On with the story!!1
Later that night…
"Oh! I'm late!" cried Rikku in panic, glancing at her watch that read six thirty while bolting to the door. On her way out, the vixen grabbed her long blue coat and tied it at the waist hiding most of her outfit. She had wanted to surprise everyone.
What could be seen was the sliming, but baggy tan cargo pants along with blue sneakers with white stripes over the top. In her golden hair was two blue ribbons tied around her ear.
"Tails is gonna faint when he sees me in my outfit!" exclaimed the vixen, glancing at the mirror one last time and adjusting her ribbons.
Flinging open the oak door, Rikku slid to the door to her right. The female lightly knocked on the door with her newly polished nails that were painted electric blue and waited.
After several minutes, a cute female bunny came to the door. Her mother stood behind her, continuously fixing her hair.
"MOM!!" Cream cried in embarrassment.
Vanilla stopped the white brush in a midair stroke. "I'm sorry, Cream. It's just that this is your first teenage party and I…"
"Mom…" the bunny said in a softer tone. Shaking her head, she turned to the vixen waiting patiently. "Hey, Rikku!"
"Hiya, Cream!" she said, looking her over and closing her left eye.
For the party, Cream had put on a dark blue tank top with white trimming. In her hair were two dark blue ribbons around her ears and one white ribbon tying her ears together. Her long brown hair was curled down her back. A ruffled jean skirt with blue, strap on sandals tied in nicely with her shirt. A set of blue and white bangles completed her look.
Finished surveying the bunny's choice of clothes, Rikku opened her eye. "Nice outfit!"
Cream nodded her thanks. "And yours is um…. Interesting…" She observed the blue coat covering most of her outfit.
Rikku put her hands up in defense. "This isn't my outfit! I put the coat on so it could be a surprise!" She gave her a wink.
Vanilla interrupted the girl's conversation. "Well, you both look nice. Now remember Cream home by eleven. No alcohol, no driving with a drunk driver, no kissing…."
"MOM!!" Cream whirled on her feet to face her mother, her cheeks bright red.
Vanilla gave a long sigh, closing her eyes. Opening them, the aged rabbit said, "Just remember what I told you." With that, Vanilla silently closed the door.
Cream's ears immediately started to droop more. "I think I may have hurt mother's feelings,"
The vixen waiting didn't want to get into a family matter. Saying with the most sincerity she could muster, Rikku said, "Come on. It'll do no good worrying about it. Let's go to the party."
Cream turned her sad face to Rikku and gave a nod with a fake smile. "Yeah…"
Thirty minutes later….
Rikku breathed heavily and continued to follow the teenage rabbit throughout the alleyways. "Man this party is far," thought Rikku, regaining her breath.
Right now, the two girls were walking through a slip of land between two buildings, smaller than an alley. The garbage cans produced a stench that made both girls gag and hold their noses and breath. The building walls were sprayed from ground level up in graphite.
Cream suddenly came to a halt. Looking at the map in her hands and to the street ahead, she announced, "The building is right over there."
"Finally!" breathed Rikku in relief.
Suddenly, a loud clang was heard at Rikku's left side. Both girls wheeled about to find only a stray cat and a knocked off trashcan lid.
Cream let out a slow sigh on relief. "I thought…"
Suddenly a creepy voice cut her off, "Well, what are two pretty ladies like you doing out here?"
Rikku whirled around to find a pair of glowing yellow eyes pierced her with their gaze. The figure the were belonging to was shrouded in complete darkness.
"W-W-Who are y-you?" stuttered Cream, backing away.
The figure gave a cold laugh and stepped out of the darkness caused by the alley, revealing that he was a coal black wolf with yellow, rotted teeth. He wore nothing but rags around his body, giving evidence that he was poor with his thin-beyond-belief body. Around his head was a yellow makeshift bandanna keeping back his black hair.
From his pocket he produced a cigarette and a lighter. Lighting the cigarette and putting it in his mouth, he growled, "What's a couple of pretty gals like you doing on our turf?" He eyed the two with narrowed eyes, growling menacingly.
As soon as he said that, Rikku quickly reached into her coat and produced her twin daggers, holding them menacingly in front of her. "Gangs," she hissed through her gritted teeth. She knew that many existed in these parts of Station Square and tredding on their "territory" was bad news in itself. Meeting a menancing member such as this only doubled the risk factors.
The black wolf let out the same cold laugh and tapped his cigarette, causing ash to fall to the dirty ground. "Feisty aren't cha? Got a boyfriend around these parts?"
"That's personal buddy!" she growled, stepping protectively in front of the quaking young rabbit, daggers gleaming in the moonlight.
"So ya don't?" he answered for her, raising an eyebrow. A chuckle escaped his curled up lips. "Well then I guess this is fair play then..."
