I got insanely bored! And so I started writing a humor/drama. I hate drama. HATE IT SO MUCH! But, it was kind of fun to write. I made Sonic look like an insecure idiot! (Look like?) Shut up! (Okay)
Disclaimer: GO ahead and take your smelly hedgehog. Who'd want him around anyway?
"Hey!" Protested Sonic angrily
"There you are! Get back in your cage!" (Sega)
"Komodo, help me!"
"Bye, Sonic!" Answered Komodo as Sonic was dragged away kicking and screaming.
Sonic sighed. Life was... good. It had been two years since Legacy of the Eight Dragons, (even though everyone had magically not grown any older) and the ...err... mongoose incident... and Sonic had happily settled down in Oakshire, working at DOOMFACE. He was paid to not only star in various fan fictions (as long as he did whatever Komodo wanted) and drag his weight around the house, (you know, do his fair share of chores) but to have his own room as well! The owners of DOOMFACE were two insane teenage girls, stunningly violent and contradictory to the belief of most people's idea of womanly behavior. Their personalities were both crudely insane, with a black, twisted humor, but other than that, the girls seemed opposite.
Komodo liked comedies. Zoz, the other girl liked horror films with lots of blood. Komodo like those too, second only to comedies. Komodo's favorite color was a deep, reddish orange. Zoz liked black and electric blue. They both partially hated Sonic, and often were unjust rulers. Zoz had black, purple ad electric blue hair, while Komodo had deep, reddish-orange hair, with neon yellow bangs. She almost always had it up in a big bushy ponytail, her bangs left alone. Komodo's outfit consisted of a deep, burnt orange tank top with white trim and a bright red dragon on the front, which was outlined in black. Her pants were baggy and looked burnt orange as well, but far more orange than the tank top. She often wore a black trench coat. Zoz had a navy-blue t-shirt; saying the classic; you have the right to remain violent in bold, silver letters; a saying from one of the violent and loud bands Komodo and Zoz liked so much. She also had indigo-blue pants, nearly black, with almost more chains and metal loopy things than you could throw a hedgehog at. And Komodo and Zoz could throw a hedgehog into a lot of things. (Mostly lava or spikes)
(Sorry for the boring-ness of that. I had to introduce myself.)
Sonic also had another job downtown, but it was only for three hours, and he was home already. He walked through the side-front door, and into the living room, sitting on the couch and watching TV. Bored. Sonic was always the first one home, and it was often boring with no one to talk to. He channel surfed, but found it was pointless, DOOMFACE only had three channels that came in to begin with. He stood up, stretched, and went to the kitchen. Suddenly, Sonic heard the front door slam and Komodo begin to grumble to herself. He backed away, his ears swiveling against his head, to block out the noise: Komodo was shouting. He hated it when people shouted around here...
"IT'S NOT FAIR!" Growled Komodo, storming into the room. "THEY WILL ALL DIE IN AGONY... Except for Kool-Aid man."
"What's wrong?" Asked Sonic fearfully. Last time Komodo got this upset, He woke up without a nose. It grew back, but...
"SOMEONE CAN WRITE A NINE-CHAPTER STORY ABOUT PONG IN SCRIPT, BUT I CAN'T WRITE A ONE-CHAPTER SONIC STORY IN SCRIPT! ...The story was good, but OH, I AM SO MAD! INFURIATED! WRATHFUL! ANGRY! PISSED OFF!"
"Komodo-"
"Don't you give me one of your logical lectures, you inferior spiny mammal!" She snapped. "I SHALL NOW DROWN MY MISERY IN VIOLENT AND MEANINGLESS DESTRUCTION!" Komodo then threw a toaster out the window, jumped out, and smashed down the back door.
"...I'll be in my room."
"Your what?" Asked Komodo, strangling the blender.
"My room. You know, the one with the-"
"Oh, that... Well you see, the thing about that is..."
