Chapter 4

Figure You Out

I sent the annoying alarm clock to the wall, the satisfying "SMASH!" brining a smile to my lips. Seriously, Alarm Clocks are just like jealous people….interrupting such beautiful dreams just because they couldn't have any. I sat up lazily and rubbed my tired eyes, a yawn escaping my mouth. I turned my nose up at the whiff of my morning breath and hopped out of bed to brush my teeth. Tails wasn't gonna come to class today, and my guess is that Sonic might be taking care of him. Of course I'd have to call. But I don't have his number….

I stretched my sleeping limbs before climbing out of bed, saying a quick silent prayer. I placed my feet into my fuzzy worn out slippers and shuffled into the bathroom to get rid of my reeking morning breath and to was the sleep from my eyes.

"I bet Sonic would faint if he had a whiff of this" I laughed to myself.

I groaned as I spat the content from my mouth into the basin and finished my task of cleaning my impressive fangs, maybe I should do a toothpaste commercial after all.

Nah.

I absently scratched my stomach (force of habit) as I made my way out of my average sized bathroom when my eyes caught the blinking light that my charged phone was signaling, and I picked it up noticing I had a text message.

I'm telling you, I was beyond happy when they got cell service stations put up here, apart from my mother calling me every darned day.

My ears perked up to life at the message and my laugh echoed throughout the empty house. So the weirdo was still coming huh? Just when I was so stoked to chill in my pajamas all day too.

Awh who am I kidding?! I ran to the shower after throwing my poor phone down and sending a quick text to Tails. As i hummed in my shower, I thought about last night...our light and flowing conversation, the way he kept stealing glances at me... I shook my head wildly under the steaming shower, trying to remove his gorgeous eyes from my mind...with no sign of luck.

Sighing, i stepped out of the shower and dried myself, and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I wasn't fat was I? I mean I do eat a lot..but I board almost everyday to make up for it.I pinched my creamy pink thigh and jiggled it with a frown. Maybe I needed to drop a few pounds?

"No wonder you seemed a little on the chubby side"

"That's what she said" I mumbled while poking my slightly bulged stomach. I know i wasn't bikini model ready...who needs to be in this kind of weather anyway...?

Frustrated, I took myself from the bathroom, wrapping my towel tightly around my body. I took up my cell and quickly responded to Tails' text that said we need to go early. That way I can explain the boarding tricks to Sonic easier, maybe grab a bite to eat while we're at it.

X Sonic X

I haven't been this flustered ever since i asked my mother what a condom was. I mean how was is supposed to know it wasn't a baloon right? Wait why did i even think on that? Tails was eying me the entire time with a smug smile plastered on his face.

"What?!" I finally asked.

"Why are you so flustered?" Tails asked with humor lacing his words

"I'm not, I just don't want to be late for Amy's class, she scheduled it earlier this time didn't she?"

"Buttt..Your Sonic the Hedgehog, ya know, The fastest thing alive?" Tails chuckled.

"Shut up Tails" I grumbled, drying ,y quills in the fluffy towel.

"What about Sally? Doesn't she wake up around this time?"

"Yeah? So what?" I asked stuffing a toothbrush in my mouth.

"You need clothes for one because mine are too small and...that photoshoot thing.."

"She'll figure it out, and I'm going for my things now" I said finishing up.

"With that?!" Tails nudged at my half naked attire, I only had one of the larger towels wrapped securely around my waist.

"So what?" I asked

"Never mind" he mumbled picking up the hotel phone.

"You ordering breakfast?" I asked heading for the attachment room door.

"Yeah, I'm starved, I'm charging it to your credit card by the way."

"We're here on Sally's presence alone, everything we order is free, she's the one being paid for being here." I informed him

"Well alright!" Tails said excitedly.

I rolled my eyes and unlocked the door, taking a deep breath before easing it open. It was dark in the room thanks to the drawn curtains, the kitchen light was off too. I closed the door behind me gently and made my way into Sally and I's bedroom but before I could even open the door, she burst through , cellphone tucked under her ear and a string of people came out behind her.

"Yes, I already got things together and I made sure that my crew was here with me" she said in her all business tone.

