Ghost Hunt - Silent Christmas

Chapter 10: Drunk

Sonic and Knuckles turned around the corner of the stairs heading down while talking to each other. Just before they stepped on the last step Mina appeared with a smile on her face. Sonic stopped abruptly and Knuckles was taken aback flinching. She glanced at Knuckles which startled him even more.

"Can I borrow Sonic?" She inquired, her smile seeming too bright for Knuckles to handle.

He nervously looked away and gave Sonic a wave good-bye. Sonic gave him a look of disbelief that his friend abandoned him so easily. Sonic raised his hand up to his forehead, pressings his fingers hard on it, annoyed.

"You should really stop this." He began in a low voice.

"Stop what?" Mina turned her head looking at him innocently.

"Whatever it is you're doing. I know it was you who sent Rouge and Shade," Sonic said in a matter a factly, his hand falling.

"Was it? Anyway, I have to say something." She said hastily.

"Again?" Sonic muttered, crossing his arms.

"Don't look tense. Relax a bit. I'm not here to confess my unrequired love or anything." She teased.

Sonic's mouth quirked. "Good, that puts me at ease."

"Haha," Her hands clenching into fists. Sonic's rolled his eyes seeing as how he pulled a nerve. Typical of a girl to contradict herself, he thought. But she had that one coming.

"Anyway," Mina started with a smile. "Have you heard of the Christmas party going on later at night?"

Sonic groaned already not interested. "If you want me to go then you're wasting your time." He said turning around.

"Hey! It's not polite to leave when a girl's talking." Mina said giggling after him. Sonic looked over his shoulder, but was turned over when Mina grabbed his arm and spun him around to a wall on the side.

Sonic glowered yanking his hand away, "Stop,"

"It's going to be at Jet's. You should consider going." She said and leaned in whispering, "Or you'll miss out."

Sonic's mouth opened, but the words never came out. Around the corner he heard a familiar faint laugh and his eyes automatically searched around, but he kept a still look on his face making it difficult for Mina to read.

"Speaking of night. Are you busy then?"

That was Jet's voice. Sonic recognized it very well. And he was talking to Amy. Sonic glanced back at Mina. "There's no need for me to go." He was getting tired of Mina's constant persisting. School hadn't even started yet and he already had to deal with this early in the morning.

"I'll even invite Sonic for you."

Sonic turned his head again thinking he heard his name around the corner, but he turned back quickly focusing on Mina. He found himself secretly listening into their conversation. He wanted to leave...

"Hope you can come." She said wiggling her fingers as a goodbye and walked away leaving Sonic's side.

Mina left and Sonic's eyes steadied at the leaving figure. What a strange coincidence that Amy and Jet were just around the corner from him and Mina. Even stranger was that they were both being invited to this party simultaneously by different partners.

He scowled. This was planned, but why?

Sonic was going to walk away not wanting part of any scheme if Mina had created one, but his feet wouldn't move.

He could still hear them talking in the distance.

He leaned on the wall quietly as Jet and Amy finished their conversation.

But when it finished disappointment filled around Amy's answer. He closed his eyes tightly, his head resting on the wall.

Her answer irritated him. She'd given in to his request even though she knew clearly the responsibility she had and she was doing fine until Jet replied back with a weakness. "I thought we were friends"

No control over her emotions was going to drive her in the wrong direction. His eyes opened. Seeing her suddenly pass right by him from the corner put him at edge. He secretly prayed she wouldn't turn around and she didn't. She was deep in thought.

He watched her leave and sighed.

From the experiences of being with her Amy was pretty tough and had her wise moments. Even with that answer said he expected Amy to rethink things clearly and take in mind about her more important tasks.

He didn't understand it well, but it was because she was strong willed that he didn't approach her. Would it be the party or to study? This was to be her own personal life test.

(And she failed that too xD)

Dressed in a comfy coat and a red flowy dress under with leggings and some boots, Amy walked the cold street looking down at her phone's written directions. The wind blew fresh air onto her cool cheeks and she huddled closer to her scarf. Her head lifted and she looked around the large houses around. They almost looked like mansions.

She was left in awe at the sight that one of these houses held a party of only students from her house and to think she had been invited to it. As she continued down, soon the sound of music rang in her ears. A few houses away, a large brown house were lit in bright lights and from the windows figures could be seen walking around with cups in their hands.

Her jaw opened and she fixed herself quickly, making her appearance looked like she hadn't walked there and wasn't tired. The wind messed up her quills quite a bit, but she smoothed it over. Then she made her way to the opened door where a group stood by the door laughing and cracking jokes.

Amy approached them and with a light smile at them she gave her excuse, but one of them didn't move. "What? Who are you?"

"I'm Amy. I was invited." Amy said nervously. The group gave each other blank confused stares and the guy leaning on the doorway leaned forward. "Flunk girl? Why would anyone invite you?"

Amy stepped back with narrowed eyes. "Mina invited me."

"Mina?" The guy raised an eyebrow and his head turned to look over his shoulder. "Hey! Mina!"

Amy leaned to the side and Mina came to view. She wasn't too deep into the crowd. She was talking to some girls near some stairs not too far from the entrance. When Mina turned and spotted Amy peeking by the doorway she gasped, and excused herself so that she could head over.

