Tick... Tick... Tick...

The sluggish ticking of the clock are the only noises Silver can hear in his Geometry class; ignoring the chatter from his classmates about how to solve a certain problem from the homework or their plans for the weekend. Why? Well...

"Silver?"

The sophomore turned around to see who called him, and he really wanted to dash out of the classroom right now because the person who called his name is Blaze. No... Please no. Anyone but her. He would rather have the teacher call him rather than Blaze.

But Silver doesn't want to be rude so he decided to turn around to Blaze, wondering what she has to say to him.

"Yeah?" Silver quietly replied to Blaze with his face slowly starting to turn red.

"Well, I've been trying to tell you something important all this week..." Blaze started her sentence.

Oh, no. Not this conversation again... Silver groaned in his thoughts. He knows that Blaze is going to bring up the kiss from last week. He just knows it for a fact! Throughout this week, whenever Blaze has the chance to talk with Silver, the 'kiss' incident is usually the first topic that she'll discuss with him; next to the book report that's due in a few weeks.

"I know you freaked out on the kiss last week," Blaze explained to Silver, "And I understand you had to do it because of a dare, so I was wondering if-"

But before Blaze can even finish her sentence, Silver ended up interrupting her, on accident, by saying, "Uh... I think I heard someone calling me for help on their homework, so I'll just go! I'll talk to you later, Blaze. I promise!"

On his way, he tripped on one of the legs on the desk, causing him to fall down to the ground, his head almost hitting another leg on a student's desk. Everyone stared at the ivory-haired teen and their eyes later trailed to the lavender haired student, curious on what Blaze did that caused Silver to act this way. And they all know she didn't use her fire powers because if she did, there would be smoke and it would trigger the fire alarm. They thought that Silver might have developed some feelings for his new friend. Maybe that's why he's been acting weird this period...

Actually, Silver hasn't been himself ever since last Friday. He slept in some of his classes, not to mention he arrived three minutes late in at least two of his classes (this one included), tripping at random things (from his own shoe laces to a pencil lying on the ground), and hasn't been talking a lot like he usually does. Sure, he talks to his classmates and his friends, but he either listens to the conversation or says a max of three words- maybe more if he's in a 'better' mood- instead of being part of the conversation. And it's driving almost everyone crazy, especially Blaze! She would rather have Silver talking to her instead of almost completely ignoring her all week long.

Ooh, how much Blaze wants to talk to Silver and tell him about what happened last week. How she wishes...

BRIIINGG!

Stupid bell, Blaze thought as she grabbed her backpack underneath her desk and stuffed her notes and homework inside her binder. By the time she was done doing that, Silver has already left the classroom; probably to avoid Blaze for who knows how many times (Blaze lost count by Wednesday). This can't continue forever. She has to talk to Silver about how she feels about the kiss before Silver starts to avoid her completely. But how...?

MEOW! MEOW!

Huh? Where is that sound coming... Oh yeah... It's Blaze's ringtone... Currently, it's set on cats saying meow over and over until she picks it up or when it ends by the fourth ring.

Note to self, change my ringtone, Blaze mentally reminded herself. This ringtone is cool and all, but it's starting to get on her nerves.

Wanting the meows to stop, she searched her bag for her phone, and she checked who it could be. Maybe it might be her dad, but it wasn't when she read the caller ID on the screen as she's walking out of the classroom and started to walk down the stairs. It was Amy and according to the screen, it says that Amy has sent her a message. After walking down the stairs, Blaze decided to check the message on her phone which reads:

"Blaze, if you have time, meet me outside at the front of the school." -Ames

Wonder why? Blaze questioned herself as she put her phone back inside her backpack. Blaze then started to sprint from the stair case to the front of the school as fast as possible since she doesn't want to keep Amy waiting just because she got stuck from the crowds of people hurrying to get home.

Eventually, Blaze made it to her destination, seeing Amy, currently sitting at the bench, looking at her phone a few times before she caught a glimpse of her lavender-haired friend.

