Okay, fact one! If you don't like fan characters, don't read.
I like fan characters and the only coupling in this story is an intended Shadamy!
I got permission for use of Pikan!
Sorry Eless that Pikan is OOC and younger, but she's just so cute isn't she?
Thank you for reviews so far, Mouse of Anon, I love your stories and your reviews are funny!
Disclaimer: I don't own sonic characters in any way and Pikan belongs to Eless The Hedgecat.
Amy wanted to investigate more, if there was no virus, what would there be? She turned to exit and abruptly bumped into someone, she shook her head and looked upon the face of Shadow.
"Geez Shadow, don't just jump out like that." Amy muttered and ran a hand through her fringe, the black hedgehog had his gaze fixed on the now blank video screen, his expression showed nothing other than thinking.
"So... The virus warning was a lie." He said and crossed his arms.
"I suppose so, and now, I'm going to check this place out some more. Who knows what else could've been crawling around here." Amy walked past him and stopped at the door.
"You wanna come?" She turned her head slightly to look at Shadow, he was still facing the screen but he nodded and turned to follow her. They walked out into the hallway and both of them now turned their attention to the Virus Composition Room, Amy walked up to the door and swallowed quite loudly.
"I wonder what's in there."
"Well there's always only one way to find out." Shadow opened the large swinging doors, they both entered and the doors shut silently behind them.
It was kind of obvious what the room would look like. The walls were a greyish colour, there was four working benches around the room with assorted glass and plastic items on them. In the far right corner there was a simple looking unlabeled door. Probably locked, or a closet.
Shadow seemed curious about the door and he quickly strode up to the door, Amy wandered aimlessly about the room but slowly came to Shadow's side. The door was slightly ajar and light was coming from inside...
"Well um... You first." Amy mumbled and Shadow rolled his eyes.
"Isn't is supposed to be ladies first?" He smirked.
"Good thing I'm not a lady." Amy crossed her arms and smiled slightly. Shadow chuckled and slowly opened the door, Amy wrinkled up her nose as a strange scent emitted from inside.
"What an odd smell." Amy said and walked inside, Shadow followed close behind. Some sort of large capsule in the centre of the room was giving off an eerie green glow, Shadow and Amy walked over to the front of it, Amy gasped.
In front of them, in the capsule, was some sort of animal... Definitely female.
It was hard to tell what colour she was in the green fluid keeping her in suspended animation. She had a normal muzzle and her eyes were joined, like a normal hedgehog. She also had a mess of quills on her forehead pointed out as a fringe and her longer quills reached down to her shoulders. Her ears seemed slightly more pointed. She didn't seem to have much figure either, she looked just a few years younger than Amy. She had a circle on her stomach too, nothing much else out of the ordinary except for her large fluffy looking tail behind her.
Shadow stared at a computer screen in front of the capsule.
"Look here." He pointed to a bunch of notes:
Name: Pikan.
Age: 7
Gender: Female
Type of Animal: Hedgehog/cat.
Omnivore: dislikes bones.
Allergies: None of yet.
Brief notes: Pikan can seem to communicate telepathically with her kind, no proof yet, research further. Non-aggressive, partially afraid of humans though.
Amy and Shadow exchanged glances, below the screen was a green button, beside it; a red one. The green one clearly said 'Release'. The red one just had a picture of a capsule on it. Before Amy could say anything, Shadow pushed the green button.
"..." They looked up and watched as the liquid quickly drained from the capsule. It only took a moment then the capsule lifted into the ceiling, the girl was sitting on the platform with her head down, her fur was pink.
"Are you Pikan?" Amy spoke first, Shadow; for some reason walked out.
"Yes." Pikan answered simply and lifted her head, her eyes were a bright green. She stood up and jumped over behind Amy, Amy turned and watched her cautiously; Pikan smiled.
"Your a new face, Who are you?" She was either fully unaware or just didn't care for the fact, she was naked.
"Um Pikan... Shouldn't you get some clothes on?" Amy asked herself rather embarrassed, Pikan made no attempt on covering herself.
"Why?" She tilted her head, a drop of green liquid fell from her fringe and onto her nose, she suddenly shook off, the liquid splattered everywhere in range.
"That stuff smells funny." Pikan smiled and began looking around, she was right, it was the same scent that Amy smelt before.
Shadow came back in and held out a large science coat to Pikan, she looked at it for quite a while. Seeing that they weren't going to let her run around the way she was, Pikan groaned and took the coat from him. Shadow looked at Amy and chuckled, she had some of the green liquid on her, she wiped it off her face and glared at Shadow. Pikan threw on the coat carelessly and buttoned it up, the sleeves were a bit baggy and the bottom of the coat reached her ankles, her tail came out a convenient hole at the back of the coat.
Noticing that she was dressed decently, Shadow faced her.
"Pikan, that computer." Shadow pointed to the computer in front of the platform. "Says that your a hedgehog AND a cat, how did that happen?" Shadow crossed his arms.
"Well you see, my mum was a hedgehog and my dad was a cat... or..." Pikan placed her finger on her chin in thought.
