AUTHOR'S NOTE

Hey! Do you remember me? Probably not, because my writing sucks. If you read my bio, you would know that I am not working on 'Go Skiing' anymore. I quit on that. What can I say? I'm a quitter! It's just that, the storyline got boring once I got more into it. Oh yeah, also I decided to ditch my other way of writing, you know with all the brackets and stuff. I was harder to write that way. I'll just write. Oh yeah, and again, light criticisms are welcomed. Don't over criticize though! If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Anyways, I know my old excuse 'this is my 1st fic' won't work anymore, but my writing sucks, so I use that as an excuse. You wanna know the couples in this story? Well this story is for the SORATO, MICHI, KENYAKO, and TAKARI fans, because those are the couples. I really am sorry if this is a crappy story! Emphasize really! Oh, yeah, and I'm gonna use English names, except when they're introducing themselves or I'm introducing them.

AGES ARE: (I know a lot of the ages don't follow the show at all, but these ages seem to fit more for my story)

Title of Chapter- OH, JOY! (Sarcasm)

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Our story starts on an early day. It's dawn and our prince is just getting up, from his peaceful slumber. A servant opens the French doors (a/n: you know what I'm talking about, when I say French doors? I mean that they're double doors) walks in a very large chamber, fit for a royal. (a/n: well, duh! It's the prince's room!)

"Your majesty, please awaken!" the servant said gently, yet loud enough for the prince to hear. The prince still sleeps however. Then the servant gently taps the sleeping prince on the shoulder. "Your majesty, 'tis a new day. You must be awake, for you have studies today." The groggy prince, yawned and woke up, not totally, but still awake.

"What?" the prince said sleepily.

"Come now, you must get dressed you highness, your literature tutor is coming early today." The servant said cheerfully.

"Very well." Said the sleepy prince as he unsteadily got up form his bed to get his outfit for the day.

"Thank you your highness, after you are done getting dressed, breakfast will be ready." Said the servant promptly as she went out the chamber.

"Alright" said the prince as he got dressed.

$#$#$#$#$#$ Breakfast Hall $#$#$#$#$#$

"Good morning, son!" greeted King Malcolm (a/n: I can't remember his dad's Japanese names, actually, I don't remember any of the parents Japanese names, but I remember some of their English name's) to his eldest son, Prince Yamato as he walked into the large breakfast hall. "Aren't we are a little late now?" King Malcolm addressed to Yamato (a.k.a. Matt) as a signal that Matt was late.

"Sorry Father, I overslept." Matt replied as he went over to the queen, his mother and gently kissed her on the cheek as a sign of humbleness. Then he took a seat at the long breakfast table, right next to his younger brother, Prince Takeru, also know as T.K.

"I know you were late, that's why I sent the servant to wake you." King Malcolm stated back. "But let's get on with the feast." King Malcolm stated as he pointed to their breakfast on the table, which was already there before Matt came.

"Yes Father." Matt said obediently as he began to eat.

"So T.K., I heard about your troubles in math from your tutor, the other day." Malcolm stated as he ate.

"Oh, yes Father. I'll try to get better at it." T.K. stated back, not in a sarcastic mood, but in a wanting to please his father mood.

"You had better, son, because math is power remember that. Besides what are you having trouble in with that subject anyways?" The king stated.

T.K. blushed, "The whole number idea confuses me, sir." (a/n: of course he'd blush. Why? For two reasons. 1) he is talking to a king, that's scary. 2) he's 14 and he has troubles with numbers) Matt smirked at T.K.'s comment. T.K. glared at him.

"Matt, do be nice to your brother." Queen Nancy said, in a motherly tone.

"Yes, Matt you should be nice to your brother. And it's not like I have gotten great reviews from any of your tutors either. They have been saying that you've been trying to skip lessons here and there." Said the king. Matt gave a guilty look and stared down at his plate. "Matt, I'm not going to be around forever, and when I pass on, you will be king. And as king you should be wise to the people and in order to be wise, you must be smart, and in order to be smart, you must not skip lessons anymore. Understood?"

"Yes Father. I understand my role as the oldest heir to the throne." Matt said as if he said it before and rolls his eyes.

"Good. Now go on to your lessons. You are excused." The King directed to Matt.

"Yes, sir." Matt said obediently and walked out the doors.

"Um, Father," T.K. asked, when Matt left.

"Yes." The King answered.

"Well, if Matt is the one who is going to be king and all, I do understand that he needs to be wise and have lessons in all types of subjects and such, but what about me? I mean I'm the youngest prince. I don't really need to learn to be wiser do I? So if that is so, then I guess I really don't have to have lessons for anything, do I?" T.K. said casually and not as a smart mouth. The king gave T.K. 'the look.' T.K. gulped. "Never mind." He said.

"Nice try son." The Queen smirked.

$#$#$#$#$#$ In the Study Room $#$#$#$#$#$

Prince Matt walked in the doors and spotted his literature tutor in the room. He went that way. "Good morning Professor Smith." (a/n: Sorry, I know I'm Japanese, but I live in America, I don't know any Japanese last names!) Matt greeted.

