Chili with Aroma of a Hedgehog
Chapter 10: A New Direction
Woah I got so many overwhelming reviews against Sally and Shadow xD
They aren't the only villains in the story guys, there's more where that came from!
But one thing is for sure, AND REMEMBER THIS, ALL CHARACTERS WHO HAVE COMMITTED OR WILL COMMIT SOMETHING EVIL WILL BE PUNISHED! Karma is a true ***** in this Fanfiction and you'll see why. But first, you're going to have to hang in there and witness all the evil unravel because Sally forcing Tails to do what he did is MINOR compared to what she'll do in the future. Shadow is a MONSTER compared to her though, what he will do in the future will truly be unforgivable and will have you at the edge of your seat, TRUST ME!
Prepare ladies and gentlemen, because this is going to be a rollercoaster.
Now someone asked me how long this will be and my answer is, very long. This might go up to 50 chapters at most. I don't know if that's discouraging or exciting since you'll be with me for such a long time. I'll try to finish this before the end of summer which for me is at the end of September xD
Tails felt disgusting.
Luckily Sally didn't make him do anything other than make out but that still didn't stop him from feeling filthy.
He had already taken three showers and brushed his teeth 10 times until his gums felt sore and the filth feeling still hadn't gone away.
He could never look Sonic in the eye again...
"Hey Tails!"
Just my luck...
Tails turned and faced Sonic, but looked down on the floor.
"Did you check on the chili pickers today?" Sonic asked.
"Yes, everything is in order," Tails said while still looking on the floor.
"Hey are you okay?"
"Yes, just fine."
"Then why aren't you looking at me?" Sonic asked as he got closer, causing Tails to back away.
"My eyes hurt and it helps if I look down," Tails lied.
Great, first I make out with his wife and now I'm lying to him. I deserve to be thrown in jail. But I'll do anything to keep my parents out of this.
"Well, okay, have you tried eye drops?"
"I was going to go buy some right now actually," Tails responded.
I have to get out of here!
"Alright then, don't take too long lil buddy," Sonic said as he ruffled Tails' fur and walked away. "I think I'll take a walk myself, just to get my mind off of Rosy for awhile."
They both nodded as they went their separate ways, oblivious to Sally who was watching Tails.
"That fox better keep his mouth shut."
Station Square
"Rosy... you think you'll be able to get me a TV to watch my show with that job of yours?" Angela asked as Amy got ready for work.
"Of course mom! You deserve the world!" Amy said as she hugged her mom and heard a knock on the door.
"Who could that be?" Amy asked as she opened the door, revealing a brown mink.
"Hello, my name a Josephine, I'm a neighbor. I came to get to know you!"
"Come in!" Angela said as Josephine walked in with a batch of cookies.
"Well you'll have to excuse me but I have work, I hope you two have fun chatting!" Amy said as she left.
"What a nice girl," Josephine said as she and Angela sat down on the small table. "When did you arrive?"
"A few days ago, Amy and I come from Green Hill Zone."
"Wow that's far! I used to live in South Island too until I found a job here at a rich man's house as a housekeeper. I then had my son and decided to stay so that he can get a proper education," she smiled as she drank a cup of coffee Angela served her.
"I'm glad you came," Angela said. "It gets a little lonely here when Amy goes off to work."
"I know exactly how you feel. My Bundlebee is constantly off on business trips with those very formal people, it gets very lonely."
"Does he visit you at least?"
"Sometimes... but it's only to ask for money..."
"Awww," Angela said as she gave Josephine a sad look. "He'll come around."
Josephine nodded as she looked at the time, "Oh no! My show is on right now!"
"Which show?"
"Distilling Love," said Josephine, followed by a gasp by Angela.
"YOU WATCH THAT SHOW TOO!?"
"Yes! Did you see the part where Tyson was sent to jail?"
"Yes!" Angela said as her smile faded. "That was actually the last episode I saw before one of the chili pickers wrecked our TV..."
"Well come watch it with me! I live right across the hall!"
"Really? What are we waiting for then!" Angela exclaimed as she and Josephine hurried toward Josephine's home.
"Hey Sticks!"
"Hey Amy! Well aren't you here early," Sticks giggled as she went behind the desk.
"Yeah, I'm just so excited to start!"
"Well we don't usually start getting calls until Rush Hour which is at noon. That's when people start checking out and in to the hotel."
"Good to know," Amy responded as Sticks pulled out a magazine.
"Well what do you know," Sticks said. "The hunk was chosen as Classiest Man in the Business Industry of the Year."
"Who?" Amy said as she got close the the magazine.
"Shadow the Hedgehog," said Sticks, causing Amy's smile to fade. "Isn't he hot? I swear those The Hedgehogs have been on point these past few years."
Amy frowned, remembering all the wonderful times she and Sonic had together.
