Ch6: Warning

Signo looked at Sonic who had fallen asleep in her lap at least 20 minutes ago. She looked down at him affectionately, then she grabbed his head, swivelled him around and then let go of him.

"OWWW!" Sonic yelled as his head hit the hard cold floor.

"You fell asleep on me and I felt like I was talking to a brick wall" Signo complained.

"Oh" Sonic said, going bright red. Signo sighed and walked out of the room, and then she stuck her head back around the wall.

"You looked quite cute when you were asleep to be honest" she said, "You need to go freshen up; Shadow'll kill you if he sees you like that" she added. She walked into Shadow's room and was surprised to see he was already awake. "I, er, brought you something to eat" Signo stammered. "Have you been listening to me?" she blurted out.

"For me to know and you to find out" Shadow said coldly.

"Well you seem grateful today don't you?"

"Signo" Shadow sat up and had a serious look on his face. "Signo, you can't fall in love with Sonic, don't ask me why you will know soon enough"

"Shadow……"

"I said DON'T ASK!" Signo had only just got back and already she had annoyed Shadow so much he was shouting at her. "Signo" he sighed "I just don't want to see you getting hurt". Signo ran out of the room and straight out to the CDA base. She quickly packed her suitcase and ran out of her flat. She unpacked her clothes and started to pick out what she was going to wear. She sifted through and not long after she found a tiny little red strapless top and she changed into that. She also put on a mini skirt identical to the one she had on, then took off her red headband and replaced it with a red pin in the shape of a star. She touched up her red eyeliner and her red lip-gloss (half of it had rubbed off on Sonic) and finally she swapped her platform trainers for black high-heeled sandals. She then ran out of her flat and back to Shadow's.

Sonic dragged himself out of the couch and rubbed his stomach contently, he put the empty plate in the kitchen, then wandered into the bathroom and looked in the mirror.

"AHHH!" Sonic yelled. He heard Shadow coming to see what all the fuss was about and he hastily hid his face in the sink.

"Why did you yell?" Shadow snapped.

"Oh, just the water was a little cold, that's all" Sonic lied. Shadow stared at him.

"Signo's a very pretty girl isn't she Sonic?" Shadow said. Sonic nodded. "Don't even bother making a move on her, coz if you do and then you hurt her, I'll tear you limb from limb" Shadow was dead serious. He walked out of the room and Sonic stood up straight and looked in the mirror. He had lip-gloss smeared across his mouth from when Signo had first kissed him and also some on his forehead. He quickly splashed some water on his face and began to rub the marks vigorously. Lucky for him that they came off pretty easily.

Meanwhile, Signo stood behind Shadow's and got out her mobile phone. She dialled Shadow's house and was answered by Sonic.

"Hi" he chirped cheerily.

"Hi, Sonic you go on to the party on your own- me, Shadow and Es will catch up with you"

"Ok, if you say so… oh, by the way those cookies you baked were gorgeous" he paused " just like you"

Signo felt herself melting with Sonic's words. 'Stuff Shadow how could I not fall in love? But Sonic doesn't need to know that' "You know, it's gonna take a bit more than sweet talk to win me over" she added "See ya there sugar!" Then she hung up. She saw Sonic run out of the house and she smiled and went into the house herself. Not looking where she was going, she walked straight into Shadow.

"Right! Now you ARE showing WAY too much!" Shadow yelled looking at Signo's top. Signo sighed and shoved him out the way and walked past. She went into the kitchen, got herself a drink then came back out again.

"We need to get going" Signo said without looking at Shadow "We still have to get Espio"

"Ok" Shadow sighed "And it's your decision what you wear" he added reluctantly. Signo smiled and they both went out the door.
