I think it's only fair to warn you: I'm launching this story straight towards an AU world because I don't know that much about the Sonic the hedgehog universe as I'd like. So if this story seems…off to you guys at all, just keep in mind I'm not as informed about the Sonic world as you are. Thanks for understanding!
Anyway, so I've been debating this for story a while and now I think I'm ready to write it. It will start off as just the first chapter and if you guys like it, I'll continue.
Also, thank you to Twin-books, who encouraged me to write this! You guys should really check out some of her stories. Thanks for the cover, Twin! This chapter's dedicated you! :)
Enjoy the first chapter!
Okay, so I'm in total freak-out mode! I'm sitting at a table, in a fairly-known casual restaurant, next to the bright sun-lit window, and across the table from my one and only crush! And in case that wasn't enough of my girly freak-out and drama, I'm also covered in lemonade and waiting for my crush to tell me something important. You know…
After he's done helping me clean up my jeans and laughing at my cherry-red embarrassed face (hey, he may have not laughed in my face, but I could swear he was laughing on the inside, it was just like him)!
I am totally and utterly embarrassed! There are no words in this dark, evil universe to describe even the extent of my embarrassment after ever cool-kid I've seen at my school starting pointing at me and laughing. And at that unfortunate moment, was when I realized I had somehow kneed my crush in the chin in all the commotion.
"Agh!" he cried, hands flying up to his chin. He stood up and started rubbing the sore spot, failing to realize that that only made the humiliation worse.
"Oh my goodness, Sonic! I am so sorry!" I cried, feeling guilty.
Okay, let me back up just a bit. It started on a Friday just as the last school bell rang, signaling us to leave. I remember talking to my three best BFFs on the face of the globe, Blaze Cat, Sally Acorn, and Cream Rabbit. They were the best string of friends anyone could ask for.
Blaze was absolutely gorgeous, with her perfectly trim lilac purple fur, her stunning bright golden eyes, and the red perfectly smooth gem on her head. Every boy she met wanted to impress her, but her answer was always no. Despite her obvious beauty, she cared nothing about her over-all looks, in fact she cared just enough about them to kept up her natural style. Her out-fit was similar every day, white comfortable lose pants, violate low-heels, and a lavender turtle-neck sweater (or purple T-shirt for those hot days, although heat never seemed to bother her). Blaze had the most intelligent voice on the planet, she was very smart, but the tone of her voice seemed to bold that fact. Her over-all personality was fiery 'spirit' and naturally caring.
Cream was the most adorable girl, in fashion, conversation, or otherwise. Cream had slightly tan fluffy fur with copper colored spots around her eyes, on her ears, and one atop her head; she had beautiful Cinnamon brown eyes, and long, (somehow) elegant ears wrapped with two little baby blue bows. A couple guys would just love to ask her out but they feared her mother (that's right, I said her mother), Cream lives with just her mother, Vanilla and her pet chao, Cheese, so when it comes to boys Vanilla steps in and takes the role of both a mother and a father. Cream's fashion sense was cute and totally jealous worthy (if you were competitive). Today she wore a sepia brown long sleeved top, sapphire blue jeans, sepia brown small fuzzy boots, and to top it all off? A baby blue silky belt tied around her jeans. Her over-all personality is kind, polite, and a bit oblivious. She was a year younger than the rest of us too.
Finally came Sally, she was beautiful, and she understood me more than Blaze or Cream, she was a great listener too. Her soft fur was mostly a mysterious Russet brown except for the fur on her head which was more of a royal maroon, she had sparkling royal blue eyes, and long black eyelashes. Most boys, after looking at her, couldn't work up the courage to ask her out. Her outfit was very stylish, long sky blue fuzzy boots, black jeans, a sky blue long-sleeved sweater, a chest length azure jacket with a silver zipper, and two bracelets on her right wrist (one black and one blue). Her over-all personality was understanding, sweet, and controlled.
The universe couldn't offer me better BFFs! seriously, they were the best! But after looking at them I start to wonder about myself. I have straight salmon pink fur, short loose quills, glowing jade green eyes, and long dark eyelashes. Around boys I think of myself as an eye-catcher, but nothing special, you know? My fashion is pretty simple, but it fits me. Today I'm wearing a red turtle neck sweater, copper loose pants, red winter boots, a red hairband, and copper bracelets on both my wrists. My over-all personality was kind, emotional, and centered. Also-according to my friends-I had very good facial expressions, they 'reflect my mood quite nicely,' or at least that's what Blaze keeps telling me.
