It was a nice and clear day at Soleanna. The people in town their doing were their normal routine: Walking around town, going shopping, eating at a restaurant, waving to other people as they walk by, or just enjoying the view of the scenery.

Over on a small island, we see a castle. We scan over here at the balcony of the castle, to see a young woman, who looked liked a princess. She had small red hair, she wore a white dress, and she was wearing red heels. This woman's name was Elise, and she is the current princess of Soleanna.

Right now, Elise was staring at the view of the city, watching the people doing their everyday routine. She smiled, seeing the view from the castle. But then, she frowned, why she was frowning could be anyone's guess.

Suddenly, one of her maidens approached her. "Miss Elise, is something troubling you?" She asked.

"Hmm?" Elise turned to her. "I'm sorry, what was it you asked me?" Elise asked.

"I asked if something was troubling you." The maiden answered.

"Oh..." Elise thought about it for a moment. "...No. I'm fine." Elise answered.

"Are you certain?" The maiden asked.

"Yes. I'm sure." Elise nodded her head.

"Very well, then. I'm sorry if bothered you." The maiden bowed politely, as she walked away, leaving the princess alone.

Once she was gone, she turned her attention back towards the view of Soleanna. She was thinking about something. She wasn't really sure what it was, but it looked liked it was something she was trying to remember from before.

"Hmm...why does it suddenly occur to me that I remember him?" Elise wondered, as she closed her eyes, trying to remember something.

Over on the other side of town, we see a familiar hedgehog resting at the docks. He was blue, he wore red and white colored shoes, he was wearing white gloves, and he had his eyes closed while resting his arms behind his head. This was none other than Sonic the Hedgehog.

Right now, Sonic was still snoozing, trying to relax from his recent battle against Dr. Eggman.

"Sonic!" A voice called.

Sonic woke up from his nap and saw a fox with two tails, meaning that this was Sonic's best friend, Tails.

"Hey Tails, what's up?" Sonic greeted his friend.

"I came to find you." Tails answered.

"Why?" Sonic wondered.

"I was thinking if you wanted go and get something to eat." Tails said.

"Where? And what?"

"A burger. Knuckles is waiting for us at the entrance of the restaurant. Come on, I'll race you there!" Tails laughed, as he took off, spinning his two tails around.

"I don't think so!" Sonic laughed, as he dashed beside Tails, racing over to the restaurant.

Not too far away from the docks, we see a restaurant named "Louie's Diner." Which served burgers, fries, hot dogs, pizza, chicken, sodas, everything that you could order.

Standing beside the entrance door, was a red echidna. This echidna had colourful shoes, and he had white gloves, which looked like huge knuckles. This would be the Knuckles the Echidna. He is a friend of Sonic (and sometimes a rival, but nothing too major).

Right now, Knuckles had his arms folded, as he was waiting for Tails and Sonic to show up.

Suddenly, he heard a blur coming. "Finally." Knuckles said, knowing that they were finally showing themselves.

And at that moment, Sonic raced in front of Knuckles, with Tails who came by a few short feet away.

"I beat you, Tails." Sonic smirked.

"I was close, though." Tails shrugged.

Sonic turned his head at Knuckles. "What's up, Knuckles?"

"I was just waiting for you to show up." Knuckles answered, with his arms folded.

"Well, now that I have shown up, what do you say we go inside and grab a bite, shall we?" Sonic suggested.

"I agree. I'm so hungry, I could eat a ton of Eggman's machines!" Tails joked.

"Save that for later, buddy." Sonic laughed a bit.

"Can we go inside now?" Knuckles groaned a little.

"What's the rush Knuckles, can't you see we're having a little fun?" Sonic said.

"You can have fun once we go inside, OK?" Knuckles said, as he turned the knob, and opening the door. Sonic and Tails entered first, following Knuckles, who closed the door behind him.

Once inside, the trio went over to an empty table and sat down in their seats. And at that moment, the human waitress came by with their menus. She had red and black hair, as she approached their table.

"Hello there, and welcome to Louie's Diner. My name is Marisa, and I'll be your waitress this afternoon." Marisa greeted, as she handed the animals their menus. That's when she noticed something. "Hey, your name is Sonic, right?" Marisa wondered.

"Yeah, that's me." Sonic nodded.

"Oh my gosh, I have heard so much about you!" Marisa said, a little excited.

