So I'll be making short stories that are basically Shadamy vs Sonamy! Please review and tell me if you like this idea! Plus it'll be good for me to write other stories if I get writer's block. So I'll make up shorts for different holiday occasions, I know this is slightly late but why not start off with Thanksgiving? Not all the short stories will revolve around holidays, it may just be random friend's days out or something! So please do review and tell me what you think, and perhaps throw in ideas for some shorts for your favorite pairing and I'll make it a short for this little series!
Anyways enough with my babbling, on with this short story!
~Thanksgiving~ Amy's P.O.V.
I was making dinner getting ready for the party I was throwing together for everyone. I was cooking the turkey and just finished making the corn, bread rolls and got the drinks together. The table was set and Shadow was laying outside on the hammock as I finished up the last few details.
I began to think of how many people I had invited so I can have the chairs already set. I remember I invited Sonic and Tails along with Cream and her family. There was Knuckles and Rouge, but I doubt she'll come since she did take Shadow's emerald(s). I just have to get the little details outside done and then place the food on the table. I put out lights around the yard and got a small bonfire ready for later on. Then I went back inside as Shadow followed, I grabbed a wrapped dish when the bell rang.
"Hey Shadow, can you get it?" I called out as I went out the back door to the backyard
"Sure." He replied as the ebony hedgehog opened the door and soon I heard a quick slam from outside
I walked back inside to question Shadow, "So who was it?"
"Just some salesman trying to sell perfume." He told me trying to get me away from the door. I managed to slip past him and opened the door and realized who it actually was.
"Sonic and Tails! Welcome, come in and ignore Shadow's behaviour. Sorry I had my hands full." I explained as Sonic smiled back at me
"No problem Ames." The cobalt hedgehog said warmly as Tails came up to me
"Has Cream made it yet?" The yellow fox asked excitedly
"I'm afraid not yet Tails, but I'm sure she will be soon." I reassured him as he happily walked off into the backyard
I turned around to grab the rest of the food but the dishes disappeared... I scanned the area since it was impossible for them to just disappear in thin air. After checking twice to see if they were misplaced by me I walked outside to see Shadow and Sonic setting up the food. Puzzled and shocked I walked up to them and asked, "You guys?" I gestured to them, "Working together?"
Soon regretting I pointed it out their death glares began...
"Well I appreciate it you two!" I thanked them as Shadow walked away leaving me and Sonic on our own
"You've done great decorating Ames." The cobalt blue hedgehog complimented, "And a bonfire?"
I giggled, "I would hope it was good, I spent all day fixing it all up."
Sonic smiled warmly at me, he was about to say something else when a warm arm wrapped around my shoulders. I saw Sonic's facial expression fall and turned to see who it was. Shadow was there staring at Sonic menacingly but his face softened as he informed me that Cream and her family was here. I looked around to see where Cream was and sure enough she found Tails. They were playing out in the grass as Ms. Vanilla watched over them smiling.
After seeing Cream was alright playing with Tails I tuned back into the conversation Shadow and Sonic was having.
"I said no Faker." Shadow said sternly as Sonic rolled his eyes
"She can decide for herself." Sonic replied as he grabbed me and wrapped his arms around my waist holding me tight. Shadow grabbed me from Sonic and wrapped his arms around my shoulders as he laid his head ontop of Ms. Vanilla stepped in to help pry me from both of their clutches.
"Um, excuse me you three? Sonic, Knuckles is here. Why don't you catch up with him?" The motherly rabbit interrupted Shadow and Sonic's bickering. Sonic nodded and took off to find Knuckles. Vanilla gently took me out of both of their reaches, "Amy would you like to start eating now?"
"Sure!" I smiled warmly and gratefully at Cream's mother and made my way to the giant table filled with millions of foods I baked.
As we ate we had trivial conversations (that honestly I'm too lazy to put in trivial things, sorry Dx ~Dragon) about what had happened to everyone and how thankful we were for our things. Tails sat next to Cream as Vanilla sat next to Cream. I sat opposite from Cream as Shadow and Sonic sat on both sides of me and Knuckles was head of the table near Sonic.
"So Amy, is there any cake?" Cream asked anxiously as I chuckled at her enthusiasm for dessert
"Yes Cream." I chuckled at her enthusiasm, I brought out a nice cakecake- though it was small...
