By Felicity the Fox
In the beginning of chapter 1, Felicity is trying to pick out clothes, because Shadow is going to be at the meeting at Sonic's house. She doesn't know what the meeting is for, but she's going. She can't decide what to wear. She is supposed to meet Pepper and Alfred, her long lost cousin (for her anyway) at their house at 12:30. Please, review, don't flame.
Chapter 1:The Earthquake"No, too pink. No, too bright. No, too I-wish-I-were-anywhere-but-here." Felicity muttered to herself. "Ha, perfect, I don't know if Shadow's favorite color is blue, but mine is!" she said. (Actually, for real my favorite color is pink) She picked out a deep blue shirt with a turtle on it that said, 'Speed Demon.' Along with that she put on blue denim jeans with blue streams of velvet on the bottoms of the jeans and the pockets. "I love this out-fit. Now all I have to do is put on my makeup!" she said. Felicity doesn't usually wear makeup, but for Shadow, she will do anything. She heard a knock on her door. It was Pepper and Alfred.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" she asked. "I told him you would come soon, but he wouldn't listen to me." Said Pepper. She leaned over to Felicity and whispered, "He always has to be on time. It's so annoying." She said. "What are you talking about? Wasn't I supposed to go to your house?" she questioned. "Yes," Alfred said. "Well, then, what are you two doing here?" she asked. "You were supposed to be at our house at 12:30!" Alfred said. "Well, what time is it now?" she asked. "At the moment, it is 12:33!" he said. Felicity stared at him. "What?" he asked. "I told you he has to be on time," said Pepper. "Alfred, 12:33 and 12:30. What's the difference?" asked Felicity. "Difference? What's the DIFFERENCE you ask?!" he said. "Three minutes is the DIFFERENCE!" he yelled. "The meeting starts at 1:00. We have plenty of time. Besides, that gives me time to put on my makeup," she said. "You don't usually wear makeup, do you?" questioned Pepper. "Well, no, but Shadow is going to be at the meeting." She said. "Sh-Sh-Shadow?" said Pepper. "Yes," she said.
"Could I borrow some makeup?!" Pepper said quickly. "Sure," said Felicity. "You guys better be out here at 12:45. And I mean 12:45!" said Alfred. "Alright Al," Felicity and Pepper said in unison. They went inside. "I can't believe I'm finally going to meet him!" said Pepper. "Who?" asked Felicity. "Sh-Shadow," said Pepper. "Why can't you just say his name without stuttering?" Felicity questioned. "Well, because. I feel like he's royalty, and that I should bow down to him. It would be great if he was my boyfriend." She said. She got a blank look on her face, and started to daydream. The vision in her eyes got all white, and she saw her wonderful boyfriend Shadow come home. "Hi sweetie," said Pepper. "Hey baby," Shadow said. Shadow picked her up, kissed her, and then gave her roses. Her vision got white again, and she heard Felicity. "Pepper? Pepper!" she said. "Snap out of it!" "Yeah, that would be great." Pepper said, coming back to the real world. They put on their makeup and went outside.
By the time they got outside, it was 12:46. Alfred was gone. Felicity and Pepper laughed. "Well, I guess we better go now." Said Pepper. "Yeah," Felicity said. They started to walk to Sonic's house. When they arrived, Sonic greeted them. "Hey Sonic, what's up?" Pepper and Felicity said in unison. "Not much," he said. "Is Al here yet?" they asked. "Ya, he's inside, but he seemed angry. He was cussing under his breath." He said. Pepper and Felicity just laughed. They walked inside and sat next to Alfred. He grunted at them. "O.o," replied Felicity and Pepper. "-.-," Alfred replied. "Oh Al, lighten up, will ya?" Pepper said. "He reached behind him and turned on the overhead lamp. "Happy? I'm all lit up!" he said. "-.-," they said. "He makes really lame jokes!" Felicity whispered to Pepper. "Well think about how I feel! I live with the guy! I hear those jokes all the time!" she said. Pepper remembered the time Alfred had asked her if the refrigerator was running. She had said that it was, and he said she should go catch it.
"Ok people, let's get this party started." Said Sonic. Felicity looked at Alfred, he was staring at Sonic. She looked at Pepper, and she was fixated on Shadow. "He's so... dreamy!" Pepper said. "Pepper, are you still with me?" Felicity asked. "o.o," Pepper said. Felicity looked over at Shadow. He was focused on Sonic, but every few seconds he glanced at Pepper, looking afraid of her. Felicity would also look that way if someone were staring at her like that. Knuckles was trying to dig something out of his nose. When he fished something out, Felicity decided not to watch what he would do next. Felicity took a glance at Tails. "o.-," he said to Felicity. Then he blew her a kiss.
"Hey. HEY!" Sonic shouted. "Everybody pay attention!" he said. As soon as he said this everyone stopped what they were doing. Pepper even took her attention away from Shadow and put it on Sonic. "First of all, where the heck is Rouge?" Sonic said. "I'm here," Said Rouge. Everybody looked at the door where Rouge was standing. "I was busy helping Charmy get out of a tree. He was stuck." She said. Shadow looked at Rouge. "o.o," he said. "-.-, yes, hello Shadow," she said. "H-hi," Shadow stuttered. Pepper was glaring at Rouge. Felicity guessed it was because Shadow was looking at Rouge like she was the green chaos emerald. "Hey Shadow. Shadow! Shadow!" said Knuckles. "Huh? What?" Shadow said. "Why is that bat looking at you?" Knuckles asked. "I'm not entirely sure, but it's definitely scaring me." He whispered. "Is anybody else hungry but me?" Alfred asked. "Yes!" everyone said in unison. Sonic went to the kitchen and grabbed a bowl of potato salad that he and Knuckles had made. "I hope you all like potato salad," Sonic said. "Got any bacon?" Pepper asked. "Why?" Alfred asked. "Because, bacon good!" Pepper said. Everyone stared at her. At that moment, Charmy flew in and accidentally landed in the bowl of potato salad. When he tried to get out, he tipped the bowl over. "Way to go buddy. It took us three days to make that potato salad. THREE DAYS!" Knuckles yelled. Tears welled up in Charmy's eyes. ".," Charmy said. "S-s-sorry." He said. "Now we're going to starve to death!" Knuckles said dramatically. Charmy flew away. "I went to college!" he said as he flew out the door. "Hey, Sonic, why are we here? I just came because Felicity and Al were going, but they don't even know what we're here for." Pepper said. "Well, you know, I just got kind of, well... lonely." Sonic said. Everybody groaned at this response. "So we came here for nothing?" Shadow said, sounding very irritated. "Well I can't help it that-"Sonic said, but he was cut off buy a violent rumbling sound. All of a sudden, the house started to shake. Charmy flew right back into the house after the shake. "W-what's going on?!" Charmy said. "I don't know!" Felicity said, as she ran over to Tails and he held on to her. "I love you Felicity and if I die I just want you know that in about 2 years, if we were still together, I would marry you!" Tails said. "o.o," everyone said in unison, considering that Tails screamed at the top of his lungs when he said that. "Tails, d-d-do you mean that?" Felicity asked. "Yes!" he said, as he pulled her into a kiss. "HEY! We have a crisis here and you guys are making out!" Knuckles said. "Well why don't we-wait a second, where are Shadow and Pepper?" Sonic said. Everybody looked over in a corner. When the earthquake occurred, Sonic's entire wall had fallen right in front of Pepper and Shadow.
