Part 8 The Lord of the Shoes
After school that day, "Sonic" started putting his plans into action.
He had worked the whole afternoon the day before, searching everywhere for someone who could give him what he was after, and after hours of intense work, he had finally found what he was looking for.
Only problem: It was on Fiji!
Fiji is an Island.
Islands are usually surrounded by water.
"Sonic" likes water almost as much as the real Sonic.
To get to an Island, you have to cross the water that surrounds the Island. (Except for Angel Island, where you have to fly to, but, as Shadow would say, Whatever!)
To get across water, you have to either swim, fly, or take a boat.
Since "Sonic" can fly almost aswell as he swims, he decided to take a boat!
Problem remaining: How to get a boat.
Easy!
You steal one!
So, after school that day, Shadow set off to steal a boat.
Then, when he was halfway to the docks, he realised that stealing a boat would be rather pointless, since, if he remembered correctly, he still had the Chaos Emerald hidden in his quills.
He stopped dead in his tracks, and, while cursing his stupidity, warped to Fiji.
When he arrived, two nanoseconds later, only one problem remained.
"Sonic" really, desperately had to pee!
Well, thatseasy!
Problem solved!
Back to business!
He quickly found the address he had printed out of the Internet, to a shop called "Lord of Shoes!"
It was in the dirtiest end of Fiji, in what looked like a simple, one-floored and abounded warehouse.
But it was not completely abounded, since a flashing badge on the north wall said "Lord of Shoes!" in big, red letters.
He entered.
The store itself was a single, small, dark and dusty room. There where no windows, so the only light came from the set of tired lamps hanging from the ceiling, which gave the room a dark and gloomy atmosphere. It was, in "Sonics" opinion, what all stores should be like!
On shelves all around the room, there where shoes.
And not just any shoes!
These where shoes that could eat your feet, shoes you would never be able to get of, shoes that would keep you running for the rest of your life, and shoes with live fireflies inside. There were shoes that slowly drank all the blood out of your body, and shoes with lasses that would climb up your back and strangle you from behind. And it was a nice pair of shoes on the counter, which started beeping loudly whenever your sockswas stinkingtoo much!
But the only thing who interested "Sonic", was the sign next to the beeping ones, the sign saying: Custom made shoes! We will make anything, no questions asked!
He took up the tiny, golden bell standing next to the sign, and rang it.
Immediately, a tiny guy came in through a backdoor. He had long, dark hair, which covered almost his entire face. He was dressed in long black robes, but his shoes, were the most shocking shade of pink!
"Hjuuui! Kio nentara kinky tu?" he said, his voice was hoarse and dusty. (Can a voice be dusty? Oh, whatever!)
"In English, please!" "Sonic" said, desperatelly trying to take his eyes of those shoes. "I don't speak... Whatever it was you were speaking!"
"Ohh, an englishhedgehog, you are?" the guy said, grinning. "I should know! I say: Hello! You be hedgehog, but still want shoes?"
"Well, they're not for me!"
"Oh, still rare, you are!"
"I know. Now, will you take my order?"
"Oh, you want specialorder? Oh, good! Me get more paid with special! Me name be Guy! They say I am a guy. I think right they are. They also do call me Lord of Shoes! What you do want?"
"Sonic" blinked atallthis, but quickley came to his senses. "Here's my order!"he said, throwing a piece of paper on to his desk.
The guy named Guy quickly red the note, his grin growing wider by the second.
"Oh, this be hard! Be very hard! And this be expensive, too! Very! Much money for shoes, and for me, too!"
"How much?"
"Ohh, lots, yes!"
"Will this be enough?" "Sonic" said, fishing out the false Chaos Emerald he had stolen from Tails weeks ago, just because he wanted to feel what it felt to be a kleptomaniac.
"Oh, Chaos Emerald, be enoughyes!" Guy the guy said. "Give it here!"
"No, first the shoes, then the Emerald!"
"Argh, okay!" Guy grunted. " But for this, I need time! Lots time!"
"How long?" "Sonic" asked,conserne touching his voice.
"Two days!" Guy said shortly.
"Two days is much?"
"Oh, for me, that be much!"
"Fine!" "Sonic" grunted sourly.
"Come get shoes Thursday! I give you shoes, you give me stone!"
He reached out his hand.
"Fine!" "Sonic" said, grabbing Guy's hand, and closed the deal.
"That'll be fine!"
I seriously have no idea where I'm going with the shoes. (Well, maybe one,but whatever)But again, that's why I have to keep writing! I'm too curious for my own good.
I know something, though! I know whats going to happen on Friday.
But shoes? Seriously, me, get a grip!
