ATE: Sorry it took so long to update this story. But it's all I could come up with. Enjoy chap 11.

Declaimer: I don't own Sonic the hedgehog in any way, shape, or form. If I did I be rich as all get out.

Chapter 11

After the incident between me and Shadow had happen, he teleported me back to Cream's house (directly to my room that is) and left as quickly as he had brought me back. I couldn't help but ponder on what happened so far as I stood in the dark.

He said that he 'might' stop being mean to me. I wouldn't be surprised if he would be mean to me at times to come, since it's in his character to seem that way. I couldn't help but laugh quietly as I imagined Shadow being all happy and optimistic like Sonic. True it would be hard to imagine, but think of how he would look. Now that's worth the laugh.

"I might as well go to sleep now." I thought as I got into the bed.

Even though I was in the bed ready to sleep, I didn't go to sleep right away. It's funny when you're exhausted you want to sleep, but once you get in your bed it seems to take awhile for you to fall asleep. But I just decided to close my eyes and wait for sleep to come to me. It eventually did and I was sound-proof.

--

I was woken up by the sound of someone knocking on the door. I soon realized that the sound was coming from my door. I got out of bed and went over to the door and opened it, and was met with the sight of Cream holding Cheese as she looked up at me with a smile on her face.

"Good morning Miss Tori." She said cheerfully.

"You don't have so formal. It's just Tori, it feels strange being called 'Miss'." I said.

"Alright Tori. I came to tell you that it's time for breakfast. So come down when you're ready."

"Chao chao!" Said Cheese.

"Alright. I'll be down soon."

Cream and Cheese left me to get ready (which didn't take long). Once I was done, I went downstairs and saw that everything (including the food) was already set at the table.

Sitting at the table were Sonic, Amy, Tails, Cream (and Cheese), and Vanilla. There was an empty chair and they were waiting for me to join them. I went over to the table and said in the empty chair. We were soon able to eat and as we ate, Tails spoke up.

"So you must be Tori." He said.

I looked up at him. "That's right. I'm Tori."

"Sonic told me about you and how you know about us. It's great to meet you."

"I could say the same."

"What you know about us is most interesting. I would like to find out sometime."

"Don't worry. I'll tell you about it when you want to know."

After we ate I was helping clear the table, when Sonic approached me.

"Hey Tori." He said.

"Hey Sonic. What do you want?" I asked.

"Can I talk to you alone outside?"

I looked at him. I was confused and I was wondering what he would want to talk to me about.

"Sure thing."

I followed him outside where it was only the two of us. It was quiet in an awkard way and it made me feel uneasy at the time. I looked down at the blue hedgehog in front of me.

"So what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?" I asked.

"I know that you were with Shadow last night." He said.

I looked at his with a surprised look on my face.

"H-how did you know?"

"I heard what happened in your room, since I sleep on the roof."

I immediately had a mental image of Sonic sleeping on top of the roof at night. It wasn't exactly hard to imagine since he did it in 'Sonic X'.

"You were eavesdropping on me?" I asked.

"Well, it wasn't hard to miss. It was an accident to be honest." He said. "I know he took you somewhere, but what exactly happened anyways?"

I told Sonic about what happened, but left out the part about Shadow being nice to me and altering it somewhat. I didn't think the black hedgehog wanted his reputation ruined now did he?

"So that's what happened? At least you didn't get hurt."

"Is that all you wanted to know, Sonic?" I asked.

"There was something else I wanted to ask you about..."

"What is it?"

"Well..." He started scratching his head looking...nervous...? "It's about Amy..."

I got a curious look on my face.

"What about her?" I asked.

Sonic motioned for me to bend down and I did so. He started whispering in my ear about her. I suddenly started to smile.

"Oh, so you like her?" I asked quietly.

"Yeah. But I don't know what to do for her, though. So I was wondering if you knew what to do."

"I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, but I'll try since you don't know what to do." I said.

"Trying is better than not doing anything, right?" He said.

"That's true. I'm thinking that you could give her chocolates or flowers...or better yet give her both if you want. And you should take her somewhere nice here. You bettermuch know the place better than I do so that won't be a problem. What do you think?"

"That sounds like an idea to me. It might just work out well. Thanks for helping me out, Tori."

"No problem. I just hope it works out well between you guys."

With that Sonic ran off. I might as well go back inside, since I have nothing better to do. I wonder if my plan will work between Sonic and Amy?

ATE: Sorry if it was short. I'm starting to run out of ideas. So if anyone has any ideas write them in your reviews. I'll be happy to use them and give credit to those who sent them to me.

Please Review.
