Chapter 2: New friend
He eyed her from the top of the castle's large window. He hid behind the curtains just watching her every move. The pink hedgehog was with her mother out in the large garden the castle had, watering the many roses and plants the had. There was a small lake outside and a small river or creek that went around the large garden. There were a lot of butterflies, dragonflies and many other creatures that surrounded the place. The pink hedgehog watered a few Red roses and blue periwinkles nearby the small lake.
It was the afternoon and Sonic had already plan to go meet the girl. He was curious about her and so wanted some questions answered. Maybe they could end up being very good friends. Sonic saw her mother walk off into the garden leaving her daughter all alone. "Perfect," he told himself and quickly dashed off.
The little hedgehog placed her water bucket down and looked up at the castle seeing the curtains move by the window. She narrowed her eyes in confusion but ignored it looking back at the plants. She smiled at them with love and care. She loved plants so much; Flowers, grasses, anything that was a green living thing growing out of the ground. She smiled down at them all.
Suddenly she felt the wind pick up so she turned around and saw the blue prince in front of her. She flinched at his appearance. "S-sonic," she stuttered.
The young prince's smile widened. "Hey," he greeted her raising his hand for a spit moment before dropping it.
"Hi," She muttered.
Sonic walked closer to her. "Mm," He took one hand behind his back and pulled it back. He held a small box that was made out of cardboard. It was covered in many decorations and colors. "I wanted to give you this." Sonic said handing the box to her.
She grabbed it and looked up at him. He nodded in approval and she opened it. If her eyes were lying to her, in front of her laid five rounded baked chocolate chip cookies. Her mouth opened wide and she looked up at him. "The cookies," She muttered.
"Yea, I thought you might have wanted them." He said shyly rubbed his neck.
"Thank you," She politely said as she bowed down.
Sonic couldn't help but find this amusing and chuckled. "You don't need to bow down."
Amy quickly stood up straight. "Oh, I'm sorry," she apologized.
"Don't be. It's all okay," He smoothly said winking. "Amelia,"
Amy blushed at his smooth talk but felt uncomfortable. "You must have heard my name." she stated. He nodded and looked deep into her jade eyes. "It's pretty too," he complemented. Amy shyly smiled feeling her cheeks become hot. "Thank you but…" She looked away from him and down at her watering bucket. She decided bended down to pick it up from the ground. "I don't really like my name, so my family calls me Amy instead." She explained sweetly.
"Wow, that's still a pretty name you got," he said smoothly. Amy chuckled lightly.
.:XxX:.
The queen was walking around the halls elegantly, a very calm pace and looking around the hallway. She was just strolling around when she happened to pass the large window that showed the whole garden outside. The corner of her eye spotted a blue and pink figure outside. She turned her head and saw her son and Ms. Rose's daughter, Amy. She blinked twice and stopped walking. She saw Sonic raise his eyebrow and slyly stare at her his mouth moving to let out words. Amy only covered her mouth and laughed. Interested, she walked towards the window and looked down at them.
.:XxX:.
"Why haven't I seen you around before?" Sonic asked.
Amy, who was watering the plants, didn't look at him. She only replied, "I use to live with my grandmother but she died just a few days ago and I came to live with my mother." She explained sadly.
"Hey," Sonic said placing a hand on her shoulder. "But I'm okay. I mean people come people go, right?" She sadly said meeting his eyes. Sonic saw her eyes beginning to shine in the sun. To avoiding her tears he had to look up at the sky and exhaled. "Nobody stays forever." She added.
Sonic smiled. "Your right," he said. Amy stared at him, waiting for him to say more. "But that's why you've got to go through it all the way and enjoy it while you can." He told her.
Amy's frown faded slowly into a wry smile. "When they leave, you'll still have them with you," Sonic looked at her and lifted his hand pointing it at her chest. "Right here," he said.
Amy looked down at his hand then back at him. "Yea, your right too,"
A loud voice interrupted them both. "Sonic!"
The two winced at the male's angry voice. "My dad," Sonic nervously said with a small chuckle.
"Sonic where are you?!"
Amy giggled at Sonic. "You should be heading off if you don't want to get in trouble." She warned him. He chuckled nervously while grinning.
"SONIC!" The king's voice yelled louder.
"So, I guess I'll see you around?" He questioned. "Sure," she agreed.
Sonic grinned at her then sped off leaving a blue streak behind him. 'Wow he's fast,' she thought. She smiled sweetly at the thought and turned back around to water more plants.
Hours pass and now it was the most important time of the day for the royal family.
"To be a King, you must be noble and tough," The King Jules announced to his son who dragged behind. The queen walked near her husband's side and Sonic blankly stared off into space not hearing his father speech.
"You also must be fearless to any jealous enemies. Be aware of that son," The king told him looking straight up at the ceiling. "That made me very careful with the people I choose as well. You can't trust anyone you meet."
Sonic hated lectures of Royal life. He didn't even want to be royalty. He wanted to go outside with those kids and play instead.
"Show how great of a leader you are by respecting the people around you, but not just anyone. Again, lesson four-three states to be careful with the people you meet like I just said."
