Silver's Special Someone
by ElvenAC14
One day, Blaze the Cat was walking through the woods to find her cousin, Silver the Hedgehog. It was a day everyone loves and hates, Valentine's Day. It was one of Blaze's favorite holidays and she wanted to share it with a close friend. She saw Silver sleeping in a tree and giggled. He was snoring in a cartoon-like fashion.
"Hey, Silver!" Blaze called.
Silver stirred and groaned before stretching his arms and legs. In the middle of his stretch though, the branch broke free and he fell into the bushes. He got up, leaves in his quills and a branch in his mouth.
He spit it out, "Hi, Blaze. How are ya?"
"Doing great, do you remember what today is?" Blaze beamed.
Silver shook his head, "No, actually."
"You must be still half asleep, it's Valentine's Day!"
"What?!" Silver shouted in surprise, but quickly covered his mouth. "Y-Yeah, now I r-remember…"
Blaze pulled out of her pocket a heart shaped red stone and smiled calmly. "I thought you would like this."
Silver was amazed, "But, that's your prized possession, the last firestone that came from your home. Are you sure?"
"Positive, not take it before I think otherwise." She winked. She was kidding at the last part.
Silver felt so happy, yet so sad. He did remember, but something has been troubling him. His ears lowered as he said in a somber voice, "Thank you, Blaze. This is…I don't know what to say. More than amazing, I can tell you that! I really appreciate it."
Blaze looked concerned, "Are you okay?"
Silver sighed, "Yeah, I…I have something for you too. I don't know if it'll be this amazing though."
"Oh, I'm sure it's good." Blaze said.
Silver flown back into the tree and brought back a flat, square present with dull-brown wrapping paper with a red streamer and bow.
"I don't think she'll like it…" Silver thought to himself. "If only I had enough money, I could have given her something better."
Blaze opened it up and gasped. It was a handmade purple journal, with a symbol that looked like a fire on the front (which was pink colored). It came also with a pink pencil that had white fluff on the eraser. The inside of the journal had a note. It read,
"Dear Blaze,
Thanks for all the adventures! I figured since I write some of my adventures in my journal, you would probably want to do the same. That way we can both look back at the memories we've shared and cherish our friendship, even when we are far away.
You are my cousin and you are also my friend. Thanks, for everything. Now go write a new adventure!
Your cousin,
Silver"
Blaze looked up at Silver, who was now sheepishly smiling. He stammered, "I-I- know it's not as amazing as a firestone, b-but-"
His words were cut off as a lavender cat rushed over and hugged him tightly. She said, "It's the best gift I ever received. Thank you, Silver!"
Silver smiled, "Your welcome."
All of a sudden, they heard a familiar voice and looked to find a pink hedgehog running franticly. She was carrying a Valentine card that was heart-shaped with blue letters saying, "To: Sonic the Hedgehog".
"Have you seen Sonic?" Amy asked.
"No, we haven't." Silver said.
"I think he maybe exercising at the moment, Amy." said Blaze.
"Shoot! I always miss him!" She huffed, but shrugged it off. She smiled, "Oh well, where's your special someone?"
Silver blushed, "Uh…what now?"
"Your special someone!" Amy insisted. "You know, roses, candy, and romance stuff!"
Silver paused, then laughed and laughed until his sides were sore and he was on the ground. "Ah-HA! HA! A-Amy! That's a good one! No, I don't have a special someone."
Amy was wide-eyed, "You don't have a special someone? I'm twelve and even I have one!"
"Meh, I'm just not interested. Besides, I don't know if I can get one anyway. Never thought of it, never cared." Silver walked away, waving at Blaze. "Bye!"
Blaze waved back, and then looked at Amy. She sneakily smiled, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Amy shook her head, "Nope. But what I am thinking is that we should find someone for Silver."
Blaze face-palmed and grabbed Amy's hand.