"W-wha?" Sonic stammered, panicked. What had Komodo done now? His imagination went wild. Maybe she was smuggling reptiles across the state, and needed more space... No, she definitely was on one of her collection sprees again. His room must be filled with cheese! Or maybe she's been kidnapping and locking up those door-to-door salesmen and Jehovah's witnesses people, or-
"I needed a place for the gophers." Komodo said, now stabbing the blender with a spoon. Sonic paused.
Gophers? Okay, now that's weird, even for Komodo... should I ask... no. Even if I did... well
"What are the gophers for?" He asked fearfully. Komodo picked up the blender by the power cord-thingy; spinning it around to make sure it was dead.
"Well, how ELSE would I get rid of the corpses?" She said, throwing the blender behind her and picking up the food processor. She turned it on and started shoving forks into it. Sonic turned around and promptly ran away. Komodo shrugged, and threw the food processor into the ceiling, putting a hole in it.
Sonic ran through the lounge and up the stairs. Last time Komodo mentioned corpses, Sonic was mistaken for an escaped turtle, thrown in the zoo, and forced to eat snails. He ran down the hall, and opened the door to his room. Sure enough, the furniture was gone; gophers were everywhere, a couple eating hunks of cheese. Sonic moaned and turned around, running back down the stairs, He HAD to tell Komodo that it wasn't fair to put gophers in his room! He ran in the kitchen to see she wasn't there. He sighed. Where would he sleep? He thought about it. He looked at the living room. The couch? VERY bad idea. One time, Shadow had slept on the couch, and he woke up three years old. It took a while before they figured out the couch was cursed. The roof? Hey, he had done it before, hadn't he? He went through the kitchen, and out the door. He walked outside, ran a couple meters from the door, and looked up to the top of DOOMFACE. In reality, DOOMFACE was only three stories tall, maybe with a basement for prisoners, but looking up at it, it seemed a lot taller to Sonic... he swallowed nervously. What if he fell off? He imagined it something like falling, falling, falling, falling, splat goes the hedgehog. Besides, the roof was flat, and hard, and DOOMFACE was in a "temperate" (those liars) climate. Meaning it was cold, wet and rainy and nights could freeze the toes off a snowman.
"Snowmen don't have toes!" Argued Sonic to the narrator. The narrator apologized. Then the narrator dropped an anvil on Sonic's head.
"OW! CRAP! I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE SORRY!" Sonic complained.
The narrator lied.
"Dang you, Komodo." Said Sonic, rubbing his head. An anvil-shaped pain throbbed in his brain. And that rhymed! He sadly walked back inside, closing the door quietly behind him. Komodo was standing in front of the oven, as exploding sounds were heard from within. Sonic decided he didn't want to know. He walked through the hall on the other side of the kitchen, past the lobby, and up the stairs, only to run into Fliara, who was on her way down.
"Hiya, Sonic!" Fliara said, more friendly than usual. "You look blue today."
Sonic blinked.
"...I meant as in upset." Fliara shrugged, then returning to her obnoxious happy self. "So, what's eating you?"
"Komodo filled my room with gophers; so, now I have nowhere to sleep."
"No, I meant, what's eating you? There's a bite mark on your arm." She said, poking it. Sonic flinched away.
"Watch it!" He protested. How did that get there, anyway? Sonic shrugged it off. Weird things like that happened in DOOMFACE all the time.
"But, wow, gophers... why can't you sleep in the room with the gophers again?"
"THEY'LL EAT ME! AND THEY'RE FREAKY!" Sonic shouted. Fliara nodded.
"Well, you could always share a room with someone."
"No!" Sonic exclaimed."Nu-uh, not after what happened to Shadow. Remember that time he tried to sneak into Alexi's room? Besides, everyone here is so confidential, that no one here would let me in his or her room." Sonic said. Suddenly, a chuckle was heard from Fliara. He realized his mistake.
"All except for-..."
"DON'T YOU SAY IT!" Shouted Sonic.
"AMY! Amy and Sonic, sitting in a tree; f- u-"
"FLIARA!" Shouted Komodo from downstairs. "WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT THAT TYPE OF HUMOR?"
