Shadesoflightanddark: I'm gonna be honest with ya. Yes, I am having fun, but my family has a slight problem. We never know what we're gonna do till the last minute. So, my down-time is… Well, honestly about 2-4 hours in one day… and I write fast…
Besides, with no video games to keep me entertained, I need this.
Deadly-Bagel: Thanks. To be honest, I got it off "Sonic Meets AOL 1, 2, and 3" on Deviantart. Look it up when you get a chance. It's funny XD
This is the first real "peek" at the party. Warning: Silvaze.
And also, I just feel like saying: more and more of the day gets added on, which is why you see more and more of the day/party each chapter.
Ch. 4, Silver's Day
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'The beach huh?' I asked myself, shutting down the computer. There weren't any beaches in the future… most of them were destroyed by Iblis… Besides, there wasn't much free time. Besides, even if there was free time, Blaze would never have gone with me.
She's always worrying, and searching for Iblis, just as I do… and the fact that she'd never end up going outside in a biki-
…I kinda wanna go to the beach now…
Well, Sonic told me to go buy a bathing suit, so, maybe I'll just take Blaze along…
Nah, she's nervous enough. So, I just ran down to the nearest store, and picked out a nice silver bathing suit.
I still wonder why that store was still open till 8 at night… I saw Blaze there, actually attempting to pick out a bathing suit. Something tells me she'd still wear the coat.
Everyone said that this was the one day that everyone waited for. The one day that Eggman eases up on the heroes, and the one day that even Shadow lightens up. Silver had to admit though… he never really had time for "fun". Even after he and Blaze decided to stay with the group of heroes, and go back to the future later, Silver only witnessed fun, possibly 3 or 4 times. Blaze never did though. She still felt, uneasy with anyone besides Sonic, Cream, and myself. Even when she is friendly, she never seems… happy.
But, I suppose that's how she was brought up, a 'princess'… which means our love, may never be… Or at least my love…
Well, whatever happens, happens, naturally. Today wasn't the day to be worrying. It was supposed to be fun, right? I walked out of my temporary apartment, and met up with Blaze, half way towards our meeting spot. Our topic today was also our one goal.
Swimming…
"I'm telling you Blaze, you move your arms and legs like a jellyfish or frog when you swim. I heard it was one of the quickest way to swim."
"Though it may be the quickest, it also makes you look like a complete fool. I believe, that you simply kick your feet, while your arms go in a circle." Blaze said simply, as she began create a small circle around her head. "I believe it's called the breast stroke."
"Hey, Silver, Blaze, you made it!" A friendly voice called. Almost everyone was already there. They were just short Shadow and Rouge.
"Hey guys, what's up? We all ready?" I shouted.
Everyone let out a big yeah, Sonic and Tails jumping slightly in the air. Knuckles and Amy, though they stayed on the ground, let out a much louder yell.
Blaze still seemed a little timid, but lightened up as she saw her newest friends so joyous.
"So, we still waiting on Shadow and Rouge?"
"Yeah. Something tells me Rouge is stuffing her-"
Amy gasped before Sonic could finish. "Sonic! That's so rude!" Amy said, slapping Sonic. Blaze's eyes seemed to narrow.
"I can't believe you are that kind of person Sonic."
"I was gonna say cooler…" Sonic said, guarding his face from another slap, and rubbing his cheek.
"Oh… S-sorry Sonic".
"What did you think he was going to say Amy?" Tails asked. Everyone went silent, until the dark hedgehog, and white bat appeared.
We all casually walked to the beach, poking fun at Sonic's fear of water. "Blaze is afraid of water too! Why are you only making fun of me?" He retaliated. I saw Blaze's ears perk up at the mention of her name.
"Because, Blaze is cat, as well as a pyrokinetic." Shadow explained simply, not taking his eyes on the distant water, as he continued to walk.
"Well, I'm a hedgehog, and hedgehog's can't swim."
"Actually, Sonic, I'm a hedgehog too. I'm an excellent swimmer." Shadow smiled. Sonic's jaw dropped, and even Blaze couldn't help but let out a laugh.
We got to the beach, and split up into our own "teams". I needed to learn how to swim, so I went with Knuckles, and the not-so-Cool Blue. I wanted Blaze to come too, so she could learn how to swim, but she seemed again nervous at the sight of the water. I decided she just needed her time.
Knuckles was a great teacher. I always thought he was always mad, always cranky, and impatient. But, when it came to teaching me and Sonic. Even when Sonic jumped into his arms, countless times.
Eventually, I managed to learn what Knuckles called the "breast stroke". I guess Blaze was right. How did she know that…?
After Knuckles was finished teaching me, and Sonic had hidden under some sand, I walked over to Blaze, who had finally taken her jacket off, so now she was just in her biki-…
…God she's beautiful…
I needed to talk to her. I need an excuse though. Why the hell was I so nervous? I've known her forever now… Why can't I…
"Offer to help her swim." Knuckles said aloud. It was clear he was talking to me. "What?" "I see you staring at her. It's the exact same stare Sonic and Shadow give Amy and Rouge."
