This is turning...strange.

Sonic watched Mephiles That's good he can't be sealed. I missed him around a lot. Maybe he''l want to go with me to do something later. I hope Shadow leaves. Then we'll be alone together! Lucky for him, Shadow waved the two of them off and raced away.Sonic watched him go, then turned to Mephiles "You wanna do something Mephiles?" Mephiles locked eyes with him briefly, then nodded. "I have nothing to do now. Want to go to the arcade?" Sonic nodded "I would. I love the arcade Mephiles." Sonic grinned "There's one in Station square. Let's go there!"

The two of them went to the Station square arcade, finding Kitana and Metal had stopped there. Mephiles found himself dragged inside by his wrist by Sonic "Come on! Let's play some games!" Mephiles couldn't help but blush at seeing Metal Sonic Why am I blushing? Can't be thinking that! Then again...he is gorgeous. Sonic noticed him staring at Metal, making him glare at Metal Sonic He's looking at him?! Not happening! I will not lose Mephiles to him! I know...we'll do DDR. Sonic walked up to Mephiles, tapping him on the shoulder. "Wanna play DDR Mephiles?" He nodded and the others heard him as well. "We shall see who can win hedgehog."

The game started, Sonic versus Mephiles. Sonic let Mephiles choose the song, then beginning the game. Sonic seemed to do it with ease, Mephiles right behind him. About halfway through, Mephiles lost his rhythm, not being able to do it fast enough. Sonic ended winning by a large margin. Mephiles shrugged his shoulders "Guess I'm out. You're next Metal." Metal got on the platform, Sonic choosing the next song, starting the next game. Metal and Sonic were going at it furiously, both trying to out-do each other. I can't lose! Otherwise I'll lose Mephiles' attention! Metal Sonic, on the other hand, was simply trying to out-do his biggest rival.

I pulled Mephiles aside, out of the others' earshot. "I think they're competing over you!" Mephiles' face went red "You...really think so?" I nodded, making Mephiles face go even redder. "I'm...not sure about it...." I grabbed his hands in mine "If I help you, can you help me with Silver?" Mephiles stared at me "He's with Blaze. Sorry." I shrugged my shoulders "Oh well, it was worth a try." We turned our attention back to Sonic and Metal. It wasn't hard to see their fatigue, as they were both sweating.

The game finally ended, Metal beating Sonic by a narrow margin. Sonic silently cursed No! I lost! I'll never get Mephiles' attention now! Metal seemed pleased Finally! Something I can beat the hedgehog at! I think I found a new favorite game. Metal grabbed my wrist "Your turn Kitana my dear." I stepped on the platform, knowing who would win. Metal let me choose the song and started the next game. Metal had no problem at all. Me, on the other hand....I sucked at it. I never could do DDR. I've never even played it before. About a quarter of the song was over before I got the hang of it, quickly catching up with Metal. Metal looked at me, keeping one eye on the steps needed She's not that bad! It took her some time, but she's getting it!

The game ended too soon it seemed. I lost, being beat by a large margin. Metal obviously, had a lot of pride about it "I am the DDR Master." I rolled my eyes at him "whatever Metal Sonic." Sonic ignored him, glancing at Mephiles, who was playing some other game. I wonder what Mephiles is thinking? He seemed to lose interest when Kitana and Metal were playing. Maybe he doesn't like me? That sucks. Mephiles noticed out of the corner of his eye that Sonic was staring at him. Mephiles' turned slightly red Is he checking me out? God. I don't like him like that. He's friendly but....not the one I'm thinking of. Mephiles turned to him, wanting to tell him, but not wanting to disappoint him. Sonic and Mephiles locked eyes briefly, Mephiles finding the courage to speak. "Sorry Sonic. I don't like you like that..."