"Blaze, you're here!" Amy waved to Blaze as she got up from the bench.

"Yeah... I received your message just recently," Blaze told Amy. "Is anyone else coming?"

"Nope, just you," the pink-haired teen replied.

"Uh... Why's that?"

"Because of a few things. One, I want you to walk with me to where my mom works."

"That's it...?"

"Nope. I'll tell you the other reason later once we actually get there. It's not too far from the school; only takes about ten to fifteen minutes on foot. I promise."

"Alright," Blaze said as the two started to leave the campus to whatever place Amy's mom works at. Hopefully, it's not something stupid such as a fast-food restaurant or a cashier at a grocery store.


~ A few minutes later~

In less than about ten minutes since they started walking from school, Blaze and Amy were currently getting through a busy and crowded shopping district that's close to Rodeo Drive. Blaze almost lost sight of Amy at one point while crossing a street! Of course the streets would be crowded. It's Friday for crying out loud! What do most people do when it's Friday? Besides going to parties or stay up until who knows how long, shopping is usually the most common thing; especially teenagers. Now Blaze wonders where Amy's mom works at since they're at a shopping district, a busy and gorgeous district to be exact!

After getting through the crowd, the two sighed in relief that they got out of the crowd full of busy shoppers and can walk in a sidewalk where there's more space. Thank god. Another crowd and Blaze would have left.

"God, was that horrible..." Blaze told Amy.

"I know," Amy agreed with Blaze, "But don't worry, just about eight stores ahead and we'll be there."

"If you say so, Amy," says Blaze as the two continued walking, passing by two popular brand name stores called Marzipan Sky and AZ-USA.

While the two were walking, Amy didn't like the silence that was surrounding them (not counting the cars and the chatter of people passing by) so she needed to start a conversation. But what could Amy talk about anyway? Hmm...

"Uh, Blaze," Amy started her conversation, "I know this may sound weird and all, but I know you've been trying to talk with Silver all this week about the kiss..."

"Yes, it's really difficult to do that," Blaze replied.

"And it's got me thinking, how did you feel about that kiss?"

"EH?!" Blaze exclaimed in shock when she heard Amy's question. She didn't thought how she felt about the kiss... until now! Not to mention she really didn't want to remember it again!

"Well, I'm waiting."

"Uh... I... I really don't want to talk about it."

"Oh, come on! It's not like I'm recording this and will post it on Youtube. Just tell me how you feel about the kiss with Silver. I don't care if your answer is short or long."

"Alright. To be honest, I don't know how to describe it since it was my first kiss-"

"Really?! That was your first kiss?! Why didn't you tell me last week at the sleepover?!" Amy interrupted Blaze.

"We were too busy playing Truth or Dare and it was too loud to tell you when we all played Mario Kart: Double Dash afterwords," Blaze explained to Amy.

"Oh, right. Kind of forgot about it. But sorry about interrupting you, Blaze. Continue on."

"Anyway, I was actually surprised when Silver suddenly kissed me, yet at the same time I enjoyed it because I thought he... you know..."

"Likes you?" Amy guessed.

"Yeah, but he said he likes me as a friend and started to avoid me when he said that. Why?"

"Uh... Maybe's he's too afraid."

"Afraid of what?"

"He's afraid of-" Amy didn't have time to respond as she spotted an advertisement poster on a shopping window featuring Rouge wearing a dress that's blue on the top, yellow ruffles on the bottom with red and blue roses, blue hanging earrings, a brown, orange and blue bracelet, a brown purse, and brown lace up wedges. And as always, Rouge is looking sexy in that shot as she poses in front of a merry-go-round. Above Rouge was a slogan that reads: "Be you, be divine like a rose. Divine Rose". This poster has been her for at least one month and whenever Amy goes to that store, it means one thing.

"Amy, what are you about to say?" asked Blaze, curious as to why Amy stopped talking.

"I'll tell you later since we're here."

