"Are you ready?" Scourge asked me, taking his hand out of his pocket so I could hold it.

"Yes," I smiled, taking his hand.

He opened the door for me, allowing me to go out first while he closed the door behind him.

As we do every Friday night, we were on our way to go out to dinner with Sonic and Litsa. I don't think Scourge and Litsa like it very much, Sonic and I always end up talking to each other, forgetting they're there, and they never talk to each other, so they sort of just sit there awkwardly. I don't mean to exclude them, it's just so easy to get so lost in a conversation with Sonic. We could talk about anything for hours, and wouldn't even realize it.

Scourge opened the car door for me, I smiled, thanking him. I jumped into his huge black truck, and he closed my door. He quickly zipped over to the driver's side, and climbed in, as well. He started the truck, and began driving to our usual restaurant.

"So," Scourge looked at me for a second, trying to start up a conversation.

"So?" I didn't know what to say. Honestly, I almost never did. Neither did he. Things were usually pretty quiet between the two of us.

I heard him sigh. We were pulling into the parking lot of the restaurant. Sonic and Litsa were waiting for us outside. I guess Scourge knew what to expect of tonight. Sonic and I talking, while him and Litsa are left out of the entire conversation, awkwardly. I'd have to try to include them somehow.

Before I could reach the handle of the truck to open the door, it was already open, thanks to Sonic, who was standing on the ground, smiling. "Hey Amy," he greeted.

"Hi Sonic!" I jumped out of the truck and gave him a big hug. Even though I saw him just a few hours ago at school, it felt like I hadn't seen him in days.

"Missed me, huh?"

I laughed, winking, "yes, I thought I was going to die!"

I heard Scourge clear his throat. I let go of Sonic, and turned to face him. He was standing beside his truck, with Litsa.

"Sorry," I let out a small, awkward laugh.

Sonic chuckled along with me, taking Litsa's hand. "Let's eat!" he said, opening the restaurant doors for Litsa.

She quietly thanked him before walking through the doors.

Scourge took the door from Sonic, holding it open for me.

Woah. Scourge rarely opens doors for me. He must feel threatened by Sonic. I thanked him, walking in behind Sonic.

"Table for four?" I heard an unfamiliar voice ask. I looked in front of Sonic and Litsa to see a yellow mongoose with purple hair. She was wearing her black pants with a little waitress apron and a white shirt.

"Yes," Sonic replied.

The purple-haired mongoose led Litsa, Sonic, Scourge and I to a booth at the back of the restaurant. I slid in the booth closest to he back wall. Scourge sat beside me, Sonic across from me, and Litsa diagonal, beside Sonic.

"I'm Mina and I'll be your server for tonight. Can I start you guys off with anything to drink?"

"I'll have the usual," Sonic said.

"I'm sorry... what's your usual?"

I couldn't help but laugh. I knew Mina was new from the second I heard her voice. Clearly Sonic is a little blind and deaf, or just plain stupid.

He shot me a look that said "shut up."

I heard Litsa silently giggle along with me.

Of course, Sonic smiled at her and whispered something which sounded like "you are so cute."

Mina cleared her throat, grabbing everyone's attention.

"Sorry," Sonic mumbled. "I'll just have water."

"I'll have what you have," Scourge said.

"I ditto him," I looked at Sonic.

"Me too," Litsa agreed.

"Four waters... Coming up!" Mina set her little notepad in her waitress apron, and walked away.

"I'm gonna go outside and get some fresh air for a minute. I'll be back," Litsa gave Sonic a quick kiss on the cheek, and walked outside.

"I think I'll join her," Scourge said, standing up, "I could really go for a cigarette."

"Alright," I said as he walked off.

"So, when did Scourge start smoking?" Sonic said, setting his arms on the table.

"He... doesn't?" I scrambled to get out of the booth. "Why," I whispered.

Sonic, being Sonic, got out of his booth in a flash, and ran towards the doors to go outside. I heard his voice yell "Get off of her!"

I got outside a second later, watching as Sonic stood defensively in front of Litsa. Scourge was in Sonic's face, growling.

"Wh-what's going on?" I stuttered. What did Scourge do?

Sonic looked at me, his facial expression made me quite afraid. He looked worried. Sad. Angry. Confused. It was too much.

I looked over at Scourge who looked like he as about to burst into flames. He didn't break his stare on Sonic.

"I'll explain later. Let's just get outta here," Sonic said, carefully walking over to me, keeping Litsa behind him protectively. He put his arm around me, and led Litsa and I to his car.

"You keep your hands off her," Scourge said, suddenly in front of us.

With a swift movement, Sonic pushed me behind him. "You're not getting anywhere near her."

"She's mine," Scourge growled again.

"Not after what you just did!"

The secrecy was driving me insane. "What happened?" I whispered to Litsa.

She shook her head, too interested in Scourge and Sonic to answer me.

I sighed. Was I ever going to get an answer?

"Give her to me!" Scourge shouted, trying to get by Sonic to get to me.

Before Scourge could get close to me, Sonic had shoved him down onto the ground. "Here," he threw me his car keys, "get in the car. Now. Lock the doors and wait for me."

As confused as I was, I didn't want anything to happen, so I ran with Litsa to Sonic's car. I pressed the automatic unlock button that was on a black device, hanging on his ring of keys. I jumped in the back seat while Litsa sat in the front.

As soon as the doors were shut, I locked the car. I couldn't help but feel scared. I wasn't getting answers, and Scourge was acting crazy, it was scary. It felt like I was in some sort of horror movie and Scourge was the killer.

Suddenly Sonic knocked on the window.

I unlocked the car for him. He climbed in and put his hand out, "keys." I set the keys in his hand and he started the car.

After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, Sonic pulled into Litsa's driveway.

"Litsa, I have to stay with Amy tonight. I'm -"

"It's fine. She'll need you," Litsa gave him a quick peck on the lips before opening the door.

"I'll see you tomorrow," he shouted after her, before she closed the door. She nodded, heading into the house.

I awkwardly climbed up to the seat which was not empty. "What happened?"

"I'll explain when we get to your place. Be patient."

I sighed, giving up. He clearly wasn't going to tell me.

After a few more minutes of silence, he finally pulled into my driveway, cutting off the engine. We opened our doors, got out, and closed our doors at the same time. He followed me as I walked up to the door, and unlocked it. I ran up the stairs, into my room and sat down on my bed, not wanting to wait any longer to hear what had happened.

"Start talking," I said as Sonic walked in the door.

He sighed as he sat down beside me. "You're not going to like this."

"I still want to know."

"Alright," he took in a deep breath. "Well..."

A/N: hehehe. Aren't I mean, ending it there... :p