I gave each person a piece as the sun slowly went down even more. The sky had finally changed to a nice multi colored sky, orange, pink and yellows everywhere. Sonic was off catching up with Knuckles and Tails and Cream were together playing as Vanilla watched over them carefully. Which left Shadow and I alone.
"Isn't the sky beautiful Shadow?" I asked staring at the colors
"Yes, I guess." Shadow replied shrugging off the question
"How can you say that? It is beautiful!" I exclaimed at him as he just stared at me smiling-and attempting to stop from laughing at my overreaction
"Sure Rose. I'll agree with you." The ebony hedgehog said as I pouted at him
"You could at least say it..." I said softly as he chuckled at me
I decided to start up the bonfire since during that short argument- well for me it was an argument- the sun had already set. As I got a little diesel to start it up Shadow insisted that he do it instead of me. Except I refused. I liked setting fires- I may have a slight pyromaniac side to me. I lit a match and threw it into the small pile of wood and watched it slowly catch fire. Plus if I accidentally used gasoline it would've probably blown up in my face...
I sat in a chair near the fire as Shadow followed and sat next to me. Knuckles and Sonic joined as well when they were done with their conversation. Tails and Cream stayed in their little area chatting as Vanilla still watched over them with a warm smile. I got up and got marshmallows for a second and Knuckles stole my seat.
"Knuckles!" I yelled at him as he leaned back comfortably with a smirk
"It's okay Rose, leave him there." Shadow told me as I tried to contradict him
"B-but Shadow-" I was cut off when Shadow wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me into his lap.
I grew neon red as he said, "See? Now instead of me doing the effort of roasting marshmallows you can do it for me and hand me some."
I elbowed him in the gut, "Shadow you lazy-"
"I was messing with you Rose!" The ebony hedgehog exclaimed as I put a marshmallow on a barbeque stick and started roasting it, "But the offer of sharing some of your marshmallows..."
I elbowed him once more.
"Okay, okay. I get it. A woman has to have her marshmallows..." He said as I giggled and laid back onto his chest.
"Hey Ames there's aan open-" Sonic said but Shadow shoved a bunch of marshmallows into his mouth. I forgot I left the bag near Shadow's hand...
"Shadow!" I yelled at him angrily
"Yes?" He replied sheepishly
"Did you use all the marshmallows?!" I continued to yell as he looked at me hurt
"No!" He started as he grabbed the bag, "There's a couple left..."
I glared at him as he continued, "Rose you have another bag!"
He gestured to the bag on the other side of the chair.
I pouted at him and replied, "It's not the same... It's like you lose your wallet. 'Don't worry you have a new one!' No! I wanted the one I had! I wasn't finished using it!"
Shadow stared at me blankly as I continued to make my point, "Sure you have a brand new one but you still wanted the contents in the old one!"
Sonic, Knuckles and Shadow all stared at me with blank expressions.
"She has a valid point actually." Knuckles said as I smiled proudly
"So the moral of the story was..." Sonic started as Shadow finished it off
"Don't take any of Rose's marshmallows..." He looked at me as I nodded in agreement, "Plus she comes up with weird analogies..."
The night neared to an end and Rouge swung by! Granted she literally flew by and picked up fofood without stopping while taking Knuckles hostage, but she came! Shadow yelled after Rouge but couldn't do anything since I was still on his lap. Knuckles was taken and yelling in mid air, "SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING."
No one actually did anything though. Vanilla and Cream left long ago with Tails to take both of them back home. I was left with Sonic and Shadow, well I'm always with Shadow anyway- we live together. I followed Sonic to the door as Shadow got ready for bed upstairs. Before Sonic left he turned around and asked me about something.
"Ames?" The cobalt blue hedgehog asked hesitantly
"Yes Sonic?" I replied as I followed him out onto the porch
"Would you mind...um... going to see a movie or something sometime?" He asked slowly as I just smiled warmly at him
"Sure Sonic, that'd be nice!" I agreed as he smiled and ran off- but not before waving goodbye
I entered the house and sighed. I have to clean up this mess... I sank down with my head into my knees knowing this would have come eventually. I sprang back up with sudden enthusiasm.
"I know what to do know!" I said to myself as I sat on the couch flipping through Netflix, "I'll do it tomorrow..."
So I'm sure you have a little idea for the next short I'll be working on, but it depends! Whether or not I get it done before Christmas... Then there's New Year's...
Any who, please review and suggest some things if you like! Hope you enjoyed!~
