Hello everyone, hope you all are liking the story so far. Last chapter got a little angsty, so let's try to brighten things up.

Mina and Tails had finally arrived at the Castle Acorn and proceeded through.
As they walked through the corridors they were still bickering over Tails going to the wedding.
"Mina for the last time, I'm just not sure." Tails says, with annoyance.
"But it'll be good for you to get back out there, you might even meet someone." Mina says, nudging him with her elbow.
Tails looks down, hiding his embarrassment.
The two enter the royal bedroom to see Sally.
Sally turns in shock, not expecting them.
"Tails, Mina, this is surprise, what are you two doing here?" Sally asks.
Mina places her arms around Tails' shoulder, pulling him closer.
"Tails and I just wanted to swing by and tell you that Tails accepts your wedding invitation." Mina says.
Tails tries to argue but Mina stands on his foot to keep him quiet.
"That's fantastic!" Sally shouts, in excitement.
"We'll have everyone back together for the ceremony, so who's your date?" Sally asks.
"I'm just going alone." Tails says, with a sigh.
"I'm sorry." Sally apologized, realizing she had struck a nerve.
"It's alright, I don't mind, Mina just insists I go." Tails says, teasing her.
Mina sends a glare but her expression softens when she thinks about the situation.
"I wore him down." She thinks, triumphantly.
"Well thank you Mina, I haven't seen this boy in so long, he needs to get out." Sally says, sounding stern.
"Wow, you sound like a parent right now, but you are getting married so next comes the baby in the baby carriage." Tails teases her.
"So immature." Sally says, blushing.
"Yeah, I know, but I grew up with Sonic so what do you expect?" Tails says, chuckling.
Sally and Mina start laughing uncontrollably.
"Okay you win." Sally says, in between laughs.
"Hey, I'm not that bad." A familiar voice shouts from out of nowhere.
They all turn and sure enough they see Sonic standing there.
"Hey Mina, long time no see." Sonic says, walking over to give her a hug.
"Yeah, too long." Mina says, returning the hug.
"So I take it you're both coming to the wedding." Sonic says.
"Yeah, Mina talked me into it." Tails says.
"She must be more convincing than I am, nice work Mina." Sonic compliments her, giving her a high five.
"No problem." Mina says, with a smile.
"So who's the lucky girl?" Sonic asks Tails, patting him on the shoulder.
"No-" Tails starts but is interrupted by Mina.
"Tails, don't spoil the surprise." Mina blurts out.
Tails looks at her with a confused expression.
"Surprise?" Sonic asks.
"Yeah, Tails' date, it's a surprise." Mina says.
"Oh a mystery girl, alright I'll play along, can't wait to meet her." Sonic says, leading Sally and himself out of the room to talk.
"Mina, why did you do that?" Tails whispers, in a hectic manner.
"Now he's going to expect me to have a date." Tails says.
"I'm sorry, it's just that you sounded so disappointed when you told Sally and I know you look up to Sonic, I just didn't want you to feel worse, besides we both know he would've teased you about it or would've given you pointers." She explains.
Tails smiles, knowing she was right.
"Thank you, but still what am I gonna do?" Tails worries.
"Easy, I'll help you find a date." Mina offers.
"Mina, the wedding is only two weeks away, how am I going to find someone to go?" Tails asks.
"We'll find someone, it'll be easy, every girl knows who you are, plus you're cute and sweet." Mina says, teasing him, pinching his cheek.
Tails can only blush as he tries to get the words out.
"A-Alright Mina." Tails says.
"Great, we'll start tomorrow, let's get back to my house to drop this stuff off, then tomorrow we're gonna find you your soulmate." Mina promises him.
Tails nods his head in agreement and the two head out.
Meanwhile…
"Hey babe, what's the news?" The male voice asks.
"The wedding is in two weeks, it's gonna be held at the castle and almost everyone in the kingdom is either invited or going to witness outside." The female voice explains.
"Perfect, is it ready?" The man asks.
"Yeah, he's back up and running at full power." The woman tells him.
The man smirks and walks over to the chamber to examine their work.
Suddenly a metal hand breaks the the capsule, clawing its way out.
