Section Four: Holidays
Chapter 10
Jenn's POV
It had been three months since Mephiles joined us. It was finally almost Christmas, my favorite holidays and now I had two guys to keep me warm during the winter nights (wink). I skipped to the cafeteria and grabbed a chocolate pudding. Yes, they now have REAL food in the cafeteria. After our little musical number, James and I had put aside our differences and became friends. Of course he would never admit to it, instead we were just 'acquaintances.' We also kept bugging Shadow about the musical at our now much larger table where all of us sat, as he was only staying in song, but we knew he liked Knuckles, but would never admit to it. Knuckles on the other hand, had said Shadow meant every word. I sat down next to James and nudged him lightly,
"Hey James, it's almost Christmas…isn't that great?" I asked him, a large grin on my face. He looked at me,
"Don't even think about hanging any mistletoe, especially right outside my door" he warned me, turning to his dinner, shooting a glare. I giggled and turned to Rouge,
"I think we have Mr. Scrooge on ours hands" I whispered in her ear. She giggled and assured me,
"Oh, I'll keep that from happening." James grumbled under his breath,
"I'm not a Scrooge. I just don't like mistletoe. Eggman's door is right next to mine and me and him decide to walk out the door at the same time and there's mistletoe hanging there…it's not exactly my favorite scene" he scolded at me. I giggled and nudged Rouge
"Maybe we should hang it there to get a good laugh, eh?" I said. Rouge shook her head
"I don't need to be scarred for life thanks, though, it would be funny to put one outside of Shadows door and send Knuckles over" she teased, looking in Shadows direction. He glared back,
"What are you planning?" he said. She put her hands in front of her face,
"Oh nothing, nothing at all" she said sweetly. He mumbled and continued to eat his food. Mephiles looked over at me and grinned,
"Don't even think about it" I simply said, pointing a fork at him, "Unless you want to die…" He looked over at James,
"Hey James…you want to switch spots?" James looked at Mephiles and noticed Shadow on his right side and Knuckles on his left, drooling for Shadow. He shook his head,
"No, I'm good." Mephiles looked at Rouge, but before he could reply she said 'no.' He got up and left the cafeteria, drool trailing behind him from Knuckles. I looked at Rouge and smiled sweetly, then glomped her. Rouge tried to pull me up a bit,
"Not in the cafe Jenn…" she giggled, a faint blush going across her face. Rouge and I had gotten a stronger relationship over the 3 month period…let's just say we made James blush a few times. I got up and helped Rouge up,
"So, what now?" I asked anyone that was listening. Shadow looked over at me,
"You're the smart one here…you decide what we should do…" Rouge and James looked at Shadow,
"What do you mean she's the smart one?" they said at once, glaring at Shadow. I stood between them, holding my hands out
"Guys, guys. Shadow is Jewish…" I burst out laughing. Rouge and James looked at each other and nodded
"Ohh" they said at once. Shadow glared at me, tapping his fingers on the table,
"What are you saying? Us Jews all look alike to you" he said, trying to keep a straight face. James and Rouge chuckled as they got up
"Well, me and James are gonna go back to my room and watch a movie or something…I dunno yet" Rouge said, taking James' hand. I stood in front of them
"Can I come?" I asked. Rouge shook her head
"I want some alone time with James. It's been a long time since it was just me and him" she giggled. I saw a blush form on James' face. I pouted,
"Awe…but I wanna join…" I said.
"Maybe next time…" Rouge said, kissing my forehead and leaving the cafe with James. Everyone looked at each other and exclaimed all at once,
"WHAT?! ROUGE IS BI?!" I nodded and sat back down,
"So am I…" I began. Shadow scooted towards me and put his hand on my lap,
"So how long have you and Rouge been…yea…" he said. I pushed his hand and got up, turning to leave,
"None of your business Shadow the Hedgehog…that was very racist…" I left the cafe, hearing him reply
"I'm sorry…I was just asking…" but he was then drowned out by the sound of Knuckles tackling Shadow, or so it seemed
"SHADOW I LOVE YOU!!" I heard Shadow scream
"THAT DOESN'T GO IN THERE!" I shook my head and headed back to my room for a nap. I laid down and felt like someone was watching me. I turned around, but no one was there. I turned the other way and came face to face with Mephiles. I jumped and pulled out the bat I kept under my bed and hit him over the head with it. He fell down and I got up, dragging him outside to Rouge's room. I knocked on the door. James opened the door slightly,
"Yes?" he asked with an irritated look on his face. I looked down at Mephiles, then back up at him
"Got any other signs? I found him in my room and didn't know what to do with him…" James thought for a moment, and then an evil smirk crossed his face,
"Oh I know exactly what to do with him…" he replied, stepping out, still wearing his pants. He turned back towards the door "I'll be right back" and took Mephiles, dragging him to some unknown place. I looked around and went into Rouge's room.
Later after James got back and took Rouge back from me. I returned to my room, but on my way there, I saw Mephiles lying against Knuckles' door, with a note taped to his forehead which read:
'I froze myself so you could warm me up, Knuckles ;)
-Shadow 3'
I giggled and knocked on Knuckles' door, making a run for it. All I could hear was a sudden bouncing of a bed, creepy. I walked into my room and shut the door, laying down and falling asleep. I was only woken up once by the sound of Mephiles screaming, but quickly fell back to sleep with an evil grin on my face.
I woke up around 9 am the next morning. It was 19 days 'til Christmas, I was really excited. I jumped out of bed and headed to the cafe for breakfast. I sat down beside Rouge and gave her a hug,
"Hey Rouge…did you hear what happened to Mephiles last night?" I asked her, tilting my head to the side. Rouge looked back at me,
"No, why?" she asked. I giggled and whispered what had happened. She giggled,
"Nice" she said, turning back to her food. I leaned over to James and whispered in his ear what had happened as well, thanks to his sign. He chuckled
"All's well that ends well" he said. Mephiles stormed into the cafe,
"What are you saying all's well that ends well?! It's far from ending well! I had to put up with Knuckles all night!" he said. Shadow glared and leaned over to him
"What do you mean you had to put up with Knuckles all night?! Is that where you were?! You…WHORE!" he said, running out the cafe, crying. Knuckles ran after him
"I'M SORRY HONEY!! I LOVE YOU!!!" he yelled. James shook his head
"And I thought Shadow really was just faking. Oh well, that answers my question…" he began. I leaned over and Amy came running up, holding mistletoe over our heads
"KISSY KISSY!" she said. I giggled and kissed James' cheek. James grumbled,
"Amy…" he said. She ran off before James could get a hold of her. He shook his head "I swear I recognize her from somewhere" I turned my attention towards him again,
"That's Amy Rose…the one that's always after Sonic" I explained.
"Amy Rose…I'll keep that name in mind…" he said, looking away. I got up, an idea popping into my head
"Hey guys! We should organize a talent show it would be so fun!" I began, standing before the people that were sitting at our usual table. Everyone turned their attention to me, as I said that. Doom looked up from his food
"What's a talent show?" he asked, lowering an eye lid and scratching the side of his head with a tentacle. I sighed
"It's a thing where you either sing or dance or tell jokes or something" I explained. James crossed his arms behind his head
"It's where you go to make a complete idiot of yourself in front of millions of people…of course us being in a fanfic we have to do that all the time…" he said. I crossed my arms and turned my head
"I find that racist…" I said. He looked at me, his eyelids lowered
"Bad timing, bad timing" he simply said, shaking his head. I huffed and turned back to everyone else
"Anyways. So who wants to do it with me? We could sing 12 pains of Christmas" I grinned. James chuckled a bit and everyone else nodded in agreement. Shadow came back into the cafe, Knuckles dragging behind him, clung to his leg
"What are you guys laughing about?" he said, crossing his arms over his chest. I giggled,
"Oh we were just saying we're going to organize a talent show and we're gonna sing the 12 pains of Christmas…you wanna join?" I asked him. He tapped his free foot on the ground, then replied,
"Sure why not…but I wanna sing 'If you were gay' too…" he said, chuckling to himself. James chuckled
"What do you mean IF you were gay?" he joked. Shadow shot an icy glare at him
"My therapist said I shouldn't talk to you…or something bad might happen…so I'll let it slide" he simply said.
