Chapter Four: Croissant?
"Ok Marine, you've had your fun. Let me out!" Tails banged against the electric bubble concealing him as he glared at the raccoon, who was, of course, in hysterics, refusing to push the off button on the C.F.G.
"Yer look loike a hamster mate! In yer cute little ball." She continued to giggle, now almost tearing up with laughter. She was laughing so loudly that she couldn't hear her phone ringing in the other room.
--
"Hmm." Back in the forest, Blaze flipped her phone down, then turning to Silver. "Marine's not answering, I wonder what she's doing."
"Use your inituitive and guess." The hedgehog grinned at her and winked.
"They're what, twelve?" the cat raised an eyebrow. That shut him up, atleast until she continued, "I guess we have to wait for Sonic." Silver nodded in agreement.
--
"Amy, look-" Sonic caught up to Amy, who was leant against a tree crying, she immediatley saw him and began to run away, he was infront of her in a flash though.
"Now's not the time, Sonic." Amy looked down, tears still in her eyes.
"Hey, when you're as fast as me, time is somethin' ya have plenty of." Sonic grinned and ran out of sight in a flash, he came back in about two seconds, with a paper bag in his hand and wearing a beret with the french flag on it. "Croissant?" He handed the bag to her, she turned it down, but still giggled slightly, until he turned serious once again. "I'm sorry, but I'm with Blaze."
"But I thought we-"
"No. 'We' never existed."
"But I...I lo-"
"Don't. Y'know what?" He kindly put his hand on her shoulder, "True love is easily confused with true friendship. You'll find someone."
Amy nodded, almost like a child being told off, "Ok." she squeaked, Sonic smiled at her as she walked away. He then guessed at the direction that he came from, and took off for Blaze and Silver.
--
"Do you smell croissant?" Blaze sniffed the air as her nose picked up the strange aroma."
"What's a croissant?" Silver blinked and shrugged, "Sounds like a religion. Oh no that's Christian..."
"What are you babbling about?" Sonic's voice came from behind Silver, making him jump, he then grinned as he saw the paper bag in the blue hedgehog's hand.
"Ooh! Food!" He tried to snatch it off him, but Sonic was too quick for him, he was already next to Blaze.
"Mine! I'll eat it later."
Blaze looked above Sonic's head and grinned a little, "Why have you got a beret on your head?"
"I dunno. It looks cuter on you." He squashed the hat into her hair playfully, she left it on though to his delight, rising above it.
--
"Ok! It's been half a bloody hour! Atleast gimme some of that sandwich!" Tails had given up, sat down with his head against the forcefield.
"Isch legh yoo ouche ish yoo ash noischley." Marine swallowed the last part of her sandwich, "I mean oi'll let you out if yer ask noicely."
"I'm not giving in to you." The vulpine folded his arms in a huff.
"Fair enough, what else 've yer got in yer fridge?"
While Marine was feasting on whatever was in Tails' refridgerator, Sonic, Silver and Blaze arrived, Sonic grinned as he set his eyes on Tails.
"Finally got that containment shield thingy working did you?"
"Evidently, yes." Tails stood up and ordered him: "Get the darn remote off of Marine for goodness' sake!"
"Marine!" Blaze shouted for the raccoon, who came out of the kitchen, looking down and shuffling her feet. "Give me the remote, Marine."
"Buggery... foine." Marine gave her the remote, thinking it best not to annoy her.
Tails dived away the second that the forcefield was deactivated, diving at the vastly suprised blue hedgehog's hand and snatching his paper bag away from him.
"Hey! That's my croi-!" Nope, it was too late. Sonic's beloved croissant was already somewhere in Tails' gullet.
"I'm not hungry anymore." Tails announced proudly to the infuriated hedgehog.
"Can someone tell me what a croissant is?!" Silver piped up, getting annoyed about the feeling of being dumb.
"Yeah, tell me too!" Marine agreed.
Blaze was stood a few feet away, glaring at each and every one of her 'friends', she was thinking one thing: 'I'm surrounded by idiots...'
--
"Ugh...Sonic?"
"What, Blaze?"
"Are you awake?"
"...No."
"Yes you are."
"Oh. How could you tell?" Sonic sat up and rubbed his eyes, the two were lay in a large, tall tree near the top, they were partly lay on two parallel branches and partly in the small cave that Sonic had carved into the tree with his spin dash. He looked at Blaze who was still lay down next to her, her amber eyes were lit up slightly and she was radiating heat. "What's up? It's still dark."
"I'm... I'm uncomfortable. This wood's too hard."
Sonic raised an eyebrow, "What'd you expect? It's wood."
"It's hard wood. I'm not used to sleeping like this like you are."
"I'll borrow a pillow off of Tails tommorow, well, late today, it must be two am. Come here." He manoevered his arm around her and pulled her head onto his chest.
"What're you doing?"
"C'mon," Sonic grinned, "it's softer than wood, plus you're really warm."
Blaze sighed, it as pretty soft, so she put her arm over him, letting her head rest on his chest. She then blushed as a purr slipped out.
"Aww, is kitty happy?" Sonic laughed quietly as he began to stroke behind her ear.
"Stop that!" She snarled, heating up suddenly.
"Ok." Sonic stopped immediatley, fearing that she might accidentally set the tree on fire, he kissed her on her head, "Ok, sleep now."
Around the same time that this was happenning, Marine and Tails were suddelny awoke from their sleep as a horrific scream could be heard from downstairs:
"AAARGH F*$!"
"Silver! What's wrong!?" Tails was downstairs like a bolt of lightning and came to see the cobalt hedgehog on the floor, rubbing his backside.
"Why do you leave sharp objects everywhere!? I fall off the couch once and I have a wrench up my ass!"
Tails rolled his eyes, and motioned for Marine to go back upstairs, she did so and he turned to Silver, "You don't have to stay."
"Well maybe I'll leave!" Silver and Tails came nose to nose.
"There's the door!"
They both paused for a few moments, until Silver's face softened, "I'll be good." he returned to the couch with his tail between his legs.
"What was up with him?"
Tails looked at Marine as he climbed into the bed next to hers, "Let's just say I'm gonna need a new wrench."
I don't think that this has been my best chapter to date, particularly towards the end, but it's come out ok, you've got the basic sleeping arrangements and where they all are and whatnot.
I'm thinking there may be some more action next chapter, but I'm not sure, I really need to plan these stories.
Oh, and about that poll... I'm still thinking of ideas for the OC, I've had a few ideas - all crap - so I'm still thinking about that, I'm getting a slight writers block but that'll probably go once the action kicks in, if it does. I've just realised I'm babbling on so I'm just gonna end this by saying thanks for reading!
