Silver's P.O.V.

I headed back home separately to everyone else, mostly because it took me longer to get home than everyone else. Same thing went for whenever I went to school. But I was never late. Always kept a tight schedule.

Today was a bit crappy without Blaze there. I only made up spastic colon because I had no clue what was wrong with her. I just hoped it was nothing serious. Me and her are dating, but not a lot of people know that about us. We like that air of mystery about us. Always left everyone else wondering.

I opened the door to her house. Most of the place had a silver or purple look to it, so I headed on upstairs to her bedroom to see how she was feeling. I didn't pay much attention to the house though, because I just wanted to make sure she was okay.

I headed through her bedroom door and greeted her with a smile. I noticed her bedroom wall colour and sheets were like most of the house. She had a closet for clothes in one wall, a nice window in another one which was behind her bed, and a mirror at the foot of her bed. There was also a bookshelf and a TV stand, with a TV on it. Because that's what TV stands do apparently.

She wore a purple nightgown, and lay back in her bed sleeping - well, before I walked in anyway. She rose her head from her pillows, and smiled back at me.

"Hey sweetie. How was school?" she asked, almost as if she was a mom and I was just a baby.

"It went pretty good. We have some new students, and also got a new ICT teacher. He's a bit of a klutz, but a nice klutz," I replied.

"That's good. Anything else happen?" she asked again.

"Well let's see... Tails and Cream got together, the girls beat the guys at basketball in P.E. today, and Amy and Sonic had an accident which lead to Sonic walking Amy home as a form of redemption I guess. He felt really bad about it for some reason," I noticed. It was true that there was a change in him. He never did much like that for Amy in the first place, or Sally for that matter despite them being together. But now, it looked like things were changing for him.

"I was wondering when those two would get together," Blaze said, interrupting me from my train of thought.

"I know. Tails and Cream are so cute together," I replied in a sarcastic girly voice.

"Not those two. Sonic and Amy," she said, which made me stand totally still for a moment.

"What? They're not together. He just walked her home because he felt bad," I said in a feeble attempt to defend myself.

"Okay then, call him," she told me, so I did. I pulled out my silver phone and flipped it open, dialing Sonic's number.

"Hey Silver, how's it going?" he asked me.

"Not bad. Where are you now?" I asked him back.

"I'm just five minutes away from my house. Why?" he replied. Wow, it took him longer to get home than I thought it would. Must have done more than just play doctor with Amy. Or maybe that's exactly what he did.

"Oh, just wondering how things with Amy went," I said. I heard him growl lowly in frustration before replying.

"Everything's fine. Sorry for the growl by the way. It's just, you're the fifth person to call me since I left Amy's house, and you've all been asking the same questions and it is really getting on my nerves," he said apologetically.

"Hey, it's cool man. Just wanted to make sure you two were okay. Did anything happen between you two? Why did you take so long to get back home?" I asked, and got another growl, but this one was louder.

"Yet again, things I've already been asked. Nothing happened. And it took so long because we watched TV and I had some food at her place. That's it. I'm going into my house now, but knowing my luck I'll get another phone call the moment I put my key in the door," he said with a sigh. It just made me laugh a bit, and soon enough he laughed it off too.

"Okay, I'll see you later dude," I said.

"Yeah sure, see you," he said before hanging up. Then I turned to Blaze and smirked, but to my surprise, saw her smirking back.

"What are you smirking at?" we both asked at the same time. I gave Blaze the floor to allow her to explain first.

"You know he's lying right? Sonic did more than just get some help from her," she said, then gestured to me, allowing me to speak.

"I believe him Blaze. I have noticed that things between him and Amy have improved, but that doesn't mean they did anything," I replied.

"You just don't want to admit that I might be right. You think because I'm sick that I don't know what I'm talking about?" she asked aggressively, but with a smile.

"That reminds me, what is wrong with you anyway? I got asked why you weren't at school, and all I could come up with was 'spastic colon'," I said, making her giggle.

"Well, I guess it was just some really bad stomach pain. But it does still hurt a bit so I doubt I can move around much. I will go back to school tomorrow though, so you won't have to spend it alone," she said with a smile.