Worst part is... I still love him...
"Would you date him Amy?" Sticks asked, knocking Amy away from her trance.
"Huh?"
"Would you date Shadow?"
"Oh," Amy said as she scrunched her nose in disgust. "No, I think his cousin Sonic is better looking."
Amy widened her eyes.
DID I REALLY JUST SAY THAT!?
"Sonic? I've never heard of him before, does he work in the Corporation?"
"Corporation?" Amy asked.
"Yeah, The Hedgehog Chili Industries. That's where they market their products and do all the business stuff that come with making Chili."
Amy nodded in amazement, in her life she had only been familiar with the picking and manufacturing of the Paprika The Hedgehogs made, she had never really thought about the selling and publicizing of it.
"No, he works in The Grounds. That's where The Hedgehogs hire chili pickers to pick chilis so that they can make the Paprika that makes it so special in the factory. He supervises it."
"Really? I didn't know that! How does he look?" Sticks asked as she closed the magazine.
Amy smiled as she thought of Sonic, "Well he looks similar to Shadow but his quills aren't as messy and his fur is a rich cobalt blue color and he has the most gorgeous emerald green eyes and..."
"Woah! Stop right there!" Sticks giggled. "You're starting to sound like if you two are a couple or something," Sticks said as she laughed, oblivious to Amy's sudden uneasiness.
"Sorry! Heh, I'm just a fangirl that's all," Amy lied, receiving a nod from Sticks.
"I feel ya, we all want something we can't have," Sticks said as she logged into the computer, receiving a sad nod from Amy.
The next five minutes were silent as Amy organized the contact book slowly.
Sticks' words were plastered onto her mind.
"We all want something we can't have..."
It was true, Sonic the Hedgehog was a dream that was never bound to come true.
Amy hated herself, why do I still love someone that has done so much wrong to me... what does he have that makes him so special.
Sometimes Amy wished Sonic was poor... maybe then she'd have a chance.
But she would never want that for him. Despite everything she didn't wish him any wrong.
I just hope his wife makes him happy, cherishes him and stays faithful to him...
Green Hill Zone
Sally added red lipstick on her lips, hoping to cover the soreness from her session with Tails.
Tails was very shy throughout the whole process, she almost pitied the fool.
Almost.
"He'll get there," Sally told herself.
The more Sonic remained platonic, the more Tails suffered the consequences.
Soon he'll be begging her to make out with him, and of course, that's the day she'll stop.
She didn't want the fox to get any ideas.
Either that or she'll set him up and have Sonic catch him trying to make out with her.
Either way she wins. The Grounds are boring, and she needed entertainment.
Station Square
Sticks and Amy were on Rush Hour and there was no time for either of them converse.
Calls after questions after calls, heck, picking chili peppers in the hot sun was easier than this.
"Miss?" Amy heard someone ask as she looked up at a green hedgehog who standing in front of her.
"Reservation for Scourge the Hedgehog?"
Amy nodded and looked into the computer, "Oh yes, your name is here, you're staying for a few weeks aren't you?"
"That's me," Scourge said as he winked, causing Amy to blush.
"Okay, you are Room 405, enjoy your stay here at Station Square Hotel!" Amy said as she gave him the key, which he took.
"With such a beautiful being as yourself as the receptionist, I'm sure I will," he said as he winked and headed toward the elevator.
"You see that Amy? He was totally flirting with you!" Sticks exclaimed, receiving a nervous laugh from Amy.
"Yeah..."
"Introducing Mr. Shadow the Hedgehog and his plus one, Maria Robotnik," announced an announcer as Shadow and Maria stepped into the cocktail.
"Shadow, it's good to see you!" Dr. Fink said, as he shook Shadow's hand.
"Hello Dr. Fink, this is Maria Robotnik, she's Gerald Robotnik's granddaughter."
Dr. Fink shook her hand, "You mean the Robotnik's Chili Dog Company owner?"
"Yes, that's him. He took me under his wing when my parents unfortunately suffered a car accident," she said as Dr. Fink nodded.
"Yes I heard about that. But welcome! I hope you enjoy yourselves!" Dr. Fink told them as he went to go greet other guests.
"Shadow! I'm glad you made it!"
Shadow turned, "Dr. Pickle! It's an honor to make your acquaintance."
"Shadow I would like to introduce you to my wife, Margaret Pickle," he said as Shadow and Maria shook hands with Margaret.
"Is this Rouge Bat the Hedgehog?" Dr. Pickle asked while motioning to Maria.
"Oh no, Rouge is expecting a baby so she chose to stay home and rest. This is Maria Robotnik, a close friend of mine and Rouge's."
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Maria, send Rouge our congratulations, we're going to go check out the cucumber sandwich stand. I hope to work with you in the future Shadow." Dr. Pickle said as he and Margaret retreated.