"Now by therapist, do you mean the rapist?" James joked imitating Sean Connery. Shadow shook his head and sat down beside me,
"Take deep breathes…in…and…out…" he began. James chuckled
"Yea that's what you told Knuckles last night isn't it? Oh I'm sorry I forgot, he was with your frozen counter part last night." Shadow growled and got up. I stood between them, stopping from fighting,
"Guys, guys, Jesus was Jewish…" I laughed. James rolled his eyes
"Your timing is almost as horrifying as Shadows looks…" he said, smirking. Shadow snarled and ran at James. I stood in the way again, holding him back
"Now, now Shadow…you know he's only joking around…calm down…" His eye twitched and his body shook
"I AM CALM!!!!" he said. James shook his head and crossed his arms over his chest, shaking a finger
"Of course I'm joking, I'm talking about the biggest clown around aren't I?" he joked, chuckling again. Shadow sighed and left the room Knuckles still on his leg. I sighed and sat back down, this time beside James. I poked him in the side. He turned and started jabbing me in the side with his fingers. I glared and tackled him to the ground, pinning him. He pushed me off,
"Off of me…" he grumbled. I pouted and sat on him,
"Aww c'mon Jamesykins, it's Christmas…" James' eye twitched
"Jamesykins?! Alright that's it…OFF!" he boomed at me. I sniffled and clung onto him,
"I'm sowwy James…I didn't mean it…please don't do this to me…" I whimpered. Suddenly he was no longer beneath me, but was back at his seat, tapping his foot on the ground,
"Leave….me…ALONE!" he growled loudly. I got up and turned to leave,
"Ok…I'll leave you alone then…I'm so unloved…" I said, starting to walk away. I looked back and saw James shrug
"I LOVE YOU" said a voice from in front of me. I turned and came face to face with Sonic, grinning ear to ear. I stepped back and moved towards the table
"YOU!" I exclaimed. He grinned, James interrupting
"U is the 21st letter of the alphabet" he pointed out. I glared and turned back to Sonic
"What would you like Sonic?" I asked. He smiled sweetly and crossed his arms over his chest,
"I just came to say thanks for saving me from that monster…" he explained. I shrugged,
"Whatever Sonic…" I simply said. Sonic lowered his eyes and turned to leave,
"I know when I'm not wanted…" he said. I sighed and pulled him over into a hug,
"I'm sorry Sonic…you wanna go catch a movie later or something….as friends" I said. He smiled and gave me a thumbs up
"Ok, what time? Six maybe?" he asked. I nodded and turned back to the table,
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You shouldn't be dating fellow agents Jenn…" James said, waving a finger at me. Rouge turned to James
"You're one to talk…what about us huh?" she scolded. He put his hands out, shaking his head,
"That's different…your not a fellow agent…you're a far higher rank than I am…" he explained. I reached over and poked Rouge's side. She turned at me and glared,
"What you doin'?" she said. I whistled,
"Nothing, nothing at all" I lied, then go up and wrapped my arms around her neck, "How about you, me and James…" I whispered in her ear. She giggled,
"When?" she asked. I smirked and told her right now. Rouge looked over at James, "What do you think?" she questioned him. He shrugged,
"Do I really have a say in the matter?" he asked. We both shook our heads and dragged him to Rouge's room, evil grins on our faces.
James' POV
We entered Rouge's room; I was quickly pinned to the bed. I didn't realize my clothes were off 'til I saw them on the floor beside the bed. I saw Rouge and Jenn's clothe fly past me, Rouge's shirt landing on my face. By the time I had moved it out of the way I felt them crawl on top of me.
Now, normally I don't talk about what I do in bed, but… This time is no different, so after Jenn and Rouge had finished with me and had worn themselves out, I was able to get dressed and get out into the hall. I shut the door behind me, making sure to lock it. I walked down the hall, seeing the doctor talking with the secretary. He seemed to have taken a liking to her and she seemed to return the affection. I looked around and saw all the Christmas decorations. Doom had returned to his home in the ground back at the battle field. I sighed and was heading back up to my room. From outside Rouge's door I could hear her and Jenn starting up again and decided I should go out for a bit longer. I headed outside. It was cold with all the snow and frost. I had remembered Jenn building a snow man when the snow first fell. She was really excited, but no one else joined her so she said she'd try again later when everyone was wiling to help her. She's still waiting. I walked around and felt the cold wind blow through my clothes and fur. Maybe I should have brought a coat or sweater. I decided it didn't matter right now. I watched the sky.
I think I was walking around for a few hours, since I left in the morning and got back at night fall. I don't know what it was that made the time pass so quickly, maybe it was my day dreaming, trying to keep the feeling of cold out. I finally returned to the base and saw Eggman sitting with the secretary, the two of them talking over cups of what I guessed was coco. I shivered and brushed the snow off of me. I headed up the hall and listened at Rouge's door. It sounded like the two of them had finally calmed down, but I didn't want to risk anything. I decided to open the door a splinter and peek in. I did so and grumbled when I saw the lights were off. I still couldn't see well in dim light, so I was about to shut the door when I felt a hand grab me by the collar
"Just where have you been?" I heard Rouge asked "Do you know how long you were gone? We had to entertain ourselves without you" she grumbled. I heard Jenn sipping coco over by the bed and felt Rouge sigh. "Well, we've tired ourselves out again, so you can go for now, but be ready for all day tomorrow, Jenn wanted the THREE of us" she warned me. I sighed and nodded as she released me "I'll see you in the morning sweetie" she said sweetly kissing my cheek. I nodded and realized they were both still undressed. I left and Rouge shut the door. I entered my room and laid down on my bed. I was dozed out in a few minutes and dreamt of the cold walk I had taken. I was awakened by a warm sensation under my stomach. I grumbled and opened an eye, seeing Jenn's dress on the door knob. I sighed shutting my eye again.
"What are you doing?" I asked my voice weak. My throat felt weird. I felt the sensation stop for a moment and a slurping noise
"Rouge might have been tired, but I'm not" she explained in a slightly odd tone. I sighed and felt her resume. I decided to let her have her fun and quickly dozed back to sleep. I woke up every time she decided to try something else. I wasn't sure how many times she made me burst, but every time I did I felt a bit weaker. I woke up again, to find she had finally had enough of my 'tool' as she had called it a few times that night. She wasn't in the room, but my blanket was gone. I held my shoulders shivering. There was no heating unless I turned it on, but I had just walked in and dropped on my bed and Jenn was keeping me warm enough with her games. Her leaving meant I was left cold. I shivered and tried to fall back to sleep. I slept, but kept waking up. My head felt like it was on fire, but the rest of my body was too cold to move.
When dawn finally came I felt it warm up, but not by much. I sighed still shivering and noticed Jenn hadn't pulled my pants back onto me, so I weakly pulled them up, but couldn't focus enough to do them up. I groaned trying to sit up, but my arms gave out and I fell back onto the bed. I heard a knock at the door.
"Time to get up babe" I heard Rouge call to me "Remember what we're doing today" she teased. I tried to call back, but it hurt just to breathe, so all I could manage was a painful cough. I heard her knock again "babe?" she asked. She opened the door and looked at me "babe what's wrong?" she began, then she looked around and held her shoulders "God, it's freezing in here" she walked over to the bed and sat beside me. She looked at me as I coughed. She felt my head and then gasped "Oh my babe, you're burning up" she said in a gentle voice. I shut my eyes and heard her leave. I heard foot steps enter the room and felt my arms and legs being picked up. I opened my eyes slightly and say that it was Omega and the doctor Rouge had gotten to bring me to her bed. I was laid down on her bed. I heard Rouge tell them and Jenn to go for a bit and that she was going to take care of me. I heard them leave and then Rouge removed my clothes. She wrapped the blanket around and put a comforter over me. I felt the wet spots from her, Jenn and me all near my crotch on the blanket. They gave me shivers. Rouge put a cold clothe on my forehead. It felt good. She kissed my cheek and I felt her sit on the side of the bed. She rubbed my stomach. I soon fell asleep.
I woke up when it was night. I managed to open my eyes and felt able to move. I looked around and saw Rouge at her desk fixing her hair, wearing the black night gown I had first seen her in. I blushed a bit and coughed. I saw her turn to me and she walked over, smiling sweetly.
"How's my babe?" she asked.
"Better…" I managed to say. She giggled.
