Chapter 4- Sleepovers and Him
Sonic
After Amy ran after her friend; named Clover the Hedgehog, her…boyfriend gave me a nasty look.
"I don't know what your deal is, but leave Amy out of it" he growled.
"Whoa, don't get so territorial man" I smirked "You wouldn't want to ruffle your tail would you?"
"What? How'd you know about-Oof!" The blonde bird coughed.
The hedgehog beside him had elbowed his friend in the ribs making him cry out. "The heck was that for-oh" he said before taking a nervous glance towards Shade.
Fiona scoffed, rolling her eyes at the fox. So these two have some history then…
"Keep your tongue Hedgehog" the fox growled. "Stay away from my girlfriend; and me" he said before grabbing his things, leaving the table.
So, these two know he's a fake too huh? I wonder if those girls that were with Amy-
"What's your deal?!" the Hedgehog named Arty growled at me.
"My deal?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"He may be talking about your part Sonic" she said popping her chewing gum, making me cringe.
"You made Clo upset, man not cool" Broody commented, cracking his knuckles. "I may be a fan but no one makes Clo annoyed other than me" he said proudly, jabbing a thumb into his chest.
"Beautiful Speech" Fiona clapped sarcastically
"Thank You" he grinned proudly.
"This party she was supposed to have…tell me more about it" I said intrigued.

Amy
"Mom! Did you touch my sleeping bag?!" I yelled looking through my closet for the millionth time.
"It's here on the table sweetie" she yelled back
"Thanks mom" I hollered back, picking up my FurPhone. I had two texts; one was from Shade the other from Clo.
**Clo**
xx Thanks for today Mimi, I don't know what I'd do without you and Kitty xx
XX don't mention it XX
**Babe**
xx Have fun at your sleepover okay? I'll tell Ma you said hey xx
XX Tell her I love her too XX
xx what about me? xx
XX Stop being greedy; but you know I love you too XX
XX Yeah, I know that for sure; kisses speak a million words ;) xx
"Well don't you look pretty" I heard my dad say.
I turned around and smiled at his figure leaning casually against my door. "Thanks Dad, but it's basically pajamas"
"Still cute" he shrugged, coming in, taking a set on my bed. "I think you're a great friend as well"
"You think? Clo was pretty beaten up when she decided to cancel her party all together, so she needs some TLC by her BFF's" I said pocketing my phone.
Dad looked at me with his sweat dropped and I laughed.
"She needs come company from her best friends" I explained.
"Right, that's a good point" he chuckled. "And about-er Sonic…" he sighed.
"I'm not even going there dad" I huffed.
"I figured. But he may be-trying...to tell you something important." He said nervously
"Like what? An apology?" I scoffed. "I don't even want to hear it" I finished packing my overnight bag, taking a seat next to him. "If I hang around him, all I'm going to get is unnecessary attention and god knows high school can make a good reputation go bad in a matter of days. I don't want to be seen as a confused high school girl who keeps fawning over him like some love sick puppy; I'll be humiliated…AGAIN; and how would that look for you? God, I can't even imagine moving again..."
"Amelia…relax" he chuckled, enveloping me into a warm hug.
I released a breath and took a much needed lungful in. "Thanks"
"Just so you know; although I had to remove you two from the public...I saw how unhappy you were- I couldn't stand it"
"I know, and you rock for that" I smiled.
"And I also know you just wanted to give me and your mother some alone time" he said attacking me with tickles.
My laughter echoed through the house, meshing with his own. A knock came at the door and my mother stared at us with an arched brow, hands on her curved hips.
"It's like I'm raising two kids" she sighed shaking her head.
"You love your kids though" I grinned.
"Very much so" she giggled.
A loud horn broke our bonding moment and I wiggled out of dads arm to run to the window. I saw Blaze sticking her head out of her car grinning from ear to ear.
"Let's Go chiqua!" she hollered.
"That's Blaze, gotta run" I said snatching up my bag planting a quick kiss on my parents cheeks. "Love you guys!" I yelled after running down the stairs.
"Be safe Amelia!" they both hollered back.
As I grabbed my spare keys they both came downstairs to see me off. I slipped into Blaze's lilac colored car and strapped myself in.
"Hey Mr. Rose!" Blaze hollered from her opened window. "Welcome home!" she grinned waving her hand.
"Hey there Blaze; nice to see you again." he smiled sheepishly
She closed her window and gave me a hug. "Hey Amy" she said happily.
