HELLO AGAIN PEOPLES! I am so happy with that last chapter! I have not only put myself and my cousin into the story, but I have also let the secret out, so Shadow and Tails don't have to hide their love anymore! YAYYYY!
Shadow: I don't know, I kinda liked the idea of having a secret love...
But, now you two can be all lovey-dovey pretty much anywhere and nobody's gonna really care!
Tails: That'll be nice, won't it, Shadie?
Shadow: It will, yes.
Yay, happiness to all! I like chocolate!
Shadow: Okay, then. and your point in saying this is...?
I don't know. I just wanted to be random. I like to do that!
Tails: Okay then.
Well, anyways, I think I'm gonna write more about you two. Before I start, though, a fair warning: as I do believe I said last chapter, expect drama in this chapter! Now, we dance! Ns-ns-ns-ns-ns-ns-ns-ns-ns-
Shadow: What in the world are you doing?
Party boy song! Ns-ns-ns-ns-ns-ns-ns-
(page break: I went out on a date with a girl a bit late! She had so many friends! I brought my pogo stick just to show 'er a trick! She had so many friends!)
"Hey, Scar," Sonic said to his auburn-furred friend, "you wanna come back to my house? I'm gonna need some help with that English assignment."
"Sure, I can do that," Scarlet the wolf said to the cobalt hedgehog. "I'll walk over after dinner."
"Cool. See ya later, then," the cobalt animal said as he stepped onto the bus.
"Later, dude," Scarlet said as he walked to the back of the bus where Miles and Shadow sat. Sonic took a seat beside Vector the crocodile, another friend of his, and began to chat about nothing of importance.
(*!/0\!*)
"Alright, what the hell is a 'direct object'?" Sonic asked, staring at the book in his hand stupidly.
"Whatever the verb's affecting," Scarlet said as he scrawled on his notebook paper.
"Thanks," Sonic said before he proceeded to read through the sentence. Exchanges similar to this happened every so often as they worked through the assignment, Scarlet quickly, Sonic rather slowly. Once they were finished, they sat on opposite sides of Sonic's bed, facing each other.
"So... what to do?" Scarlet asked. "My mom kinda wanted me to be out for a good while, says I spend too much time in my house."
"Well, really, I don't know what we could do...," Sonic said to his friend.
"Well, I'd rather not sit around doing nothing. How 'bout we go outside?"
"Sure, that'll work, I suppose," Sonic said as he stood from the bed and walked over to his bedroom door. Scarlet followed close behind, and they both walked out the front door and around the house to the backyard, where Sonic had a large basketball court and a half pipe.
Scarlet gazed upon the two large objects in surprise. "Your dad's got a really good job, doesn't he?" the wolf asked.
"Yeah, he does," Sonic said. "And he likes me and Tails to be as active as possible."
"Speakin' of Tails, where is the little guy?" Scarlet said as he walked over to the basketball court.
"Uh, I'm pretty sure he's got Shadow up there helping with homework."
"Helping with homework, huh? You sure they're not up there making out?"
"They could be, but Shadow really did come over to help with homework, Miles had piles of it, and you know I suck at homework."
"Yes, I do know. Got any good balls?" Scarlet asked, looking around the court. Sonic began to laugh. "What?"
"Yeah, I've got some good ones, why do you ask?" Sonic asked jokingly.
"Oh, come on!" Scarlet yelled, beginning to laugh along with the hedgehog. "I meant basketballs, you asshole!"
"Over there," Sonic said, pointing to the opposite end of the court.
Scarlet ran over to that end of the court and picked up a ball, dribbling it back over to where Sonic still stood. "Wanna play a little H.O.R.S.E.?" the auburn wolf said to the cobalt hedgehog.
"Yeah, sure."
The two animals played a long game, throwing trick shots aplenty. They were just about evenly matched, and it took a full hour and a half for the game to end, at which point Scarlet had inflicted the E upon Sonic, while he still only had the first three letters.
"Looks like I won," Scarlet said boastfully as he panted, his flat tongue lolling out of his mouth.