With that, he snapped his curved in and splintered claws together, the sound echoing along the alleyway.
Two brown suddenly sprang from the darkness. They both lunged towards Cream, who screamed in fright and scrammbled backwards...right inbetween two dumpsters and a wall. "Please don't hurt me!" she cried, close to tears as they swiped their battered claws at her somehow avoiding form.
"Don't you dare hurt her!" Rikku growled, springing towards the two wolves. Eyes narrowing, she executed a perfect Dagger Spin, lashing out at the two as she twirled and causing several yelps to escape their lips. Relucantly, they backed away from the girls.
"Eh? Ain't that one of them Sonic folks?" questioned a scranny gray coyote next to the black one. "'Cuz if they is, then I've seem 'em on that there teleyvision. Said to be pretty good at fighting and stuff."
"Fighting huh?" growled their leader, his hand letting the cigarette drop to the ground where his foot crushed it to ashes. "I could use a girl on the team... And when I say on the team I mean as my girl."
Rikku hissed, "Like we would join you sickos!"
"Well of course force is necessary." Again, he snapped his fingers and several other wolves and coyotes joined the fray. "And some breaking in will be needed for this one." He leered at the golden fox.
"Cream, go!" Rikku ordered, daggers in a defending position.
"But-!"
"JUST GO!! GET TAILS OR SOMEBODY FROM THE PARTY IF YOU MUST BUT JUST GO!!" she barked. Before she could even glance over her shoulder to see if the rabbit was obeying, a tan coyote launched itself from behind the advancing pack on her. Hot claws tore at her arms as he landed on her, daggers slipping from her fingers and landing mere inches from her grasp.
"Get off!" she screamed. Arching her back and crouching her legs inward, she sent the beast flying when she kicked outwards, no doubt damaging his chest in the process. She wasted no time in rolling to her side and grabbing her daggers from the scuffed ground. The fox let out a gasp when she noticed that Cream was nowhere to be found within the alley.
"Cream!" she called, scrambling to her feet while blocking another attack from her opponents.
Hazel eyes frantically scanned the road only to find a light brown colored blob sprinting towards the pulsing club. Rikku let out a sigh of relief. At least Cream was safe.
Unforunately for herself, she was not. Several snarls from behind alerted the vixen that there was still a battle to be held.
She just hoped Cream would hurry up or else she was so screwed.
With Cream…
"I've … gotta … get … help…" panted Cream, rushing towards the building. Slipping through the revolving door, the rabbit entered the party. Colorful lights danced across the dance floor, lighting up the dancers. A loud dancing beat coming from the speakers made Cream vibrate as she searched the room.
Scanning the room for the second time while standing on her tiptoes to get a better view, the female finally spied Tails near the refreshments table. Unfortunately, the refreshment table was all the way over on the other side of the crowded dance floor.
"Oh boy," she muttered, looking for a break in the dancers. Finally, after several minutes of searching a finding no gap, Cream decided just to dive in and hope for the best.
With Amy…
"Sonic can be such a brat sometimes," whispered Amy to herself as she sat on an empty chair. The lonely pink hedgehog watched as the lights danced their way around the room, making it light up.
To impress Sonic, Amy had put together an amazing outfit. A navy blue tank top with tan trimming matched her layered jean skirt perfectly. On her skirt was a navy blue and tan flower design. Underneath her skirt was a pair of tan leggings that went down to her knees. Two matching thick tan bracelets clipped together on her wrists. In her silky newly brushed hair was a blue ribbon serving as a headband. To complete her look the hedgehog wore platform sandals. The sandals' bottom was tan and the part that went around her feet was denim.
Sonic, Blaze, Julie-Su, Knuckles, or Rikku were not here yet; Tails was standing by the refreshment, obviously waiting for Rikku; Sharon had come with him, but she had given up on him when all he did was ignore her; The vixen had run off with some red fox; and it seemed that Sonic was never going to show.
Letting out another sigh, the pink beauty looked to the ground in disappointment. Why didn't Sonic like her? Why did he run? She thought that it was because he was shy, but after many years, Amy began to doubt her guesses.
"Umm… May I have this dance?"
The hedgehog's head shot up in surprise when she heard the voice. Her jade eyes fell on Silver, standing with his hand outreached and rubbing the back of his head nervously. For the party, he wore black jeans and a light blue T-shirt. The pink hedgehog gave a warm smile and placed her hand in his.
The light suddenly dimmed and a slow song began as the two hedgehogs led out on the dance floor. Silver placed his arm around her waist and the other mirrored her hand. Amy lightly placed her left hand on his shoulder and the right clasped his hand in the air.
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
The coupled swayed the music, matching each other's steps. Amy couldn't help but wonder if Sonic would've ever danced with her like this.
