Chapter 4
"And that's what happened." Cosmo finished. "After our battle, I guess Shadow ran out of power."
Shadow's pouting face glared at her. Cosmo realised that she had made Shadow sound soft, girly, and weak. Shadow did not like that.
"Oops..." she started.
"Oh and, dear." Vanilla said. "Tails said he was visiting today. I'm sure he would be delighted to see that his friend is still alive and well."
Cosmo was delighted. Her friend was going to see her again!
"Hey Cream! Do you want to go do some cooking?" Cosmo asked.
"Sure Cosmo! Let's go downstairs and get started!"
Cream's recipe for Cream's strawberry cream cake.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 quart of cream
2 cups of self raising flour
1 cup of milk
1 packet of strawberries
4 tablespoons of margarine (or butter)
1 cup of sugar
Icing:
2 cups of icing sugar
1 cup of hot boiling water
1 drop of pink colouring dye.
Method:
Mix butter and sugar together until blended well. Add flour, blend well. Add the eggs and 1/5 of the quart of cream. Blend well. Add milk and blend.
Put cake in oven and cook until the knife doesn't have cake attached to when you poke it in.
/Hard bit here! / when cake is done, chop it in half horizontally. Whip the cream until thick. Layer cream on one side and put the cake back together.
Make icing and put on top of cake.
Well done! Enjoy the yummy quality of Cream's strawberry cream cake!
"Well that took a chunk out of the chapter didnt it." Rouge said sitting on Shadow legs. (He didnt like this much...) "At least it delayed enough time for Tails to come."
As if on cue there was a rap at the door.
"I'll get it!" Cream shouted. She rushed to the door, and wrenched it open. "Hello Tails! How are you? Come inside! Wait 'till you see who dropped by!"
Tails sauntered in, his tails drooping. He looked up at everyone sadly. His face faulted, Cosmo smiled at him. Tails's eyes widened, he swayed a bit... and then passed out.
Cream let out a shout and shot forward to catch Tails. Rouge ran to get a glass of water for him. Shadow instantly got up and ran for the door. He wrenched it open, and ran out.
A little while later, Tails woke up. Cosmo was staring at him, her beautiful smile radiating.
"C...C...Cosmo?" Tails asked shocked. Was his dead best friend right in front of him?
"Tails..." Cosmo said. "I'm going to say something I should have said when first fell for you. I've never felt this way for someone before so I am telling you now. I love you Tails and I'll never leave your side ever again!"
Tails could only cry, which made everyone except for Rouge to cry as well.
Everything was so perfect.
Rouge got up. "Well, I hope you all have a nice happy day, but I've got to go catch a black hedgie, who is to stubborn to admit when he's sick."
With that she got up and left the room, and the aura became a lot brighter.
Rouges wings stretched and flapped as she searched the green landscape, for a black blur going about... 750 mph. Her cunning eyes scanned up and down, but landed on a big shiny white thing. She flew lower and saw a Chaos Emerald.
"Shiny..." she said, eyes glowing. "And you're all mine!"
She pounced on the emerald.
Nothing happened, Rouge laid face first in the dirt. She sweat dropped.
"Aw well guess it's back to the task at hand." She said placing the chaos emerald in her cleavage.
She flew up with a flap of her wings.
Shadow ran away from the crazed bat with his amazing speed, not even stopping to look behind him. His hover skates floated over the rocky terrain. Shadow wasn't really looking at where he was going, nor did he care. He probably forgot the main rule of being a supersonic hedgehog
with amazing speed. Always look where you're going. Going at great speed and crashing is going to give a major boo boo. Too bad Shadow wasn't ever told that.
Too bad he tripped over a tree root.
As Rouge flew overhead she heard a loud noise. It wasn't a scream and it wasn't someone choking. It was both. Her head snapped in the direction the noise came. She flew lower. She landed on the ground and looked around.
She broke up laughing. Shadow was there, with a mixture of dirt, gravel and foliage, shoved in his mouth. His eyes were about half-way closed and he had a sweat drop near his head. He glared at her.
Shadow couldn't believe it. He had been embarrassed beyond his normal point. The ultimate life form, badass and amnesia sufferer. Was. Face. First. In the dirt! He was so embarrassed he wished he could disappear.
Getting up, he spat out the dirt and brushed himself off. He looked up at Rouge and said...
"I meant to do that,"