"Good" she said kissing my cheek "I got a surprise for my sick little patient" she said sweetly "Close your eyes." I closed my eyes and heard clothes ruffling. I heard a zipper and the sound of her putting on leather. "Okay, you can look." I opened my eyes and felt myself blush terribly and my lower area stiffen up. She was dressed in a small nurse outfit, which was far too small for her. Half of the buttons on the shirt were undone, revealing almost all of her cleavage, barely holding in her chest. The skirt was short and I mean short, if she didn't stand straight with her legs together, I could see right up it and I had gotten a glace when she walked over to the bed and saw she wasn't wearing anything under it. She sat on the bed beside me. I think she meant to rub my stomach, but was petting my crotch. I blushed worse as she leaned down and kissed me, staying leant over long enough for me to see down her shirt. She sat up and licked her upper lip "You like?" she asked. She stopped petting me for the moment.
"Yes…" I admitted to her. She smiled sweetly and continued to rub. I shut my eyes in pleasure and she kissed my cheek again. I opened my eyes and saw her look down and giggle. I looked down and saw that a bump had formed where she was rubbing.
"Is it ready for use?" she asked. I nodded as she kissed me deeply. She broke the kiss and unwrapped me from the blankets. I watched her crawl on top of me and…
Whoops, almost told you what I never talk about (XP). Well, after Rouge had treated my illness with her 'special' methods, she wrapped me back up into the blanket shell and went to take a shower. I slowly drifted to sleep, but not before feeling Rouge crawl into the bed beside me, her hair a bit wet. She covered us in an additional blanket. She was only under a fresh blanket, while I slept under it, wrapped in a comforter and blanket. She snuggled up to me and I could feel her still wet cheek press against mine. Imagining her undressed and soaking wet stiffened me up; of course her petting me to sleep helped it along. I soon fell to sleep, dreaming of what Rouge did to me in my sleep. It was a very enjoyable night.
Jenn's POV
I woke up early that morning. I couldn't remember what happened last night, all I remember is I wasn't myself. I think Peggy took over my body again, I'm not entirely sure. All I know is I woke up with an extra blanket and my dress was on the floor. I was ready to have my fun day with James and Rouge, but when Rouge went to get him, she came back and told me he was sick. I sighed and had left for awhile once Rouge had gotten James to her bed. I had returned a few times to entertain her while James slept. She was lots of fun, especially when she unwrapped James from us to play with, but he slept through all of it though that didn't stop him from bursting all over us.
I went to bed later that day and hoped the next day would be better. I woke up the next morning in my room .I got up and quickly put on a turtleneck sweater and a pair of warm pants, that's right PANTS. Not all furry girls have to wear skirts ( . ). I left my room and went to Rouge's, knocking on the door,
"Rouge, James, you guys in there?" I asked sweetly. Rouge answered the door quietly,
"Yes?" she asked, a blanket wrapped around her. I blushed and looked past her,
"Can I see the 'patient'? I'll be quiet, I promise…" I said. Rouge looked back and nodded,
"Okay, but shush, he's still sleeping…" she warned me, stepping out of the way. I sat down on the bed and watched James sleep. I touched his cheek lightly. He still felt rather warm. I lay down beside him and put an arm around him, trying to warm him up some more. Rouge sat down on the other side of the bed, wrapping the blanket around him and her. I snuggled closer to him, laying my head on his chest. I yawned and closed my eyes, feeling rather sleepy. What did I do the other night? I thought to myself. I felt Rouge lift the blanket and I felt her cover me as well. I fell into a deep sleep, waking up a few times to check if James was awake. I woke up once to hear Rouge in the shower, but that was about it. Eventually I woke up and looked around. James was still sleeping and it was almost lunch time according to the clock on the side of the bed. I leaned over to Rouge
"Should we at least wake him up to give him something to eat? I mean, he hasn't eaten in 2 days" I asked her. She shook her head and looked down at him,
"No, it would be a waste to try and wake him up. Besides, he probably couldn't keep anything down anyway…" she yawned. I thought for a moment,
"He might be able to keep down my 'special' soup" I smiled sweetly. Rouge raised a brow at me
"What do you mean 'special' soup?" she asked. I giggled and got up,
"Oh you'll see" I said, leaving the room and coming back with a bowl of 'special' soup. I sat down again, getting a questioning look from Rouge,
"What's in it?" she asked. I grinned,
"Secret ingredient that makes you better no matter what" I replied. She looked at me weirdly,
"Can we know exactly what those ingredients are…'cause he might be allergic…" she explained. I thought for a moment and pulled out the packet of 'special' ingredients that my mother had stored away in the back of the cupboard. I looked at the label, and saw the only ingredients were onion powder and parmesan cheese. I looked back at Rouge,
"Onion powder and parmesan cheese…" I said to her. She looked down at him again,
"Hmm…I don't see how that's going to help him…but if you must give it to him" Rouge said. I shook James lightly to wake him up. He slowly opened his eyes and turned to me,
"When did you get here? Am I dead?" were the first words that came out of his mouth. I shook my head and held up the spoon to his mouth,
"Here…take this…it will make you feel better" I held the spoon to his lips. He held his mouth closed and shook his head. I growled, "C'mon James…for me?" I pleaded. That only made him shake his head more. I sighed, "Fine. Take it for ROUGE then…" He paused for a moment and sighed, leaving his mouth open. It put the spoon in his mouth and fed him the soup. He shut his eyes tightly and swallowed hard,
"Bleh, this stuff tastes worse then Buckley's" he said, coughing. I giggled and hugged him,
"So how do you feel now?" I asked him. He stuck his tongue out at me,
"Not only do I feel terrible, but my tongue hurts too now" he grumbled, laying his head back down. I looked at the label and it read:
'Must be consumed entirely before effect will kick in.' He shook his head,
"One spoon full is bad enough. You're not shoving more of that garbage down my throat" he growled. I pouted and looked at Rouge. She shrugged,
"It's up to him…I'm not his mother" she replied. I sighed and put the soup on the table,
"Fine then, I'll have to pull out my secret weapon" I said, standing up. He looked back up at me,
"Your giant hammer?" he asked. I shook my head and pulled out my microphone, beginning to sing,
"If you were gay, that would be okay! Because hey, I'd like you anyway…" I began. He shook his head at me,
"Jenn I am trying to sleep" he said carefully, without separating his teeth. I resumed my song,
"Because you see, if it were me…I would feel free to say I'm gay, but I'm not gay…" I continued. He mumbled again,
"Jenn, please, I am trying to sleep" he replied. I stared at him weirdly, 'til he questioned, "What?" I grinned and sang again,
"If you were queer" I started, as he grumbled. "I'd still be here…because you're dear to me, because I know that you would accept me too…if I told you today, hey guess what I'm gay, but I'm not gay…" I sang. He raised a brow at me,
"Wait a minute…you are so gay…" he said, still keeping his teeth together. I glared at him, continuing to sing,
"I'm happy just being with you, so what should it matter to me what you do in bed with GUYS!" James shook his head,
"JENN THAT IS WRONG!" I grinned,
"NO IT'S NOT…if you were gay, I'd shout hooray! And here I'd stay, but I wouldn't get in you're way. You can count on me to always be beside you everyday to tell you it's okay, you were just born that way…and as they say it's in your DNA, you're gay!" I sang, making him grind his teeth together,
"I AM NOT GAY!" I giggled and sang again,
"If you were gay" I finished. He sighed, closing his mouth again. I sat back down next to him, "Come on James…please?" I asked him. He shook his head. Boy he's stubborn I thought. I kissed his neck lightly. He took a deep breath through his noise, making sure his mouth was shut. I wrapped an arm around him, doing so again. He continued to breathe through his nose. I climbed on top of him and looked down. I saw sweat roll down the side of his face. "If you don't take the medicine…I'll do unmentionable things to you…" I explained to him. James muttered,
"What else is new?" he asked, sarcastically. I grinned and pulled the blankets off, accidentally knocking Rouge off the bed with them. He shivered and wrapped his arms around himself I laid down on top of him to keep him warm. I thought for a moment,
"What will make you take the medicine?" I asked him, tilting my head to the side. He glared up at me,
"Nothing" he replied, teeth chattering. I pulled the blankets back over us and laid there on top of him. I rubbed my nose against his neck lightly,