"Ah, good morning your majesty. And how are we today?" Professor smith greeted back.

"Oh fine, Professor." Yamato said.

"Good, now let's get started. We will read Shakespeare today. How about a comedy?" Matt shrugged, because he didn't care. "Okay, let's read 'Love Labor's Lost.' today." Professor Smith pulled out that book and handed it to Matt indicating him to read it. Matt doesn't really get the picture and has a confused look on his face. "Well, go on your highness, and read." Now Matt acknowledges it and grabs the book and starts to read. And every couple of lines or so the professor stops him and asks him what was going on in the book. After the Professor realizes Matt knows the storyline, he stops interrupting Matt. Matt just keeps on reading a loud.

((((((An hour or so Later((((((

Matt is still reading the book. Then he stops for a quick voice break and looks at the professor. You would never have guessed it, but he's sleeping! Well you could have probably guessed it, but that's beside the point. He's sleeping. You know what that means for Matt. 'Wow how much do my parents pay this guy? He's not suppose to be sleeping! Oh well, his bad, my luck though' Matt grinned and sneaked out the door. Matt wasn't what you'd call the perfect Prince heir. He was very lazy with his studies. I mean, yes a lot of the village teenage girls and the lord's daughters did have a crush on him. Not just because he was a prince either, but it was because he was very handsome. He had golden blonde hair and icy blue eyes that would make any girls heart melt. But he didn't really care much for girls. He much rather be playing sports with his friends and listen to band's play music. Matt hated being the oldest prince with all the duties and stuff. Sometimes he'd wish that it had been T.K. that was older and T.K. had to be the king. But then he'd realize what he was thinking, he didn't want to be king, then he'd laugh to himself and takes his wish back. Matt went out the castle doors into the royal garden.

"Hey! What took you so long?" Shouted a bushy haired brunette.

"Hey Tai! Sorry, I had to pretend for a while that I was listening." Matt shouted back.

"How'd you get out the time? What was the excuse?" Tai questioned as they came closer to each other and walked over together in the archery field.

"No need for that this time. It was my literature teacher. Fell asleep in an hour." Matt smirked. Tai smirked at this comment as well. Who is Tai you ask? (a/n: It's a rhetorical question. Those of you who watch Digimon, which is probably all of you should know who's Tai. But I'm explaining his character in the story.) Tai is actually short for Taichi, Taichi Kamiya. He's the son of Lord and Lady Kamiya. He is truly quite a character. He is good at sports too, archery being his best. (a/n: I know, soccer is his best sport, but I'm not sure if they had soccer back then. And if they do, sorry.) His best friend is the eldest Prince of the kingdom and they are both very much alike. Both ditch their studies to play sports. Both aren't exactly scholars. And sometimes they even think the same. The only clear difference in personality between Matt and Tai were girls. Matt didn't care much for them, I mean he's not gay either, but Tai, well, Tai had his chocolate brown eyes set on one girl. Mimi Tachikawa. His appearance was different to Matt's too. He had bush brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. Anyways, back to the story. Matt and Tai finally reach the archery field and set their bows and arrows ready to shoot.

"Is this a contest this time or are we just practicing?" Tai asked.

"A contest? Yeah, I know you want one, because you always win. You being the winner of every major archery tournament you know." Matt stated sarcastically.

"Yeah I know." Tai stated not know, Matt was being sarcastic. They began to shoot the arrows. "So it's settled right? We're having a contest."

"Whatever." Matt says.

((((((An hour or so Later((((((

Tai shoots an arrow and it hits the center again. "So the score is me, 38 and you, 7. I guess I win again." Tai states as he does a little victory dance.

"Whatever." Matt says casually. Just then a girl appeared, heading their way. "Who is that?" Matt said squinting his eyes.

"I don't know." Tai says as he looks in that direction too.

TO BE CONTINUED.

JOKING! Here's the story continued. It's not the end of the chapter yet. I don't want to leave you with a cliffhanger! ~:o)

CONTINUING~

The girl approached closer and closer to the two boys. "Hey guys!" she squieked.

"Oh it's Mimi!" Matt says stupididly, because how can he not recognize his own friend?

"Oh yeah huh?" Tai blushed out of stupidity too.

"So playing archery again, huh? Who won? Let me guess, Tai." Mimi said. Both boys nodded in agreement as if to say duh! Who is Mimi you ask? (a/n: Again, anther rhetorical question.) Mimi Tachikawa is the daughter of Lord and Lady Tachikawa. She is very girlly and friends with a lot of people, but Tai and Matt are her best friends. She is also Tai's secret crush. She has brown hair and brown eyes.(a/n: her hair is suppose to be pink, I know. But considering that they didn't have hair dye back then, I thought I'd leave it at it's natural color.) Anyways, back to the fic. After Mimi stated her comment, she began to think. 'What was I going to say' She squinted her eyes and then remembered. "Oh yeah now I remember what I was going to say. Matt your dad wants you back in the castle." Mimi says as she points to the castle as if Mat doesn't know where it is.

"What for?" Matt questioned.

"How am I suppose to know. Do you know how rude it is to question royalty?" Mimi acknowledged to Matt.