"Likewise!" Shadow responded as he looked at Maria, who seemed annoyed.
"What?"
"A FRIEND of you and Rouge's?"
"Baby, I can't tell them the truth. It wouldn't look right for both of us."
"Shadow! Over here!" a journalist called as Shadow turned. "Tell us how it feels to be chosen as Mobius' Classiest Man in the Business Industry of the Year?" he asked as he took a picture of him and Maria.
"It's truly an honor, I didn't think I'd receive such a title on my first year. I owe it all to my father Charles the Hedgehog, he taught me everything I know."
"I'm going to get a drink," Maria told Shadow as he nodded, not really paying attention to her and focusing on the press.
This is going to be a longgg night, Maria thought.
"What plans do you have for your career?"
"Big ones. I plan to open up another branch for The Hedgehog Chili Industries called Paprika Enterprise, there, I will export our Chili to many areas of Mobius faster, making our delivery system more efficient."
The press wrote notes in awe as Shadow explained his plan.
"How will you finance such a business and keep it up and running? It is my understanding that you are not allowed to take money from the Corporation for such things."
"I'm still trying to figure that out, I'm sure I'll come up with something though."
The press seemed satisfied, and Shadow spent the rest of the night buttering up the press, not noticing that Maria left 3 hours earlier than intended.
"I'm home mom!" Amy called, but received no response.
She walked toward the table and noticed that there were two cold coffees that were not finished and an uneaten batch of cookies.
"Mom?" Amy asked, suddenly getting worried.
She checked the restroom.
Nothing.
She checked the bedroom.
Nothing.
"Where is she!? Maybe Josephine knows where she went."
Amy then walked across the hall and knocked on the door, which was a little opened.
She opened it and sighed in relief as she noticed her mom and Josephine clinging onto each other while watching the television.
"WHY DID TYSON'S COUSIN HAVE TO DIE!?" Angela cried as she sniffed on her tissue.
"He deserved it didn't he?" Josephine cried as she sniffed.
"His cousin may have done a lot of wrong in the world but nobody deserves to die!" Angela responded.
"Mom?"
Angela turned, "Amy you're home!" she said as she wiped her eyes. "How was work?"
"Great! How's the show?"
"FIRST TYSON WAS SENT TO JAIL FOR TRYING TO PROTECT THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE SAVANAH AND NOW TYSON'S COUSIN KODA DIES! Oh Amy it's horrible!"
"Mind if I join?" Amy asked as Angela and Josephine made space for Amy.
"Wait what's happening now?" Amy asked.
"Savanah hates Tyson because he lied to her saying that he didn't love her so that she'd leave to another country and pursue her career. They were both going to be sent to jail for what Koda did, but Tyson took the blame so that they wouldn't do anything to Savanah."
"This stuff is such bogus, no man would ever do that for a woman."
"Never say never Amy, it could happen to anyone."
"Yeah, in storybooks," Amy said as she stared at the TV.
"Yes Rosy. I got married to Sally Acorn yesterday. What have YOU been up to?"
"All men are the same," Amy muttered. "All of them just want you for one thing and would never make the sacrifices you see on television shows..."
Green Hill Zone
Sonic clinged onto his walkman as if it was his only source of life.
He listened to it with such dedication, her voice sounded so beautiful.
He and Amadeus spent the entire day driving throughout all of South Island to see if Rosy was in any of the other zones, they did not have much luck.
At that moment he was sitting on the big tree where Maurice was buried and where Sonic and Amy made love.
He needed to be alone.
"I wish you were here Grandpa, you'd know what to do..."
Sonic sighed and clinged onto the walkman tighter.
He stood up and looked at the chili pepper plants.
- Flashback -
"The day I'll feel satisfied is the day you agree to marry me," Sonic responded as he looked toward the sunset.
"W-what?" Amy asked, her heart doing many flips.
"You heard me. I want to spend the rest of my days with you, do you not?"
"NO of course not Sonic I love you too and of course I'd marry you! But why the sudden proposal?"
"*sigh* I'm supposed to go back to England in two days, but I don't want to go! Yeah maybe I'll stay!"
"No Sonic you HAVE to go back, you just need one more year to finish your education."
"But..."
"No buts you're going, and when you come back, we'll get married how does that sound?"
- End Flashback -
"I should have NEVER went back..." Sonic said as he closed his eyes. "I had a feeling something bad was going to happen and I was right!"
He then stood on the place where he proposed to her, "Where are you Rosy... ROSYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" he yelled, letting his frustration out.
Tails sat in the corner of his bedroom, shivering and shaking.
Should I tell Sonic?
It'd be the right thing to do, but he could not bare to hear Sonic's disappointed reaction to the predicament.
