Silver... to you, it might be the name of a shiny grayish color but to me, it's lot more. Yes, it's the color of a certain hedgehog that I've loved but it's also his name. Everytime I see the color itself, I think of him. He's now 2'9, 11 years old and is very naive. He's got a great personality. Very loyal, trusting and always ready to protect the people he cared about. I think back a year ago to when we were 7/8 years old, holding hands, going to the meadow making out etc.

I have not seen him for sometime because of the fact that I moved to a different city. That's why Silver broke up with me. He doesn't want to have a long distance relationship. He wants so see his girl all the time, which is understandable but to me, when you love someone, distance shouldn't matter. Now that I am 11, I still think about Silver 'till this day. I am very much in love with him and if he has a new girl, then I'd be crushed. I am the only girl worthy of his love and affection.

Flashback: I saw Silver cruising with his friends alot, but as young as I was, I wouldn't have grabbed Silver's attention. So I grab my magic ring to wish myself older. Poof! I have aged 3 years. Now instead of being 8, I am 11.

Here's where the story starts: one day I overheard Silver and Shadow (his buddy) saying that they were going to take a walk in the forest. Now, it's my chance to reunite with my true love. So I flew to the forest and waited behind a bush. I hear Silver's voice, so I got a little closer. Now they are both staring at the bushes. I might have scared Shadow as well. I didn't want them to run away so I just walked out of the bushes and stood there. As I stood there, I was overjoyed with emotion when I saw Silver up close. It took a while for him to recognize me but as soon as he came closer, he saw me. I did not hesitate; I ran into his arms. I was very teary eyed as I look up at him. "Silver..."

"Hey... long time no see..." Silver whispered. The embrace felt real, like if Silver was really falling back in love. In it, I was in my own world... I didn't hear anyone but Silver's voice. But the mood was quickly ruined by a familiar voice yelling "Silver boy!". I look up and there was this girl. Really tall and really "pretty in Silver's eyes". He then says "babe, it's not what you think..."

"Silver boy!!! You're letting this little girl hug all over you" she yells. Well, my world just fell apart. Not only does he have a girlfriend, but she's dating someone that has stolen from me before. So just to clarify, I ask him "Silver.... your *dating* the treasure thief?" He says "one, she's my girlfriend and two, she's not a "thief", she just can't contain herself around shiny things". Well, I know one thing, Silver is still naive.

So I said to him straight up "Ohh... okay Silver, you're soo cute and very naive. Defending the thief that stole from me when *WE* were dating. But you're the same age as I am, so I understand".

But then his girlfriend's all like "GET OFF MY SILVER BOY!!!" She also told Silver "I'll kill that cat". I really don't care if she tried to fight me because even tho' I'm 2'7, I can still kick her butt. So she lunged for me but before she can slap me, Silver stopped her. "Baby, please. Don't do this, okay? You're the only girl I will ever love, okay?"

"Silver..." My world really fell apart. How can he say that? She's really not good for him. What would his parents think? He turned to me and told me "Blaze, I know you are still in love with me and you're upset that we broke up the way we did, but I am in love with my girlfriend. I never felt this way about anyone since... you. There are times where I have thought about you and have even missed you, but please know that I will always be your friend. I just can't love you the way I used to, okay? I don't 'love you, love you', but I do love you"

Now, I understand not 'liking me, liking me but just liking me' but not 'loving me, loving me but just loving me'? Silver is a total hypocrite here. But I said nothing, as I cried on his shoulder. I couldn't think of anything else, not even the insults that his girl was throwing at me. All I knew after that was that Silver pushed me off and said "You know what? I need a moment to myself". I saw him fly away. So I quickly flew away.

20 minutes later: I'm at the edge of the forest crying my eyes out. As I was getting ready to leave, Silver sneaks up behind me and gives me a big hug. "Silver..!" I'd never thought that he'd come back. "Hey... umm, you know, I was really supposed to be here to tell you that you can't be near me anymore *BUT*.... I want to keep this a secret..." Silver said. He look behind him and around him. He put his arms around me, and we started to make out. It was the most wonderful thing that I could ever imagine. Soon as we parted lips, Silver gave me a smile and told me something that made me melt inside.

"I have feelings for you, and I want to be able to see you again"