Silver couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked tonight. The multi-colored lights made her look even more radiant. The way her eyes sparkly intrigued him.
From the minute that you got my attention
I was taken and I have to mention
I was trying to not let it show
Amy banished her thoughts of the blue blur and focused on Silver. The way he held her made her feel fragile. The way he looked at her with his golden eyes made her feel special. Could she…?
But I knew I wasn't gonna let you go
From the way that you came right to me
Looking all hot with the style that threw me
Silver watched her as she gazed into his eyes. Sonic didn't know what he was throwing away every time he ran. He didn't know what he had that others would die for. The hero didn't know that he had everything he wanted.
No one would've ever known it
You would be the one who take this heart and hold it
As the music continued, feelings and thoughts welled up inside of Amy until she thought she would burst. Could Silver return her feelings? What would Sonic think? Didn't Blaze love Silver? What would she think? Did she really love him?
You got that extraordinary way
Got to be next to ya every single day
You do something that I just can't explain
Wanna take the chance and tell you you're the one for me
Who would have thought that Silver would fall in love with Amy? Who would've thought that he'd end up doing anything for her? He didn't. They were always together and yet… neither of them realized their feelings until they drifted apart.
Ooh, I love you so
Just look in my eyes; they'll tell you where this could go
Yeah
Do you know it
Ooh, I love you so
Look in these eyes, they'll tell you where this could go
I just want you to know
Amy thoughts drifted to the day they met. How she had thought he was Sonic and how they teamed up. Who would've thought that she would have fallen for Sonic's so called murder? No… He wasn't a murder. Just a sweet, sweet guy… who was a great friend.
You can san say anything you want to
No stress 'cause I understand you
We got a vibe you can't define
Want everyone know that boy is mine
Silver kept watching her eyes. They glistened with new hope and… something else. He wondered what it was. Was she thinking about Sonic? Silver suppressed a growl at this and tried to keep his face normal.
We won't fight and stop and stare at the way you hold me
You take me there at times
I feel I lose control
Forget everyone but the hand I'm holding
As the song continued to its last chorus, Silver and Amy's eyes locked with one another's. The pink beauty unlatched her right hand from his and put it on his other shoulder. Silver wrapped his hand around her waist, bringing her closer.
You got that extraordinary way
Got to be next to ya every single day
You do something that I just can't explain
Wanna take the chance and tell you you're the one for me
Silver caught his breath as her head rested on his chest. Her breaths danced over him, her warmth seemed to flow within him.
Ooh, I love you so
Just look in my eyes; they'll tell you where this could go
Yeah
Can you feel it
Ooh, I love you so
Look in these eyes, they'll tell you where this could go
I just want you to know
Could she really fall in love with someone just after one dance? Did she just like Silver because he resembled Sonic? Was she getting her feelings confused? Silver was a great friend and he was always there for her, but it just seemed...fast.
Please know this
I'll always be right here
And you don't have to look
Nowhere else babe
Don't think for a minute
This love will change
Oh you should know that
Could he really be in love with someone he barely talked to? Yes, Amy was a terrific person and friend but did he really love her? Like love, love. Even if he did, he doubted she would ever give up on Sonic. The two seemed to share a bound that everyone but them noticed.
Ooh, I love you so
Just look in my eyes; they'll tell you where this could go
Yeah
Can you feel it
Ooh, I love you so
Look in these eyes, they'll tell you where this could go
I just want you to know
Amy silently wondered what Silver's feelings were towards her. Did he love her as a friend, or more? She turned her green gaze onto his face, their lips just inches apart. Amy could feel his warm breath wash over her lips. There was only one way to find out.
Ooh, I love you so
Just look in my eyes; they'll tell you where this could go
Silver couldn't stand it. Their lips were just inches apart, catching each others breaths. He wondered countless times what she felt towards him and now was the time to see if what he felt towards her was real or just a silly crush.
Yeah
Can you feel it?
Ooh, I love you so.
Amy could hardly bear the wait. His lips seemed to be teasing her. "KISS HIM!!" screamed her mind, but her conscious said not to… for Blaze and Sonic. The pink hedgehog didn't know which one to listen to. Her eyes half closed, expecting him to kiss her.
Look in these eyes, they'll tell you where this could go
Silver couldn't wait any longer. It was now or never. Kiss her and know, or forever lose the opprotunity. Leaning forward, he brushed her lips and finally caught her in a kiss. The pink hedgehog kissed back, deepening the kiss. The last note of the song that brought them together struck, but both were too lost in the kiss.
I just want you to know
A/N: This took forever to write! You can not imagine how long it took me to find a song that fit them and the dance. I hope that this chapter didn't disappoint or anything. I'm really sorry if it did. Next Chapter: Blaze and Julie-Su side of the party.
