Chapter 35: Sisterly Love

Meanwhile Topaz was sitting with a few gossipy girls at a lunch table. They conversed about makeup and such, however Topaz had her eyes on Spines the Hedgehog. He wasn't her type, but she felt kinda attracted to him...his manly fur, his jade green eyes, his strong muscles. He was also tall, which she quite admired a lot.

"Mmmm...I want a big boy like him.." she thought seductively. "Besides….it'd be kinda funny to piss off Drake by dating his best friend."

Suddenly the bat's smile frowned as she saw Kristen the fox approaching Spines. The two started to casually talk to one another while Drake went outside for fresh air. "Who does she think she is…" Topaz thought.

"Be right back girls.." Topaz said as she got up to talk to them. Suddenly, she bumped into Alice on accident which angered the chipmunk.

"It's you…." Alice whispered.

"Save it, flat board. Tell your friend not to talk to Spines." Topaz instructed.

"Spines? Oh, you mean my brother?" Alice asked with a smirk.

"W-What….?"

"Look...I don't know why but I'm guessing you wanna date Spines. Anyways, I doubt he's interested in someone like you." Alice said.

"What's wrong with me? Why wouldn't any guy want to be with me?" Topaz defended.

"Well..because you're a bitch." Alice said bluntly. "You go around acting like you're better than people, you insult people's looks like their hair or clothes or even chest."

"That's not true...I only insult your chest." Topaz admitted.

"...Point being, you're a bitch. Maybe if you change, people would like you more...like genuine admiration, not lust." Alice said, before walking away.

"Wait."

"What?"

"You're right…"

"...About?"

"That I am a bitch!" she yelled.

"Well it took you long enough." Alice said with a chuckle, but stopped when Topaz glared slightly at her.

"Truth is...I wasn't always like that...I tease because….I used to be teased for my chest…" the bat admitted.

"Wait huh? But your chest is….nice." Alice said with a blush.

"I know..but I used to be flat. You see when I was fourteen, girls started to develop their chests while I was flat…"

"Hold on..you mean you tell me you were once flat?" Alice asked.

"I wasn't born with boobs, idiot!" Topaz snapped. "But..I remember when I ran home crying..my sister Maria was there and she comforted me…"

Flashback….

Young Topaz cried in her bed after running out of the school after the mean comments about her breasts. The bat was called "Board" or "Ugly" and was told that she'd never get a boyfriend with a flat chest by her peers. While Topaz was a beautiful young teen, she was often quite bullied a lot making her self esteem drop.

"Topaz?" a voice called out. Topaz lift her head and saw Maria the Hedgehog, a white hedgehog with beautiful teal eyes with her mother and red stripes on her quills like her father. Her skin was tanned and her features were gentle, she also inherited her mother's "attributes"

"Don't look at me!" Topaz cried out,. The hedgehog walked up to her and hugged her sister tightly.

"What's wrong?" Marie asked.

"It's those kids at school...they keep making fun of my chest…" Topaz replied sadly. "Why can't I have boobs?!"

"Topaz, you're still young…" Maria whispered "Those kids don't know what they're talking about.."

"But most girls already have breasts.."

"Everyone develops at different rates...for example, right now may not be your time to develop breasts...but breasts or no breasts, you are still beautiful." Maria explained.

"No I'm not…" Topaz groaned.

"Of course you are!" Maria cheered. "You have a wonderful smile, you know how to do your hair nicely, you dress well! And I wanna see that wonderful smile…"

Topaz shyly looked up at her sister, giving a soft and friendly smile. Maria returned the smile and the two sisters hugged each other.

"Thanks Maria...please don't leave for college!" Topaz begged.

"It's already been paid for." Maria explained. "I will miss you a lot...but when you visit I'll be happy to show you around Station Square." she added.

"Thanks sis...I love you…" Topaz whispered with tears in her eyes.

"I love you too…"

End of Flashback….

"Maria did leave for college and I was broken...but my breasts developed a lot for a girl my age which was crazy..but I ended up using it to my advantage." Topaz explained.

"Dang...I'm sorry about your sister...and being teased…" Alice said.

"It's fine." Topaz giggled. "You know..you're not really bad, princess. I misjudged you."

"Same for you.." Alice said. "Maybe we could..hang out with one another."

"Like..how about now?" Topaz asked.

"Sure, but weren't you just eating with your friends?" Alice asked.

"Ohhh they're not my friends, they're just followers. I'm sick of them." Topaz replied. Alice rolled her eyes, but the two chuckled and smiled at each other before leaving the lunchroom to walk to class.
