Chapter Seven
"Well?" I asked Sonic, waiting for him to tell me who that gorgeous purple cat is, and why she had the same shoes as him. It wasn't normal. You don't take a girl out on a date where another girl works, and knows you. Especially when that girl is pretty!
"Here you go," Blaze was back already with two root beers. She set the first in front of Sonic, then me. "Is there anything else I can get you guys?" she smiled.
"How about some privacy?" I gave the biggest fake smile I could.
"Amy..." Sonic whispered. I know my attitude isn't exactly the best attitude to have on a nice date like this, in an amazing restaurant on a gorgeous beach, but the bond between Sonic and this Blaze was unacceptable.
"It's fine Sonic," she whispered to him, "I'll check up on you guys later, and take your order." She walked away again.
I stared at Sonic, wanting an answer. "So?" I asked, after about a minute of awkward silence, just staring at each other.
"She's my sister," he said rather quietly.
Blaze the cat, is Sonic the hedgehog's sister? I shook my head, not buying it. "I'll give you one more try. Try to make this even just a little bit convincing." I crossed my arms over my chest. I can't believe Sonic would make up such a lie. He must have known I wasn't going to buy it.
"Amy, she's really my sister," he looked down. I, for some reason, suddenly believed him, and felt bad for accusing him of lying.
"How did that... happen?" I asked, hoping he knew I meant how could a cat be a hedgehog's sister.
"It's sort of a long story, and not exactly the perfect first date conver-"
"We're friends," I interrupted, making sure he didn't forget. This could only be considered a date if it were... well, a date. This is just merely two friends, hanging out, getting better acquainted. "And alright, but you have to tell me soon."
Sonic nodded, not saying anything more. He looked like he was deep in thought.
I sighed. "I'm sorry. I've totally ruined tonight. I really didn't think -"
"No," Sonic looked up at me, "Amy, don't blame yourself. Tonight isn't ruined. It's just getting started," he smiled.
When Blaze came back, I apologized for being so rude. I wouldn't normally apologize, to anyone, about anything, wether I was right or wrong. I was just stubborn. Tonight, though, for some reason, I did apologize, and it was on my own. Sonic didn't even have to ask me to. It felt good to make things right with an innocent person.
After Sonic and I finished eating, we headed outside to the beach. It was so romantic. There was a gorgeous pink blanket with candles and a little stereo playing soft, romantic music, all set up under the moonlight. It was without a doubt the most romantic date I've ever been on. Yeah, I said date. Just don't tell Sonic!
We spent the night talking to each other, getting to know each other. I told Sonic all about Shadow, and how I had known him forever. I even cried a little! But, it's okay. Sonic took me under his arms and made me feel better. He made me feel safe.
He told me a bit about his family. He didn't bring up Blaze, and I didn't ask about her. Sonic was right, our time together wasn't the best place to discuss how a cat ended up in a family of hedgehogs.
After talking for about an hour we took a very nice walk along the waterline in our bare feet. The water was a little bit cold, but felt pretty nice. Sonic held my hand, which was nice. His hand was so warm! I ended up getting cold so Sonic kept my close to him. Very close to him. I told him I didn't want to leave, I was having such an amazing time. After I yawned and he realized how cold my arms were, he brought me home.
I thanked him for tonight while we stood at my door, and he leaned in to kiss me. Stupid, stupid me, panicking and being me, I let go of my keys, giving me a reason to not kiss him. I so wish I had have kissed him... Oh well, there's always next time.
I shook my head, sighing at how stupid I was for not kissing Sonic. I signed the end of the page, and closed my diary, setting it back in between my two mattresses.
I replayed tonight over and over in my head. We didn't do that much talking, but I felt like so much had been said.
Tonight Sonic had shown me that he cares. That's something Shadow never did. What did this mean?
A/N: I apologize for how short this is! I would make it longer, but my computer is being it's crappy old self and isn't wanting to stay on for very long. It's shut down about three times so far while I've been writing this -_-''
Next one will be longer, as usual