"Don't think you can do that again anytime soon," Sonic said, also panting. The hedgehog walked over to the grass and sat down on it, hunched over and breathing heavily.
Scarlet sat down next to the hedgehog, catching his breath. "You played really well, Sonic," Scarlet said to the hedgehog.
"Thanks," Sonic said, his breathing becoming normal again.
"Really, man, that was a great game," Scarlet said, looking at Sonic.
"Thanks, I practice a lot," Sonic said, returning Scarlet's gaze. Sonic had an odd feeling wash over him as he looked into the wolf's bright blue eyes.
"I've never played with anybody as good as that, honestly."
"Yeah," Sonic said, staring as deep as possible into the wolf's eyes. "Your eyes are just beautiful, anybody ever tell you that?"
"Uh... no, but why are you... Mmph!" Scarlet yelled as the hedgehog's lips pressed firmly against his. Scarlet's eyes went wide, and he was frozen in shock. He regained composure as quickly as possible and pushed the hedgehog off of him. "Dude, what the hell?" Scarlet said, thouroughly shocked at his friend's actions.
"I-... I'm sorry Scarlet, I... I don't know why I did that, I just...," Sonic said apologetically.
"Alright, Sonic, look, I know you're upset about Knuckles cheating on you, and being single, and all that. I do feel sorry about it, but I don't really know how to help. I'm not about to date you, and you know that. I'm not gay. However, now that I think about it... there is someone I know that might go out with you..."
"Really?" Sonic said, looking up at his friend hopefully.
"I can't make any promises, but there's a chance he'll go out with you."
"Oh, thank you, Scarlet!" Sonic said, wrapping the wolf in a tight, friendly hug.
Scarlet pried the arms off of him. "Again, not gay here."
"Sorry."
"Anyways, I'll call him on my way home, see if he's interested."
"Thanks, Scar. I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Bye," Scarlet said as he began to leave.
"Bye!" Sonic called after his friend as he walked back to his house.
Once the back door was closed, Scarlet turned around and began to walk down the sidewalk and to his house. As he walked, he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and held down the 3 button, making a call menu instantly pop up. Scarlet held the cell phone to his ear as the chorus of On My Own played.
"Hello?" Snowe's voice said after the third line.
"Hey, Snowe," the wolf said.
"What is it? I've got a lot of homework that I really need to be finishing, so try to make it quick."
"Alright, then. You're still single, right?"
"That's correct."
"And you're looking?"
"Yes..."
"Well, what would you say if I knew a guy that might like to go out with you?"
"... I'm listening."
"Well, you know my friend Sonic, right?"
"Yes, I know him."
"Well, it's him."
"But I thought he was dating that Knuckles kid..."
"I thought I told you they broke up...?"
"You neglected to mention that, I'm afraid. So, Sonic wants to go out with me?"
"Yeah, I think he'd like it."
"... I'll have to get back to you on that."
"Alright, then. Call me tomorrow, then?"
"Sure, I'll do that. See you around, Scar."
"Bye, Snowe." Scarlet clicked his cell phone shut.
(page break: Close my eyes and move to the back of my mind where worries are washed out to sea. See the changes? People's faces blurred out.)
Like sunspots or raindrops. Now, all those feelings, those yesterday's feelings will all be lost in time. But today, I've wasted away, for today is on my mind.
Shadow: Okay, you can stop singing now.
I'm sorry, I just really like that song.
Shadow: Okay, then.
Tails: That chapter almost seemed pointless...
It wasn't, though! Sure, you two weren't in it, but just because you're the main characters doesn't mean you both have to be in every single chapter!
Tails: It would still be nice...
Self-centered much?
Tails: I am not self-centered!
Sure...
Shadow: Alright, you two, stop fighting, please.
Tails: We weren't fighting...
Shadow: Oh, well. Stop anyways.
Tails: You're mean...
No, he's not! He's sexy.
Tails & Shadow: *stare at me*
Uh... pie?
