Canto alla Vita: I sing to life

Author's note: just a heads up. The word Wicken is not based on the religion Wiccan. I did however use it as a guideline.

Chapter 5: Looky, looky it's a princess! Or is it a wicken?

Bulma gawked at her son and Ryanna. Bra who was sitting on her mother's bed looked amused. "Wait a minute! Freeze, rewind, what did you say? You want me to what?" Trunks grinned like an idiot. "I want you to make Ryanna look like a princess." Bulma scoffed slightly. "Why, may I ask?" Trunks grinned. "Please mom!" Ryanna look between Trunks and his mother. The silent conflict going between them was amusing but also very disturbing. "Tell me why, and then maybe I will consider doing it." Trunks rolled his eyes. Ryanna then decided to speak up. "Trunks aren't you doing this because you want to marry Princess Nathalie?" Trunks' eyes widened as his mother smirked. Bulma turned her gaze to Ryanna. "What would my son wanting to marry Princess Nathalie have anything to do with making you look like a princess?"

Ryanna played with her fingers. "Well, the king said if I were to go to the ball and pass off as a princess he would unite the Prince to Princess Nathalie." Bulma's smirk widened as Trunks looked at Ryanna in shock. "Ryanna! You weren't suppose to tell her that!" Ryanna looked to the floor. "I'm sorry." "Don't be Ryanna; my son has always been the shy type to admit he likes a girl." Bra giggled from her place on the bed. "Why didn't you just tell me Trunks, I would have agreed much quicker." Bulma took Ryanna's hand and motioned for Bra to follow her. "We'll see you in a couple hours." Trunks remained speechless and blushing like mad. Ryanna grinned cheekily and waved goodbye.

Two hours passed and Trunks just laid in his room, hands over his face. "I can't believe she said that! I don't want to marry that princess!" He shifted uncomfortably in his covers. A knock was rapped on the door. "Who is it?" "It's me, Goten!" "Come on in!" Trunks heard the squeak of the door and the sound of booted feet enter his room, but he still didn't remove his hands from their comfortable position on his face. "I heard what happened. Man dude I didn't know you like Princess Nathalie!" "I DON'T!" Goten jumped at his friends sudden out burst. Trunks sighed and sunk his head into his hands again. Goten coughed nervously and loosened his collar. "Well um Bulma told me to come and get you. Ryanna is done getting dressed." Trunks nodded and followed Goten out the door.

Ryanna squirmed and tried to escape the world of burning hair curlers, eye pokers and dress pins. "Oh would you hold still, they're only shoes." "I don't wear shoes." "So we all noticed but you have to at the ball or else everyone will know you're a wicken right off the bat." Ryanna sighed and blew some of her curly locks out of her face. She let Bulma slip one heeled shoe on and then the other. They were terribly uncomfortable. It had been a long time since she last wore shoes. She walked a couple of steps for a start but ended up falling. Bulma gave an agitated sigh. "I guess we'll have to go with the lower ones. Though I liked the high heels on you better. "I'm sorry your majesty." Bulma shook her head and slipped on some better shoes that suited Ryanna much better.

*Knock, Knock! * "Come on in Trunks!" Trunks stepped into the room with Goten. Both of them gapped at Ryanna. She was dressed in a pale blue gown. It had curved sleeves and a neck that cupper her nice size busts nicely. The bottom of the gown flowed nicely to her ankles in a beautiful flowing skirt. Her Chestnut brown hair hung nicely over her shoulders in beautiful curls and a small diamond tiara held her bangs together nicely. "Well Trunks is she Princess like enough for you?" Trunks smiled and nodded. Ryanna smiled back at the Prince. She was glad that he was happy. "I'm glad you're happy my Prince, for only this week will you ever see me like this." Trunks' grin turned into an amused smirk. "Too bad, I kinda like you this way."

Ryanna frowned. Trunks noticed his mistake. "I mean there was nothing wrong with the way you were before but this outfit brings out much more um, physical beauty." He said his gaze eyeing her breasts." Ryanna's frown deepened and she blushed. Trunks blushed a bit too. "Well um, let's do a test run." Ryanna sighed and lifted her dress so she could step down from her stool. Trunks offered his arm and she willingly took it. The shoes that she now wore were much more comfortable and easier to walk in, but she still missed the feel of the ground on her feet. Trunks held onto her arm as tight as he could. Seeing her like that was a shock that he wasn't expecting in a million years. She looked so much like a princess that at first even he was fooled.

"You're not saying much. Do you not like the way that I look?" Trunks snapped back into reality and turned his head to face her. "Oh yeah it's great. Just have some things on my mind right now." 'Like you.' Ryanna cocked an eyebrow. "You were thinking about me?" Trunks froze. "I didn't say that out loud." "I heard you though." Trunks furrowed his eyebrows together, then shook his head. "Um, let's just forget about it okay." Ryanna nodded, she was still confused on how she was able to hear his thoughts, but she left it alone since the prince didn't seem to want to talk about it. As the two walked down the hall, she received a lot of stares from guards and other slaves. Trunks led Ryanna down the hall to the throne room where he knew his father would be.

As they entered Vegeta was attending business to one of the warriors, which was named Kakarott {You know who! ^__^}. "I just though that maybe it would have been a smarter move on his part." "I don't give a damn Kakarott!" Trunks coughed getting Vegeta's and Kakarott's attention. Both of their mouths dropped in a similar fashion as Goten and Trunks' had. "Kakarott, father, allow me to introduce you to the more royal like Ryanna." She bowed, having a little trouble with her dress but hid it well. Vegeta lost the gap and smirked. "Well brat, looks like that test will take place. We'll just see if she can pull of being a princess." Trunks smirked and looked to Ryanna who smiled at him.
