A/N: So if you guys haven't figured it out by now...this is pretty much based off of Sonic and the Black Knight. ':)

This is my first week of high school so ive been INSANELY BUSY! So im really sorry if I cant update as much as over summer. I'll try though. ^-^

Disclaimer: you know the drill...Sonic the Hedgehog doesn't belong to me at all...yup

"I've found my true love, Tails!"

The orange kitsune whipped around in suprise, yelping when Sonic grabbed his hands and spun him around energetically. "Woah! Sonic! Calm down!" Sonic let go and watched with amusement as his friend held his head in his hands, eyeballs spinning out of control.

Finally, he shook his head and focused on the blue hedgehog, chuckling at what he saw. Sonic pulled out his sword and admired it- no, admired his reflection in it. He picked at something in his teeth as he grinned, proudly holding his head up high.

"So, whaddya think of 'Sir Sonic'? Or, wait, 'Sir Knight Sonic'?"

Tails crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, cocking his head slightly. "Where did you go after the you went to the castle yesterday, anyway? And what are you going on about knights?"

"I don't know, I just...slept until morning." He shrugged, shealthing the blade and smirking. "Life is good, buddy. Life...is...good."

Still a bit confused, Tails sat down and prepared to hear a lecture of a story. "And what does that mean?"

Sonic straightened, throwing his arms in the air. "The Princess, is what that means! She's perfect, Tails! Just perfect!"

He sighed, almost falling over before catching himself. "She's beautiful...and- and kind-hearted! And..." Tails reached a hand out and steadied him, causiously standing and rolling his eyes.

"Heh, I get it, Sonic." He gently pushed him onto a stool, persuading him to sit down and finished his story. Sonic grinned, dreamily gazing off into space. "And she smells pretty..."

"She smells pretty?" Tails mimicked, laughing when Sonic's eyes shot open and his face went red. He rubbed the back of his neck, a sweatdrop falling down the side of his face in embarrassment.

Anxious to change the subject, Sonic ahemed loudly. "Anyway, we came up with the idea that it was too dangerous for me to keep sneaking into the castle to see her, so I'm gonna become a knight! You know, so it'll be easier for us to meet."

Tails nodded, understanding. "That sounds pretty good to me." He glanced at his shoes, then bringing his eyes back to Sonic to find he had drifted off into a daydream again.

He smirked and whispered in a high, girly voice. "Oh, Sonic. You're so brave and handsome!" Almost instantly, Sonic's grin spread wider and he sighed absentmindedly.

"Amy...you're embarrassing me..." Tails laughed out loud, snapping him out of his dream world. Sonic looked to the ground, ears drooping slightly. "Alright! Let's leave Sonic alone now!"

Tails wiped his eye and settled down, gasping for air by the end of his laugh fest. "Sorry, I'm done."

"Good." He stuck his lip out, pouting like a child.

Suddenly, his ears perked up and his eyes grew wider. "He said I'd see him today, but when?" He sped over to the window and peeked out, spotting Amy herself strolling around town with her lady's maid...Cream, was it?

He grabbed Tails' arm and ran out of the building, dragging his friend along with him.

"Amy!" She glanced behind her, her eyes lighting up when she saw him. "Sonic!" They ran at each other, arms spread wide, and embraced each other. Amy moved to kiss him, but he backed away slightly, looking around cautiously. "People will find out..."

Her eyes fell to the ground sadly. "Oh...you're right." Behind Sonic, Tails shifted his weight from side to side awkwardly, Cream doing the same behind the Princess.

"Oh yeah. Amy, this is my friend Tails. Tails, Princess Amy." He bowed his head slowly, smiling warmly at her. "It's an honor, Princess." Amy giggled, returning the bow. "Aren't you sweet? It's nice to meet you, too. This is my lady's maid and best friend: Cream."

Amy motioned her hand toward the shorter rabbit, and she finally looked up from the ground and met Tails' eyes. His mouth fell open at the full sight of her, his face going red when she smiled at him. "...Hi."

She waved shyly at him, unintentionally reaching and fixing her hair. "...hello." Tails blushed wildly, not blinking once. "You're...wow...I mean-" He coughed.

"...Really pretty."

Sonic and Amy didn't realize the instant connection between their two friends, they were too lost in each other's eyes. "Hey, She's taken." Sonic laughed.

Never breaking eye contact with her, Tails' grin widened. "I wasn't talking about the Princess..." Sonic's gaze instantly shifted to beside him, smirking at the sight.

He took Amy's hand and led her away from the business of the village, Tails and Cream following close behind. "Come on, let's get out of sight." Once inside, Tails closed the door and lit a candle. The fox turned around to see his friend already lip-locked with the Princess.

"Ahem...!" They broke apart, suddenly aware of their younger company. "Oh...uhh." Sonic chuckled, stepping away from Amy and settling for keeping his arm around her.