Sonic looked at the ground, then looked at him "Its okay Mephiles." Mephiles nodded "Can we still be friends?" Sonic nodded "of course." Sonic looked at the counter area. There were stuffed animals of all sizes hung on the wall. You could turn your tickets in for prizes! Metal saw him staring at them. "What one do you want to win?" Sonic pointed to a hero chao "That one. I need 10,000 tickets though." Metal nodded "I want the neutral chaos chao." Sonic looked at the one he was talking about. "That's 25,000 tickets!" Metal shrugged his shoulders "I better get started then it seems, and so should you." He nodded, both of them seperating and getting started. Sonic chose the basketball, and Metal chose a car game.

When they all finally left, Sonic and Metal getting their prizes like they wanted. I had won an amethyst Dark chaos chao. Mephiles had won a Hero chaos chao that was gold colored. Metal's chaos chao looked exactly like Chaos zero, while Sonic's was a hero chao with large dragon wings. Everyone seemed happy of the time they had spent at the arcade. I loved mine, but Meal's was cool too. Mephiles started to walk off, waving the others goodbye.

Metal and the rest of us wandered around for awhile, not having anything better to do. Sonic spotted an ice cream stand "anyone want ice cream? Its on me!" I nodded, but Metal had a blank look on his face "Ice cream? I don't know what that is hedgehog." The both of us stared at him "You've never heard of it?!" Metal shook his head "Never." Sonic grinned "Your missing out man! You'll like it!" Sonic bought three cones, all chocolate. He handed Metal Sonic his "Try it. You'll like it!" Metal looked at the cone, at me, then at Sonic. Metal decided to take a chance, licking it a bit. He decided he liked it. "It's very sweet flavored. I quite like it." Sonic grinned "Best thing in existence."

We saw Shadow too, getting ice cream for himself. We were sitting at a table outside when he sat next to Sonic. He had ice cream with chocolate chips in it. Sonic couldn't help but wonder what he was even doing there. Metal was the first one to get up,done with his ice cream. He motioned to Kitana "Let's go find Mephiles dear Kitana." I followed him, leaving Sonic alone with Shadow. Shadow brought out his laptop, typing something in a word program. Sonic watched him type over his shoulder. "Watcha typing?" Shadow glared at him "None of your business faker." Sonic rolled his eyes "whatever then. Just asking." Sonic hoped from his seat "Later Shadow!" Shadow watched him go, then continuing his typing.

It seems something bothers Sonic today. Wonder what it is? I hope he didn't notice my nervousness. That could be an omen...he never acts...unsure that I've seen. Must be trying to be friendly with Metal Sonic that's doing it. Must make him nervous to try to not be rude or offend him. That, and knowing one bad move and Metal Sonic could try to kill him for it. Mephiles has been acting strange too. Wonder if that girl Kitana has something to do with it? She seems to make everyone nervous. Even me. She's the oddest mobian I've ever seen. She did say she wasn't from our world...wonder if that's why? I should do more...observation of her.

Shadow saved his work, put the laptop in his bag, and raced off in the direction Metal sonic had gone, knowing I would be with him. It didn't take long for Shadow to find us, seeing us heading towards Green hill zone. Wonder why they're going in a zone? Better follow them and see what they're up to. Shadow entered the portal just as it closed into the zone.

We finally found Mephiles sitting on a large loop. I looked at Metal "How'd he get up there?" Metal Sonic looked around shortly, spotting some platforms "That's how. Look over there!" I glanced over, spotting the platforms "So we jump then? Cool!" Before I could be stopped, I started jumping from platform to platform. This is fun! Wish I could do this more often! I almost missed the next platform, me not paying attention. I thought I was going to have to start over, when Metal pulled me up "Be more careful Kitana my dear." I sweat dropped "Sorry." Metal jumped ahead of me "Hurry up." I almost ended up knocking Mephiles off by accident, not watching where I was jumping. He yelped, Metal Sonic grabbing him by the wrist to prevent him from getting slammed off. Metal still was holding Mephiles' hand when he sat next to me. "You are very accident prone my dear." I nodded "I'm the biggest klutz in existence!" I made sure Mephiles was okay "Sorry Mephiles." It was then everyone noticed they were STILL holding hands. Metal immediately let go of his hand, turning away quickly, Mephiles doing the same. I could see both of their faces were crimson.

