All's fair in love and war
Disclaimer : I don't own Sonic or other characters I may use. I do own a gamecube. Sonic: What does that have to do with anything? Beats me.
In the previous chapter, we found out that Rouge, whatever it is she's doing, doesn't look like she has a choice. Tails is getting suspicious of the whole thing. And Sonic is having mixed feelings about the recent events and, more importantly, about Rouge.
Sonic managed to brush off the whole thing as a misunderstandment by bribing Tails with a breakfast, but he knew it was gonna be hard to dissuade Tails from the truth. When he got back, all he wanted to do was have a talk with Rouge. He saw that Rouge had helped herself to a bowl of cereal.
" Rouge, can I talk to you for a second?" he said in a very serious tone.
"Sure." She said with an innocent smile.
He sighed as tried to find just the right words to begin a conversation with.
" Well, I wanted to talk to you about last night."
" Yes?" she said still smiling.
" You see, the thing is. well. I'd like to know what you were doing in my bed." He said finally finding enough courage to ask.
" Well, I had a terrible nightmare and I thought you wouldn't mind my company. I didn't bother you, did I?" she said, still being innocent.
" Oh no. Of course not."
"Ok. Say, how's tonight sound?"
" Huh?"
" Don't you remember? I told you that I would take you out to dinner in return for your hospitabilaty. Ok for tonight?"
" Ok, I think."
" Good. You can come pick me up at seven o' clock. Well I think I should be going now."
" Ok, See you tonight."
Sonic spent nearly the rest of the day thinking about it all. About the dinner, about her being jobless, about eveything, but mostly, and more importantly, about her. About that dream and what it could mean. That maybe, just maybe, he could like Rouge as more than just a friend. He shook away that thought. For now. He got brought back to reality by his phone ringing.
" Hello? Who is this?"
And an all too familiar voice replied to him.
" Hi Sonic! Its me, Amy. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind going out on a date with me tonight."
" Oh boy. What can I tell her? If I say no she'll just insist. I can't say yes otherwise I'll have to ditch Rouge. If I say I'm occupied, she'll ask what I'm doing. And I wouldn't lie to her. would I?" Sonic's mind raced as he tried to think of something.
" Sonic, are you still there? Hello?"
" Yeah Amy I'm right here. Um, I can't tonight because."
" Oh that's right! Tuesday is always card night. Well, sorry to have bothered you. Bye!"
"Card night !? Damn, I forgot! Now what am I supposed to say to the guys."
And, as on cue, the phone rang again.
" Hello?"
" Hey Sonic, I called to tell you that I won't be able to bring the dip tonight."
" Sorry Tails, no can do. Tonight's card night is off."
" But, Sonic, we always have a card night tuesday night."
" I know, but something came up and I can't be here tonight."
" Well, what do I say to Knuckles then?"
" I dunno. Tell him to forget about it I guess."
" All right then. Bye."
Sonic sighed. It's not like he wanted to keep it a secret. Its just that he thought his friends might get the wrong idea, especially Amy.
So, what did you think? I hope it was good. Please review. Next chapter won't take as long as this one to appear.
