This is my Slate X Ana chapter, but I gave it an actual name so I put Slate X Ana in brackets. I hope you like it. Anyway, on with the story!
Ana awoke and got dressed then left her room and woke Slate up, and went to the dining room. Nothing seemed to change between the two, even though Ana had admitted that she loved Slate. She began to wonder if she had taken him too soon and he hadn't heard him admit that she loved him. But Slate was to nervous about thinking about him and Princess Ana together, so he simply acted like he never heard what she said.
"Goodnight." Ana said to Slate. "Goodnight Ana." Slate replied as Ana walked into her room. "And I'm sorry I've been lying to you." Slate said as he walked into his room.
The next day.
Ana had been silently crying the entire night, and had gotten no sleep because of it. Not that it was abnormal anymore. It had become daily routine for her. But this time was different. She woke up coughing madly and her temperature was lower then usual (she has a really high body temperature so when she has a fever her body temperature goes down instead of up). "Are you alright Ana?" Slate asked, since her coughing had woken him up and he was now worried. "Get...Tails..." She managed to say between coughs. "Right." Slate said, running down the hall to get Tails.
What's happening to me? Ana wondered as she continued to cough. She was coughing so much she could hardly breathe. Tails came rushing into her room, her parents and friends close behind. "She must have a backward fever of some kind." Tails said. "Yes, when Blaze, Lavender or Ana get a fever their body temperature drops instead of rises. If their body temperature reaches the same as ours they will die." Silver explained. "But because of that we can't get fevers as easily as everyone else. The only way for us to get a fever is if we're deeply depressed." Blaze said. "But what could make her so depressed?" Sonic asked. "I don't know." Blaze said sadly. Slate felt like he was going to throw up. It was his fault, and he knew it. "We have to get her into the Heating Chamber, quickly!" Tails yelled. "Let me do it." Sonic said. Everyone looked at Silver and Blaze, who nodded their heads. Sonic gently picked up Ana and held her bridal style. "So cold." Ana said as she shivered in Sonic's arms. Then he zipped out of the room, everyone running to catch up.
Sonic reached the Heating Chamber and gently placed Ana on the floor in the chamber then ran out. "Everything is ready." Sonic said as Tails and the others entered the room. Tails ran up to the control panel and began to type. "Time to heat Ana back to her usual temperature." Tails said. "So cold." Ana murmured as she continued to shake. "Don't worry Ana; you'll be warm again soon." Tails said into the microphone. The Heating Chamber began to heat up and slowly Ana stopped shivering. "Warmth." Ana said, curling into a ball.
"It looks like she's feeling better." Tails said with a sigh. "When will her fever go away?" Sonic asked. "When the depression does." Blaze answered simply. "We had better leave her alone for now." Tails said as he and the others left the room, however Slate did not go. "Ana?" Slate asked into the microphone. "Slate?" Ana asked as she unrolled from her ball. "Yeah, it's me." Slate answered.
"Do you know what is happening to you Princess?" Slate asked as everyone stared at him. Ana looked strait up. "Yes, I am dieing." Ana said simply. Everyone gasped as Ana began to smile. "Then why do you not cry Princess?" Slate asked. "Because, I have found someone...I am willing to give...my life for." Ana said as she winced in pain again.
She was admitting that she loved me and all I've done since is ignore that fact. Slate thought sadly. Did you mean what you said Ana?" Slate asked suddenly. Ana gasped slightly then looked at him, a smile on her face. "Of course I did." Ana said with a smile. "I feel...the same way." Slate said as a smile grew on his face. Ana's smile grew bigger, tears of joy streamed down her face. "I have to get training, but I'll be right here when Tails lets you out." Slate said as he walked out of the room. "Thank you Slate." Ana said happily as she drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
Later that day.
"It looks to me like her fever is gone." Tails said as he looked at her scans. "So she can come out?" Slate asked. "That's right." Tails said as he turned off the heat inside the Heating Chamber and unlocked the door. "You can open the door now Ana, it's unlocked." Tails said into the microphone. Ana rushed quickly to the door and opened it as fast as she could. As soon as the door was open she ran into Slate's arms. Tails had to stop himself from laughing, since he had figured out the reason Ana was depressed far earlier that day. "I'll be leaving." Tails said as he walked out of the room.
Ana and Slate slowly began to kiss. Sonic opened the door and walked in quietly. He saw Ana and Slate kissing and walked right back out the door, closing it silently. When is someone going to teach Sonic to knock?! Ana yelled in her head.
Now I know someone needs to teach Sonic how to knock. Oh well, I hope you liked it. Bye.