"Kill me now," Sonic muttered bitterly.
"Now, the throne is very valuable son. You may only be only eight, but if I am to pass away, you must then take the throne and the kingdom."
Sonic who wasn't listening saw them passing the kitchen that seemed busy. Maids passing by with plates and bowls, getting things organized for dinner later.
A curtain pink hedgehog caught his attention. Sonic stopped and spotted Amy helping a Black cat.
"Oh how clumsy of me. I'm so sorry sweetie." The cat wordily exclaimed. "I didn't mean to bump into you." She added.
"It's okay, Mrs. Catt," Amy assured her with a smile. Amy picked up the last chili from the floor.
"Oh dear, I'll never get these Chili dogs done in time for Dinner." She whined. Amy placed the chilies she picked up off the floor on the bowl with the rest. "I can help you make whatever you're trying to make Ms." Amy offered.
"Oh sweetie would you really?" She asked to make sure. "Yea, my grandmother taught me how to cook. Just tell me what to do and I'll help." She reassured.
Sonic's could only grin at her.
"Sonic?"
Sonic turned around and saw his father and mother looking at him. "Please keep up Sonic. I have much to teach you." His father said. Sonic frowned and looked back at Amy. Her eyes were gleaming right at his. She send him a small shy smile before walking over to Mrs. Catt.
"Sonic Hurry!" angrily ordered his dad.
.:XxX:.
The sun went down and dark filled in the sky. The king and his small family were sitting down at the dinner table. Tonight's special, Chili dogs and salads.
Sonic grabbed five chili dogs off the tray and placed them in his plate. King Jules was eating salad with his wife and Sonic ate chili dogs. It was times like this where he can enjoy something with his family and not get bored for one second.
Sonic bite the chili dog and tasted its favor, but his face froze and his eyes widened.
King Jules blinked at his son's reaction. "What's wrong son?" questioned the king.
"It-it-its..."Sonic stammered.
"Does it taste bad?" Queen Aleena asked.
Sonic shook his head. "It's not my Chili dog," he said
The king and queen looked questionable at their son who chewed his food. "There better!" Sonic exclaimed. The king blankly looked at him.
.:XxX:.
Mrs. Catt and Ms. Rose talked near the dining room. Mrs. Rose was a bit embarrassed, again of her daughter being a "Bother".
"Oh, but was of no bother. Helpful could be the word you're looking for maybe." corrected Mrs. Catt. Ms. Rose bit her lip and crossed her arms. "She was of good help to me today." added on Mrs. Catt.
"See, mommy." Amy said softly.
Ms. Rose sighed and closed her eyes. "I'm sorry Amy but you know how much I worry about you." She told her. "Of course mommy," Amy said smiling but then a mother voice interrupted them.
A Maid came in aside the doorway, panting. "T-the King…w-wants to see you,"
Mrs. Catt turned to Ms. Rose and then both turned to Amy who innocently looked back. "What's wrong?"
.:XxX:.
Mrs. Catt, Ms. Rose and Amy walked into the dining room where the royal highness was.
They walked to the side of the table. Ms. Rose kept Amy close. When Sonic saw her he saw she wasn't the happy little girl he met earlier. She looked nervously worried. Amy's eyes shifted to a grinning hedgehog. She didn't know what was going on but by telling her mother's expressions and Sonic's it wasn't going to be an easy one to get out of.
"Who cooked for my son this time?" asked the King.
Mrs. Catt swallowed hard. "Y-you see…It...I..." she stuttered not knowing how to put her words together. She didn't want to get the little one in trouble nor did she want to be either.
"Who was it?" the king asked raising his eyebrow, his voice low yet getting loud. Amy narrowed her eyes and went in front of the black cat.
"I did! I helped Ms. Catt cook because she was having a hard time and I couldn't just leave her like that or those chili bits wouldn't even be in Sonic's plate. I'm sorry if they didn't come out to good but please don't be angry at her because they're bad, be angry at me-"
The king was in total shock but Sonic began to laugh, interrupting Amy.
"Bad? Amy they were great, no not even, they were delicious." Sonic chuckled. Amy's frown slowly twisted into a straight line. Ms. Rose and Mrs. Catt stood their confused.
"You make the best Chili dogs ever. I love them. Thank you." Sonic told her sweetly.
Blushing, Amy began to play with her dumbs and her voice lowered down a little. "Oh…Your welcome,"
The King turned to Ms. Catt. "I'm proud you made my son happy today." He announced. "I hope you and little rose here keep up the good work."
The king then turned to Ms. Rose. "You should bring your Daughter more often. She'd make some perfect company for the maids here." He whispered to her. Ms. Rose weirdly smiled. "Yes sir,"
Amy walked around the table to Sonic who had mention for her to come. Sonic bend over his chair and whispered into Amy's ear. "I'll meet you outside the garden before you leave ok?" he told her and Amy nodded. "Okay," she whispered back."
Next ones goanna be all about their new friendship. Thought I'd just let you all know. Also excuse my mistakes, please.
Review3 Thank you.