"NOT TO USE IT UNLESS IT WAS AN EMERGENCY!" Fliara shouted back from upstairs.
"GOOD! AND AS FOR YOU, SONIC, DON'T LEAVE YOURSELF OPEN TO THOSE KINDS OF PUNS! THEY WILL HAPPEN!"
"OKAY, KOMODO!"
"WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?" Asked Knuckles, who just walked in the front door, carrying a bag of groceries. Fliara waved, and Komodo stepped out of the kitchen, covered in ash, with some of her hair on fire.
"Hello, Knux." Komodo answered. "We're having pizza tonight!"
"We have pizza every night."
"That's right! Because I can't cook! Remember what happened last time?"
Fliara ran away screaming, Sonic passed out in terror and Knux-... Knux went to Germany. ...Yay.
Then everyone went back to normal. Why? Because I'm the authoress and I MAKE THE RULES!
Komodo shrugged, and stepped back into the kitchen. Explosions were heard from within. Knuckles shook his head and started walking up the stairs. He noticed that Sonic was glaring at Fliara, and Fliara was glaring at Sonic. A worried expression dawned Knux's face.
"What's going on?"
"Godzilla here made a vulgar joke about Amy and me."
"Hedge-head got me in trouble."
Knuckles sighed... those two would never get along. Sonic and Fliara, he meant. Sonic groaned and again started up the stairs, then stopped, (remembering the gophers) and headed down.
"What's eating you?"
"I swear I don't know how that bite mark got on my arm." Sonic answered. "I think it was a piranha"
"...?"
"Oh, you didn't mean that."
"I meant why are you bummed out?" Asked Knuckles, setting the groceries down by the front door.
"Komodo emptied out my room so she can put gophers in it. I have nowhere to sleep!" He said. Knuckles seemed surprised.
"Gophers? Really? My, my... that's weird even for Komodo... well you could always... oh yeah, it's cursed." Knux remembered the time the couch almost ate Tails. "And there's the roof-"
"It's too cold."
"It'll be summer soon."
"But it's spring now." Sonic complained. "Spring is too... wet."
"I agree." Said Fliara, walking bye with a banana and some dynamite in hand. They both ignored the explosives. That was normal for Fliara.
"Well, you're right. You do have a dilemma, don't you?" Agreed Knuckles. Sonic nodded. Knuckles thought about it. "You'll have to ask the rest of the gang once they get here."
"Where is everyone, anyway?" Said Sonic.
"Well... let's see... Tails is at the post-office, Rouge went for a walk, Ames is-"
"DON'T YOU GO CALLING MY AMY AMES! THAT'S MY AFFECTIONATE NICKNAME FOR HER!" Sonic snapped. Komodo stepped out form the kitchen, now more of her was burnt or lit on fire in various ways.
"Aww! Is someone finally admitting their true feelings?" She asked.
"I HAVE NO FEELINGS FOR SHADOW AT ALL!" Shouted Sonic.
They both stared at him.
"Well, I don't." He repeated. Knux turned around and left.
"I'm going to my room. I don't wanna be here when Alexi and Shadow show up." Knuckles shuddered and continued to walk up the stairs. Sonic glared, and called up after him
"BE HAPPY YOUR ROOM ISN'T INFESTED WITH GOPHERS!"
"What about gophers?" Said a voice behind him. He turned around and smiled.
"Hi, Tails!" He said. "Watch'a got there?" He asked, pointing to a package that Tails was carrying. Tails yanked it away, glaring
"NOTHING!" Tails said, running to his room. Tails stormed up the steps, and close the door swiftly behind him.
Tails point of view).
Tails sighed heavily. That was a close one... he hastily threw the package on his bed, then went through the rest of the mail, picking out his letters, and throwing them on his bed with the package. He was quite relieved that Sonic hadn't gotten his nosy little hedgehog nose into it. NO ONE MUST EVER KNOW! Tails cackled evilly to himself. So, he grabbed the rest of the gang's mail, his latest issue of Scientific American, and headed downstairs,
(Sonic's point of view.)
