A/N: Ya wanna know why I named this chapter Security Hall? Well, if you have the Sonic Adventure 2: Battle CD or if you own the game, then you should already know that the song title for Rouge's Level, Security Hall is "I'm a Spy," which is exactly what Melody will be doing this chapter. I didn't want to type, "I'm a Spy." How creative is that? Not very. And since I'm listening to 200% no Jumon from Tottoko: Hamutaro, expect things to be crazy! This is in Melody's point of view. Go to http://www.planetdreamcast.com/sonic/sonic/2/sa2.html and you can download different kinds of Sonic songs, and not just SA2. The song, "I'm a Spy" will work best for this chapter. Click on Soundtrack Disk 2 and find "I'm a Spy… for Security Hall." You will then be taken to the Spy Planet thingy, and scroll down until you see two "download" buttons one on top of another, and since those are free servers, click on one of the buttons, and you can figure the rest from there.

         Ruki: itai koto, ooh, ooh, ooh, nandemo ieru tesuto de hyaku ten torechau…

         Pika 2: You're sure obsessed with this song.

         Ruki: I need the lyrics for the whole song, otherwise I can't sing it, they only have the TV sized ones. Terune idoma maruchibi dapaan ushiko hamutora bonchanri buruga tarohamu furaama shootai ganeme ponotsu gariton...Ninjin datte, ooh, ooh, ooh…*later*Tottoko hamuhamu Tottoko mohimohi koredekimattaze!

         Pika 2: *sweatdrop*

         Ruki: I'm also sorry for not updating so soon; I have writer's block (blech) and a science project and it's pretty big… so to speed things up, give me some a suggestions- I plan to finish all my fanfictions waiting to be completed so I can make and post the pending ones. Domo Arigatou gozaimasu! And I'm so sorry it's short, damn it!

         So this is where Ruki is. I rubbed my hands together. This was gonna be fun! I wrote down her address, and ran back home. Once I got back, I started thinking. He likes Ruki? Who'd want to like a rough girl? I mean, they're not guys' style, I can tell you that! Or does she have some quality I'll never have? I pushed that thought aside as I entered my room. I packed some spy stuff that still works. I marched back out without anyone noticing me. My mom caught me, but I told her that I was going to Ryo's house to play video games with him. Since she thinks I never lie, she accepted and let me go. My curfew was 8:00 pm: dinnertime. I ran out like a roadrunner, and back to the front of Ruki's house.

         I climbed on the same tree and took out my binoculars. I could see Ruki talking to a strange yellow fox that's standing on her hind legs. Freaky, that looks like the fox on one of Ryo-Sama's cards…Oh, well. I then heard some shouting. It was the noise of Ryo and Ruki. I turned on the sound enhancer I bought and listened.

         "Just shut up, I don't need your help on my homework!" That was Ruki shouting.

         "Well, sorry! Geez, can't a guy just say sorry to someone he loves?!?" Ryo-Sama shouted angrily. This wasn't like him to be angry. And he really does love her. What should I do?

         "You? Love me? Yeah, right; and pigs fly, Ryo!"

         Ryo had his trademark smirk. "Well, I think I just saw one in the Digital World."

         "You're infuriating!"

         "Well, I know you are, but what am I?"

         She growled and slammed the door. I heard Ryo step out into the backyard. He was pacing back and forth for some strange and twisted reason.

         "What am I going to get her? Her birthday is coming soon, not to mention tomorrow is Valentine's Day! Aw, man…"

         Then it really hit me. It hit me so hard I fell off the tree I was in. I screamed my head off as I fell. Thud! Ow…I fell butt first, and the nearest tree has nothing but like a little grass and a lot of concrete was surrounded by it. "Ittatatatata…"

         Ryo heard the scream. I can tell, because I heard footsteps coming towards me. I quickly jumped back up the tree and hid myself the best I could. He looked around. "I could've sworn I heard a girl's scream around here…" and he left.

         I think I felt a sweatdrop fall on my head, because that was a close one!

         I jumped down from the tree and looked at the direction Ryo-Sama went. So her birthday's coming soon, and Valentine's Day is soon, huh? I ran to my house and gave a phone call to Ryo.

         He picked up the phone. "Hello?"

         "Ah! Ryo-Sama, I'm just wondering…What do you want for your birthday? And what do you want for tomorrow?"

         "M-Melody, why are you asking me, I mean, after all, my birthday is at least 5 months away. Shouldn't you ask me in about 3 and a half months from now?"

         "No, I need to know right now!"
         "Why?"

         Aw, damn, I'm stuck looking for a good alibi! Shit, shit, shit, shit!

         "Um, hello? Melody-Chan?" Ryo-Sama asked through the phone.

         I quickly straightened myself up. "Um…" Think, think, and think, baka kiba! *Gasp* "So I can decide how big your present will be, and what the cost will be."

         "Um, I really like sweets, and for my birthday, um…I wouldn't mind to just go to an amusement park. Nothing special, I know, but I just want to relax, and maybe I should just make a party for the tamers and I, but…"
         "But what?"

         "Um, nothing, really! So I'll see you tomorrow?"
         "Uh, sure! Ja."

         "Ne." And both of us hung up.

         I walked over to my couch, and slouched. So he likes sweets? Maybe I can pull Ruki into a competition by giving him some sweets…But then again, little did I know someone else was listening to our conversation…
