Not!
Ok, enough of my blah-blaming. Here's the fourth chappie of Hedgehogs to
Humans, my frieeeeeeends!! Looks a clam! (:)
***********************
Amy lay on her bed looking at a picture of her Sonniku. "He's gone. We all are." She mumbled.
"What's keeping you down?" Derek asked, walking into the room. He had his usual "heroic" and "self-assured" smile on, but it wasn't the same. 'I guess humans are a boring species.' Amy thought.
"Huh? Oh, nothing, nothing!" She said, trying to be her normal perky self. Derek took the picture out of her hands as he sat at the end of her bed.
"Oh. It's me."
"Yeah." She answered, trying to avoid eye contact.
"We'll be our normal selves soon." He assured her, putting the picture on the bed beside him. He put his hand on her's.
"Sonic," Amy started.
"What?"
"I'm confused. You say you can't stand me, but in times like these, you're so affectionate. I don't get it." Derek was surprised at the ditz's wise choice of words, and sighed. "I mean, really. Tell where this is going." She tried not to change the subject.
"I," Derek mumbled, looking away and slowly removing his hand. He took a quick glance at the blonde's concerned and curious face. "I don't have an answer for you." He sighed and left the room quick enough so she couldn't start another conversation.
Amy looked at the picture again, and put her face in her pillow and cried.
Mean while, Sam and Victoria were at an amusement park having a great time. They didn't go on a lot of the rides; they just enjoyed each other's company.
"So how is the band going with Derek and the rest?" Victoria asked as they sat down eating they're cotton candy.
"Oh, its okay. We still haven't figured out what we're going to do for the sound effects that Amy's gonna do. We have her flute and the Xylophone that both Amy and Niki are going to use."
"Oh, good." She said.
"So," Sam started, shifting his weight. "What have you been up to lately?"
"Uhmmm, nothing much."
"Ah." Sam looked at Victoria and then her hair. "Hey, Victoria, what was your original hair color?" He asked. Her hair had colors died in, and you could barely tell what the original was.
"Oh, you can see a little patch of it right here." She said, combing her fingers trough it until she found the little patch. She showed it to him, and he noticed something. It was the same color as Maria's.
"Maria," He whispered.
"What? Who's Maria?" Victoria said with a smile on. Sam made an 'hm' sound and got up. He started to walk, and Victoria followed. "Sam? What's wrong?" she kept asking, but he never answered. He turned to her. Her smile was soon a look of concern.
"Victoria," He said, putting his hands on her face. "I need to go home to think. I'm sorry we couldn't be together longer."
"Um, ok." She whimpered. "What's wrong?"
"I," He kept his hands on her face, but looked away. "I just need to think." Then he left her standing at the amusement park.
When Sam got back to the Apartment Building, he passed the girls' apartment before he got to theirs. He looked in because the door was open. Niki and her new boyfriend "Brad" were rolling around on the couch to the floor doing naughty stuff [yes, they DID have their clothes on].
"I can tell you guys love privacy." Sam called in as he shut the door for them. They seemed not to notice. Then, he walked into the boys' apartment where he sat on his bed and put his hands in his face. "Maria," He whispered again. "Now that I'm human, why are you dead? I'm here now. I could have loved you, but no, you died." Sam sighed and started to weep a bit, but not too much. He had a reputation. "I can't believe I actually almost forgot about her." He whispered, even quieter than before.
"What's wrong with you?" Kevin said, walking in.
"Nothing. Leave me alone. Don't you have a girlfriend to hang out with?" Sam snapped.
"Hey, calm yourself, dude." Kevin said, walking over to his closet. "This is my room, too, I can do anything I want in here."
"But you don't sleep in here."
"So? My stuff is in it. It's my room, too." Kevin took out a book he was going to read. "I'm going into town later, do you want to come? You can bring your girl along if you like."
"No thanks. I'm staying here." Sam answered, almost in a whisper. He took his jacket off as Kevin left the room and lay down on the bed. He soon fell asleep.
A couple hours later, Kevin went into town as he had told Sam. He decided to go to the book sale, now that he had finished his other book. Lately he had been reading more, since there was no guarding to do. Kevin saw a book and went to grab it, but someone beat him to it. He looked up at the snatcher. He raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, I'm sorry, did you want this book?" The woman giggled.