"Please James…?" I asked. He sighed,
"No" he replied, simply. I rubbed myself against him, waiting for a reaction. I felt a bump form under me. I giggled and kissed up his neck, to his lips. He kept his mouth shut. I kissed his lips, holding the kiss. I felt him spit in my mouth, but I didn't care. I turned around and took a sip of soup, turning back to kiss him again, but his mouth was kept shut. He shook his head. I made a pleading look in my eyes, but he continued to shake his head. I sighed and mumbled,
"If I take some will you take some?" I asked him. He shook his head again. I sighed and swallowed it, shivering at the taste. I thought for a moment and went back to rubbing against him. I felt the bump come back. I kissed his neck lightly and yea…you can guess what happened next. Unfortunately he managed to keep his mouth shut through the whole thing. I panted and laid back down on him. He mumbled in my ear,
"I'm stubborn, deal with it" he coughed. I rubbed his throat lightly and felt him gulp. I rubbed my nose against his cheek,
"Well I guess I'll have to stay here until you get better…" I saw his eyes widen,
"Give me the soup…" he said. I grinned and fed it to him. He almost through it back up. "There I drank the soup…I'm still sick…are you happy now?" he coughed. I looked down and got up,
"I'll go then…" I said. Rouge patted me on the back,
"Don't take it personally…he's not himself right now" she assured me. I sighed and went outside, sitting down against the wall. I heard a tapping of a foot coming from down the hallway. I got up and followed the noise, seeing Sonic standing there with his arms crossed, tapping his foot,
"H…hi Sonic, what's up?" I asked. He looked up at me, not seeming like himself,
"Oh. Hey. Did you forget something two days ago at six?" he asked me. I looked down; remember I invited him to a movie two days ago,
"I'm sorry Sonic…I kind of forgot…listen, how about I take you to dinner right now?" I said to him. He shook his head,
"No it's fine…I haven't even had lunch yet" he turned around, ready to walk away. I wrapped my arms around his waist, hugging him from behind,
"I'm sorry…" I said, letting go. He spoke to me, with his back still turned,
"Here…before I forget…" he said tossing a small velvet box at me, as he walked off. I opened it and found a pair of earrings. I looked down and went back to my spot. I then heard a voice from above me,
"It's not fair is it? Rouge gets everything she wants…even the man of your dreams" Peggy began, "but yet, you do nothing about it. No wonder you are barely strong enough. If it wasn't for us, you never would have made it through mom's death…" she said, lifting my chin towards her. I heard Marie from my right,
"If you let us help, we can make all the evil people like Rouge disappear so you can have all the nice people like James and Shadow all to yourself…" she said, grinning ear to ear. Emily came up beside her, cackling,
"Join us sister. With our help you could be one of the most powerful beings in the universe, but we're only going to ask you once…don't come crawling back to us later because we won't help you later, unless of course, you accept us now…" I shook my head and put my hands over my ears,
"I will never listen to you…leave me alone…" I said getting up and running down the hallway. I heard Peggy's voice from behind me,
"You can run, but you can't hide my pretty…" she said. "You have 5 seconds to agree our conditions or we'll take over by force…" she laughed evilly. I continued to run, suddenly feeling very weak. All I remember was running from my three personalities.
I woke up and looked at my hands which were covered by blood. I looked around frantically. There was blood everywhere. I got up and ran to Rouge's room and kicked down the door, but there was no one there. I ran to the front desk and saw Eggman talking to the secretary, blood running down their faces. I rushed over, "Do you know where Rouge and James are?" I asked. They both shook their heads, then resumed talking, speaking like the people from Charlie Brown. I sighed and ran to Shadows room, seeing him with Knuckles, doing unmentionable things. I ran over to them and pushed Knuckles aside, hugging Shadow. He looked at me, his eye twitching,
"This is just a dream…your not going to kill me…and Knuckles didn't just rape me in my sleep…3 times…" he pinched his cheek, "ok I'm not dreaming…oh well at least I enjoy the se- I mean hi…" he blushed terribly. I giggled, shaking a finger at him,
"Bad Shadow…wait that means you finally admitted you were gay…" I hugged him. He blushed and looked over at Knuckles,
"Yea yea, laugh at me if you want to…" he said looking back at me. I smiled and hugged him tightly,
"You're so funny Shadow…do you know where James is?" I asked him. He chuckled and stretched,
"Dead if I'm lucky" he replied, putting his hands behind his head. I shook my head and walked out of the room, coming face to face with Peggy,
"Like I said I left the people that actually CARED about you…" she began. I stepped back and bumped into Marie,
Where you think your going hmm? Isn't this what you wanted? Now you have James all to yourself…well, if you can find him that is…" she cackled. I ran the other direction, tripping over Peggy's foot,
"Where you going Jenn? Don't you want to play with us?" she giggled, pulling me off the ground. I shook my head and ran for it. I ran to James' room and kicked down the door and found a statue made of dominos of me holding James by the throat and standing on Rouge's head. I heard a voice near the statue,
"Pretty isn't it?" I heard Emily say, "I made it all by myself…don't you like it?" she giggled maniacally. I shook my head and ran down towards the cafeteria. I stopped when I saw all the soldiers all over on the tables, but there was one table, the one which we usually sat at and it was the only clean one. It had a silver platter on it. I lifted the cover and saw the Commander's head on it with an apple in his mouth. I jumped back in fright and ran the other way, out the door. I saw the shadows of my personalities following me, so I decided to run faster. I stopped, remember I left Shadow, Knuckles and Mephiles behind and ran back. I was stopped by Peggy, an orb in her hand,
"You're probably wondering where your friend Mephiles hmm?" she said reading my thoughts. She showed me an image of Mephiles,
"Oh no… Jenn's killing everyone… She'll kill me next…. No, not if I beat her to it" he boomed, pulling down a rope and hanging himself with it "Wait… I don't breathe air, GOD DAMN IT!!" I cringed, running passed her and ran to Mephiles room, opening the door,
"Mephiles honey…what are you doing?" I asked, going over and cutting down the rope. He fell down and stepped away from me,
"You're here to kill me aren't you?" he asked, shaking. I shook my head and hugged him,
"I would never do that…I love you Mephiles…" I replied. He looked at me, teary eyed,
"You…love me?" he said, seeming not to believe what I had just said. I nodded and kissed his cheek,
"Of course I love you…" I smiled. He glomped me and I fell to the floor. I woke up with a start and saw Sonic standing over me,
"Oh good, your awake. I found you laying in the hall and decided, since I'm nice and all to bring you into my room so you can rest…" I smiled up at him,
"Thank you Sonic…I'll be right back…" I said to him, getting up and rushing to Rouge's room, glomping her, "Oh Rouge! Your alive…your really alive!" She looked at me weirdly, wearing her nurse outfit again,
"Why wouldn't I be?" she asked, holding me. I shook my head and laid it on her shoulder,
"It's a long story…" I replied.
James' POV
I woke up that night, but didn't get much of a chance to catch my breath. Apparently Jenn had a bad dream, so Rouge decided to cheer her up, of course that involved me as well, so I woke up to a bit of a startle.
Well they worked me 'til I fell back to sleep. I knew I was still sick, otherwise I wouldn't black out so much sooner then them. I shut my eyes and slept peacefully, well my mind slept easily anyway, I'm not sure the rest of me got any rest.
Anyhow, I woke up, looking around. I was in the whiteness again. I didn't bother to check if I was dressed, I didn't have clothes on when I fell asleep anyway. I sighed and crossed my arms waiting for Disfigment. I waited, but wasn't answered by him. I was answered with a harsh pain in my back. I held my sides and not only felt, but heard my back tare open. My vision went from poor to barely able to make out the blue figure now floating before me. Its hands, legs, quills and tails were all dripping in my blood. I sighed and felt my strength come back to me. I looked around as my vision slowly sharpened back to normal. I turned to see Disfigment walk over to the blue figure before me. I looked over the blue figure, it felt like looking in a mirror. He was the same as me, but no red streaks and his eyes glowed purple. He too was undressed, but none of any features he may have had were shown, aside from his eyes and nose. I decided it was male, seeing as it looked too much like me to be a female. His quills, unlike mine, all tilted upwards. My top quill was the only one that tilted down, but the rest of mine didn't tilt as high up. He looked at Disfigment then back at me.