I clutched my towel tighter and backed myself against the wall watching as different people touched her hair, makeup and her clothes. "Sal?"

Sally waved her hand above the mass of people towards me and a girl maybe seventeen swished her fluffy tail and swallowed whatever she had in her mouth and extended her arm to me. I took it and shook firmly with her.

"Big fan sir" she said excitedly

"Thanks, what's all this?" I asked

"Miss Acorn is preparing for a twelve hour debut today, and asked me to inform you that she doesn't want any interuptions"

"Interruptions?" I asked with folded arms.

"Yes, as in calling, texting or showing up without an appointment"

"An Appointment?" I asked in disbelief.

"I understand your anger sir, as someone who just shared a bed with Miss Acorn you want to be as close to her as possible"

"Shared a bed?!" I yelled.

"Sir-p-please calm down"

"Calm down?! Like hell I would! Everybody out!" I demanded pushing past the chipmunk. The group of people ceased work but Sally continued her conversation on the phone. They all looked at her but she made sure not to pay an ounce of attention to any of them.

"NOW!" I yelled.

Feet began fumbling about the carpeted floor, and hands grabbed equipment before scurrying out of the hotel room and into the halls outside. The chipmunk, dressed in a deep blue pencil skirt and white blazer fidgeted at her previous spot and glanced awkwardly between the two of us.

"Jessica, you can stay, just excuse yourself and go into the bedroom if you please" Sally sighed putting her phone on the table beside her.

"Of Course Miss Acorn. Mr Hedgehog" she bowed her head as she passed and entered the room closing the soundproof door behind her.

"The heck was that all about Sal?!" I asked in a clipped tone

"All of what? aren't you used to seeing me being swarmed so I can get ready?"

"You know that not what I'm talking about. What was all the crap about me 'being able to share a bed with Miss Acorn' shit."

"Don't you?"

"Yeah I do, but we're a COUPLE Sally. You made me look like some kind of 'bed toy' for you" I snapped.

"Well, you weren't ACTING like my BOYFRIEND Sonic" she huffed, fixing her skirt.

"What are you talking about? Is this a continuation from last night Sal?!"

She shifted in her chair before turning her head away from me. "Maybe" she mumbled.

I released a sigh, trying my hardest to calm down before making my way towards her, stooping down before her. Her blue eyes focused on me before welling with tears.

"I just don't wnt to look stupid" she confessed

"So you wanted to do that to me?" I asked arching a brow.

"Not too much, just so you could see how it feels to be shut out" she sniffed.

"Sally, I'm never going to shut you out, you need to talk to me when you feel like that, maybe then I could understand how you feel a little easier and we wont have to argue like this" I said taking her small hands in mine.

"Promise?" she sniffed.

"I promise princess" I smiled.

" *sniff* Okay, I want to come to your class this morning"

Amy

Someone please tell me I'm having a terrible nightmare. When I arrived ten minutes before schedule time, I didn't expect to see Sally Acorn sashaying in the most expensive looking coat and boots I ever laid eyes on. It was winter white, which made absolutely no sense, her hair had been accompanied by fuzzy pink fur earmuffs and her boots were the exact color of them. The next think that crawled my blood was that Sonic was wearing the exact same thing, only for men. His head was bare though, he wore the same colored boots and his board had been replaced with a lighter shade of blue with Sal's name across it. I wanted to laugh and cry all at once.

"Hello Again Amelia" Sally said once she approached, her arm tucked under Sonics

" Sup guys?" I choked, trying to contain my laughter. "Where's ya board Sally?" I asked noticing she didn't have one.

"Sonic and I will be boarding together" she said sweetly nuzzling Sonics arm.

"B-boarding together?"

"Precisely" she and another voice informed.

I glanced to the side to see a chipmunk dressed in a comfy blue jacket, white pants and blue boots typing way at her phone. She pocketed it and extended her arm which I shook.

"Jessica Cheeks, Miss Acorn's Assistant. I would prefer if you would address her the same" she said in all-business like tone.

