Oh my, God, I apologize for such a long break in the story! I just
kinda put the story off and forgot about it, but I know that you people
hate that, so I am going to get the story back on its feet again. It was
terrible of me to leave you all in such agony over it. So, I finally give
you patient readers, Chapter 6!
(P.S.: Only Laki belongs to me, and the setup of the story. All other characters belong to the Sonic Team and Sega. (PSST! If the Sonic Team wants to use Laki, they may!) I can dream, can't I?) ________________________________________________________________________
Chapter 6: Late Night Fright
As of last time, our groupies, know as the Sonic Team, were just starting to chow down on a very common dessert, popular among the young and old. Everyone was laughing and having a good time. But Laki, was still worried about the same thing she had been all day. And no amount of frozen delight could freeze her fears over. And the sweetness to her, was only bittersweetness. But as night approaches, sleep must come... ...but will it?
~~Current Location: Outside of Tail's Shop at the Mystic Ruins~~ ~~Current Time: Past Sunset, August~~
"Well, I'd say that I had plenty of ice-cream by now... And to keep my beautiful figure, I think that I'd better go do a bit of running," Rouge comments.
"Oh, Rouge... Now you've done it! Now I feel guilty about eating!" Amy complains.
"I must say, women sure worry about their looks too much," Sonic remarks, while gulping down his ice-cream cone.
Rouge and Amy glare at Sonic.
"Laki, I find it disturbing that you aren't offended by this comment," Rouge scolds while looking in Laki's direction.
"(Jerks her head up) Huh? Oh, uh, yeah. Sonic, that is mean of you," Laki says, and looks back at the horizon.
"Well, if it bothers you that much, I have a work-out station in my shop. You can even do Pilates!" Tails offers.
"REALLY!?!?" Rouge exclaims.
"What's Pilates? Is it some kind of drink?" Cream asks, confused.
Amy falls on her back laughing, while Rouge stands in shock.
"Calm down, we don't have time to be concerned with our figures, we should really be getting to sleep," Shadow says.
"Yes, I would have to agree," Laki says, as she stands up.
"Common you guys, help me put Sweet Tooth 001 away, and then I'll direct you to the sleeping chambers," Tails announces.
"Tails, this isn't the Renaissance, speak in the present century," Amy comments.
Ignoring Amy's remark, Tails pulls his robot back into the garage, and leads the whole group into his mansion-like house/workshop. Like it usually would be done, he directs Amy, Rouge, Laki, and Cream into one area, and Sonic and Shadow into another. However, this is where the fun begins!
~~Time Elapse: 1.5 hours~~ ~~In Sonic and Shadow's room~~
"Good-night Shads," Sonic bids.
"Same to you," Shadow responds, and crosses his arms and almost instantly falls asleep, in almost a too orderly fashion.
As soon as Sonic hears Shadow breathing consistently, he slowly slides out of his bed and puts his shoes on.
"Hehe, and I hope I see someone ELSE in the morning!" Sonic mutters under his breath, and quietly exits the room.
Once he reaches the end of the hallway for the men's dormitories (No, this is Tail's home, not a boarding school!), he makes a left turn.
~~Meanwhile in Cream and Amy's room~~
"I ate too much or not enough ice-cream. Either way, I shall sleep well tonight. How about you, Amy?" Cream asks.
"Don't remind me, I hate eating AND thinking about it, as in, doing those two things at the same time," Amy says.
"Oh well, we are going to have such fun saving Knuckles, and keeping world peace, and flying around with my ears, and driving in..." (Cream is interrupted.)
"Just go to sleep, Cream," Amy almost yells.
"Oh, so sorry. Well then, good night, Amy!" Cream bids.
Amy waits for Cream to fall asleep, and then realizes why she hasn't.
"Oh fine, good night to you, too. (She thinks) Sorry about being rude, we are friends, we shouldn't do that,"
"It's ok, I forgive you, Amy. G'night!" (Cream falls asleep intantaniously)
"Wow," Amy whispers, "I thought she'd never go to sleep,"
Amy also quietly puts her boots on, and heads for the bedroom door. Once she leaves the room, and reaches the end of the women's dormitory hallway, she makes a right turn.
~~And in Rouge and Laki's room~~
"Wow, who would have thought that Laki would fall asleep so easily? The poor gal. Worried sick about her father. But I have no time to think about that, as my true passion is awaiting me elsewhere. Oh, that big hunk of red-fur, here I come!" Rouge says gleefully, and also heads for her door, thinking that she will go to Angel Island while no one else will notice she is gone. But, notice that I said THINKING...
~~Back in Sonic and Shadow's room~~
"It seems that Sonic has left, perhaps for the bathroom, or perhaps not. But I feel a greater attention needed. As my loins you might say, are demanding it. I shall take leave of this confined room, to seek out who I desire," Shadow says, and also exits the room.
~~Back in the women's dormitory hallway~~
"(while running) Argh, what a time for nature's doing to call me! Grr, where's that bathroom?!?" Rouge shrieks.
~~In another hallway~~
"Hmm, I seem to be lost... Oh well, I'm sure that I'll find the room that I am looking for sooner or later," Sonic sighs.