Sonic had no idea what Tails was up to, and didn't really know if he wanted to find out. He walked into the kitchen to find Komodo dialing up pizza hut and looked through the cupboard for a snack. Suddenly, Komodo turned around and yelled at him.
"BAD HEDGEHOG! BAD! YOU'LL RUIN YOU APPETITE FOR DINNER!" She waved the phone at him menacingly. Sonic flinched at all the shouting and ran back upstairs, accidentally crashing into Tails.
"Ow- ...oh, it's you... sorry, buddy." Apologized Sonic. Tails nodded, rubbing his head behind his amazingly large, fox-like ears. (Hey, he is a fox... besides, it would be weird if he was a fox with giraffe-like ears, now wouldn't it?)
"Oh, you got some mail!" Tails said, picking up the letters he had dropped on the floor and handing Sonic a small stack of envelopes. Tails then stood up, and walked down the stairs. "Hey, Komodo, we got some mail! It's from your old elementary school."
"OH MY GOD, THEY FOUND ME! BURN IT, BURN IT, TAILS!"
Sonic continued to run up the steps; he didn't want to stick around to hear the end of that story. He was about to go in his room, when he remembered the gophers.
"Dang!" He said, kicking the ground in frustration. Where would he go to hide from the wrath of Komodo? He looked around. Closet? No, too dark and scary. Bathroom? No. Too clean. Tails' room? Would he mind? Yes. Sonic didn't even want to think about Shadow's or Alexi's. Knux? No way, no one was allowed in Knux's room. (Probably because he had pictures of Rouge pinned all over the walls) Amy? No... no, no, no. She would get the wrong idea if he were in her room without her permission Cream's was out of the question. By the time Sonic would be done tripping over dolls and stuffed animals, the fight would be over. Besides, she was in there taking a nap. He forgot about it, and suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
"I'll get it!" Said three voices at the same time. Knux burst out of his room, (Sonic caught a brief glimpse of the Rouge posters) Tails and Komodo ran from the kitchen, and Sonic ran to the living room. Finally he could sneak through the kitchen, since Komodo was too busy fighting with Tails and Knux over the doorbell. He sat down on the couch, (it was only evil at night) and started looking through his letters. Do you have hog insurance? Junk! He threw it over his shoulder; it landed on the ground and disappeared. (Stuff disappears in DOOMFACE) Political debates; does anyone care? Junk! He tossed it aside, and looked at the next letter. Wait a minute, what was this? He looked it over. It was addressed to Amy. From...
"SEPHIROTH?" Sonic shouted, glaring at the letter. Komodo shouted from the door, (they were still to busy fighting over it)
"What's wrong, Sonic?"
"Wh- ah, uh... um, nothing! No, I- I'm fine."
Suddenly Zoz opened the door, smacking Knux and Tails in the head.
"Never mind, guys, I found my house key!" Said Zoz. She held up a banana.
"That's not a key." Said Knux; Tails still trapped in his headlock.
"Let go, Knux!"
"Whoops. Sorry." The red echidna let go of Tails.
Zoz stared blankly at the banana.
"Well, it worked." She said to herself, quickly pocketing the banana in her baggy, dark-blue jeans. Then Komodo jumped over to the door.
"You'll never guess what Sonic just did!" Said Komodo.
"Jump off a cliff? YAY, HE'S DEAD!"
"No, No, he shouted Sephiroth's name!" Said Komodo. "Weird, huh?"
"WHAT? SEPHIROTH? WHERE?" Shouted Zoz, looking around. "I MUST FIND HIM! HE WON'T GET AWAY FROM ME THIS TIME!"
"I did not!" Said Sonic, hiding Amy's letter behind his back. "And Sephiroth isn't here!" Sonic shouted grumpily. He stomped up the stairs, then remembering the gophers, and walked back downstairs, going outside.
