A Haze in my Day chapter 5

MSL: Aw guys! You make me feel so special! Thanks for the reviews!

Chocola: Um… whatever. MSL doesn't own anything of Sonic.

HSB: Yup. Anyway, on with the story!

A Haze in my Day

Previously

Knuckles pulled his covers closer to him. 'Dammit, I do like her! Uh-oh… Shadow's gonna kill me if he finds out...'

Soon after, Knuckles fell asleep.

Shadow woke up to the sound of rain. He blinked a couple times to clear the fog in his eyes. After a few minutes, he finally gathered enough strength to get out of bed and threw the covers off.

Shadow walked out of his room and made his way downstairs and into the kitchen. He always got up early to avoid people because he just liked to be alone. He walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table.

Shadow was still a little freaked out about yesterday. Like finding out he has a long lost sister. And now that he thought about it, Espio was staring at Tails. And… the fact Rouge kissed him!

Shadow touched his lips. Why did she do that? And why did he like it? He got snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a cheerful "Morning Shady!"

Shadow squeezed his eyes shut and said, "Whoever it is, I'm not in the mo— Shadow immediately closed his mouth when he saw Rouge in a silk, lavender robe. She flashed him a big grin.

"You just get up?" He stared at her for a second and then replied, "Yes."

Rouge walked into the kitchen and turned on the stove and started boiling water. Behind her, Shadow was looking at… her butt.

'She has a nice ass…' Shadow thought, not realizing his mouth was hanging open and drool was spilling all over his legs. He finally realized when Rouge was about to turn around. He quickly shut his mouth and wiped up the drool. Rouge walked to the fridge and took out a few eggs and cracked them in a pan and they started sizzling. He noticed that grin was still on her face.

"Rouge, why are you unbelievably happy today?" Rouge raised her eye brows.

"I'm always happy Shady. I'm just in a very good mood today." She grinned. Shadow just gave her an odd look, but then suddenly realized something.

"Are… are you wearing anything… under that robe?" Shadow asked, pausing a couple times. Rouge stared into space shocked for a moment, but then that sly smile came back to her face. She tried to suppress her giggles, but ended up chuckling a couple times.

"Oh, only this." Rouge opened her robe and showed Shadow she was wearing a thin red tank top and purple underwear. Shadow's eyes widened and he immediately started choking on the spit he had in his mouth. Rouge couldn't help but laugh out loud a couple times and then tied her robe back up.

Shadow's choking lowered to coughing and then he just stopped altogether. He was breathing heavily until Rouge set a plate of scrambled eggs with hot sauce on it and a cup of green tea.

"Enjoy Shady! And I suggest you drink the tea 'cause you've been lookin' a little pale this morning." She walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

Shadow glanced at his breakfast and started eating. It really wasn't half bad. In fact, it tasted really good. He noticed it finally stopped raining. But outside in its place was a haze.

'How… strange. And damn, Rouge is sexy.' Shadow thought before going back to eating.

Later that Day

By then everyone was up and just talking to each other about stuff. Mainly, everyone was in the living room chatting until Sonic said something strange.

"Sorry girls, you all have to leave the room." He smirked at the other guys. "It's guy talk." Tails breath caught in 'his' throat when 'he' heard those words. Rouge look at Tails and shrugged sadly. Tails got up and tried to follow the other girls out of the room, but Sonic stopped 'him'.

"Hey Tails, you don't have to go. Only the girls do." Tails mentally gulped and tried to smile but it looked really fake. Fortunately, Sonic was being too naïve at the moment to notice. Tails just sighed and went to the couch and sat by Sonic.

"So Sonic…" Shadow began unenthusiastically. "What did you have in mind to talk about?" Knuckles, Espio, Vector and Charmy were there too.

"Well…" Sonic pretended to think for a moment. "I had a really freaky dream last night. Here, I'll tell you about it."

Sonic's Dream

Sonic was walking around in Frog Forest looking at the beautiful scenery. He finally made it to a cliff—

Interruption of Dream

"Sonic!" Knuckles yelled hotly. "This dream is stupid! Why the hell should we listen to it?"

"Knux, calm down. You didn't even let me get to the best part!" Sonic replied a little annoyed. Knuckles sighed in defeat.

"Fine, finish the stupid dream." Sonic grinned and continued on.

Back to Sonic's Dream

He finally made it to a cliff and noticed the sky was gray and cloudy. Sonic suddenly heard a rumbling noise and turn around to see Eggman in a gigantic robot. Sonic glared at Eggman who only laughed like a maniac in return. Sonic then tried to run at Eggman's robot, but he couldn't run. Eggman smirked and then grabbed Sonic with a giant claw. He held him right over the cliff and threatened to drop him. Suddenly, a female ran swiftly at Eggman and broke the robot in half sending Eggman flying through the air. The female hurried and was able to grab Sonic before he fell.

"Who are you?" Sonic asked curiously. The female simply chuckled.

"You know who I am." She stated plainly. The rain was drizzling on them now.

"I do?" Sonic asked absentmindedly. The female smiled serenely at Sonic. He smiled back at her. She then leaned in to kiss Sonic but that's when Sonic woke up.

End of Dream

"I think it means something." Tails said while staring into space. Sonic looked at 'him' hopefully and replied, "Really? What does it mean?" Tails shrugged.

