Here we are! It's chapter 7 people! Lalala... I'm kinda lost in my
thoughts and brainless at the same time right now, so bare with me.
Anyhow, I think that you'll enjoy this almost TOO intimate chapter. (Don't
worry, fluff is miniscule.) However, be prepared for much cold feelings.
And mild, non-animated violence. This chapter will probably change the
meaning of the story. But not too much. Enjoy!
And again, I feel that I should mention, I do not own any of the Sonic Characters. But Laki is mine, and Sega's too, if they wish to have her. ________________________________________________________________________
Chapter 7: Morning Mournings
We last left our characters all snug in their beds... with each other. Together, in a peaceful intimate slumber. Why did they leave their warm beds for each others? Who is the other person in the bed with each of them? And is Laki coming back? All of these and more are about to be answered...
~~Current Location: Tail's Kitchen~~ ~~Current Time: Morning, Late August~~
"(YAWN) Nothing like a good-nights sleep! And waking up at 8 am just in time to meet the day!" Tails says.
"Good morning, Tails!" Cream announces, out of no where.
"EEEK!" screams Tails, as he stumbles and falls on his back.
"Are you all right, Tails?" Cream asks.
"Yes, yes, I'll be fine. Just DON'T ever do the again, you'll end up killing someone one of these days!" Tails lectures.
"I'm sorry, but, I'm hungry. Can I have more ice-cream?" Cream questions.
"Uh, no, but you can have some Coco Cheerios, or Fruity Puffs!" Tails says, holding out the cereal.
"Ooh, how about some pancakes!" the cute rabbit begs.
"What? Oh, fine..." Tails responds, almost irritated.
"I'll also put on some tea," Tails says.
"Tails, why is no one else awake?" Cream asks Tails.
"I honestly do not know. Maybe they were up all night, or something... But it is none of our business. (Tails then opens a box of Penelope's Pancake Mix)"
"It really makes me wonder... Why do people sleep in so much? Don't they know that it is bad for your fur?" Cream wonders.
"Uh, sure, they don't know that I guess," says Tails sarcastically.
Meanwhile, in the sleeping dormitories, four of our heroes are contently slumbering the morning away. They dream of their dream-mate that they are sleeping with. But these dreams are about to shatter into thousands of little pieces...
~~Where Sonic is sleeping~~
"Oh, I just can't believe that my dreams are coming true!" Sonic says, while drooling in his sleep.
~~Where Amy is sleeping~~
"This bed is our dreamboat, and you are my dreamBOY," Amy says, in her sleep, while cuddling her bedmate.
~~Where Shadow is sleeping~~
"You light up my life, you give me hope... If you wannabe my lova... ...which you are... ...I need some love like I neva needed love, before..." Shadow croons in his sleep.
~~Where Rouge is sleeping~~
"Is that you, Knuckles?" Rouge asks as she is about to wake up.
~~Back to Tail's Kitchen~~
"OH MY GOD!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!! (Simultaneous blood curdling screams)" cries of horror coming from the dormitories.
Both Tails and Cream jump up from their chairs, spilling coffee/tea all over themselves, each other, and the floor.
"Whu, what was that, Tails? Is your house.. h, huh, haunted!?!??!" Cream asks very nervously.
"No, Cream. That was only the scream of..." Tails is interrupted.
"(Amy begins to sob) Oh, why did I do it, why did I do it, why did I do it..." Amy moans.
"I THOUGHT that I was sleeping alone last night, but then you came in and ruined me!!!" Rouge screams in Amy's face.
"I didn't mean to! Honestly! (crying) Please, just don't tell anyone!" Amy sobs even more.
"Well, by golly, I'd better just keep an eye out for pink fur before I go to bed from now on!" Rouge scolds.
"Calm down, you two. There is no point in getting mad at each oth..." Cream is interrupted.
"Mad!? MAD!? I am just getting started!" Rouge shouts.
"Well, if YOU hadn't left your room, it would have been Sonic and me in that room last night, not you!" Amy accuses.
"What!?! You guys were sneaking around in my house last night!?! Why I oughta..." but once again, Tails is interrupted.
"AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!! What in the WORLD are you doing in here!?!?!?! You aren't supposed to be here! Wait a minute... if you ARE here, then, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" more screaming from the dormitories.
"Oh... my... god..." Tails groans.
"Isn't it funny how Rouge and Amy are oblivious to the screams we just heard? Notice how they are still practically killing each other," Cream says.
"What the hell were you in THAT room in THAT bed with me!?!?!" Sonic demands as he and Shadow just get into the kitchen.
"Whaddaya mean, what was ~I~ doing in the room!? I was there first! Then you showed up!" Shadow shouts.
"Oh, don't pretend to be so innocent, you KNEW what you were trying to do!!!" Sonic screams.
"And what was that?!" Shadow screams right back.
"To destroy me by humiliation!!" Sonic shouts.
"Hello? Don't you think that I'M a little humiliated right now, too!?!" Shadow shouts.
"You two just SHUT-UP, so I can settle this between Amy and I once and for all!!" Rouge screams at Sonic and Shadow.
"You just BUTT OUT of our conversation!!" Sonic yells.
"Well, look who's talking now, big guy!" Rouge says.
"Hey, no one says that to MY Sonic!!" Amy scolds.
"Really? Is that a threat!?!" Rouge teases while shouting.
"I am NOT, YOUR SONIC!!!!" Sonic screams.
"Don't you DARE scream at Amy!" Shadow yells.
"I'll yell at whoever I WANT!!!" Sonic shouts.
"Bring it on!" Shadow practically demands.
"No, no... why me, why now?" Tails sobs.