"James" he started, with no mouth I wondered how he was talking. "Do you know what you are?" he asked no emotion findable in his voice.
I shrugged "A hedgehog?" I asked.
"Yes and no" he started "You are a hedgehog, but that is only part of what you are. You are one of five SC model creations of Dr. Mecha." I shook my head at him.
"What does SC mean?" I asked him curiously.
"SC are two letters that were used for your label, they have no further meaning. You and I are SC-1, the first fully functional SC model" he explained to me "The form you are currently residing in is one of many forms you have taken. This form however, is very odd. You have taken this form once before, when each form was only to occur once" he said coldly.
"I shrugged "Maybe I just looked my best in this form" I joked. Disfigment shook his head.
"No, something else has acted with your awakening process and has caught Nova's attention" Disfigment continued "We have yet to figure out what has caused this, but it is the original reason Nova was coming. He had turned to leave, but once your friend had her dream, Nova had turned back and decided to destroy this planet after all..." he muttered coldly.
I nodded "So that's why he didn't come yet" I said. I had wondered where he was before, but after two months I decided there was a mistake on which planet he was going to.
"James, we wish to know what it was to cause this pause in change" SC-1 started again "We believe it has something to do with the girl from your last time awake was the cause of this."
"Girl from my last life?" I asked curiously. Disfigment lifted his hand and made a small mirror appear. I looked into it. I saw a small blond girl in a blue dress on the top half of the mirror and a small pink hedgehog on the bottom half. I shook my in confusion. I thought for a moment. I looked at SC-1, who turned to me after glancing into the mirror.
"Maria" he said calmly. I don't know why, but that name sounded familiar. I thought for a moment. Suddenly a sharp pain struck my head and I fell to my knees, shutting my eyes.
I opened my eyes and looked around. I was on a large red ship. I looked around and realized it was one of the doctor's old battle cruisers. I walked down the runway and saw a group of furries. I walked over, but saw the doctor's Egg-Emperor. It was a large golden knight that represented Eggman. I backed up and watched it battle with the furries. Some of them I recognized, others I had never seen before, but yet that all looked familiar. I heard a rumbling and turned around. Suddenly I was no longer on the cruiser; I was in an empty field. I saw Sonic and Shadow with a Silver hedgehog and purple cat. They were all facing me.
"You guys are going down!" Sonic boomed past me. I turned to see who he was talking to. There stood Jenn, with the three hedgehogs I had seen trapped in those pods. I backed up and listened to them argue. I learned the silver hedgehog was named Silver and the cat was Blaze. The red hedgehog from the pods was Sean, the yellow one was Jamie and the black one was Andrew. I watched as Sonic transformed into his super form and fought Sean. Sean won and then Shadow stepped forward. He was easily tossed aside by Jamie. Go Jamie, I thought to myself chuckling. Silver fought with Andrew and there was an amazing cat fight between Jenn and Blaze, though they managed not to rip each other's clothes off. I heard Jamie curse because of it. Well Sonic and his side were beaten and Sean was ready to finish them off using something called Chaos Blast. Then that pink hedgehog stepped in his way from nowhere.
"Don't you dare hurt Sonic anymore" she roared at him. Sean chuckled.
"Get out of the way or we'll go through you" he warned her. Suddenly I felt my heart beat speed up. I looked down holding my chest. Then I felt the impulse. I used Chaos Control and stepped in front of Sean and booted him into Jamie.
"You'll be going through me first" I heard myself say. Amy Rose, I remembered. She had been my goal in my last life. I had been trying to figure out who she was and how she was related to Maria. Maria was a girl from Shadow's memories, whom I had inherited in this body before. In this life I was one of Eggman's robots, but I had decided to find my own goal after he had gone missing. I remembered it all, my adventure with Sonic, Shadow, Rouge, Omega, Amy, Cream, Big, Tails, Knuckles, Blaze, Silver, Jenn, Sean, Andrew, Jamie, Vector, Espio and even Charmy Bee. I nodded and shut my eyes. I opened them, back in the white area, standing before SC-1 and Disfigment.
"Now you remember?" Disfigment asked me. I nodded and looked at my hands. I was in this body before and I was one of five robots made by Eggman in my last life. This life was a continued story. I had survived the battle, although I had vanished after I had activated my Perfect Form, which was the blue blur standing before me. I clenched my fists and looked at them.
"So how long do I have?" I asked them "Until I lose my memory again and forget everything that's happened to me in this life?" They both shook their heads.
"You have until this year closes, then you will lose all thoughts you had. Nova is coming to prevent you from having this life again, you were not meant to have it the second time" Disfigment explained. I nodded.
"So, I'll forget everything, even all the things Rouge has done for me?" I asked them "And it's because of me Nova's coming?" I asked curiously. They shook their heads.
"No, you are only the reason he looked in this direction. Jenn is the reason he is coming. She represents one of the other SC models that were destroyed in you last life" SC-1 explained "Jenn had been corrupted by the seven sins and Nova fears that they'll spread to others and bring an end to not only your planet, but also the rest of the universe, so he believes destroying the planet alone is a much better idea."
I shook my head "So how do I escape?" I asked "I'm getting another life aren't I?" I asked him.
"You will travel to the nearest planet." SC-1 continued. I shook my head.
"Why me though? Why am I the one who you guys watch over?" I asked.
"I am you" SC-1 reminded me. I nodded, rolling my eyes and then turned to Disfigment.
"I am a messenger who was sent to tell you of Nova's coming. I was not told why to tell you, I was just told to do as I was wished of" he said shaking his head. I sighed and looked to the sky. I saw Disfigment fade away. I felt my perfect form crawl into my back. I winced in pain.
When I opened my eyes it was morning. Jenn and Rouge had tired themselves out, still lying beside me. I got and looked at the calendar. I was feeling myself again. I got dressed. I heard Rouge wake up and turned to look at her, but then retuned to putting my shirt on.
"What's up?" she asked yawning "All better?" she asked. I nodded and fixed my shoes on to my feet. She walked over and wrapped her arms around my neck "What's wrong babe?" she asked, her voice still sleepy. I sighed and looked at her.
"If I knew, I'd tell you" I said sadly.
Jenn's POV
I slowly opened my eyes and saw James and Rouge standing at the foot of the bed with their arms around each other. I yawned and stretched, going over to them and laying my chin on James' shoulder, "What's up people? Is there something wrong?" I asked them. Rouge shrugged,
"I don't know, but I think James is all better" she said. I smiled and kissed James on the lips softly,
"So do you forgive me for forcing you to take that medicine?" I asked him. He shifted his eyes at me,
"Right now that soup doesn't bother me that much, what does are those seven sins of yours" he replied. My eyes turned into slits and I kissed him again. He raised a brow at me. I huffed and kissed him again,
"Kiss me back damn you" I said. His eyes also became slits, as he glared at me,
"Do you really want to go there?" he said. I pouted and kissed him again, not giving up. Again he spat in my mouth. I growled,
"You are a very cruel person you know that? I love you and this is how you treat me? It's not my fault I have problems…" I said to him. He shook his head at me,
"You think you have problems?" he sighed. Rouge turned to him,
"What do you mean by that?" she asked, scolding him. James rubbed his head,
"All she has are three voices in her head…I have a voice that has a split personality in mine" he explained. Rouge giggled,
"A voice with a split personality, that's a new one" she rested her head on his other shoulder. I wrapped my arms around Rouge and James, kissing Rouge on the lips this time. She returned the kiss, unlike a certain blue hedgehog I know. Amy randomly burst into the room and held mistletoe over James' and my head. James looked at Amy and shook his head. She giggled and continued to hold it there,
"Come on James, kiss her…its tradition…kiss the pretty hedgehog!" she smiled. He sighed, shrugging and then kissed me. I smiled and kissed him back, holding it for a while. He broke the kiss after a bit to catch his breath and then Rouge took her turn kissing James. I looked over at Amy, an evil grin on my face. Her eyes widened and she took off running. I ran after her, chasing her down the hallway. I caught a glimpse of Sonic peeking his head out and heard him say,
"No one's going to outrun Amy but me!" he took off after us, joining the chase. I continued to chase her, catching Doom and Mephiles on the way. We ended up having the whole base in the chase, it was kinda fun actually. We finally stopped and ended up in the cafe where everyone was served hot chocolate. While everyone was drinking it, I snuck back to Rouge's room and tackled James onto the bed, grinning. I turned to Rouge,
"Can you leave us alone for a couple of minutes? I have some unfinished business to take care off, unless you wanna watch…" I giggled. Rouge sat down on the couch.
