First Date

Blossom's P.O.V

"Ack! Stop it! I SAID STOP IT!"

I screeched as Amy raked a brush through my hair. She stopped and pouted, plucking hairs from the brush.

"But Blossom! You have to look beautiful for your date!"

I snarled at her and stood up, causing Rouge to smudge my lip stick everywhere.

"Blossom hun! Look what you've done! Let me help!"

Rouge rifled through her handbag and pulled out a tissue.

"I don't want your help! Please, just let me be!"

I begged them. I was incredibly nervous about my date, and I really didn't want to make a bad impression. Rouge looked at me sympathetically and handed me a tissue.

"I'm sorry hun! If you want us to leave you in peace, then that's what we'll do. Come on Amy, let's go."

They finally left and I bolted for the bathroom. I gasped when I saw the make-up. Besides the smudged lip stick, I looked awful! I scraped it all off and went back into my bedroom.

"Oh great!"

Amy and Rouge had spent so long faffing around with my make-up that I only had half an hour left. I was already in my turquoise bikini, so I simply pulled on the clothes that Amy had given me yesterday for my birthday and pulled my hair into a high ponytail. I stuffed my towel into a bag along with a purse, my new phone and the wireless speakers.

"Now, to appease Rouge, I shall wear my new perfume!"

I sprayed a tiny amount of my Rogue Chic perfume on my neck and fastened Silver's locket. I sighed and applied the tiniest amount of lip gloss before stalking downstairs.

"There she is!"

Amy was still here, and she darted over to me, scrutinizing my appearance.

"Hmm…if we plaited the hair, and put on a little more make-up, not to mention losing that dreadful locket…"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?"

I screamed at Amy, terrifying the poor hedgehog. She backed up, shielding her face with her hands. I snarled and a tiny bit of ice froze over her shoes, keeping her in one place while I ranted at her.

"THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL LOCKET, AND YOUR SO CALLED GORGEOUS MAKE-UP MADE ME LOOK LIKE A CLOWN! SO JUST SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT MY APPEARANCE!"

I left Amy clutching her ears and trying to pull her feet from the floor. Rouge got up as I entered, coming over to examine me herself.

"Not bad, not bad…ooh! Are you wearing your new perfume?"

She sniffed, taking in the scent of the perfume she bought me. I nodded carefully, wondering what she would say. I checked the clock and gasped.

"Oh my! I have to be at the beach in ten minutes!"

Rouge noticed my distress and herded me out the door.

"Come on! I'll take you there!"

I hopped into the pink Cadillac and Rouge drove off. A sudden thought hit me when we were halfway there.

"Rouge. Amy's still at the house."

"Oh. I'll collect her on my way back."

We finally arrived at the beach, and I checked my phone. Five minutes left. I breathed a sigh of relief and got out.

"Thanks Rouge! I'll text you when I get home!"

I waved goodbye as Rouge drove off, going to pick up Amy from Cream's. I kicked off my shoes and walked down to the shoreline barefoot, carrying my shoes with my free hand. I squinted into the distance, searching for any sign of Silver.

"Aha! There he is!"

I spotted him lying on the little island, down by the shoreline. I pulled off my clothes and stuffed them in my bag, jumping into the sea. Of course, a large air bubble surrounded me, keeping my bag and hair dry. I shot forward, reaching the island in a matter of seconds.

"Hi Silver!"

I surfaced quickly, using the water to shoot me upwards, allowing to me to land neatly beside him on the beach. He opened one eye and sat up, stretching.

"Hey Blossom. You ready to eat?"

I licked my lips in response and he led me through to a clearing surrounded by palm trees. A brown picnic basket was sitting in the sand.

"Aww, Silver! It's so wonderful!"

I skipped over ditching my bag beneath a palm tree. I pulled out my towel and spread it out next to the picnic basket. Silver sat down on his own towel, lying on his back. I yawned and crossed my legs out in front of me, leaning back on my arms.

"So, what are we having?"

Silver sat upright and pulled of the lid. I glanced inside, and purred in delight. There was salmon, tuna, bread, chocolate, cake, fruit and marshmallows! There were also plates and glasses, and a cake slice.

"Silver! I love it! These are all my favourite kinds of food!"

Silver grinned and pulled out the fish and bread, handing them to me. I squeaked and instantly started making the fish and bread into sandwiches. I devoured the first one swiftly (I hadn't eaten breakfast because I overslept) and made another.

"Glad you like them!"

Silver was munching on an apple slowly, the juice running down his chin. I purred and scoffed down two more sandwiches, lying back and rubbing my stomach.

