Chapter 37: Unknown Plans
Shade slowly sat up, his eyes burning from the light leaking in from the window. He shook his head before getting up and walking to his dresser. He was in his boxers and a tee so he needed to change. He slid on some jeans, a fresh black tee, and his black hoodie. He turned when he heard yawning from behind him. Amy was sitting up, rubbing her eyes in exhaustion. "Arceus, I got nowhere near a good night's sleep from all that shit last night." Shade chuckled before walking over to her and helping her up. Amy looked down. "What's the matter?" Shade asked her. "We have school today, and I just don't want to go today." Amy slumped back into Shade's bed, draping the blankets over herself. Shade thought of an idea. "We could go to school today or…" Amy sat up in interest. "Or, we could not!" Shade grinned when Amy giggled. "You mean, ditch?" "Why not?" "I don't know…" Amy looked out of the window. Shade sat next to her. "I'm not forcing you, but wouldn't you prefer a nice relaxing day, instead of long, boring, depressing…" "Alright alright! You got me, I'm in." Shade laughed. "I knew I could convince you." They both stood up. "Where will we go?" Shade shrugged. "I dunno, arcade, pizza place, movies?" Amy shrugged. "Movies sound nice." "Alright, so it's a date. Come on, let's get you dressed." Amy was still in a nightgown. Shade helped her off the bed once more, before walking her to her room.
Meanwhile…
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NOT, READY?" Jolt screamed at a scientist, holding him by his neck. Jolt had grown a lot due to the fact that he plugged himself into the super soldier machine everyday to become stronger. "J-Jolt, the robots would fizz out if we sent them now…" The scientist wheezed as Jolt's grip on his neck grew tighter. "SHOW THEM TO ME ANYWAYS!" Jolt launched the scientist into a table, smashing it in half. The scientist stumbled to his feet before he rushed to a small control panel. He typed in a few codes and a big white tube next to him opened up. Out from it, poured thick, white smoke. Then, a sleek robot stepped out. The robot was white carbon plated, with a skinny, maneuverable figure, and a small blue light up circle in the center of where a face should be. On its back was a katana. Jolt grinned. "Perfect…" The robot stepped forward and stood in front of Jolt. He examined it. "What is its combat efficiency?" Jolt turned to the scientist. "Against Shade… forty percent." Jolt smashed the scientist's face into the monitor. "NOT GOOD ENOUGH! STEVENS!" A nervous infernape rushed to Jolt's side. "Y-Yes sir?" "Have the robot's combat efficiency upped, or you'll end up like him…" Jolt gestured to the dead scientist whose face was in the monitor. "Y-Yes sir…"
One and a half hours later…
Shade and Amy emerged from a cinema laughing hard. "That was hilarious!" Amy said in between laughs. "Yeah, and then there was that part where the guy hit his nuts on the fire extinguisher, priceless!" They both walked down the sidewalk after minutes of laughing. "Where are we going now?" Amy asked Shade, her face red from laughing so hard. "I figured we go to the arcade next." "Sounds like a plan." They walked hand in hand until they reached a big black building. Shade held open the door. "Ladies first." He said in a fake sophisticated tone. "My my, what a gentleman." Amy giggled as she entered the building.
10 minutes later…
Shade and Amy stood hunched over metal bars connecting to a dance game machine. "Wow Shade…" Amy panted. "I didn't know you could dance like that…" "Yeah, me neither…" Amy laughed before playfully nudging him on the shoulder. They smiled at each other in bliss. "What now?" "How about the bumper car thing over there?" Shade pointed to a giant tent covering a metal floor with bumper cars on it. "Sounds like fun." They both rushed over to it and stood in line. Shade stared at Amy who jumped with excitement. He would do anything for her. He then got an idea. He was gonna plan out the entire day, full of things for just them to do. He wanted her to know how much he cared. He got lost deep in thought before Amy snapped him out of it. "Shade, it's our turn come on." She pulled him into the tent; they both sat in a red, flamed bumper car. They slid on their seatbelts and Shade took firm grip of the wheel. "Try not to crash too much if you can help it Shade." Amy joked. "No promises." And with that, they took off, immediately slamming into some blue bumper car in front of them.
Meanwhile…. (Again)
"Stevens! How is the progress?" Jolt demanded. The infernape chuckled. "Sir, these robots now have a two hundred and forty five percent increase in combat effectiveness. Shade won't know what hit him." "Good work Stevens, I ought to promote you." "Sir?" "But, I won't."Jolt walked away laughing to himself, at the joke he made and the fact that he knew Shade would be killed with this new invention.
An hour later…
Shade and Amy sat in a pizza parlor, eating pepperoni slices together. They were laughing at jokes. "Ah… Shade, this so far is the best day ever." Shade chuckled. "If you like it now, then wait till you see what I've got planned for you later." Amy smiled excitedly. "Oh, Oh! Tell me, Pleeeease…!" Shade shook his head while grinning in satisfaction. "Nope, it's a surprise." Amy put on a fake pouty face. "Aww… you're no fun." She joked. Shade leaned in and whispered in her ear. "No fun huh, well… I'll just have to prove you wrong." Shade sunk back into his seat as Amy blushed. "Oh… Now I definitely can't wait." After they ate the pizza, they both left a five dollar tip on the table and left. They both walked down the sidewalk, Shade grinning to himself. "Not even a hint?" Amy begged like a lost lillipup would beg for food. Shade shook his head and kept smiling. Amy crossed her arms while walking. "Ok, I give up." "Good, because I wasn't gonna tell you anyways." They both laughed as they walked down the sidewalk. "Well… could you do me a favor then?" "Anything." Amy hopped onto Shade's back, taking him by surprise, and wrapping her arms around him. "Good, because my feet are tired." Amy giggled. "Well we wouldn't want that now would we? But get ready, because then, you're going at my pace." "Well how fast is your…" Shade dashed forward, sprinting down the street, Amy laughing as she clung onto his back, her fur blowing in the wind. "Shade!" She laughed more. "Today's gonna be the perfect day." Shade thought to himself while running with Amy.
