I sorry I didn't upload last monday. To make up for it I'm uploading today and I'll upload on the 11th

Silver was now inside a tub, he didn't understand at first what was going on but then maids started to walk in and pour warm water all over him.

The hedgehog thought he would turn back into amerhog but when he looked down he still had his legs.

and the warm water. his whole life in the ocean he was use to the cold water but feeling warm water it just felt..Relaxing.

" Oh my" and older mobian walked in, she was a panther her hair tied in a bun " washed up from the sea!" she took out a back scrub and started to scrub Silver head " don't worry little guy you'll be nice and clean" she told him.

Silver felt like everything was going to fast, first he was out of the water then now put back in then this strange brush started rubbing on his head and the concept of clean.

in the ocean the Merfolk never need such things as soap or baths since they were constantly in water all the time, and their sense of smell wasn't that keen so no one ever had to bother with bad odor.

When Silver would visit the surface his sense of smell became clear and the ocean breeze was pleasant.

...

Blaze was in her bed room looking out into the ocean . Tikal was going through her closet.

" Come on Blaze you better get ready" The echidna looked down at a blue dress, then yellow and then red. Tikal notice the cat wasn't paying any attention.

" what are you thinking about?" she asked.

" Oh...I was just wondering about Silver" the cat admitted.

" Well don't , your father wouldn't like it if..."

" Oh no not like that" Blaze said " I keep thinking that maybe he was the one that saved me in the storm"

"Well don't wonder too much" The Echidna pulled out a navy blue dress " Beside you have your future to think about and Prince Elias"

Blaze sighed, her fiance Prince Elias of the Acorn Kingdom, after being saved from the storm Aurea had requested that the Prince come and visit insted of Blaze going to their kingdom, the Acorns are to arrive tomorrow.

" I know," Blaze walked over to the Tikal and took the dress " don't worry I'll be on my best behavior tomorrow, she went behind the folds to change into her dress.

. . . . . .

Silver was now standing dress in a tuxedo, he was tugging against the tight fabric against his body, sure there were the occasion that he would wear a cape and shoulder pads when being present with his father but this was a whole new experience.

Blaze entered the same room he was in and couldn't help but let a giggle escape. He froze realising he wasn't alone, turning his face turned red.

Blaze was in the most elegant dress he had ever seen, the navy blue complemented her purple fur.

Blaze rolled her eyes and approached Silver, she notice his tie was undone so she tied it for him " Maybe you enjoy the opera" she suggested. she realized how close she was to the hedgehog, her gaze met with is bright yellow eyes. The cat was speechless.

" I...Uh..."

The a cough made her break away from him. Big stood watch them.

" It's not what you think Uncle" Blaze said.

" I know princess" Big said " but just be careful your father doesn't see you" he warned. And right on cue the king showed up.

" Shall we get going" he suggested. He walked over to Silver " and you better keep your eyes off of my daughter" he whispered to him.

" Father stop!" Blaze scolded. she pulled Silver away from him " sorry about that" she apologize " come one the carriage is waiting as she lead the hedgehog out of the castle door.

Silver was taking in the sight as they rode in the carriage to the opera house, The hedgehog watched the sun going down, he couldn't wait for the moon to rise up, by the time the sun had completely settled they were already arrived.

Siler had never seen such a building, granted it was the same size as his home in the ocean but the walls look solid, no easy access from above? how were they going to get in?

Silver waited while the towns foke prepared them to enter the building. People of sophisticated status watched as the royal family enter the opera hall.

Silver had never seen so many mobains, women in big puffy dresses, men dress in tuxedos of different color.

Some women started to gossip. Big took notice and approached his niece " Blaze I suggest you give yourself some distance from Silver" he suggested.

The cat notice how close the hedgehog was to her, she turned to him " Silver can you take a step back" she asked " don't worry you can sit next to me once were get our seats" she assured him.

After the hassle Blaze and the king were taken to their own private booth in the auditorium. Silver looked over the balcony, he watched as other people started to get seated. He metanly started to count each seat.

wow...850 seats! that more than the seats in my ocean home... He started to feel bit gloomy I hope mother and father are alright...

Blaze notice the sad look in Silver's face, she was confused, at first he was excited but now he's upset. she wanted to reach out but with her father and uncle keeping their eye on her she couldn't do anything.

I hope the show will change his mood she cross her fingers.

Silver's first night on land isn't going as expected... And Blaze having a reputaion to hold can't reach out to the struggling hedgehog...

What will happen next?

Come back on February 11th!