"Right.., so Cheeks, what's up with the boarding together issue, they wont get to learn much other than just riding down a small slope to buld teamwork"

"That's what we're hoping for. Can you give me directions for where we should set up our shoot?"

"Shoot?" I sked arching a brow.

"Yes, you were informed of Miss Acorns presence were you not?"

"Well, yeah but I didn't know it was a photoshoot" I said folding my arms.

"In any case, please inform me of the directions" she said taking her phone out once again.

"Uh, sure" I said glancing back at Cream who only shrugged her shoulders. "I guess we could go to Lovers Slope, it's one of the safest places I know where couples go to just have a casual date out" I said in a clipped tone.

"Excellent!" Jessica said, her light blue eyes sparking with excitement. "Miss Acorn?" Cheeks asked for approval

"It sounds wonderful" she said nudging into Sonic's arm some more.

I don't know why it bothered me so much, but I stuffed my hands in my pockets and bit my lip...hard. "Well, lets get to it then" I smiled tightly. I snatched my board from the desk and brisk walked out the automatic doors of the hotel before I heard Cheeks call my name...my full name.

"Miss Ameliea Rose, please wait!"

Inhale. Exhale. "You know Amy's fine" I said casually.

"Oh but we're not friends so of course that is out of the question" she waved it off like it was no big deal.

Well Ouch. "So you call Sally that because your not friends with her as well then?" I asked raising a brow.

"Oh, not at all! I do this out of respect, out of public ears I simply address her as Miss"

"Right. So what's the hold up now?"

"I rang Miss Acorns driver to take us to the desired location"

"A Limo cant make it to Lovers Slope...I-its a slope" I said in disbelief. "How's it going to get up there?"

"Nonsense, this should be fine, and more comforting for Miss Acorn, a simple vehicle could tarnish her reputation" she said in a hushed tone.

"Right. When is it gonna get here?" I asked folding my arms impatiently.

"Half an hour, I believe that we could all have a munch before the shoot, yes?" she asked raising her tone a bit louder.

"I always wanted to try breakfast outside the hotel" Sally spoke up

"Splendid! Miss Rose can you escort us to a restaurant nearby?" Cheeks asked.

"Well, yeah I guess" I shrugged, tucking my board under my arm. "I'll text ya Cream"

"Bye Amy!" she waved

For the entire walk to the local breakfast nook, Sonic didn't dare to utter a word to me, there wasn't even an explination from Tails whe I asked him. He simply said.

Trust me, he'll tell you when he gets the chance.

"What chance exactly?" I mumbled into my mug of hot chocolate.

"Did you say something Amelia?" Sally asked smugly.

"Hah? No I didn't" I said wiping my mouth in my sweater sleeve.

Sally made a disgusted face before taking a careful sip of her tea. I guess she was scorning me in her mind again, stuck up little...Inhale. Exhale.

"So are we ready to go or what?" I asked standing up abruptly. "It's gonna take at least an hour to get to the photoshoot, by limo so you guys gotta get up and go"

"We have a change in plans" Cheeks said putting her cellphone on the table.

What Now?

"The magazine thought it would be spectacular for you to do a helicopter jump down to the slope and crash into a soft pillar of snow!" she said excitedly.

"That would make me look a bit extreme" Sally said with excitement.

"A helicopter jump?!" I asked in disbelief.

Sonic changed his expression for the first time today, eyeing Cheeks as if she was insane.

"Sally hasn't even touched a board much less ride the baby slopes yet and you want her to jump out of a freaking helicopter?!" I yelled, causing ome attention to turn our way.

"Why should we worry when you've done it already?" Cheeks asked smugly.

"That's solo!" I argued.

"You've jumped out of those things about twice no?"

"Seven" I corrected "And the last time I almost broke my leg" I growled.

"Then you know the do's and don'ts...or should we get a more...professional boarder? I was thinking Jet the Hawk." she smirked.

My anger boiled inside me as the café's customers inhaled sharply. Anyone who lives her knows that my arch rival was the cocky, self absorbent and sexy Hawk Jet. He's been trying to beat me for years and won my cup once when I thought he won my heart.

"Helicopter Ride it is then" I growled leaving the table.
