Chapter 6: Date night

It's been about a week since I arrived on mobius and it turns out manic heard about me from Sonia and decided to meet me himself and the entire day we hung out. I have been having the time of my life, im on my way over to tails house find out more about myself and the mysterious powers I poses when I see a group of thugs cornering a female red fox in an alleyway. I walk across the street and I listen in on the thug's conversation.

"what do you want with me" said the female fox with fear in her voice, "all we want is what you got in the purse and maybe a little something extra" said a males voice possibly the leader of the group, I took this chance to look around the corner and I see the lady trembling with fear of what they might do to her. I also see the apparent leader approach her and grab her arm lifting her up and starts ripping her clothes off, I can't take this any more so I step into the ally and yell "HEY leave that woman alone" the leader a brown hedgehog looks at me and says "oh yeah and what are you gonna do if we don't?" he snaps his fingers and his lackeys pull out a bunch of knives and chains and bats (oh my), now im not much of a fighter but I will hold my own when I have to and this lady really needs the help. I see this and say "I hope you guys have your insurance paid cause your going to need it", three thugs attack at once two with knives and one with a bat I used my tail to do a sweeping attack and tripped them, as I jumped over them to get closer to the fox two more come from the sides and swing their weapons at me I dodge just barely and roundhouse kick them in the face breaking ones jaw and the others nose. Just as I ended the kick something hits my back and I stumble forward a little, I look back and it was one of the original three that first attacked me, I spin on my heel and give him a nice uppercut which sent him for a flying lesson he wasn't expecting, I look at the other two and they run for their lives and I have to say it was a smart move on their part.

I turn my attention on the brown hedgehog and he has the woman held by gun point "don't move or the girl gets it" he says, I look at him then at the fox and thinking that if I moved he would shoot her I raised my hands in defeat "ok but just don't hurt her" I say hoping to reason with him, "you see there's where your mistaken she's not going to get hurt you are" he said I had barley registered what he said when he pointed the gun at me and fired. The bullet hit me in the heart area of my chest but it went no further than my scales, I jerk acting like I was hit falling to the ground I look at the hedgehog and see a smile on his face walking towards me, I smile when I see this and rise up fast and look at the thug who now has a look of confusion on his face. I run up to him and grab him by the neck lifting him off the ground with one hand and grabbing the gun with the other yanking it from his hand, I look him in the eyes and see terror before I throw him to the ground holding the gun up in front of me, I say "little boys shouldn't play with guns" as I crush the weapon in my hand to little pieces. I look at him again and he starts tripping over himself to get away from me, I look over to the lady and ask "are you alright?" she looks at me with tears in her eyes and says "I am now thank you very much I don't know how to repay you" I look at her and say " it was nothing and you don't need to repay me I was only doing what any good hearted mobian would", I offer to walk her back to her house just incase more of them were around we get there safe and sound and say our goodbyes then I start once again for tails workshop.

I finally get to the workshop two hours later when it should have taken one, I knock on the door and tails opens it saying "what took you so long we were getting worried", I look inside and see sonic and knuckles playing what looks like mortal combat but with mobians "um do they even realize im here?" I ask watching as knuckles' character induces a fatality on Sonics, tails says "probably not" I look back and I get an idea. I look at tails and put my finger up to my lips as I sneak behind the couch keeping low, tails closes the door and sonic says "who was it tails?", "no one must be a prankster", "geez I hate people like that good thing I live on the island" said knuckles still playing the game.

