Chapter 11(Part 2)
Jenn's POV
I watched Black Neo leave and I sighed happily. I walked down the hall and decided to spread my happiness with everyone. I went to James' room and was about to knock on the door, but decided against it. I walked back down the hall and paced for about an hour, wondering what Neo was going to look like as a hedgehog. I went outside and sat down on the bench where I sat for the whole night waiting.
The next morning I woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose, smart Jenn, smart. I sat up and rubbed my aching head. I yawned and went inside for something quick to eat, then went back to my spot on the bench. I coughed and shivered. Stupid cold, stupid colds I grumbled to myself inwardly. I sat there all day as well to meet Black Neo when he came.
I sat there for a total of 24 hours before I finally realized he comes in through my room window, not the front door! I grumbled and headed up to my room, shivering. I opened the door and saw him sitting there, tapping his foot. I coughed and closed the door behind me, "Sorry I made you wait sweetie…I forgot you come in through the window…I waited outside for you" I sneezed, covering my mouth. He sighed,
"It's alright…I see you caught a cold" he said, looking me over. I nodded and sat at the edge of the bed,
"Yea…"I sniffled, "I'm sorry…" I looked down.
"Its okay" he assured me, wrapping a blanket around my shoulders, "Now you need to rest" he said, laying me down on the bed. I looked up at him and shook my head,
"I don't want to…I want to spend time with you…" I pouted. He chuckled and laid down beside me, his warm body close to mine,
"You are going to spend time with me in bed" he joked. I stuck out my tongue at him,
"You're so funny…" I giggled. He shrugged and put an arm around me, holding me close to him, holding my head against his chest,
"You got to be funny sometimes…if not life's not fun" he smirked. I smiled and kissed him softly, feeling a odd sensation in my stomach, one I had not felt before. It felt almost like butterflies. He kissed me back and stroked my hair, "You know, this emotional stuff isn't so bad when you come to thing of it" he said. I nodded and closed my eyes,
"No it's not…so what do I call you now that you're a furry just like me?" I asked him. He thought for a moment, then shrugged,
"How about Neo or Nicky, whichever you prefer" he replied. I smiled and kissed his cheek softly,
"Neo sounds like a cute name" I giggled. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me,
"So where's my present?" he teased. I grinned and reached under my bed, pulling out a wrapped box. He took it and opened it, finding a knitted green Christmas sweater. He stared at it, his eye slightly twitching, "It's…nice" he lied. I grinned up at him,
"Try it on" I stuck my tongue out. He made a face, and then slipped it over his head. He looked so adorable in it! I giggled and hugged him, "Aww what a cutie you are…why don't you go show it to everybody?" He looked at me, his eye twitching,
"Not a chance" he replied. I frowned,
"But…but…please? I loves you…" I pouted. He sighed and got up,
"Come on then" he grumbled and took my hand. I giggled and walked out with him,
"I need to deliver more presents" I smiled. He smiled slightly and walked over to Shadows room with me. I opened it and walked in, leaving Nicky behind. I walked over to Shadow, "Merry Christmas!" I held out a box similar to the one I gave Neo. He looked at it, and then opened it, a red sweater identical to the one I gave Neo. He smiled slightly,
"Thanks…" he replied, putting the sweater on. I giggled and skipped out, going to Mephiles' room. I gave him the same sweater, but pink. He loved it and put it on, turning back to his normal form, like Shadow, but with pale blue streaks. Woot, triplets. I ran to James' room and gave him a sweater, but blue. He looked at it weird,
"Umm…I already have a sweater…" he held up a white sweater with a large heart on it. I pouted,
"Wear it for me please?" I pleaded, "Just for a couple of minutes…" He refused to put it on, so I pulled it over his head and tied his hands so he couldn't take it off. "a couple of minutes…" I said to him and led him outside in the hall where Neo, Mephiles and Shadow were standing. James glared at Shadow, then at me. I giggled and pushed them together, quickly taking a couple of pictures and then untied James. He grumbled and shot a glare at me. I frowned and kissed his cheek,
"Come on…where's your Christmas spirit?" I asked him. He lifted off the shirt and tossed it,
"Not in a sweater" he warned. I frowned and turned away,
"Ok…sorry I bothered you James…I love you my friend…" I apologized. He sighed,