"Oh, no, I was just reaching for it. Thought I'd throw it on the ground." He said sarcasticly. She giggled, and he thought it sounded familiar. He looked at her again. She had long blond hair, with long bangs over her eyes. "Have I met you before?" He asked.
"I don't think so." She beamed. She was wearing a jean jacket over an orange shirt. Her pants were jeans and they were bell bottoms [or Flairs].
"You smile too much." He mumbled, as if a joke.
"You're funny. In a sarcastic way."
"Is that a good thing?" Kevin said, keeping his eye on the book he wanted. The girl shrugged.
"I don't know, is it?" Kevin thought this game was fun, but he didn't feel like playing.
"Are you going to look at that book or not?" He said, eager to get his hands on something to read.
"How can someone like you like to read?" She asked, observing his punkish clothing.
"It's not like I have anything else to do." He said leaning back. She looked at him for a moment.
"How about you go to dinner with me?" She asked, giving him a suggestive look.
"Well, how can I date you if I don't even know your name? I'm Kevin."
"My name's Tobitha."
"Tobitha, eh?" He looked at her. "That's an---hem----interesting name."
"Hey, I'm not asking you out to make fun of meh name." She said, starting to walk away with the book. Then Knuckles remembered where he saw her.
"The store." He said to himself. He wondered if maybe she knew anything about him. She might have been following him.
"Wait," He called, catching up with her. "Tobitha, sorry. I'll go to dinner with you." He said. She smiled at him.
"Really? What time?"
"Uh, how bout 8 at that new restaurant in town?"
"Sure!" She exclaimed, pushing the book into his chest and running away in the opposite direction. "See you then!" She called back. Kevin looked at the book and rolled his eyes.
At seven thirty, Kevin was getting ready to go.
"Where are you going?" Derek asked, watching his friend try to pick something out to wear.
"Where does it look like I'm going?"
"A date?"
"Yup."
"What's her name?"
"Tobitha."
"Tobitha?"
"Tobitha."
"That's a funny name."
"Yeah, I said the same thing." Kevin finally found some thing laid back and not too punk like himself. He added a little more jell to his hair, and then looked in the mirror. He WAS human, and this WAS happening. Kevin often found himself wondering how the Master Emerald and Angel Island was doing. Tikal was most likely watching the emerald.
"So, how's your song going?" Derek finally asked.
"Song?"
"We ARE still doing the band thing, right?"
"Of course. I just have to think of what I'm going to write my song ABOUT." Kevin adjusted his button down shirt. 'This body looks really bad with button down shirts. This sucks.' He thought.
"Well, for starters, you know its going to be a rap."
"Uh, yeah. You can do the chorus line, Sonic." Kevin said, pretending he was listening. He walked into the living room where Niki was sitting. "Sorry, little girl, visiting hours are over." He taunted. "Aren't you going on a date with Brad?"
"I know you're jealous, Knux." Kevin froze in his steps and stared at his 'X' girlfriend who USED to be a bat. Kevin then realized that, yes, he was jealous. He looked at her again. They were both human now.
"Yeah, but I've got a date." Kevin finally said, denying the fact that what she said was true. Niki shook her head, and her eyes watered.
"You know, Knuckles?" She sniffed. "I think being human is messing us all up. I've noticed." Kevin couldn't help but sit next to Niki and let her put her head on his shoulder for emotional support. "I've noticed that Shadow is different. That girl of his. I think she's made him forget about Maria.
"Rouge, you know that's impossible."
"Yes, but he's not the same. He's not complaining about how he could have been with her, and-you know."
"You'd be surprised. If he forgot her, he remembered her this after noon. Right now he's sleeping off his sorrow. And the way you're acting about it makes it seem like you want him to love you again."
"He's sleeping? And, no, I don't need him loving me anymore." She mumbled, looking at his door.
"Yeah. Now, why aren't you going out with Brad?"
"He told me he was busy."
"Okay. Well, I suggest you get something to do, because Amy and Sonic are going some where, and," Kevin got cut off by Derek walking out of the kitchen.
"Has anyone seen Tails?!" He asked, and without an answer, he walked back into the kitchen.
"And Tails is no where to be found."
"And where did you say you were going?" Niki asked.
