Here's chapter 11!
At Tails' Workshop…
"I… know who you are?" asked a confused ebony hedgehog.
"Yes, you've not to fear, Shadow"
"Your voice… I know I have heard it before"
"Really? Maybe you can still remember me… Shadow the hedgehog" and the voice faded away.
"…" Shadow said nothing and sat on the sofa, thinking.
SLAM!
"Sonic? Rouge? You there?" said the person (or animal, it sounds weird, doesn't it?) that had entered.
"Oh, hi Shads" said Amy when she saw Shadow.
"Rose" answered Shadow politely.
"What are you doing here all alone? And where are the others?" asked Amy. "Faker went out a few minutes ago, and I don't know where the others could be"
"Oh, well…" said Amy disappointed. "Is everything all right, Rose?" asked Shadow, concerned about Amy. "I just wanted to ask Rouge if she could come to the mall with me… Guess I'm not going" said Amy.
"What are you waiting for, Shadow? Tell her you'll go with her!" said the sweet voice into Shadow's mind. "What? Why would I, the Ultimate Life Form, want to go with a girl to the mall? Besides, girls always go to clothes and shoes stores, and it's quite boring" answered Shadow to the voice.
"What are you talking about, Shadow? I remember when you used to take me to a meadow on the earth without excuses" said the voice.
"A meadow on the earth?..."
"Maria?" said Shadow aloud.
"What?" said Amy. "Uhhh… Nothing" said Shadow. "No, you said something, Shadow. Now, tell me"
"Really, I said nothing"
"Tell me"
"…"
"Tell me"
"Tell her that you'll go with her!"
"I'll go with you to the mall" said Shadow.
"REALLY? THANK YOU SO MUCH, SHADOW!" squeaked Amy.
"Why the hell did I said that?"
"Because you didn't wanted her to be disappointed. I'm proud of you, Shadow. Finally managed to ask a girl out"
"IT ISN'T A DATE!" shouted Shadow. "Huh?" Amy was confused.
"Oh, nothing" said Shadow, a little embarrassed. "Okay, then. Let's go!" said Amy.
And Pink and Black exited Tails' workshop.
Four hours later, at the Station Square S.S….
"Whew! I'm tired!" exclaimed a pink hedgehog. "Shadow! Let's sit over there!" said Amy while running to a bench. "Hey! Wait for me, Rose!" said Shadow.
"Are you tired, too?" asked Amy to Shadow. "Certainly" answered him. "Then, let's eat some ice cream! My treat" said Amy while pointing to an ice cream cart. "Okay" "What flavor would you like, Shadow?" asked Amy. " Mmmmm… why don't you choose for me?" "Okay!" said Amy while running to the ice cream cart.
Shadow was surprised. He enjoyed every moment with Amy, even when she wanted to go to a purse store or a jewelry store. He even found out that she enjoyed reading, just like him. They went to a library and Amy bought some books, for her and Shadow to read. "It wasn't that bad, though" said Shadow to himself.
"Here!" said Amy handing Shadow his Ice cream. "Thank you, Rose" said Shadow.
"Wow. Rose really has changed over the years" thought Shadow.
"Shadow?" asked Amy. "Yes?"
"Why did you offer to come with me?" said Amy. "Because I didn't want you to look disappointed" said Shadow without thinking.
When he realized what he said he blushed.
"Really? That's sooooo sweet!" said Amy. AND gave him a kiss in the cheek.
"Uhhhhh…" Shadow blushed madly. Fortunately, Amy didn't see it.
"That felt good" thought Shadow.
"Come on, Shadow. Let's go back to Tails' and see if he's back, too" said Amy while standing up.
"Uhhh… Sure, Rose" said Shadow. And they both walked away.
Station Square S.S., in front of that same bench…
Sonic sat there. Stunned, confused, everything you could call the expression of his face. "Ugh…" was all what he said.
"How could she…?" thought Sonic.
"Didn't I told you? Do you realize what could this mean?"
"…"
"That maybe she… You know… found someone that really loved her and-"
"BUT I LOVE HER!" screamed Sonic. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy. He realized what he said, stood up and zoomed away. "Mama?" said a little mouse to his mother "Yes, honey?" she answered.
"Isn't that Sonic the hedgehog?" said the little mouse.
"Yes, honey. He is" said the mother and resumed eating.
"Poor mister Sonic. He seems troubled" said the little mouse and resumed eating, too.
Somewhere…
"I'm going crazy with all of this" said Sonic while running as fast as he could.
"Sonic, you won't get it of your mind just by running, you know?"
"Yes, I know"
"… Look, I'm not supposed to be doing this, but you know how could you get her back?"
Sonic stopped running.
"How?"
"… Oh man. The C.A. is going to murder me (Conscience Association) but… maybe you could start talking to her, or taking her out like you did today, making little things that you know she would like"
"Michael. You're a genius"
"No, I'm in trouble because of you, Speedy. So do what I told you, or I'll never, EVER let you sleep again. Understood?"
"Understood"
Sonic started running, in search of the one that could really help him… Of course, if she wasn't mad because of what happened early.
At the Chaotix's…
"Now, seriously, Espio, do you like that girl?" asked Vector to Espio. Espio didn't say anything. "Come on, Espio!" said Charmy "At least do something, besides sitting there!" Espio just sat on the sofa, with his eyes closed.
Charmy made puppy dog eyes "Espiooooooo…" he said like he was a little boy. Espio opened his eyes, glared at Charmy and closed them again. "Hmph! No one refuses my puppy dog eyes!" "I…" started to say Espio. "You wh-" tried to say Charmy, but Vector stopped him "Let him talk" Vector whispered.
"I… maybe do like her" confessed Espio. Charmy and Vector looked at each other, and then at him "…Really?" asked Vector "I'm not talking anymore about this" said Espio.
"Mmmmmm…. You know, Espio… my boy," started Vector "Maybe Charmy and I can help you with her" Espio opened his eyes "If you dare, I'll murder you" "Why?" "Don't you remember what happened last time you wanted to help that swallow?"
FLASHBACK
"But what should I say?" said a nervous swallow. "Just say…" said Vector "You're the pepperoni in my pizza or… You're Hip Hop in my music!" said Vector "What about 'the rose in my garden'?" suggested Charmy. "Nay, nay… That wouldn't work. That's too old!" "So that's what I've got to say?" asked the swallow "Yeah, man. And relax, I'm sure she loves you as well" And the swallow left.
5 minutes later…
"How would it go?" asked Vector. "She said that if I get close to her, she'll make me eat my shoes with pepperoni and a hip hop music disc" said the swallow and walked away "…Okay?"
END OF FLASHBACK
"Oh, yeah… But it wasn't my fault!" said Charmy. "Nor was mine, and come on, Espio! We can help you! FOR FREE!" said Vector.
Espio stood up and walked to the door "Don't dare following me" and exited the house.
He thought about what he said earlier.
"I… do like her? But I've met her for just one day!" Thought him. "And it's already night… Maybe I'l sleep in a tree"
He climbed on a tree, closed his eyes. Without thinking he would have dreams about a certain someone and him.
Sorry for this chapter… I did not my best! But I did something…right? Oh well, I haven't so much time to write these days. But I promise I'll write when I have time, okay? So stay tuned! And see you soon!