"Hey BFFs!" I called out to them, waving my hand and walking toward them.
"Hey Amy!" They all replied in unison.
"So now that we have a whole weekend together, what should we do?" I asked them.
"How 'bout we go ice skating!" Cream offered, excited.
"That's a great idea." Sally agreed. I nodded my head in agreement. We all turned to Blaze who was holding her books and looking quite awkward at this moment. Her shoulders dropped a little and she gave us an apologetic look.
"I promised Silver I'd spend the weekend with him." She told us. "It's been a while and even if I asked Silver if he wants to come…I don't think he knows how to ice-skate." Okay, brief explanation: Silver has been Blaze's best friend since forever, three years ago she moved here from California, and away from Silver, they kept in touch, but it wasn't the same. Recently Blaze found out that Silver had also moved here, and now Blaze was determined to catch up with him.
"That's alright Blaze." Cream assured. "I'm sure we can think of something that all of us, including Silver, can do together."
"Yeah." I agreed. Sally nodded her head and smiled with my statement.
"Thanks guys." Blaze replied. "That's sweet of you."
"So what does Silver like?" Cream asked.
"Well," Blaze said. She tilted her head, looked up, and swished her tail, like she always did when she was thinking. "I know he likes the outdoors, he's a total sucker for puzzles, although he's not that good at them…don not tell him I said that!"
"We won't." Sally promised. Cream and I crossed are hearts to show we understood. By now we had walked out of the school building and onto field.
"Silver also likes jokes, movies…" Blaze continued. As the cat continued to list her friend's likes she failed to notice the silver-white hedgehog with five spiked quills sneaking up behind her. "Video games, hiking, and um…"
"Hugs," The silver-white hedgehog added. "I like hugs." Blaze smiled, turned around, and hugged Silver.
"You didn't tell me you'd be coming to see me after school." Blaze pointed out.
"I wanted to surprise you." He replied, with an irresistibly adorable goofy smile. Personally, I think Blaze considered Silver a little more than a friend, but it's just my opinion. Silver was cute, even with those weird spiked quills, in fact they perfected his look. He had golden eyes like Blaze and around them was a black ring affect, his snowy white chest fur peeked out of his shirt a bit, and I already told you about his silver-white fur. He wore long dark jeans, a black sweatshirt with electric blue bold letters on it spelling 'Cool', black and electric blue Nikes shoes, and a golden rubber bracelet that said…something (I couldn't exactly see it).
"Silver?" Blaze said with a smile, pulling away from their hug. "Meet my BFFs, Sally, Amy, and Cream!"
"Hi." Silver said. Then it suddenly got silent and awkward. Eventually someone had to break the silence and who better then Cream?
"So Silver?" Cream asked, as if this situation wasn't awkward at all. "Would you like to hang out with us this weekend?"
"Um…sure." Silver replied. I could tell he tell he wasn't very excited about him-one boy hanging out with us-four girls. I could completely understand, if I had been on the opposite end of a situation like this I probably wouldn't feel too thrilled about it either.
"You don't have to if you don't want to." Sally assured, obviously having sensed Silver's feelings too. I nodded my head along with Sally's statement.
"No, no, it's fine!" Silver insisted. "I'd love to hang out with you girls." Of course Blaze caught on to this, she was, after all, the smartest.
"No Silver," Blaze said. "You really don't have to, my friends won't mind if I spend one weekend with you." Blaze turned to us. "Right girls?"
"No." Cream replied with an encouraging smile. She had finally realized the awkwardness she'd created and turned a light pink because of it, or that could have been the cold getting to her.
"Absolutely not." Sally put in.
"Not at all." I agreed, with a limp smile (because this was a pretty awkward situation).
"Forget it." Silver pushed aside. "Besides, I'm sure with the four of you combined I'll get used to this place." He pulled up his sweatshirt's hood and marveled at how cold it was.
"Let's continue this at my house." Sally suggested. "It's getting pretty cold."
"Good idea." The rest of us agreed in unison, laughing at the result. Sally's place was the closest and the most comforting, in my opinion. We'd reached Sally's house and before we stepped inside Sally stopped us.