"You have?" Sonic wondered.

"Uh-huh." Marisa nodded. "Your the one who always kicks Dr. Eggman's butt, and sends his machines packing!" Marisa said, with an excited face.

"Uh...yeah." Sonic scratched his head, confused.

"It'll be an honor to serve you as your waitress today!" Marisa smiled, as she took out a small notebook and grabbed a pen from her pocket. "Now, what would you like to drink?"

"Uh..." Sonic looked at the menu of drinks. "I'll take a Root Beer, please."

"OK." Marisa wrote a little something before turning her head to Tails. "And what would you like...uh?" Marisa asked, wondering what the fox's name was.

"Oh, my name is Tails." The fox greeted with a smile.

"Tails, yes. "What would you like to drink?" She asked.

"Hmm..." Tails looked at the menu for a moment before answering. "I'll take a Root Beer, as well."

"OK, you got it." Marisa smiled, as she wrote something down. "And what would like, sir?"

"I'm Knuckles, and I'll have what their having." Knuckles responded.

"Very well." Marisa said, as she wrote something down on her notebook again. "OK, I'll have your drinks ready in a moment. In the meantime, why don't take a look at our menus, and see if anything interests you." Marisa noted with a smile, as she walked away, and prepared to prepare the drinks.

Sonic looked around the restaurant instead of his menu. He saw a lot of pictures of different things and people. However, one picture caught his eye. He looked at it very closely.

This picture was identified as Princess Elise. He was looking at it for a while now, thinking who it might be.

"That girl...I think I know her." Sonic wondered, as he studied the picture.

However, his studying was over, as Marisa happily carried the drinks carefully in her arms. She layed them cautiously on the table, trying not too spill them. "Here you are, three root beer's." Marisa smiled.

"Thanks." The trio said, as they each grabbed their drinks and pulled it to them.

"Are you ready to order now, or do you need some more time?" Marisa asked.

"I think we're ready, right Sonic?" Tails asked his friend.

Sonic didn't hear him. In fact, he was too busy thinking about that picture he saw.

"Sonic!" Tails called.

"Hm? Oh, sorry. What is it?" Sonic asked, as he was snapped out of his trance.

"I asked that if your ready to order." Tails answered.

"Oh...yeah. I'm ready." Sonic nodded his head.

"OK, what would you like to eat?" Marisa asked.

"I'll have a have cheeseburger, along with fries." Knuckles answered.

"OK...how about you, Tails?" Marisa asked the two-tailed fox.

"I'll have...two medium hot dogs and some chips, please." Tails answered.

"All right..." Marisa was taking note of the orders before turning to Sonic. "How about you, Sonic?" She smiled at him.

"Uh..." Sonic didn't answer.

"Sonic, what would you like to eat?" Marisa asked, trying to get an answer from him.

Sonic still didn't come up with an answer.

"Sonic? Are you OK?" Marisa asked, concerned.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine. I'll take a couple of medium hot dogs as well, with some chips, please?"

"All right." Marisa noted, as she wrote down Sonic's order on her notebook. "OK, I'll have your orders ready in about fifteen minutes." Marisa smiled, as she walked away from the trio and prepared their food.

"Sonic, are you all right?" Tails asked, concerned.

"Huh?"

"You were dozing off. It looked like you were in another world." Knuckles thought.

"Oh that...I'm fine. I was just thinking about something."

"About what?" Tails asked.

"I was wondering who that girl was." Sonic pointed at the picture of Elise.

Tails looked at the direction where Sonic was pointing, which was the picture of Princess Elise. "You mean Princess Elise?"

"That's her name?" Sonic wondered.

"Yeah, you haven't heard of her name before?" Knuckles raised an eyebrow, concerned.

"Uh, no. I was just curious, that's all." Sonic thought, as he was thinking about Elise, trying to remember something about her.

Author's Note: Now, let me clear some things for you. I do not want any flaming or hateful comments, just because I'm doing this pairing story of SonicxElise. It just so happens that I am one of the fans out there who do like this pairing. I know that seems odd for me doing something like this, but I'm gonna try and do the pairing in my own unique way.

And speaking of unique, I happen to have finished a story called "A sad princess" which features SonicxZelda. If your curious about that, go to my profile and check the story out, and see if I handled it well.

Please, read and review.
