Me: Sorry for my long hiatus, my loyal fans!
Danny: Fans?! Why are you worried about them?! I've been left hanging for, how long has it been??! Two months?!
Me: Something like that. Alright, I'm sorry Danny. Now pipe down and let's get going once again…
When Danny finally got back to Sam's house, still a little stunned by the speed at which Sonic the Hedgehog had pulled him along, he found Chris and Cathy waiting outside while Sam, no doubt, was quickly explaining to Amy Rose what to do for food, as well as anything she'd have to know, like if she shared a room and when her parents and siblings got home, none of which Danny knew, even though he was her boyfriend. Sam's mom was on the front porch, chatting with the other member of the MBC, which Danny found a little weird. Normally, Sam's mom avoided her daughter's friends. Her short, dark hair was barely moved in the spring wind that made her cross her bare arms over her chest. She seemed to have suspicions about the friends, but these were cut short when Sam pushed her aside to get outside, and everyone started running down the street to get to school. As soon as they were out of earshot of Sam's mom, they stopped running, the boys falling a few feet behind the girls, which is when Chris spoke up.
"So how was the date yesterday?" He asked.
"Not bad, I guess. But we had popcorn thrown at us, and we were mostly talking about what should happen with those guys," Danny pointed with his thumb over his shoulder, indicating the 'hedgehogs'.
"So it was less of a date than a half-meeting?" Chris said. Danny shrugged.
"Yeah, I guess. Our so-called relationship has kinda gone downhill," Danny said.
"You're guessing a lot," Chris laughed. "Gunna break up with her anytime soon?" Danny winced.
"That would also mean the breaking up of my reputation." He sighed. Chris thought for a moment.
"No it wouldn't. Then you'd be open for Wendy if she ever likes you," he suggested. Danny perked up, but then wondered about the least possibly embarrassing way to do it. He'd never broken up with anyone before. This might be difficult, he thought.
"So," Danny said after a moment, "How goes it with Cathy?" Chris looked at him strangely.
"The only reason we've been hanging out is because you and Sam have been busy," he laughed. "Otherwise we'd both prefer to have just a plain MBC meeting."
"Oh," Danny's shoulders fell, though he smiled sheepishly. "Sorry. Man, you're making me feel bad. The only reason that we were dating is because we thought you were dating…"
Chris laughed even harder. "You'll find out what that was about soon."
After a second of gathering up his courage, Danny ran ahead and started walking backwards to talk to Sam, and while he started up a whole speech about how it wasn't really working out, he interrupted her with a hand. "Dude, this is probably the smartest move you've ever made. Don't worry about it."
As Danny celebrated by doing a dance and backed up to walk beside Chris again, Sam giggled. "I thought he would've remembered that he broke up with me two weeks ago."
Cathy gave her a look like a deer in the headlights. She still didn't really understand humans, and probably never would.
Ugh, that looked way longer in Word. Oh well, enjoy!
