know what the couples should be... but I'm gonna make some twisted thing,
I'm sure. By the way... some of these places have weird names. Just ignore

*His Destiny*
Part 1 of... I dunno yet Depends on my responses so R/R!

Once upon a time, King Lou of the Timberlakes had a son named Justin. He
grew up to be the most handsome man in the country and everybody through
out the lands would wait at the castle gates just to get a glimpse of
him. All the ladies would swoon over him, especially one annoying one named
Lady Britney of LuckyLand.

Today was not a good day for Prince Justin.

"I don't see why I have to get married! Can't I just be left alone? These
woman are shallow and dumb! I don't wish to marry any of them!" exclaimed
the young Prince.

"I don't mean for you to marry just any commoner! I want you to marry Lady
Britney of LuckyLand. Do you realize how much power I will have once Lord
Wright and I join forces? Besides, you're 19! You NEED to get married."
said King Lou who was sitting at his throne.

"YOU WANT ME TO MARRY HER? I don't want to marry her! She's annoying and
she's always following around like some puppy dog! I would rather live in
the woods with the animals then ever be with her! I don't care about how
much power you have! I just want a normal life!"

"Don't you dare talk to me like that! You are getting married to her no
matter what you say. After Lord Wright and I join forces, you can die for
all I care!" King Lou exclaimed, red in the face.

"Fine! You can hold the wedding, but I won't be here!" With that, Prince
Justin ran to his room with tears clouding his vision and packed some
things. With those things, he was going to run away and live in the woods
like he said. He didn't want to live under the same tower as his father
anymore.

Prince Justin gasped as he saw the beauty of his surrondings. The forest he
was in was gorgeous. He had almost never in his life stepped out of the
castle grounds before so he never knew of forests, mountains and rivers. He
spread his arms out in wonder and spinned around in a circle.

"Never have I seen such a beautiful sight! This place is much better than
the castle! I'd rather sleep on the dirt floor than the marble ones!"
Justin exclaimed to himself. He jogged along the sparkling river in delight
and smiled up at the skies above. The sun welcomed him gently.

"Now. Where shall I sleep? Maybe I can make a little shack or cabin right
here. And here, will be the door! And over here would be the window!"
Justin put down his sack and looked around to find some wood to build
with. Little did he know a pair of green eyes were watching him from deep
inside the thicket of the forest.

"OW! Shit. That hurt." Prince Justin sweared as he tried to get the
splinter out of his thumb. He was sitting in the middle of the clearing he
had made and was trying to make a little cabin. The only thing he succeeded
in was getting himself hurt and that was a thing he was not used to.

"If only my servants were here.... they could build me a fine house." he
mumbled. "No! No! That's the reason I left. I hate the castle. I don't need
servants. I can get along fine by myself."

"I can help you." A deep, but soft voice said from the woods.

"Who's there? Come out!" The prince said. He raised a block of wood. Some
rustling noises were made and out emerged a young man about 20 or 21 years
old. He had eyes as green as the color of the leaves around them and had
blond hair. Wearing clothes that seemed to be made from some far off place,
but a little dirty. All in all, he was breath takingly beautiful. Justin
stood there, mouth open, shocked by the appearance of this creature that
could not possibly be human. Too beautiful. Realizing that he was staring,
he took a step back and dropped his weapon.

"Please don't leave me!" The young, green-eyed boy cried. "Please don't
leave me like the rest!" A sad look was on his face. Eyes brimming with
tears of sadness.

"I won't leave you." The other youth said, showing a little sympathy. "But,
please, tell me your name."

"You can call me whatever you want. I never had a name. All the others
called me what they wanted." he said.

"Well, um, why don't we both get a name for you. Then you can tell me who
these other people are. Yes?"

"Do you really mean it? You don't want me to go away? Thank you!" The
nameless boy jumped on Prince Justin and kissed him on the cheek. He
blushed.

"Um. You can get off me now." Justin said. He saw the green eyes watering
again. "Please? Let's just sit in the grass." He was relieved when he saw
the beautiful boy from the woods smile and get off him. They took a seat by
each other in the soft grass.

"How about the name.... John? David? Joseph?"

"Do you like those names?" The blond asked.

"No.. not really." he replied.

"Then, no I don't want any of those names."

"Okay... how about the name James? That's a good name. I met a boy named
James once, very much like you, and he was nice."

"Do you like that name?" The boy asked again.

"Yeah, I do."

"Okay! I'll be James. That is, of course, you like another name..." He
moved a little closer to the prince.

"Well, I also like the name Lance. My Great Uncle's name was Lance."

"How about I be James Lance? Then you could be happy with both!" He giggled
and moved a little closer. The prince laughed at the innocence of the young
man. It was hard to believe a man of that age acting like a little 8 year
old boy.

"Alright then. From now on, you are James Lance! I don't like any other
names either, so don't ask." The young prince laughed. He hasn't laughed
this much ever in his life. He was going to be much happier here than in
the castle.

"Um...Do you think I could know your name? You don't have to tell me if you
don't want to. All the others never told me their name."

"My name is Justin. And what do you mean by the others? Who are they?" he
asked

"They were the ones who always found me. They said they would take care of
me, but all they wanted was pleasure. But after they took themselves upon
me, they left. I guess I am too ugly to be loved by anyone." James
said. There was such a sad look on his face that Justin couldn't help but
to give him a hug. He pulled back and said:

"I don't think you are ugly. I think you're very beautiful. You deserve
more than that." He couldn't believe he said that out loud. He blushed.

"Really? You're not just saying that, are you?"

"Yes, I really think you do deserve more than that."

"No.. I mean do you think I'm beautiful?"

"Yes..." The prince blushed again and looked down. He felt soft fingers
lift his head up.

"I think you're beautiful, too." James whispered. He leaned in and kissed
Justin on the lips. Justin pulled back abruptly. A look of shock on his
face. The green eyes watered again, this time, spilling over with tears.
