A/N: Hey y'all! I see you came back for more! Well, this is after the Ladies of Longford's song "Enchanted Night." If you want to listen to it, Youtube might have it, I'm not sure. I'll somehow upload it and the other Longford songs on my Youtube account, no worries!-that is, if I can figure out Youtube… Last I searched on Yahoo!, the only thing they gave me was Taylor Swift's "Enchanted." Weird. Though, this particular song is sung by Hilda Doyle of the Ladies of Longford.

As for this story's description? Read it and find out. Period. I do want you to note that this was modeled after the USMC, because I don't have a single clue on what the Scottish, or Irish armies are like. Also, I modeled some of the characters after Gomer Pyle (Gomer Pyle USMC, a 60's TV show):

1. Private Silver Tsurumi: our main character, is a shy Scottish-Japanese lad, with a sarcastic temperament when irritated or angry at someone. He finds his mate in a garden. After about a year of seeing Amy partially in secret, he leaves for a war with Ireland. He tends to be closed off and doesn't talk very much about his and Amy's relationship with the others, because he gets easily embarrassed when talking about love and girls.

2. Corporal Olgilvie Kay Michaels Maurice (Sonic): modelled partially after Gomer Pyle. Pyle, a US Marine, is a very happy-go-lucky Southerner from the Andy Griffith Show, who left the show to do a spin-off called "Gomer Pyle USMC." He tends to crack jokes when unnecessary and irritates his Sergeant a LOT (reminds you of a certain pair of hedgehog doppelgangers, no?). He is Sergeant Robotnik's Corporal.

3. Sergeant Shadow Robotnik: modelled after Sergeant Vincent Carter from Gomer Pyle USMC. Robotnik, like Carter, are very serious characters, and like Carter, Robotnik tends to get very easily irritated with Maurice (Carter gets irritated with Pyle). He is also Private Taranaki, and Corporal Maurice's platoon sergeant. (I can see Shadow playing the part of Sergeant Carter, somehow…Olgilvie I can see playing Gomer too…)

4. Private Taranaki (Knuckles's native name): tending to be serious and solitary, Olgilvie has trouble trying to get him to open up. He follows orders with strict obedience, and is loyal to his mother country, Scotland.

5. Amy Rose: our Scottish lassie here who is Silver's girlfriend. She's still the same Amy Rose, but in love with Silver.

6. Rouge: still the same sex-pot she's always been…who is still in love with Knucky.

7. Tails: still that twin-tailed, 9 year-old, Greek Geek (He's not Greek. It's a phrase I use to say "geek"! And yes, Tails in this story is a Grecian) who can figure out even the toughest problems even rocket scientists can't figure out.

8. General Carter: though named after Sergeant Vincent Carter, General Carter is modelled slightly after Pyle's general. General Carter tends to be soft with his men, and is willing to help to the best of his abilities.

Sorry the introduction is so long guys ^^* Anywho, enjoy this story, while I taunt you with the brownies I'm eating! Hehe! Hmm…I need some milk for these brownies.

Story III: The Enchanted Night

By: The Andromeda Rose

Part I: The Garden Meeting

"It was one cool night in the spring

His eyes met hers and their hearts did sing.

Oh, for a chance to see her smile again.

Maybe roses, he would bring.

Every night his wish was to repeat,

Of the wonder of the moment when their eyes did meet,

Oh, for a chance to see her smile again.

Maybe roses, he would bring."

One cool evening, a pink hedgehog-lass wandered through a lovely garden in a Scottish forest, a garden that she wandered through every evening until late at night. She enjoyed this part of the forest since it was the prettiest area she had ever seen.

The smell of ozone filled the air. Oh! That sweetest smell! It was the freshest air in the mountains! Nothing but pure air. Pure…a lovely word to describe this young lassie who just now picked a honeysuckle flower.

The Scotch Mist rose up from the ground, creating an atmosphere all its own. It teased the pink one's face by throwing cool water on her. Everywhere, the Scotch Mist seemed to gently kiss every living creature, from each flower's petal, to leaves, and dainty shrubs and trees.

Every flower was in blossom this time of year, and so rich were the colours! and so many different kinds of flowers too! Mosses, lilies, roses, apple blossoms, cherry! The scent of the flowers seemed to overwhelm this Scottish garden.

Taking in a deep breath of the crisp air, the pink hedgehog noticed a rose not too far from her. She reached up and tried to pull it off the stem, but the stubborn little flower refused to leave its home.

"Oh! That flower!" becoming frustrated, she resolved to try again and again, forcing it to come into her bouquet.

Not far from where the lass stood, another hedgehog sat beside a doe, in the bushes by the stream running through the garden. The doe had just given birth to twins. This young doe he had found and cared for since she was a fawn, for her mother died from a disease that had struck the land not long ago.

He heard her shout and glanced up to see, a beautiful, and fair lass fighting a rose for all it had. He chuckled as her shout made his doe's ears prick up with excitement, "Hey, it's okay Claire. It's okay…" he soothed her. He watched Claire for a moment, then turned his attention to the pink hedgehog. He smiled as she struggled with that one little rose, then proceeded to unleash the flower for her himself.

A white hand reached up and pulled the rose off its vine. He turned and held the flower out to her, "This is for you." he said. His voice…it was simply charming!