"A date."
"Oh yeah." She said hesitantly.
"And, Rouge?" Kevin said, looking at her. She had somehow made her way onto his lap, as if it would give her an advantage of some sort.
"Yes, Knuxie?"
"One, get off me, and two, don't call me Knuxie."
"Oh! Sorry!" She exclaimed, getting off and then walking into her apartment next door.
"Obnoxious, yes, sexy----of course." He mumbled to himself as he got up from the couch and grabbed his wallet. Knowing women, Kevin brought a lot of extra money he had made. Even Princess Tikal, honest, passionate, and humble, used any man's money she could get her hands on when it came to going to dinner or shopping [of course!]. Kevin knew this because once he had to watch her highness when her father had to leave the island for a couple of weeks. And, yes, his money slipped through his fingers like melted butter. Tobitha was to be no different then any other female Kevin had dated [one of them being me! ;) ].
Just as Kevin was about to walk out the door, the phone rang. He picked up, since Derek and Sam were both sleeping. Actually, Derek wasn't sleeping, but he was just too lazy to go get the phone.
Kevin heard a small voice on the other end.
"Hi, Kevin. This is Tyler."
"Tails?! Where are you? Derek won't go out with Amy until he knows where you are, and so Amy is getting upset."
"I know. I'm just working at my job a little longer. It's really fun, and there's nothing to do at the apartment, anyway."
"Okay, whatever, I'll tell Sonic. I have to go, I have a date."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye." Kevin quickly told Derek where Tyler was, and left. He got into a red convertible that he was renting, and drove away.
Kevin walked into the restaurant and looked around. It was a little too fancy for his liking, but the food must be good. Then, he saw Tobitha, sitting at a table. A table for two. A candle in the middle with a little rose. And, Tobitha, if the setting wasn't enough, she made everything light up. Her smile, how she just sat there in a baby-blue, long, halter-top dress. Kevin found himself just staring until she noticed him, and pointed to the chair across from her. He immediately walked over and sat down.
"Hi." She said, suggestively. Seemed to Kevin that everything about her was suggestive [if ya know what I mean.].
"Um, hi. What's up?" He asked, totally forgetting what kind of setting they were in. She smiled and told him all was well, and then she asked him the same. The two of them quickly got to know each other, and found out that even if they didn't have a lot of the same interests, they both had similarities in their personalities.
"So," He started, after leaning back after eating all he could. "The cute-sy act you put on at the book sale. It WAS an act, wasn't it?"
"Hell, yeah." Tobitha said. "Guys tend to like that kind of thing. But, I guess you're kind of different, aren't you?"
"I don't know, it depends on who I'm hanging out with." Kevin looked at the now sarcastic, suggestive, AND witty Tobitha. She had sort of a glitter in her eyes. After staring quite a bit, Tobitha raised an eyebrow.
"Take a picture and it will last longer." She said, not taking her eyes off his, either.
"You're beautiful." Kevin commented, ignoring the sarcastic comment. Tobitha looked as if she was flattered, and as if she had been told by a thousand men at the same time.
Later---
Sam woke up. He looked around. It was pitch black, and obviously night. He felt different. Well, when you sleep with your clothes on, you feel different. But Sam felt extra warmth. As he propped himself in bed, he felt an arm come around his waste.
"Wha?" He mumbled. He felt where the arm was coming from and recognized the face he felt. "Why?" He asked again to himself in surprise. He got up quickly and ran into the living room where Kevin was peacefully reading. "What time is it?!" Sam hissed.
"Oh, so you found her." He said, looking at Sam.
"I asked;"
"Yeah, I know. It's 2 AM."
"Now, what's Victoria doing in my bed?!" Sam hissed again.
"I was coming home from my date. It was really late. Hey, that rhymes,"
"Just tell me, Knux."
"Anyway, she was standing at the door, and she was wondering;[flash back::]
---"How's Sam? I need to see him. Is he doing okay?" She kept asking. I swear, she was like a fly. Saying the same things all over again. You know, like buzzing.
"At eleven at night? Can't you see him tomorrow?" I asked, really wanting to get into the apartment.
"See, he was acting weird today, and I couldn't stop thinking about him. So, I decided to come over, but the door was locked."
