CHAPTER TEN: Jewelry and a Date for M-chan
I'M BAAAAACK!!! HOPE YOU LIKE THIS ONE JUST AS MUCH AS THE OTHERS!!
BTW: YATTA: I did it;I got it.
"Maria, look at this lipstick. Isn't it gorgeous?" Rouge asked, handing Maria the case.
Maria opened it.
"Its beautiful! It looks like a pink rose!" She said.
"I thought you'd like it. Its the perfect color for you. Now, for the eye-shadow..." Rouge said, walking over to the nearby counter.
"AHA! Found it already!" Rouge said, picking up a brown eye-shadow. (A/N: Think 'SA2')
"What about foundation?" Maria asked.
"Your skin's flawless, so you don't need it." Rouge said, picking up a mixed eye-shadow case.
"I SEE JEWELRY!" Rouge said excitedly, running off.
"Rouge..." Maria said.
"Maria-san!" Cream said, she and Amy coming over to Maria.
"You've gotta see these earrings!" Amy said.
"Okay." Maria said.
The girls walked over and Maria saw a pair of pink and blue butterfly earrings.
"These are so pretty!" Maria said.
"Aren't they? I found pink and blue heart earrings to match the necklace...(sigh) that Sonic gave me." Amy said, a dreamy tone in her voice as she finished her sentence.
Maria giggled.
"Uh, guys..." Rouge said, quietly.
"What is it, Rouge-san?" Cream asked.
"I found the weirdest combination of colors on rings and necklaces over here. Come on, you should see 'em." Rouge said.
The girls walked across the store.
"Whoa!!" Amy said, loudly.
"A pink and blue ring with 'A' on the pink and 'S' on the blue." Cream said.
"Here's a dark purple and red ring with 'R' on the purple and 'K' on the red?" Cream said, confused.
"This is the most ironic one." Rouge said, picking up one of the rings.
It was black with a red slash and yellow with a light blue swirl.
It had 'S' on the black/red and 'M' on the yellow/blue.
"That's...a little weird..." Amy said.
"Here's a necklace just like it." Rouge said.
"I'm getting this one!" Amy said, picking up the pink and blue ring.
"I can't pass up this one." Rouge said, picking up the purple and red ring.
Cream hovered over them to get a better look.
"I like this one." Cream said, picking up a ring and landing.
It was a golden brown with 'T' on it and yellow with 'C' on it.
Maria picked up the black/red and yellow/blue necklace and studied it.
"It must be fate." Amy said.
"Maybe so..." Maria said, quietly.
"Hey, look at this." Rouge said.
Rouge walked over to a sign near the rings and necklaces.
"If the colors on these rings described you and the one you love, and both you're initials are on your respected colors: you and the one you love will be together forever." Rouge read.
"Really?!!" Amy asked, excitedly.
"Amy..." Maria said, with a smile.
"Well, that settles it. I'm getting this one." Rouge said.
"I didn't know you liked Knuckles-san that much, Rouge-san." Cream said.
"Heh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when I tell him the story behind this!" Rouge said, with a grin.
The girls laughed.
Maria looked at the necklace in her hand.
'I wonder if its true...' She thought.
Rouge saw the look on Maria's face.
"It screams 'Shadow and Maria', doesn't it?" Rouge asked.
Maria nodded.
A FEW MINUTES LATER:
The girls got the rings, except Maria, she decided on the necklace.
"Make-up, clothes, jewelry, girl supplies, PJ's, shoes...WE FORGOT SHOES!" Amy said.
"Where to?" Maria asked, slightly annoyed.
"That way!" Amy and Rouge said, pointing in opposite directions.
"The better shoe stores are to the left." Rouge said.
"Not from this side of the store. They're to the right from here." Amy said.
"This could take awhile..." Cream said quietly, while Amy and Rouge continued to argue.
MEANWHILE:
"YATTA!!! I FOUND IT!!!! I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!" M-chan yelled.
She'd been looking for her 'wishing dust'. Its made from M-chan's fallen lashes and chao magic.
It'll grant almost any wish.
"Now that Maria's alive, I can use this. Shadow and Maria can't really dance together at this point. But with this... that's all different. Now...where'd those CDs get to..." M-chan said, looking around.
"NOT AGAIN!! I JUST HAD 'EM, TOO!!" M-chan yelled.
MEANWHILE:
"Maria! We found the heels!" Amy said, coming over to Maria.
"Great, me too." Maria said, holding up pink high-heeled shoes.
Amy found blue.
"Get both." Rouge said.
"Good idea." Amy said.
"I wonder what M-chan has planed for tonight." Cream said.
"Me, too. You know how she gets sometimes." Rouge said.
"Yeah, when she gets hyper about something, she can go overboard." Amy said, with a laugh.
"No kidding." Rouge said.