"Your mom works at a boutique?"

"Yes, but she's the manager of this place," Amy pointed out as she opened the door to enter the store. "Come on, Blaze."

Blaze followed Amy to the store, but as she entered the store, she ended up accidentally bumping into an employee carrying stacks of shirts and pants, causing them to fall to the wooden floor.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" Blaze started to apologize to the employee. "I didn't mean to do bump into you on purpose. I didn't see you when I-"

"It's fine, so don't worry," the employee replied to Blaze.

Blaze was about to say something back to the employee but she didn't when she looked at who she bumped into: Sally! She's wearing a denim blue dress with lace on the collar and the bottom, baby blue ballet flats, gold small bow earrings, and just like last Friday, Sally looks like she's not wearing make-up but might have used some that blend in with her skin. At least she isn't dressed like a slut. But the question both Blaze and Amy have for Sally:

"What are you doing here?"

"I work here," Sally simply stated as if this is normal.

"Since when?" asked Amy.

"Since last Saturday. As part of my grounding that I didn't deserve, I have to find a job. And I know I didn't want to work at a nasty fast-food restaurant or at an amusement park so I prayed to god that I can get a job at a really good store. Luckily, this store was hiring at the time I was looking for a job, so I took it. Not to mention I'm very interested in fashion."

"Makes sense."

"So, what are you two doing here, anyway?" Sally asked the two girls while picking up the clothes from the floor. "And Amy, if you're looking for your mom, she's helping out on a photo shoot promoting new collections for American Eagle."

Besides Amy's mom running a successful boutique in Beverly Hills, she's also one of the top stylists in the city, helping out on photo shoots for very successful and well-known brands such as Hollister, Forever 21, Aeropostale, and so on. She also helps out with the various of fashion shows- big or small- that are being held in the city. However, due to her busy schedule, she doesn't have time to spend with Amy, so to make things up, Amy often helps out in the boutique with her and the other employees whenever she can (usually on the weekends). Hearing the news that her mom is out doesn't bother Amy that much as she knows this is her mother's passion.

"I'm not here to see my mom, but I'm here because I've got something special for Blaze," Amy told Sally.

Upon hearing that from Amy, Blaze's mouth was opened slightly in surprise and echoed the last words Amy said, "Something special for me? What?"

"Oh, yeah. That's another reason why I want you to walk with me after school: to get you an outfit for tomorrow!"

"Huh?! I have nothing planned tomorrow, except read my books and do my homework."

"Until now," Amy announced as she pulled out eight tickets out of the pockets of her backpack.

"Amy, what are you holding?"

"Eight tickets to the coolest amusement park in California: Twinkle Park!"

"EH?!"

"I know, right? My mom gave them to me and said I should take my friends there! And I thought tomorrow would be perfect since they actually expire Sunday and I don't want to take you guys on a Sunday for obvious reasons."

"So, who's going?"

"Besides me and you, Cream and Tails are able to go, but as for the others, it's kind of complicated. I know Rouge has her photo shoots and Knuckles is forced to go with her due to a bet he lost, Espio has work at Asia Diamond until two, and Tikal is going to spend the day with her dad."

"What about Sonic, Shadow, Maria, and..." Blaze paused for a moment after she realizes what Amy is planning. "Oh, god. You're going to..."

"Yep! Silver is going as well. And if he's going to be there, I want you to look your best tomorrow!"

"Thanks, Amy."

"No problem," Amy replied before she turned to Sally who is finally done picking up the fallen clothes and set them up at a rack. After that, Sally started to dress up a mannequin that's on the display window, starting with a blue lacy t-shirt and dark denim shorts.

As she's watching Sally putting the clothes on the mannequin, Amy got a good idea and called out, "Hey, Sally! After you're done with that, can you do a huge favor for me?"

"Sure," Sally replied as she put on some black flats on it. "What is it?"

"Do you think you can find an outfit that Blaze can wear to Twinkle Park tomorrow?"

"Alright. Do you need an outfit?"

