Chapter 1: Treetop Trips

"I sat in the tree and watched. I watched you from afar. Wishing I could tell you that you're my shining star."-Silver T. Hedgehog

Silver adjusted his binoculars. In the center of the lenses Sonic sat in the window of his second-story house. He was however not napping like most of you Sonic-X fans would like to think, but he was actually reading a book. It was rare peaceful moments like these that Silver loved to see. After all most people knew Sonic as the Knight of the Wind (specifically the wind that never stopped moving.) Most of them never saw the calm wind. But Silver did. He always enjoyed the sight, to say the least.

Silver shifted is weight to the other foot. Unseen to him in the background below his current location a pair of ruby red eyes stared, predatorial- looking in nature, but in truth just curious as to what the white, ironically named hedgehog was doing. He stared ahead in the direction Silver was looking and with his enhanced vision saw Sonic sitting in the window. Many mischievous thoughts crossed his mind at the realization, but one stood out:

'If I'm going to get involved…I might as well make this fun.'

The red-eyed one crept forward in his predatorial way, hidden in the darkness of the shrubs-not including his always-prominent red markings …and that small splatter of grey? What's he up to?

Meanwhile our white friend was completely oblivious to his little visitor until..."WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING UP THERE!"

Silver jolted in surprise, throwing his binoculars up into the air in the process. Apparently that wasn't embarrassing enough for whatever evil entity cursing Silver at the moment, because right then Silver lost his balance and fell flat on his face. His ear twitched at the sound of footsteps while his leg twitched in pain from the fall. He was going to feel that for weeks.

A different set of ears twitched at the sound of rushing air. Our red-eyed friend looked up to see the binoculars Silver had tossed coming back down.

'Wait for it.' He braced himself.

'Wait for it.' The binoculars approached ever faster.

'Now!' There was a flash of light just before the binoculars collided with Silver's head making the moment all the more hilarious.

The flash of light didn't go unnoticed to Silver's closed eyes. Thinking it might be lightning he ignored the added pain of the collision and lifted his head to look at the sky. The funny thing was there wasn't a cloud in sight.

He frowned, somewhat confused. Turning his head to the side, he saw none other than his friend, Shadow, laughing his ass off at the hilarious picture he'd taken. If you hadn't guessed it already the grey splatter in his hand was a camera.

Silver noticed the camera and a vein popped on his forehead.

'That explains the flash.'

"Would you mind explaining to me why you find nearly killing me twice is so funny," Silver fumed.

Shadow stopped laughing long enough to reply, "I won't mind as long as you explain how I nearly killed you twice."

Silver jabbed an accusing finger in the direction of the tree, "Once by heart attack." He referred to Shadow purposely yelling extremely loud to scare the shit out of him.

The finger turned to the spot where he previously laid in pain, "Twice by causing me to break my neck." He referred to his painful fall.

Shadow laughed a sarcastic laugh and then put on a serious face, "It's funny for the same reason as some random guy who gets hit in the balls on AFV. We've all got a sick sense of humor."

Silver couldn't argue with that, "Ok, good point. Moving on!" He turned to leave but was stopped by Shadow stepping in front of him.

"Where do you think you're going?" Even though he didn't mean It, the red-eyed furry appeared rather intimidating.

But Silver just thought 'Oh hell no.'

Silver stepped around him. "Home. Why, did you want something?" He was not in the mood for Shadow's mindfuck shenanigans today.

A scoff escaped the ebony hedgehog's lips. "You're not even going to try to talk to him?"

Silver didn't want to entertain the thought of Shadow knowing about his attraction to the Knight of the Wind so he played it safe, "Talk to whom?"

And again the scoff was heard from the ebony. "Don't play dumb with me Silver. You know very well who I'm talking about."

Ivory snapped, "Look it's none of your damn business. I'll talk to him when I'm ready."

That smacking sound you heard was the sound of Shadow face palming.

Then he proceeded to deadpan, "And when is that going to be? Never?"

Silver sighed, "It's not like I can just tell him. He might not even swing that way."

Shadow took a bold step placing an ebony hand on the ivory's shoulder. "You know if you ever need someone to talk to I'm here," were the comforting words he had to offer.

Another sad sigh from the ivory, "I know Shadow. I know." A small sad smile was shown to the ebony as a thank you, in return for his efforts.

A familiar turquoise glow surrounded Silver causing Shadow to pull his hand from the ivory's shoulder. Silver waved a short goodbye as he levitated himself off the ground. Then in bright flash of turquoise he was gone, rocketing through the sky faster than the speed of sound. Telekinesis is a handy ability to say the least.

"And that's what happened," Silver ended his recollection of the time captured in the photo.

Sonic exclaimed, "Hey, I remember that! I heard you fall out of the tree. I was going to go down and see if you were ok but Shadow looked like he had it covered. I'd wondered what you were talking about but I didn't think much of it at the time."

In the second story window of his home, Sonic, who'd been watching since Silver fell out of the tree, wondered what the two could've been talking about. He dropped the thought with a shrug.

'Whatever it was it surely couldn't have been about me, could it?'

"Ah well, guess it doesn't matter much now." The blue blur grinned, "Now what about this one?" He pointed to the second oldest picture. The picture was of the two of them in a coffee shop. Amy had somehow managed to tag along. Shadow and his camera just happened to be there by coincidence.

"This was when I took Shadow's advice. I arranged that date at Dunkin Donuts and Amy somehow ended up coming along," he growled, irritated at the memory. At the time Amy had known how Silver felt about Sonic and did her best to intercept whenever she could. She wasn't about to have that "pasty nerd" get a hold of her Sonic. With a frown disrupting his previously calm features, Silver took on his reminiscing pose once more.

Thanks for reading! Review plz! :D
