Knuckles had finally proposed to Sonia after they'd been together for more than five years and she had simply been over the moon about it all day. He had given her a beautiful emerald ring, it hadn't been cut from the master emerald but it was from a large stone very similar to it just without the attributes. He knew that Sonia loved her jewellery and had picked it out specially for her.
Sonia had been out shopping all day with her two best friends Amy and Mina. She preferred Mina to Amy, Amy's mindframe was always constantly questioning her about Sonic. What's Sonic up to today? Will Sonic be coming over to yours tonight? Is Sonic still single? Were just a few of the many questions the pink hedgehog constantly bombarded her with. Mina had been dating her younger brother Manic the last few months, Sonia hoped she would help curb his stealing tendencies but thus far he had continued to steal for a living even though Mina made a good enough income from her singing skills.
They'd been in several shops that day trying on outfits and having a few drinks, Sonia insisted she had to get a whole new outfit for the evening dinner where the engagement would be announced to the close family and friends that had been invited to it. Only five had been invited to it, the two she was with were included in that number. She didn't want too many people to know about it just yet. That would come later.
Mina thought surely out of the two hundred plus outfits the china pink hedgehog already owned would be an outfit good enough for the dinner. It was just around friends after all, it wasn't like she was meeting the high society aristocrats. But Mina knew better than to open her mouth about it. Last time she received a verbal autobiography of why something was needed, she didn't particularly want to sit and listen to another hour long episode of that. Besides, Amy's constant questions about Sonic were enough to listen to.
And it wasn't much longer until they would all be back at Sonia and Knuckles' place for the dinner.
