Chapter two
Silver stood, staring out at the calming water, thinking over everything that had happened. He shook his head, trying to push back the flashes and just think about
Sylvia.
"I'll miss you."
He picked up a pebble and skipped it twice.
"I'll miss you too."
"SILVER!"
That voice… He looked up as a strange white hedgehog threw her arms around him.
After an awkward pause, she let go and slowly backed away, a confused look on her face.
"W—who are you?" He asked.
"You… you don't remember me, do you?" Her confusion turned to hurt as a group of hedgehogs, foxes, and an echidna came up behind her.
"No… Should I?"
A blue hedgehog stepped forward. "You don't remember any of us?"
Silver shook his head.
"Sonic," He pointed to himself, and then the others in turn. "Coal, Icefire, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Lizzy. You don't remember any of us?"
"No." Silver shook his head again. He was beginning to get irritated with this group. "I haven't met any of you before."
The white hedgehog's eyes began to well up with tears. "He… he doesn't remember me!"
"No, I don't." Silver said in an unfriendly tone of voice. "Can I get back to my own business now?"
Icefire burst into tears and ran to the back of the group.
"What's up with her?" Silver asked. "And how come you guys know me but I have no idea who you are?"
"To be honest," the echidna started, "I have no idea who you are. Well, I think I do, but still…"
"You're not helping, Knuckles!" Tails said.
"Hmph." He crossed his arms.
"I'll be on my way now." Silver started to walk away.
"Wait!" Sonic darted in front of him. "Why don't you stay with us for a while? Maybe you'll remember us after a little."
"I really got to go." He tried to walk past him, but Sonic blocked him again.
"Please, just stay for a day or two?"
Silver glanced at the rest of the group, all with a pleading expression on their face. Mentally shaking his head, he said, "I can't."
"Why?" The blue hedgehog tilted his head slightly.
"I uh… have things to do."
"C'mon, it's worth a shot."
Silver let out a sigh. "If I do, will you leave me alone afterwards?"
"It's a deal." Sonic stuck out his hand and grinned.
Sonic came through the door at that moment, his metal arm creaking, and plopped down on another sofa in the room.
Silver shook his head, trying to rid himself of the sudden image.
"It's a deal, right?" Sonic pushed his hand further forward.
"Uh… yeah." Silver shook it. "It's a deal."
