"Princess Tenoko, the Emperor wishes to speak to you." The palace Gard said.

"Why isn't he here to greet me, is he too busy for me?" Tenoko asked the Gard sarcastically.

She had gotten here just about five minutes ago, and her mother already had left. Everyone had greeted her from Funaho to Achika.

"No, Princess, the Emperor just decided to speak to you in his Royal Throne Room."

"Well then, I guess you should escort me huh?" Tenoko asked not really caring.

She really didn't like it when her father would send for her, he only did that when she was in deep crap.

"Yes, follow me Princess." The Gard replied, in a monotone manner.

'Man! These guys need to loosen up some! Disrespect me once in a while or something. Hummmm…'

"Hey! You know what?" Tenoko Asked playfully.

"No, excuse me Princess for not knowing, for you have only arrived and everything has been taken care of." The Gard replied.

"Heheh… Your fly is open." Tenoko said in a matter-a-factly tone.

"Oh, Princess! Please forgive me, for my ignorance…if you'll excuse me." The Gard said, frightened of what the Emperor might think if he found out, as he turned around to inspect himself.

As he did Tenoko got a sneaky idea.

'With him turned over like that, if I were to push him he'd fall right on his head'. Tenoko walked over to the Gard and was just about to push him when the enormous doors of the throne room opened.

"TENOKO, WOW YOU'VE GROWN!" Her father boomed, making her jump and land on her behind from the surprise.

Tenoko got up quickly, as if nothing had happen, and ran into her father's arms.

"Hi dad, nice to see you too." She said hugging her father back, acting as nice as she could although she did not know him much.

"How's your mother?" The Emperor asked his, almost, full grown daughter.

"Well you know mom, always on a new adventure." She answered, really wanting to say something along the lines of, "well what do you care, you're the one who dumped her remember?" She put on a fake smile and acted as if everything were fine.



"Oh, yes we all know the way Ryoko is, always running from the Galaxy Police, and setting a bad example for you." The Queen, Aeka, said in a stuck up tone. (which was the way she always spoke)

'How dare she speak about my mother like that! Ooooooooohhh! I just want to blow her head off.' Tenoko thought, evilly playing out the seen in her head. She laughed sarcastically and then spoke,

"Oh, Aeka, you are a real piece of work aren't you? I mean, first you get a vacation, then Tenchi, and then you get rid of my mother. My, My, aren't you an expert on getting what you want...Well," She said putting her index finger on her chin thinking,

"Except that my mother got Tenchi first, right?"

She finished her statement in a question, on purpose, just to get Aeka going.

*snickering in background*

Aeka felt her skin boiling red.

"First of all, you insolent girl, you will address me as Queen Aeka.

Second of all, your punishment has already been planned," She turned her head over to look at her husband, "Haven't you told her yet beloved?"

She looked sweetly to her Tenchi.

'What? Who is that snickering…can't be one of the Gards, no they're too serious.' She thought, and listened to Aeka at the same time.

"Aeka, why don't you go and check up on Achika, while I talk to Tenoko?" Tenchi, the Emperor, said, looking at her in the eye.

"Ha! He told you!" Tenoko, couldn't help but say something at that!

"Humph. Fine. I'll go, but I expect for her, she pointed at Tenoko, to be gone by the time I come back." She walked away, exiting the throne room.

"Father?" (she had some respect for him only cause he was the Emperor.) She asked, "What was she talking about?"

*Sigh.* "Tenoko, Look at this," He handed her a paper, "Read it."

Tenoko took the paper and read it mentally,

It said:

'By order of the Sayijin King, Vegeta,

Every first born Princess that was born on the same year as his son, will come to the planet Vegeta, to prepare for his son's choosing, Which will occur in a year and a half'.

Tenoko could not believe it, although she masked her emotion, so that she had an unreadable face.

"So? Your not planning to send me are you? I mean, I am not as Royal as Achika, so she says."

"You are my first born, our planet is allied with the planet Vegeta, We owe him for the many Sayijins lost in the battle against the Matalinites." He paused, "And you are going." He commanded.

"LIKE HECK I'M GOING! I WILL NOT GO, NOT FOR YOU, NOT FOR NO ONE!" Tenoko shouted, no longer hiding how much she despised him.

"I thought you would feel that way, so I brought Washu here to talk to you." The Emperor said, confidently.

"Hi Tenoko, its been a while hasn't it?" Washu said calmly, in her child voice.

"Grandma, please tell me your on my side!" Tenoko pleaded. She could never go against her grandmother, no, she loved her too much to even think, that she would even consider taking her fathers' side.

"Come here, Tenoko." Washu commanded.

Tenoko walked over to her beloved grandmother, all the while thinking. 'She must have a plan for me, or something, she would never harm me, never- ever.' Tenoko kissed her grandma, on the cheek, and waited for her to do the same, when she did, the whispering started.