"Oh no you don't think he's gonna punish you do you?" Tai bursted out scared.

"For what?" Matt asked.

" What do you mean 'For what?' You obviously ditched lessons for over an hour. And didn't you tell me that he already gave you a hard time for that?" Tai said.

"I bet it is!" Mimi shouted as if that was the only reason why the King would summon Matt like that. And pointed to Matt

"I bet it isn't!" Matt mocked Mimi, pointing to her. Mimi glared at him. Matt sweatdropped.

"Well anyways I better get going. You know before my dad gets mad at me some more. Bye!" Matt shouted as he walked back towards the castle.

"Ten bucks says that he's not going to make it out alive." Mimi and Tai stated in unison. They then looked at each other and blushed. (a/n: I know that they didn't use dollars back then, back I can't think of there money system and what's it called right now.)

$#$#$#$#$#$ In the throne Room Place$#$#$#$#$#$

Matt walks up to the doors and knocks on them twice.

"Come in!" roared a loud manly voice. Matt walked in. "Oh, Matt there you are. Professor Smith was trying to find you earlier." The king said to Matt as if to say 'you're busted.'

"Oh, well...um you see," Matt started to answer.

"Save it. Come here sit now." The king said gentler than usual. Matt was scared, but he obeyed. "Matt, I have no time to discuss to you anymore about how wise and smart you must become. I have to tend to the kingdom. You know you really do scare people, because you run off to god knows where. You are seventeen now. You should act more mature. Think about the future now. You are going to be king. You need to learn. You know Matt, I'm not going to be around forever, and when I am not around anymore, you will be king. And as king you should be wise to the people and in order to be wise, you must be smart, and in order to be smart, you must not skip lessons anymore." (a/n: sound familiar?) Matt nodded in agreement as if to say 'yeah, yeah, I've heard this before' "So this time, I will not punish you, but you got to understand, when I need you, you need to be there. And I'm sure Lord Tachikawa's daughter doesn't like to be sent out looking for you all the time. Just don't you ever miss a lesson again or else you be punished big time. Understood?"

"Yes, sir" Matt said as he was about to get up and walk towards the French doors.

"Where are you going? I'm not done with you yet. We have still got to talk to you about your future. That's why I sent for you, you know." King Malcolm stated.

"Oh, yes sir." Matt said with an expression on his face that said 'and just when I thought it was over!'

"Well, I'm not getting any younger and you are getting older. You will be king someday," King Malcolm went on.

'Oh great, just when you think it's over, they just pull you right back in' Matt thought as he rolled his eyes.

"and as such, you will need three things," Matt nodded along with the three things Malcolm was about to state. "First, you need wisdom. That means, no more screwing around. You must pay more attention to your studies. I know you think I'm harsh now, but you'll thank me later. Trust me. Second, you need reliability. You haven't shown me much reliability Matt. Being gone always." King Malcolm said emphasizing always. Matt just nodded along. "and finally you need..." Matt just kept on nodding, because to tell you the truth, I don't think he was paying attention anymore. Probably jut zoning in and out here and there. "a queen."

Well that comment just lifted Matt's eyes. He became wide eyed and said, "What did you say?"

"You heard me, Matt. A queen. You need a wife." King Malcolm stated casually as he snapped his fingers and a servant brought him some tea.

"A wife? Like what?" Matt said confused.

"What do you mean 'like what'? I mean like you need to marry a princess." King Malcolm stated as he sipped his tea.

"I have to marry? Why? Can't I just be a bachelor king?" Matt suggested. King Malcolm glared at Matt. Matt gulped.

"No, you cannot just be a 'bachelor king.' You are going to marry a princess and that's final." King Malcolm stated in a fatherly tone.

"But who father?" Matt asked. "I mean I know it has to be a princess, but who's the princess?"

"You'll will meet her soon enough." King Malcolm stated in another fatherly tone.

"When?" Matt questioned, wide eyed.

"Tomorrow night. Her parents and herself have arranged to be here for the week. You can show her around, you know. Show her the kingdom. Introduce her to your friends. You know? Stuff like that."

"Oh all right" Matt said a little annoyed as he got up and walked toward the door.

"Prince Yamato!" The king said. He only calls matt Yamato when he's mad. Uh- oh! "Matt why do you keep on leaving when you haven't been dismissed yet? Haven't you learned better? Anyways. I want you to behave tomorrow night. Understood?"

"Behave?" Matt questioned.

"Yes, behave. You know what I mean, don't you? Don't act like...like...yourself. I want tomorrow night to be perfect. I better have, have an impression that says that the princess likes you! And you better like her! And if you don't, I'll betroth you to her. Understood?"

"Yeah, Father, I got it. Princess has to like me. Me have to like princess. I got it." Matt said annoyed.

"Watch that grammar of yours Matt, or I'll have your professors double the lesson plan." The King said. Matt gulped.

"Yes, sir!" Matt said. "Am I now dismissed?"

"You are now dismissed." The King said calmly. Matt smiled, then zoomed out the doors and almost tripped, on his way out. "Teenagers!" The King said shaking his head in dissapointment.
