Dark Love

Chapter 1

Halley's POV

Jackie, Amy, Cream, Blaze and I were shopping in the city. We were trying some

clothes on for the summer since the weather was very hot outside. Amy chose a lot of summer

dresses on that would probably impress her boyfriend, Sonic. Cream was looking at a bathing suit, in

case she needed one for swimming. Blaze was just looking for something for Silver for their

anniversary. Plus, a purple bikini to wear at the beach. Jackie saw a lot of black clothes that she really

liked, but we tried to convince her to try on a lighter color for the summer. So, she decided to buy a few

grey and white tank tops. She also bought a pair of jean shorts. As for me, I had my eyes on a pair of

pink sandals that came with a tattoo. I also saw a pink see-through shirt.

Afterwards, we were having our own little gossip at the café.

"So, you and Silver have been going out for almost a month?" Amy asked Blaze.

"Yeah," Blaze replied. "He's a really great boyfriend and he never lets me down on

anything."

"Did you kiss him?" Cream asked anxiously.

Blaze blushed. "Well…a few times."

"Was it a regular kiss or a French kiss?" asked Jackie.

"Most of the time, a regular kiss. One time, a French kiss."

"Oh my God," I said. "I can't believe it. That's so romantic." I turned to Amy. "What

about you, Amy? How many times have you kissed Sonic?"

"Only once," said Amy. "Sonic isn't really into romance too much, but he sure is a

great kisser."

"That's okay. Most boys are like that."

"I agree," said Blaze. She faced me. "By the way, Halley, how does Knuckles kiss

you?"

I didn't think anyone was going to ask me that question. "Well…his lips are…soft, but a

little rough around the edges."

"What do you mean by that?" asked Amy.

"Well, you know…it can be a little complicated at times. Sometimes it's one thing,

sometimes it's the opposite."

"You're not really making any sense," said Jackie.

I finally shrugged. "Alright, I admit it! We've never kissed!"

"What?" said Cream.

"You've been going out with him for almost two weeks, yet you've never kissed

him?" Blaze asked, looking startled.

"I want to, but something tells me that I'm not ready for it," I said.

"Well, you've got to do it soon, otherwise, you'll end up being the kiss-less couple,"

said Jackie.

"Jackie!"

"What? I was just saying…oh, never mind."

"Well, has anyone ever kissed you?"

"Yeah, but it didn't really last too long."

"Why not?" asked Blaze.

"'Cause a lot of boys that I've dated kept dumping me because of my personality. I mean, I

may be a Goth, but I'm not really like the others. I guess sometimes I can get a little carried away with

this romantic business."

"Well, maybe someday, you'll find a man that'll know your true colors and like you,"

said Amy.

Jackie sighed. "I hope you're right."

Suddenly, we heard a lot of noises going on near the center of the city. The five of

us ran to see what was going on. We saw two huge robots destroying everything in the city.

"It's Eggman, again," I said.

"What's that dip wad doing here?" asked Jackie.

"Causing trouble, I presume."

"If Dr. Eggman's in one robot, then who's in the other one?" asked Cream.

"That's my arch-enemy," said Blaze, "Dr. Eggman Nega."

"Eggman Nega?" said Amy. "Well, I think we're going to need some help since

there are two of them."

"You're right, Amy," said Cream. "I'll get some help."

"Be careful, Cream," Blaze called to Cream as she flew away to get help. "Let's go,

girls!" The four of us were distracting the robots by attacking and taunting. One of the robots grabbed

Blaze with a strong grip.

"Well, look at who we've got here," cackled one of the doctors. "It's been a while,

my dear. How are you and your boyfriend making out?"

"That's none of your dang business, Eggman Nega!" Blaze shouted.

"Feisty, aren't we? Well, it doesn't matter. We won't let you girls stop us."

"Think we won't?" Blaze used her pyrokinesis to melt the robot's metal hand. She

and I attacked Eggman Nega while Jackie and Amy fought Eggman.

Jackie's POV

During the fight, Amy used her hammer to smash some of the robot's parts.

However, one of them accidentally landed on me. I couldn't escape it.

Just when Eggman was about to crush me, I heard someone yell, "Chaos Spear!"

Then, a bunch of yellow glowing arrows attacked the robot. I turned to see a black and red hedgehog

staring at me. I was surprised to see him lifting up the broken robot part from me so I could escape.

"Th-thanks," I said, getting up from the ground.

"Don't mention it," said the hedgehog. "Now, if you'll excuse me."

As he left to destroy Eggman's robot, I stared at him and thought, "Who was that

guy?" Suddenly, I saw Sonic, Silver, Knuckles and Cream join in the fight.

Halley's POV

"Sorry, we're late," said Silver. "What did we miss?"

"Not too much," I said. "C'mon, we've got to stop them." The eight of us fought

the robots with all of our might. We did a lot of punches, kicks, and power blasts. After the battle

ended, the two doctors retreated and we just watched them.

"Glad, that's over," said Sonic.

"I agree," said Knuckles. "Let's go home." We all walked away from the city and

returned to Knothole Village.