"Or was my mum the cat and my dad the... I dunno!" Pikan threw her arms up in the air. "Next question." She smiled.
"That computer also said that you're telepathic, is that possible?"
"Heck no, humans just can't hear me so they jump to conclusions." Pikan held her hands behind her back and swayed a bit.
"...Damn, I gotta get something to eat." Pikan suddenly ran past them, Amy nodded and ran after her; Shadow slowly walked out.
Dormitory, Later.
Shadow was laying on a bed with his hands behind his head, Pikan became intent on asking a billion questions.
"What's your name?" Pikan sat cross-legged on a bed nearby, Amy had gone to clean the bones from the cafeteria.
"Shadow."
"Are you named that 'cuz of your colour?" Pikan asked instantly.
"I don't know."
"You don't know? Okay... So anyway, you must of buried the Bio-lizard didn't you?"
"...Yes but, how did you know that?"
"I can see ALL... Nah! I'm just kidding, I can smell dirt and blood on your fur that's all. Next! That pink girl didn't tell me her name, what's her name?" Pikan couldn't keep herself still and laid down so her arms and head hung over the edge of her bed.
"Amy"
"Do you like her?" Geez that was fast.
"...As a friend?"
"Noo! Friends are gay. Wait... Well anyways, What I mean is do you like Amy as a friend friend?" Pikan didn't like to make sense.
"..." Shadow stayed silent, Pikan grinned.
"Oo you like her, aww." Pikan sat up and sighed. "That's so cute."
At that moment, Amy entered.
"What's so cute?" She asked and sat a broom at the door, she sat on the closest bed and began taking off her boots.
"Hey Amy, what do you think of Shadow?" Pikan liked to play matchmaker.
"Um... He's pretty cool." Amy said and Shadow chuckled.
"...That's not what I meant." Pikan got up and walked to Amy's side she started whispering something. Amy's eyes widened and she blushed and said something else, Pikan giggled and ran back to her bed. Shadow was still silent, probably pretending he was asleep. Pikan took a deep breath.
"Shadow and Amy sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
Amy smiled and shook her head, Shadow had one eye open and was watching the singing hedgecat.
"First comes love, Second comes marriage."
Amy got up and ran up to Pikan and began tickling her.
"Third ahh! haha noo. Comes hahaha!" Pikan laughed and squealed as Amy continued to tickle.
Shadow watched them, they were both laughing now.
"Hey! Haha! You know, Shadow's missing out!" Pikan laughed and they both stopped and looked at Shadow.
"!" Shadow noticed their intentions and quickly sat up, Pikan was first to get up and run at him. Shadow jumped away to the other side of the room just as Pikan reached his bed.
"Get him!" Pikan yelled and chased Shadow around the room.
"You two are like evil twins!" Shadow grinned as Amy joined the chase, Amy leapt forward and tackled Shadow to the ground.
"...Isn't there suppose to be one evil and one good?" Pikan sat down and began fanning herself with her hand, Amy happily made herself comfortable sitting on Shadow's back.
"In this case? Nope, your both evil." Shadow smirked and Amy playfully made it look like she was offended, she sat up straight and put her fist on her chest.
"I sir, am offended." Amy said and burst out laughing, Pikan was laughing so hard she had trouble balancing and fell onto her back, laughing and trying to catch her breath.
2 days later
Pikan was happily marching down the hallway and entered the dormitory where Amy and Shadow were sitting against a wall, chatting or talking? Same thing isn't it?
Pikan prowled near them and they both noticed her, Amy smacked her face with her hand.
"Pikan, what did you do with your coat?" Amy asked and Shadow looked away, Pikan smiled happily and laid on a bed.
"I took it off, it was too hot." She hugged her tail and giggled, Amy stood up.
"Pikan... You HAVE to wear clothes, it's uh, kind of rude not to." Amy huffed and placed her hands on her hips, Pikan looked amused.
"My mummy and daddy are gone, but you know, you act just like 'em... I'm gonna call you mum." Pikan pointed to Amy and then to Shadow. "And you, dad."
"Okay well be a good little girl and get some clothes on." Amy ordered with slight humour, Pikan stood up and saluted.
"Okay mum but...
You gotta give daddy a kiss first!"
"What?!" Amy and Shadow yelled in unison and looked at each other, Amy blushed slightly.
"Well if you don't, that means your not my mummy and daddy and that means... I don't have to listen to you." Pikan spun around, she would either get to do what she liked or Amy would have to kiss Shadow.
"What kind of kiss?" Amy asked and watched Pikan dance about.
"Oh I don't know... On the cheek I 'spose." Pikan stood attention and smiled innocently, Amy sweat dropped, thank god she didn't say lips. Amy sighed, defeated. She knelt beside Shadow and gave him a quick peck on the cheek and turned to Pikan.
"There, now get some clothes on missy." Amy said and Pikan nodded.
"Yes mummy." She skipped out of the dormitory, Amy sat back down next to Shadow.
"She's trying to get us together." Shadow muttered.
"Haha."
