To be a Prince
*Abigail took a carriage & went to "Madame Breezie's Dress Emporium". Breezie was in the main room when she arrived*
Madame Breezie: Welcome. Did your Mistress send you to place an order? I can assure you. You'll find only the finest at Madame Breezie's.
Abigail: If I may? I would like to speak to one of your tailors. Mr. Sonic.
*Breezie was shocked at the request*
*They met at the back of the store. Sonic was practically bursting with excitement*
Sonic: I don't believe it! The Prince sent for me!
Abigail: Uh, actually . . .
Sonic: I'm gonna sing at the castle! Me!
Abigail: Uh, I came because . . .
Sonic: But I'm not ready. I have to rehearse!
Abigail: Uh, if I could just . . .
Sonic: I better change. Wait, what I am I talking about? This is all I have. Wait, isn't that why your here?
Abigail: I'm sorry, but no. *she looked around**whispering* The Prince is missing. And I need you to help me find him.
Sonic: Me? What can I do?
Abigail: Pretend to be Prince Shadow.
*Sonic gasped & looked around, nervous*
Sonic:*whispering* Are you out of your mind!?
Abigail:*whispering* Just listen. I suspect Dr. Starline, the Queen's Advisor & his daughter Fiona, have the Prince off somewhere so the royal wedding will be cancelled.
Sonic: That's awful.
Abigail: If you pretend to be the Prince, just for a short while. I can trick them into revealing where they're hiding him.
Sonic: Pretend to be royalty? I could get thrown in prison, or worse.
Abigail: As can I. But . . .
*She looked down, worried*
Sonic: He's in real trouble, isn't he? A boy like me . . . Count me in!
*Sonic put on his blue cloak & then he & Muttski kept their heads down as Abigail drove the carriage up the road leading to the castle. They took a little peak at it & were amazed. They then snuck into the castle & then up to Shadow's bedroom*
Sonic: Would you look at the size of this place.
*They walked up to Shadow's desk, where Harvey was waiting for them. Sonic started to get nervous*
Abigail: It's okay, Sonic. This is Professor Who. Prince Shadow's tutor. He's going to help us.
*Sonic held out his hand to him*
Sonic: N-Nice to meet you.
*Harvey shook his hand*
Harvey Who: A pleasure. *they all then turned to a portrait of Shadow, the Queen, & Maria* There is a bit of resemblance.
Sonic:*taking off his hood* Except for my quills and eyes.
Abigail: We've thought of that.
*She left to go fetch something. Just then, Muttski started jumping on Shadow's bed*
Sonic:*chuckles* Muttski. Hmm. *he ran up to the bed, & flopped on it* Nice.
*Abigail walked up to him, carrying a small wooden box*
Abigail: Black and red in a box. *she opened it & took out a gold amulet with a red ruby in the middle* A little gift from the Royal Wizard. As long as you wear that, you'll look just like the Prince.
*Sonic took the amulet, put it on, & immediately, he took on the Prince's appearance*
Sonic: Uh . . . Guys. We're missing one teeny tiny detail. I don't know a thing about being a Prince.
Harvey Who: Leave that to me. *he sat Sonic down at Shadow's desk & pulled out a big book* It's all here in the Book of Royal Etiquette. Let's begin. No nagging, bragging, sweating, fretting, slipping, tripping, slurping, burping, twittering or frittering allowed. Stay pleasant, stay present, stay proud.