Sonic walked to the big oak tree in the front lawn and sat down under its shade. Spring in Oakshire was so weird... warm days, cold nights, lot of rain. He carefully took Amy's letter from behind his back and stared at it.
Oooh, I sure hope that evil Sephiroth is staying away from MY Ames... What's he doing, mailing her, anyway? Well, whatever he's doing, he better back off! Amy's MINE! ALL MINE! MUAHAHAHAHA! Sonic thought to himself, minus the evil laughter. He looked over the envelope. The return address as written VERY legibly... Sonic grew suspicious. Should he open it? Sure, it was against the law to open another's mail, but it was also against the law to cheat on your amazingly loyal and cute boyfriend! (Dream on, Sonic, you aren't cute.) Okay, it wasn't, but... Sonic opened the letter carefully, and pulled out the piece of paper. It was folded neatly in thirds. Dang you and your cunning samurai skills, Sephiroth! Sonic cursed, opening the letter with difficulty. It was typed. That shows how much he would care about her... doesn't even take the time to write it by hand! He scoffed, to reassure himself.
You're just saying that to give you self esteem because you can't turn on a computer without breaking a bone. Said a voice in his head.
"Shut up!" Sonic said out loud. Oops! He returned to the letter.
Dear Friend,
(Oh, god, he called her dear!) Sonic panicked.
I'm really happy that you agreed to this, Ames!
(ACK! HE CALLED HER AMES!)
I still can't believe we can really pull this off behind Sonic's back!
(ACK!)
All I know for sure is that there's gonna be one happy hedgehog tomorrow night!
(EEP!)-Bad Sonic, no say 'eep' -too girly (ACK!) Much better
"OH, DEAR LORD!" Sonic shouted, panicking. 'THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!"
"What can't be happening?" Asked a familiar voice from behind him. Sonic turned around and gasped.
"ACK! SHADOW! GO AWAY!" Sonic shouted, tearing up the letter behind his back. (OH NO!) He realized, now he couldn't return the letter! What if Amy got suspicious?
"You seem panicky. Something's eating you-"
"FOR THE LAST TIME I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT BITE-MARK GOT ON MY ARM!"
"What bite mark?"
"It's gone?" He asked, looking at his arm. ''Well, whadaya know?" He then remembered the envelope. He couldn't let shadow see it! "I-I gotta go!"
"Wait, Alexi and Rouge are back, and Alexi wants to talk to you!" He said, turning around to leave. Sonic froze. First his room is infested with gophers, then he learns Amy is abandoning him for Sephiroth, and now his 'rumored' mother wanted to talk to him! COULD THE DAY GET ANY WORSE? Sonic moaned, and turned back to Shadow, quickly pocketing the envelope, and the ripped-up letter.
"Wait a minute, I don't have pockets!" Sonic argued with the narrator. The narrator gave a confused shrug and said that it was the best she could do at 9:40pm. (Hey, early to bed and early to rise, makes a hog happy and no one knows why!) Shadow gave Sonic a glare.
"Yes, you have to." He said. Sonic moaned. "Don't you give me that tone!" Argued shadow. Sonic ran towards DOOMFACE. This was driving him crazy. He walked through the door, to see Rouge and Zoz talking, Knuckles wearing an apron and holding a tray of cookies.
"What happened?" He asked. Knuckles looked embarrassed.
"We made a bet, and he lost!" Said Rouge, taking a cookie. "That's a good Knuxie-poo!" Knuckles' eye twitched and he glared into space.
(Oh, dear lord, she's doing the Knuxie-poo thing again!) Sonic thought to himself. He heard Alexi's voice form upstairs.
"Sonic! I know you're down there!" Alexi shouted. Sonic moaned in response.
"Komodo, why did you have to make Shadow and Alexi my parents?" He asked. Komodo shrugged.
"I was bored. I had writer's block. Be happy I didn't make Knux and Rouge your parents."
Knuckles got a very nauseous look on his face and Rouge looked immensely grossed out. Sonic shuddered at the idea as well. Suddenly, an idea came to Knux.
