Not mine…
A/n: Sorry but what else was I going to change about him. I didn't want to cut his hair either, but 99% of the people I consulted it with told me to do it. If you are going to flame because of that, don't waste your time, I will just ignore it and eventually maybe remove it. Now back to the story.
That afternoon, his prince lessons continued. This time they were going to practice proper eating and dancing. He wasn't really looking forward to the dancing part, but the food part did catch his attention. He walked in the embassy, and since he didn't see anybody around, he began to look around. He the saw a sculpture of what seemed to be a dancer. He began to try and imitate the pose, putting his hands against the sculpture's hands when he broke one of the fingers. As the finger snapped, he heard footsteps coming closer to were he was, and since he could not see a way to stick the finger back, so he put it on the mouth. Just then the queen arrived.
"Jean, you are early!"
"Yeah, didn't want to miss any of my lessons." He said nervously.
"Well then, follow me and well start right away."
Minutes later, Duo was strapped to a chair with a plate of food right in front of him. The problem was that, he could not reach the food.
"Is it a custom of some kind to strap guest to their chair so they can't reach their food?" he asked while trying to reach the food with the tip of his finger.
"No Jean, the scarf is merely a training tool, to help you sit strait, after some time you will be able to eat with out it."
"How am I spouse to learn to eat properly if I can't eat?"
The queen didn't pay much attention to this last remark, so Duo was obligated to try to stretch his arms as far as possible with out choking himself with the scarf. After the eating part came the dancing part. He hopped this was better and easier than eating. The entered a kind of ballroom, on one side there was a desk with a radio on it and Joseph was standing besides the desk. Queen Amelia walked to the desk and sat down on the chair and signaled Joseph to begin.
"Now Duo, what kind of music do you like?"
"Depends, my favorite goes like this"he said and stooped as he tried to remember the melody"oh right…I tried so hard and got so faaaar, in the end it doesn't even matter, Iv got to faaar to lose it aaall in the end it doesn't even matter…" he began to sing and jump but Joseph stopped him.
"What song is that?"
"In the end by Linkin Park, don't you guy's have that in Genovia?"
"Not really" Amelia interrupted" this is the Genovian alternative to dance music."
She turned on the radio and a music that sounded something like a tango began to come from it.
"Now this is a traditional Genovian dance" Joseph continued" it's sort of a mix between a waltz and a tango"
"It's a wango?"
"Umm," he looked at the queen, as if trying not to laugh" no, have you ever danced any of the two?"
"I don't dance waltz and the closest thing Iv danced to a tango is a song by this singer, I think her name was Shakira or something, anyway, I didn't understand a word because it was in Spanish."
"Well, the dance is something like this, uh; Marie, care to help us?" he asked as he saw her come in.
Marie came right up and Joseph gave Duo a small demonstration, then he let him do the dancing. Duo had a little trouble trying to get it right, after some minutes Marie left and both Joseph and Amelia told Duo he could go. When he got to his house, he saw Miss Johnson at the entrance. They talked a little, she asked him how he was doing with his prince lessons and he told her all about them. After some time Duo went up to his apartment and went to sleep. He started thinking how being a prince was harder than he thought, but the worst was yet to come.
The next day, as Duo and Heero made their way to school, they saw a bunch of reporters, cameras and stuff.
"What do you think happened there?"
"Don't know Maxwell, let's find out."
But as they neared the school, Lee the idiot screamed as she pointed at Duo.
"That's him! That's the prince!"
That instant all the people in front of the school started to run towards them.
"Heero Yuy! Did you say anything!?"
"Not a word I swear."
Then the rest of the gang came to help Duo get to the school (like he had a problem with not going), and then Joseph appeared and so did the principal and some teachers. When they finally got inside the school. The whole group got to the office. They sat down and the principal received a call telling her that the queen was on her way. When she arrived she sat down (after greeting Quatre and Relena which seemed to have known her for a long time) and began to see how could the news leaked out.
After some time, Joseph arrived with the culprit, Paulo.
"My queen Paulo is very sorry, some who it just slipped out…"
"Something this important just cant slip out, tell me the truth."
"All right your majesty, Paulo told on his own, but there was nothing, no money or any thing like that, Paulo hate's money…actually, there was some money involved."
"Get him out!"
And with this Joseph took him out and returned to the office, were the queen asked him to take away the principal and discuss the safety measures they would have to take with Duo. After this, she went back to the group that was there.
"Well, now that that is settled, after this accident, I spouse your opinion about not being a prince has gotten even stronger Jean."
"Well I…. what's so funny Hilde?"
"Nice name." Was all that she could say.
"Shut up, any way, I'm not really sure about his."
"Well, maybe you should ask your friends for help."
Duo looked at the whole group with his trade mark grin as some thoughts on how to actually have Heero and Wufei do what he told them to do. After negotiations ended they exited the office.
When the lunch bell rang Duo went to the top of the building, where the basketball court was. Some minutes later, Hilde appeared.
"Hey there." She greeted him. Duo, who was sitting on the stands, looked up.
"Hey baby."
"Why are you so down, because of the fact that you are a prince got all around school?"
"Yeah." She could see that he was visibly depressed. He wasn't smiling as he always did; it was more of a forced smile.
"Maybe you can use this to your advantage, now when the morons bug us, just tell them you'll send the army after them and hunt them down."
They both laughed at this idea. It was great that he had her, he would be even worst without her there now to get some humor on the situation.
"I'm going to get something to eat, want something Duo?"
"No, I'm OK"
"See you at class then." With this she kissed him good bye and went down to the cafeteria to eat. Joseph, who was standing there pretending he didn't see the 'innocent kiss', walked over to him.
"You are very lucky to have a girl like that."
"I know, she is great."
"Well, now sheer up it's not so bad; the world is not going to end because everybody knows you are a prince."
"How do you know?"
"I just do, now what do you say we have a little practice on your entrance for the banquet tonight?"
"Sure" and he walked up to the top of the stands.
"Now at the ball, you will escort the queen; but on the banquet tonight you will arrive alone…"
They kept going over it because Duo slipped on the stands several times. He was happy he had Joseph there. That night was he first test to see if he truly was prince material.
A/n: Next chapter, his frost official activity, but just if I get enough reviews, if not, Ill have to think abut it. R&R please.