"My brother's visiting with Meg and Alexis, just to let you know." Sally informed. She turned to open the door when she remembered Silver and looked to him with a bashful smile. "My brother's name it Elias, he's married, Meg's his wife, and Alexis is their daughter." She briefed. Silver nodded his head in understanding. Sally opened the door and we all huddled inside.
"Hi sis!" greeted a man with maroon hair and bushy eyebrows (Elias), as we walked into the living room. "Hey Blaze, Amy, Cream, and…who's your new friend?" Elias suddenly got a pointed look, like he had something against Silver.
"Elias, this is Silver." Sally introduced. "Silver? Elias." Elias's pointed look disappeared and he held out his hand for Silver to shake.
"Oh, you must be Blaze's old friend." Elias assumed. Silver awkwardly shook his hand and smiled.
"Yep, sense we were young." Silver replied, proudly. "Nice to meet you."
"You as well." Elias agreed.
"Where's Meg and Alexis?" Sally asked.
"Alexis is sleeping and Meg's in the kitchen." Elias answered. "She was craving a snack."
"Okay, thanks!" Sally gestured for us to follow her into the kitchen, so we did. "Hey Meg!"
"Sally, Amy, Blaze, Cream!" A woman with dark brunette hair cried. "It so nice to see you!" the girls and I gave Meg a group hug. She looked at Silver and (if possible) her smile grew bigger. "Who's the new addition to your family tree?" Sense Sally, Blaze, Cream, and I acted like sisters Meg liked to pretend we had our own family tree and in it we actually were sisters.
"Meg, this is Blaze's friend Silver." Sally introduced.
"Hello Silver." Meg greeted.
"Hi." Silver replied. Meg smiled at us.
"So do you guys want some hot-chocolate?" she asked.
"Oh my goodness! Totally!" I cried.
"Absolutely!" Blaze added, licking her lips.
"That would be great!" Sally agreed.
"Yes please!" cried Cream.
"Uh, sure." Silver said with a shrug.
"What do you mean 'Uh, sure'?" Blaze asked.
"Yeah." Cream added, equally bewildered.
"Sure I'd like some." Silver said. All of us girls gave him confused looks.
"Boys." We all sighed, including Meg. Eventually we were sitting at the table enjoying our delicious hot-chocolate, some of us with marsh-mellows, some of us with lots of marsh-mellows (*cough* Silver *cough*), and some of us without marsh-mellows. Meg had decided she'd go check on Alexis and Elias.
"So about this hanging out matter…" Blaze said, suddenly making conversation.
"I have a great idea!" Cream cried. We all turned our attention to her. "What if we invite Sonic and his siblings?!" I instantly felt like lava at the name Sonic and it wasn't because of the hot chocolate. "They were so much fun to hang out with the last times, and plus Silver wouldn't feel so awkward."
"That is a great idea Cream!" Sally agreed. I didn't think it was so great.
"What do you think Silver?" Blaze asked. "Want to make some more friends?" I looked to him, desperately hoping he'd say something like 'yes' or 'I don't want to jump ahead too soon' because part of me wanted Sonic and crew to hang with us and part of me didn't.
"Why not." Silver told us with a smile. "I'd love to make some more friends."
"Then it's settled!" Blaze announced. "We'll invite Sonic and his siblings to hang with us."
"What should we do?" Sally questioned.
"I've got that figured out too." Cream told us excitedly. "We could have a winter picnic in the park!" Everyone besides me cheered with this idea. "And afterwards, we could make snow-angels and have an all-out snowball war!" Cream added, dramatically. I felted my face get hotter and I just wanted to hide in a corner and either cry or throw a fit of excitement.
"Snow-ball war?" Silver said with a sneaky smile. "I like that idea!" Boys are so competitive aren't they? Well girls are the same, but… you know what? Forget it.
"Finally!" Blaze cried. "A plan!" We all lifted our hot-chocolate mugs into the air and cheered. The rest of the time we talked about various things and laughed, but I wasn't paying attention. I was too busy thinking about Sonic.
I was going to spend a whole day…
With.
MY.
CRUSH! :D
I felt like I could fall back and die! I was so happy! But so nervous. What should I where? What should I say? What should I do?! But I was mostly happy imagining all the good things that could happen. And I daydreamed about it until it was time for all of us to head home.
So how was that? I'd love to hear your thoughts in a review! I hope this wasn't too bad. Please Read and Review.
This is my first Sonic fanfic! So, please take it easy on me!
