Chapter 9: Day 8: Tea Time.

Sonic and Aleena were walking through a forest, hand in hand, smiling as they watched the birds fly through the green trees and the butterflies fly over flowers.

"In this world, my world..." Sonic sang.

"Where life is strong." Aleena finished as they walked out of the forest.

"In this world, my world..." Sonic sang.

"Life's an open book." Aleena sang before they heard a young voice calling them.

"Mr. Sonic! Queen Aleena!" The two hedgehogs looked in the direction the voice came from and smiled when they saw Cream walking over and waving.

"Hi, Cream." Aleena said as the little rabbit gave her and Sonic a hug.

"Would you two like to come to my house and have tea? Manic and Sonia are there already and so is Amy." Cream asked. Sonic and Aleena smiled at each other before they nodded. They followed Cream to her house, where they saw Sonia and Amy sitting at a table talking as Vanilla served them some tea and sweets while Manic played with Cheese.

"Hey, sibs!" Sonic called, catching everyone's attention.

Sonia and Amy smiled as they waved and called, "Hey, Sonic!" Sonic and Aleena then walked over and sat down.

"Hi, Vanilla." Sonic said.

"Hello, Sonic. Hello to you, too, Your Majesty." Vanilla said as she did a slight bow.

"Hi, Vanilla." Aleena said as the rabbit poured her a cup of tea. When Sonic finished his tea, he thanked Vanilla before running off to play with his siblings, Cream and Cheese.

While the five of them were playing catch, Aleena said to Amy, "Amy, how had my son been with you before your date?"

The pink hedgehog smiled, "He avoided me a lot at first, and would constantly run away, but I could understand. What mattered was that I knew he cared for me. Besides, I found it fun to chase after him time and time again. When he asked me out, I thought my heart was gonna explode with excitement!" she said, getting more and more excited as she spoke, "I had a crush on him for the longest time. He always makes me smile and laugh whenever I see him, so when we had our date the other night, I felt like I was in a dream and didn't wanna wake up!"

Aleena smiled, "Well, Sonic is quite the ladies' man." she said as Vanilla poured her some more tea.

"Oh, he was so romantic! He told me, "Every time you get angry, I always think you're so cute. Every time you swing that little hammer of yours, my heart beats a million times a minute. The last name Rose suits you well, Amy, because like a rose, you bloom with infinite beauty." I was crying as he told me that." Amy said, fixing to cry just remembering it.

Aleena smiled widely, "I'm so proud of him, and I'm happy for you, Amy. You and Sonic really go well together." she said.

"Thank you, Queen Aleena." Amy said.

"In fact, I wouldn't mind you two getting married. You're quite a keeper for him." Aleena said, making Amy blush furiously.

"Your Highness!" she said before she started stuttering. Aleena giggled before she started laughing, with Amy soon joining her. Vanilla then started laughing. The other kids then came over.

"What's so funny, you guys?" Sonic asked.

"Aleena just suggested you and Amy get married in the future." Vanilla answered, making Sonic blush furiously as everyone else went, "Awww."

"Moooom!" Sonic said in embarrassment as everyone laughed.
