***PRINCE TO PAUPER AND BACK AGAIN***

I own nothing of He-man or the MOTU aside from some toys

AT THE ROYAL PALACE

Prince Adam rushed to see his father King Randor, he was excited his father so rarely somond him. Once he entered the throne room that changed, as he saw Teela talking to the king. Randor had an angry look as did Teela, Adam thought she must be mad he ducked out of combat training again but He-man was needed at Grayskull. The prince figured he was going to get scolded again and schooled his face preparing for another lecture, however that is not what happen. Turns out Adam had forgot about the attack on the palace that morning. Randor said "Adam once again you ran from battle, if it hadn't been for He-man Teela and the guards would have been overwhelmed. There for I am calling Adora back and naming her the heir to the throne, you I am disowning. Guards!"

The guards came and took Adam away, relieving him of everything but the clothes on his back. His bracers, jewelry, and even his Power sword all gone and with no money he couldn't even get a place to stay, so he ended up sleeping under a bridge. That night Queen Marlena gave Randor hell, her irish temper was in full force. Randor spent most of the night dodging anything his wife could throw at him while she used words he never heard before even in bed.

Morning

Adam awoke and washed off in the stream thankful it had not rained, he then crawled out and began looking for a job. That didn't workout so well as Teela and the guards had talked about how lazy and cowardly they thought he was all over town. Adam went to see his friends to see if they had anything he could do, but now that he was no longer prince they refused to even see him. Adam was starving when he ran into Lady Damani, she was a beautiful blond with teal eyes a bubble butt and perky large 38C-cup breasts who always wore a corset. The two used to be close but they had a falling out when she started being mean to Teela. Damani heard Adam's stomach grumble and asked him to join her for an early supper, Adam explained as much as he would like that after what happen to him he had no money to take her to dinner. Damani laughed and said it would be her treat, so he offered his arm and the two went to eat.

In the meantime back at the Palace

Marlena was on the hunt Both Randor and Teela were hiding from her, Man at Arms wasn't too happy with his friend or daughter either. Around noon Marlena found Teela and told her to get her fat ass in the practise arena in half an hour. Teela did as told only to find an opponent in green tights and a mask waiting on her, Randor and Duncan were there to witness the match. Once it started the masked woman charged in, dropping low she hit Teela in the ribs grabbed her wrist, then planted her foot in Teela's armpit. She then pulled as she kicked Teela's legs out from under her and rolled. Teela hit the ground hard , the masked woman then twisted as she got up. This put Teela's hand between her shoulder blades. The masked woman sat on Teela and used leverage to apply force to her elbow while keeping her hand in place. Teela screamed and tapped out but the woman didn't let up. After a minute she took her mask off revealing it was Queen marlena and she said "How pathetic I guess I'll have to keep kicking your ass until you can at least give me a workout." Then she stood and walked off.

Back with Adam

As Adam and Damani walked to her favorite restaurant Adam said "Thank you Lady Damani, you are to kind."

Damani smirks and says with a pout "You forgot cute."

Adam laughs and says "Not cute , more like stunningly beautiful."

Damani blushes beet red and says "Sweet talker."

Once in the restaurant they were seated Adam helped her with her chair then sat himself, she ordered for them both and once the waiter was gone they began to talk again. Damani had a question that had been on her mind for years and she just had to ask. Taking a deep breath Damani asked "Adam what happen that came between us? We were close when we were little, what happen? Did I do something wrong?"

Adam sighed as he thought back then said "Yeah about that, I think I overreacted. You belittled Teela and she was like a sister to me back then, I'm sorry."

Damani's eyes widen and she says"Oh, she just made me so mad. The way she teased you for watching Cringer instead of playing soldier with her and the boys. She pretended to be responsible, while you actually were and she dared tease you for it."

Adam saw a fire in Damani's eyes he said "I'm sorry I didn't know that was why."

The sad look Adam had nearly broke her heart, Damani smiled waving it off and said "It doesn't matter, we are friends again now aren't we."

Adfam smiled and said "If you take me back, nothing could make me happier."

Damani got an evil grin and said "Oh I bet I can come up with a few things that could."

The two laugh and enjoy there meal flirting as they chatted. when they finished Adam escorted her home, as it was getting late and it wouldn't be safe for her to go alone. Once there Damani invites him to stay saying she will give him a place to stay and a job if he wants it . Adam agrees and sleeps in a guest room despite Damani offering to share her bed with him. After his cold shower he got a good night's sleep. When he awoke he found Damani laying half on him in just a see through nightie and white lace panties, Adam looked down as she looked up and smiled then she said "After that cold shower I figured you needed warmed up."

She had to laugh at his expression as she put her robe on. Then she said "You are so easy to fluster Adam, I'm only teasing .I just came to check on you a couple minutes ago and thought this would be funny. You know what it is, you should see your face fire engine red."

Adam grinned and tossed the covers off as he got up, now it was Damani who was red and gawking as he was in just his boxers. Damani was stunned seeing all his muscles and she gulped saying the one thing he never expected she said "You're He-man."

After a long talk with the Sorceress of Grayskull it was decided that she was trustworthy, and besides Adam couldn't be He-man without the sword anyway. Adam told Damani the whole story of how he became He-man, she listened then promised not to tell anyone. Once that was taken care of they ate and she took him to her winter home stopping on the way to buy him a large double bit ax. She hired him to cut,split and stack wood in the large wood shed for winter. She planned on hiring a team to do it in six months but figured this way she could help Adam without it being charity and hurting his pride. Adam was grateful and went to work, Damani watched for a while but once he took his shirt off she had to go run some errands.

Damani came daily to watch Adam and visit. One day she came Teela was there and she and Adam were arguing. Adam yelled "Leave me alone you did enough damage, just go away."

When Teela kept on Damani snatched her up by the hair on her head and threw her to the ground, the cat fight was on as hair was pulled, clothes ripped off and a fair amount of name calling took place. Adam finally broke it up spaying them down with the water hose, both women were soaked . Damani had a busted lip and bloody nose as well as an exposed breast, while Teela had a broke nose and both eyes blacked her uniform was ripped off her but her chest guard was still in place. Adam looked at Teela and said "I guess the carpet does match the drapes."

Teela sees her bottom half exposed and shreaks as she runs off. Adam laughs as he slips his vest on Damani, it's here she notices her left breast is exposed. Damani blushes and stands on her toes to kiss Adam on his cheek and says "Thanks."

Adam smiles and says "No, thank you. I love you just kicked her ass."

A few days Later the queen shows up only to find Adam packing a six hundred pound log on his shoulder and loading a wagon he then pull to the shed with eight logs on it of the same size. She noticed his tan and said "Well He-man I didn't know this is what you did to get in such great shape."

Adam spun around and bowed saying "How may I help you Queen Marlena?"

Marlena said "Quit joking Adam, I told you a mother always knows her son and what he can do."

Adam sighs and says "Yes my queen but I have no family."

Note sorry if this is a bit dull but I needed to get the set up. This was something I thought of when I was in school and learned that some kings disowned their own children for younger ones to succeed the throne. I thought the way Teela always complained about Adam and Randor always agreeing with her this could have happen. I would also like to thank TheSorceressQueen for the free use of her character Damani from her story Hellcat. Please leave a comment/review and Until next time HAVE A NICE DAY.