"Nope, I'm fine," Amy replied as she pulled out her phone and dialed a number that's very familiar to her.


~Chaotix Orphanage: Silver's and Espio's Room (4:30 P.M)~

Face stuffed on the pillow while listening to the music from his headphones, Silver ignored the chatter that's going on between Sonic and Espio, with the latter getting dressed for work at Sapphire since his shifts for Asia Diamond were oddly switched to Saturday (must be Wave's doing like she did with the last two weeks). All that's going on in his mind is, again, the kiss from last week! It must be like, what, the hundredth time he has repeated this memory? He didn't know, but all that Silver knows is that it's never going away and the fact that Blaze might hate him because of what he said.

"Yes, but as a close friend and-"

Oh, why the hell did I say that?! Silver screamed in his thoughts. The only reason he said it is because he didn't want to reveal his true feelings to a girl he just recently met two weeks ago! He knows that he can't tell a girl he loves her in a short amount of time (like about a day to a week). It's common sense (to some people at least)! But now that he said it, what is Silver going to do to fix it?!

"...Vennie! Earth to Vennie!" he heard Sonic calling him since he knows only Sonic calls him 'Vennie'.

Silver ignored Sonic's calling from the loud music, but the song he's currently listening to suddenly faded quickly when he felt someone remove his headphones from his ears.

"Okay, who did that?!" Silver snapped while lifting his face off of the pillow. Not too shortly after, he ended up getting smacked on the head with a pillow by Sonic. "Hey! What was that for?!"

"I was trying to call you, but you were too occupied with your music that I needed to remove them from you."

"Not to mention you've been ignoring us for the past seven minutes," Espio added while straightening his tie.

"I have?" Silver questioned himself, oblivious on what happened

"Uh, duh you have!" Sonic replied. "Why else would I hit you with a pillow in the first place?"

Silver said nothing in response to Sonic's question, staring at the wooden floor.

"But anyway, Espio and I were trying to call you because we want to talk to you-"

"Please don't mention 'that' incident from last week!" Silver interrupted Sonic, stuffing his face on the pillow once again. "Blaze probably hates me..."

"Dude, just because you kissed her due to a dare doesn't mean she'll hate you forever."

"Are you sure, Sonic?" Silver wondered, not believing on what Sonic said.

"Of course!"

"And the only way to know that is if you actually talk to Barbara, Venice," Espio pointed out. "If you keep avoiding her, you'll miss out on what she has to say."

"Espio made a good point, Vennie. You are going to talk to her eventually."

Right after Sonic finished his sentence, his phone started to ring to the tone of 'Escape from The City', which is his official ringtone for anyone who's calling him. Curious on who's calling him, Sonic pulled up his phone from his pockets and checked the caller ID from his screen, which is Amy. He wondered why Amy would call him, though he could obviously guess that she might ask him out to a date to somewhere he doesn't like. Well, he wouldn't know until he actually picks up the phone. He pressed answer on his touch screen and placed his phone on his ear.

"Hello?" Sonic started the call.

"Oh, thank god you got my call, Sonic!" Amy exclaimed on the phone. "I thought you would never pick up."

"Yeah... So Ames, what did you want from me?"

"Well, I was wondering if you had anything planned for tomorrow."

"Uh... Besides running around the park ten times, no. Why?"

"I have eight tickets to Twinkle Park, and I was wondering if you can go. Tails, Cream, and Blaze are going as well."

"Hmm... Yeah, that sounds-" but Sonic paused his sentence when he heard Amy mention Blaze. So if Blaze is going... Ooh, Sonic had a brilliant plan that popped in his head. "Did you say that Blaze is going?"

"Yeah... Why?"

"Oh, let's see," Sonic started while staring at Silver to see if he's looking at Sonic. Luckily, he's listening to his music once again, though this time, he's staring at the ceiling instead of having his face stuffed on the pillow. After that, he focused his attention on the phone call with Amy and continued off on where he started, "I'm at the Chaotix Orphanage in Silver's and Espio's room. I was thinking about bringing Silver to Twinkle Park tomorrow, but I'm not going to tell him that Blaze is coming just to surprise him."

