Ok everyone. Here's my explanation. I heard the song, "Dance with Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman, and instantly fell in love with it and began to daydream about how that could be Sonic with one of his daughters. Well, I came up with a story. So here it is. 'Cinderella' in this story is Sonic and Amy's daughter,Samantha, the seventh of the eight children, who is the last one to go. So… lol please review and enjoy! I do not own the song, or Sonic and Amy for that matter.
Chapter 1
As a Child
She spins and she sways,
To whatever song plays.
Without a care in the world.
Sonic smiled wearily as he watched his four year old daughter, Samantha, spin and sway to a song playing on the radio. She often did that kind of thing; always daydreaming. She would beg her mother to dress her in one of her best dresses in the morning, and would spend the whole day dancing around the house. Sonic had to admit, for a four year old, she could dance pretty well, and often was able to dance with the poor cat, who was getting old, and her siblings. Some of them, like her sisters enjoyed this, but the cat and the boys… well, let's just say when ever she was in the mood to dance they'd run off far away from her.
And I'm sitting here wearing,
the weight of the world on my shoulders.
It's been a long day,
and there's still work to do.
It had been a long day though, and to Sonic, this wasn't the best day for her to be in the mood to dance. Earlier that morning, Tails had called Sonic, his voice troubled. He said that Tia's time had come, and that they needed to get to the hospital. So, Sonic and Amy had to get up right then and go baby-sit Tails and Tia's twins, Cosmo and Jesse. It wasn't like that was a problem, no, Sonic and Amy enjoyed playing with their 'niece and nephew' and their kids enjoyed the company. But they had been at it all day. They had been able to see their new 'nieces'', Mia and Leah, as well, and just now, at 7:00 p.m. had gotten home. Of course, Sonic and Amy were in a frenzy, trying to put all nine kids to bed, so they could get on with what they had already planned for the day. But the kids, were no where near tired, and could probably stay up for another few hours. After all, seven wasn't their bed time; the earliest would be eight. And with Samantha dancing around, she wasn't helping.
All at once, Samantha came bounding up to her father, and grabbed his hand, trying to pull him into the middle of the living room.
She's pulling at me saying,
"Dad, I need you.
There's a ball at the castle.
And I've been invited.
And I need to practice my dancing.
Oh please. Daddy please?"
"Dad, I need you!" she cried, tugging at him even harder.
"What, sweetie?" Sonic asked, wishing she wouldn't be in the way as he muffled a yawn.
"There's a ball at the castle," Samantha started.
"Honey, there's no such-" Sonic stopped himself. She was only four. Why not let her imagination go to extremes?
"And I've been invited," she continued. "And I need to practice my dancing."
"So you need me to practice dancing with you?" Sonic asked. Samantha nodded excitedly.
"Yeah. Oh please? Daddy please? Can you help me?"
Though Sonic was tired, he thought, 'Why not, it'll make her happy, and I need to have some fun with her.'
Sonic smiled down at his young daughter, and picked her up above his head while she squealed with delight. He spinned her around and around for a minute, then set her back down, and began to dance with her. Samantha giggled, and tried desperately hard not to step on her father's feet.
So I will dance with, Cinderella.
While she's hear in my arms.
Cuz I know,
something the prince never knew.
Oh I will dance with Cinderella.
I don't want to miss even one song.
Cuz all too soon,
The clock will strike midnight.
And she'll,
Be gone.
"She's like my own little Cinderella," Sonic thought. "She's pretty, and has the imagination that her mother has and had as a little girl."
Sonic smiled as he thought of his wife. Samantha was so much like her; only, she could actually control her temper. Though since Kyler, Amy was usually in a good mood. Sonic chuckled at this, and spun Samantha around again.
Sonic looked towards the door leading to the kitchen then, and saw Amy, smiling at the two while they danced. Sonic smiled as he shrugged, and said to Amy,
"Well, she wanted to dance."
Amy laughed.
"I'm sure she did."
Samantha yawned, and snuggled into her father, forgetting all about the ball in the castle.
"Tired, honey?" Amy asked her, as she walked up to the two.
"I'm not tired," Samantha said tiredly, as she pushed away another yawn.
Sonic chuckled, and picked Samantha up, as he carried her to her room. Soon there, he gently set her down in her bed.
"But, whatta 'bout the ball?" she asked.
"Tomorrow," Sonic replied, as he kissed her forehead. "The ball's tomorrow."
"But, they said, today," Samantha pressed.
"I heard tomorrow. Now, you don't wanna be tired for tomorrow, so get some sleep, k?"
Samantha nodded, and yawned again, as Sonic and Amy silently exited the room.
"Night, Samantha," Amy called, as she pulled the door to an almost close. Once back in the living room, Amy turned to Sonic, her eyes holding back tears.
"She's gonna be out of this house too fast, Sonic," Amy said sadly, as she put her face into Sonic's chest.
Sonic put his arms around her. "Yeah, they all are," he answered. "But, for now, let's just enjoy them, while we have them in our arms.
For all too soon,
The clock will strike midnight.
And she'll,
Be gone.
Yes, I know this took forever to publish lol, it was in the back of my mind. But, finally, here it is, and I hope you enjoyed it. Please review! Chapter two should be up soon!
