Its a quiet Saturday in Mobius, in a quiet neighborhood, in a quiet house in a quiet room.
The quiet drove her nuts. She hates it.
"I HATE QUIET!" She chants out. She was a young light Blue hedgehog. Usually dressed in black and red. Then she heard a faint song.
Despite the lies that your making
your love is mine for the taking
my love is just waiting
to turn you tears to roses
She looks out her window to see a grey hedgehog playing his guitar on his patio.
"He's a looker." She says to herself.
The young grey hedgehog just moved in to the neighborhood.
He is the only new thing there.
"Mom i'm going to introduce myself to the new neighbors." She says running out the door.
She hears the music getting louder but its different.
need to be bold
need to jump in the cold water
need to grow older with a girl like you.
She knocked on the white wooden patio.
"Hello?" She yells.
"Come on up there's no gate!" He yells back.
She walks up slowly and THERE.
She looks at him his tanned arms and muzzle. Those slick long quills.
"UH. H-Hi i'm Angel Paradise. Who are you?" She asks nervously.
He smiles sweetly and says "My name is Slate T. hedgehog the 1st." in a royalty type tone.
Angel giggles a bit and says "Funny name."
"HOW?" He says jokingly. "Your a Rock." She giggles more.
He smiles and chuckles.
He puts his guitar against the wall and taps the seat next to him on the outdoor couch.
She walks over and he says "Sit."
She sits next to him and he grabs a can from the cooler next to him.
"Soda?" He asks.
"Yes, please."She says.
"Hey, this seems short noted but me and my pals Sonic and Tails and there girlfriends are coming over for scary movie night and...Well."
"Yes?" She says slowly.
"Wanna go with me?...NOT LIKE A DATE but you know to get to know each other. I mean I don't want to spend my life here thinking who the hell is she she is kinda cu-"He covers his mouth before he finishes.
"Yes i would love too." She says.
about 2 hours later at 6:00PM
" Mom, i'm gonna be sleeping at a friends house. Don't wait up!" She says.
"Okay Hun, have fun." Her Mom says.
"Don't you wonder were she goes?" Her Dad says to her Mom.
"She is with that nice boy across the street."
"We don't know him."
"Well she does Frank."
With Angel.
She hums and skips across the street like a little school girl.
She walks up the patio door and finds Slate reading a book.
"Watchya Reading?" She asks slowly.
"Atlas shrugged." He says.
"Can you read some to me?"
"Yea sit next to me." He past the seat next to him.
She snuggles up to him and sighs in relief.
"Okay. Go"
"Walking through a crumbling downtown Manhattan, Eddie Willers wonders why the world is in such a dilapidated state. He comes upon a bum, who asks him "Who is John Galt?"After an unsuccessful discussion with Orren Boyle regarding yet another late order of steel, he returns to the Taggart Transcontinental Building in order to tell James Taggart the bad news about an unfulfilled steel order and another train wreck. His intent is to make Taggart see the desperate state of Taggart Transcontinental and the importance of the Rio Norte Line, which services one of the only remaining successful businesses in the world of Atlas Shrugged. After a bunch of invectives against successful businesses, Taggart shoos him away. Walking out, Eddie passes by Pop Harper, who complains in vain that the new typewriters cannot compare with the old ones." He reads out loud.
"Strange" She says. "So a lot of train wrecks happened?"
"Yep"
"Hmm"
She grabs his hand and starts tracing her finger on the length of his arm.
"Lets go inside." Slate says.
"Yea, lets."