"Really? You're one step ahead of me, Sonic!" Amy said with joy.

"Why's that?"

"I was going to call Silver, but then I thought I should call you instead since you can make up some good yet unpredictable plans."

Of course. No one would expect Sonic to make plans at all. He's the last person who would come up with a unique plan that no one thought of. How else was he able to pull pranks on his friends; Shadow especially?

"Well thank god you didn't call Silver or he would've freaked out even more," Sonic commented.

"Yeah," Amy agreed with the azure speedster. "But enough about Silver. Are you going?"

"Of course I am! And since I know Knuckles and Espio are occupied for tomorrow, let me see if I can get Shadow to come."

"Why not Jet?"

"If I inform him the details about tomorrow, he'll say no right off the bat, thinking I'm setting him up with Wave for a date. Not to mention he has work on that day as well."

"I see. Good luck on convincing Shadow to come with us tomorrow."

"Yeah. Oh, and before I forget to ask you, Ames. What time do you want us to be there?"

"Uh... we'll meet at the front of the park at about 11 AM. Does that sound fine to you?"

"That sounds fine to me. See you tomorrow, Ames," Sonic said as he ended the call, and somehow heard Amy squealing with joy.

Silver heard the girlish screams before Sonic hanged up and started to dial the number for Shadow's phone. Slowly lifting his head off of the pillow, Silver paused the music that's currently playing and asked Sonic, "Who was that screaming on the phone?"

"Amy," Sonic simply replied, tapping his foot at a rapid pace while waiting for Shadow to pick up. "She called me to tell me that she has eight tickets for Twinkle Park and wants us to come tomorrow at 11 AM."

"Really? Who's coming?" Silver questioned Sonic.

"Let's see... Beside me and Amy, Tails and Cream are going, and if possible, I'm going to get Shadow to come. And I'll bet you $5 that he'll bring Maria with him."

"But that makes seven people. Who else is-" Silver was interrupted when Sonic waved his index finger back and forth, signaling him that it's a secret.

Hmm... Now that got Silver thinking on who's going. He knows it can't be Knuckles or Espio since they're both busy for tomorrow. It can't be Jet either as he has work at Asia Diamond; not to mention he'll argue with both Sonic and Shadow (mainly the former) the whole time about stupid things. And he remembered that Tikal is going to spend the entire day tomorrow with her dad while Knuckles is away. So, who could it be? One of Sonic's younger siblings: Sonia and Manic? Maybe. Miracle? Please, please, no. Just no. Sally? He doesn't know at all! Blaze?

...If it is Blaze, he would rather have Miracle than Blaze to be here tomorrow. Honest.

Well, he has to wait until tomorrow to see who's going to be there. He prayed to god it won't be Blaze or he'll have to hide underneath a random game booth all day.


~Back at Divine Rose~

Amy smiled to herself as she not only convinced Sonic to come (which is awesome), she managed to get Silver to go with the help of Sonic. Ooh, this is going too well! Soon enough, Silver will be back to his normal self once he talks with Blaze about the kiss last week. Speaking of Blaze, she wonders if she found her outfit for tomorrow with the help from Sally.

She spotted Sally carrying some shirts, tank tops, and pants while leaning against on one of the dressing room doors that's unlocked.

"How's Blaze, Sally?" Amy asked the brunette.

"She's changing into an outfit I recommended to her," Sally informed the rose-haired sophomore. "It's suppose to be good for going out to an amusement park."

"Ooh, I can't wait!" Amy squealed in excitement.

As if on cue, Blaze unlocked the door, stepping out of the dressing room to see what Sally and Amy thought about this outfit. Blaze is sporting a white flowing tank top that has laces on the straps with a light blue denim jacket covering it, dark denim shorts with one ripped hole on the bottom right, and black canvas sneakers with white knee socks. To be honest, Blaze thought it was going to be uncomfortable, but those thoughts vanished when she actually tried them on. Boy, does Sally has great taste when it comes to clothes.