"You're in a good mood" I smirked, eying her suspiciously.
"Well yeah, if you haven't noticed… I got my car back" she grinned
"How could I miss it with this kind of paint job?" I said arching a brow as she backed out of my driveway.
"This is normal; at least you know who's in it. I don't want anyone thinking I'm some crazy driver"
My sweat dropped at her comment and she hissed at me.
"What? All I was gonna say was try not to blow your chances at getting it back again." I shrugged; throwing my overnight bag towards the backseat.
"The cops were overreacting" she huffed backing out of my driveway.
"Blaze you bit one of them for Christs sake" I said sheepishly
"He touched my ass" she argued
"That's what they do to pat you down to see if you had anything to make u high" I said
"Well I didn't like the old dude doing it. I wouldn't've bit the guy if it was the hot rookie "patting my ass" she licked her lips "Damn he was fine."
"You need help Minna" I said face palming myself
She snickered " You worry too much Amy" she said laughing
It didn't take long to arrive at Clo's house,
"Let's go, I just bought three mini cartons of ice cream!" Blaze said after we grabbed our things, giving her keys to the mansion's valet.
I rolled my eyes at her 'cat walk'. Blaze always believed she was the one who owned the place; yes she does have a spare key card…but so do I. We've been to Clo's Off-White mansion with Gold trimmings often enough to call it our second home.
Blaze calls it her sanctuary since she lives in a run-down apartment by herself. I slung my back over my shoulder and greeted the few butlers who were busting about to hold our things and I politely refused the offer.
Blaze however….
"Of Course Andrew, and I'll love a sparkling soda please" she said in a snotty tone making both the butler and I chuckle.
" ' Sup Andy?" I said giving the young butler a fist bump.
The Chocolate Brown Hedgehog was dressed in the classic black and white three piece suit; his usual unruly hair he wore proudly to school, was slicked back completely, giving you a better look at his pale green eyes and toothy grin. The Ausie was one of the most talented hacker in the entire school and other hidden talents…
"Nothing much, just enjoying being paid for holding shit" he chuckled beside me as we followed Blaze inside.
"You like the new job then?" I asked as we entered the massive entry way.
"Hell, I love this place! Aside for the polite speaking; it's pretty awesome. Can't thank you enough for the suggestion Mellie" his thick Australian accent spilled out.
"Any time" I smiled brightly.
"Clo should be in her room, she's been bummed ever since she came home" he said with a sigh.
I glanced around at all the decorations being torn down; maids in their uniforms were running about, trying to erase that there ever was a pre-ball taking place.
Damn that cocky Hedgehog. I growled inwardly.
"Here ya are" he said as we came across a mint green door with dark green vines and roses painted all around it.
"Thank You Andrew, your dismissed" Blaze said taking back her two bags.
We both rolled our eyes at her before he parted, giving us a polite bow that was a part of his code. It was nice seeing both sides of him at once.
We barged in without knocking just before a large vase was flung our way, making us jump out of the way. Blaze took off on all fours and arched her back and hissed after impact while I ducked and rolled; summoning my hammer in a battle stance.
"Help!" Clo cried.
"What the…" Blaze and I said in horror.
Clo panted like she had run a marathon, and by the looks of her room. She DESTROYED a ton of things…and Flora was freely helping her.
We rushed over to her enveloping her in a hug, making her break down completely.
Clover was an only child, so of course she was used to getting her own way. However, that would be the case if her parents were ever around. The only time she gets to see them, is for certain holidays; and those aren't even promised. There was a time I invited her over for Christmas because both parents took a last minute flight to have their own Christmas vacation; forgetting their daughter completely. Don't worry though, they apologized with a brand new car she hardly drives.
"I was forgotten" she sobbed "Completely and utterly forgotten"
"Clo, those people don't care about you; we do and we didn't forget you" Blaze assure her.
I nodded in agreement. "Beside, we have ice cream all to ourselves"
She glanced up at the both of us and sniffed. "Rocky Road?"
Blaze and I exchanged smug looks before nodding, making her beam.
Tree hours of stuffing our face with junk, braiding each other's hair and we were already beginning to completely relax in the comfort of Clo's bed. Blaze was curled up into a purple ball at my feet and Clo made herself comfortable on my stomach while I stuffed pillows behind my back, engrossed in the television.