"What are you talking about? I don't have a crush on my friend."
"It's called love dude. It works like that." Knuckles laughed. I stared at him in amazement. I hated to admit it… but I think he was right. His idea wasn't that bad ether. I could help teach her. So, slowly, and a bit shackily I got up, and mustered all my strength to stop shaking.
"Hey Blaze." I said calmly. "Trying to swim, huh? Well, I was just about to hop in myself. Want me to help you out there?" I asked, hopefully coolly. At this, Blaze smiled
"Yes, I will feel safer with you here."
"Great, now, first thing you got to do is…"
And with that, me and Tails attempted to teach Blaze the basics of swimming, while everyone slept. Maybe Blaze wanted to do this while no one was watching. When will she learn no one will insult her?
She was a fast learner. Much quicker then me. She said that with me and Tails teaching her, it was no surprise… Did she just complement me there…?
After we dried off, we all lay down under the sun [besides Blaze, who sat under the umbrella., and I drifted off to sleep.
The dream was… vague, but I could make two figures, that looked a bit like me and Blaze, leaning towards each other, about to… kiss…
Knuckles was right. I was in love with my best friend… but how to tell her?
"Silver. The party is starting." I heard a firm voice said to me, waking up. I didn't wake up, mumbling something about bananas, when the voice said something else… "Silver, Blaze needs your help!" The voice shouted. I sprang up, wide eyed, when the voice began to laugh lightly. "Don't worry, she's fine." Shadow said, nodding his head towards Blaze, who was next to me, sleeping. She was cute, curled up into a ball… why was I thinking this!?
Not important… Party! I picked myself up, and ran towards the party. Shadow claimed he still needed to wake up Blaze and Tails…
As I ran towards the life of the party, Sonic and Knuckles were already drinking. Unlike Sonic, I try to follow the rules, and the drinking age is changed to 21 100 years from now. Just want to obey my own rules.
But it didn't matter, it was still fun. Sonic and the rest talked so much freer. Even Amy was given a bit of alcohol. Bad choice. She was even more clingy to Sonic. Other than that though, she was normal Amy. Rouge and Knuckles just seemed a bit more… light headed. Other than that, they were normal too.
Poor Tails had to go home, since he was way too underage. Shadow had taken in home. Rouge said that she had a little 'surpise' for him. Knuckles, Amy, and even Blaze were asked to lead Shadow into the trap. I didn't want to get in the middle. All 3 girls are scary when there mad. Just saying.
So, while that was going on, me and Sonic simply talked. I managed to get the fact that he like Amy out over three times. I let it slipped that I liked Blaze.
"Don't worry. I won't tell a soul. But to be painfully honest, I think Blaze likes ya too!" Sonic shouted, laughing. He then went quiet for a few seconds, and then walked up to Knuckles.
"Hey Knuckleheaddude… I heards that you smells pretty goods. Yeah." He slurred out, taking another sip of his beer. He has gone crazy… was he serious about Blaze? I wonder…
This in turn led to a fight between Knuckles and Sonic. I was to busy wondering if Blaze liked me or not… As I was off in my own little fantasy world, Knuckles had been knocked out by Sonic. I don't think he did it on purpose, as Sonic fell to the ground, on his knees, picking up the knocked out Echidna.
"Noooos! I killed Knucklehead!" He shouted. He began to cry afterwards, then laugh hysterically…
Amy and Sonic brought him into a hotel that Amy had apparently rented for us, knowing half of us would be drunk. Amy gave Sonic a few hugs, telling him "No, you didn't kill him silly" Amy cooed.
'Ugh. If there's anything worse than a couple being romantic, it's a drunk couple being romantic… wait, where the hell they goin!?' I asked myself, as they walked out of the hotel, and began to walk along the beach… That means…
"Looks like we're the only ones left…" I said quietly, but Blaze, who I guess was right next to me this whole time, heard.
"Yes. This was a very short party."
"Well, according to Sonic, these parties always do this. They all go there separate ways with their… umm…"
"Boy-friend or girl-friend…?" Blaze said. I looked over at her and could tell she was blushing. What did that me-
Oh… I knew exactly what it meant. This made me blush too. Deciding to play stupid, and to figure out if I did know if I were right or not. "W-what?"
"You know what I mean Silver." Blaze said, almost in a monotone. She was nervous, but I guess she was used to this. She spoke so normally. "…Amy and Rouge, not only left on there own missions, they were assisting me with my own." She said, moving closer and closer to me. "You see, I've had a small crush on you for awhile now."
Sonic was telling the truth… "R-really?" I said. Damn, that wasn't cool… I was so nervous, I didn't really know what to say.
