Sonadow: Cinderella

Chapter 6: An Invitation

A/N: The video is a cover from Maroon 5: Love Somebody.

Normal POV

Sonic was cleaning as usual. Home alone, he kept singing his mother's variety of lullabies and songs. He learned each and every one, feeling like as if he sung them, it's be like the old days, like his mother was watching him from the windows with a bright smile on her face.

Sonic:

I know your inside

you're feeling so hollow.

And it's a hard pill

for you to swallow.

But if i fall for you,

i'll never recover.

If i fall for you,

i'll never be the same.

I really wanna love somebody!

I really wanna dance the night away!

I know we're only half way there, but

you can take me another way, you can take me another way!

I really wanna touch somebody!

I think about you every single day!

(As he was singing the song, he was thinking about the boy he met seven years ago.)

I know we're only half way there, but

you can take me another way, you can take me another wa-a-a-y...

Sonic sighed as he let a tear fall on his cheek. He continued to work silently. He just wished he could see the boy again. He just wished he could go to the meadow again...

Sonics POV

It's been an hour since i cleaned the garden. Stepmother went to town again, along with Amy and Sally, of course. I was cleaning the windows, going from the top corners to the bottom ones when i heard horses neighing and their hooves stomping on the ground. Strange. It was rare that someone would come and take this path to leave the kingdom since it's so old. Unless, they were coming to our house, which i highly doubt.

But, my doubts quickly vanished once i saw two horses stop right in front of our gate. One horse was black with a yellow two-tailed fox and the other was... no... it couldn't be. Could it? Those shining black and red spikes, those ruby eyes... Quickly, i shoved myself to the wall, away from he window as he looked towards my direction, my breath staggered. I hope he didn't see me. But... Yet i hope he did...

I jumped when i heard a knock on the door and quickly dusted myself, then went to open it.

Normal POV

???: Hello there maiden. My name is Miles 'Tails' Prower.

Sonic:*a little bit angry* I'm not a girl...

Miles:*confused*... Oh my apologies.

Sonic:*calm* Is there anything i can help you with?

Miles:*smile**gives him a letter* This is an invitation to tomorrows ball! The prince is to become king *looks at the black figure* and he needs someone to rule by his side.

Sonic:*looks at the figure*

Shadow:*looks at Sonic*

Shadows POV

Speechless is what i was once i saw the boy standing by the doorway. My mouth slightly parted and my eyes went a little wide. Memories came back from the meadow. It couldn't, it can't be him. It'd be too cliche, if you know what i mean. I continued on looking in the same direction, even when the door was closed, when i was snapped back to attention by Miles.

Miles: Are you alright? You look mesmerized by something.

Shadow: I'm fine, Miles.

He just smiled as we took off.

Sonics POV

I let out a tear as i knew that my stepmother won't let me go to the ball... Maybe i could've find the boy i once knew but it was no use...she will never let me go...
