Good news to those of you who can't wait for the next chapters in my other stories. I've decided to make a series of Sonic couple one-shots for you, to keep you occupied. I'll even take request on which couple you would like me to do next. I won't do gay couples because that isn't my belief I hope that doesn't bother you. No one bother to mention SonAmy to me because it's the most popular couple out there so I reassure you there will be a SonAmy. There also might be more than one story for some couples. Anyway, enjoy the first one-shot. I'll try to update every week!
Emerald
Have you ever been so in love with someone that you'd steal a powerful emerald from the Ultimate Life Form for them? No? Well, that's me. A love sick pup about to get a real beating! The whole time I had to keep telling myself, it's worth it! It's worth it! It's worth it! It is worth it right?
"You get back here with that emerald!" Shadow the Hedgehog was gaining on me, if that surprises you. I kept turning allies and jumping over fences hoping to get him off my tail. As you can tell, not working. I'm going to die! No pull yourself together, Manic! As soon as you get this to her it will all be worth it! I hope!
Once and a while I'll look around, either for her or some escape and right now both would be really helpful. You just had to show her you still got the touch! You could've asked your brother for a Chaos Emerald but no! You had to steal one from the Ultimate Life Form! My mind kept screaming at me and I knew it was right but I still wanted it to shut up so I could focus.
"When I get a hold of you even your brother won't be able to save you!" Shadow shouted. I winced at the thought of what he'd do to me if he did get a hold of me. Note to self; never steal powerful, glowing emerald from the Ultimate Life form, again! Suddenly, I saw an ally just up ahead. Yes! If I were to turn without letting Shadow see me I may be able to hide from him. I looked behind me to find Shadow's eyes still glued to me.
I had to think of something to get him to turn his head for at least a second. "Hey, Shadow! Is that Amy chasing after you?" I tried to make my excuse sound believable. Apparently it worked better than I thought because he stopped right in his tracks and turned around.
"Not again! I really think that girl needs glasses!" I heard Shadow call. I took this opportunity to my will and raced for the ally way. As soon as I got there I pressed myself against the wall and didn't make a sound. I even held my breath.
Wait! It's pretty rare for Shadow to fall for a trick like that so easily. I wonder what's keeping him from killing me. I poked my head out of the ally and scanned the area for Shadow only to find Amy Rose squeezing him to death and Shadow failing to pry her off. Thank you, Amy Rose! I ran out of the ally and as far away from them as I could in case one of Shadow's attempts to get her off actually worked.
I kept running until I found a bar where all the minor criminals go. I headed inside and looked around for the girl I risked my life for. The music filled the building with rock and roll. Almost every person was in the middle of a conversation. "Hey, Manic! Where have you been? We missed ya!" I turned to the bar tender who was a slim black cat with silver eye shadow.
"Hey, Trixie! How've you been?" She gave me a big smile that showed her sharp, pearly white fangs. She was polishing a glass with a blue wash cloth. I noticed she wore a white tank top and knee-high capris. Around her neck was a silver locket. In each ear was a golden hoop earring. Her gold eyes drifted to the red jewel firmly in my grip.
"You better hide that. Remember, you're not the only thief in this town." I heeded her warning and stuffed the glowing, red emerald in my fanny pack. "So, who's it for?" I gave her a confused face, wondering how she knew I was giving it to someone. "Don't give me that look. Ruby red is a girl's best friend. By the looks of it I'd say it's a Chaos Emerald and there's only one person I know you have a crush on that loves Chaos Emeralds." I blushed a bright red and Trixie grinned.
"Do you know where she is?" I gave her a hopeful look.
Trixie pointed to a table at the very back of the bar. "Last table in the back. Good luck, she loves playing hard to get."
I gave her a big smile. "Two can play at that game. Thanks, Trix." I headed to the back of the bar, dodging the dancing civilians. I finally spotted a table and very familiar sapphire blue eyes. I strolled over to the seat on the other side of the table, trying to look like I wasn't a nervous wreck. "Is this seat taken?" I asked the blue eyed bat who flashed a grin at me.