Their eyes met, gold to jade…and both felt their faces grow hot when they met. She smiled, he smiled. Both felt butterflies…you know, that time when you first meet a cute boy or girl? Or your first date or school dance? Yeah, that's the feeling.

"Oh!" startled, and flattered, Amy couldn't help the red blush that crossed her face in that instant she looked into his gold eyes. He was a silver hedgehog, with gold eyes that glistened with kindness, yet, there was a sense of strength in his eyes too.

"Thank you…" she blushed again.

Giving a bow, he said, "You're welcome my fair maiden." he kissed her cheek, but her delicate lips were so appealing! and he had only a few minutes before he would have to leave for the night…so he kissed her lips, before leaving as Cinderella did to her prince. (A/N: Pardon the gender bender. I couldn't think of anything else that matched…and pardon the pun ;)

She held her hand up to her lips, entranced by him as he ran away from the garden and back into the surrounding forest.

"She was a fair and tender creature,

And he was kind and strong of heart.

Though neither one did know

Each had touched the other's soul

They held onto that enchanted night."

The white one arrived back to his dwelling place, where his friends were. The little white cottage had smoke coming from its chimney, and there was light pouring out from the windows and onto the grass. A figure moved near the window, then away from it and the door opened, "Hey Silver! You've been gone for quite a while." a cobalt hedgehog led his friend inside, the first thing he noticed, was his face was very, very red, "Why's your face so red Silver? and where've you been all night? Out with a girl?" he teased, as his white friend became redder than the rose he retrieved for his maiden.

"Well, not exactly-" he began, but was interrupted by his cobalt friend again.

"So you were with a girl!" he scolded as the other's face just went even redder.

"Sonic!"

"Then what were you doing out so late for?" his grin was as mischievous as the Cheshire Cat.

"I was down by the brook, in that garden we found, helping Claire give birth to her twins when I saw a pink hedgehog trying to break a rose off a vine that was too high for her."

"Claire had her fawns tonight?" Sonic's ears pricked up at this, "You mean that fawn you found last year?"

"Yep, that's my little Claire." he said smiling, "She had a girl and a boy."

"Heh, well give my congratulations to her next time you see her." he did his famous thumbs-up, then returned to the previous subject, "So you found a lass who was picking flowers at night eh?" he smiled.

"Yes I found a lassie picking flowers at night. Don't forget that I go out at night too to find Claire." he reminded his cerulean friend.

"Okay, okay, so maybe I judged you." he admitted, then added, "But it is late."

"I didn't mean to be out this late! Claire almost lost one of her fawns, and I had to stay to make sure she was going to be alright."

He nodded and sighed, "I understand." he looked to the other thoughtfully, "You love that little doe of yours don't you?"

"I practically raised her Sonic." he used his hands to help emphasize what he was saying, "She's my little girl."

His brother shook his head as he tossed some more wood into the fire, "So tell me about this lass you found at the Forest Garden."

"Well, she had a bouquet of so many different flowers from the garden! She found this rose that was too high for her, and I picked it for her, and, well, I…Golly, the garden was pretty tonight!" he exclaimed.

"Yes, I'm sure the garden was pretty." he teased him again, "Well, you what?" he urged.

"I…I kissed her." he looked away as his friend stifled a laugh. His face was red…again.

"You got your first kiss tonight by a maiden you don't even know her name to?"

"Yes…I did." geesh, this was getting harder and harder to admit to his blue friend!

His brother smiled and shook his head as he watched his silver friend gaze out the window toward the garden for a moment, "It's getting late, and you should be in bed."

"Yes, Sonic is right Silver." Shadow intervened, "Tails is already in bed, and so should you."

"We're only up because we were waiting for you."

He sighed, "Alright, if you say so. Goodnight!" he ran up the staircase and into his bedroom.

"He must've found a lass he really likes for him to be this happy." the cerulean one sat at he kitchen table.

Shaking his head and chuckling lightly, Shadow too sat with his friend at the table, "Indeed. He's in love." then a thought struck him, "Does he even know her name?"

"No, just that she was picking a flower, she's pink, and he kissed her."

"He kissed a lass he doesn't even know?" he suppressed laughter for fear their white friend might hear them, "She sounds like a fair one, that's for sure. If he ever meets her again, I wonder if they'd get together." he said quietly.

"Only Time will tell, Shadow, only Time will tell."

He looked to the other quite amused, "That sounds odd coming from you."

"Hey!" he retorted back. That tiny smile that crossed his face completely distorted the serious expression he had only a moment ago, causing the ebony one to break out in laughter as the other tried to put his "serious face" back on, "I can be patient too!"

Up in the bedroom, Silver climbed in his bed, the one by the window, and gazed at the Moon, thinking about his maiden, "Tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll go back to that garden to see if I can't find her again! I have to check on Claire again tomorrow anyway, so I'm going back no matter what!"

When Amy arrived home, it was pretty much the same thing, except Rouge wanted to continue to talk about this guy with her…

"Oh, he was adorable! He was completely white, with gold eyes, and he had silver chest fur!"

"He's sounds cute!" Rouge squealed, "What's his name?"

"I…I don't know. I didn't ask him."

"Amy, you have to learn to ask lads before they run off like that!" she scolded.

"I couldn't; he kissed me, then ran off with his face completely red." she giggled at the thought.

"First kiss eh? and you don't even know the guy."

"No…"

"Ah, well, you'll find your beau sometime."
