Hello! I decided to do this shorts series because:

1. It seemed like a fun/ creative idea

2. I could put a character's story here, without having to worry about how to weave it into the main story

3. Who doesn't love extra skits about King Sonic and the others?

*If you didn't read The Black Knight, I wouldn't recommend reading this since it might produce some confusion.*

Oh, and I'm writing some of these stories based off of the relationships in the story. So please don't review saying 'this person's kissing this person!' or 'boy! The relationship between this character and this character is going fast!'

So just sit back, relax, and enjoy The Black Knight Shorts!

~The Beach~

It was a dreadfully hot summer's day. With the castle having no real source of air, it was like a sauna; slowly cooking the unfortunate inhabitants inside it.

King Sonic was sprawled out on his throne, waving his hand back and forth in front of his face, in a feeble attempt to cool himself.

"It's so hot!" Sonic yelled.

One of his knights, Lancelot, was sitting on the throne steps.

"That is the fifth time you've said that, my lord," Lancelot said, sighing. "No matter how many times you say it, the heat won't go away."

"Make the heat go away, Lance," Sonic whined, covering his face with his golden crown.

"I am a knight of the Round Table, not a genie."

"Guys!" Galahad exclaimed, sprinting into the throne room. "I know how we can survive the heat! We can go the beach!"

"Sounds like a good idea," Lancelot said.

"Since when do you like taking off your armor?" Sonic asked.

Lancelot smirked. "Since it's super hot, and I would not like my cause of death to be heat exhaustion from my armor."

~Black Knight Shorts!~

Sonic watched his knights chase and splash each other from afar. He had brought a towel to sit on, so he wouldn't have to sit on the burning sand. The king was glad he picked a spot under a palm tree. It's leaves shielded him from the intense rays of the sun.

"What's wrong, my lord?"

Sonic looked at Lancelot, and blushed. The knight was only wearing black swim trunks.

Sonic sighed. "I can't swim," he said.

"I can teach you how to swim," Lancelot said.

"Thanks for the offer, but everyone's already tried to teach me how to swim. They get impatient with me and give up."

"Well, I won't give up on you. Swimming is good skill to have in life."

~Black Knight Shorts!~

Sonic was on a roll! He already mastered the front and back float, and the back stroke. He was still struggling with the front stroke, though. Maybe having Lancelot as a teacher helped.

"You're a natural at swimming, my lord," Lancelot said.

Sonic swam next to the knight. "I can't believe I'm actually swimming! I used to be so afraid of water. Now it doesn't really faze me!"

"You got the basics really fast. Why did everyone give up on you?"

"I couldn't get the basics," Sonic said, blushing. "I think I only got the hang of it now because you taught me." His muzzle turned an even deeper shade of red when Lancelot kissed him.

Sonic didn't know if it was just him or the sun, but the water seemed to be getting warmer…

This first story is bad, I know. But the next story is going to be better! In the next short, we get to see Lancelot's past before he became a Knight of The Round Table! Reviews are appreciated!
