Chapter 13- Day 4

Liz hadn't come out of the room all day yesterday, Rouge slept in Amy's room again because she was afraid that Liz might take her anger out on her if she went back into the room.

It was late in the afternoon when she finally came out. She came down to the pool where everyone else was hanging out. She looked extremely depressed and she wasn't even wearing her classic 'paperclip necklace' she always wore.

"Hey Liz." Rogue said, "Have you been feeling a little better?"

"No." Liz said, simply.

"Well, I didn't tell the boys. I thought you might want to keep it a secret." Rouge said.

"I was planning on that. Thank you." Liz said, then she walked past Rouge over to a chair and sat down. Shadow and Sonic were sitting by the edge of the pool and Knuckles was in the water.

"Hey Liz!" Shadow said, "Where've you been?"

"Nowhere." she said, then she looked away.

"What's up with her?" Knuckles said.

"She's probably just angry that she didn't kill me with that gun." Sonic said.

"That's a good theory." Shadow said, "But she's failed at killing you loads of times and she's never been this depressed before."

"Yeah, I wonder what's going on with her." Knuckles said.

They looked at her for a moment before resuming their original conversation about pancakes.

That Night…

They attempted to have dinner that night at the restaurant and Liz, surprisingly, decided not to offer to help the chefs.

She didn't even order food! "Are you gonna be okay Liz?" Rouge whispered.

"Me? Ha! Oh yeah! I'm… great." She said.

The boys were getting worried too, especially since they didn't know what was wrong with her.

Rouge and Amy were so upset they couldn't do anything for Liz. Hannah didn't know why any of them was acting so strangely and, truth be told, she really didn't care.

Day 5…

Liz came down to breakfast with a smile on her face and her necklace back in place. She pranced around the hall like her life was absolutely perfect.

"Feeling better?" Rouge asked once she had sat down.

"I figure if I have to go, I should spend the week I have left without it having fun." Liz said smiling.

"Well, you have three more days." Rouge reminded her.

"DAMN! Then I guess I'll just have to ramp up the fun!" Liz said, then she ran off towards the buffet.

Later…

Liz and Rouge came out of the dining hall laughing and covered in syrup, as Shadow had picked up a container of hot syrup and dumped it on the girls during the food fight.

"This'll take a long time to get out!" Liz said holding up her hair.

Hannah and Amy weren't nearly as happy about it as Liz and Rouge.

They stormed past the laughing girls to their rooms screaming insults at Shadow.

Shadow came past them, doubled over with laughter, "That was… the best food fight ever!" He said.

Then he stumbled into his room where Hannah was waiting for him-

WHAM!

Apparently Hannah had gotten hold of a frying pan… this made Liz and Rouge laugh even more.

Sonic and Knuckles came by them, "Glad you're feeling better." Sonic said.

Liz looked at him with her evil smile.

Sonic knew where this was going and he ran screaming down the hallway.

Liz chased after him, tearing off her paperclip necklace, "YOU MUST DIE!" she screamed holding it in the air.

"Hey, check it out! We're alone!" Knuckles said putting his arm around Rouge-

"Knuckles, are you okay?"

Knuckles opened his eyes, "Where's Rouge?" he asked.

"She just ran away…" Tails said, "She hit you pretty hard."

Knuckles sat up and spit out some of his teeth, "Oh, I've been hit harder…"

Later…

Sonic, Shadow, and Tails sat near the edge of the pool while the girls were getting a tan. (not that it would matter since they all had fur…)

Knuckles was up in a tree with binoculars watching Rouge get a tan and drooling… what a pervert!

Liz was nowhere to be found.

The boys were talking about whatever boys usually talk about.

Then suddenly Liz jumped from the water!

Sonic watched as she tried to drown Shadow, "Uh, Liz… wrong hedgehog." Tails said.

"Tails! Why'd you have to tell her that!" Sonic shouted.

Liz looked at the hedgehog in her arms and realized that it was in fact, Shadow. So she released him and made a desperate grab at Sonic, but Sonic had already run away.

Shadow didn't drown because he was close enough to the wall that he could pull himself out.

"Dammit!" Liz shouted, then she swam off.

"She's definitely back to normal." Tails said smiling.