"Tenoko, no matter what I say I know the Sayijins will take you away, by force. I want you to have something before that happens though," She inserted something in to her hand, "It's name is Ten-o-oki, after you." (Tenoko absorbed the little capsule.) "It's a spaceship, but be very careful, I know there is someone here for you now." "Also I contacted Ryoko, I told her that you needed back up without her being their for you. She says that she'll come for you as soon as the year and a half is over, but until then, she wants you to have this." She pushed something into her left wrist and she felt it burn slightly. "Now I want you to train hard on that planet, understand?" Washu finished.

"I understand." Tenoko said, already knowing what she was going to do.

"TENCHI!" Washu shouted. "Aren't you going to give your daughter something before she leaves?" "Like Ryokos' gem, that rightfully belongs to Tenoko."

"Alright, Washu, I will." Tenchi said. "Come here Tenoko," She walked towards the throne. Tenchi whipped out his sword and placed it in front of him, then it began to glow.

Tenoko felt a burning sensation on her right wrist and looked at it, admiring her new gem. She also took a peek at her other wrist to find an identical gem also on it.

:::::::::::'Well, well, I bet they'll be here any minute for me…and when they do…they'll get the beating of their little pathetic lives.'

-Don't get too cocky, Tenoko, dear. I don't want you getting on their bad side. Washu thought to her.:::::::::::::



"I suppose I can take her now, right?" Goten asked, coming out of the shadows of the throne room. "We do have a three day trip, you know." He added, speaking to no one in particular.

"Who the heck are you?" Tenoko asked, taking one step away from Washu.

"My name is Goten, and the Emperor, (pointing to Tenchi,) requested the strongest Royal Gard to take you to his Highness."

"YOU HAD A HAND IN THIS!?" She shouted to her father.

"Oh, well no matter…I'll just get away, you should know that by now… father." She said in a sarcastic tone, emphasizing the last word.

Goten walked up to Tenoko and took her wrist, and made her look at him, by jerking her to him with little force.

"We need to get going now, if we're to make it on time." He stated, not looking directly to her.

Tenoko was surprised at this act, but masked it very well. She yanked her wrist out of his grip, a bit forcefully, and brought it to her side. "No, I will not go." "I am not moving from this spot." When she finished saying that she put on her evil glare… "And if you try to move me, you'll get the beating of your life, so there." She plopped herself on the ground sitting Indian-style, and crossed her arms, and to add to the effect, she looked away from Goten.

"Come on Tenchi, this could get ugly." Washu said, at the same time escorting the Emperor out of the throne room.

"Ummmm…well, excuse me miss…" Goten said, at the same time putting his hand behind his head, and warring a goofy smile (like Goku…oh wait…Kakkarot). He got ever-so-close to her…and then… He grabbed her by the waist and lifted her up, and over his shoulder in one swift movement.

Tenoko gave a little noise in surprise, at the action.

'Who in the world dose this guy think he is?'

She quickly turned and kicked her offender in the abdomen, when she hit the ground she did a ground sweep and knocked him off his feet.

Goten, hit the floor on his hands, and did a back flip, so that she could also see that he had skill.

'Man she's good, I wasn't even expecting that! I better get this over quick.'

"Your pretty good, but we really don't have time for this, after all the ceremony is in three days, and that's how long it takes to get there." Goten said in a matter-a-factly tone.

"Look at me, look at me real good… does it look like I care?" She said in defiance.

"No. I guess not." Goten said after looking at her.

'This guy is an idiot, he actually looked to see if I cared…doesn't he know that's a figure of speech…guess not.' Tenoko thought, slightly amused by this character.

"I'm sorry that I have to so this, but you leave me no choice." Goten said, looking sincere. He disappeared, and reappeared behind her, whipped out a needle and injected her with the substance that was supposed to knock her out for a while.

"You jerk! How dare you!" She said loudly, stepping away from Goten, pulling out the needle at the same time. She got into a fighting stance and glared at him in hatred. Then she felt a sudden rush of dizziness mixed with sleepiness.

'RESIST IT! YOU ARE STRONGER! FIGHT! FIGHT!FIGHT!' Her mind was screaming at her.

Goten saw her determination to stay awake and fight him, and he regretted what he had done. He was gentle, and although he loved a good fight, he was… a gentle man.

He saw her knees give out under her, and she fell to the ground on them.

He walked quickly to her side and caught her before she was totally on the marble floor.

"Just wait till I wake up." She whispered at him, finally falling into unconsciousness.

Goten carried her to his spaceship, and laid her on the guest bed. He waked back out, getting her luggage, and brought it in.

'Finally, Planet Vegeta, here we come.' He thought.