I listen to their game and hear the infamous 'FINISH HIM' and I make my move, I jump over the couch and grab both knuckles and sonic by the neck and knock them down yelling, "FATALITY" as we hit the floor me laughing, knuckles yelping and sonic face planting. Knuckles gets up fast and yells "what the hell was that for you nearly gave me a heart attack" while he was yelling sonic was just getting up saying "yeah but you have to admit he did get us good". We sat there talking for a good half an hour as I tell them about my little skirmish earlier, my phone starts ringing I look at the number and see its an unknown number I answer it anyway "hello this is drake speaking" "hey drake its Sonia, I was just wondering if you were still wanting to go on that date you asked me for" for some reason my mind goes stupid and I reply "um sure uh when do you uh want to go" "ill come over tonight at eight is that ok?" she asked just listening to her voice sent shivers down my spine "uh sure sounds great ill see you at eight", "ok see you later" I hang up the phone and look at sonic "did you give your sister my number" I ask, sonic looks at me and nods saying "yeah I figured you two needed to figure out what time you needed to go so I gave her the number". he turns back to his game a tick mark is on my head for in my head I was thinking 'damn it sonic I wanted to give her my number myself'.

I look at my clock and see that it was three forty-five a little over four hours until my date with Sonia, I look over to tails and ask him if I can use his computer to research some more about me. Three hours of research later I tell tails that I will see him in a couple days, I head back to mine and Sonics house heading to my bedroom to get a shower and put something nice on for my date. I am wearing a nice red collard shirt with black tribal marks and black pants I look at myself in the mirror and think 'why am I wearing pants?' I take off the pants and look again, I look at the clock it says seven fourty-eight I head downstairs and wait for her to arrive. After twenty minutes of waiting the doorbell rings and I open the door, I see Sonia standing there in the most beautiful red dress that had a slit that went midway up her thigh I stand there thinking 'say something you idiot don't just stand there' before I say "you look beautiful tonight" looking into her eyes (did I mention they are blue?) "Thank you you're not to bad yourself" she says giving me a complete look over "um shall we go?" I ask as I shut the door "lets" she says with a smile.

We are walking down the street just talking and having a great time, soon I spot a little diner so I decide to take her inside and we sit down at a booth. I look across the table and just stare at her wondering how the hell I got her to be with me in the first place, the waitress walks up and asks us for our orders "ill have a bacon cheeseburger with fries and a medium lemon lime soda" I say feeling really hungry "ill have what he's having" says Sonia giving me a wink. In my head im thinking 'whoa is she serious there is no way she is going to eat all of that is there?', we sit there and talk some more learning some very interesting things about each other, apparently even though she is a princess she is allowed to date and or marry anyone she wants as long as her mother and brothers agree with it and as we all know two out of the three already agree with me. Our food arrives and I take a bite savoring the meat and bacon combo, I look over to Sonia and realize she is already half way through her burger, now I pride myself at being a fast eater but it was like she was inhaling her food and I was thinking 'damn how does she keep her figure she doesn't even wait to taste her food', I silently watch as she finishes her food and looks at me "I did it again didn't I?" she asks a slight blush on her face "um did what?" I ask, "I scarfed my food again" she said with embarrassment in her voice I look at her and smile saying "I thought it was cute" she blushed and I took another bite of my sandwich, as I bit down and chewed a little I comically spit it out gagging and wiping my tongue "what's wrong drake?" she asked concern in her voice, I look up and say "I forgot it had tomato I hate tomato" Sonia then starts giggling watching me make a fool out of myself.

We sat at the diner for a good two hours and we get up to leave as I pay the bill (with money I barrowed from sonic) and I walk her home, as we are walking I look at the stars and realize they pale in comparison to the person walking next to me, we reach her house and we stand there for a minute just staring at each other waiting for the other to make the first move, Sonia speaks first saying "thanks drake I had a great time tonight" "yeah me too I really had fun, so want to go out next week?" I ask as I look at her eyes (did I mention they are beautiful?) "Sure pick me up at the same time" she said smiling I get ready to turn around and leave when she hugs me. I look down and wrap my arms around her and give a hug back, she pulls away and walks to her door looks at me and says "ill see you next week" I look back and say "it's a date" giving a naruto grin as she closes the door.

You know I never realized I was home until I walked right into the door cursing a little, I open the door and head for my room and get undressed. I lay on the bed thinking of how everything went today, how we talked, and how I made a complete fool out of myself but it was all worth it. I lay there a little while longer until the last thought that ran through my mind before sleep took over was 'I wonder if she loves me or if I really love her'