I giggled "Something you want to say Metal Sonic?" Metal Sonic couldn't look at me even. I turned to Mephiles "You have something to say?" Mephiles shook his head quickly "N-n-no." I laughed again "Sure you don't have anything to say." Metal gave me a nervous look, then looked at Mephiles. I looked at them "You both...like each other?" Metal Sonic nodded "We are friends...why?" I shook my head "No, do you like like each other?" I smirked at him, which Metal didn't understand. "Explain your reasoning my dear." I face palmed "Let me rephrase that. Do you...love each other?" Mephiles and Metal glared at me. "That's most...disturbing my dear." I gave him a smart ass look "You won't admit it!" Mephiles, on the other hand, had frozen at me mentioning it. I looked at him "Don't make me pry it from your mind. I'm psychic, so tell me yes or no, or I'll look for myself!" Mephiles snapped back at that "Fine! I'll admit it! I do! So what!"

Metal gave him a disturbed look "Are you serious!?" Mephiles nodded "Y-yes. I do. That doesn't matter though Kitana. He doesn't like me like that!" I gave a victorious look to him "I knew you'd tell if I told you that." He glared "You can't read my mind?" I nodded "I can, but I do it only when I have to." Metal face palmed "I don't believe you can do that too! Electric abilities, and now psychic ones?!" I grinned "I can do ice, fire and water too." Metal stared at me "That's not fair." I stuck my tounge at him "So? I'm special!" I pointed at Mephiles "Is that why we came to find Mephiles for? Because you are madly in love with him?" Metal sweat dropped "Fine. You win my dear. Yes, that's why I came to find him." I clapped my hands "I knew it! I knew it! I knew you like each other from the moment from when you released him from the scepter! That's why I retrieved the scepter for you!" Mephiles sweat dropped at this.

He stared at Metal Sonic "You had her get the scepter for that reason?" Metal frowned nervously "I did. So what." I looked at them "Kissy kissy?" Metal looked at me strangely "You or Mephiles my dear?" I sweat dropped "Me would be nice, but I meant Mephiles you idiot." He looked at me, then Mephiles "Not for your amusement my dear. Sorry." I shook my head "Not doing it just for amusement. Plus you screwed me over already. I have a right you rapist." Mephiles stared at him "What is she talking about?" Metal went silent "Nothing at all." Mephiles looked at me "What do you mean Kitana?" I told Mephiles what had happened the first night I was there. Mephiles became angry "And you wonder why you get into so much trouble Metal Sonic?" Metal looked at the ground, not answering. I continued to talk "But I told him he wasn't going to do that again. He gave me his word Mephiles. He also apologized." I petted his shoulder "He sees me as his servant anyway. That's fine by me. Well, as long as I'm not killing somebody." Mephiles pulled Metal Sonic close to him, Metal not responding. He rubbed his shoulders "I'm not angry about it. I just don't want to give someone a reason to put you in prison." Metal looked him in the eyes "I don't want to go there." I even commented at his act "Can't complain though. I actually enjoyed it." Metal gave me an odd look "You did?" I nodded "Never had sex in my life Metal. But yeah....you were wonderful at it." Metal sweat dropped "Uh....okay Kitana. Glad to know." I nodded "I'm willing to let Mephiles to take my position. Besides...I want Sonic instead. It gets him away from Amy and I get a kick ass guy. That, or Shadow!" Metal shook his head "I'm better in bed!" He gave a mischievous look to me. "We'll see Metal. Why not you and Mephiles go have some fun back at your base?" I asked suggestively. Mephiles beat him to the answer though "See you later then Kitana." I nodded "Have fun then!" The two of them disappeared just as Shadow had climbed up to where we were. Shadow gave me a disturbed look "You had SEX with METAL SONIC?!" I nodded "I was forced to do it. But...perhaps I can still go on your offer you gave me earlier." Shadow seemed confused, making me face palm "When you asked me to out with you, not him idiot." He shifted his eyes "I thought you like him." I shook my head "I changed my mind. He gets Mephiles." Shadow raised an eyebrow "Mephiles? Figures."
