There you go you little trolls! I fixed some mistakes in all the previous ones and even changed a couple descriptions and scenes. And you get one new chapter. Honestly, I don't get why you guys like this so much. In my opinion I didn't write it very well and it could be ten times better. But, you know what? You guys wanted more, so you're getting more. I'll finish this and right after it's done I will do the winner of my contest which is; drum roll please…SAVING YOU! I'll try to get a new chapter out every two weeks but there's no guarantee. In my English class we just started Shakespeare's "Tragedy of Julius Caesar", and I have a hard ass teacher with a stick up her ass and I have a test every day in her class so blame her if a chapter is late… Okay is it bad that I just realized that I'm doing an interpretation of one Shakespeare play and learning about another in English? …I'm slow
Chapter One
For four generations a war has been fought between the Kingdom of Mobotropolis and the Rose Kingdom. Why they fought, no one really knew. It wasn't for land, or money, or power, that was for sure. Perhaps just to show who was better and stronger. Mobotropolis was always known for its strength and majesty. But the Rose kingdom was known for its wealth and beauty.
In between these two kingdoms there is a market place, not owned by either kingdom where both kingdoms' people get their food and supplies. And this is where our story begins.
Running in every direction people hurried to get their supplies and get home. Now you see the peasants of these two kingdoms didn't have a problem with each other, they usually just went about their business and left the other alone. It was the royal families and their faithful servants who didn't like each other.
Today two servants of the Rose Kingdom's princess were in the market for food for the palace kitchen; one of them a young rabbit with chocolate brown eyes, the other, a seductress of a woman, a white bat with blue eyes. Roaming through the market they searched for the supplies on the list that the palace chef gave them. "Okay we need two dozen apples and a pound of collard greens." The small rabbit said as she pulled her horse behind her, which had two sacks on its saddle to hold their supplies.
"Why are we the ones doing this?" The bat complained trying to keep her purple silk dress from getting dirty. "We're ladies in waiting, not kitchen staff. We help the princess get dressed and help her with her royal duties, not cook her breakfast." Rolling her eyes the rabbit pulled out the money the chef had given her to pay for the apples and collard greens. "The girl that usually did it is sick so I volunteered us to take her place. Besides Rouge, we almost never leave the palace."
"And there's a reason. Think about it Cream; giant clean palace or dirt road market place?" Rouge said as she got her own horse to follow. As she walked every man in the market stared at her. Walking gracefully her hips noticeably swayed but most men were staring at her chest which was barely covered by her sleeveless dress. Cream took notice of one shop keeper just staring at her breathless and almost drooling like a dog. Cream always felt awkward around Rouge because she was a full grown beautiful woman while Cream was only 13 years old and still developing in certain places.
As they walked a red echidna and an orange two tailed fox, wearing Mobotropolis palace uniforms, snuck up behind them. When they were right behind Rouge the red echidna took a firm hold of her rear with a sly grin on his face. With a screech Rouge turned around and tried to kick him but he caught her foot before she could make contact with his face. "Nice legs." He said grinning at the glare she was giving him as he put her leg down roughly. "What do you want Knuckles?" she growled but noticed he wasn't paying attention; he was too busy looking at her chest. "Hey my eyes are up here asshole." She said as Cream stood next to her glaring at the orange two tailed fox standing next to Knuckles. Cream looked over their very nice uniforms; they were obviously of direct service to one of the royals.
"Wow a woman of the night who doesn't like being admired, strange." He said to the fox as if Rouge wasn't there. Grabbing a hold of his collar she pulled him closer to her to the point where their noses touched and her breasts pushed against his chest. "I. AM. NOT. A. HOOKER!" she yelled in his face. He simply smiled and looked down at her chest. At that moment she lost it and punched him in the face sending him flying towards a fruit stand, sending oranges and pairs everywhere. Cream burst out laughing and almost fell to ground.
"Tails help me out." Knuckles said holding his hand out to the fox who in turn helped him up. "You're lucky I don't hit women." He said as he brushed off a banana peel on his shoulder. Rouge grinned and walked away with her head held high and her hands on her hips. "Let's go Cream." Mirroring the smirk on Rouge's face Cream followed behind with her own head held high. Hopping onto their horses they headed back towards the Rose kingdom, running right past Knuckles and Tails; with Rouge flipping them off as they passed.
"Women," Tails scoffed as he watched them leave with a glare. Feeling Knuckles big gloved hand nudge his shoulder he turned around to see Knuckles sly grin. "Let's just get back home; I bet Sonic must be bored out of his mind without us around." Laughing Tails followed Knuckles on their long walk home.
Back at the Rose kingdom Cream and Rouge handed their horse's reins to the stable boy and took their supplies out of the sacks and brought them through the servant's entrance straight into the kitchen. They were met with a large pumpkin looking fox with a stain filled shirt approaching them with a rather angry expression on his face. "Did you get the things I asked for?" he asked with a very scratchy voice. Cream handed him her bags and he put them on the counter.
A second later an older rabbit almost identical to Cream walked in wearing her usual orange floor length dress and an apron around her waist. Cream ran up to her and hugged her waist. "Hey mom,"
Smiling the rabbit patted Cream's head. "Hello Cream, and hello to you too Rouge." She looked up at Rouge who was now leaning against a counter eating one of the apples they just bought. "Hello Vanilla," She said just giving her a slight nod as she finished the apple.
"What took you so long?" The chef asked starting to cut up the other apples.
