Glistening. That was one word she'd use to describe the water. The black looking waters displaying a photo quality image of the moon upon its surface. She should probably have been indoors hours ago, but she found herself a tranquil peace out by the lake. Surrounded by trees of all sorts.
The water itself almost reminded her of Never Lake. Though the trees were a sheet reminder that she was far from Little Planet-far from even looking at it-but rather somewhere not to far from her little home. The little home often visited by her little rabbit friend.
She remembered one visit where they made cookies for the guy she loves. She remembered telling Cream that Sonic was sure to notice once they delivered the desert. And she remembered Cream being eager to help her gain recognition from the famous hedgehog.
And she remembered when Sonic came back... When he visited her first, bringing her the prettiest rose she had ever laid eyes on. And a promise that he made, to never leave her.
A small smile tugged at her lips at the fond memory. He hadn't broken that promise, and it seemed as if he didn't intend on it.
Her ears twitched when she heard crunching of twigs and leaves on the floor, and twisted her head around so her gaze lay on the intruder. A blue hedgehog holding a blanket in his arms, smiled at her, offering the material out to her.
"I brought you a blanket. It's a little cold out tonight, I guess."
It was true, she had been a little chilly. But she hadn't even noticed the goosebumps raised on her skin from being so immersed in the cold environment. Her focus wasn't on the temperature.
"Thanks," she stood, taking the blanket from his hands.
Silence overtook them for a while, a simple, comfortable silence. Until Sonic spoke once more, "Lake's pretty." He took a seat on the floor, his fur getting slightly damp from the dew on the green grass.
She smiled, "Yeah... I like it out here. Great thinking place..." Her gaze fell upon the crystal clear images reflected on the surface once more.
"Heh," his finger ran under his nose a little before he leaned back, "I guess it is a pretty nice place to spend some time."
She smiled to herself. She knew the hedgehog never enjoyed spending too much time in one place unless he was sleeping. He was the type who was "go, go, go" about every situation. But then again, you can be that kind of person when you run faster than the speed of sound. She almost envied him for it.
"Only if you like sitting still..." She hadn't even realized his gaze upon her figure, observing her light gestures. He realized she had never put the blanket on, instead it just lay draped over her arm.
"I guess." He stood once more, taking the blanket from her grasp, causing her to look at him. "But sitting still isn't half bad sometimes." He laid the fabric around her shoulders. "Sometimes you just gotta stop and admire the beauty around you."
Her eyes fell, looking upon the floor for a few moments, taking in what he had said.
"That's true... Actually." She giggled a little bit.
His reaction was that of fake hurt, throwing on an appalled expression, "Ames, I'm hurt. Are you saying I can't be right?"
She giggled some more, raising her face so she could look him in the eye, a smile adorning both their faces, "No... I'm saying it's rare."
"I'll give you that."
