And I

Palace

Chi-Chi awoke with the sun shining on her face. She sat up and stretched her arms out. She sat up and walked up to her closet and yawned. She saw a robe and tied it around her and walked to her bathroom.

45 minutes later she walked out nicely dressed in something simple. It was a blue dress that was really cute it was something she would wear to church and it wasn't fancy, but it was lady like. She smiled and walked up to her mirror. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail and placed her sliver crown on her head. She looked around jewelry and found a sliver necklace with a red ruby shaped like a heart that hung; it was her mother's.

She walked to her doors and grabbed the doorknobs and turned them and walked out. She saw one of her maids bow and went into her room which she really didn't have to because Chi-Chi already had made her bed and picked up her clothes; she didn't like having people clean up after her.

She walked into the breakfast room and saw her father talking to Bulma's. Chi-Chi looked around the room; her friend was no where in sight and that was odd. Chi-Chi kissed her father's cheek and shook Bulma's father's hand. She sat down by her father and dug into the food that was already waiting for.

"It is an honor and I really don't want to mess up this treaty so there are a few things I would like done and I would like to have you arrange it," she listened to her father say to Bulma's.

Chi-Chi placed her fork beside her plate and looked at the two men. She waited for them to be silent. "Excuse me, but where is Bulma, sir?" she asked.

Bulma's father looked at Chi-Chi. "I'm not quite sure princess…I haven't seen her since last night," he explained.

Chi-Chi's father looked at her. "Is something wrong sweetie?" he asked.

Chi-Chi looked at him. "When are you going to tell me Father? I would like to know who the guest are…I can tell that this is important and you want it on the down low for awhile, but I am your daughter," Chi-Chi remarked.

Her father smiled. "You sound just like your mother did…you're more like her everyday. Would it be okay if we talked about this later, dear?" he asked.

Chi-Chi nodded. "Yes Father it would be fine if we talked about it later. May I be excused?"

Her father nodded.

She stood up and bowed her head and walked out of the room. She leaned against the door. 'Damn it. Do I have to get a spy? Why aren't you telling me Father? I would like to know what we're dealing with. Are they dangerous?' She thought.

"Good Morning,"

Chi-Chi looked up at ladder that was right beside her. There stood Eighteen hanging up a banner. "Do you know what is going on?" Chi-Chi asked.

Eighteen shook her head. "How the hell am I suppose to know? They don't tell us anything around here. We just work and get paid," she hissed.

Chi-Chi smiled. Eighteen always was like this. "So…you haven't heard anything either?"

Eighteen looked down at her. "You don't even know what is going?" she questioned. Chi-Chi shook her head. "They didn't even tell you and you're the princess…what's up with that? Stupid pricks," Eighteen mumbled.

"One of them is my father Eighteen. Have you seen Bulma?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Stupid people. Have I seen her? Uh…no I haven't, you might want to ask someone else I don't really remember who I've seen unless I want to and I would remember because she would have babbled about her trip," Eighteen stated.

"Thanks….see you around," Chi-Chi said waving good-bye.

"Cute dress!" Eighteen shouted after her.

Chi-Chi turned into the hall and saw more maids and workers maybe she would be lucky and see Goku today. She smiled. He was one of the nicest men she knew. She was about to walk outside.

"Princess Chi-Chi what are you doing?"

Chi-Chi turned around. There stood Greg her bodyguard. He used to be a worker around here and she used to have a crush on him; he was only five years older than she was, but that was all history she thought he was okay. He had sandy blonde hair and piercing green eyes and a nicely built body, but he really wasn't all too nice to other women.

"I'm going outside," she stated.

Greg shook his head. "I don't think so…I got my orders and there is too much work going on out there that something could fall and hurt you and we don't want that," Greg stated.

"Who gave you those orders?" she asked crossing her arms over her chest.

"Your father and…" Chi-Chi cut him off.

"Travis?" Chi-Chi questioned.

"Mr. Snake doesn't want you hurt this is for your own good princess," he stated.

"Then you come with me then nothing will happen," she snapped.