"Tails, are you in here?" Cosmo asked as she slowly opened the door.
"Hey Cosmo!" Tails sat as he stood up quickly.
"Are you okay? You seem jumpy."
"Yep, I'm fine, just peachy..."
"Tails..." Cosmo said as she approached Tails. "If there's something wrong, do not hesitate in coming to talk to me. Remember that."
"I know... thanks Cosmo," he told her, putting on the fakest smile.
"Okay, I'll see you later Tails," she said as she left the room, and shut the door.
Tails collapsed on the floor and started crying.
"I'm trapped... I'm trapped..."
Station Square (The Next Morning)
Rouge sat on the bed and ate her breakfast while Shadow stood by the desk and fixed his paperwork.
"Shadow can you pass me the newspaper?" she asked as Shadow grabbed the newspaper and gave it to her.
Rouge opened it and looked at it while eating her breakfast, freezing when she looked at a particular picture.
There they were, Shadow the Hedgehog and Maria Robotnik, smiling at each other.
Rouge widened her eyes, "Shadow... where did you say you went last night?"
"To a cocktail," Shadow responded, still focused on his work.
"Did you have fun?" she asked with a slight menacing tone in her voice.
"Meh, it was alright."
Rouge then narrowed her eyes and threw her breakfast to the floor.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Shadow asked as he turned to her.
"Look at the paper! You came out VERY NICE in this photo!" she said as she stood up and motioned the paper toward him.
"What photo?"
"In this one, look," she said as she motioned the paper. "You never take me to your cocktails because I'm pregnant, but you can go off and take your mistresses CAN'T YOU?" she yelled as she threw the newspaper at him roughly.
Shadow picked up the newspaper and looked at it.
"Rouge... between Maria and I there's nothing..."
"SHE WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND! AND THAT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME SHE FOLLOWS YOU LIKE A LOST CHAO! AND YOU DON'T REJECT HER! JUST LIKE YOU DON'T REJECT ANY OF THE WOMAN THAT COME IN FRONT OF YOU!" she yelled as she began punching him in the chest. "DAMN YOU!"
"Rouge!" Shadow said as he grabbed her arms. "Calm, c-calm down!" he yelled as Rouge let go of him.
"HOW DO YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN IF YOU SPEND TIME AT YOUR COCKTAILS, AT THE BARS AND YOUR EVENTS SHOWING OFF YOUR SECRETARIES, YOUR MISTRESSES, EVERYONE! AND WHAT ABOUT ME!? I'M THAT POOR IMBECILE THAT STAYS HERE, P-PREPARING YOUR FOOD AND WAITING FOR YOU ALL THE TIME!" Rouge said as she threw many furniture onto the floor, glass shattering everywhere.
"Please calm down Rouge!" Shadow said as he tried to get near Rouge, only to be pushed away.
"SHUT UP! NO! THIS IS SOMETHING I SHOULD BE TELLING YOUR FAMILY!" she yelled as she threw pillows at Shadow. "I HATE YOU SHADOW, THIS IS THE WORST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE TO ME DAMN YOU!"
"Rouge calm down this isn't good for you!" Shadow yelled as Rouge slapped him in the arm and started hitting him again. "Rouge, please!" he said as she let him go.
"I'M TIRED OF YOU TREATING ME LIKE YOUR SLAVE! I know that you reject me, you ignore me... and of course, meanwhile you're going off and making out with anyone as if you were single. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU A CHILD ANYMORE YOU HEAR ME!" Rouge yelled as she punched her stomach, followed by Shadow holding her hands back. "I DON'T WANT TO DON'T WANT TO!"
"NO ROUGE DON'T DO THAT!"
"LET ME GO! LET ME GO! I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT WE'RE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION!" Rouge yelled as she ran away, followed by Shadow.
"I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW THE TYPE OF HEDGEHOG YOU ARE!" Rouge yelled as she ran out of the room.
"You're going crazy Rouge calm down!" Shadow said as he grabbed onto Rouge's hand.
"SHUT UP let me go! Go and stay with your secretaries and your mistresses!" she said as she stood at the top of the stairs and tried to release her hand from Shadow's.
"Calm down!" Shadow said as Rouge snatched her hand from his.
"NO I HATE YO... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Rouge yelled as she rolled off the stairs and landed on her stomach, losing consciousness.
"ROUGE!" Shadow yelled.
Ouch, what's going to happen to Rouge?
I'm going to post the link to the scene you just saw from the novela right here so you can get a visual of what happened just now.
It's in spanish, so just read along from here.

"Look, The Hedgehog Chili Industries is looking for a new secretary," Sticks said as Amy looked over towards the newspaper ad.
"Interesting..."
"Apply Amy! It's your chance to have money for school and escape from Scourge's clutches!"
Amy hummed... maybe she should apply...
