Blaze stared out at the water in front of her. There was a medium sized stone mansion in front of her as well, behind the lake. She sighed and let another small flame appear in her palm. She twisted her arm and chucked it toward the lake. Of course, it didn't make it. The wind extinguished it, and wisps of white smoke floated into the air. She let out another sigh. This was just like her life. Just when it looked like it was going somewhere, the wind put it out. Se knew who lived in that mansion. A hedgehog. A soft wind blew around her, then whistled into the undergrowth.
The sun set slowly, splashing orange, red, and gold in the sky. The light flickered in her eyes, making the fire that already burned in them turn into a spectrum of color. She got up off of the tree branch she was sitting on and walked back to her own, stone mansion. If only things weren't so complicated.
Sonic watched her leave. He wished that she didn't have to. He was banished from ever seeing her. But they met secretly anyway. They were good friends years ago, why did that all have to change now? Because the famlies hated each other. Because of someones cruel actions years ago. Because he wasn't "good" enough according to Blaze's family. He laid a hand on his head.
The sun was soon all the way behind the hill. Darkness spread over the sky until the sky was a deep velvety blue. Stars were scattered across the sky like broken glass. Sonic frowned and ran a hand through his quills. If only things weren't so complicated.
Light streamed through the window and onto Blaze's face. She squinted.
"Errrrrrrr..." she growled. Grabbing a velvety pillow, she pulled it over her face. Then she remembered.
"Sonic!" Her hand maid rushed in.
"What was that, dear?" The green cat asked.
"Nothing." Blaze said quickly. Her hand maid looked suspicious. Blaze jumped out of bed and rushed to the wardrobe and pulled out a pale orange dress. It went down to her knees.
"I'll wear this today." She declared. Her hand maid narrowed her eyes.
"I thought that you hated dresses," she said slowly.
"I changed my mind," Blaze looked down. In that short amount of time, she had thrown off her night gown, put on her undergarments, and and changed into her orange dress. She grabbed an apple from the fruit basket and darted out the door. On the way to the pond, she pulled her hair into a messy braid that matched her dress.
She quickly jumped over the broken tree that fell in front of the pond. She burned through the undergrowth and came to two paths. She chose the right one and leaped over the small bog and saw her hedgehog.
Sonic smoothed out his white shirt and looked to see Blaze coming toward him, balancing on the overflowed dam. She tackled him in a hug. He stroked her hair that had came out of the braid he had seen her coming with. It was now flowing free in the wind, long and graceful.
"I missed you," she whispered.
"And I you," Sonic replied. They hadn't seen each other all week, but it felt like eons.
"My hand maid suspected something," Blaze told him, worriedly. Sonic shook his head. He opened his mouth to speak, but another voice replaced his,
"Hey! You!"