"I'm not allowed to do that either…I'm sorry you are to stay in doors," Greg stated.

"This is so unfair," she hissed then ran down the hall. Keeping her in the palace what were they doing out there anyway that she could possible get hurt. She stopped her running and turned to face a door. She smirked. She could always do a little kick-boxing to cool her off.

Bulma's P.O.V

"What do you mean I can't go in there?" Bulma screeched.

She was standing in front of the palace gates and two guards were blocking her way. "We're sorry miss you aren't allowed in there," guard one stated.

"Why the hell not? Do you know I am? Hello I'm friends with the princess and I'm sure she is wandering where I am," she stated. She balled her fists. If they said no again she was going to hurt someone.

"What's going on here?"

Bulma turned around. Goku walked up carrying a shovel his shoulders he stood by her.

"Their not letting me in," Bulma stated.

"You working?" guard two asked.

Goku nodded. "Yeah I was sent here…so are you going to let me in?" he questioned.

"I'm working here too," Bulma lied.

"Where's your supplies?" guard one asked.

Goku looked at Bulma. "She was waiting for me…she has to set up…flowers…in the uh…"

"Princess' room," Bulma finished for him.

The guards mumbled and opened the doors. The two of them walked through. "What was all of the about?" Bulma asked.

Goku shrugged. "Don't have a clue," he stated.

"Thanks…for getting me through," Bulma said smiling.

"You're welcome," he said looking at her. "So why do you want to be here so bad anyway?"

"I want to see Chi-Chi, I'm dying here." She stated.

Goku raised an eyebrow. "Can't even live a day without her?"

Bulma looked at him smiling. "You can't either without seeing her," she stated.

Goku looked away. "That's not true…the princess is very pretty, but…"

"But you're a commoner and falling for the princess isn't welcomed? You and I both know that's stupid. Anyone can love anybody they want," Bulma stated crossing her arms over her chest.

"But you don't have that problem," Goku said looking at her.

"The hell I don't! My father has to like him and he has to come from a family that runs a line of riches and wealth. My father basically chooses for me and once we're married he can cheat on me all he wants, but I can't and I have to bare his children and stay at home and just come to his dinner parties. I don't even get to watch my own kids…and if he wants to leave he gets them and the money and I'm left with nothing, but my first name because my last will be taken," she hissed.

Goku backed away. "Well I'd like to know how you're going to get in the place is guarded," he stated.

Bulma looked at the front doors. Three guards were guarding them with weapons. "What is going on around here?" she asked.

"People are having fits about the guests arriving…for some reason. That's all I know," Goku stated.

"Guests? The palace will have guests?" she questioned.

"Yeah and they're afraid some villagers will sneak in and kill the king or princess," he stated.

"Well I know a way I am going in," she stated.

"Really how?" Goku asked.

"A bottom window of course," Bulma said smiling.

"Okay whatever you say…I have shit to do," Goku stated walking away from the area and to where he had to be.

Chi-Chi's P.O.V

Chi-Chi had changed into her sweatpants and a tank top. She was kicking her punching bag around like crazy. She had her hair tied in a braid and it bounced on her back. She turned in a full circle and kicked the bag as hard as she could, screaming.

She wiped the sweat off her forehead and grabbed a bottle of water and swallowed some of it and placed it back down. She looked back at the bag and got into a position and punched it.

Tap! Tap!

Chi-Chi stopped and looked at a window.

Tap!…Tap!

She saw pebbles hitting it she walked over and opened it and looked down. "Bulma what are you doing?" she asked.

"You have no bottom windows how do you except me to get…I can't climb up," Bulma stated putting her hand on her hips.

Chi-Chi smiled. "Up course you can there's a ladder right next to you…climb on up," she stated.

Bulma rolled her eyes and stepped onto the ladder and slowly climbed up. "If I fall I'm going to kick your royal ass," she promised.

Bulma reached the top and pulled herself in.

Chi-Chi rolled her eyes. "Was that hard?" she asked.

"Would you have done it?" Bulma questioned.

