Another chapter up! Hope you are enjoying it so far!

Amy's (POV)

So I was up in my room when suddenly mother came in, barging in with a scream.

"AMY!"

I carelessly fumbled between my legs and fell hard on my bottom. I angrily groaned at mother whom she was still racing around the room with a panic. She saw me with gasp and said, "AMY! What are you doing in the ground getting yourself dirty?!"

"In the GROUND?! DIRTY?! You're the one who-"

"Never mind that. Here," she tossed me a beautiful red dress and sent me rushing behind the folding screen, "put that on and hurry! Your fiance will be arriving soon! You must look your best today."

"What?! What ever for?! For him? Why would I do it for a stranger?!"

But yet, she had ignored me again. She walked out the door in a hurry and shut the door real harsh. But I had to do what I was told, or else mother will be furious. Just when I was about to slip off my dress, a sudden presence decided to stop by. I took a peek out of the screen when my eyes widened at the sight of Shadow sitting down on my bed. His sharp eyes quickly caught me peeking and a creepy looking smirk spread across his face.

He let out a chuckle. "You look pathetic there, Rose. Why would you go through this if you're not enjoying yourself?"

I through my dress aside for him not to see. Its a good thing that he decided to appear before he could've seen me naked. But he must of noticed that thought because he ended up smiling even more, worse, with burning red cheeks.

"C'mon. What's the matter?" he laughed, raising one knee to his chest, "Afraid to expose yourself a little?"

"Don't even start with me, hedgehog! I wouldn't do such thing! Not even from the likes of you!"

He stood up in a concern way and walked up in my direction as I stepped back. My back ended up touching the wall when I suddenly realized I was trapped in the corner. Shadow had a very scary looking face that I couldn't bare to see him that way. I shut my eyes, waiting for what he was going to do next. But it was silence that made me open them again and eyes appeared in front of mine as he stared in deep thought.

His hands were on both sides of my shoulders, making sure that I wouldn't escape from his grasp. I wasn't able to move my hands at the moment when my left shoulder was released from his tight hold and made its way to my cheek. His mouth hovered to my ear, sending slight tingles to my body.

"Once your done with your meeting, you'll join me outside of the castle for a quick talk of a deal you had made with me."

"A what! I haven't made no deal with you!" I pushed him across the room.

"I warned you, Amy." he disappeared again.

"UGH!" I dropped to the ground, feeling a sudden burn coming from my left shoulder that made me feel weak. What the heck did that creep do to me?! I took a look over my shoulder and saw a burning mark. It was more like a symbol. A circle shape symbol with spikes coming out of it. That jerk! What is this?! A threat? Fine, if he wants me to go, I'll go. For safety sake, I have to get rid of this thing.

I weakly stood up, saving enough energy to at least stand up and make it to my dress.

~O~O~O~

I had trouble running down the stairs with this annoying dress of mine. One, I was late to meet up with my parents. Two, this dress was too long and kept me from arriving there.

The more frustrating thing about this dress was that it was an off shoulder dress. Was mother trying to make me look like a prostitute?! I was showing too much skin in this! I swear, that women can't have her limits when it comes to things such as these. The worst part was that how am I going to be able to hide this stupid mark behind my shoulder? This mark was way too obvious to tell.

But I finally arrived at the entrance, not having enough time to think about it. I joined mother on her side, sliding a smile onto my lips.

"Just look at you! My beautiful princess is now a women of elegance!"

"Just because I was forced to put on this elegant dress?" I said flatly.

She studied me for a bit and suddenly reached behind my shoulder and pulled out a big rose from the rose bush. She attached it on the right side of my head and rustled it a bit.

"OWW! Be careful with the thorns, will ya?!"

"Oh, shush child. I'm only putting it on." she fidgeted a bit more and said, "There. All done."

But then I felt a cold touch of fingers set on my shoulder.

"Amy, what's this? Is that a hickey? Amy," she gasped, "are you cheating on your fiance already?!"

"WHAT?!" father shouted out.

"Huh? What, NO!" I slapped her hand away.

And just in time when suddenly, the castle gates began to open. I tried hiding the mark but mother kept tugging my dress.

"We will talk about this soon, young lady." she whispered while trying to keep a smile to the incoming rulers. My heart beat faster in worry. But that was out of the way for now. I focused on what was more important. I waited in anticipation to see who he was. Once the gates had been closed again, my heart immediately stopped at the moment.

Sonic's (POV)

And there she was. Or at least, I thought it was her. She didn't look much of a looker to me. Just a plain boring girl. But that dress and that rose on her just set my eyes on lock. I was so distracted when I felt a sudden push coming from behind and I tripped on the cobble stones and landed right on top of her. I let out a groan. My face rested on something round and firm,... her breasts! I quickly got off of her and swung a punch father's arm. He chuckled nervously.

I could've sworn that I heard a a big thud coming from her head because she landed pretty hard on the ground. The girl slowly picked herself up, rubbing her head in pain.

"Hey! Watch where you're landing! Idiot!" she came in with a quick slap spread across my face.

"Hey! It was my f-"

"ENOUGH!" the king had shouted, separating both of us apart.

The king had cleared out his throat and started off with a smile. "Now," he had turned directly to face me with a sudden change of face expression, "Sir, Sonic the Hedgehog. I'd like to introduce you to my daughter, your fiancee, Amy Rose." he reached behind her back and pushed her purposely in front of me.

"Amy," he looked directly at her, "this is the man that your mother and I have decided for you to be engaged with."

The girl, Amy, looked at me in raged and let out a "hmph" and walked out of the scenery.

She looked over her shoulder and said, "He's no fiance to me." and disappeared behind the castle walls.

Neither is she. I had thought.

"Now, son." I felt a hand press against my shoulder, "She's still very young to understand. Too stubborn as well. You must give her time and space to ease a little on this."

I replied with a simple nod. Like if I'd ever get near her. Yeah right.

Not much interesting here, is it? Well, guys, I'll hardly be posting now that school has started again. I'm guessing some of you must've noticed that.

I wish I had time to at least write another chapter but this is all I can do for now. Thank you so much for the views and reviews! :)

Sorry for wrong spelling or grammar. I'm still learning ya'know?