"Hey, M-chan doesn't have a date." Cream said.
"Oh, that's right. Its an odd number. They didn't say anything about Vector and the others. I guess they can't make it"
Amy said.
"Yeah. It doesn't seem fair, does it? M-chan did all this and she'll probably just be DJ-ing the whole time." Rouge said.
"Who could we invite?" Cream asked.
Amy giggled.
"She'd kill us, but...(giggle) what about 'Bird Brain'? M-chan calls him that." Amy said.
Rouge thought for a second, trying to think of who Amy could mean.
"OH, NO! NOT JET!! M-CHAN'D KILL US, IF SHE DIDN'T KILL HIM FIRST, THAT IS!" Rouge said, loudly.
"That bad, huh?" Maria asked.
"Worse..." Rouge said.
"Okay, that idea's out." Amy said, trying not to laugh.
The girls thought for a minute or so.
Amy gasped.
"I know!! M-chan'll be thrilled to see him! Let's just hope this number still works." Amy said, getting out her cell.
"Who?" Rouge asked.
Amy giggled, dialing a number.
"You'll see..." She said.
MEANWHILE...
"Where's M-chan?!" Sonic asked loudly, from upstairs.
"She's probably still at home. What's up?" Tails said.
"I just realized why she went back home! She's gonna bring 'THEM', I just know it!" Sonic said, leaning over the banister.
" 'Them'?" Tails asked, confused.
"Her 'Anime Mix' CDs. She'll bring them back for sure..." Sonic said, sadly.
"What's wrong with that?" Knuckles asked.
"Those CDs never have any descent songs on 'em." Sonic said.
"Oh, REALLY?!" M-chan said, loudly.
"M-Chan! Y-You heard that?" Sonic asked, nervously.
"You DARE call say 'Anime Mix' CDs don't have any desent songs on them!!!" M-chan yelled, putting Sonic in a head lock.
"I didn't mean it, M-chan!" Sonic said, struggling to get away.
"You better not have!! What about 'High School Never Ends'?!, 'Sadie Hawkins Dance', and 'Every Other Time'?!!! What's so wrong with those HUH?!!" M-chan yelled.
"I forgot about those!! LEMME GO, M-chan! I'm sorry, okay?!" Sonic said, still struggling.
"You're really sorry?!" M-chan asked.
"Yes!" Sonic said.
"Okay." M-chan said, dropping Sonic.
He fell to the ground.
"You...are...cruel, M-chan!" Sonic said, gasping for air.
M-chan grinned at him.
"That's what you get for bashing my 'Anime Mix'!" She said.
"What are 'Anime Mix' CDs?" Shadow asked.
"So glad you asked, Shadow-kun!" M-chan said, happily.
'Again with the' Shadow-kun...' Shadow thought.
"Its CDs that she puts together. Its 'theme songs' for the couples she's shipping." Knuckles said.
"Yeah, bad theme songs..." Sonic said, quietly.
M-chan growled at him.
Sonic backed away, nervously.
"Well, I think I've got some good ones. For example: Knuckles and Rouge would be...'Every Other Time" and the other was.
I think its called 'Just the Girl' or 'Just the Girl I'm Lookin' for'. Good choice, right, Knuckles?" M-chan said.
Knuckles blushed.
"Yeah-I mean NO!!" Knuckles said, turning a darker red.
MEANWHILE...
Rouge and the other girls were driving home.
"Do you think the guy you invited can make it?" Maria asked.
"I think so. M-chan'll be thrilled to see him!" Amy said.
"I hope she brought her "Anime Mix' CDs with her." Cream said.
"Me too. I wanna dance with Sonic to 'Follow me' and 'If I let you go'!!" Amy said, excitedly.
The girls laughed.
"What about you, Maria? M-chan's probably long gotten a song for you and Shadow. What songs do you think describe you and Shadow?" Amy said.
Maria thought for a minute of so.
"I never found one. I didn't get to listen to music much back on Ark." Maria said.
"Well, lets find one now." Rouge said, turning on the radio.
Country music played.
The girls laughed.
"No way." Maria said.
Rouge changed stations.
'If I open up my heart to you' played.
Rouge started to change stations.
"WAIT!" Maria said.
Maria listened a little longer, then smiled.
"That's the one." She said.
"Great! But, what about Shadow's?" Amy said.
"Only Shadow could answer that." Maria said.
She smiled.
The other girls smiled, knowing who Maria was thinking about.
'Shadow...' Maria thought.
MEANWHILE...
'Maria... Will you be open enuff about our relationship...to dance with me tonight?' Shadow thought.
"Sonic and I are gonna go get the pizza!" M-chan said loudly, from the door.
"Hurry up, M-chan! You're so slow..." Sonic said.
"You did NOT just call me SLOW!!" M-chan said, chasing Sonic.