"Hey it's my room…" she said, crossing her arms over her chest. I shrugged and grinned down at James. Sweat began to roll down his face,
"Now what?" he asked me. I giggled and kissed his lips softly,
"Nothing…" I replied. I kissed him again, sliding my tongue into his mouth. He muttered under his breath,
"Out…now…" he said. I pulled my tongue out and pouted. I kissed him again, this time without my tongue. Still no response. I grumbled and slid my hand down between his legs and rubbed gently. A light blush went over his face. I kissed him again. Still no bloody response. I sighed and pulled off my clothes, tossing them aside and rubbed against him. I also heard Rouge whistle. More sweat ran down his face and the blushing got worse. I grinned and kissed his neck softly and soon felt the bump. I giggled and kissed him. Still no response. I kissed down his chest and got just above his lower area,
"You gonna kiss me now?" I asked him. He shook his head. I glared and licked it. I saw him start to sweat more. I licked again. More sweating. And again. I saw him lie his head back finally. I crawled back up and kissed him softly. He finally kissed back. I smirked and wrapped my arms around his neck, "Finally gave in, huh cutie?" I said to him. He shook his head,
"Lucky shot" he said simply. I ran my hands through his fur and kissed his nose. The song 'Angel' began to play from somewhere. I looked around, but couldn't figure out where it was coming from. James looked around as well, "What the ?" he said. Rouge shrugged. I rubbed myself against him, a soft purring coming from the back of my throat and I felt the bump get bigger. I snickered and kissed him deeply and yea. I know it might sound childish, but I don't talk about things that happen in bed, unless it's Knuckles or Shadow, but anyways.
A few hours or so it seemed, I sat up and looked down at James. He sighed. I laid back down on him and laid my head on his chest, whispering softly,
"I love you…" I said to him. He shut his eyes and pretended to fall asleep. I huffed and nuzzled his neck, "James…I said I love you…" I repeated. He turned his head, trying to hide his smirk. I sniffled, my eyes welling with tears, "I love you James!" He patted my arm,
"Yea, yea" he said teasingly. A tear fell on him,
"I'm not kidding…I do love you James…" He raised a brow,
"Uh, we barely know each other outside of bed" he said simply. I looked towards the wall, and sighed. "Well, it's true" he said. I looked up at him, wiping my wet eye,
"I know…but I've had these feelings for you for the longest time…and…and…" I couldn't finish my sentence. Rouge interrupted me,
"Jenn, that's called an orgasm" she teased. I shook my head and buried my face into James' chest,
"I shouldn't have said anything…" I said. I looked up at him hopefully. He shrugged. I lowered my eye lids, then hugged him tightly, "I LOVE YOU JAMES!" He blinked. I sniffled, "Don't you love me?" I asked him. He looked at the ceiling in thought. I stared at him. He continued to think. "Well?" I asked him. He gestured for me to wait. I tapped my fingers on his chest. He looked down,
"I can't think if you're being noisy" he said. I bit my lip and looked down,
"You shouldn't have to think this long…" I whimpered. He shook his head,
"I'm not thinking about it…I'm thinking about how to answer…" he said, looking back at the ceiling. I laid my head back down and closed my eyes. He snapped his fingers, "I love you too, but I'm not IN love with you…" was his answer. I looked up at him and kissed him softly on the lips. He kissed me back gently. I looked over at Rouge,
"Are you IN love with me Rouge?" I asked her. She looked at the ceiling for a moment,
"I don't think I'm IN love with you…but I do love you" she smiled. I lifted my hand and pet James' ear. He leaned his head down and drifted to sleep. I laid my head on his chest and fell asleep on top of him with a smile on my face.
I woke up to a bang on the door. I rubbed my eyes and saw Rouge passed out on the couch. I looked over at the clock which read 2 am. I sighed and looked down at James who was sleeping peacefully. I nuzzled his neck gently and purred, not being able to go back to sleep. From the dim light I saw a figure standing by the now opened door. I grumbled. I saw the figure move towards me and noticed it was the clocked figure again, aka, Silver. I lifted my head and saw him sit down on the bed,
"It's been a while" he said to me, placing a hand on mine. I nodded and held his hand,
"Yes it has…" I replied. "Where have you been? I haven't seen you in almost 4 months" I said to him. He looked away, then looked back at me,
"There were some complications…" he explained. "You're personalities weren't too keen on me coming to see you so I had to sneak past them" he continued. I looked towards the door and saw Peggy, Emily and Marie standing there with their arms crossed. I looked back at Silver and felt him touch my stomach, "I see you're expecting soon…I don't know what this baby is going to be like, but I sure hope it's not bad…" he said, taking his hand away. I suddenly felt sick to my stomach and quietly got up and ran to the bathroom, throwing up. When I came back out, James was no longer in bed and I saw the light turn on. I looked over at the door, seeing him leaning against the frame,
"Whoever's in here who wasn't invited…prepare to be booted out" he grumbled, stretching. I walked over to James and wrapped my arms around him,
"Oh ignore Si-I mean ignore the cloaked figure…" I said, but before I could say anything else, he had one arm pressed against Silver's neck. I winced, "Don't hurt him…he's a…friend" I explained to him. He looked over at me,
"Well this is Rouge's room…you shouldn't be inviting random people" he scolded, tossing Silver to the ground, his hood falling to the ground. I shook my head and walked over to James,
"I didn't invite him…he came when I was sleeping" I tried to explain. He interrupted me,
"So he broke in eh?" he cracked his knuckles, "So then I'll break him in" he threatened. I stood in front of James,
"Please…don't hurt my grandson…he didn't mean any harm…" I continued to explain to him. His face lit up like a street light,
"GRANDSON? HOW CAN HE BE YOUR GRANDSON? YOU HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A SON YET! AND IF YOU HAVE, HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE A KID ALREADY…unless you gave birth to him at your birth" he mumbled the last part. I sighed and wrapped my arms around his neck, explaining everything I knew so far. He pulled me off, "So you're telling me that the only reason GUN was protecting you was because of THAT dirt bag?" he asked, taking in all the information. I nodded, trying to hug him again. He held me back with his index finger; "Answer the question and stop being so touchy!" he glared. I looked down, then back up at him,
"Yes it's the only reason GUN is protecting me. If my son Chaz isn't born, then Silver won't be born and world will be destroyed." James turned to the calendar,
"Well unless Silver is born in the next five minutes…its going to happen anyway" he shouted, waking Rouge. She opened her eyes and looked over,
"What happened? Who's there? Awe Jenn I told you, you don't need to order hookers, we have James" she said. James turned to look at Rouge, his face blush red,
"HEY" he exclaimed. I turned towards Silvers direction, but he was already gone. I thought for a moment, then turned back to them,
"Maybe if this baby is born sooner then-" I broke off, feeling a weird sensation in my stomach, "Oh no…not now god please" I mumbled. Both of them looked at me and their faces went white,
"NO! WE NEED A DOCTOR IN HERE!" she screamed out the door. Eggman was the first to answer, but we assured him we didn't need that type of doctor. I sat down on couch and panted. Soon some of the medics came and laid me down on the couch. I closed my eyes and hoped this would be over soon.
