Funny Kiss

~The Dream and Reailty

Sally, now 20 years and of age was sitting on her bed in her hut in Knothole. She was looking down on her pale blue dress which she was required to wear at the meeting her father is holding for the Freedom Fighters and Secert Service. What would be so inportaint as to call the two conflicting squads puzzled her, but not as much as her emotions right now.

Sighing, she closed her eyes to look at the grass ceiling above her, once again she was thinking of Tails. Why was she thinking of him of all people? She must be losing it she told herself to belive, she rolled over and laid on her stomach, even though her dirty bed would probally ruin it.

"Aunt Sally?"

Oh no, just what I need...She looked at the door and nodded."You can come in Miles."

The door opened slowly and the kistune walked in. "Hey..."He was chuckling."I told you not to call me that!"

Tails was about 14 years old now, but no one could tell for sure since be was found. He wore a black headband around his head, just under his truff of fur, and a black shirt with the image of something that no one but he could figure out. He sat down beside her, at the edge of the bed since she was laying down. "Are ya all ready for the meeting at the Castle today?"

"That's all you came over to tell me?" Sally said that harsher then she wanted to, she could tell she really hit a low key when she seen Tails' ears lower. "Oh...sorry, just a bit tense about something."

"About what?" His hand found hers, holding it gently.

She looked down at thier hands, then up at him. Damnit, does he have to do that right now? She smiled. "Nothing much." She shook her head.

"Come on, you always talk to me 'bout stuff, since we were kids!"

Sally had to pull her hand out his now, she was feeling unconftable, she also had to sit up on the bed beside him. "I know, but I don't think I can talk to you about it, not just yet."

"Why not?" Tails wanted a clear ansew out of her, he was never used to being blown off completely.

Sally stood up now, looking strait at the wall."Because it involes you, and I just can't talk to you right now about it."

"Well..."He was more curious then ever now." Ok, I'll leave you alone about it then." He got up and headed towards the door. "I'm about late for school again anyway."

Sally could tell he was hurt now, but she tried to ignore it." Go ahead to school Miles, you'll need it." She almost stumbled on the words to finish off.

Tails said nothing out loud, She thinks I'm dumb...she doesn't like me at all now.He thought leaving the hut, he almost imedently ran into Sonic.

"Whoa lil' guy, are you ok? Its not like you to do something like that." Sonic said, he just came hoe from school, for safety, Max had split the schoolday into halfdays, he did this to probally set Sonic and Sally off, since they went to school at differnt times.

Tails smirked, his twin tails twitched behind him. "Well we all don't act like ourselves now of days..."

Sonic was confused." What do you mean by that?" He slightly tilted his head.

"Lots have changed since we first started out here, face it. Knothole is a city now, not just a base for the Freedom Fighters, every mobian on earth depends on this place."

Sonic grunted his teeth, that one sharp fang, chipped from fighting Robotnick at the time they called 'Endgame'. "They turned our home into this...Robotnick will find us for sure."

"I know-I know...its only a matter of time now."

-=A few hours later, at the Castle of Acorns=-

The two respective teams were at the table, the King and Queen sat on each end, and each team sat on one side of the tabke. Surprizenly, only St. John and Hershy showed for the SS. And St. John and Sonic were staring daggers into eachother.

"Ok everyone, lets not beat around the bush, lets get down to business." The King said bringing everyone to attention.

Bunnie smiled. "Ah think that will bah best yer Hignness, before the tables n charies go a-flyin!"

"Ok-ok..."He chuckled in good humor. "We all know that I can no longer rule over this kingdom, Elias is gone and Sally is of age. So now we must prepare for Sally to come up to the throne. And as I said before she came of age, on the subject of her wedding to Antonie De'collet, he would like to speak."

Antoine stood up and bowed lightly." Moi would ah love to have taking the Princess' hand in marryage, but ah have founding another love." He sat back down beside Bunnie, but not before giving her a peck on the cheek.

"Say WHA?" Everyone echoed, not understanding a word.

Bunnie giggles slightly. "Sugar-twan said he ani't marryin' Sally cuz he loves mah!"

"Ohhhhhh....."

"So." Max brought then back on subject. "We now have to find a sutor for Sally...and I have chosen one."

Sally was about to stand up in protest, but a part of her didn't want to speak out to her father, that part was Elias and her mother, who sat and watched him make the choices that destoryed thier kingdom. She didn't have to courage to stand up to him.

"And who I have chosen...is him." He pointed down the row of Freedom Fighters to Sonic, everyone exchanged confused glances. "I know my daughter loves him."

I used to, but not anymore. Sally looked at Sonic, who was suddenly looking down at the floor. "Daddy..."

"And Bean, if you don't want to marry him...then I have no choice but to take over the Kingdom untill the day I die, which then I will give the Kingdom to whom Elias left second in command."

"Which would be me." St. John said with a grin.

Sally looked around the table, but stop looking at Tails."Do I have to choose now?"

"That would be best for your father and I Sally."Alica said softly.

Sally was starring at Tails, thier eyes met for a second, and only a second before she looked down at the ground. She swallowed hard, she was shaking.

"I'll marry him..."