"I dunno, I just think it means something." Knuckles rolled his eyes but then saw Espio glancing at Tails yet again.

"Ok Espio, what's up? Why do you keep looking at Tails?" Espio only muttered "um".

"Espio," Sonic began and he sure was fuming like mad. "Tails doesn't swing that way." Espio caught on to why Sonic was mad.

"HEY! I'm not gay! I like women." Espio slumped a little in his chair. There was silence until Knuckles said, "Sonic that still was lame." Sonic rolled his eyes and replied, "Well, I'm sorry but not everyone has to be a tough guy like you."

Knuckles grinned. "Oh, am I too tough for you Sonic?" Sonic shuddered for a moment but then thought of a weird comeback.

"Well, maybe I'm not… but Tails will be!" Tails snapped out of 'his' gaze at the wall then glanced oddly at Sonic.

"Come again?" Sonic then rushed over to Tails and started patting 'his'… chest area.

"Yeah Knux, just you wait! Tails will have stronger muscles than you! Err… Tails, are you ok?" Sonic removed his hand and looked at a very, very pale Tails.

"Tails?" Sonic asked again, getting a little anxious. Espio was silently punching himself in the chair. Tails then barely squeaked out, "I'm fine" and nearly fainted on the couch. Sonic was still a little concerned for Tails, but shrugged it off. Shadow was sitting in a dark corner enjoying the silence until everyone in the room heard, "Hey Shadow!"

A pink blur zoomed into the room and jumped on to Shadow and forcefully knocking him out of the chair and on the rug.

"What the…?" The pink blur to out to be his sister Haze grinning at him and everyone in the room was staring at Shadow who was lying on his back on the rug.

"Hey Shad," Haze began cheerfully. "I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today!" Knuckles couldn't help but blush a little due to the fact she was wearing black shorts with a purple tank top.

"You just knocked me out of a damn chair and you want to HANG OUT?" Shadow yelled. Haze, who was still grinning, nodded her head rapidly. Shadow stared at her incredulously.

"Um… did you have too much coffee or something?" Haze looked thoughtful for a second, and then shook her head a little calmer this time.

"Nope, when I was created, too much of the emotion 'happiness' was put in. Now I'm just happy all the time!" She started jumping around like a weird person.

"…What?" Shadow asked, looking at her in disbelief. Haze stopped and replied, "Yup, on the planet I was residing on, there were magic potions…" She noticed the looks on their faces. "No, not like in those corny fairytales… but anyway, I was created with bottled emotions by the leader of Planet Blitzoid. Then he accidentally poured too much 'happiness' in, and we all hopefully know that the emotion 'happiness' mixes in with 'hyper'! Isn't dat some cool stuff?" Everyone stared at her, then for some strange reason, nodded.

"But how did Blitzoid know about us?" Knuckles queried. Sonic raised an eyebrow at him. Haze turned her attention to him, and slightly blushed.

"He's psychic. He's has the past, present and future written down in a few weird books of his… it's really strange." She then turned her attention back to Shadow.

"So are we hangin' out?" She asked eagerly. Shadow tried to give her his 'death glare' but ended up with Haze falling on her knees and crying. Shadow stood up, looking at her shocked.

"Oh Shad!" She sniffled. "I only wanna hang out with you because… because I never was here to!" She started sobbing very, very loudly. Vector glared at Shadow.

"Dude! She's on her knees crying! At least do the girl a favor!" Shadow blinked, and then let out a loud sigh.

"Alright, alright. I'll hang out with you." Haze suddenly jumped up, seemingly happy now.

"You will? Thanks! I'll get my cape!" She then zipped out of the room, leaving Shadow shocked yet again. He realized what just happened.

"Did she… did she just fake me out?" Shadow asked slowly. Knuckles was grinning at Haze's performance.

"Seems that way…" He immediately stopped smiling and actually got a little intimidated when Shadow eyed him suspiciously at him.

"Yeah… well, I'm gonna go." Shadow said, still eyeing Knuckles. He walked out of the room to go get Haze. Sonic let out a laugh.

"Yeah Knux, you're so tough", and then laughed again. Knuckles started flaring with anger.

"What the hell is so funny?" Knuckles yelled. He then mentally gulped. Did Sonic find out that he liked Haze?

"You should have seen the look on your face when Shadow glared at you! The look on your face was frigging priceless!" Sonic burst out laughing. When no one was looking, Tails slowly got up and left the room.

Tails walked into the kitchen and then down to the basement where Haze and Rouge were talking. Haze took notice of Tails.

"Hey Tails! … Well, actually bye to both of you! I'm gonna go hang out with my brother!" Haze ran out of the basement. Tails sat down beside Rouge on the couch. Rouge glanced at Tails and began to worry a little bit when she noticed Tails was looking a little pale.

"Tails, are you okay?" Tails tried to smile until 'he' started freaking out a little. 'He' threw 'his' arms around Rouge and whispered loudly, "Sonic touched my chest!" Rouge at first didn't seem troubled until her eyes widened in horror realization.

"Why?"

"He was trying to prove a stupid point!"

Rouge sighed. Leave it to Sonic to be stupid like that.

"Tails calm down. I don't think this situation could get any worse or weirder."

Tails sniffed. "Really?"

Of course, when someone says that, chances are it is going to get weirder or worse. Well, Rouge did say that.
