Chapter 7
"So," the striped hedgehog asked Sonic,"You want to go out and, you know, do something?" Sonic blushed a little when he said that. He thought for a second and said,"I guess we could go grab a milkshake or something. Then we could spend the rest of the day together." Shadow smirked. "Alright then. I`ll drive us."
This confused the azure hedgehog. "You...have a car?" "No, I don`t have a car, but I do have a motorcycle. And a damn nice one if I do say so myself. Just follow me to the garage." Shadow led the way to where his "Precious Baby", or so he liked to call it, was waiting to be ridden.
"Well," Shadow said once they got to where the motorcycle was,"Here she is." He pointed to the awesome looking hot rod. Sonic was actually amazed at how well kept the cycle was. It was so shiny and black as if it hasn`t been ridden in a while, but was obviously kept clean. On the side was a wierd looking red symbol of some sort, kinda swirly and spiky. He just guessed that it was a design or something that the other thought was cool enough to put on his bike. Oh well, he`ll ask about it later.
"Wow Shads, thats a good looking bike you have." Sonic said in amazment. "Why thank you," Shadow said as he placed a small kiss on the others lips. "So I guess we should go then." The azure hedgehog said as he and the other got on the motorcycle. Shadow took a grip on the handlebars while Sonic held on around Shadow`s waist, since there was no sidecar. He blushed a little as he thought what other people woud think of him holding on to the other`s waist. He wouldn`t care, of course, because love was love, no matter the gender. Anyway, Shadow asked," Are you ready?" and when Sonic stated,"Yep," he drove out of the garage.
It was just like running to the blue blur. Although, it was a little slower, but that didn`t matter because he loved the ride and the wind blowing between his quills. As they slowed down for a red light, he noticed some people pointing, staring, and even giggling as they watched the strange scene. He tried to ignore it, but it was starting to get overwhelming, annoying even.
Finally, the stupid red light turned green and off they went. That was a relief. While they were driving, Sonic decided to look around to see if any of his friends were around. He wondered what they would think of him and Shadow as a couple. He already told Tails, Knuckles would probably laugh his red (or should we say green) ass off, SIlver would be shocked at first, Amy...well we all know what she`ll think. Manic might understand and the Chaotix might also. Sonic noticed Silver and Amy walking down the street, hand in hand. He thought it was a cute picture and thought about him and Shads doing the same. To him, it was an even cuter picture.
Finally, after a lot of red lights and people staring, they made it to the ice cream shop. They both got off and made their way into the shop. The cashier, a jolly old gray bear, asked them in a friendly tone,"Hello! What would you like today?" "One milkshake please." Sonic answered. "Coming right up!" The old bear went to make their milkshake while Sonic and Shadow went to find a seat. The shop was empty and quiet except for the soft jazz music in the background. They waited for about two minutes before the bear called them to get their "Loveshake". Shadow blushed as he noticed the shake had a bunch of little heart-shaped sprinkles. He sighed anyway and got two straws, then began to walk over to the table where Sonic was waiting.
They began to drink their milkshake when Shadow noticed Sonic looked lost in thought. "Something the matter?," he asked, his voice in concern.
"Nah I`m just wondering when we need to tell the others about, you know, us being a couple."
"Im sure they`ll undertsand. Maybe we can tell them tomorrow."
"Sounds good." The speed demon took a sip of his milkshake, satisfied.
After they were done, the couple noticed that they still had a whole day to do something. They decided to go to the park, so the lovers got onto the bike and drove to Emerald park. They spent the whole they there and it was absolutely perfect, except for a couple of people staring. They made their way to a bench and sat down for a while, when this girl, about 15 or so, made her way over and said excitedly," Oh...my...gosh... Are you two, like, a couple?"
"Uuuhh...yes?," Sonic said, not quite sure what to say. What did this girl want anyway?
"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I knew it! I told them so, but they didn`t believe me! But now, I have evidence!"
"What are you talking about, wierdo?" Shadow asked, annoyed.
"Well, you see," the girl began,"There`s these guys that hate the couple called Sonadow. Do you know what Sonadow is?"
"I have a feeling it has something to do with me and Shadow being a couple, right?," Sonic asked, sweat-dropping a little.
"Yah! That`s right! So anyway, I told them that Sonadow was real and they didn`t believe me! So I followed you guys all day taking pictures of you guys together. And now I asked if you guys were a couple and you said yes and... OH MY GOSH! It`s all true! Just wait `till I tell those boys!" She then ran off, leaving a trail of nose-bled blood behind her.
There was some silence.
Shadow finally said," Well I don`t think you have to worry about telling your friends tomorrow."
"Why`s that?" Sonic asked.
"Because there are more fans of this so-called 'Sonadow' than we've realised..."
With that, they slowly began to make their way to the motorcycle.