An annoying shrill of a phone went of but no one moved. Seconds after it stopped the sound came again.
"Clo is that your phone?" Blaze hissed in annoyance.
"Dunno, don't care" she said stuffing her face with popcorn. "I'm definitely trying that jump kick on Broody" she mumbled.
A knock came at the door a few minutes after the phone stopped rinign.
"Come in" We all said before giggling.
It was Andy.
"What is it Drew?" Clo asked casually.
"Uh, there's a Broddy the Bird here to see you?" Andy said with his sweat dropped.
We all groaned in union before the large blonde bird came bowling in.
"Guys! You're not gonna believe this!" he aid standing directly in front of the television.
"And a-"Andy began
The light suddenly came on making us all hiss in pain.
"Sonic's throwing a party nearby!" Arty said out of breath.
"I think we know that already" Blaze said rolling her eyes.
"No! you don't get it! His theme is Pre-Fall Formal Party" he continued.
"Oh great, now he stole the name too?" Clo said in a bored tone.
"No!" the both yelled. "He threw you party in your honor with him being the special guest! He made you look AWESOME!"
"He made it seem as though you knew he was coming all along and that you were throwing him a welcome to New Haven Party along with your annual Fall Formal"
"What?!" we all said in union.
The two guys were beaming like brand new light bulbs and the girls and I exchanged exiting glances.
"Are you serious right now?" Clo whispered.
"We are" Brody nodded with a smile on his face.
It warmed my heart to see his reaction to Clo's excitement. Right then she rocketed off the bed and slammed into Brody's arms making his cheeks flare red.
"Thank You" she sniffed, holding on to him firmly.
Body coughed and slowly wrapped his arms around her making the room burst into a fit of "aww's"
Clo removed herself from his grip; giving him one last smile before turning back to us.
"Well, what are you guys waiting for?! Let's go!"
"Clo…pijamas?" I smiled with humor.
"Right! Shoo you two." She said shooing all three boys out the door, speeding towards her bathroom.

"Mimi, it won't feel right if you're not there" Clo complained parking her car.
The club that the party was stationed at was…very well decorated.
Especially for him….
"Mimi"
"What? Oh! I mean I don't feel like going to a party right now and…besides I didn't have any clothes like Blaze did" I rolled my eyes.
"You have to be prepared for anything" she purred.
A firm knock on the window made my ears twitch and my attention ws turned to a grinning Brody. He opened Clo's door and she rolled her eyes and stepped out, and I saw that smile…oh yes I idid.
I stepped out along with the others, and I could feel the ground puling beneath my feet from the music inside.
"Definitely not my kind of…'ball'" I laughed awkwardly.
"Aw Jade, you sure?" Brody frowned.
"Posotive. You guys need to have fun, and keep an eye on the party cat will you Arty?"
"Don't have to tell me twice" he smiled, licking his lips at Blaze's attire.
Blaze was wearing long, white jeans, a red bra-like top that showed off her flat stomach accompanied with a purple open-jacket.
"And you." I said hugging Clo. "Need to have the most fun of all"" I smiled.
She waved me off before grinning from ear to ear and I could see the excitement dancing in her eyes.
"You sure I still can't convince you to come?"
"Im still in jammies, no way am I going in there, I'll just stop by the hospital to check up on Shade" I shrugged.
"Alrighty then, get back safely; I know I should've called Andew-"
"Clo! Go have fun" I laughed pushing her towards Brodie's open hand.
"Fine Fine. Love you. Be safe"
"I should be telling you that party animal"
"Enough chit chat let's go!"
"She's had too many glasses of champagne before we left…" I explained to the guys.
"Right…" they said with their sweat dropped; Arty hot in Blazes trail.

"Damnit to hell!" I growled.
I slammed Clo's door, not caring if I damaged it since I practically damaged the damn thing already.
When Shade wasn't answering his cell, I got worried and decided to speed while texting; smart I know. I swiveled after almost colliding with a minivan that blared their horn at me making me swerve into a lamppost, causing it to fall and crash into the front of the car; damaging my phone and bruising me in different places.
"Great, destroyed car, messed up phone, minivan is gone" I grumbled. I felt a warm substance drip from my temple and I used y gloved hand to wipe it off and I groaned after looking at my stained hand.
"Annnndd im bleeding. Wonderful."
"Now that's unfortunate" a familiar voice chuckled.
I snapped my head into the direction of the voice and growled. "What do you want Fiona?"