"Hey, Sonic, if Alexi and Shad are your parents, and they're not married, doesn't that make you a bas-"
"Sonic!" He heard Alexi shout. Sonic moaned.
"Hold that thought, Knux." Sonic walked up the stairs, not looking forward to his 'talk' with mom.
"Alexi?" He asked, walking in the room. He never really liked Alexi's room. It usually gave him nightmares. The ceiling fan was made of knives, it was always almost pitch-black, and bars covered the small, prison-room like window. Sonic shuddered.
"About time. Here, take this." Alexi said, handing Sonic a box.
"What's in it?"
"Just a little something I think you might find handy in a couple of years... I found it one day during one of my city robs. I don't want it; you take it." She said. Sonic looked around.
"Is that it? I'm not in trouble?" He asked.
"No. Why? You haven't been doing anything, have you?" She asked.
"No." said Sonic. He looked at the box. He couldn't see what it was. 'But why didn't you just give it to me outside if it's just a gift?"
"Sorry. I know you don't like it in here." Alexi said. "You'll see when you get back in the light."
Sonic shrugged to himself, and quickly exited Alexi's room. He hated it in there. Once outside, the light nearly stung his eyes. He blinked, getting use to it. He looked at the box in his hand. A small, velvet box... He knew what it was. He opened it, to make sure. Yep. A ring. A note was attached to it.
For when you're ready to commit to that girlfriend of yours.
-Alexi (don't call me mom)
He quickly remembered Amy, and the letter... he sighed... Oh, Amy... why oh why was she doing this? He-he really had thought that she... he went into his room and opened the door, forgetting about the gophers, and finding... it was back to normal?
"Komodo? What happened to the gophers?" He shouted downstairs.
"Err... you know the bet that Rouge and Knux made?" Komodo shouted.
"Yeah?"
"Well, that's why." Said Komodo, disappearing back into the living room. Sonic shrugged. He was just glad to get his room back... he collapsed into the familiar, comfortable bed... Blue, with green lightning bolts... Sonic had taken a while to get used to it, but... Meh, Komodo's interior designing was weird... most of the stuph was colored in that color scheme, with a dark green rug and light blue walls. A bright, cheery window lit up the small room. He sighed shakily, placing the envelope and velvet box on his dresser then rethought, and put them in one of the drawers. Closing the drawer, The dresser shook lightly, sending his picture of Amy off the side, falling to the ground.
"Oh, no!" He said, reaching down and picking it up. He inspected it carefully. It looked okay... He sighed shakily, again, and collapsed back into the bed. He again thought about the letter... It must be some mix-up. Hey, lots of people called 'Aris' 'Amy' in final fantasy seven.
No they don't. The voice said in his head.
Shut up! You're not helping! Argued Sonic. The voice shrugged and left. Sonic sighed. The voice was right. Besides, Sephiroth killed Aris halfway through the game anyway. EEP! Amy was kind of like aris, and SEPHIROTH KILLED ARIS, AND SEPHIROTH WAS MAILING AMY! OH NO! That couldn't happen! That just couldn't happen-
Sonic suddenly realized he was hugging Amy's picture to his chest. He quickly put it back on the dresser.
Get a hold of yourself, Sonic. I'm sure it's nothing. Voice said.
Well I'm not! Argued Sonic. And besides-
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Sonic figured out who is was in a second.
Komodo: kitchen, Knux &Rouge: living room, Cream: nap, Alexi: room, Shadow: room, me: room, Zoz: living room, Big: fishing, Tails: somewhere...!
"It's Amy! Sorry, Voice, I'll talk to you later."
Okay. Bring me a soda from the kitchen! Said Voice
Sonic ran down the stairs, actually joining in the doorbell dog pile. He managed to Get Knux to let go of his arm, when Komodo smacked him with a frying pan. He managed to weasel out from under the immense weight of six people, and opened the door.
"Hi, Am- ...oh." Sonic said, depressed. It was just the pizza delivery. He looked up at the delivery person. NO! IT COULDN'T BE! BUT IT WAS!
