Whoever this Matt person is, they get their wish this time.

Silver had been walking below the castle walls for an hour now, working up the courage to go see Blaze. Seeing Blaze was only half the battle, however. He had saved the world and competed in the Olympic winter games. Therefore, he had thousands of fangirls roaming the castle's interior, each that would die just for a glimpse of Silver. So he had been building up his courage to go see the princess. With a great charge, he rushed through the gates, past the guards who barely had time to salute. He began teleport dashing, past the girls who didn't even see him coming. As he got further into the castle, he heard a noise coming from the center of the royal court.

"AHHH!" Blaze's cry rang throughout the halls. Silver dashed in a blue wave of energy, and burst through the doors, with a battle cry of "PRINCESS!" hanging on his tongue. He stopped in the middle of the court. Seven cats were fighting each other, and the princess was at the top of the court, in her royal spot beside the king.

"AHHHAHAHA!" She laughed. Silver stared at the thousands of faces looking at him from the stands. He blushed, and Blaze stopped laughing at whatever joke she had heard to see what all the people had stopped cheering for. There, in the battlefield, stood Silver, blushing madly next to seven cats, all of whom had stopped fighting to stare at the hedgehog. She thought quickly and declared:

"Instead of fighting each other, the cat who defeats Silver will be the one who is declared the new champ!" Her powerful voice echoed off of the walls, and every anthro in the room cocked their ears as if they were in disbelief.

"WHAT?" Silver yelled.

"Works for us." Said the young cats, oblivious to Silver's rep.

"SILVERRR!" Screeched the fangirls in the stands.

The young cats charged, each with weapons suited to their build. One was wielding a massive axe, another wielded a ball-and-chain, the third sprung forth with a flourish of a sword, the fourth and largest came at him with a mace, the fifth powerfully flung a boomerang, the sixth jumped in the air wielding two tonfas (like holding a sword from the cross guard), and the smallest came with a flying guillotine (it's a big ninja star). As the rest readied their weapons, the young one (#7) attempted to pick his weapon up.

Silver slowed the boomerang's approach with his armguard, but the boomerang still spun. Sparks flew as the metal wrist apparatus leaned against the yielding boomerang, before Silver shot his arm out, shooting the boomerang backwards as it spun. It caught the sword from the cat, before nailing its owner in the face. The sword fell to the ground, effectively pinning its owner to the ground.

The cats gasped, but the large one still thundered towards him. Silver dropped to the ground on one hand in a slow motion, before he spun his body vertically, catching the cat a hefty kick in the mouth. He finished the motion with a backflip, landing on the ground.

As the crowd gasped, the ball and chain landed behind him, and before he could turn around, the ball shot backwards, pulling his legs from under him. He fell, and the tonfa were in front of his face. He reacted by curling into a ball and pushing off of the ground, smashing into cat #6's chest.

The tonfa fell to the ground, and he kicked them into the ball and chain as its owner pulled it back, severing the chain and catapulting the ball into the owner's face. The ball continued traveling, until the axe put the Womac on it. The ball returned to Silver, and this time, instead of blocking it, he jumped onto it, and pushed off. The ball was forced into the ground, and Silver exercised his awesomeness to leap over the battlefield and somersault onto the axe, before spinning around the haft. The cat holding said axe dropped it, and it landed straight up, burying itself into the ground.

Silver continued spinning, kicking the cat several times in the face, before jumping off and dusting his hands. He turned to Blaze, before a whirring sound alerted him. He turned to see the guillotine flying towards him. He ducked, and the guillotine clipped his top crest. The child gasped to see Silver's cat like reflexes, thinking only he had them. The child then fled.

Silver looked up triumphantly, and the crowd cheered. Amidst the cheers, Blaze jumped down from the balcony, using her fire power to glide over to Silver.

"Silver! What're you doing here?"

"Well, I was looking for you… Th-then I heard you scream… And I santed to way… I mean… I wanted to say…" Silver stuttered.

"Yeah?" Blaze said.

"Happy anniversary." Silver said, pulling out a box from his fur. Blaze's eyes lit up, and she smiled.

"It's been 10 years since we met, hasn't it?"

"You mean you forgot?"

"Nope. I've got a present for you here."

"Where? I don't see it." Silver naively looked around.

"It's right here." Silver turned back around to see Blaze lean in.

xXx

As a blossom of fire embraced the duo, the King looked on.

"It seems Blaze has made a new friend." He said with a great beaming smile. He then looked sadly up towards the center of the dome, where- at an angle only he could see- a large picture of the late Queen hung with a great amount of mistletoe next to it.

"Merry Christmas, honey."