"You may be naive, but… as I've said, I've kinda liked that about you." She continued, leaning closer and closer to me, placing her hand on my chest…
Sonic told me about this once. It means she really did like me… or she was drunk. She didn't smell like beer though she smelt more of… wow, something good! This made me more nervous. I even started to sweat. This was awesome! In a weird sort of way…
"Are you feeling okay, Silver?" Blaze said, smiling slightly. Taking her hand off my chest, and walking away from me, towards the ocean, her skirt flowing in the wind.
How long did she have that?
After a few seconds of painful silence, I managed to speak up… sorta.
"How… how long have you liked me?" I asked. Anything to break the silence.
"Awhile now, I think. You probably think I'm insane, don't you?" She said, sadly.
"No no no. I d-" I caught myself before I managed to say it. She liked me, and I'm sure I liked her…
Why are you hesitating man!?
What if this was a dare from Sonic? They're all in the hotel right now watching the entire thing right now…
No way! Blaze is much much better than that to you. Besides, I think you and her look good together.
…
Fine, let me take over. I'll make her yours.
I got to do this myself.
There ya go sucker.
"I do like you…" I finished in a small voice. Her cat-ears heard it though, and she turned around, her small smile, had become a grin.
We sat and talked about our feelings for what felt like hours. I was surprised. I didn't expect that from her. The calm, and mysterious posture was a terrific act. The more we talked and talked… the more I realized I liked her. I wonder if she felt the same way. When we came to an awkward stop in our talking, I managed to look at the sky.
"Wow, it's… a full moon tonight" I said, standing up from the chair I was sitting in. Blaze stood up too.
"It's so pretty…" Blaze said, mesmerized. Hmm… this is a good opportunity… Sonic told me about a small hill near the beach. He told me to use it tonight, I think. Drunk or not, that hedgehog's a life-saver.
"Bl-Blaze, come with me." I said, grabbing her arm.
"Where are you…?"
"Just trust me." I shouted, now laughing. Blaze joined in.
As we approached the top of the hill, I began to think Sonic was insane. It was more like a small mountain. I finally reached the top, and pulled Blaze up to my level. I finally let go of her hand, and led her to the edge. The moon was closer than ever.
"Silver… this is…"
"Heh, pretty cool, huh?" I asked, sorta finishing her sentence. I sat down, and motioned her to sit next to me. She did so. As we sat there, all I could think about was her. Without knowing, she put her head against my chest. I looked over to her, and noticed my hand atop her shoulder.
"Silver…" She said, her eyes closed.
"Yeah?"
"I love you…"
I was shocked. Had she just said that…
"I love you too." I said. Wait- how did I…
My body was acting on my own but it was working, as Blaze gave me a large hug. Quickly, and again, without thinking, I gave her one back. This was turning out, to be awesome…
We simply sat there, hugging each other, like it was second nature. As we slowly broke apart, our faces drew closer, and closer, until…
…Yes! Finally! Blaze and I kissed! Whoa… me and Blaze…
It was… hard to describe. Just… wonderful, as we played with each other's tongues, as she lay on top of me, as I began to caress her back. The moment could only be ruined by…
"Whoa, Silver, calm down buddy." A voice said, half-laughing.
Happiness left, and embarrassment washed over the both of us. I shot open my eyes, and parted myself from Blaze, who obediently got off of me, nervously.
"S-Sonic!" I cried, getting off my back. Blaze was busy fiddling with her thumbs. "We were- umm, we… uh…" I struggled searching for the words. Amy giggled, and grabbed Blaze, who followed, deep into the forest. This left me and Sonic. "Why man? Why!?""
"Sorry, Silver, I didn't know." Sonic said sympathetically. He then led me into the forest as well. "So how was it?"
"…It was… hard to describe…" I said honestly, as I remembered what had happened, telling Sonic as much as I could. Sonic nodded.
"Nice Silver. You sure know your way inside a woman." He said, giving me the thumbs up. "Now, Amy's setting up a little dare with Blaze, and she wanted me to tell you."
"What the hell is it Sonic…?" I ask aggravated.
"Blaze said, that she would only sleep with someone that she loved." Sonic said, nudging my shoulder. "You know where I'm getting?"
"I'm not gonna have sex with her Sonic. Don't even try it."
"Here's what some people don't understand." Sonic began. "It's the fact that 'sleeping' with someone is not always sex. It, in my eyes, is the true test of trust, and love."
"I don't want to rush things Sonic."
"Dude, it's not rushing, if everyone knows, you loved each other. And, you snogging her doesn't help…" Sonic laughed.
"Shut up…" I laughed, shoving Sonic a little.

Will Silver rise to the challenge
To be Continued… in "Blaze's Day"
Coming soon…Note: I'm probably gonna be doing this with everyone's stories, just cause. I love cliff hangers!
I hate doing make-out scenes though…