"YOU!" Sonic shouted, pointing to the delivery person. He couldn't believe it!
IT WAS SEPHIROTH!
Sonic stood speechless, pointing at Sephiroth and gaping, disgusted and shocked. Sephiroth stood there looking confused. He shrugged, and handed the pizza to the little blue hedgehog.
"That'll be five bucks." He said. Komodo walked to the door with a giant jar of pennies.
"There 'err 500 exactly. I counted." Komodo said proudly. Zoz got up from the dog-pile, and saw Sephiroth.
"SEPHIE!" She shouted, running after him.
"YIPE!" Exclaimed Sephiroth, running away. Sonic still stood there, pointing and gaping. Komodo shrugged, put down the jar of pennies, and took the pizza from Sonic.
"And people call Amy a fan girl." Komodo muttered under her breath to Sonic.
"Dinner is served!" Announced Komodo, putting the pizza on the table. Sonic sighed, and walked to his room.
He wasn't hungry.
He sat on his bed, fingering the envelope and torn-up letter. He looked at Amy's picture, then at the clock. Amy was usually home before now. He sighed, and lay back down. Maybe she just got lost or something... Naww, you can't get lost in Oakshire, you can always see the giant oak tree and determine where you are. He looked to the window, and walked over to it. He stared out, at the grassy yard, the big tree, (not as big as the one in the park, but still big) and long driveway. He sighed. Suddenly, the doorbell rang again. This time, Sonic didn't bother. He heard the usual smashes and profanities from the dog-pile, then heard the door open and Komodo say...
"Hi, Amy! What kept you so long?"
Sonic zoomed down the stairs and ran to Amy. Amy, at the sight of Sonic, hid a bag behind her back. Sonic was suspicious.
"Hi, Ames," he murmured, distracted. What was in the bag? He decided to ask. "What's in the bag, Ames?"
"Oh, nothing... just some old junk, and... ...Well, you know... stuph." Said Amy, backing towards the stairs. Sonic tried to see what was in the bag. Amy backed away again.
"Where were you all day?" He asked. Amy looked away.
"Oh, just at a friend's house..." She said. She, still keeping the bag behind her back, turned to Tails, who was still in the dog pile. "I heard you went to the post-office, was there anything for me?" She asked. Sonic gulped. She was expecting a letter? Tails looked up.
"Nope."
"No? That's funny..." Amy said. She looked kind of disappointed. "Oh well. See you in a minute, Sonic!" She said, giving Sonic a quick kiss on the cheek, then turning and running up the stairs. On the inside, Sonic panicked and worried, even more depressed that Amy was being so calm about it... He walked up the stairs. Maybe if he talked to her.
(Amy's point of view.)
Amy sighed as she closed the door behind her. She was lucky that Sonic didn't guess what she was up to yet. She put the bag, full of decorations, on her bed and took a deep breath. She wondered... did Sonic know? He was acing like he was suspicious of something. She hoped that Tails and the others hadn't spilled the beans. Sonic couldn't find out yet! It would ruin the surprise!
(Sonic's point of view.)
Sonic walked up the stairs. Maybe he should just tell her he knew. What else could he do, really? He sighed and walked to her door. He raised a hand to knock, but paused... then knocking anyway.
Amy's point of view)
Amy heard someone knock on the door.
"Who is it?" She asked.
"Sonic." Answered Sonic. (EEP!) Amy quickly threw the decorations under the bed, hoping she hadn't broken anything. She then looked around; making sure there was no more evidence of her diabolical plan to surprise Sonic, went to the door and opened it.
"Hi, Sonic!" She said, trying to look innocent. "I said I'd see you in a minute... couldn't wait that long, could ya?" She joked, giving him another kiss on the cheek. Sonic tried to smile. He walked inside the room.
(YIKES! Now I know he suspects something!) Amy thought to herself. (What should I do?) Examining her options, she decided to make conversation.
