Black, Red and Pink
Chapter 29: 06: Silver
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe next morning, one of the castle maids heard the sound of loud knocking coming from the castle entrance as she was dusting off a few antiques that had belonged to the late members of the royal family. Walking over and opening the door slightly, she saw Omega and Sally standing there. "Can I help you?"
Sally nodded and greeted the maid with a kind smile. "Yes, we're just here to pick up Pinkie Pie and would like to talk to Princess Elise please."
"Oh, are you members of Pinkie's family?" The maid asked.
"Yes, we are, may we come in?"
"Certainly, and I'm sure the Princess would like to talk to you about last nights events anyway, so do come in." The maid smiled as she opened the door for the two.
"Thank you very much." Sally and Omega stepped inside, allowing the maid to close the door before walking off to inform Elise of their arrival.
"You know, I always wonder how you can be so polite to people you've never met before." Omega commented as he had watched Sally's interactions so far, analysing her behaviour as to make sure she'd be a good second mother for Pinkie. He knew she could never replace Rouge in Pinkies eyes, but at the same time he knew Pinkie would most likely take her on as a mother figure as well. So, he began to watch and learn. He had modified his primary directive to protect and watch over Pinkie, and that's what he'd do.
"Well, I was a princess, remember? Even during the days of the Freedom Fighters I still had to attend Royal summits whenever I could, and those required proper etiquette." Sally explained.
"And yet you still fall under the stereotype of princess that just wants to have fun."
Sally playfully punched Omega in the arm, only to instantly regret it and shake her sore hand while the robot laughed at her misfortune. "And you still fall under the stereotype of robot that enjoys the misery of organics." She countered with a confident smirk.
"I was built by Eggman, I enjoy the pain of everyone but myself...and Pinkie."
Sally tried to think of some way to make a sarcastic or smug comment, but any she could think of would insult his connection to the pink pony that is mentioned in nearly every paragraph. "Fair enough."
Meanehile
Elise opened her eyes to see Pinkie curled up and sleeping soundly beside her. Smiling, the princess gently rubbed one of the filly's ears, earning a happy sigh from her as she started to stir. She got into her hooves and streched like a cat before opening her eyes and yawning. The two greeted each other with a good morning before Elise threw her legs over the side of the bed and got to her feet, followed by Pinkie who began messing with her mane to get it to its natural poofiness.
Pinkie had begun to help get Elise prepared for the day by brushing her hair, applying enough makeup to let her shine but not too much to hide her natural beauty (a skill she had learned from Rouge of course), placed the white feathers in her hair and helped pick out a nice dress, well, one that didn't show as much leg as the one she had wore the previous night. She now wore an elegant white dress that reached just down near her ankles, but had enough room to let her move without much restriction, a sun pendant holding its single strap on her right shoulder. "How do I look?" She asked as she posed playfully.
Pinkie giggled and smiled. "You look more like a princess now than you ever did before darling." She spoke with a slight British accent as her main straightened with bouncy curls at the ends.
Elise chuckled and stepped towards the door. "Come on, let's get some breakfast then we can find your family and discuss what's going on." As she was about to turn the doorknob she heard knocking from the other side.
"Princess Elise? Are you awake?" The maid asked.
"I am, what is it?"
"There is a robot and Mobian looking for Pinkie Pie, I believe that the Mobian is the former Princess Sally Acorn your highness." The maid answered as she stepped away from the door slightly.
"Ok, thank you, please tell them I will be down in a minute." With that, the maid walked off and Elise turned to Pinkie who was reaching into her mane, trying to grab something. "Well, I gues we won't need to find your family then. Come one, we shouldn't keep them waiting."
Meanwhile, again
"Damn, how hard is it to find one hedgehog in this town?" The young Silver the Hedgehog asked to no one as he walked through the streets of the city. "I know he's around here somewhere." As he walked, his hand glowed with a light blue aura and an orange was coated in the same aura as it floated over to him. Taking a bite out of the fruit he stopped and savoured the taste. "So, this is what fresh fruit tastes like..."
After a moment of standing still, he finished the fruit and continued on his way.
"Maybe if I float up to the rooftops I can get a better viewpoint. No, that would just attract too much attention." As he said this, he spotted a little girl standing on a roof with nobody paying attention to her. "I guess not...shouldn't someone get her down from there though? She could get hurt."
Suddenly, the girl lost her footing and slipped, falling towards the ground, screaming in panic.
"I gotcha!" Silvers hands glowed as he used his power to slow her decent and let her safely land on her feet. "Are you ok? How'd you even get up there in the first place?" He asked as he checked her for injuries.
"Y-Yeah, I'm ok and...I don't know. One second I was standing here, the next I was up there." The girl explained as she tried to calm herself down.
"Really?" Silver scratched his chin in thought. "Something does seem odd about this place. Anyway, you go find your parents and take it easy."
"Ok...thank you mister." The girl waved goodbye and ran off in search of her parents.
Silver watched her run and sighed. "Well, I was able to help someone at least."
"Hey!" Silver turned around to see Tails running up to him. "Hey, I saw what you just did there, nice job saving that girl." The two tailed fox praised, lifting his sunglasses up to his forehead.
"Oh...uh...thanks?"
Tails looked him over with a strange look. "How'd you do that?"
"What?"
"The thing you did with that aura, it was like telekinesis or something."
Silver looked to his hands and coated then in his aura. "Oh, this is just my psychokinesis. I don't know exactly how I use it, I was just born with this power, I was told it's something to do with my genes."
"Interesting. I knew this kind of power existed, but I've never seen someone use it before." Tails shook his head and smiled. "Oh, where are my manners, I'm Tails, and you are?" He greeted while extending his hand.
"Silver, Silver the Hedgehog." Silver answered as he shook his hand.
"Silver huh? Neat name. Anyway, I've got to go find someone, hopefully I'll see you later, I'd really like to study your abilities."
Silver nodded and they both walked away from each other. "Oh hey wait a second!" Silver called out, earning Tails' attention. "Have you seen a black hedgehog around here?!"
"Sorry, I haven't, if I do I'll let you know!" With that, Tails ran off, leaving Silver in no better place than he was before the encounter.
He sighed and continued on. "I bet Blaze is having better luck than me..."

There, Silver is fully introduced and is on the move. I hope I'm doing a better job at writing Elise than SEGA did in the game. Anyway, if you see any errors feel free to point them out in the comments, helps a bunch, thank you.
Also, here's a picture of Silver if you are unfamiliar
