Chapter One:

True Love's First Dance

"Are you ready, Princess Amelia?" Sonic asked me, extending his hand to me.

I smiled, taking his hand. "Of course, Sir Sonic." With my free hand, I grabbed my dress, lifting it up so I could walk without stepping on it.

Sir Sonic led me to the middle of the ball room, stopping on the exact middle of the floor. He put his hand on my waist, pulling me very close to him. I put my left hand on his shoulder, as he wrapped his right around my waist. We then put our hands together, in sync, and began to dance to the band playing their beautiful violins and pianos.

"So, Princess Amelia," he began making conversation as expected. "How's your day been going so far?"

"Very lovely, thank you, Sir Sonic. How has yours been?" I replied, smiling. As much as I was against marrying someone I had just met, this one was quite cute.

"Very well, thank you, love," he returned the smile. "Will you be having tea later today?"

I nodded once, "yes, everyday at noon with Midna. Are you wishing to join us?"

Sir Sonic shook his head, "I'm afraid not. I have to practice with my sword. Perhaps, however, if we're going to be getting into this marriage, we should become more acquainted, wouldn't you say?"

"I agree completely. Perhaps we could arrange for you to have lunch with Midna and I at precisely one o'clock. Are you engaged then?"

"I should be able to allow it, I'll let my people tell your people."

The music stopped, and I immediately dropped my hands to my side. Sir Sonic bowed, and I curtsied.

"By the way, Princess Amelia, you look dashing," Sir Sonic complimented, before walking off towards his people.

I walked back to the throne with my awaiting mother and father.

"Well?" My father asked, awaiting my thoughts on Sir Sonic.

We were looking for a husband for me, and a new Prince for the kingdom. I had to decide if he was good enough by his dancing. Talking was allowed, but not recommended. My father thinks when you talk, you stop focusing on the dance, and only focus on the conversation. I had thought that was absurd, until I realized I really hadn't paid any attention to our dance.

"It was splendid," I answered. Little did he know I was referring to our conversation, not the dance. He never asked for anything specific, so I technically wasn't lying.

He looked at me, clearly not believing me. I was about to object to his stare when he turned to my mother. "That's magnificent."

"Definitely," she replied, walking over to me and hugging me, barely touching me. If you even call that a hug. She was too worried about looking perfect.

I rolled my eyes at the word. Everything had to be perfect. If anything was less than perfect, someone got fired and everything got redone. I thought it was pitiful, really. There were several times I had to get dressed at least ten times before it got done perfectly.

"Amelia, you should be headed to your dance class, yes?" My father looked at me, smiling.

I nodded, smiling back the same fake smile. I honestly didn't buy his congeniality. It was so fake. We never had a bond like my mother and I. My father and I kept our distance from each other. I've never known why, I just grew up like that.

I headed towards our staircase, holding my dress up off the ground, allowing me to walk up the case.

I knocked on the door in which I take my daily dance lessons.

"Jack?" I called, when he didn't answer the door. He never kept me waiting, not that I didn't mind, I was nothing like my parents were.

I knocked again. No answer. I tried opening the door, but it was locked.

I sighed as I began walking to where Midna and I always have our tea.

As I turned the corner, I bumped into someone. "Terribly sorry," I said, hoping it wasn't my mother or mother. They hate when I apologize to others. According to them, nothing is my fault. I looked up to see Sir Sonic, looking at me. "Hello, Sir," I said, nodding my head.

"Princess Amelia."

"What are you doing?" I asked. I had never seen Sir Sonic wondering the hallways before.

"I had gotten word that my coach was unavailable today, as he is taking a man to the medical area just outside the castle."

"The medical area? What ever for?" We didn't use a hospital. We had a medical area, just go people from our castle. I thought it was silly. If we're going to have a separate hospital for those of us in the castle, why not have the medical area... in the castle?

"A man named Jack broke his leg while -"

"Jack!" I exclaimed. "He's my dancing teacher. I'm supposed to dance with him until noon. What ever am I to do now?"

"That is a lot of dancing, Princess Amelia. If I may."

"Yes, it is," I said, thoughtfully. "Would you like to go get a bite, or see some things? Seeing as we're both free now."

Sir Sonic nodded, "that would be splendid."

We began walking, no where in particular, arm in arm, around the castle.

"So, a bite or some looking around?" I asked, as I was getting a bit bored, going no where.

"I hardly think I'm capable of choosing how to use up your time, Princess."

"Please, I don't mind, at all. I've seen everything, I wouldn't mind showing you around," I smiled.

"Well, alright," he agreed.

I turned our direction around and headed off to show Sir Sonic the parts of the castle he wasn't normally allowed to see. Mother and Father should be occupied until noon, so we should be safe.

A/N: Hey! I hope you guys liked this! An idea struck me, and I had to start writing. This was somewhat hard... I tried to use as many 'fancy' words as possible. [Meaning, something British people might say. I love British people and their accents!]

Anyways, I didn't get to really describe anything yet, so in case anyone is wondering what Princess Amy looks like, go to my profile and read my bio. There will be a link there that shows a photo. That's what I'm going to try to make her look like [:

ANYWAYS. Please review?[: Thanks!
