Hikaru: haha! I get to be the prince!
Everyone else (except Akira since he's asleep): =.=;;....um....right....
Hikaru: [looks around triumphantly] Where's my manga? And my Playstation 2?
Tsutsui: Here you go, [sarcastically] "your highness"
Hikaru: Bow to me!!
Rest of the cast, except Akira who is snoring peacefully: NO WE WON'T!! [all leave]
Hikaru: [bewildered] hey! Where'd everybody go??
Minty: I present you: Chapter 3 of that [points at Akira]

Scene 3: In Hikaru's castle
After the "death" of Prince Touya, the people of the kingdom of Go were all grieve stricken. After all, where do you get a prince who is so perfect in everyway? Slowly, people moved out of the kingdom to find a new place to live. The King and Queen were offered a brand new castle in China, and they decided to move there, because the shield around their current castle won't allow anyone to get in.
As time passed, the shield disappeared, but trees, shrubs and other plants grew so dense that no one dared to step into its territories.
Meanwhile, in the kingdom of Arcade, lived the King, his Queen, and their son, Shindou Hikaru. Hikaru was the perfect heir to the kingdom, because his arcade playing skills are beyond imagination: finishing the whole Final Fantasy X in just 1 day and 4 hours.
It was a fine day when a sudden yell rang across the castle.
"I DID IT!!" cried the prince. "I FINALLY UNLOCKED JIN DEVIL!!"
"What's wrong with that kid? He finishes every new game he gets in less than 2 days." whispered one guard to the other.
The other guard raised his eyebrow and shrugged, giving a look that plainly said "don't ask me."
The prince looked for a game he hasn't defeated, but there was none, and Tekken5 wasn't coming out until next month.
"Hikaru! I know you're out of games, there's a quest I want to send you on." the king said as he stood in the doorway of Hikaru's room.
(We cannot see the king's face. According to me, I bet he has some problems with his face, probably cross-eyed, could be freaky haircut, or he likes to use cosmetics...nah... most probably the artist ran out of ideas.)
"What quest?" Hikaru asked, bewildered, then, it hit him. "No...you don't mean...that?"
"Yep! Rescue the Go prince (spot the pun) from his deep beauty sleep." (HEY! That rhymes. I didn't do that on purpose!)
"No way! He's a boy!" said a blushing Hikaru 'and he's Akira!'
"who cares?"
'I CARE!'
"As long as you rescue him, a part of the Go kingdom will belong to us. You will have another challenging game to play, wouldn't that be good?"
'And face Touya all day? I don't think so.' Despite the mental argument in his head, what came out of Hikaru's mouth was...... "Yes, dad..."
And so, the adventure of our prince begins......not really.
"Okay...what do I have to bring?" the prince muttered to himself as the packed his things in a suitcase twice his size.
"Manga, Instant Ramen, Manga, GBA, Manga..." He threw random stuff into the suitcase and tried to move it......which resulted in a very loud crash and a very flat prince.
10 guards moved in and helped Hikaru move the giant suitcase onto a big handsome white horse.
(Ignore this if you want the story, but I was wondering, people say "handsome horses", but if you're horse-faced, then you must be pretty ugly, right? So how can a horse be handsome? Is it the more handsome it is, the more ugly?)
The horse was flattened under the weight, so some of the stuff had to go.
"manga #1, manga #5, the playstation 2, Xbox, my laptop...man, now it's hard to survive."
So the prince ended up with a small back-pack. Which was good...right?
So, he successfully got the back-pack on his own back, successfully got on the horse, and failed to give the horse the directions.
So, the horse went charging around madly around the back-yard, which was like, HUGE! (you know? I actually stopped and thought about how big the yard would be for ... 5 minutes, and ended up with the word huge......)
"and what's with all the "So"s?"
(Shut up, you...get on with your riding!)
So, (damn, I have to stop typing so) after 5 failed attempts to get the horse on track, Hikaru decided to settle on a small family van instead.
"I didn't know they had vans in those days."
(Because I decided it to be there, so shut up and continue.)
Hikaru is silent, not moving, and staring blankly at the steering wheel.
(what now?)
"how exactly do you drive a van?"
(this is a fic! Just tell it where to go, and it'll get there!)
"oh."
With that (I was so tempted in typing "so"), the prince "drove" out to the castle gates, where Waya, the one guarding the gate, was sulking...
"hey, Waya! What's up?" asked the prince in his overly-cheerful voice.
"Don't see why you can be so happy all the time..." Waya glared, and continued sulking.
"Where's Isumi?" asked the innocent prince, Waya glared again, only this time more fierce. 'Must you be this dense?'
"oh...I get it...." Hikaru nodded as though the reason Waya was so grumpy just dawned on him, which was true, it did just dawn on him.
"He's off to China on business." Waya sulked some more.
"Did I just hear my name?" asked another voice.
"ISUMI!!" Waya immediately jumped and attached himself to Isumi like a leech.
Hikaru winced at the loud-ear-splitting scream, but smiled nonetheless.
"Shindou, I see you just stole the van from Fujisaki." said the smiling Waya.
"What?! The authoress (sorry, decided to be specific suddenly) gave it to me!"
"well SHE stole that from Fujisaki then."
"Did you?!"
(Er...accident?)
"I can't believe you can be so pathetic."
(HEY! I'm an author, not god!)
"HEY YOU!!" cried a high-pitched girl scream.
"Oh no...it's Akari..." Hikaru tried to hide himself under the seats, but it seemed he got stuck instead. Akari, also from the royal family, ran over and started yelling.
"WHO gave you permission to steal my car?" she asked.
"it wasn't us!" protested both of the guards.
"Er...guys? Little help here?" a small voice squeaked, reminding them Hikaru was still there.
After some pulling, Hikaru finally got out of the van. He was immediately greeted by a punch from Akari.
"what were you doing taking my van, anyway?" asked a frustrated Akari.
"Well, I was given the job to go rescue Akira..."
"Going to rescue your "princess", Shindou?" Waya started teasing.
"He's a BOY!" cried Shindou.
"oohh....defending him now, are we?"
"Shut up Waya..." the flushed Hikaru looked away and climbed back into the van.
"You know, it sounds like fun...think we can come along?" asked Isumi, who startled everyone. Since he was too quiet, everyone forgot he was there.
"Yeah, sure, hop on in." Hikaru waved towards the back seat and started the engine.
"It's my van, so I'd better go and see if anything happens to it." Akari stated and climbed in to sit next to Isumi in the back seat. Waya kinda freaked her out sometimes.
So AT LAST, our hero started his adventure with the rest of the gang.
--Behind the Scenes--
Minty: I decided to throw in some parts of other fairytales to make it more...um... interesting.
Hikaru: She's lying! Back me up Waya!
Waya: ... [sits and watch sunset with Isumi] (okay...that was a bit over exaggerated)
Minty: Okay, FINE...I wanted to screw up the other fairytales, HAPPY??
Hikaru: yep! Hey, 'Kira, heard that? She's going to screw up the fairytales.
Akira: [snores]
Hikaru: [sulks] Oh yeah, he's asleep... It sucks without a rival...
Everyone: [looks at Hikaru, smiling evilly]
Hikaru: what?! He's just my rival!!
Minty: oh yeah, right....like we believe that....anyway....hope you like this chap...I'll be away on vacation next week...in between I'll try to squeeze in as many chapters as I can, probably will finish the whole story.
