Part 1: The Pink Menace
"But Sonikku, why not??" she edged on
"That's NOT my name..." i growled
"Sonic, why won't you go with me?? It's not like you'll have anything BETTER to do
on Valentine’s Day..." she did have a point...
"I-It's just..." I fumbled for the right words "look, Ames, I like you as a friend... and
nothing more OK?" she was starting to get on my nerves. Amy, yet again was annoying
me and asking if I would go out with her. She wanted to take me to Twinkle Park
for Valentine’s Day tomorrow.
This was because she wanted to make up for what happened last year. I had just
moped around the house all day, kind of depressed that my long time girlfriend,
Sally, had dumped me for Scourge. Can you believe that?? SCOURGE!!! But for
the whole entire day, I just locked myself in my room, didn't talk to anyone. I needed
to be alone for once.
This year, I figured I'd just sit around the house or maybe go for a run or two. But
Amy was determined to not let that happen.
Amy continued to wine, my ears were bleeding from that high-pitched sound and I
gave in.
"Alright, Alright!! I'll go to Twinkle Park with you if it'll make you SHUT UP!!" I gritted
my teeth to keep certain words a hero should never utter from coming out of my
mouth. If i let that slip, I'd have a bar of soap in my mouth from more than one of my
fans.
"YAY!!!!" she clung to my torso with such force I thought I'd puke for sure.
'I am so gonna regret this...'
Part 2: That Bat...
THE NEXT DAY:
Shadow's P.O.V.
"Oh, c'mon you big mope, live a little!" Rouge said as she preceded to tug me out the
door.
"Twinkle Park? But why? If you think I'm going to be your 'Valentine' You're
CRAZY!!" I protested.
"I am just going to teach Mr. Ultimate Depression how to live a little!! Now stop being so
stubborn, let's just go and have some fun!" she ripped my arms from the railing,
pushing me down the street.
"Yeah, I know what your idea of 'FUN' is!! Now stop pushing!!"
"Auhg... you can be so irritable, you know?"
"Can't you get it through your thick skull that I DON'T WANT TO GO??"
She Grabbed my hand, pulling me along as she took off down the street. She didn't
stop, even though we were getting some weird stares.
"Alright, alright!! I'll go you bat!! Leggo of my hand for god's sake!"
She turned around with a triumphant smile.
'oh god what am I getting myself into?
Part 3: Not Your 'Pal'
Shadow's P.O.V.
We finally arrived at the gates and Rouge took out our tickets.
"Wow, Shadow... when did you and Rouge hook up?" I whipped around to see
Silver over the counter. He must work there... "I thought I'd never see the day..." he
sneered.
"SHUTUP SILVER!!!!" I shouted "As if I actually WANTED TO COME!!" I scoffed.
"Whoa there, Shadow..." Silver said, taken aback by my aggression, then he smirked
and added " Calm down, pal."
My ears perked up and my face grew hot at that remark. 'pal? PAL??' I thought to
myself, growling. 'When someone calls you 'pal' and you're NOT pals, screw that!!!'
I was about to unleash a Chaos Blast on that white jerk when Rouge stopped me.
"Relax, Shadow..." she turned back to Silver and said "Look, we're just here on an
assignment, OK Silver? G.U.N. sent us to protect the park. Eggman is known to
bust in and crash the party, am I correct?" Silver nodded "We're just going to
scope around or any signs of him and is robots, right Shadow?" she elbowed me
in the chest, so I played along.
I nodded. "Yes, for work purposes and nothing more, now if you excuse us, we must
be going." I grabbed a hold of the bat's arm and tugged her to a more remote section
of the park. I plopped down on a wooden bench beneath a glorious shade tree while
Rouge set off to retrieve some ice-cream.
It felt so nice... so peaceful.. I could... almost...
Part 4: Payback!!
Sonic's P.O.V.
MEANWHILE:
Amy lead me (or I should say, dragged me) by the hand through the crowds at the
gates. All of those Sonamy fans had out their paper, pencils, and digital cameras.
I tried to salvage my reputation, but they continued to make gaga eyes at me.
"THIS ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!!!!" I shouted over the fetish frenzy Mobians.
