A/N- Hey, I'm back. So this takes place a few months after the end of No More Need to Dream and the status quo really hasn't changed. Until now that is. Enjoy!

No More Need to Worry Chapter 1

Silver POV

And I thought Sonic's proposal to Amy was weird. Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. All this started when I fell in love with my best friend Blaze about a year ago. Our first few months together were pretty wild, especially that spring break vacation we had, but when our senior year came around we were in a steady groove. Then one Saturday morning it hit me, I wanted to get married to Blaze. Fortunately for me Blaze was at track practice so I could talk to my brother Sonic about it. So I got out of bed and headed for the kitchen hoping he was there but instead it was his wife and one of my friends Amy.

"Hey Amy, is Sonic here?" They were staying here until they graduated and were planning to go to the same college. Sonic was for sure going to get a track scholarship, and Amy, well when something involves Sonic she does what she needs to do to be with him.

"No. You guys were out of milk so he left to get some." She answered as she rushed around putting food in her gym bag. "Sorry to leave so quickly, I was up all night studying for college entrance exams and totally forgot about track practice." See, told you. And if you're wondering why Sonic isn't at practice, our school is kinda small and there's only one track coach so they have to trade off practice days sometimes.

"That's okay. Make sure you take some water too." I said floating some bottles over to her. "And say hi to everyone for me."

"Will do." Amy said nodding. Then she ran out the door and I had the kitchen to myself. So I decided to make some omelets for Sonic and myself. I had just finished the second one when Sonic came in with two bottles of milk in his hands.

"Honey, I'm home!" He said in a really hammy way that Amy would love. Too bad I'm not Amy.

"Well Sonic I'm flattered, but three things. One, you're already married, two, I'm your brother, and three, I'm a dude!" I said somewhat shattering his illusion.

"Huh, where did Amy go?" He asked confused.

"Track practice. She stayed up too late yesterday and almost forgot about it." I answered.

"I told her to get some rest. I don't see why she's so obsessed about these college exams though."

"Well of course you don't, you've had a free ride ever since we started high school. And you know she's doing it for you right?"

"I know, but I wish I could show her that I'll be with her no matter where we go to college."

"Well, why don't you study with her some nights? I'm sure she'll appreciate it and it won't hurt for you to learn something for once." I joked.

"Ha, ha, very funny Silver. But that is good advice, so thanks." Sonic said sitting down at the table. "Are one of those mine?" He asked motioning to the omelets.

"Yep, just the way you like it too, cheese and a bit of spice." I said handing him his plate and then sitting down myself. "So since I just gave you relationship advice, I think you should return the favor."

"And I thought you gave me that advice out of the kindness of your heart. You sir have wounded me." Sonic said dramatically, but not really meaning it.

"Come on man, this is serious." I said and he straightened up.

"Sorry. What's up?"

"Well, do you mind me asking when exactly you knew you wanted to get married to Amy?" I asked him. He just grinned at me for a few seconds before he answered.

"I just woke up one day and knew, you know? I rolled over in bed and looked at her and thought, 'I want to feel like this every morning for the rest of my life.' You starting to feel the same way about Blaze?"

"Yeah, I think I am. I wanted to ask you what you thought about it."

"I for one think it's a great idea. You two complement each other so perfectly and you know Mom loves her to death. I mean we both know Dad doesn't like her for some dumb reason, but it's your decision in the first place."

"I really don't care what Dad thinks about her, or anything else he thinks about for that matter."

"Yeah, same here. So, when are you going to go ring shopping, I could help you pick something out. Not today though, I promised to go to Ark City with Shadow, Maria, and Manic later today."

"I'm not thinking that far yet, I still want to talk to Mom about this and I need to get a feel for how Blaze would react to me proposing."

"Good idea. Hey you wanna come to Ark City with us? I'm sure the others wouldn't mind if you did."

"Thanks, but I have plans with Blaze later today. We're going to stay home and relax since the track meet is tomorrow."

"Aw man, I wish I could do that with Amy. Maybe I should ask her to come with us. Well, I hope you two have fun."

"I'm sure we will."

Blaze POV

I'm really starting to hate going to track practice lately. Don't get me wrong, I still love competing and all that, but all these darn reporters are going to be the death of me. Yes you read that right, reporters. Not to toot my own horn, but you guys know I'm one of the fastest runners around and it's been no secret that I've wanted to compete in the Olympics since I was 5, it's just seems that the media has caught on as well. It was okay at first when there were only a few local people, but now every practice about a fourth of the stands are full. Today was more of the same and it was getting on my nerves.

"Blaze, are you okay? You seem a bit off today." Maria Robotnik, who was my friend and who joined the team this year, asked me concerned.

"It's just all these reporters, they're even outnumbering the scouts these days. And they ask the dumbest questions over and over again that have no connection to our competitions."

"Hm, is that way you try to meet Silver at places other than here?"

"You noticed that? Well yeah, it's true. I can't imagine what those reporters would start asking if they knew about us."

"Oh, um, then you might want to look into the stands." Maria said pointing to them. And guess who was sitting there chatting people up? Yeah, it was Silver. Luckily he was only talking to scouts, but I was still worried.

"Oh crap." I muttered. But before anything else could be said Coach Vanilla blew her whistle to get our attention.

"Okay girls, practice is over for today. You all did very well today. I'd say were a shoo in for making the Regionals again this year. But get some rest though, tomorrow is a big day." Everyone thanked her and most of us went to the locker room to change. I actually walked over to Coach Vanilla to talk to her.

"Um Coach, can I talk to you?" I asked a bit timidly.

"Sure you can dear. What seems to be the matter?"

"Is there a back way I could leave today? Silver is here and I don't want these reporters to hassle us."

"I can understand that." Coach Vanilla said. And belive me she could since she was married to a famous actor and comedian. "You two can take the back door in my office. It leads to the school gym and I'm sure you two can find your way from there."

"Thank you." I said and she nodded and headed for the lockers herself. I waited for Silver to come down to the field and I grabbed his hand and led him away.

"Woah! Blaze where are we going?" He asked a bit confused.

"Away from those reporters." I said quickly as we went through the Coach's office and into the gym.

"Wait, what reporters? All I saw were scouts. In fact this one from North-" I wasn't in the mood to talk about that so I just kissed him straight out to get him to stop. "Or we could just do that." Silver said smiling.

"Sorry, just been having a rough day." I told him.

"It's okay. But seriously, reporters?"

"Yeah seriously. Hey, do you mind if we don't tell them we're together, I don't think I could handle it if they found out." I expected Silver to answer immediately but he paused as if to think.

"If you want to that's fine. We're okay right, I didn't do anything did I?"

"What? Silver, you know we're okay. It's just too stressful you know?"

"I guess." He said a bit flatly.

"Hey, I love you okay?" I said tilting his head up to look at me.

"I love you too." He said smiling. "Okay then, you probably need to shower and change right? I'll just wait in the lunch room for you."

"Or we could go home and take one together." I suggested and Silver's eyes lit up.

"Or we could do that. Let's go."