"So, how do I look?" Blaze asked quietly.

"You look awesome, Blaze!" Amy exclaimed, hugging the lavender pyrokinetic. "Wait 'til Silver sees you in that outfit! He's going to freak!"

"R... really?"

"Yeah!" Amy released Blaze from the hug and turned to Sally, saying, "Thanks for picking out a gorgeous outfit for Blaze, Sally!"

"It's... it's no problem, really," Sally replied, blushing as she hasn't heard someone say 'thank you' to her in a while. "Once Blaze gets changed back to her regular clothes, we'll pay for the outfit. Okay?"

"Alright!"

As Blaze went back to the dressing room and Amy dug her backpack for her wallet, Sally couldn't help but smile at what she did today. She actually helped someone she teased in the past. Okay, she teased Blaze like, what, two weeks ago. But regardless, Sally is accomplishing her goal bit by bit: do favors for those she has hurt in the past. And so far, helping Blaze finding a cute outfit for tomorrow is one of the biggest ones she has done. The others is spending more time with her family and actually helping out Vanilla with grading papers during her lunch period. Maybe one day, she'll be fully forgiven by everyone that they'll forget that she was friends with Queen Bitch and see her as the sweetheart she was back at Middle School. One day.


~The next day: Twinkle Park (10:58 A.M)~

"Oh my god! I haven't been to Twinkle Park for a long time!" Maria exclaimed to Shadow, looking at the ocean near the pier while tying up the laces of her lime green converse.

"Yeah, me neither," Shadow responded with less enthusiasm than Maria.

Honestly, Shadow didn't want to be here in the first place. When Sonic called him yesterday, Shadow denied the offer at first, but when Maria overheard the conversation (she was at his house for a chemistry project), she politely asked Shadow to go to Twinkle Park, which he said yes because he remembered he had to take Miracle to her friend's party at the roller rink. He had two options: Twinkle Park or the roller rink that's infamous for playing nothing but songs by boy bands and Justin Bieber (and occasionally K-Pop by 2ne1). Yeah, the choice was obvious.

"Oh, come on, Shadz! Try to act a bit more excited," Sonic encouraged his friend/rival, attempting to get on his friends back.

"Yeah, Shadow. At least try a little," Maria added, brushing off a loose strand off of her gray shirt with green lace on the collar.

"Yea..." Shadow dully cheered. "How's that?"

"Two out of ten."

"Great. Now get off of me or I'll throw you to the-" Shadow didn't finish his sentence when he saw Sonic's arms off of his neck and dashing to where Tails and Silver were standing at the bench. "Much better." Shadow smiled as he fixed the sleeve of his red t-shirt

Damn you, Shadow! Sonic screamed in his thoughts.

"Yeah, don't try to piss off Shadow even more, Sonic," Tails advised his older brother figure, tugging the collar of his dark blue plaid shirt.

"Thanks for the helpful advice, Tails," Sonic said to Tails as he slumped down on the bench. "I'll remember that while we're at the park."

"Or for a lifetime," Tails added, checking his watch for the second time. "Hmm... It's already 11. Where could they be?"

"I don't know. Maybe-" Sonic was cut off when his phone started to ring, causing Sonic to pick up the phone to see who it is. He looked at the screen and it was Amy, who sent him a message. He quickly checked the text and it read:

"We'll be there in one minute! Make sure Silver is looking forward." -Ames ;D

Once Sonic finished looking at the message, he turned to see Silver, looking at the people either skiing or on a boat fishing. Hmm... Now how to get Silver to look-

DING DONG!

"Vennie! Come here for a moment!" Sonic called to the ivory-haired teen while he got off of the bench.

Silver stopped his gazing and went to Sonic, asking him, "What is it, Sonic?"

