The next few hours Palutena did nothing other than searching for Sonic. She searched everywhere for him. At least everywhere he could have been. But no luck.
After hours have passed she stopped in the hallway. "What am I doing?", she asked herself. "Well, guess it's natural. But when Sonic isn't here then defently on a date with Amy." "Date? With Amy? Never!", somebody suddenly said. "But why it interests you anyway? You're not curious about this actually."
The goddes turned around with a suprised look on her face. It was him-Sonic. "Hey Pal", he greeted her, a bit too late.
Actually Sonic didn't call the Goddess of Light not by her full name, just with a nickname he gave her. When they introduced to each other the hedgehog came up with this idea after he heard her name. He said Palutena sounds a bit boring and is also too long. Pal is shorter and sounded better for his ears. And actually also Palutena liked this name he came up with.
"Greetings Sonic", she greeted back. "Where were you?"
"I was at the arcade."
"Really? Why didn't I see you there then?"
"Better question: Why you should enter the arcade Pal?"
"I searched everywhere for you."
"Really? Why? Is it because..."
Palutena just starred while Sonic made a long break. "No, it can't be", he said then. "A goddess would never have a crush on me." Palutena sighed in her toughts. "Actually you WANTED to guess right", she tought. "I don't know if I should be glad or not."
But she didn't show her actual reaction. She just stayed calm and smiled. "Why that?", she asked him. "It could still be." "Meh. I don't think so", Sonic answerd. "There would be no chance. Even if I'll wish it wouldn't happen. Too much range difference."
"That's not a reason."
"Well yes, but... I stay at my mind! never going to happen!"
"If you say so."
Actually the goddess was a bit suprised. The first time they talk about this sort of thing. But also she was a bit disappointed that the blue hedgehog tought this way. Because this isn't true at all. There is a goddess who likes him a lot-Palutena herself. But she doesn't have to tell now.
"Anyway... What is with me and Amy?", he asked. "Huh? Oh, right. About that", she began. "I heard that you two are dating and..." But she didn't have to say more. His face told it all. She can stop right there.
"We're not", the hedgehog answerd. "We're just friends. But Amy thinks we are and told it everyone here. Also she tries to act like that, but it remembers me more of a fangirl. But there's noting, I swear!" "Oh, I understand", Pal said. "So you're giving her false hopes? How cruel of you! I didn't except that."
"What... No! I wanted to explain but... I also don't want to hurt her feelings."
"That's giving someone false hopes."
"Actually I meant explaining to her without that she gets heartbroken or driving mad."
"Oh, that's why. I completly understand you Sonic."
Actually Palutena wanted to say that Sonic should make the cut, but she also saw how mad the pink hedgehog can drive. Very mad. She remmebered it very well.
Sonic was just talking to Zelda, a normal conversation. Amy thought he flirts with her because the princess of Hyrule was laughing, also the hedgehog. So she went between them and chased Sonic through the whole Smash-Mansion. Also she attacked Zelda and chased her. It didn't end very well, at least not for Sonic. He had to go to 's restroom.
"But why are you asking Pal?" "Just curious, nothing more. I wanted your statement before I belive the others with that. How you see it."
"I see. And I wondered myself. But since you asked there actually is someone else I started to like very much."
The green haired goddess starred at Sonic. Suprised. "Why are you telling ME thius?", she asked. "We're not that close." "Really? Aren't we friends at least? Or do YOU want it becomes more?" He started to grin a bit. "Um... No! Why are you saying that when you think that a goddess could never have a crush on you!", she almost shouted, a bit emberassed. Actually she never was, tis was the first time. Silence.
"Just wanted to make sure", he said and laughed a bit. "Sorry Pal. I wanted to make a bit fun." "So that means you also lied with...", Palutena wanted to ask, but then Sonic stopped laughing and got serious again.
"Not, that was no lie. There really is someone", he said. "But I won't tell you who. Maybe you will find out by yourself." Than he truned away. "See ya!", he said and went off.
Palutena just stood there, no saying a "Good Bye" back like she usually does.
"So there is someone?", she tought not moving away. She tought, and tought. Tought for a few minutes.
"I would lie if I wouldn't say I'm very curious about his love interest", the goddess said to herself. "Actually it could be me." But than she tought about her sentence.
"Probably not. But I will find out my cursh's crush! It souldn't be so hard!", she said a bit to loud, almost screamed. You could hear her down the hallway, but she didn't register-
"What did you say?", somebody suddenly asked suprised. "I said I'm going to find out who Sonic's real love interest is", she answerd without noticing.
"Don't make you false hopes by yourself. He's my boyfriend."
"Well Amy, but he stated that...", then she stopped and got shocked. She turned around very slowly. Than she noticed... It really WAS Amy.
"What did he stated?", the pink hedgehog asked. She could get mad every minute. "Umm... Well... About that...", the goddess just brought out that. More she couldn't say.
"Is he trying to cheat on me?", Amy yelled a bit. Her voice didn't sound friendly at all. "Maybe... You're involved?" "I don't know what are you saying", Pal said a bit nervous.
"Oh, don't lie to me. He said that he wants to cheat on me with you!"
"N... No! He... He just told me that... That..."
"What?", Amy asked furious and raised an eyebrow. From minute to minute she got more mad, Palutena could tell. But... Wait... How about teasing the female hedgehog a bit? That should do.
"Please calm down Amy. That's not good for you health", she began a bit playfully. "I can understand why he gets annoyed of you and found someone else. If you keep acting like this he leaves you. Or he already did." "W... WHat?", the hedgehog said shocked, very shocked. "No... No way!"
"I should know the best you know."
"Why? You're just saying that out of nowhere!"
"Nope. I really know. Or lets say I heard that", the goddess continued in a little, provocative ton first, but then gasped after that. What she's doing? She's talking to Amy like a rival! Actually just now she noticed that she overdid this tease a little bit. No, the pink hedgehog will misunderstand!
"I don't know why I'm feeling glad about that!", she tought. "Maybe yes, we would be... No, we're rivals, even when she doesn't noticed the crush yet, but... It feels like I'm challenging her!"
"War excepted", Amy suddenly spoke out. The goddess looked puzzeled at the hedgehog. What did she just say? She took it serious?
"Seems like you want to take Sonic away from me, but that won't happen! Never!" While this Rose pointed to her. "I hear your rivality out! Even when you're a goddes, I am more challanging when it goes about Sonic!" "What... Amy, wat! I didn't mean actually starting a...", she wanted to explain, but got inturrupted by:"But you were thinking it! And also I will look for a few hints about his 'crush' and win him back! You'll see!"
"But if you want a war I also have to accept and..."
"Why? No need. YOU challanged ME. So you have to accept it, if you want or not. Until next time freaky goddess. I'll think about an attack to break your defense." And then she walked away without saying anything back. Palutena stood there again. She said nothing until Amy way away, out of her sight.
"What have I done?", she wispered to herself. "But I will have no choice. I have to fight with her about my crush. I also have to say that this is a bit emebrassing. This missunderstanding."