She finally arrived at the ticket counters, and I whimpered helplessly, my ears folded, and my body drawn in a slump.
"Sonamy? Now I've seen everything!" I heard someone whistle. That voice
seemed oddly familiar.
I turned around and saw Silver over the counter, giving me a mock-grin. I grimaced
and slunk down further while Amy beamed with pride. I had really hoped that
no one I knew would see me like this.
"Silver, please, help me!" I squeaked in a low tone, so the pink menace wouldn't
hear me.
Silver laughed with great pleasure seeing me caught like this. "Isn't karma just
WONDERFUL, Sonic?" that smirk grew even wider.
"Oh, PLEASE don't bring that up... although, it was rather funny!" I smirked back,
recalling the instance he was referring to.
"Hahaha, shutup."
I let out an exasperated sigh as Amy began to pull me through the gates.
Silver last minute, added "Oh, I saw Shadow earlier. He came with Rouge and didn't seem too happy about it..."
My ears perked up "Shadow's Here?" I hoped to hear more, but Amy pulled me
away, ending our short conversation.
She walked on as I reluctantly followed. 'Shadow's here...' I repeated in the back of
my mind. For some reason, that thought gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling in my chest.
I shrugged it off and continued walking.
"I'm gonna go get us some ice-cream! Wait right here, OK, Sonikku?" Amy asked
I sighed at that stupid pet-name she had given me. "Yeah, sure, whatever..."
She took off and I turned and started walking, hoping to find a bench or a tree I
could nap in, but what I DID see, made me stop dead in my tracks...
Part 5: Eye Spy
Sonic's P.O.V.
What I saw was about 50 yards away, and absolutely stunning. Streaks of hot red mouthwatering tenderness, hot and spicy, yet delicious looking and tasting. I caught myself drooling as I walked over. I could barely keep my tong in my mouth at this point. I almost panted at the thought of putting my mouth around that succulent, juicy... chilidog! I walked up to a beige colored beagle operating the stand and ordered two little pieces of heaven.
"Hey, you wouldn't 'appen to be that there famous blue hedgehog, Sonic, now would ya?" he asked when he handed me my food.
I gulped down the first chilidog in two bites, liking off my finger tips replying "Yep! That's me!" I smiled brightly as I payed him.
His smile widened "Ah, pleased to meet you, fastest thing alive!" He shook my hand warmly, then looked over my shoulder at something. His expression changed to a questioned one "That feller' over there looks alot like you. You brothers or somthin'?"
I turned my head to where he was looking and when i caught a glimpse of who he was talking about, my heart skipped a beat.
"Shadow..." I couldn’t even reply to the guy, my mind was filled with so many mixed up thoughts.
"That 'is name? Seems to fit the guy real well... anywho, nice talkn' to ya, Sonic!" He said happily, going back to his work.
I cautiously walked towards Shadow, who was taking a nap on a bench under this broad tree. My heart was quickening with each step as I watched his chest slowly rise and fall rhythmically with his breathing. His slow, hot breath ruffling the path of silky white fur just below his chin. He made that wooden bench seem like an Easy-Chair.
At this point, I thought my heart would leap right out of my chest. I had finally reached the spot where Shadow was resting. I carefully lowered myself onto the bench, as not to disturb him. I watched him for a moment, he looked so at peace in his sleep. I wondered what the Ultimate Lifeform might dream of, but I was soon answered by a small mumble.
"Maria..." Shadow moaned quietly as he rolled to his side against the bench.
I smiled 'He must have really liked that girl...' I thought.
Shadow suddenly became rather restless in his sleep. His body made sudden jerks and barred his sharp canines as if in battle. He let out a few small, rather pitiful yelps, and began to quiver in fear.
I looked over in alarm at his unconscious actions, they made me quite concerned. He reminded me of a kicked puppy.
I took a quick glance around. The area that we were at was completely deserted, and the chillidog vender had taken his cart to a more populated area. I slowly slipped off my glove and placed it on the bench beside me.
Hesitantly, I began to scoot over to Shadow. I moved right next to him and timidly outstretched an ungloved hand to his shoulder. He paused only momentarily before continuing his trembling. I slowly began to rub his shoulder, stroking his black fur carefully...