"Your hair seems to be a mess. Let me help you fix it a little bit," Sonic said, ruffling his hands on Silver's hair.

"Hey! Sonic, you're making it look worse than before! Stop it!"

"Nope. It looks awful to me," Sonic said, still ruffling his friend's hair until he turned around to see Amy, Cream, and Blaze coming towards the gang. That's when he finally stopped messing around with Silver's hair.

"Thank god you stopped doing-" Silver paused his sentence when he spotted the last person he wanted to see walking with Amy and Cream. "B...B...BLAZE?!"

"Over here, girls!" Maria called while waving her hands.

The three girls responded back by waving their hands to Maria, Shadow, Tails, and Sonic. Silver can see the three girls coming closer to the gang, which made Silver nervous. No, not because of Amy or Cream, but because of Blaze! What is she doing here anyway?!

Well, no point in hiding now as they finally got to where everyone is. Great...

"Hey guys. Man, you guys look nice," Sonic commented to Amy and Cream.

"Aw, you shouldn't have, Sonic," Amy replied back to her crush.

And Sonic is right, the two girls look nice. Amy is wearing a pink long-sleeved shirt with light pink hearts, denim shorts with red studs on the left pockets, dangling bracelets (one which says 'be true to yourself'), a small red purse, and pale pink canvas sneakers. Cream on the other hand is wearing a blue camisole with red and orange flowers, shorts with a green belt, and light yellow and blue plaid sneakers with blue socks.

"What? No comments on how I look?" Sonic asked, pointing to his outfit: white tank top shirt with an open buttoned dark green shirt, dark pants and his signature Soap shoes.

"Oh, Sonic. You look just fine like always," Amy complemented to Sonic.

"Knew it." Sonic smiled before turning to Silver, fixing his hair and smoothing his black T-shirt with white stars and white capri pants. "Vennie, you want to-"

"WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT BLAZE WAS COMING HERE, SONIC?!" Silver furiously yelled to Sonic, his fists ready to punch him in 'that' area.

"Uh... I wanted to surprise you...?" Sonic replied in a shaky tone.

"Huh?! Explain."

"Basically, we're tired of you avoiding Blaze all this week, so a nice trip to Twinkle Park with us, mainly Blaze, is what you need."

"Really?"

"Yep. And we're going to be in pairs."

"But that means..."

"You'll be with Blaze," Sonic concluded Silver's sentence.

Somebody kill me, Silver thought as he slowly walked to Blaze, looking at him awkwardly. He wished he could be with someone else, but too late. Everybody is paired up. Sonic is with Amy (of course), Shadow is paired with Maria while Cream and Tails are together for this visit. Oh, god...

Wanting to break the weird tension between them, Blaze cleared her throat a little and spoke up, "Uh... hi Silver. You look nice."

Silver wanted to say something, but his response sounded like a whisper when he said, "You look sexy."

"Huh?"

"Uh... Nothing."

...This is going to be a long date, both Silver and Blaze thought as they are going through the entrance.

Yea... A long one indeed. Not just for Silver and Blaze, but for everyone.


Author's Note: Ooh, this is going to be exciting! Honestly, I wanted to write this chapter for a long time since I started this story, and here we are! And this date is going to be split into two or three parts (depends). So, what's going to happen to everyone while they're at Twinkle Park? The rides, the cotton candy, the tunnel of love (Sonic's least favorite ride), and so much more! You'll have to wait until the next chapter of "Gray Flame".

Oh, and before I forget, "Marzipan Sky" and "AZ-USA" belongs to a game called "Style Savvy: Trendsetters" (it's a good and addicting game). Not to mention that the boutique name "Divine Rose" is based on that game as well.

And since this story is over a year old (throws confetti), what do you think of it so far? Who's your favorite character (male and female)? Top seven moments so far? And how would you rate it on a grade scale of 1 to 100 (please be honest).

Anyway, if you liked this chapter, leave a review.

Good-bye and have a beautiful day everybody!
