I had a nice, detailed, thought out notes for the beginning of this chapter.

Then my computer crashed and instead you got these.

Chapter Five - Not for long

Blaze stood outside a set of decorated doors.

"Hurry up" she breathed to herself.

In her anxiety Blaze turned from the door and sighed deeply.

"Azure will keep me waiting all day until he is presentable and Mirage has left already meaning I can't even fume..." Blaze thought while rolling a fireball in her paws.

Soon the fireball was being tossed high in the air in an attempt to keep herself from going crazy.

Blaze was contemplating how Azure would like it if his door burned down when a small pink dog emerged.

"Councilman Azure awaits you Queen Blaze" The chambermaid spoke with a light tone and a bow.

"Thank you" Blaze said politely as she entered Azure's office.

A quick glance back at the chambermaid caused her to shut the doors behind Blaze.

"My liege, I am most honored that you seek me out in private" Azure said descending from the ceiling.

His fur was smoothed to a gloss and his namesake eyes pierced the room.

"I am glad that you had time to accommodate me, I trust I am not interrupting your duties?" Blaze was as formal as she could be.

"Once again it is an honor, your grace is welcomed in my dark chambers." Azure said with a small smile.

Blaze looked around for a moment, "rather light in here for a bat" she thought to herself.

"Now, if we may skip the pleasantries" Blaze said turning back to Azure.

"For you my liege, of course, you must be busy" Azure offered his chair to Blaze.

She sat down as Azure walked to a small outcropping in the room.

"If I may?" he asked looking at Blaze.

"As long as we can move on to why I came here" Blaze answered slightly annoyed.

Azure simply flipped backwards and latched on to the outcropping before turning around to face Blaze upside down.

"Why is it you requested to meet with me my liege, I must say it was rather unexpected"

"I am here to request a meeting" Blaze said calmly.

"Excuse me my liege but, what then, would this be?"

"This is simply a small conversation, however the subject to be discussed is not a safe one for inside these walls"

"I assure you my walls are safe, my liege" Azure said with a curious glance around the room.

"Not your walls, the castle's" Blaze said causing Azure to nearly lose his footing.

Before he could say anything Blaze continued.

"I will need you to fly out over the forest, tomorrow, and search for a small clearing near the western edge"

Azure looked curious but remained all business, "How will I know I've reached the clearing?"

"If you fly over without stopping I will have to singe your wings" Blaze said standing up.

"But this is hardly proper" Azure said as Blaze headed for the door.

"I make the rules, Azure, keep in mind, I am the Queen, I rule" Blaze said exiting his chambers.

Azure ran a hand through his fur, "Not for long..."

(…)

Silver stood in his small house, just west of the forest.

He lit an oil lamp with some kindling from the fireplace.

"I told Coil we don't need any electric power out here" He mused to himself smiling.

"You don't, but he loves to work on anything" Blaze said entering his home.

"This is hardly the proper place for a queen to be" Silver said without turning around.

"And that is hardly a way to address a queen" Blaze said coldly.

The next moment they were both laughing.

Blaze was trying to not let any fire escape as she laughed and Silver was clutching the wall to support himself.

"Blaze" Silver said turning and knocking over the oil lamp.

The lamp landed with a thud and the fire inside went out.

"Darn" Silver said levitating another piece of kindling from the fireplace.

"Too slow" Blaze said picking up the lamp and igniting it with a snap of her fingers.

"Show off" Silver said jokingly.

"Says the one levitating me closer" Blaze said as she set the lamp on the table as it passed.

"And?" Silver said as he held Blaze in his arms and stopped using his powers.

Blaze didn't respond with words, she just reached up behind him, looped her arms around his neck, and kissed him deeply.

Too soon it seemed, their embrace ended and they stood in silence.

Blaze's tail swished back and forth slowly behind her.

"Silver?" Blaze said rubbing her head against his fluffy underbelly.

"Yes?" Silver said running his hand through her fur.

"Meet me at the clearing tomorrow" Blaze said without looking up.

"Another moonlit meeting?" Silver asked causing Blaze to stop.

"Not exactly..." Blaze said trailing off.

"We have a meeting with Azure there tomorrow" She said feeling Silver stop his hand.

"What? But at the clearing?"

"I needed some place outside the castle that nobody knew about..." Blaze said not liking her own explanation.

"But I thought... that the clearing..." Silver trailed off.

Blaze looked up into his eyes before urging him to continue.

"I thought... the clearing would be... a special place... just for... us..."

"I'm sorry... just I didn't know another place that wouldn't of aroused suspicion from the rest of the castle. And we need to convince him to call for a revote and have our side in his favor."

"Why couldn't I just go with you to him?" Silver asked feeling a bit hurt.

"That would have been like storming the castle with Eggman Nega at our heels, we would never have gotten in unseen and kept the contents of the meeting secret."

"We've done it before" Silver said with a small smile.

"Trust me, the servants know, the maids, the cooks, everyone but Gardon and the Council, Mirage told me" Blaze said smiling a little in return.

"Thats not good" Silver said his smile widening deceptively.

"It's not that bad" Blaze said curious as to why he was smiling.

"No it is, they will all be jealous" Silver said with a chuckle.

Blaze pulled Silver into another kiss.

"And you used to be so naive" Blaze whispered as they separated.

"I just wish that others didn't want to keep us apart..." Silver said with a frown.

"They can't, not for long" Blaze said pulling him into another kiss to get his mind of their troubles.

"Not for long" Silver breathed as he returned his full attention to Blaze.

(…)

ok, not the longest chapter, but hey it is another chapter of Plot and Romance.

Now things are fully set in motion and it is only for you to guess where they will stop.

I already know but that would be a spoiler.

Azure seems to have his own plans while Blaze and Silver are still working out the kinks in theirs.

Till next time I guess I should get back to work.
