"5 Years Without You…"
By MJ the Seal
Chapter 8
A Christmas Flashback and Tangy
"Another day...another round of missing Shadow…" MJ thought as she was chained to the wall in the torture chamber. She knew she should've been more worried about what was going to happen to her, but still…the pain of missing Shadow would never go away. A cold chill filled the chamber through the iron bared windows. Just because time never seemed to pass in the base didn't mean time didn't pass out in the world which everyone so longed to return to.
"I can't believe it's December again…" MJ signed. She ever had a real Christmas until she met Kilala and everyone because her parents died when she was very young and her older brother left her for reasons unknown. But she remembered when she had her first Christmas party with Shadow and everyone else.
Flashback
It was a clear starry night on Christmas Eve and MJ was helping Kilala set up decorations for the party that was going to be held in a few minutes.
"So this is your first Christmas with Shadow huh, MJ?" Kilala asked as she flew up to hang a banner over the doorway.
"Yeah…why?" MJ replied as she climbed up a ladder to hang up some mistletoe.
"No reason…so…what'd you get him?" Kilala questioned as she grabbed another box of decorations and placed it back in the closet.
"Well…if you really want to know…I got him a-" MJ was cut off as the doorbell rang. She was startled and began wobbling on the ladder. Kilala didn't notice because she opened the door under the ladder.
"Hey guys welcome to the party!" Kilala greeted as Tails, Sonic, and Amy came into the room.
"Are we the first ones here?" Amy asked as she let go of Sonic who she was clinging to.
"Yup! Me and MJ are still decorating." Kilala answered still not noticing that MJ was about to fall off the ladder. A/n: I was talking to Jena when I typed this, and she was like GO KILALA GO! LOL!
"EEEKK!" MJ screamed as she fell off the ladder. She was waiting to hit the floor, but she never did. She opened her eyes to see Shadow holding her and she began to blush and wonder when he got into the room.
"You okay MJ?" Shadow asked as he put her down on the floor while MJ began to blush furiously.
"Y-yeah…thanks for catching me…" MJ stuttered as she looked down at the floor while dusting her pants off. She saw Kilala smiling at her and gave Kilala a puzzled look. Kilala pointed up and then…something clicked… MJ looked up. She had just realized what she had done.
Up on the doorway was Mistletoe
She had put the Mistletoe up there
And now Shadow and her were standing right underneath it
MJ quickly looked at Kilala and gave her a sign to keep quiet, but the look on Kilala's face just screamed she was going to tell everybody.
"MJ AND SHADOW ARE UNDER THE MISTLETOE!" Kilala announced. Everybody immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at MJ and Shadow. MJ began to blush furiously and angrily glare at Kilala and Shadow just had no clue what was going on. Sonic and Knuckles had instantly pulled out their video cameras which appeared out of nowhere and began to tape the embarrassing moment. Everyone else just smirked or smiled.
"What the heck is mistletoe?" Shadow asked and everyone in the room just stared at him in shock except MJ who was nearly about to jump for joy due to Shadow's cluelessness.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!" Amy screamed as she nearly ran over and shook Shadow, but didn't due to the fact she would have to kiss him later. "A MISTLETOE IS THE BEST PART OF CHRISTMAS!" everyone just sweatdropped and gave Amy a No-it's-not look.
"Mistletoe is a small um…plant I guess…that is used during Christmas." Tails began to explain. "When 2 people stand under the mistletoe it means that…well…." Tails began to fiddle with his fingers and rock back and forth not wanting Shadow to hurt him later.
"They have to kiss." Sonic said as he smirked at Shadow. Shadow just glared at him and then turned back over to MJ.
"Hey where's MJ?" Shadow asked as everyone just noticed that MJ had disappeared.
"She must've gotten cold feet." Kilala said as she looked behind the couch for MJ. Unknown to everyone else MJ was hiding in the hallway waiting for someone to turn the corner.
"Here comes somebody…" MJ thought as she readied her hand. Sonic turned around the corner into the hallway and MJ immediately shot a snowball from her hand right into his face.