"Well, of course the door was LOCKED, stupid." I tell ya, women today. They act like they don't know what a LOCK is.
"Well, can I see him?" She whimpered.
"He's been sleeping all day. I don't know what luck you'll get."
"I don't care."
"What, are you gonna sleep with him?" I was surprised at her reaction. All she did was shrug and say:
"I guess. I really want to see him." I was extremely surprised that my sarcasm didn't scare her away. For some reason, I get the idea that she loves you a whole lot. I just stood there and stared at her for a bit, and then I let her in. As soon as she came in she ran to your room and opened the door. She hesitated before going in, but I nodded and sat on the couch and she walked in. ---- [end flash back]
"Oh." Was all Sam said, looking back at the room he just ran out of. "I suppose," He croaked, his throat seemed to close up. "I suppose I love her, too."
"Hm. Then why don't you go back in there?"
"I'm a little shaken up."
"Shadow? Shadow is shaken up?!"
"Hey, shut up, I don't want Sonic to hear."
"Hey, Shad I have a question."
"What?"
"What's she wearing? I mean, I knew she was wearing shorts and a spaghetti-strapped shirt, but what's she wearing NOW? Did she get carried away?"
"Shut up!!" Sam exclaimed. "Victoria isn't like that. Not at all." Kevin didn't respond. He went back to reading his book, snickering as he did. Mean while, Sam went back to his room and stood in the doorway. He heard a faint laugh from the bed.
"I'm sorry I surprised you like that." She whispered. "I was so worried about you. I needed to come." Sam didn't talk and he came onto the bed. He gently lay down on her and kissed her on the forehead.
"I'm glad you decided to." He said. He got back under the covers and held her close.
********************** 0.0 I did such a bad job on this chapter. It's pointless, isn't it? Well, actually, some of it is vital, but you wouldn't know that it. I guess you could call it an introduction-in-the-fourth-chapter chapter. Yes, the introduction-in-the-fourth-chapter chapter.
I've been reading too much of this one Yu-Gi-Oh! Fic that has a lot of kissy-kissy in it, and I wanna write something like it. But of course, you saw my Unexpected Love fic, which gives romances a bad name since I suck at kissing scenes! I need pointers, because there WILL be more romance in further chapters!! Peace Out, and I promise the next chapter will be better!
Amy lay on her bed looking at a picture of her Sonniku. "He's gone. We all are." She mumbled.
"What's keeping you down?" Derek asked, walking into the room. He had his usual "heroic" and "self-assured" smile on, but it wasn't the same. 'I guess humans are a boring species.' Amy thought.
"Huh? Oh, nothing, nothing!" She said, trying to be her normal perky self. Derek took the picture out of her hands as he sat at the end of her bed.
"Oh. It's me."
"Yeah." She answered, trying to avoid eye contact.
"We'll be our normal selves soon." He assured her, putting the picture on the bed beside him. He put his hand on her's.
"Sonic," Amy started.
"What?"
"I'm confused. You say you can't stand me, but in times like these, you're so affectionate. I don't get it." Derek was surprised at the ditz's wise choice of words, and sighed. "I mean, really. Tell where this is going." She tried not to change the subject.
"I," Derek mumbled, looking away and slowly removing his hand. He took a quick glance at the blonde's concerned and curious face. "I don't have an answer for you." He sighed and left the room quick enough so she couldn't start another conversation.
Amy looked at the picture again, and put her face in her pillow and cried.
Mean while, Sam and Victoria were at an amusement park having a great time. They didn't go on a lot of the rides; they just enjoyed each other's company.
"So how is the band going with Derek and the rest?" Victoria asked as they sat down eating they're cotton candy.
"Oh, its okay. We still haven't figured out what we're going to do for the sound effects that Amy's gonna do. We have her flute and the Xylophone that both Amy and Niki are going to use."
"Oh, good." She said.
"So," Sam started, shifting his weight. "What have you been up to lately?"
"Uhmmm, nothing much."
"Ah." Sam looked at Victoria and then her hair. "Hey, Victoria, what was your original hair color?" He asked. Her hair had colors died in, and you could barely tell what the original was.
"Oh, you can see a little patch of it right here." She said, combing her fingers trough it until she found the little patch. She showed it to him, and he noticed something. It was the same color as Maria's.