"It's about to be." I smiled and sat down in the chair. I couldn't help but stare at the girl in front of me. She had blue eye shadow and pink lipstick. She wore a black body suit with a pink heart on her chest. She had on with gloves with pink at the end of them. She also had on white boots with pink hearts on the toe. Her wings were spread out elegantly. It took all my will power to stare at something else. "Haven't seen you around here in a while, Green boy. What have you been up to?"
"Nothing really. Same old. You?" I gave her a grin.
She smiled and strolled over to me. She sat on the table and looked at me. "Had my heart set on the Master Emerald but that big bad echidna stopped me." She put out her lip and pretended to be sad.
"I'm sorry." I couldn't help but find her face adorable. Meanwhile, my mind was over excited. She's flirting with me! She's actually flirting with me!
"Oh, don't feel sad." She leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear, "I always get what I want." I was flustered so much that I felt like my heart was going to fly out of my chest.
"I don't doubt that." I winked at her. Suddenly, the room became dark and a slow song started playing. I held my hand out to her. "Care to dance?"
"I don't know…" She acted as if she was thinking about it then she gave me a grin, "Does the hedgie no how to dance?" I smiled as she grabbed my hand.
"You'll just have to wait and see." I returned her grin as we started dancing. It may seem like I'm completely calm, but really, I'm freaking out. What if I step on her foot? What if she doesn't want to dance with me anymore? What if I trip? What if… my thoughts were interrupted by her head resting against my chest as we slowly rocked back and forth. Well this is unexpected.
I told my mind to shut up and decided to get caught up in the moment. "I was mistaken. You can move." She lifted her head off my chest to look at me with those beautiful blue eyes of hers.
"Alright, no body move! I'm looking for an annoying, green hedgehog! Anyone seen him?" I snapped my head up and spotted Shadow at the front entrance of the bar. Great! "He's the brother of a blue hedgehog named Sonic. His name is Manic. Have you seen him?" At this point the music was silenced and everyone in the room was frozen.
"Green hedgehog? Doesn't ring any bells." Trixie said. Shadow glared at her. "If I do see him I'll make sure you'll be the first to know." Note to self: get something for Trixie as a thank you gift for trying to save my life. Key word trying.
"There he is!" Shadow stormed through the crowd and was headed straight for me. I'm dead! I'm dead! I'm dead!
"What did you do to blow his top, handsome?" I blushed at the bat's remark. I shrugged. "Well, I can't let him kill you after we had so much fun." She stretched out her wings and grabbed hold of my wrists. "Hold on, tough guy!" She called. I had no time to react as we flew past Shadow and out of the bar. I smiled as I watched Shadow chased after us only to find us flying higher and higher in the air.
"Are we having fun?" I looked back up into her hypnotizing orbs of blue and nodded my head. She returned my smile. "Brace for landing, Greeny." I looked down only to find us getting closer and closer to the ground. I sighed in relief as we landed on stone pavement. "You must have done something really bad to ruffle Shadow's feathers."
I laughed, "Yeah…" I suddenly remembered the real reason why I was with this marvelous woman. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the red Chaos Emerald I meant to give her in the first place. "This is for you, that's why Shadow was after me." I smiled as her eyes sparkled at the sight of the jewel.
"You stole that from, Shadow?" She said. I shook my head as she snatched the emerald from my grip. "No one's done anything like that for me before." That's sentence I barely heard but at least I heard it. "I'm impressed!" She crossed her arms. I frowned and thought my ears deceived me.
I was surprised when she jumped on to me and squeezed me. "Thank you, Manic." She whispered in my ear and then kissed me on the cheek.
My cheeks must had been as red as a tomato or maybe as red as Knuckles. She giggled at my reaction. I hugged her back and whispered in her ear, "Your welcome, Rouge!"
…o0o…
Well, what did you think? Did I portray Rouge right? Was it okay. Tell me in your reviews, I need feedback! I'm not a big fan of this couple but I had a marvelous idea and I just had to write it down! Hope you enjoyed! Those of you who figured the couple out at the beginning give yourself a pat on the back! Those who figured it out in the middle of the story I'm clapping for you! Those who didn't figure it out until the end, give me a hug I'm just like you! R&R please!
Twin-books :D