"ACK SNOW!" Sonic shouted as he began to rub the snow off his face.
"TAKE THAT!" MJ yelled as she began to shoot snowballs at pretty much everyone in the room.
"I DECLARIST THOUGHST BATTLE THY SNOWBALL FIGHT!" Knuckles announced as he grabbed some of the snow outside and began to pummel anybody that tried to hit him. Everyone started to throw snowballs at each other but MJ was the best due to her snow powers.
"Alright just one more shot and-" MJ stopped aiming for Kilala from behind the couch. Something blocked her lips from moving…
Shadow had kissed her.
Shadow stopped kissing her and MJ just stared at him, her hand still raised to shoot a snowball in Kilala's face.
"Shadow why did you just…" MJ trailed off as her face began to turn red.
"We were standing under the mistletoe remember?" Shadow said as he grabbed a snowball off the floor. "So I was just doing what I had to do." Shadow threw the snowball and it hit Sonic in the eye.
"Thank you Shadow…and Merry Christmas…" MJ whispered to him as she began to hug him. "That was everything I could ask for…"
End Flashback
"Shadow…I promise to pay you back this year…for everything you've done for me…"
The Next Day
Shadow, Maya, and Inferno were walking towards the city town that was located on the map. Due to Maya being the only person who could read a map in the group, Shadow and Inferno were just following behind her.
"How much longer till we reach this place anyway…I'm starving…" Inferno complained as he rubbed his stomach in hunger and gave a small groan.
"We just ate 30 minutes ago how could you be hungry!" Maya asked in amazement as she looked down once more at the map. "Anyway the Circus Plaza is just up ahead look for your self." Inferno and Shadow looked up ahead and saw a huge town. It had a big orange blimp and a circus tent in the middle and a huge statue was in the middle of the town. Surrounding the Plaza of the town were shops, houses, and food venders. Everything was covered in Neon lights and flashing signs making the whole town look like a Circus type place. People of all kinds were buying and selling things near the circus tent where most of the action seemed to be and a blanket of snow covered the rooftops, trees, and stone paved streets of the town.
"Whoa…this place is huge!" Inferno exclaimed as his eyes stared at the bright city below. "Wish I lived here…"
"C'mon we have to find the next Emerald." Shadow said as he began to walk further ahead towards the busy town. A few minutes later the trio entered the town and began to gaze at the place called Circus Plaza.
"Well…the map doesn't say anything else except that the emerald is in this town…so we're going to have to look on our own." Maya admitted as she closed the map and signed.
"HIYA PEOPLE!" the trio nearly fell over as they heard someone shout in their ear. "WELCOME TO CIRCUS PLAZA! You need help with anything! Lost, need food, water, do you wanna go to the CIRCUS TENT!" A female orange monkey, wearing a white shirt that said "Weird Sisters" on it and a blue skirt with pink shoes, and brown eyes asked.
"Who exactly are you?" Shadow asked and the monkey girl began to sit on her tail.
"I'm Tangy one of the acts in the Circus tent but the boss told me to get more customers so…WILL YA COME!" Tangy asked yet again as she did a backflip and a fancy pose.
"YOU BET AS LONG AS THEY GOT GOOD FOOD!" Inferno cheered and Tangy jumped for joy.
"OKAY HERE WE GO!" Tangy grabbed the trio's hands and dragged them to the circus while singing a song.
There are no bananas in the sky! In the sky!
There are no bananas in the sky! In the sky!
There's a sun and a moon and a coconut pie!
But there are no bananas in the sky! In the sky!
There are no strawberries in the rain! In the rain!
There are no strawberries in the rain! In the rain!
There's thunder and lightning and a choo choo train!
But there are no strawberries in the rain! In the rain!
There are no pears in the dirt! In the dirt!
There are no pears in the dirt! In the dirt!
There's ground and worms and Papa Smurf!
But there are no pears in the dirt! In the dirt!
"WILL YOU SHUT UP?" The trio screamed before Tangy could sing the next verse.
"You don't like my random song? Weirdos" Tangy said as she rolled her eyes.
