.
"Oh Justin I knew you wouldn't betray me! We can runaway together and be best friends again!" Bra smiled throwing her arms around who she thought was her savior and gave him another hug.
"I'm here to kidnap you in order to someday become king by marrying you and becoming a prince." Justin revealed his plan making Bra pull away from him, a look of absolute disbelief on her beautiful face.
Authors Note – Looks like everyone's after Bra for their own personal advantage. How is she going to get out of this one?
