Guess what I own? NOTHING! ^_^' Also I forgot to say that Duo lives in a boardinghouse.

Duo bursted out laughing.

"Yeah right lady...hahaha...I'm a prince...hahaha...that's the best joke if heard in some time."

The queen seemed somewhat taken back by the young pilot's answer. She could logically see he was not taking it seriously.

"My dear boy, you really are the prince of Genovia. And I am Amelia MiƱonete Thermopolis Renaldy, the queen of Genovia."
"Lady...hahahaha.... you've got the wrong kid...hahaha... the last thing I can be...hahaha... is a prince."

"Do you know anything about your family, Duo?"

"No...haha... only that my parent's where casualties of the war...haha... I have been in the streets ever since." he said, still chuckling.

"Then can you prove me wrong, can you prove that I am not your grandmother?"

Duo stopped laughing. He looked at the woman directly in the eye. She seemed really serious for this being a joke. He sat up strait and drank some tea before talking.

"Would you lie to me, knowing my history, in telling me that my family is still alive?"

"Of course not, that would be cruel from me! But think Duo, don't you see that what I'm saying is real?"

"Then tell me, how did I lose my parents to see if our memories are the same or alike in some way."

The queen sat back and sipped some tea in a way Duo had only seen Quatre and Relena drinking. She took a deep breath and began to talk.

"15 years ago the war for independence between the colonies and earth began to be more fierce. There was a conference between the major nations in the earth sphere to try and make a plan to get peace. I was sopused to go as the queen of my country, but got sick and coudent go. Your father decided that I should stay behind and he would go, taking you and your mother with him. Some time after the conference began you decided to take a walk around or something because you got away from your parents and the conference room. Some time after that when you where at a safe distance...a bomb blew the whole conference room away. There were no survivors, but there was one missing person...you. 13 years later, when Operation Meteor began, I was informed at once and when information from the pilots was gathered I received part of it. And I saw you and at once began to look for you, but I coudent find you until some days ago, here in San Francisco."

Duo paid great attention to the story and realized it did have a similarity, he remembered the blast, and walking away from his mother to go out side where he had seen some kids playing. He had started running like crazy when he heard the explotion and had gotten out side the building. He had wandered the streets alone for some days when Solo found him and took him in. He told all this to the queen and she smiled.

"See Duo, you are a prince, Prince Jean Claude Philip Renaldy of Genovia."

"But I can't be a prince! I'm not the be-all-charming-and-well-behave-stick-to-rules-royalty-don't-talk-bad type of guy, I'm more the bad-ass-carefree-I-don't-care-a-fuck-about-what-other-people-think-anoing type of guy, I mean, I speed pass red lights on my way to school, I have my own motorcycle, which doesn't work but you get my point, I have never been a leader in anything except for the gang when I was a kid."

"Oh Jean..."

"Duo"

"Duo, with my help you can learn to talk, walk, eat, dance, sit like a prince."

"Lady, your missing my point, I DON'T want to be a prince."

With this Duo picked his backpack and ran out of the embassy, got into his car and drove to his house. While he escaped from the place, the queen was talking to a man, the head of security, so he would watch out for the boy. Duo got to the building and ran so fast up the stair's that he almost ran down a woman.

"Duo! Watch where you are running young man!" it was the landlady.

"Sorry Miss Johnson, if an person with a weird accent and that definitely seem foreign comes over, tell them I'm not home, I'm sick, I'm dead, anything!"

With this he rushed to his apparment and slammed the door. He changed his closes, dropped on his bed and fell asleep instantly. The next morning he was woken up by someone knocking on his door. He got up and checked his alarm clock. It was 6 o'clock in the morning. He groaned and got back to sleep when a voice which he reconiced as Miss Johnson's.

"Duo; wake up or you'll get late to school!"

Duo got up and walked to the door and opened it. There standing where the landlady...and his grandmother.

"OK, that's it I am going back to sleep, wake me up when SHE is gone..." he said as he started to walk back in when Miss Johnson grabbed him by the braid.

"No way young man, you are going to be late for school, I guess you've gotten late this week I was away."

"They moved my name to the end of the roll call." He said blushing a little.

"Anyway, I can see there is a little family fight here, so I have an idea. Ill give you a solution to the problem. Duo, you wont say no to the offer till that ball you talked to me about..."

"What ball?!" said Duo trying to escape the woman's hold but couden't.

"The Annual Genovian Independence Day ball."

"Oh no, that's it, I'm not wearing a tux!" and with this he got to escape Miss Johnson's grip and closing the door with a bang.

"Duo I'm not finished! Your grandmother has been talking it over with me because I'm the one in charge of you now!" She screamed at the pilot on the other side of the door.

"And that gives you the right to chose my life for me!"

"Duo, you won't say no, but you won't say yes either!"

Duo opened the door a little bit, just enough for he's face to be seen. The expression on his face resembled that of a little kid when somebody doesn't take him to a toy store.

"What do you both say?" she looked at the queen and then at Duo.

"OK."

"Al right then, that is the best choice." The queen answer like if was some important decision or something.

"Al rigth, Duo get dressed, your grandmother is giving you a lift." With this Miss Johnson left leaving the young pilot to get dressed while royalty waited. After some time he had his uniform on and was going down the stairs.

"Listen, before when go to school, I have to pick up a friend."

"Well then don't tell me, tell your driver."

"Whoa, I have a DRIVER. Like in I don't have to drive to school."

Just then he saw two limousines. The queen told him which one was his. He got in and took a look at the driver, who was actually the queen's head of security.

"You must be Jean Claude." The man asked with an understanding smile.

"Yeah, but just call me Duo."

"O.K, I'm Joseph, but you can call me Joe."

"How about Joey?"

"Haha; no, Joe."

With this they left for school. Heero coudent believe that Duo had a limo or that they where going to be early for school. The day went on with out much commotion until the afternoon. After school Duo went to meet his grandmother for his first prince lessons.