"Maria," He whispered.
"What? Who's Maria?" Victoria said with a smile on. Sam made an 'hm' sound and got up. He started to walk, and Victoria followed. "Sam? What's wrong?" she kept asking, but he never answered. He turned to her. Her smile was soon a look of concern.
"Victoria," He said, putting his hands on her face. "I need to go home to think. I'm sorry we couldn't be together longer."
"Um, ok." She whimpered. "What's wrong?"
"I," He kept his hands on her face, but looked away. "I just need to think." Then he left her standing at the amusement park.
When Sam got back to the Apartment Building, he passed the girls' apartment before he got to theirs. He looked in because the door was open. Niki and her new boyfriend "Brad" were rolling around on the couch to the floor doing naughty stuff [yes, they DID have their clothes on].

I could have loved you, but no, you died." Sam sighed and started to weep a bit, but not too much. He had a reputation. "I can't believe I actually almost forgot about her." He whispered, even quieter than before.
"What's wrong with you?" Kevin said, walking in.
"Nothing. Leave me alone. Don't you have a girlfriend to hang out with?" Sam snapped.

"Oh, no, I was just reaching for it. Thought I'd throw it on the ground." He said sarcasticly. She giggled, and he thought it sounded familiar. He looked at her again. She had long blond hair, with long bangs over her eyes. "Have I met you before?" He asked.
"I don't think so." She beamed. She was wearing a jean jacket over an orange shirt. Her pants were jeans and they were bell bottoms [or Flairs].
"You smile too much." He mumbled, as if a joke.
"You're funny. In a sarcastic way."
"Is that a good thing?" Kevin said, keeping his eye on the book he wanted. The girl shrugged.
"I don't know, is it?" Kevin thought this game was fun, but he didn't feel like playing.

He WAS human, and this WAS happening. Kevin often found himself wondering how the Master Emerald and Angel Island was doing. Tikal was most likely watching the emerald.
"So, how's your song going?" Derek finally asked.
"Song?"
"We ARE still doing the band thing, right?"
"Of course. I just have to think of what I'm going to write my song ABOUT." Kevin adjusted his button down shirt. 'This body looks really bad with button down shirts. This sucks.' He thought.
"Well, for starters, you know its going to be a rap."
"Uh, yeah. You can do the chorus line, Sonic." Kevin said, pretending he was listening. He walked into the living room where Niki was sitting. "Sorry, little girl, visiting hours are over." He taunted. "Aren't you going on a date with Brad?"
"I know you're jealous, Knux." Kevin froze in his steps and stared at his 'X' girlfriend who USED to be a bat. Kevin then realized that, yes, he was jealous. He looked at her again. They were both human now.
"Yeah, but I've got a date." Kevin finally said, denying the fact that what she said was true. Niki shook her head, and her eyes watered.

"Rouge, you know that's impossible."
"Yes, but he's not the same. He's not complaining about how he could have been with her, and-you know."
"You'd be surprised. If he forgot her, he remembered her this after noon. Right now he's sleeping off his sorrow. And the way you're acting about it makes it seem like you want him to love you again."
"He's sleeping? And, no, I don't need him loving me anymore." She mumbled, looking at his door.
"Yeah. Now, why aren't you going out with Brad?"
"He told me he was busy."
"Okay. Well, I suggest you get something to do, because Amy and Sonic are going some where, and," Kevin got cut off by Derek walking out of the kitchen.

"And Tails is no where to be found."

"A date."

"Yes, Knuxie?"
"One, get off me, and two, don't call me Knuxie."
"Oh! Sorry!" She exclaimed, getting off and then walking into her apartment next door.
"Obnoxious, yes, sexy----of course." He mumbled to himself as he got up from the couch and grabbed his wallet. Knowing women, Kevin brought a lot of extra money he had made. Even Princess Tikal, honest, passionate, and humble, used any man's money she could get her hands on when it came to going to dinner or shopping [of course!]. Kevin knew this because once he had to watch her highness when her father had to leave the island for a couple of weeks. And, yes, his money slipped through his fingers like melted butter. Tobitha was to be no different then any other female Kevin had dated [one of them being me! ;) ].
Just as Kevin was about to walk out the door, the phone rang. He picked up, since Derek and Sam were both sleeping. Actually, Derek wasn't sleeping, but he was just too lazy to go get the phone.