"I actually managed today pretty okay. But I guess that was because of the new kid being there and Sonic and co were busy initiating him," I pointed out as I thought back to my initiation. It was at about their third year of school when me and Blaze started there. Sonic pulled a prank that made me look like I pissed myself. But because of how well I took it, he decided I was cool enough to hang out with him.

"They initiated him huh? What did they do to the poor kid?" she asked.

"It was during math class. Sonic had written a note making a mock rhyme about the joke that Nack always makes," I told her.

"Oh, the ath joke? God that's annoying," she said with a groan.

"Sure is. Anyway, Sonic got the new kid in trouble for the note, Nack got angry at new kid, new kid took it well, and now he's our friend," I took notice how many times I said new kid.

"Does this new kid have a name?" Blaze asked sarcastically.

"Yeah, his name's Jet. Cool dude actually. The other students are called Wave and Storm, but we didn't get to talk to them much," I told her.

"That's a shame. But at least you had fun. Anything else happen?" she asked.

"Yeah, Tails got a bit sick this morning after eating a bad apple. Scared us all a bit," I told her.

"Well, he does like his apples. So what else happened at P.E.?" she asked me.

"It was a bit weird. Shade and Knuckles were the last two on the court, and for a while they just stared and smiled at each other. Eventually Shade snapped out of it and slammed the ball home, but that didn't change the fact that something was there," I told her, making her smile again. Blaze was always a bit of a couple's nut, and loved to take credit for bringing two people together. She didn't care if she had to burn someone to make the point that they're right for each other.

"Awwww. That's so sweet. And what a way for the girls to win! I'm so giving Shade a hug next time I see her," she said with a gleeful smile.

"Speaking of hugging, apparently Knuckles and Shade have been doing that a lot recently. But it hasn't gone beyond that," I told her, then realized how dumb I was for presenting an opportunity for her to get two people together.

"Sweeter still! I'm gonna leave them to it," she said.

"Did you just say what I think you said?" I asked her.

"Yeah. I'm not gonna try to get them together. They'll see it for themselves soon enough. Like Tails and Cream did, and like Sonic and Amy have. Difference is that Sonic and Amy don't even know it's there yet. That is if nothing happened while he was at her house today," she said.

Wow. I never thought of it like that before. Maybe Blaze was on to something there. Maybe they just had to find their own ways to each other. But who was gonna cave first?

"You're probably right. But knows how long it'll be before they do anything about it," I said, thinking out loud. We were silent for a long while, thinking of the possibilities of what could happen.

"I'll make a bet with you," Blaze said, snapping me out of it.

"A bet eh? What do you have in mind?" I asked her.

"Well, I bet that Sonic will finally give up the chase and see how much Amy really means to him," she said.

"I bet that Amy caves instead then and finally admits her feelings for Sonic," I said.

"Guess I knocked some sense into you with what I said," she replied with a smirk.

"You bet," I said to her with a smirk, and saw her roll her eyes.

"Whatever," she replied, failing to hide some faint laughter in her voice.

"What are the stakes?" I asked.

"The stakes are the loser had to take the winner to that new place that opened not too long ago. And the loser pays for everything. And I mean everything; the ride there, the food, the ride back etc. Got it?" she said.

"Alright, you have a wager," I replied, and we shook hands to make it official. Then I got into the bed with her and we cuddled up, before I gasped remembering something.

"What's wrong?" she asked, obviously hearing my gasp.

"I just remembered! This last year of school is a bit shorter than usual, and there is supposed to be a dance near the end of the year to close it off!" I said in a tone that sounded like excitement mixed with panic.

"In that case Silver, will you be my date to the dance?" she asked sarcastically.

"I dunno. There's this girl that I was gonna ask but she wasn't at school today. Had a spastic colon I think," I said back with a smile, and turned to see her smiling too. Then I kissed her full on the lips for a brief few seconds.

"So, will you?" she asked again after the kissing stopped.

"Yes. Will you go with me to the dance?" I asked back.

"Yes," she said back. We soon smiled and went back to cuddling each other. Despite the fact that today was a bit crappy without her at school, it actually turned out pretty well.

And another chapter down. I have no idea how long my next one will be, but hopefully it won't be too long true believers! Thank you for reading so far, and I hope to see you all again. Until next time!
