Chapter 7

All right, now we get back to actual writing. Trust me I enjoyed the poem, but this is pretty much a story kind of place. So I suck at summaries, so lets start the story.


Blaze laid in her bed thinking.

"Will I ever go back to my homeland?" she wondered. "Will I get to see my parents, my friends?"

She told herself to keep faith. Of course she would! Her parents were the greatest king and queen to ever come through the royalty line.

She knew they would protect the country of her people. The only thing that she didn't get is why did she keep the Sol Emeralds?

They were the most powerful objects in her land. They could fix almost any problem.

Well, she had planned to have a shopping spree with her gift cards( she only got gift cards, nobody knew what she really liked.)

After getting ready for the spree, she walked out the door with a smile.

"What's your plan for the day Blaze? Want to go flying?" Tails joked.

"No thanks. I'm planning to use my gift cards for some stuff." she replied.

"Cool. I couldn't fly anyways, I got to invent something for Knuckles's gloves, they rip to easily."

She walked over to the kitchen and saw Amy. Only, Amy was as sick as a dog and looked like, well, hell.

"Are you sick?" Blaze asked the obvious question.

" Yeah, I-uh-, ACHOOOO!" she sneezed.

"You can tell me later-"

"ACHOOOO! Uh, sure-AAAA" she started again, but by the time she sneezed, Blaze was out the front door.

Blaze didn't like to brag or criticize, but she was a clean freak. Whether it was sneezing, vomit, whatever, she had to get away from it.

Her one weakness, even more than germs, is blood.

Blood is something she can't stand.

Seriously. Blood has made her fall unconscious several times.

Blaze got into Sonic's car(he said she could) and started to drive to the mall.

Upon arriving she was filled with the business that she liked so much.

The smells, the lights, the sounds, were almost overwhelming.

She decided to go to the alternative store Plan 19. That's where she first got clothes in Station Square.

She found a really cool purple hoodie, and some ripped jeans. After gathering her clothes she walked up to the cashier stand.

Nobody was there so she leaned against the counter and waited. Then it hit her.

This is where she met Silver.

" Hello. Can I help you?" a voice asked.

She spun around and saw Silver.

" Hey you. Back again?" he asked.

"Yeah, using s-some Christmas money." she stammered. Why am I so nervous?

" Well you got good taste, the jeans look pretty cool."

"Thanks." she replied.

"Well, here is your bag." he said handing it to her.

She smiled and walked off. He was so normal. Not in the boring way, just he was so relaxed. Like he didn't have a care in the world.

She then thought of Amy. How she was sick and probably having a horrible day. She thought about how she could make her feel better.

Well she knew she liked gifts( who doesn't). She also liked pink. Can't get any simpler than that.

Well she walked over to Amy's favorite store, she had mentioned it several times, and looked for her gift.

After turning the corner of the clothes section she bumped into Rouge.

"What are you doing here?" Rouge asked.

" Getting a gift for Amy. You?" she replied.

"What you said." she replied.

"Well I bet we can get a better gift if we work together." she told Rouge.

So they got to work and found a cool gift basket. They put some aspirin, a blanket, and a pair of earrings.

They were proud of their work.

"It really can't be more Amy." Rouge said.

"Nope." she said approvingly.

After they got the basket, they walked over to the local coffee shop.

" So how is life here Blaze?" Rouge asked.

"Well Christmas was really cool, everyone's nice, but I really miss my parents." she replied.

"I wish I could miss mine, but I grew up alone. Then I met my true love." Rouge said.

Blaze was expecting Knuckles. Rouge always seemed to tease him and flirt, but that is who she is.

" My gems!" Rouge exclaimed. " I saw my first jewel when I was just a little girl. I've been in love ever since."

"What about a living thing?" Blaze asked.

"Oh, I don't know. People aren't always as good as gems."

"How?" she asked puzzled.

" Unlike people, gems are good listeners, you can always have them with you, and finally gems never die." she said.

Blaze didn't think that less than an hour later she would be crying over that statement.

After finishing their coffee, they each got into their cars and started to drive back to see Amy.

Sonic's Apartment

"We're back!" Rouge exclaimed. "And we got a gifty for Amy."

The pink hedgehog squealed with delight even though sick. It seemed to perk her up.

" Glad you like it." Blaze told Amy.

As she said that Sonic came in with a glum face, which is really unusual.

Shadow walked in after him with his emotionless face, which is really common.

"B-Blaze we-… Shadow can y-" he was cut off.

"Yes." he replied quickly.

Blaze had never seen Sonic so nervous, what could be wrong?

The next thing she knew she was being dragged out back by Shadow.

"Stop!" But it was no use.

"Blaze, sit." he commanded.

"What's going on?" she asked.

"Blaze, things are not going well in your homeland." he told her.

" How? Is their war? Crime?" she asked.

" Blaze your- your parents are dead."

Shadow looked into her eyes and saw pure horror. It was familiar to him.


One word: WHOA! Talk about a cliff hangar! Well, not to be cruel, but Blaze was having such a good time and I think we needed tragedy, without a main character death.