"I love you too…" he grumbled. I smiled and hugged him,
"You're so cute" I teased. He stuck his tongue out at me. I grinned at him, "Don't stick it out unless you're gonna use it" I joked. He smirked at me,
"Do you really want me to?" he asked. I blushed a deep red,
"Umm…I…uh…" I stuttered. His smirk grew wider. I blushed a deeper red and looked away. He patted my head,
"Its okay" he assured me. I looked at him and stuck my tongue out. He stuck his own out and poked mine with it. I blushed and heard Neo growl. I touched Neo's arm,
"Its okay sweetheart…he's not doing anything wrong…he's just being a pest" I teased a James. James shrugged,
"Hey, you encouraged me" he said. I stuck out my tongue again,
"You enjoyed it" I teased, like he always does to me. He put his hands up in front of him,
"I never said I didn't, but your boyfriend might have a little problem with that" he replied. I looked over at Neo and his eye was twitching slightly. I giggled,
"Aww are you jealous Neo Weo?" I asked, smirking. He grumbled and crossed his arms over his chest, looking away. I giggled again, "Aww c'mon cheer up…it's Christmas!" I wrapped my arms around his neck. He looked at me and a small smile formed on his face, wrapping his arms around me and holding me tightly. I coughed a little, "Can't…breathe…squeezing…" I gasped. He quickly let me go, realizing he was hurting me,
"Sorry dear…I guess I don't know my own-" he was quickly cut off by James,
"That's the oldest line ever…if you use it you're a noob!" he pointed a finger at Neo. He raised a brow at James,
"Noob? What is a 'noob'?" he asked. James rolled his eyes,
"You don't know what a noob is? Look in a mirror, you'll see the biggest one around!" he said sarcastically. Neo growled and turned away, huffing. I frowned,
"Guys…why can't you get along?" I asked them. James turned to me,
"Because we're men….well, most of us are…" he said looking over at Neo. Neo grumbled,
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that…" he muttered. I went over to James and kissed his cheek,
"So you did enjoy me teasing you?" I smirked. He shrugged,
"Maybe, maybe not. I'm not telling" he grinned. I grinned evilly and pounced on James, pinning him to the ground. James chuckled, "Oh Ne-" he was cut off by my lips meeting his. He slowly slid his tongue into my mouth. I blushed and did the same, eyeing Neo. Neo looked over and snorted,
"What are you doing?" he asked me. I blushed and pulled away,
"I…I…I couldn't help it…I mean…" I stuttered. He steamed,
"Jenn…get off of him and I will forgive you…stay on him and I'll kill him" he growled. I got off and helped James up, going back to kiss him. James stopped me for a second and then suddenly had a beer in his hand, handing it to Neo,
"Here hold my beer, while I kiss your girlfriend" he said, grabbing my collar and kissing me hard. All I heard was glass shatter and a booming voice from behind me,
"YOU'RE MINE! NOW UNHAND MY GIRLFRIEND OR I'LL KILL YOU" he warned, snarling. James stopped for a second, looking over at Neo, then went back to kissing me. I giggled and pulled away from James after a while,
"Okay, okay let's not get Neo madder then he already is…" I giggled. James sighed,
"Oh okay" he said, turning to walk away. I frowned and hugged him from behind. "Will you quit making your boyfriend jealous" he chuckled. I blushed,
"He's not my boyfriend…he didn't even ask me out yet" I pouted. I looked over at Neo and saw him almost looking like he was going to cry. I frowned and went over to him, "I'm sorry honey…but it's true…" He looked up at me, then pulled me down and hugged me tightly. I smiled and hugged him back. I heard James pacing behind me. I looked over and I heard him shout,
"THE ROBOTS GOT A SOFT SPOT!" and he then covered his mouth. Neo seemed to ignore him for once and continued to hug me. I giggled and helped Neo up,
"How about we all go out for some hot chocolate.? My treat!" I asked, grinning. James shook his head,
"If I have any more sugar I'll be Hyper James-" he joked. I grinned and before he could finish his sentence I dragged him off to the cafeteria. I turned back and sighed, noticing he was gone. I sat down at a table and sighed deeply. I heard footsteps from behind me and turned around. I saw Neo standing in front of me with a box of some sort. I took it and opened it. There was a note inside and it read:
'Will you go out with me?' and it had a golden locket beside it with my name engraved into it. I picked up the locket and tears filled my eyes, "Yes…I will!" I jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly. This was going to be the best New Years ever.