"No cause I would never be kicked out of my palace," she stated. She walked up to the bag and punched it. "Okay…I'm cool now let's go."

They walked out of the room and headed to Chi-Chi's room.

"Bulma what are you doing here?" Bulma's father asked walking up to her grabbing her hand. "You young lady need to go home."

Bulma grabbed her hand. "I'm not five years old Dad, why can't I be here. This is fucking stupid," she hissed.

"Bulma don't use that tone with me…get home now," he ordered.

Chi-Chi watched them.

Bulma father's grabbed Bulma's arm and dragged her down the hall. "Bye Chi-Chi see you later," Bulma said.

"See ya," said Chi-Chi.

"Chi-Chi your father would like to see you," Greg stated.

Chi-Chi nodded. "Let me get changed," she stated walking into her room and changing into a tan dressed that went to her knees. She stepped out of her room and followed Greg.

Else where in the palace

Goku and Krillin were painting a room south of Chi-Chi's and the king's.

"So want to know what I do?" Krillin asked holding his broken arm..

"No," Goku answered flatly. "I said I don't want to know and I'm not changing my mind."

"Okay…well have you seen Chi-Chi lately?" Krillin asked.

"Not today," Goku stated dipping his brush in paint.

"Well I'm telling you anyway…I heard another prince was on his way…but he's coming today to ask Chi-Chi's hand…but I don't think that's why were working," Krillin stated.

Goku looked at Krillin. "Another prince…do you…think she'll choose him?"

Krillin shook his head. "The Prince of Vorter? Nuh she won't," (Towns in this city will usually be made up.)

"Vorter, huh? I heard he's spoiled, right?" Goku questioned.

Krillin nodded and said "Yep and get this…"

Throne room

Chi-Chi un-balled her fists. Another prince. She looked at her father. "I'll see, but I doubt I'll approve," she stated. "I'll be on my way Father call me for dinner." She curtsied and turned around and left.

Dinner

Chi-Chi sat down in her chair wearing a white dress. Her father walked in. "Honey I'd like you to meet Prince Edward the fifth," he stated.

Chi-Chi stood up. 'Here we go,' she thought. A man walked out behind her father. Her eyes widened he had to be older by more than six years.

The prince walked up and kissed her hand. He wasn't cute at all. "Princess," he said before sitting on the other side of the table.

Chi-Chi looked over at her father. 'This guy has to be at least twenty-eight. What is my father thinking that's ten years difference, but then again he cares if the guys nice not his age.' She smiled. "Thank you for joining us."

The prince looked at his food. "Uk…there is too many tomatoes in this…where is your cook…you must tell him at once," he snapped.

"He's a she," Chi-Chi stated. 'Spoiled brat…I'm younger than him and he's kiddish.'

"Figures…my father says woman aren't good for nothing…but I think they're good at some things," he stated winking at Chi-Chi.

That made her sick that she was about to vomit. Her face turned pale. 'All right this is a no no…hell no would I even think about marrying him.' She smiled softly and looked at her father.

Her father wasn't really paying attention. "I'm sorry Prince Edward I don't think she meant to…" he was cut off.

"Woman don't mean to do anything…they're just helpless," the prince stated. "You should chop of her head for insulting you with this meal."

"Hold up there is nothing wrong with the meal, but there sure is something wrong with you boy," Chi-Chi snapped.

The prince and her father were shocked.

"Chi-Chi," said her father. He was speechless.

"Well I never…see what I mean…women are…" Edward was cut off.

Chi-Chi threw her bowl at him. "I wish you're mother heard you talking…I bet she wouldn't be pleased with your father either," she hissed.

"There will be no wedding," Edward stated.

"You read my mind baka!" she snapped.

Edward stood up and stormed out of the room. "You better not come back you little spoiled brat," she shouted. "How old was he anyway Father?"

"Thirty I think…not really a good choice huh? I'm sorry dear," her father said looking at his food.

"It's ok Dad…I will find a husband one day," she stated. 'Hopefully.'

That's it for chapter three. Review if you wish and I hope you do.