A few hours later the baby finally decided to come out. It was shocking what crawled out of me. It looked almost identical to Black Neo Sonic, except it was about a tenth of the size. I looked at the baby and it looked back, a big grin on it's face. I smiled and held it close to me. I looked at me again,
"Feed me" were the first words that came out of its mouth. I smiled and fed it. When I was done, I got up and went out in the hallway, everyone standing outside their doors watching me. Sonic came over and pat the baby on the head,
"Aww isn't it the cutest little thing" he said. The baby glared at him and bit his finger, causing Sonic to yelp in pain and curse. I glared at Sonic,
"Thanks a lot Sonic…now get out of here before I make sure YOU never have children." He gulped and ran off. Shadow came over and picked up the baby, holding it over his head,
"Who's the cute hedgehog…who's the cute hedgehog" he smirked. The baby giggled and tried to hold onto him. He held the baby close and rocked it. I giggled and hugged Shadow and the baby,
"Aww, he likes you" I smiled at me. He grinned and kissed my forehead. I took the baby back from him, bundling him up and went outside. I watched the sun rise, realizing something, "What? Why's the sun rising? It's 2 am!" James peeked out from the building,
"Uh, that's not the sun" he said. Suddenly there was a large ball of light in front of me. I shielded my eyes as the light faded, revealing a golden tiger. He wore gloves of fire and his feet were covered in darkness and his eyes were bloodshot. I gulped and held the baby towards him. I felt him pick up the baby,
"Aww isn't he cute…looks like just my baby back home" it said, I then realized it was a woman. I stepped towards her, "Aww can I watch him for a while? I promise I'll take real good care of him" she said. I turned to see James standing there in awe, his eye twitching,
"NOVA'S A WOMAN?!" I heard him say. I swear I could hear two voices coming from his mouth. Oh well. I turned back to Nova,
"Please?" she asked, holding the baby in a cute pose. I chuckled and nodded,
"Promise you'll bring him back?" I asked teasingly. She nodded and flew off into space with my little Chaz. "They grow up so fast" I said, my eyes tearing over. James came up beside me and looked up,
"Who would have thought the Universe's biggest threat was an angry mom…" he said in amazement. I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, wrapping my arms around his neck. He looked down at me, "What day is it today?" he asked me. I giggled and laid my head on his chest,
"Christmas" I replied, moving closer to him. He looked down at me,
"And what would you like for a present? Or should I ask?" he joked. I giggled and kissed him,
"A night alone with just you and me" I teased, sticking my tongue out at me.
"I had a feeling you'd say that" he chuckled. I grinned and nuzzled him,
"So how about it?" I asked him. He nodded,
"Alright, but first" he ran into the lobby and pulled something out of his pocket, waiting by the hallway. I walked in and looked at what he was doing. When Sonic and Amy came walking down the hall, he put mistletoe over their heads, "It's Christmas" he smirked. Amy immediately pounced on Sonic, kissing him all over the place while James fell over laughing. I knelt down beside James and leaned over him,
"Well hello down there" I grinned. He grabbed me and pulled me down, kissing me quickly. I giggled and helped him back up, "Now, where were we?" I asked him. He grabbed me by the arm,
"Now I remember…" he teased, taking me down the hall to his room. Rouge stood out in the hall watching us,
"Not coming in my room if I'm not invited" she teased. I smirked and walked into James' room, closing the door behind us.
James' POV
I tired Jenn out after an hour or two and left her on my bed, locking the door so no one got any ideas. I walked down the hall and sat outside on the sidewalk. I watched the open sky and thought for awhile. I thought of what Disfigment had said. In a few days, I was going to forget everything. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Ya I cried a bit so what? I wiped my tears and got up. I decided I should make these last few days enjoyable. I walked back into the base and felt a tap on my shoulder as I entered. I looked up and saw Amy. She pointed up. There hung some mistletoe. I looked back at her and she blushed faintly. I pulled her over and kissed her hard and quick. I walked on, turning back with a smirk on my face. I saw the look of surprise in her face as she blushed a deep pink. I looked ahead and shifted my eyes. I saw Sonic with his jaw hanging open as I turned down the hall. Nice try buddy, I thought to myself. I headed to Rouge's room. I walked in and looked around. I heard the door shut behind me. I turned and felt Rouge tackle me. She pinned me to the bed and kissed me hard.
I felt like I was turning into a bit of a player after an hour with Rouge, which was interrupted when Amy asked to join. Rouge decided yes and soon I had them both covered.
After they both fell to sleep, I tucked them in under the blankets. They had fallen asleep with their hands between one another's legs, so I left them be. I headed out into the hall and went down to the café. I grabbed some eggnog; I saw Eggman had convinced the secretary to come down for once. Someone had hung mistletoe over them and they gladly agreed. I sat down at an empty table. There were only two seats to it, so I expected to remain alone. I sat there and thought about everything that had happened to me in that life. I shrugged and decided to do some math. I was with the doctor 4 years of my life, I was searching for him for 3 and I had been here for almost a year. I had been awake for almost eight years and when I said I was with the doctor I meant I was under his guardianship, not dating him all you sick butts out there. I guessed I was probably out two years and decided that it was about every ten years I'd lose my memory. I stretched and got the feeling I was right about my math. Every ten years I forget things, sounded reasonable. I shut my eyes and day dreamed. I dreamt of repeating some the things I had done. The main thing I wished I'd get to try was Rouge, Jenn, Amy and I, just to get a reaction out of everyone else.
I was snapped out of my day dream when someone sat down across from me. I looked over and saw it was a black cat. He was wearing a green muscle shirt and baggy blue pants. He had red eyes and wore red shoes. He was sipping a glass of eggnog as well. I raised my glass to him when eh looked over and he raised his.
"I'm James" I introduced myself. He nodded sipping his drink
"Strike" he replied.
"You a new soldier?" I asked him. I had never seen him around before. He shook his head.
"No, I'm here looking for someone" he chuckled "Would you happen to know anyone by the name of Symbiote Blue?" he asked me. I shook my head.
"That's a weird name" I said to him.
"Well, he's a science experiment, I was sent to pick him up" he explained, turning to get up. I thought for a second.
"Wait," I hesitated "Does he go by the code SC?" I asked him. He looked at me
"Well, we wanted to call him SB for Symbiote Blue, but we already had something else named that" he told me. I bit my lip. I looked at him and he leaned back sitting back down. "So you figured out what you are then?" he asked. I guess he figured it out. It wasn't hard to tell. I was blue and I doubt anyone else knew about it. I explained to him how I had figured it all out, him filling in a few blanks. "You're lucky I showed up then" he said smirking "I came with a late Christmas gift from the doctor" he said. He handed me a small box. I opened it and it revealed about a dozen small patches.
"What are these?" I asked.
"Those will keep you from losing your memory" He explained "Once you put it on, wait a year, then replace it" he told me "They will also keep you from changing shape" he told me. I quickly took one of the patches and slapped it on the side of my waste. He nodded at me. I thanked him and he nodded at me. He got up and headed out, but not before grabbing himself a gal for the road. I put the box in my glove pocket. I sipped my eggnog and decided that I was about to live one great life. I had friends, a good job and three lovely ladies who were throwing themselves at me. Yes, this would be a great life indeed.
Jenn's POV
I slowly opened my eyes and noticed James was no longer beside me. I looked around and decided to go get something to eat. I got up, pulling my dress over my head and headed out the door. On my way there I thought of what I was going to say to him. I walked in and sat down beside him, "H…Hi James" I said to him, blushing deeply. He looked over to me, raising his eggnog,
"Hey Jenn" he replied. I looked down a little, then looked back up at him,
"James…I really need to talk to you about something" I said to him, playing with my dress. He looked at me, putting his glass down,
"Oh?" he said. I looked back at me,
"You remember when I told you I love you…?" he nodded at me
"Yes…" I blushed a bit more
"I meant to say I'm IN love with you…" I winced, turning away. All I heard was,
"Oh…that's…ah…" I heard him take a deep breath. I looked back at him,
"I knew you wouldn't feel the same way…oh well it doesn't matter anyways…" I said sadly. He stared at his drink, muttering something under his breath. I looked at him, "What did you say?" I asked him. He scratched his forehead,
"I don't know what to tell ya…" he admitted. I looked down at the table and sighed, tracing drawings in the dust with my finger. I leaned over and snatched his eggnog, taking a sip. He glared at me and snatched it back, "My eggnog" he took another sip, holding it with both hands. I got up and walked towards the door. When I looked up I saw him standing in the doorway, "Your not planning on leaving with a droopy face like that on ya, are ya?" he grinned. I looked away from him. He sighed, "Don't be an emo…I never said I wasn't in love with you…I just never said I was…" I looked up at him hopefully. "I haven't really decided yet" he finished. I bit my lip and looked down again. I looked back up at him and stepped towards him. He watched me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and blushed a deep red,
"So…when are you going to decide?" I asked him. He shrugged,
"I dunno…" he replied, smirking. I huffed and kissed his nose,
"Alright then, I'll stay right here 'til you decide" I said, cuddling close to him. He chuckled,
"You'll be here a while..." I smiled at him,
"I waited this long for you to actually LOOK my direction, I think I can wait a little longer" I replied. He chuckled again. I stuck my tongue out at him, "I'm serious…" I said, kissing his lips softly.