Cream shook her head before returning her attention to the young blacksmith. "So, Tails. Did Mr. Sonic tell you about his and Amy's plan?" He nodded, strolling over to the same chest he had been keeping Sonic's sword in.

"Yeah, he did. Which reminds me, Sonic. I've been working on something that might come in handy with that." He reached in the chest and pulled out half-a-set of unfinished golden armor. It shined in the candle light, giving it a magical glow.

Sonic's eyes opened wider, taking the armor from him and admiring it. "Oh, man. You sure you want me to have it?" He closed his eyes and smiled. "Absolutely. You're gonna need it."

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Amy set her hand on his shoulder, tilting her head at him. "Sonic, he's right. Becoming a knight is really hard work." Sonic showed her his well-known cocky smile, crossing his arms across his chest and shrugging.

"Don't worry, Amy. It'll be easy!"

...The next day...

"Oof!" Sonic looked up from his lying position on the dirt, grabbing his sword again and pushing himself off the ground to face the three knights. "So much for 'fast learner', huh?"

Silver raised an eyebrow, lifting his visor to reveal his confused expression. The blue hedgehog took a deep breath, widening his stance and preparing to charge him.

"Halt." Shadow strolled over to him, kicking his feet apart more and punching his shoulder. "Ow! What was that for?" He narrowed his eyes at the apprentice knight, smirking when he untensed his shoulders from the previous action. "Relax your body before striking, Knave!"

"Quit calling me that!"

"Stay focused on your opponent." Shadow stepped aside and nodded to Silver, who responded by unshealthing his sword and lungind at Sonic.

Still unsure with this new weapon, Sonic held his sword in both hands and hid behind it; moving it right to left in the hope of blocking his attacks.

Amazingly, all of his slashes were successfully stopped. Silver's eyes widened in astonishment as he took a step back. "You're not even trying." Sonic shrugged, smiling cautiously. "It's working, isn't it?"

Silver sighed in dissappointment before rushing at him again, this time swining his sword to the right and knocking Sonic's weapon right out of his hands. He watched as his sword skidded across the grass, smacking his hand on his forehead in embarrassment.

"Uhh..." He dared to glance up at his teachers, quickly returning his eyes to the ground when he saw their faces. "I'll just go get my sword..."

Shadow shook his head, crossing his arms and shealthing his sword. "Hopeless." Knuckles and Silver looked at each other, agreeing silently and walking over to their student.

"Hey." Sonic reluctantly looked up, catching their gaze of sympathy. "Yeah?" He couldn't tell, but his chest was puffed out slightly and his cheeks were blazing red; they two knights could tell he was getting frustrated.

"Don't worry. You'll get it." The blue hedgehog sighed again, standing up and slumping his shoulders. "When?" In response to his question, Knuckles and Silver pulled out their weapons, shifting their stance slowly to show Sonic every move.

Carefully, they moved to face each other, clashing their swords together and creating a loud clank. "You have to feel the sword as an extention of your arm, using your strength to your advantage."

They seperated swords and Silver jumped at Knuckles, feeling a slight jolt go through his body when his blow was blocked abruptly. Knuckles glanced at Sonic, who was staring at them in awe. "You can tell which way your opponent will strike with the position of their sword in their hand. For instance..."

He nodded his head and Silver showed Sonic how he held the weapon, adjusting his sword in his hand ever so slightly. "Now, which way do you think I will slash?"

Sonic readied his sword, thinking quickly and thrusting his right arm out just as Silver struck. His eyes opened wide when he saw that he had blocked Silver's blow in the exact same way Knuckles had a moment ago.

He looked up at them hopefully, pleased to see them grin back at him. "You're getting it."

"Sonic!"

Amy ran towards him, catching him by suprise when she kissed him right on the lips. She pulled away from him almost immediately, smiling at him and licking her lips; teasing him. "So how's the knight training going?"

"Oh, it's going." Sonic smiled at Knuckles and Silver, nodding his head thankfully. "Thanks again, guys. For helpin' me out." They bobbed their head down once together, hiding their faces behind their visors and walking over to Shadow.

Sonic and Amy looked at each other, locking their hands and resting their foreheads together. "Are you sure you're okay with doing this for me?" He chuckled, smiling shyly. "Aw, Amy. I'd do anything for you."

She blushed wildly.

"Knave! Save the kisses for later!" Sonic rolled his eyes, calling back behind him. "You won't be calling me that for long!" Amy smiled before planting a quick kiss on his cheek, gently pushing him away. "You'd better get back to work then..."

He took a deep breath, squeezing her hand once more before running over to the three knights.

Uhh...sorry if this chapter seems a bit rushed. I really just wanted to get it up. I have big plans for next chapter, with more cute TailsXCream involved. :3 Sorry if this took a while, I'll start working on next chapter right away!
