Chapter Two:

All Locked Up

"And this is the King and Queen's room," I told Sir Sonic, as we entered my mother and father's bedroom. I always called my parents the King and Queen because they would rather be called that as apposed to mother and father. I sat down on the foot of their king sized bed, which was the comfiest thing I had ever been on. I almost wanted to check and see if their mattress was made out of clouds.

"Do we have the okay to be in here?" he asked, staying out in the hallway, making sure he wouldn't get in trouble.

"You're with me. If anything goes wrong I will take blame, I promise." I looked over at the clock that was hanging delicately on the red velvet walls. My eyes widened as I saw what time it was. "However we might want to scurry along now," I said, quickly getting off the bed.

"Why the sudden rush?" he asked with amusement in his voice.

"Well it happens to be five to twelve," I said, acting nonchalant.

Sir Sonic stared at me, at a loss of words. He quickly turned around and began speed-walking back to the main part of the castle. "Where are you going?" I called after him, but he kept walking.

Ignoring the Princess? Well, let's see how that works out for you, shall we? I screamed, as loud as I could. "Help!" I shouted.

Within seconds five guards were at my side asking what was wrong. "Him!" I pointed to Sir Sonic, who was standing in the middle of the hallway, staring at me. "He stole my diary!"

"I don't see him with any diary," one guard said.

I turned my head and looked at him. "Are you calling my a liar?" I looked straight ahead, "I'm sure my father would be rather pleased to hear that. What's his number one rule? Oh yes, perfection." I looked at him again. "I don't see you working to get this case to be solved to perfection. Maybe he had better dispose of you," I started walking towards the main area, "just wait till he hears about this!"

"W-wait, Princess Amelia, it was just a little misunderstanding, we know he has your diary!" The guard came chasing after me.

"I do not!" Sir Sonic yelled in his defense.

"I will not have such lies told in my presence! I want this man arrested. Take him to the jail in the basement." I walked over to the guards. "And don't so as much as one word to him," I said, making myself clear. After all the guards nodded their heads, I skipped happily away to my tea time with Midna.

Midna was so sweet. She was really the only person I talked to. She was normal. She didn't have all of these high expectations or anything silly, or preposterous.

I walked in the usual room Midna and I had our tea. As expected, the round wooden table was set with a white tablecloth, two teacups on little plates with a teacup in the middle, with milk and sugar put off to the side. I smiled as I smelled the tea. I sat down on the little wooden circular chair.

My parents wanted this room to be all classy and nice like the rest of the castle, but Midna wasn't used to boiling water for tea in some high-tech kitchen stove, so her and I decided to keep it simple with a little kettle, and wooden furniture. It was nice, very peaceful. There were several photos of trees, lakes, fields and animals hung around the room, which was also nice. Midna often sprayed this beautiful scent that she says is a forest.

I've never really been outside of the castle, so I've never had any experience with nature; I haven't even smelled a tree. It sounded sort of weird wanting to smell a tree, in my place, it was normal.

Midna walked in from the hallway, and paused, looking at me.

"Good afternoon, Midna," I greeted her.

She laughed, walking over to sit down. "I hear you arrested someone today?"

"Well... he ignored me. He was more concerned about saving his tail than sticking with me so he wouldn't get in trouble. So, later I'm gonna go talk to him. It's not a big deal, I'll let him out once I get out of here."

Midna laughed again, "how many more boys are you going to arrest because they simply ignored you?"

I shrugged, "as many as it takes." Those boys needed to know that I was the Princess and they can't just ignore me when they please.

"Why don't you go get this boy now? Bring him back here, I'd like to meet him," she smiled.

"Are you sure?"

"Go on, hunny."

"Thank you, Minda!" I gave her a quick hug and walked out, heading to the jail in the basement.

"Well, hello there Sir Sonic, what a coincidence seeing you here! How's your day been?"

He stood up, getting off of that old, dirty wooden bench in the seller. "Princess Amelia. Why am I arrested? Need I say you are pretty bold to lie while saying you will not tolerate lying in your presence."

"Have you learned your lesson?" I asked, completely ignoring what he has just said. "You're never going to ignore me again, yes?" I cocked my head to the side, smiling.

"Princess Amelia! I never meant to ignore you, I was just worried. Look, yes, I'm terribly sorry, my apologies. I won't ignore you again."

I put my hand in through the bard and stuck my pinky out, "pinky promise?"

Sir Sonic sighed, rolling his eyes. "Princess Amelia, I told you I wouldn't ignore you. Take my word on that, I'm going to do something so chi-"

"Alright," I retracted my hand, "if you don't want out." I looked at my finger nails, biting the nail on my index finger, which had the longest nail.

I heard Sir Sonic sigh. "Fine," he said. I turned around and shook his pinky through the bars.

"I'll be back with the keys," I said, turning around.

"No you won't, young lady," my father turned the corner, standing in front of me. I swallowed, nervous. "You have arrested too many young men, just to let them out. This isn't going to happen anymore."

"I know, I'm sorry, I won't do it anymore, I just-"

"I'm not letting this one go."