James' POV
For those of you wondering, I warped to Rouge's door after Jenn had tried to drag me to the cafeteria. It wasn't because of her, it was just I didn't want to bug Neo anymore, but he was just so easy to pick on that it was tempting. I sighed and knocked on her door. I waited for about 3 minutes before she answered. I looked at her and she was only half dressed when she answered the door. When she looked up and saw it was me, I could see the relief in her face. I smiled at her and she smiled back. She opened the door and I walked in and sat on her bed. I heard her lock the door behind me. I looked over and saw her go over to her dresser. She took off her shirt she had pulled on to answer to the door. She tossed it on top of her dresser and pulled out a pair of pink pajamas. She walked over and sat beside me. The fabric of her pajamas was soft and warm; they felt like they had just been taken out of the wash and smelled just as good. I laid my head on hers as she leaned against my chest. She looked up at me and grinned.
"You're all sweaty" she teased. She sat up and waved her hand gesturing that I smelt bad. I sniffed a bit and then shook my head at the smell. I looked over at her.
"Mind if I take a shower?" I asked her. She shook her head and got up
"I'll lend you a pair of pajamas for tonight" she assured me. I smiled at her and she smiled back. I went into the bathroom and got undressed. I set the water so it was warm, but wouldn't burn off my skin. I stepped into the shower and let the water poor onto me. I shut my eyes. The water felt nice. I thought for a bit and heard foot steps. I thought it was just Rouge picking up my clothes for the wash, but I soon felt her creep up behind me. I turned and looked. She had undressed and was now in the shower with me. She wrapped her arms around me and laid her head on my shoulder. I rubbed my head against hers and I could have sworn she was purring. We stood like that for awhile, but it didn't feel like it was long enough.
When we finally got out of the shower, I had given Rouge a kiss on the head. I looked over and saw Rouge had pulled out her black gown and had got me a pair of light blue boxer shorts. I pulled them on and watched her pull on the gown. Even after everything I had done with Rouge, I still felt a blush cross my face seeing her in the gown. She looked at me and giggled. I went over to the coach and sat down. She was coming to sit with me, when there was a knock at the door. She walked over and peeked out. She giggled and opened the door. My eyes widened when I saw Amy walk in, carrying two suit cases. I blinked and looked at Rouge.
"Oh, did I forget to tell you?" she teased "Amy and I are room mates now" she giggled. I blushed as Amy set the suit cases on top of Rouge's dresser and poured her clothes into an empty drawer. I saw a few outfits that looked like Rouge's gown and another that looked rather erotic. I gulped a bit and turned away when Amy started to remove her dress. Rouge walked over to me and tilted her head "Would you like to stay here too?" she asked "Or we could all pitch in to get an apartment together" she asked me. I thought for a moment. Amy, Rouge and I all in our own place; no GUN bugging us, no Neo or Shadow or Knuckles. I looked up at her and our eyes met. I could tell she knew my answer as she giggled. I watched her look over at Amy and Amy smiled and ran over hugging me, now dressed in a gown like Rouge's, only tinted pink. Rouge smiled and walked over to me. Amy helped me up and the two of them led me over to the bed. They laid me down and each one laid on either side of me. I watched and soon drifted to sleep with them. That's right no sex you sick perverts!
Morning came and woke me up. Rouge and Amy had already woken up and were packing. I got up and found that Rouge had folded me a black T-shirt and blue pants over the couch. I got dressed and gave them each a good morning kiss. I told them I was going to tell Jenn what was happening and they agreed. As I left I felt one of them pat my back end. I went to Jenn's room and knocked on her door. She answered with a hug smile on her face
"You rang?" she joked. I smirked
"Is your Neo awake yet?" I asked her
"No, he's a lazy bum" she said "I kept him up all night laughing" she explained. I nodded to her
"Hey listen, I need to tell you something" I started
"Yes? What do you need to tell me?" she asked playfully. I sighed and bit my lip, but before I could say anything she spoke up "You're leaving me aren't you?" she sniffed. I sighed and thought
"Well not in the way you may be asking" I said sighing. Her eyes watered
"I knew it" she said starting to sob.