"Me? Nothing. You on the other hand look like your in some deep trouble."
"What are you even doing on this side of town? And where the heck did you come from?" I said folding my arms.
"None of your business really" she shrugged.
"Oh, then I'm none of your business, keep stepping" I spat.
"Ouch, that one touched me…right there" she said dramatically touching her heart.
"As if you had a heart to hurt"
"Very true" she smiled smugly holding up her hands. "Lets get to the point her kid" she said with a smile, holding a stance.
"Your picking a fight with a unarmed innocent teen?" I asked in a bored tone. "Don't you have a party to go to?"
"Why go to a distraction when I have work to do?" she said before lunging at me.
I ducked before getting into a battle stance myself, summoning my hammer.
"Unarmed" she laughed.
"You attacked, im just defending myself" I smirked, standing from my crouch. "Unless you want to be on the defensive side? Because I can change that pretty quickly"
That ticked her off. She bared her fangs at me and rushed me again and I gave her my all with my hammer,making my arms burn at the heavy sensation of the swing and the satisfaction of hitting her square in the face. My hammer flw with her; since I haven't used it often, let alone give a swing like that.
She laid unconscious on the ground and I bent over, to hold my knees and pant.
"Man Im out of shape."
"Sorry I'm late a deep voice said from behind me. Before I could look around, I felt a sharp pain at the side on my face, throwing me against the battered car. I coughed harshly, making my chest burn and blood drip from my lips. I brushed it off and glanced up at my attacker.
He was just standing there, his face was blurry but seemed familiar. His bright amber orbswere full of regret and shock as if he couldn't believe he just hit me.
"What, you wanna apologize now?" I laughed bitterly. " Your not forgiven" I growled, summoning my hammer once again.
"Whoa, t-take it easy " he said taking a few steps backwards.
"Yeah say that to my face dick!" I yelled arching back for a swing.
As pulled vigorously in my hammer, once again feeling the strong yank at my muscles, a gust of wind passed me viciously just then, I felt a pair of hands, suddenly holding me against another body, one hand gentle on my back; yet I felt the sharp slap from its speed of contact; and another under the crook of my legs holding me securely.
And I was quickly removed from my target/attacker with no effort.
As soon as my feet touched the ground again I swung with all that I had and was satisfied with the grunt that came from my hammers victim.
"gee you save a girl and you get pounded as a reward" his voice said
"I was going to hit him but u interrupted so you took the blow" I said leaning on my trusted hammer.
"Guess I deserved it" Sonic said standing up.
"Right" I huffed leaning against my trusted hammer.
He was wearing loose black shorts that matched his shoes that had a sliver buckle and he wore a emerald Green shirt with a white undershirt beneath it; matching his eyes perfectly.
"We need to talk" he sighed.
"Thanks for saving me" I breathed out instead.
"Anytime...Ames-"
"I don't want to talk Hedgehog" I said firmly.
"But I do. Ames look, I'm sorry for dropping in like this, I'm sorry for messing up your friends party. I didn't know-Fiona thought it was-Arg!"
I glanced at him pacing and a small smile crept up my face at the sight of him so flustered.
Feel my pain
"Ames I'm just-not good at this whole apology thing and...God just!-"
He grabbed me roughly at my arm and yanked me into his arms, enveloping me in everything Sonic.
"S-Sonic...?"
"Just...just a little longer"
"I'm not comfortable..."
He sighed and allowed me to breathe. I watched him from behind my bangs and he was scratching the back of his neck, his muzzle turning a slight pink.
"Where are we anyway?" I asked rubbing my shoulders for warmth.
"The park" he said after draping my shoulders with his green shirt.
"Its pretty at night" I said quickly trying to hide my blush at his gesture.
I marveled at the midnight black lake, and the moons reflection shimmering against the water. The light breeze blew on the grass and it looked picture perfect.
"Yeah" he said
I glanced over to see a small smile on his face as he stared at the lake, I felt blood rising in my cheeks and a ba-thump in my chest. I quickly looked away.
You just forgot how his smile looked , that's all. I thought to myself.
"Ames?" he asked amusingly
"Yeah?!" I said clearly frightened
"Whys' your face red?" he snickered
"S-So is yours!" I accused lamely.
"I have a pretty good reason why it's red" he coughed.
"Let's hear it then your hormones raging? Did you get kicked out of your own party?"
"You're here..." he smirked.