"So... what's up?" She asked. Sonic turned around. He looked sad.
"I- ...Amy, no matter what, I just want you to know that I love-"
"PIZZA!" Screamed Komodo. "It's going fast, guys, get your butts down here!" Amy sighed. An opportunity for escape!
"Well, let's go!" She said, taking Sonic's hand and running down the stairs. Sonic followed, not wanting to look any weirder than he already did.
Sonic ate even if he didn't feel like it, and Amy was constantly on his mind. Her head rested on his shoulder and she quietly munched on a slice of pizza. Normally Sonic would be worried by the odd glances coming from Knux, Shadow, Tails... well, everyone, but for now he had his mind on other things. After dinner, Zoz came back from chasing Sephiroth to no avail but did manage to take his sword. She and Komodo then started a scary movie in the living room, and everyone came to watch.
"Hey, Sonic, aren't you coming?" Amy asked, smiling up at him. "Come on, you aren't afraid of a little scary movie, are ya?" She joked. Sonic forced a smile.
"Yeah, that's it... exactly... I- I'm going to bed."
"Oh, come on... I'll protect ya." Amy laughed, grabbing Sonic in a hug. He sighed. She didn't act like she was being a traitor. He wondered... Could he just forget all about this? For just one night? If this was the last night he had Amy for his own, he was going to enjoy it.
"Okay... I'll come." Sonic said. Amy laughed and they both headed to the living room.
For the rest of the evening, Sonic forced himself to forget entirely about the letter. he watched the scary movie with Amy, -something like Franken-fish or whatever. (Unfortunately it was set in the bayou, and there was lots of swimming... and...) Sonic often had to bury his face into Amy's hair, to avoid the awful terror of water. (Sonic didn't care if Knuckles gave him odd looks.) And Amy would smile in response, and stroke his quills, and he would calm down. Finally, the movie was over, but Sonic wasn't too sure if he could sleep. The movie, (which wouldn't be too spooky for you and me) terrorized Sonic. For example, let's say you were seriously afraid of clowns. Stop laughing, seriously afraid of clowns. Like, you watched one kill your pet dog or run someone over in a car, or something. Then you watched Sesame Street's clown special. Only evil, and with chainsaws. You would feel the same way. So, Sonic shakily walked up the stairs and went into his room, only to sit wide-awake on the bed, staring into space, afraid of evil, giant fish. After a while, Amy noticed the light was still on in his room... she knocked on the door.
"EVIL FISH!" Sonic shouted, hiding in the closet.
"No, Sonic, it's me!"
"Amy?" Sonic asked, coming out of the closet, a sock on his ear. He walked to the door, and opened it.
"Are you having a hard time getting to sleep?" She asked. Sonic shook his head.
"N-no! I- I'm fine."
"Fish."
"OH MY GOD, WHERE?" He shouted, clinging to Amy. Amy laughed and hugged him.
"See. Hmm, maybe I was wrong to get you to watch that movie."
"I second that motion!" Said Sonic, still clinging to her.
Amy laughed, and led him back to his bed. She managed to get Sonic to sit back down, but he still clung to her. (Hey, fish are SCARY, MAN!) She sighed, and sat next to him.
"Would it help if sang you a lullaby?"
"No."
"Could I try anyway?"
"No."
"Are you afraid of fish?"
"No- HEY, WAIT A-"
"Then our problem's solved!" Amy said, giving Sonic a kiss. The blue hedgehog moaned piteously and leaned into Amy. She was warm... it was... nice... Amy chuckled lightly to herself. She again stroked Sonic's quills. He relaxed a little. "You okay now?" She asked, forcing the little blue hedgehog to look up at her. Sonic nodded. Amy smiled, giving him another tight embrace. "Good night, Sonic." She said, gently pushing Sonic onto his back, standing to leave, turning off the light and closing the door on her way out. Sonic sighed, and started to relax... Knowing Amy was just down the hall, Sonic slept easy, having no nightmares of evil Sephiroth fish whatsoever.