"I know" was his reply. I huffed and laid my head on his shoulder,
"So how long will it take you to decide?" I asked him, trying not to seem annoying. He thought for a moment,
"I dunno…probably not before New Year's" he said. I sniffled,
"But that's at least a week" I said. He shrugged,
"Technically it's 6 days so its not yet a week" he joked. I shook my head at him,
"You're silly…now come on; we need to prepare for the Christmas concert tonight!" I said, taking his hand and leading him to the auditorium. 'Okay' was his reply.
We finally managed to practice the song we were going to sing and we all finally managed to memorize it, although Knuckles had a hard time because he was so distracted with Shadow with the reindeer antlers. I had put up all the decorations afterwards and thought it looked really good.
When everyone was seated I came out, wearing a Mrs. Clause outfit that Rouge suggested we wear. That gained me a couple of whistles. I grumbled and then smiled, "Hello everyone and welcome to the first GUN Christmas Concert" I began, "For our first musical we have Knuckles singing 'It Wasn't Me.'" Everyone clapped at that. I stepped off the stage and Knuckles took my place,
"Shadow came in and he caught me red-handed creeping with Mephiles from next door, picture this we were both butt-naked, banging on the bathroom floor-" he was soon cut off by booing and he ran off, having things thrown at him. I giggled and announced the next act which was juggling and skits and stuff. It was finally time for our finally. I came out with everyone else and we all started to sing,
"The first thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me is finding a Christmas tree. The second thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me…"
"Rigging up the lights!" Eggman sang. We then continued together,
"And finding a Christmas tree" we sang together. "The third thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me…"
"Hangovers" Knuckles sang.
"Rigging up the lights!" Eggman said in turn.
"And finding a Christmas tree" we sang together. "The fourth thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me…"

"Oh jeez"
"I'M TRYING TO RIG UP THESE LIGHTS!"
"And finding a Christmas tree…the eighth thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me…"

"FIVE MONTHS OF BILLS"

"Uh, get me a beer huh?"

"Yo-ho, sending Christmas cards"
"Oh jeez, look at this"

"And finding a Christmas tree… the eleventh thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me…"
"Stale TV specials" sang Doom
"Batteries not included"
"No parking spaces"
"WHAT IF I GOTTA GO TO THE BATHROOM??"
"Charities"
"She's a witch I hate her"
"FIVE MONTHS OF BILLS!!"
"Oh, I don't even know half these people"
"Oh, who has the toilet paper?"
"Turn the flash light on I blew a fuse"

"Singing Christmas carols" sang Doom and the Commander together
"Stale TV specials"

"NO PARKING?!"
"WAHHHH!!!"
"Charities"
"Got to make them dinner"
"FIVE MONTHS OF BILLS!!"
"That's it; I'm not sending them this year"
"Shut up you"
"FINE! YOU'RE SO SMART, YOU RIG UP THE LIGHTS!!!" James boomed at Knuckles cutting off Eggman.
"And finding a Christmas tree" we sang, ending the song. Everyone clapped and gave up a standing ovation. I went backstage and pulled James aside,
"You did really good out there…" I smiled at him. He nodded,
"Thanks, but flattery isn't going to make me decide faster…" he chuckled. I shrugged and kissed him softly,
"I tried" I replied. He kissed me back and went off to see Rouge. I looked around and saw Mephiles coming towards me, arguing with the Commander,
"BUY ME SOMETHING!" I heard him say. The commander glared at him,
"GET A JOB YA BUM!" he boomed, suddenly the two of them burst out laughing. I giggled and walked over to them,
"Hey cutie" I said, talking to Mephiles, "Where's my present?" I asked him sweetly.
"It's uh, it's in my room…" he said politely. I smiled and took his head, heading back to his room. He led me in and I sat down on his bed. His room looked a lot smaller then everyone else's. The wall opposite of the door looked oddly colored, different from the rest of the room. I blinked, staring at it, noticing no closet and his bed was a mattress on the floor. There was no way he was hiding it in here. I looked over at him,
"Where's the present?" I asked him again. He pointed at the oddly colored wall,
"Right there…" he said. I got up and looked at the wall. He came over and dragged his finger down the wall. I saw a giant white box underneath. I blinked and stepped forward.
"Umm…how do I open it?" I blushed. He ripped off the wrapping paper, revealing a white door on the wall. I opened the door and looked inside. It was a room filled with over-sized plushies. My eyes sparkled and I jumped into the plushies. He peeked in,
"Do you like it? It's not much…it's all I could afford…" he said nervously. I giggled and pulled him over,
"I love it" I smiled, hugging him tightly. He almost literally melted in my arms,
"Y…You're hugging me…" he said, sounding like he just won a million dollars. I nuzzled him and held him closely, purring softly. He rested his head on my shoulder, I could feel him shivering. I rubbed his back and held him close to me.
After a few hours, Mephiles fell asleep, so I decided to leave him there and went into the hallway and we did not do it during those hours, you sick and twisted perverts out there. I went to the cafe that had barely anybody in it and sat down with a cup of hot chocolate, hoping someone would come by. I heard footsteps and I turned around, noticing Shadow coming towards me. He sat down beside me and put a box in front of me,
"Here…I got this for you…I would have given it to Knuckles, but I still haven't forgiven him yet…" he said, a kind of mad look on his face. I picked up the box and opened it, a gold chain with a heart on it. I smiled and put it on,
"Thank you Shadow, it's very nice" I kissed his cheek, hugging him softly. He wrapped his arms around me and patted me on the back,
"No problem…you deserve it more then Knuckles did anyways" he said. I giggled and pushed him playfully,
"That's nice of you…want some hot chocolate?" I asked, offering my cup. He shook his head and stood up,
"I have to take care of some business…Merry Christmas, cutie" he said, pecking me on the cheek and leaving. I sighed happily and stared at the window at the snow falling. I decided to go outside and play in the snow since, you know, it's Christmas after all. I finished my hot chocolate and got up, heading to my room to get warm clothes on. I then proceeded outside, looking up at the sky, wondering if my son was having fun. I looked over at a random street lamp and saw someone standing under it. I walked over and saw a black cat standing there, leaning against the post and talking to some girl with a cigarette in her hand, un-lady like much? I walked to them and tapped the black cat on the shoulder,
"Hi, umm…do I know you from somewhere?" I asked him. He turned and looked at me,
"Um…" he looked me over, "I don't think so…what's your name?" he asked me. I smiled and ended a gloved hand,
"Jenn, Jenn the Hedgehog" I replied. He stretched, yawning,
"Strike the Cat" he simply said. I turned to the girl and tilted my head to the side. She was blonde, typical. She had blue eyes and was wearing a black gown with a jean vest overtop. She took a puff of her cigarette,
"What're you staring at?" she said, an icy tone to her voice. I shrugged and turned to leave,
"Nice to have met you Strike the Cat, hope to see you sometime…" I walked off. I heard him calling at me as I crossed the street,
"Call me Strike and if you play your cards right you might" he said. I giggled and went over to a snow covered bench and sat down, watching the snow fall. I picked up some snow and made it into a ball, throwing it over my shoulder at the base. I heard glass shattering and gulped, ducking under the bench. I peeked out and saw a broken window, wondering whose room that was. I saw Shadow peek his head out,
"Ok you hooligans, quit trying to spy on us!!!" he yelled, looking through his window. I think he saw me lying under the bench because I saw him climb out the window and come towards me. I looked up at him,
"Had to go take care of some business, eh?" I giggled, sticking my tongue out at him. He blushed terribly, looking away,
"I already finished my business so I decided to see if Knuckles needed any company…" he said. I heard Knuckles shout,
"Shadow! Come back to bed!" I giggled and winked at Shadow, causing his face to turn redder and he dashed off, closing the blinds behind him. I giggled and sat back down, watching Strike from the bench. I heard footsteps behind me and saw a red bird with a black vest, a sword on his back and a yellow Mohawk who was trying to sneak behind me,
"Who are you and what do you want?" I asked him. He grinned evilly and pulled out his sword,
"I am Noel the Hawk, bounty hunter extraordinaire and I'm you're worse nightmare" he said, raising the sword over his head.