"We ran into some servants from Mobotropolis." Rouge said getting more annoyed by the second just thinking about what Knuckles did. Vanilla's eyes grew wide as the chef stabbed the counter in anger when they heard their enemy's name. Looking Cream up and down Vanilla looked to see if she had any bruises or cuts. "Did they hurt you?" she asked.
Cream shook her head no giving an embarrassed smile at her mother's worriedness. "They didn't lay a hand on me. But one of them did touch Rouge's butt." Vanilla tried to hold back her laugh as she looked at Rouge's annoyed face. But the chef didn't find that very amusing as he slammed the knife down, cutting the apples angrily. "I'd like to throw those damn Mobians over a cliff."
Walking towards Rouge, keeping her hand intertwined with Cream's, Vanilla whispered into Rouge's ear. "Why don't you and Cream go upstairs and see Amy." Nodding Rouge took Creams hand and headed out of the kitchen. When they left the room they were greeted with a mass stair case with red carpeting and gold railings carved to look like a rose stem curling up the stairs. "Race you," said Cream as she ran up the stairs with Rouge flying close behind. When they reached the top they turned onto a long hallway and approached a big oak door.
To their shock they saw a tall white hedgehog with waist length hair standing in front of the door looking kind of worried. "Um, your majesty," Cream asked as she slowly approached the hedgehog who turned to her, her crystal blue eyes glistening. When Cream was right in front of her she curtsied before asking, "Is something wrong with Amy?"
Turning back to the door the queen sighed. "Amy won't answer me and I haven't seen her anywhere else. I don't know where she could be or what she could be doing." Moving some of her hair out of her face she sighed in frustration and turned to Cream and Rouge. "I have to go talk to Jim about the ball we're throwing next month but could you two try and talk to Amy for me?"
"No problem," Rouge said giving her a smile before she walked off to find her husband. Sighing Rouge walked to the door and banged on it harshly. "Amy, I know you're in there!" She said. All she heard from the other side was a groan. Sighing she pulled a bobby pin from her hair and put it in the key hole opening the door. She and Cream walked into the large room with a king sized bed with gold sheets and a canopy. And around the room various book shelves and dressers and tables were scattered about. But they didn't see Amy anywhere. "Amy?" Cream called looking around the room.
From the balcony they heard a sweet voice say, "I'm out here." Walking towards the door to the balcony and saw what every man in their kingdom considered to be an untouched beauty. An 18 year old pink hedgehog with waist length quills sat on the stone balcony rail with her head resting on her knee and her long white night gown touching the floor. She knew Rouge and Cream were behind her but she kept her eyes on the sun set in the distance. "Amy?" Cream asked. She still stared off into space but answered her with a small, "Hmm,"
Suddenly Amy felt Cream's small hands grip her arm and pull her off the ledge. "What are you doing you could fall." Amy gave her a weak smile and settled with resting her elbow on the ledge and her head on her hand. "Amy, what were you doing?" Cream asked.
"I was just…wondering what it's like over the palace wall." She said having confidence in the fact that she can trust Cream and Rouge with this secret. "Just one day is all I want, just to see what's on the other side." From behind her she heard a loud groan, making her turn around in alarm to see Rouge leaning against the doorway with an annoyed look on her face. "Not you too," She said referring to what Cream had said about getting out of the palace more. "Why would you want to leave? It's beautiful here and you don't have to worry about anything. Out there you could get hurt or assaulted. What could possibly be over that wall that would be of any interest to you?"
Amy sighed at what Rouge said before turning back to the sun set, trying desperately to see past the wall and get at least a glimpse of the other side. "It's different for you Rouge, you didn't live here your whole life and you're still free to leave, I'm not. To me this palace seems more like a prison." Hearing this Rouge felt a little guilty for what she had said, softening her gaze. Thinking about it she understood why Amy might want to go over the wall; to have something new and different in her life.
Sighing Rouge stepped closer to Amy and pulled her into her room with Cream close behind. "Close the door Cream." She said referring to the balcony. While Cream closed the balcony door Rouge looked out the door to Amy's bed room and made sure no one was in the hall, knowing she would be in major trouble if anyone found out about what she was about to do. Sitting Amy on the bed she sat next to her with Cream standing in front of the two of them, not knowing what Rouge was going to say. "I really don't want to do this and before I say anything else let's get it straight that if we're caught, I was forced into this." She said confusing Amy and Cream more and more. "Tomorrow morning Cream and I are going to sneak you out of the palace. But we need to get back here by tomorrow night to keep people from getting suspicious."
Amy felt her heart fly as her jade eyes lit up with happiness. She launched herself at Rouge hugging her tightly. "Thank you Rouge," Rouge let out a small laugh and was snaked into hugging her back. "Get some sleep." Rouge said as she broke the hug. "You're going to need your rest for tomorrow."
And with that Rouge took Creams hand and left Amy in her room to rest for tomorrow. Nut instead of sleeping Amy squealed in happiness and laid back on her bed with a smile lighting up her already beautiful features. She took a rest from her celebration and looked towards the balcony. Smiling she ran to the balcony practically ripping the doors off. Resting her elbows on the rail she sighed in content as the sun disappeared into the horizon. "Finally," she thought to herself.

Hey guys, I know I haven't put any stories out in a long time and I'm really sorry but I'm back and I'm gonna make so many stories you're all going to get sick of my ass! This is probably the best story I've ever come up with and yes it is inspired by "Romeo and Juliet" but I'm giving it a longer running time and making both the families' royalty. And the main difference is that I'm not making them fall in love at first sight, I'm making them friends first. Please comment, and if any of you leave a bad comment, other than constructive criticism, I have one thing to say to you…ITS FANFICTION, GET A LIFE!