Both Tails and Cream watch in horror as a huge fight begins in his kitchen. Sonic kicks Shadow in the face and he returns with a low-blow. Amy slaps Rouge, and Rouge does a Screw Kick to Amy. Blows are exchanged continuously. Cream begins to cry, and Tails runs to save his pancakes. All of this in this fray continues violently... until someone comes into the kitchen...
"What the... this is odd," Laki says.
"Have at thee, coward!" Shadow yells at Sonic.
"I already have, ye scurvy knave!" Sonic yells back.
"I bite my thumb at you, so ha-ha-HA!" Amy shouts to Rouge.
"Well, I bite my thumb back at you!" Rouge shouts back.
"Grrr, you're gonna pay with your life!" Amy screams.
"Come on, sista, show me whatcha got!" Rouge intimidates.
Laki then joins Cream and Tails to watch this vicious battle between bitter friends. But soon, Laki notices something that her mother had passed on to her. A secret ability, that gave her an advantage. Laki could see that the skin of her fighting friends was weak, and beginning to give way. Soon, someone was going to be badly hurt. Blood, was going to flow from her friends if she didn't stop them. So, she stood up, walked over to first Shadow and Sonic, and just as they charged each other, she put up both of her arms, out-stretched, and caught both Shadow and Sonic. One in each hand.
"Grrr, lemme at him, I want to KILL him!!!" Sonic grunted.
"No, you don't want to kill him. You are just upset that your plan last night did not work out, and that it gave you bad consequences," Laki says.
"Such a man I have yet to see in this blue faker!" Shadow mumbled.
"WHAT!?!" Sonic yelled.
"Stop it, both of you, NOW!!! Or I shall be forced to carry out physical force to stop you!" Laki yelled, louder than any of the yells made before.
Sonic and Shadow both stood up really straight, wide-eyed, and petrified.
"Now, to stop the ladies..." Laki said.
Laki, once again, put up her hands, outstretched, to stop Amy and Rouge from killing each other.
"Common, girl, let me make this wretch SUFFER!!!" Amy yelled.
"(sigh) I guess women are no different from men. I'll have to stop you in the same way," Laki says.
"What do you mean!?" Rouge demanded.
"Well, I just mean simply that I... WILL HAVE TO HURT YOU TO GET YOU TO STOP IF YOU DON'T ON YOUR OWN!!!" Laki yelled, louder than before.
"Geez, girl, you gotta take a chill pill," Amy says.
"Shut yer yap, Amy!" Laki scolded.
"That was kind of rude, Laki, wasn't it?" Cream said.
"Don't make me have to do the same to you, too!" Laki scolded.
"EEEP! Sorry..." Cream said, trying not to cry.
Laki then began to pace around the kitchen, looking sternly at everyone, questioning their faces. Laki then decided that she'd start with Rouge, and figure out just what was going on.
"Ok, Rouge... Why were you sleeping with Amy last night?" Laki asked.
"Well, I had originally sneaked out of the bedroom, so I could go to Angel Island and find my one true love, Knuck..." Rouge is interrupted by staring faces, and Laki's voice.
"Have you forgotten something, Rouge!?!" Laki scolded.
"What? Why are you all staring at me? I just wanted to go see my beloved Knuck... (She interrupts herself) Oh my god... I am such an idiot..." Rouge says very embarrassed, she had forgotten that Knuckles was missing.
"That's what I thought. Remember, we are on this journey to SAVE MY FATHER, Knuckles. Not make love; it is the same story with the rest of you, sneaking out to find the one you love, right!?!" Laki yelled.
Everyone nodded, excluding the scared Tails and Cream, who are hiding behind the chairs on the other side of the table.
"I would have expected better of my father's closest friends, especially you, Rouge! From now on, we take no breaks, no rests, no nothing. We will not stop until my father is safe at home," Laki says.
Laki then wipes the sweat from her head, and turns back to Tails and Cream, who are shaking nervously behind the chair.
"Well, Tails? Aren't you going to go get your navigation devices so that we may find my father!?" Laki says.
"Oh, yes, of course!! So sorry..." Tails says, as he runs to find his things.
"Cream, go help him!" Laki orders.
"Right away, Laki!" Cream says cherrfully, try to cheer up Laki.
"And as for the rest of you, apologize, and forget that what happened happened. I don't want to hear ANYTHING ELSE about it!" Laki orders again.
"I'm sorry for hurting you, Sonic," Shadow says.
"I'm sorry for screaming at you," Sonic replies.
"We are friends. It shouldn't have been that big of deal," Shadow said.
"Will you forgive me?" Sonic asks.
Shadow and Sonic hug (yes, hug) each other tight, realizing what terrible things they might have done to each other if they had not been stopped by Laki. And at the same time, Rouge and Amy make up.
"Heh, look at those two losers hug each other," Rouge laughs.
"I must admit, it looks RIDICULOUS," Amy chuckles along.
"I'm sorry, Amy," Rouge says.
"Me too," Amy replies.
"That is much better, all of you," Laki comments, pleased with her efforts.
Laki then smiles, and realizes why these people were friends with her father. How they forgave each other for anything. And stuck together no matter what. (As shown in many other fanfictions.) So, she shed a tear, happy that she knew she could count on them. For the battle with her father's kidnapper, had yet to begin. ________________________________________________________________________
Whew! I am finally done writing this chapter! It took me a long time. All of this anger flying back and forth was immense! Sigh, I love drama! Maybe I will put more in the next chapter...
Anyway, thank you for reading chapter 7! It makes me feel happy to know that I have people who actually WANT to read the story! And thank you SO MUCH Arielle for coming back to my story when I started writing it again!
As usual, please make your review a sign-review (you do know what that is, don't you?) if possible. And even if you can't, review anyway! I love your comments and love just being recognized! Thanks again!