~~In the men's dormitory hallway~~
"I wonder which one of these rooms my beloved Sonic is in? (Amy thinks) Maybe I'll just wait and see if Sonic comes out of one of them to use the bathroom. He ALWAYS has to at night. And if I'm not mistaken, he should have to right about..."
~~Back to Sonic~~
"Oh no! Not now, please not now! Gosh darn it, now I have to go find a bathroom," Sonic mutters.
~~Back to Amy~~
"Geez, why'd I have to say that? Now I have to go. There's a bathroom over there, I'm heading there, and I don't care which gender of bathroom it happens to be!" Amy says, as she angrily heads towards the bathroom.
~~Outside of the women's dormitory bathroom~~
"After all that running, I haven't the slightest bit of energy left, (Rouge yawns), I best be heading back to the room, only, where is my room?" Rouge says, as she heads off down a different hallway.
~~In a far out hallway~~
"I can't see anything in this darkness. I believe that I am lost. I should try to head back to my room," Shadow comments.
~~Back to Sonic~~
"Here is the bathroom! Oh god, I can tell its gonna last awhile..." Sonic remarks.
~~Back in Laki's room~~
"I can't sleep anymore, just thinking about my dad. Maybe I'll go for a walk," Laki says.
"On second thoughts, someone might see me. I think I'll just open the window and climb out," (and she does just that)
~~Back to Rouge~~
"Well, here is the dormitory! I'd better go in quietly, or Laki will wake up,"
Rouge enters the room.
"She's gone? She must have also headed for the bathroom. Well, I'm not about to let it bug me. I am too tired," Rouge collapses on a bed and falls asleep,"
~~Back to Shadow~~
"I think this is my room, "(Shadow quietly cracks open the door)
"Hmm, Sonic hasn't returned yet. Well, I'll just go to sleep then,"
Shadow goes back to sleep on one of the beds
~~Outside of the women's dormitory bathroom again~~
"I can't believe that there weren't any urinals in that bathroom! Well, I know that I'm in the women's dormitory then, that's for sure!" Sonic says as he gets a big grin on his face.
"Is she in this room? (Sonic opens the door) Nope, just Cream. (He closes it.) How about this one? (He opens the other door) There she is! My wonderful, wonderful idol of admiration! I'll just quietly get in with her, too bad that it is so dark and I can hardly see a thing,"
~~Back to Amy, who also has just finished nature's call~~
"Grr, where is that Sonic?! I am so fumed, why wasn't he in the bathroom? GAH I don't really care anymore! I'm so mad! I just wanna go to bed. I'll go into this room and sleep. Who knows? Maybe I'll find Sonic..." Amy says.
She enters the room.
"Ah ha! Oops... I'd better not get too loud, he might wake up. Here I come Sonic!," Amy says as she goes into the bed with the other silent sleeper and falls asleep herself.
~~Back to Cream's room~~
"Amy...?" Cream says, shivering, "Where are you? I'm kinda scared!"
"Oh, I don't like this! Where is the light switch!?!" Cream cries.
She finds it, and flips it on.
"There, now it isn't so bad. But where did she go? I'd better go find her.
Cream exits her room, and heads down the hallway. Only instead of turning, she goes straight.
~~Back to Sonic~~
Sonic wraps his arms around his bedmate.
~~Back to Amy~~
She does the same.
~~Back to Shadow~~
For some reason, he returns the embrace to his embracer.
~~Back to Rouge~~
And it is the same here. ~~In Tail's room~~
"TAILS!! WAKE UP!!" Cream shouts in Tail's face.
"Whu..huh?" Tails murmurs.
"Rouge is missing!" Cream yells.
"I'm sure that she's just in the bathroom or something, go back to your room," Tails says.
"But! (Cream realizes that Tails has gone back to sleep) Oh, alright, if you say so..."
"By the way, (Tails gets up wondering), how did you manage to see your way here? It is inky dark in the hallways at night, you know,"
"Oh, I have my trusty flashlight along with me!" Cream proudly presents it before Tails.
"Oh, I see. But go back to bed now, I'm tired," Tails immediately returns to his sleep.
"Good night Tails!" Cream bids him, and heads back to her room.
~~Back in Cream's room~~
"Sigh, Rouge is still not back yet. Maybe she won't be, she must drinking her Pilates or something, if only I knew," Cream sighs again.
"Well, good-night to myself!" Cream bids to herself, and goes back to sleep.
It is very late now, and everyone is soundly sleeping. But, why have Rouge, Amy, Shadow, and Sonic all left their rooms? And who are they sleeping with? Amy seems to be sleeping with Sonic, but that's all we know. Or is she? Find out in Chapter 7, which I plan to name, "Morning Mournings." ________________________________________________________________________
How did you like Chapter 6? I made it a little more interesting this time, as an apology for the lack of updating the story. Please, be sure to review! And if possible, make your review a signed review so that I may know who you are. PS: I got this idea from a show I saw once, I just really revamped it. Anyhow, I should be working on the next chapter soon, as I don't want to drop the story again. Thank you so much for reading! ^_^