"Well it's just, Rouge and Amy invited me to live at this apartment down town with them; they want me to go so that they can afford it" I explained to her. She sighed and turned away
"I understand" she replied softly "I was going to move back to my house anyway, I was planning on bringing Shadow, Mephiles and Neo with me, but not Knuckles, he's too gay to function" she giggled. I chuckled and nodded. I went back to my room after a few jokes and told Rouge and Amy what had just been discussed. They had everything already fixed up and ready for us to leave, but I needed to do something first. I went across the hall and told the doctor what was happening. He nodded and wished me farewell. He was stuck here due to his promise. He thanked me again for getting him out that little white room and I couldn't help but give him a hug before heading out. I heard him fake cry as I left the room
"They grow up so fast" he managed to say without laughing. I looked back at him and grinned. He chuckled and I waved him good bye. I went downstairs with Rouge and Amy. We told the secretary about our move. She registered it and we went outside. Rouge had taken her car out of storage and packed our bags in the back. Rouge and Amy rode in front and I sat in the back. I watched the GUN base fade into the distance.
It was an hour drive, but we finally got to the apartment. The three of us carried our bags upstairs and we headed up to our room. Rouge had gotten the key in advance and opened the door for us. We walked in and there was a door on the left side of the room and two on the right. There was a large window on the opposite side of the room. I checked the door on the left; it was a large bedroom, with one massive bed with two dressers. There were three drawers on the side of the bed. I put my clothes in there and Rouge and Amy each got a dresser. There was a small door which led to a bathroom with a tub that looked like it could easily fit all three of us plus five more. I went to the other two doors, one led to a kitchen, the other a small storage room. We spent most of the time decorating and unpacking. It was 5 p.m. when we finished, so we went out for dinner. We went to a small diner down the block, so as you can guess we walked.
After we finished eating we returned to the apartment. It was six when we got back. We were tired, but Rouge said she had a surprise for Amy and me. We went to the bed, I was back in my blue boxer shorts and Amy was in her pink tinted gown. We waited until Rouge came in wearing her black tinted gown. She crawled into the bed with us and I think you can guess the rest. Once we finished, I started to quickly doze off into a deep sleep.
I opened my eyes and looked around. I was in a dark ally way, or I was looking down on one. Rouge was walking around in it and looking for something. She stopped and put her hands on her hips.
"Okay James, the joke's over" she yelled. Suddenly, without warning, a pair of hands wrapped around her waste. She jumped and turned to see who it was. It looked like my silhouette. She giggled "Silly, what was that for?" she looked at my silhouette and then her eyes widened. She gasped, but before she could scream, a demonic pinkish-purple hand covered her mouth. They stepped out of the shadows, revealing a purple and pink version of Mephiles.
"It's time I get rid of you" it cackled. It put a hand on her throat and began to squeeze. I watched Rouge struggle, when suddenly a black blur knocked the pink thing off of Rouge. It landed and Rouge ran behind it. It stood up and looked almost like a black cat, but without a tail and it was in a pitch black ninja outfit. The pink freak got up and looked up at him. The pink thing charged at him, but he quickly jumped and kicked its head into the ground. He turned to Rouge and signaled for her to run. She nodded and ran off. I watched the ninja and pink thing fight, but in the end the ninja won. He left as the pink freak faded into the shadows.
I opened my eyes and sat up. I looked around and saw Amy and Rouge lying on either side of me. I sighed deeply and got up. I got dressed and went to our new kitchen. I decided to make breakfast for the three of us. I managed to forge together a couple of toast and eggs for the three of us. I hoped it was good enough for the two of them. I wanted to make it up to them for all the stuff they've done for me. I set up two trays, one for each of them and brought to our room. I walked in as they were waking up and gave them each a tray with toast and eggs.
"What's all this?" Amy asked. I shrugged
"Just felt like doing something for you guys" I explained. Rouge giggled
"You mean outside of bed?" she joked. The three of us laughed as they ate. I sat down on the foot of the bed and waited for them to finish eating. They ate and then got dressed. We went to the main room and hooked up the TV, then sat down to watch it.
