Hi!
It turns out band camp is for 2 weeks, so I can go back to writting^^.
And btw, Tomato Juice/ GreatGrape, I thought about what you said...And you were right, my story needs more action. To be honest, I'm not very good with action, but I'll try and see what I can do:)
As for Tashie...thanks for finally reviewing my story! And congratulations too, you were the 10th reviewer!^^Btw, Tashie, check your emails...
The week went on fast.
Just a bunch of typical days that made Mephiles slowly forget about his question. Nothing but the basics happened, woke up, took a shower, put on his blue contacts(which he hated so much), shoes, gloves, cursed every second of his existance in school, tried hard not to fall sleep during class, sat alone under a tree on recess with a notebook on his knees and a pencil on his right hand, wrote insults and bad-words on the school bathroom walls to his 'enemies' and signed them 'by MTH', observed kids laughing and playing through the window in his room, and drew bleeding female arms on the pages of his notebook. Nothing out of the ordinary.
And now, he found himself lost in the noises of the cafeteria, resting his head on the table.
Since he didn't brought any green paper($$$ in other words...)and forgot to tell his mommy to pack him a lunch or something today, well, that was all he could do.
He lifted his chin up and saw a familiar face, which he was wasn't quite happy seeing, sitting right across the table.
Probably another one of those stupid days in which teachers tell little 3rd graders where to sit...
Mephiles was darn sick of that, they always sat him with the people he didn't wanted to look in the eye. Well, not that he wanted to really sit next to anyone, but still...
"Ugh, this sucks." he muttered, unable to find anything to distract himself. Well, at least, Mephiles knew for sure that that blonde hedgehog didn't knew that Mephiles was right in front of him since he was talking to his friends...
Friends...something he didn't possessed...
Mephiles shook his head at that thought. After all, friends were not the only thing he didn't have.
He directed his attention back to his 'enemy', also known as Angel, which Mephiles always thought that that was an 'inapropiate name' for someone like him.
Well, while doing that, there was something that caughed his attention. He noticed a small picture of a child on Angel's milk carton under a word that Mephiles only recognized when he lost a toy: Missing.
Curiosity killed the cat, Meph... a voice echoed inside his head.
Yeah, only guess what? I'm not a cat, I'm a hedgehog. he told himself, reaching out for the tiny millk carton.
He grabbed it and held it in front of himself and looked back at Angel.
Ha! That idiot didn't even noticed!
Mephiles grinned to himself and continued to examine the picture. His grin faded.
Mephiles the...Dark? Born on November 14, 1996...?
What?
Then, Mephiles muffled a gasp in horror as he saw the kid's image:
A hedgehog.
White fur.
Gray skin.
Lime green eyes.
No! No !No! his mind screamed. No! This isin't me! It can't be me! I have a mom and a dad, and I'M NOT MISSING!
Mephiles blinked several times, with the hope that if he did, the letters of the kid's name would change into something else.
They didn't.
Ok...how do you even know if that's you? his mind questioned himself. I mean, that's not your name, nor your birth date. What, you're stupid or why can't you see that?
Mephiles went numb.
He was now staring motionlessly into the milk carton. Anybody looking at him could think,"man, that kid's obssessed with milk calories..."
It was stupid. Sayonara surely wasn't a hedgehog, but who cares? She was his mommy. To many kids by that age, their mother was 'mom', 'ma', or just simply mother. But to Mephiles, Sayonara was still his mommy. Not ma, mom, or mother. Mommy.
To end the argument, Mephiles took a sip of the milk and drank it.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing, Mephiles the dork!" Angel glared at him, seeing he held his milk carton.
Mephiles blinked stupidly. That was enough. If all the cafetiria didn't went silent, he was surely gonna freak out. His mind arguing, the milk carton in his gloved hands, Angel not shutting the Hell up, geez!
"Hey, street rat! Didn't you hear me?"
"SHUT UP!" Mephiles snarled, and spitted on him.