"Mmm…I was starving! This is so delicious!"

I licked my lips for any remaining traces of fish, and sat up again. There was one slice of bread left and a morsel of tuna, so I ate them much slower.

"Ready for dessert?"

Silver smiled and handed me a large bar of chocolate. I broke it neatly in two and gave him half.

"Thanks Silver! This is just perfect!"

Silver flushed slightly and bit off some of the chocolate. I took a rest from eating and pulled out a couple of glasses and filled them up with ice cold water.

"Thanks Blossom."

I smiled shyly and swallowed a mouthful of chocolate (I really love chocolate) and checked my phone. Several angry messages from Amy. One from Sonic. I snorted and threw the phone back into the bag.

"Anything important?"

Silver looked at me, his fur smeared with chocolate. I giggled and shook my head.

"Nope. Nothing of any concern."

Silver's P.O.V

Blossom seemed to be struggling not to laugh. I cocked my head in confusion and licked my fur. Hmm…chocolaty…OH!

"I have loads of chocolate on my fur, don't I?"

Blossom nodded, laughing softly. I huffed and she gave me a curious look. She quickly sprayed me with water, drenching my fur.

"Hey! What was that for?"

She grinned and pointed to the sea. I got up and went to examine my reflection. All I could see was a soaking, frowning white hedgehog. No chocolate.

"Satisfied?"

Blossom was standing behind me, probably having followed me to make sure that I didn't run off.

"Thanks."

She smiled brightly and skipped off, leaving me standing to shake the water from my fur. I went back to the picnic, only to find that Blossom was lying half asleep on her towel.

"Blossom?"

"Hmm? Pass the chocolate please…"

She was talking in her sleep, dreaming about…chocolate? O…k…that's slightly bizarre. Suddenly she shot upright, her eyes wide.

"I'm so sorry!"

I shook my head and went to sit beside her. She sighed and picked up her chocolate, licking it slowly like an ice cream cone. I gave her an odd look and she abandoned it after about two minutes.

"I'm stuffed! Aren't you?"

Secretly I wasn't because all I had was some fruit, and she seemed to remember.

"Oh right. Here."

She broke off the chocolate the she had licked and handed me the rest. I took it gratefully, savouring the rich flavour as I ate it. Blossom looked like she was going to fall asleep again, so I wolfed down the rest of my chocolate and helped her up.

"Maybe we should take you home."

Blossom yawned and nodded, drowsily walking over to pick up her bag. She came over to join me and leapt into the water, creating a huge splash that dragged me in too.

"Sorry. I just…didn't sleep too well last night."

She lazily drifted through the sea, using the water to gently propel her forward. I sighed and nodded; I had been up most of the night myself, worrying.

Blossom's P.O.V

I hauled myself out of the water and flopped down on the beach, exhausted. I had been up almost all night freaking out about the date.

"Blossom? You ok?"

I could hear Silver's voice; I just couldn't be bothered to get up.

"Blossom? Come on!"

He tapped my arm lightly and I forced myself up, stumbling along the beach. I growled and forced the sea to come up and soak me, waking me up considerably.

"Brrr that's cold!"

I shook the droplets from my fur and hopped over to where Silver was walking. I took my bag from him and we headed back to Cream's house together.

"I'm really, really sorry about falling asleep! I was up half the night thinking about today!"

I apologised for the third time and Silver grinned.

"Nah, it's ok! I was awake most of last night as well. You just ate more."

I nodded gratefully and walked down the street, allowing my fur to dry naturally (big mistake), but making a mental note to brush it out well later.

"Here we are!"

Silver stopped in front of Cream's house, and I could see Cream peering out the window. I sighed and made shooing motions with my paws. Cream looked disappointed but left the window.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow at school!"

I groaned inwardly. First day at Station Square High School. Silver noticed and patted my head.

"You'll be fine! Trust me, there's always one person in the class who's nice!"

I gave him a sceptical look and sighed, smoothing the fur on my head where he had disturbed it.

"I suppose so. See you tomorrow!"

I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and ran over to the door. I turned around and waved at him. He waved back and then disappeared around the corner. I sighed and opened the door, accidentally crushing Cream who was hiding behind the door.

"Oh sorry Cream! I didn't see you hiding there!"

Cream rubbed her head and turned to face me, her eyes glittering with excitement.

"So, how did it go?"

I simply tapped my nose and went up the stairs to my room. I opened my wardrobe and inspected my clothes. The main things in there were Aztec clothes. I decided to just wear the clothes Amy gave me so that I would look normal on my first day. I hope someone I know besides Sonic is in a few of my classes. Or maybe a new friend?