Kevin heard a small voice on the other end.
"Hi, Kevin. This is Tyler."
"Tails?! Where are you? Derek won't go out with Amy until he knows where you are, and so Amy is getting upset."
"I know. I'm just working at my job a little longer. It's really fun, and there's nothing to do at the apartment, anyway."
"Okay, whatever, I'll tell Sonic. I have to go, I have a date."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye." Kevin quickly told Derek where Tyler was, and left. He got into a red convertible that he was renting, and drove away.
Kevin walked into the restaurant and looked around. It was a little too fancy for his liking, but the food must be good. Then, he saw Tobitha, sitting at a table. A table for two. A candle in the middle with a little rose. And, Tobitha, if the setting wasn't enough, she made everything light up. Her smile, how she just sat there in a baby-blue, long, halter-top dress. Kevin found himself just staring until she noticed him, and pointed to the chair across from her. He immediately walked over and sat down.
"Hi." She said, suggestively. Seemed to Kevin that everything about her was suggestive [if ya know what I mean.].
"Um, hi. What's up?" He asked, totally forgetting what kind of setting they were in. She smiled and told him all was well, and then she asked him the same. The two of them quickly got to know each other, and found out that even if they didn't have a lot of the same interests, they both had similarities in their personalities.
"So," He started, after leaning back after eating all he could. "The cute-sy act you put on at the book sale. It WAS an act, wasn't it?"
"Hell, yeah." Tobitha said. "Guys tend to like that kind of thing. But, I guess you're kind of different, aren't you?"

---"How's Sam? I need to see him. Is he doing okay?" She kept asking. I swear, she was like a fly. Saying the same things all over again. You know, like buzzing.
"At eleven at night? Can't you see him tomorrow?" I asked, really wanting to get into the apartment.
"See, he was acting weird today, and I couldn't stop thinking about him. So, I decided to come over, but the door was locked."
"Well, of course the door was LOCKED, stupid." I tell ya, women today. They act like they don't know what a LOCK is.
"Well, can I see him?" She whimpered.
"He's been sleeping all day. I don't know what luck you'll get."
"I don't care."
"What, are you gonna sleep with him?" I was surprised at her reaction. All she did was shrug and say:
"I guess. I really want to see him." I was extremely surprised that my sarcasm didn't scare her away. For some reason, I get the idea that she loves you a whole lot. I just stood there and stared at her for a bit, and then I let her in. As soon as she came in she ran to your room and opened the door. She hesitated before going in, but I nodded and sat on the couch and she walked in. ---- [end flash back]
"Oh." Was all Sam said, looking back at the room he just ran out of. "I suppose," He croaked, his throat seemed to close up. "I suppose I love her, too."
"Hm. Then why don't you go back in there?"
"I'm a little shaken up."
"Shadow? Shadow is shaken up?!"
"Hey, shut up, I don't want Sonic to hear."
"Hey, Shad I have a question."
"What?"
"What's she wearing? I mean, I knew she was wearing shorts and a spaghetti-strapped shirt, but what's she wearing NOW? Did she get carried away?"
"Shut up!!" Sam exclaimed. "Victoria isn't like that. Not at all." Kevin didn't respond. He went back to reading his book, snickering as he did. Mean while, Sam went back to his room and stood in the doorway. He heard a faint laugh from the bed.
"I'm sorry I surprised you like that." She whispered. "I was so worried about you. I needed to come." Sam didn't talk and he came onto the bed. He gently lay down on her and kissed her on the forehead.
"I'm glad you decided to." He said. He got back under the covers and held her close.
********************** 0.0 I did such a bad job on this chapter. It's pointless, isn't it? Well, actually, some of it is vital, but you wouldn't know that it. I guess you could call it an introduction-in-the-fourth-chapter chapter. Yes, the introduction-in-the-fourth-chapter chapter.
I've been reading too much of this one Yu-Gi-Oh! Fic that has a lot of kissy-kissy in it, and I wanna write something like it. But of course, you saw my Unexpected Love fic, which gives romances a bad name since I suck at kissing scenes! I need pointers, because there WILL be more romance in further chapters!! Peace Out, and I promise the next chapter will be better!