Being male, the spit actually did reached Angel's cheek...
Angel looked disgusted.
"First you drink my milk and then you spit on me? Whata heck is wrong with you!"he scolded, whipping his cheek.
Mephiles looked indignant as his hands slowly curled into fist.
"Why, I don't know, Angel...as you can see, there's a lot of things wrong with me..."
"You're being sarcastic!"
"How long did it took you to figure that out?" Mephiles asked, grinning slighly.
"Shorter than what will take for your mom to earn a dollar, that's for sure..." he laughed.
Wrong choice.
"THAT'S IT!" Mephiles screamed, outraged, punched him in the face(with the right fist, we know that Mephy in this fic has problems with his lefty...)and practically launched himself at Angel.
"OW! GET OFF ME YOU STREET RAT!"
"I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT A 'STREET RAT' CAN DO TO A FREACKIN' RICH SPOILED BRAT!"
And with that, a bunch of kids from other tables(some not even 3rd graders)stood up and went over to see what the whole scheme was about.
Nedless to say, in a matter of minutes, you could hear kids chanting,"Fight! Fight! Fight!" As if there wasn't one already...
And there was a female brunette cat among the crowd taking pictures with her phone of the scene. Evilly, she only seemed to snap a shot when Mephiles made a move(EVIL! Evil, I tell you!).
Sometime later...(not that much later)
"What's going on here!" the principal burst through the cafetiria doors just in time to see the still going fight between the two young hedgehogs.
At seeing the principal, Mephiles stopped pulling on Angel's hair(uh...quills?) and stood up.
A brunette cat walked over to the principal.
"I'm not done with you..." Angel said, placing a hand over his head.
"Well, I am-"
Suddenly, his hair(quills? Oh, whatever!)was yanked with a mighty force, followed by a series of yelling.
"What in the world makes you think you can damage school property, write on bathroom walls, and now start a fight?"The principal asked, outraged by it always being excatly the same kid.
"I'm sorry, sir!"Mephiles apologized, closing his eyes and covering his ears with his hands(as if in a defense position or something).
"No, you're not sorry!"He continued."If you were, you wouldn't do it in the first place!"
And with that, the princial practically started chucking Mephiles outta there.
Mephiles turned to Angel once more, and watched as the brunette cat helped him to his feet. Angel flashed him an 'evil'(or so I call it)grin as the brunette cat took one last picture of Mephiles, this time being chucked outta the cafetiria.
Boy, I am mean! And can this whole thing really happen because of a tiny milk carton? The answer is yes. People this days fight for every single thing.
And the chapter was originally suppost to be waaay longer, but I decided to keep those ideas for the next one.
Mephiles the...Dark? Born on November 14, 1996?
Just in case you have questions about that, I'll explain.
For what we know, SEGA hasen't really gave us any clues of any Sonic character's birthday. So, I drew my own conclusions.
Sonic 06 was released on November 2006, am I correct? Well, that was one thing...
And another would be that I strongly believe in Zodiac Signs. And if you were to take a momment to think about it, you can actually compare Mephiles' personality with a dark sided Scorpio's.
Coincidence? I don't know, but look:
Scorpio are very ambitious, and would do anything to reach their goal. And plus, dark sided Scorpio are manipulative, and so is Mephy. Evidence of this could be in the way he used Silver to do dirty work for him.
Scorpios have an excellent memory and combined with an inability to let things go, they can hold a grudge against someone who did them harm forever. And for what we know, Mephiles was trapped 10 years in the scepter, and when he got out, he didn't forget about Shadow. And Scorpio rearly forgives, so, the posability of Mephy forgiving Shadow was below zero. And a Scorpio's grudges can go as far as a desire for vengance, which they did for Mephy.
And the reason why I know a lot about this is because I'm a Scorpio myself, you see. Well, anyway, like I told you, take a minute or two to think about this...and hopefully you liked the chapter.^^
