Hey guys Izzy here! Sorry for the long wait, I've had a lot happen and I've just been trying to recharge before hopping back. Well here I am now. Hope you enjoy this chapter, I decided to give in to an Idea I've had for Sonic for a while. Any ideas, and suggestions you can PM me :)

CH 14

A few days had passed by, Sonic hadn't heard a word from Minerva in a while, she wouldn't answer his texts or his calls.. It made him worry. Did he do something wrong? He got up, quickly got dressed and went out to find her.

The first place he went to was the bar he met her at.

As he entered he looked around, he didn't see her anywhere.. He approached the bartender, who seemed a little busy.

"Hey, you mentioned that you knew Minerva once, do you happen to see her pass by here?" Sonic asked.

The male looked over. "Ah it's you again. Haven't you heard? Minerva left town."

Sonic's heart sank at what the bartender told him. She left already? His head hung low.

"I see, thanks.."

"You have 5 new messages; new message: Hey! I was just wondering if you wanted to go out for a few drinks, I could use the company."

The sound of a button could be heard as another message played.

"New message: Hey. Um.. just wanted to say hi. I'm sorry if I did anything wrong, maybe I could try and make it up to you somehow?"... "Message marked for deletion. New message: uh.. Hey again, I don't mean to be a bother. I just wanted to see if I can make up for whatever I did. Did I overstep my boundaries? I don't like the thought of hurting anyone.. Especially you."

… "Message marked for deletion, New message: I..I'm sorry. Whatever it was that I did, I'm sorry. I just.. I just want to try and make things right, please. The guilt is killing me!"

… "Message marked for deletion, New message: I heard you left.. I um.. I wish you the best of luck on your journey, and I hope you find what you're looking for.."

… "Message saved. There are no messages."

The sound of a phone being shut could be heard as a sigh was let out.

"You're a good one blue.. You deserve someone better than me.."

The sound of a motorcycle could be heard as it drove off.. Minerva's journey was now beginning..

XXXXXXX

Sonic sighed as he came up to a door. He usually didn't come by unannounced, but he felt like he needed the company.

With a firm knock, he waited for a few seconds until the door opened.

"Oh, Hey Sonic what brings you here?"

Sonic looked up and saw Tikal. "Hey, um.. Is Scourge around?"

Tikal nodded. "You'll have to wait a while though, he just went upstairs with Ava and Amy.." She said as she led him to the living room.

Sonic faintly blushed, knowing what he was doing. "A-Alright.. Sure, no problem."

The blue blur sat on the couch, next to him, was Lana and Alice.

"Sup!" Lana greeted.

Sonic smiled slightly. "Hey."

"You alright?" Alice asked.

Sonic looked to his toes. "I don't know.."

"What's wrong?"

As the young hero was beginning to explain, there was loud squeaking noises. The three of them went silent for a second.

"Maybe we should move to the kitchen? Ava and Amy could be real screamers." Lana said as she got up.

The three moved to the kitchen, and as Sonic sat down, he sighed.

"Well, here's the thing.."

Sonic got down to what transpired between Minerva and him, by the end, Sonic had only felt worse, rather than better.

Alice and Lana put their hands on his shoulders. "Hey listen, don't beat yourself up about it, I'm sure you can find someone else." Lana tried to comfort.

Sonic shook his head. "I don't think I will.. She was unlike any other.."

Lana suddenly stood up. "Bullshit! I know there's a hot chick out there that fits with you besides her! And I'm going to prove it!" She snapped.

The young female ran upstairs for a few minutes and came back in her party outfit, which was a dark red tube top with booty shorts and red heels.

"Sonic, you and I are heading to the club to prove my statement!" She said as she pulled Sonic out the house.

XXXXXXX

Lana and Sonic had just arrived at a nearby club, while Lana was trying to get Sonic in the party groove, the blue hero just wasn't feeling it. Much to her dismay.

"Would a few drinks help out?" Lana asked as she was already pounding back shots.

Sonic gave a half smile. "Maybe."

As the two took a few shots of whisky, The two started to go dance on the dance floor. As the young male was busting some grooves, he tripped over his foot, and fell on top of someone.

"S-Sorry!" He began saying as he was holding his head from the impact.

"Whatever, Can you just get off of me?"

Sonic looked up sharply, he knew that brooding voice anywhere..He looked back down and found that it indeed was that person who he thought it was. Shadow the hedgehog.

As the two males got up, Sonic looked confused. "What are you even doing here? You're not the type to party?"

Shadow huffed. "I'm not, but I was dragged here by Rouge. She's trying to play matchmaker again." He explained, exasperated.

Sonic nodded. "Yeah, My brother's girlfriend is doing the same thing."

Shadow quirked a brow. "Alice is playing matchmaker?"

"No, it's Lana who's playing matchmaker, Alice didn't want to."

Shadow nodded. "I'm going to get a drink." He said as he began walking away.

Sonic chewed his lip and followed.

=With Lana=

Lana was keeping a close eye on Sonic from a distance, she noticed him walking away with Shadow. She moved a bit closer and watched him pound back drinks. It made her smirk.

'I may have found the reason why he doesn't get along with girls so well..' She thought confidently.

She kept an eye on the blue hero for a few minutes, she noticed he seemed to be slowly moving closer and closer to Shadow, as the other male reciprocated.

'I'm happy for ya blue. Hopefully this time it works out for ya.'

=With Sonic=

Sonic and Shadow became absolutely plastered and were just having a few bants about their lives.

"Hey, wanna get out of here?" The black and red male asked.

Sonic had a small smile. "Sure."

It was around three in the morning when Sonic woke up, his head was pounding, and he could barely recall anything that happened.

He sat up slowly and looked around, the room was unrecognizable. It was messy and unorganized, as he was going to get up, he found his lower half was absolutely sore.

He looked to his left and found Shadow fast asleep and lacking clothes, making his face become blank.

'Did.. did Shadow and I just….'

He lifted the blanket and found himself undressed as well confirming his suspicions. His face went dark red as he processed what they had just done..

'Do I even like him like that? Or was this an experiment..'

While Sonic continued thinking, he suddenly found arms wrap around him.

"What are you doing awake at almost four in the morning?"

Sonic's ears folded back. "Couldn't sleep."

"Headache? I don't blame you. We got absolutely shit faced."

Sonic blushed as he felt Shadow lean his head against his shoulders, what was with his behaviour? It was like they were a couple…

"I'll pass you some advil."

Sonic nodded. As Shadow left, he heard his phone starting to buzz. He took it and saw he had a lot of twitter notifications.

'I'm tagged in a photo?'

He opened up twitter and his jaw dropped at what he saw. It was a photo of him and Shadow kissing with the caption: "They say you find love in the most strangest places, who would've thought that would've been in a nightclub.."

He looked to see who posted it, and he found it was himself that posted it.

The comments on that post were filled with love and support from fans, family, and friends.

Sonic put his hands on his head. Shadow seemed to be cool with the fact that they 'got together'. Should he be as well?

He jumped as he saw Shadow enter the room suddenly, he handed him a glass of water with advil.

"Here." He merely said.

Sonic nodded thanks to him and took the advil, he placed the glass on the night stand and laid back down. Shadow followed suit, and suddenly pulled Sonic to his chest. The blue blur found himself blushing heavily, with a fast beating heart. He smiled slightly. Maybe this might work out after all..
