Sonic and Sally: 70 Years Later

Quiet music played from the gramophone in the ballroom of the ancient ancestral Acorn castle. The king and queen sat by the window, watching the sunset – one of the few pastimes for the old rulers. Sonic reminisced about their adventures, while Sally thought back to their wedding. Her hand slowly took his. Their eyes met.
Sally: My king, would you grant me one more dance?
The old queen asked in a weak, soft voice. Sonic smiled and stood up, helping Sally to her feet. They slowly made their way to the center of the ballroom and, holding each other, began a slow dance, just as they once had at their wedding.