Damn Him. Damn him to the bloody pits of hell.
"Don't take this the wrong way, but why are you here?" I asked curiously
"Here as in...right here right now?" he asked making himself comfortable on the grass.
"Yes-No, i meant- How did you know i was there?" I asked carefully sitting beside him, a few inches apart for safety.
"I saw Fiona slip out as soon as your friends came in." he sighed. "I knew I couldn't trust her, but I never knew she would come after you like that...is that-normal for you guys?" he asked with his sweat dropped.
"Your asking if its normal that me and Fiona were at each others throats?" I scoffed, lifting a brow.
"Good Point" he chuckled.
"Seriously though. No. She's just been a pain in my ass ever since I moved here. Shade mentioned them being a thing one time but-Shit! Shade!" I panicked, scrambling to my feet. "Dammit my phones busted! And So is Clo;s car!"
"And so are you" he said worriedly looking at my bruises for the first time,
I yanked my hand away and glared at him. "I'm fine, I need to call Shade and Clo. Give me your phone" i said reaching my hand out to him.
Sonic gave me a worried expression before handing me his Phone and i stared at it in confusion.
"What the heck is this?"
"My phone?"
"No, the brand, the shape...everything's so...weird"
"Oh, Tails designed it. It was a birthday gift for Cream; he launched a new kind of phone in honor of Cheese's death" he smiled warmly.
"Cheese...died?"
"Yeah...poor fella got snatched into an Egg-trap before it exploded." he said softly, his ears drooping.
"And i wasn't there for her..." I sniffed. "I wasn't there for Cream..God I miss her."
"So does she. We all do." he smiled sadly. "Stop holding back would ya?" he said pulling me into his chest.
I cried, I swear to you I cried like the cry-baby I am. I took two handfuls of Sonic's shirt and bawled like a baby. It hurt...it freaking hurt...I calmed down a bit and noticed where I was, in his chest, wrapped in his arms. And he was soothing me..his fur was soft to the touch, my hands somehow ended up at the hem of his jeans and his soft fur was brushing my fingers lightly, he smelled...like alcohol, party...drinking...girls...shit Fiona. I quickly removed myself and scurried inches away from him. His eyes widened but a small smile was on his lips.
"You okay?" he asked chuckling
"Y-yeah just got too close too fast" I blushed looking away
He chuckled again.
"You said something about Fiona leaving the party after my friends left...Did you see the guy who was with her. He's about your height...maybe a little taller...and grey-ish fur, like..."
"Like your boyfriend?" he said in a bored tone.
"Yes! Shade! Shit why do I keep forgetting to call him?!" i powered the phone to life and was surprised to see no pass-code.
"No pass-code?" i asked while looking for the dial pad.
"It's fingerprint recognition. Only the members of The Sonic Team have access to it."
"Welcome Rose" the small Chao avatar appeared on the screen
This...is cool, I've got to have one" I said looking at the details of the phone.
"I'll ring Tails about it?" he chuckled.
"Uh, can you pull up the dial pad?" i asked the floating avatar.
"Voice recognition approved. Dial Pad" it smiled before showing me a transparent dial pad with an image displayed behind it.
I smiled at the image and i could feel Sonic's presence behind me.
"That was your last battle with us.." he said softly.
"Yeah. The last" i said emphasizing on the last word. I entered my boyfriends number, giving myself some distance between Sonic and I as I walked away a bit. I placed it over my ear and winced at my tender spot that was bruised as well. As the ringing began, my head began to spin at the noise, making my face cringe and my head throb. I held my head from the pain and felt the warmth through my gloves. O returned my hand to my face and i stared at my fully red hand before me before the line clicked and i heard his voice.
"Hello? This is Shade"
"Shade-"
"Amy?! Babe what's the matter?"
The next thing i felt was a par of arms around me, holding me protectively against his chest, Sonic lowered us down to the floor before taking the phone from me, making my hand drop lifelessly to the ground with a thud.
"Listen, she was in an accident-"
Here Ends another Chapter! Look Out For Chapter 5!
Confessions with Him
"Sonic T. Hedgehog where the heck are you?" she screeched
"Visiting a friend" I answred plainly
"Male or female?" she hissed.
"Why should you care?" I asked her
"Well! I don't know, maybe because my boyfriend left without a freaking word to me?! And where the hell is all your stuff?" she screamed.
"Sally look, I had enough alright?"