*Harvey Who singing*
To be a Prince
Is to know which spoon to use
*Abigail ran over a closet & opened it, revealing many pairs of shoes. Sonic's eyes went wide*
*Abigail singing*
To a Prince
Is a thousand pairs of shoes
*Harvey Who singing*
To maintain a regal gait
Leave the parsley on your plate
And be charming, but detached
And yet amused
To be a Prince
Is to never be confused
Do a plie and never fall
Don't ever stray from protocol
All through the day
There's just on way you must behave
*Abigail motioned for Sonic to offer her his arm & he did. She took & they walked a few steps with Muttski behind them*
Do keep a grip and never crack
Stiff upper lip and arch the back
Bend from above and always wear your gloves
And wave
Shoulders back and
Tummy in and
Pinky out and
Lift the chin and
Slowly turn the head from side to side
*Sonic singing*
I see now
*Abigail singing*
Breathing gently
Stepping lightly
Smile brightly
Nod politely
Never show a thing you feel inside
Glide
*She pushed Sonic into another closet & he came out wearing a (look up "Prince Sonic - Cosium Outfits - Casual Outfit" by "LiyuConberma" on "DeviantArt"). Muttski was a little surprised*
To be a Prince
Is to always look your best
To be a Prince
Is to never get to rest
*Harvey Who singing*
Sit for a portrait
Never squirm
Sleep on a mattress, extra firm
Speak and be clever
Never at a lose for words
Bow to every count and lord
Learn how to play the harpsichord
Sing lullabies and always harmonize in thirds
*Harvey Who, Abigail, & Sonic singing*
Thirds
Thirds
*They all turned back to the portrait of Shadow, the Queen, & Maria*
*Abigail singing*
And he has beautiful eyes
Your spirits rise
When he walks in the room
Sonic: I see
*He looked at Harvey with a knowing smirk & Harvey nodded back*
*Abigail singing*
Doors close
And the chemistry grows
He's like a rose
That's forever in bloom
*She cleared her throat & they continued*
*Harvey Who singing*
Do a pile and don't
*Sonic singing*
Ever ever ever fall
*Abigail singing*
Never show dismay
*Sonic singing*
And be there when people call
*Harvey Who singing*
Be prepared whatever royal life will bring
Do keep a grip and don't
*Sonic singing*
Ever ever ever crack
*Harvey Who singing*
Take a dainty sip
*Sonic singing*
Never ever turn your back
*Abigail singing*
There's a time and place and way for everything
*She then picked up Shadow's crown & put it on Sonic's head*
*Harvey Who singing*
To be a Prince
Is to never make your bed
*Abigail singing*
To be a Prince
Is to always use your head
*Suddenly, Sonic tripped while he was practicing his bowing*
Sonic: WHOA!
*As he fell, the pendant came off, revealing his blue quills. Just then, they heard the sound of trumpets*
*Down in the throne room, Ambassador Rouge looked at the grandfather clock*
Rouge: It is official then. Due to the disappearance of the Prince, the wedding to Queen Sally is cancelled.
*Starline & Fiona gave each other a sly smirk. Queen Aleena looked deviated. Just then, Abigail & Harvey burst into the room*
Abigail: Your Highness, wait!
*Everyone turned to them*
Harvey Who: May we present, Prince Shadow.
*Queen Aleena got up from her throne with a hopeful smile*
Queen Aleena: Darling? *Starline & Fiona's eyes both went wide. Sonic walked into the room, wearing his amulet & a nervous smile. Sally blushed a little at the sight of him. Halfway to the throne, Sonic tripped, but quickly picked himself up* Shadow? *she squeezed him tightly* Oh, you're back! Where have you been!?
Shadow (Sonic): I am sorry. I should not have run away.
*Starline & Fiona looked at each other, confused. Queen Aleena hugged him again*
Queen Aleena: Promise me you'll never do it again.
Rouge: Well, I still think we should cancel the wedding. *Sally cleared her throat* But an agreement is an agreement. The wedding is back on. Queen Sally is due tomorrow!
Queen Aleena: Wonderful!
Shadow (Sonic): Uh . . . Tomorrow . . .
Queen Aleena: And then, only a few short days before the wedding.
Dr. Starline: If you'll excuse us. Fiona and I must be off to see to the arrangements.
*They made their way towards the door. Suddenly, Muttski jumped in front of Fiona & barked at her. She yelled & kicked him out of her way*
Fiona: Who let this mangy beast in here!?
*Muttski growled at her again*
Abigail: Everything alright, Miss Fiona?
Fiona: It soon will be.
*She walked away, chuckling & Abigail giving her a suspicious look. Just then, something fell out of her shoe. Muttski sniffed it*
Abigail: What have you got there, boy? *she picked it up & sniffed it* Hmm, from a silver fur tree. What are Starline & Fiona doing in the western forest?
*She was about to follow Starline & Fiona, but the Queen stopped her*
Queen Aleena: Abigail, wait! I want to hear all about how you & Professor Who found Shadow.
Abigail: Uh . . . Of course, Your Majesty.
Note: I recently went back to my old stories and changed a few things.
