Day 54: Thursday
A/N: I really do hope school does not get in the way of me finishing this because after this chapter is posted I will have 15 chapters left to write.
Shadow's POV
Sitting up, I stretched from sleeping on the floor. I still don't understand how she caught me off guard, and I feel like the emerald is finished. Getting up, I walked to the lab to find it locked and the only way to open it was a handprint. I honestly hate it when she does this; walking back into her room I poked her earning a series of shifting. Leaning towards her ear, I yelled, "Woman, wake up!"
Snapping her eyes open, she glared at me and later tackled me to the floor, uttering, "What now, Shadow?"
And here I thought she'd be mad, deciding to tease her a bit, I answered, "You're cute when you're angry, Female. Also, I need you to unlock the lab door; I want to check on the emerald."
Standing up, she retorted "Well, I guess I'll be pretty freakin' adorable when I'm furious. I'll check on it myself y'all needn't worry about it."
"Alright, if you say so…Tails, where are you?" I asked walking out of the room. I stopped and looked at the lab's door; walking over to it I mentally slapped myself as I grab the handle and lightly tug on it. Stepping inside, I nearly walked right into her when she turned around.
Looking up at me, she said "I thought you were going to get Tails."
"I was, but I didn't want to bother him in case he was doing something important." I replied, glancing behind me.
"Sure, look I just need to run a few tests on the emerald, see if it's workin' properly, that stuff. Now, if you would be so kind as to leave me to my work." She stated pushing me out the door.
Glancing at Calvin hearing what he thought concerning Sandy, I thought, 'I'm not going to punch him in the face. I am not going to punch him in the face.'
Unfortunately, my attempt in restraint didn't work seeing he's holding his nose. Not sure if I should question my temper or not, but punching him in the face did help a bit. Walking outside, I decided it would be best if I waited out until Sandy started yelling at me, more importantly so her mother wouldn't yell at both of us. Standing in front of me, she glared at me before punching me in the face, asking, "Can't you go one day without tryin' to hurt him?"
"Not exactly, if you heard what he thought, then I'm sure you'd want to punch him in face too. Or go the mile and beat him." I retorted now pressing my hand into the bark.
Crossing her arms, she huffed and jumped lightly at the fake pin I gave her landing on the ground.
"Like I said you look nice with your hair down, I gave you a fake pin. I wasn't sure when it would pop." I said with a light grin.
Stepping towards me, she replied "I don't care, I don't like my hair down for specific reasons, now give it back, Shadow."
Leaving little space between us, I shook my head. She frowned and darted her hand in my left pocket pulling out the pin. Thank God she didn't feel the ring, either I put the ring in my other pocket or she didn't feel the soft fabric of the box.
"Shadow, you alright?" she asked snapping me out of slight anxiety.
Looking down, I replied "Yeah, I'm fine. Want to go somewhere tomorrow?"
Tilting her head to the side, she smiled lightly, replying, "Sure, I'd love to."
I nodded while she went inside, noticing my handprint in the bark, I grimaced lightly seeing it wouldn't come out even if I did smooth it out. "You really are trying, aren't you?" Vector said nearly startling me.
"All I did was ask her if she'd like to go somewhere tomorrow, nothing special." I replied ignoring how I didn't catch his presence.
He chuckled, saying "That sounds like a date to me, good luck. Don't die."
Scoffing, I went inside after him. It's not that odd to imply she might kill me, but she wouldn't do it deliberately or at all for that matter. Slipping in next to her, I ended up holding her seeing she was shivering and turning.
A/N: It sort of seems like I'm updating later than I used to. Anyway, I sort of have an idea for the date, but I may or may not have to do a bit of research. Review please.
