!HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONIC!
Chapter 2
"Hey Zi? Where are we going?" I asked as we randomly walked around Mobius, "Cuz I'm tired…" I added. The pink (I still think it's strawberry blond) cat just kept on going, her pink steel toed boots making slight squishing noises from her impromptu swim in the pond as her wet, blond hair and pink tail swayed in the wind. I pushed my wet, red hair out of my face and continued on, hearing my own red sneakers make squishing noises as well. "You're always tired Ed," Zi replied before sitting down on a nearby rock and untying her boots. She poured the water out then rung out her socks while I sat down on the ground and did the same. Zi looked over at me then sighed while retying her boots, "Just wait Edward. We'll go find a place to sleep after we eat," she said. "Ugh… I absolutely hate Eggman, or Dr. Robotnik, whatever he's calling himself nowadays," I replied as we stood up and dusted ourselves off before continuing on our way, "If it weren't for him we could be drinking some nice warm tea and we'd have a blow dryer or something to dry us off," I finished, crossing my arms.
"What can I get for ya?" the waitress asked while chewing bubblegum. "Um… I'll have an order of French Toast and an order of chicken with the chopped potatoes, but could I have the potatoes baked in olive oil. Also, could I have the chicken and potatoes to go please? And to drink I'll have a cup of hot tea" Zi said before handing the menu over to the waitress who took it after writing everything down. "I'll have cheesy fries with a side of ranch. A twice baked potato with green onions instead of chives, and no sour cream. And a really big barbeque covered steak to go. I'll have a cup of hot tea to drink," I said passing the waitress my menu. Zi gave me a look, "What? I'm hungry. Beating Robots gives me an appetite. Besides I'll walk it off before we even find a place to stay," I told her once the waitress was out of earshot. "Whatever Ed, it's still unhealthy," Zi commented as she leaned her head on her hand and gazed around uninterestedly. "So you've told me," I replied as the waitress brought us our drinks then walked away again, "So what was the deal with Dr. Finitevus? He appeared out of nowhere and was watching the fight then he came up behind you and scared the crap out of us. I swear that man makes no sense…" I added thoughtfully. "I don't know. Why did he grab me in the first place? Why couldn't he grab you?" Zi asked with a frown. "I don't know why. Go ask him if you're so curious," I said with a smirk. "You're the one that brought it up!" she hissed back at me, "and while we're on it, why did you hit me with a tomato then push me into the water?" "First off, I didn't throw it at you I threw it at Dr. F. Second, you said to get it off, which I did. Third, why does it matter? Is kitty scared of water? Well you can swim so get over it," I replied before the waitress walked over with our food.
After we paid and left the diner with our extra food in a bag- as punishment I had to carry the bag- we started looking around town for a place to stay for the night. We turned a corner and suddenly Zi was on the ground, I looked around and saw that she had hit head first into none other than Sonic. "Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you alright?" he asked helping Zi up off the ground. Zi looked up at him and blushed, "Oh… um… sorry, that was Ed's fault she was distracting me and I was the one looking for where we need to go, she should have been watching where I was going…." She babbled on to him. "Hey!" I complained then I huffed when I noticed they were ignoring me. "So, what were you two looking for?" Sonic asked. "Oh it's nothing. Don't worry about it," Zi said. "Maybe he can help us," I suggested. "Yeah I'll help you. What are you looking for?" Sonic asked eagerly. "No thank you we'll be fine," Zi said before walking away with a slight limp. "We're looking for a place to stay. We're…um… too far away from home, so we don't know any of the places around here," I quickly told him as I followed the slightly limping cat, "Hmm… I think you hurt her when you hit into her," I added. Sonic gave me a horrified look, "I hurt her?" he asked appalled, then he suddenly sped over to her and picked her up bridal style, "I insist that you stay at my house until you are completely healed," he stated before running off. "Wait for me!" I yelled before running after him.
"Nice house," I said as I followed Sonic up to the large blue and white house with a large green yard. "Can you put me down now?" Zi asked annoyed. "No," Sonic stated while walking inside then going upstairs, "You guys can have this room, it's connected to the other guest room, so you don't have share a room if you don't want to," he finished as he set Zi on the nice queen sized bed. "That's a good idea, cuz I think Zi could have killed me in my sleep if we shared…" I replied. Zi glared at me, "Ok I'll let you two get settled in, um do you want me to put that bag in the fridge?" he asked pointing to our bag of food. "Oh um sure, thank you," I replied handing it over to him, Sonic smiled then left with a, "Goodnight ladies". "So shall we call it a night?" I asked turning to my pink kitty friend. "~Ohhhh Edward!~" Zi said in a singsong voice. "Ummm…. Night Zi!" I yelled before booking it to my temporary room. "It's not even dark yet!" Zi yelled. Suddenly I heard a door open downstairs and a female voice call, "Sonic? Honey I'm home." I opened my door and looked out to see Princess Sally get glomped by Sonic. "Hey Sall! I missed you! We ran into Egghead again today, don't worry though we beat him, well one of our guests did," he replied. I saw Zi's door open, I ran over and closed it before she could get it open while the two continued talking downstairs. "Move it Edward," Zi called from the other side before throwing the door open and knocking me over. She walked out and looked around then down the stairs just as Sonic passionately kissed Sally, then he pulled away and said, "I love you Sall". "I'm going to sleep now," Zi said walking back into her room and locking the door behind her. "Damm it," I silently cursed before walking into my room.
