Hey guys. Welcome to chapter eleven. You know how I told Tails I had an idea for this chapter, well I changed it into something completely different (using Monty Python reference).
Tails: What was your original idea?
Me: Well I was going to have Amy fall out of your plane but have Chris catch her.
Tails: Why did she fall out?
Me: Because of a chaos emerald.
Tails: Oh.
Me: This conversation is between you and me. (Going back to the audience) Review after you read.

Chris' Point of View
*IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER*
I have been back in school for a month. Over summer vacation, we all went to L.A. Amy and I have been dating for five months and never had an argument, and there is always a spark. It just keeps getting bigger after every week I spend with this beautiful hedgehog. I even told some of my other friends and they were completely alright with it. It was October and we are planning are Thanksgiving party. Mom, Dad, Grand Pa, and I have no idea who to invite. We all agreed that Sonic and the others are having Thanksgiving with us (Since they live with us), but we still had no idea who else to invite. So we talked with everyone else and we agreed that we will have Uncle Sam, Shadow, Topaz, Rouge, Frankie, Naomi, Knuckles, and the Chaotix over.
"What is the total amount of people?" My mom asked.
"Lets see," I said, "There are four of us, plus Sonic and the others which is a total of ten, plus Ella and Tinaka which is now twelve, plus ten more which is a total of twenty-two." Everyone just looked at me like I had three heads. "What? I'm good with math." Everyone just laughed.
"Wow. Looks like we have some major cooking to do girls." Ella said. Then she pulled out a notebook and started to write down a shopping list. "We are going to need three turkeys, three loafs of bread, two containers of oregano, eight boxes of pasta, ten cans of tomato sauce, three pumpkins, two containers of pepper flakes, three cucumbers, two romaine lettuce heads, four carrots, three packages of flower, a can of yeast, a large container of croutons, two containers of olive oil, two containers of vinegar, four cartons of eggs, and various drinks. Wow, it is like Black Friday for cooking."
"But Thanksgiving isn't until next month Ella." Vanilla said. "We have more than enough time to make preparations."
"I know. I just like to plan ahead. So that way, there isn't any last minute cooking or shopping." Then we all parted from the meeting. I just went into the living room and just turned on the TV. The news was on and it was talking about some of the performers for the Christmas Eve, Fighting Cancer benefit concert in Times Square. Then Amy came in curious.
"Hey Amy." I said.
"Hiya Chrisyku." She said. I blushed a little with the nickname she used to addresses Sonic. "Whats that?"
"They are talking about some of the performers for the cancer benefit concert during Christmas Eve in Times Square in New York City."
"Who's going to be there?"
"Looks like Big Time Rush, Drake Bell, Both BonJovi and Springsteen are performing, and The Jonas Brothers so far. But these are the only ones that have been conformed."
"Interesting."
"My mom knows the guy who runs the whole thing. If you want, I can have her friend book you."
"I can't."
"What are you talking about Amy, you have an amazing singing voice." I said giving her confidence.
"Well you're a good singer too Chris."
FREEZE
I know what your wondering, Chris, you can sing? Well the answer to that is yes. Sometimes when Amy and I hear a good song that is perfect for a duet, we would sing it. She thinks I have I good voice and I think she has a perfect voice. I can only do duets though. When it comes to solos, well my voice cracks. It's weird if you ask me. Everyone else thinks we sound great as a duet.
UNFREEZE
"Ahh, your just saying that because I'm your boyfriend." I said.
"No, this is coming from the truth." Amy said. "I think we should ask your mom to ask her friend if we should book us." I got up walked up to Amy, and pulled her into a hug.
"You're right Amy. Well it all depends if we get lucky enough to get the gig."
"So what songs do you want to do?" I looked down into her emerald green eyes (GOD, how I loved her eyes) ready to answer.
"How about we do two songs. A duet version of Weekend in New England and a duet of All I want for Christmas."
"I was thinking of those two songs as well." I just smiled and hugged her a little closer. We walked out of the living room and found my mom outside in the gazebo reading a book.
"Hey mom." I said. "Listen we need a favor and it's a biggie."
"What is it honey?" She said.
"Your friend Scott, is he still finding acts for this years Christmas Eve concert in Times Square?"
"Yes. Wait, let me guess." She putt on her thinking face and then said, "You two want to perform a duet on stage in Times Square, during the Christmas Eve Fighting Cancer concert." Both Amy and I nodded our heads. "Well I'll give him a ring and see what he thinks." My mom then pulled out a pink cell phone, dialed the number and waited for a response. "…Hi Scott, its Lindsey…I'm fine. Listen, are you still looking for performers for the Christmas Eve concert?...That's good because my son and his girlfriend want to perform a duet and I heard them sing and they sound phenomenal…That can be arranged…Ok, you take care now, OK by by." My mom hung up and looked at us. "He said yes, but he has some other people he would like to put in the show. He also mentioned that there was a ninety-nine percent chance of you guys getting in. And he has to here you guys sing and what song or songs you are going to be singing, so he will drop by in a few days." Amy and I were excited. She gave me a death hug and we just smiled.
"We have to go rehearse." Amy and I said. So we went inside and started to rehearse. Christmas is two months away and I already have that Christmas spirit.
Now I probably wont be posting for another week or so, because I have been under a lot of stress with this and homework that I have no time. Plus I have been struggling in Algebra. So until then, review like crazy.