Jenn's POV
I turned back to my bed after having said goodbye to James. Neo was staring at me,
"Why was he here?" he asked, a scowl on his face. I frowned and sat down on the bed, wrapping my arms around Neo' neck,
"Oh he was just here to tell me he was leaving, he was just here to say goodbye…he's not going to be living with us anymore" I responded, looking towards the floor. I heard him sniffle and was suddenly I was knocked on the ground with Neo on top,
"This is the greatest day of my life! Well until his funeral…you didn't hear that…" he chuckled nervously and hugged me tightly, "Now let us celebrate this joyous day" he grinned. I giggled, then coughed,
"I'm still sick…I don't want you catching it" I replied to his suggestion. He frowned and sat back down on the bed,
"Oh alright then…I'm going back to bed…I haven't had much sleep the past few night" he chuckled, turning over and quickly falling asleep. I giggled and got up, pulling my dress on and headed to the cafeteria for breakfast. I sat down at our usual table, but somehow it felt different. I thought for a moment and remembered James wasn't there anymore that's why it felt different. I got some food and sat back down, wondering if I was ever going to see him again. I was quickly interrupted from my thoughts when I saw two black and red blurs run in front of my face. I soon realized it was Shadow and Knuckles, but I couldn't make out what they were saying; all I could understand was,
"GIVE ME THOSE BACK…DON'T SHOW ANYBODY OR I'LL FREAKEN KILL YOU!!" I shrugged, assuming it was Shadow chasing Knuckles. The second time they came around, I saw a picture fly by and I caught it. I looked at it and saw it was a picture of Shadow in a pink frilly dress. A bet he lost I'm assuming. I shrugged again and pocketed the photo for blackmail purposes.
When I was done my breakfast I headed towards Mephiles' room to see what he was up to. When I walked into his room he was sprawled out on his bed reading a fashion magazine, still wearing the sweater I gave him. I giggled and closed the door behind me, "Hi Mephiles…watcha reading?" I asked him. He jumped and quickly stored the magazines where I assumed he had previously found them,
"Oh uh…nothing…h-how are you?" he stuttered, an obvious blush creeping across his cheeks. I snickered and sat down on his bed, giving him a warm hug,
"It's ok to want to be interested in fashion…I think more guys should, then they would understand women more" I tried to explain to him. He nodded slowly and looked away,
"So…umm…what brings you here?" he asked, turning back to me. I shrugged,
"Just came to see my best buddy. Is that okay with you?" I asked him. He nodded and returned the hug I had given him,
"So umm…do you like the Christmas present I gave you? I really liked this sweater you gave me…its warm" he smirked. I nodded, blushing a little,
"It's very thoughtful of you…did you know James isn't part of GUN anymore?" I asked him. I saw him shake his head, "He moved out this morning…it kind of feels empty without him…" I sighed, getting up off the bed, "Well I have to go see someone…see you later" I then left, not giving Mephiles enough time to respond. I calmly walked the hallways, thinking about how much fun I had with James, all the good and bad times we had. I never got to know him that well, which I thought really sucked. I decided to go see Eggman. I went to his room door and knocked softly on his door. I saw him open it and look down at me,
"Yes? What do you want? Oh, it's you.. What would you like?" he asked me, crossing his arms over his chest. I blushed a little,
"Well seeing that James is gone now…I was wondering if you would be my new friend. I kind of don't really have friends here…" I responded. He frowned and pulled out a booklet that seemed to be titled 'script' and he flipped through it,
"I thought we were friends. Oh well." I saw him walk over to his computer and he typed something and a page called 'friends list' popped up. I saw him quickly type my name in, and then closed it, coming back over to me, "There you're my friend now. Good day to you" with that he closed the door. I huffed and went back to my room, how rude of him.
I spent the whole day in my room keeping Neo company while he slept and did tasks like clean my room and help Vector, Charmy and Espio settle in to their new quarters. When all that was done, I returned to my room for a long sleep, only to be awakened the next morning by a loud bang and a scream that sounded oddly like Shadow again. I quickly got up and looked out the door. Sure enough, it was Shadow again, but it seemed he was trying to beat on Knuckles. I assumed Knuckles showed people the pictures and Shadow was getting his revenge. I shrugged and closed my door. Tomorrow was finally going to be New Years!