"Did you invite flunk girl?" The guy asked scornfully.

"Hey," Mina said firmly and gave Amy an apologetic look. "C'mon."

She took Amy's arm and pulled her in and glanced at the boys around. She gave them a smile which gave them made them uncomfortable. Amy looked over at Mina. "Thanks Mina."

"Don't mention it. Jet's waiting outside." Mina said, pushing them past the crowd. Inside the house was hot a sticky, making it hard to breath. It smelled strongly of beer and smoke. Holding her breath until they reached the backyard, Amy's mouth separated in excitement.

There was a DJ playing some music. There were torches that gave out heat to those who sat on some couches. Students danced near the DJ, jumping in sync to the sound of the music.

Amy gasped her eyes popping. Mina grinned and pulled her to one of the couches where Jet sat with a purple weasel.

"Jet!" Mina called making him turn. His eyes caught Amy and he stood up with a large grin.

"Hey!" He eyed her top to bottom and chuckled. "Looking good,"

Amy blushed and giggled. "Thank you."

The weasel next to him got up to and smirked at her. "So, this's the famous Flu- I mean Amy."

Amy's heart pounded hard on her chest. Someone new. The first thing she had to do was introduce herself, but he already knew her. She smiled at him. "Nice to meet you," was all she could bring out.

"Ye. Name's Nack. Nack the Weasel." He tipped his brown hat and gave her a little wink.

Amy beamed her cold cheeks warming up with the blush in her cheeks. Jet laughed and wrapped an arm around Amy's shoulder. "Now let's party!"

"Bring us some drinks, Doug!" Nack yelled at one of his friends while Mina and Jet laughed along with Amy.

The music was loud but the students all talked over it, straining their voices so that they could be heard. Amy could hear the hooting coming from inside the house. Nack made his friend bring them some drinks of the four of them. As Jet talked to Amy, Mina slipped in some power on one of the drinks Nack brought. That was the drink she handed over to Amy.

"Cheers!" Jet announced, rising his cup. "To us friends," and they all followed ending it with a taste of the soda drink.

Amy gasped and looked at the cup. Friends. It was amazing how far she'd come from being the loneliest girl in school to being part of a group at a party. And all she and to do was try just like Sonic said.

Sonic…

She lowered her drink.

He was the reason why she was how she was now. He may not admit it, but he guided her a bit, always there helping her when she needed it the most. A feebly smile appeared on her lips. She didn't want to feel bad, but the guilt was tugging at her heart. He was probably at home, angrily cursing out her name. After all, he bent his own rules a bit just so that she was content.

"Stay away from my personal space!"

'No'

She shook her head and held her cup tightly. Even with all the help he'd given her, he didn't consider her his friend. Probably too embarrassed to tell anyone too because she wasn't smart like him. She convinced herself with that thought and smiled confidently.

She was going to forget about it tonight, and leave all her troubles for her tomorrow's self. Right now she deserved this and raised the cup up to chug it down. Mina stared at her carefully, sipping a bit of her own too.

The party continued.

Sodas that were being given were replaced with alcohol. The clouds became a darker shade of gray soon promising snow to fall at any minute. It had been an hour into the party and it was Amy's third and last cup of soda. Amy's eyes caught the sight, but she giggled when she received the cup from Mina and without hesitation drank up not leaving a single sip behind. She gasped for air and hooted lifting the cup up.

Jet chuckled seeing Amy drugged. It was like she had transformed into a whole other personality. Amy laughed as Nack told her something. Mina sat with a bunch of girls on a couch across from Jet, drinking.

Jet scooted closer to Amy and leaned in to Amy's ear. "Having fun?"

Amy shuttered the warm air from his mouth tickling her ear and she turned to him. "Yea!" She yelled through the sound of the music. Jet smirked and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"Hey, can I ask you something?" He asked loudly as the music slowly increased in volume. The DJ was turning things up.

"Yea. Whas up?" She drawled giggling uncontrollably.

"How close is Sally to you?" He asked, but Amy's responded blinking confusingly at him as if he'd spoken gibberish. Jet pulled her closer to him. "C'mon Amy. Tell me. Are you, Sally and Sonic close buddies?"

"Buddies? Yea, youcanbe my buddies!" Amy said loudly, giggling in the middle of her sentence. Jet gritted his teeth and looked around finding Nack receiving a beer bottle from a friend.

"Hey Nack!" Jet called out. "Get me one."

Meanwhile, Amy began randomly fist pumping with the sound of the music when a large beer bottle came to view and Amy stared at it mesmerized. Jet grinned shaking it in front of her.

"Take a sip, Amy."

Mina's head turned to look at how Amy was doing. Seeing Amy taking a swing at her empty beer bottle, Mina's stood up from the couch, eyes popped out. "Jet!"

Jet turned with a grin. Mina went over to him and took the empty beer bottle off Amy's hands. "No~" Amy drawled softly.

"We said she wasn't going to get drunk. Then she won't be able to talk." She growled under her breath. Jet laughed, "I got it under control. Right Amy?" He leaned into her neck, nuzzling her. Amy giggled and Mina gave them a look of disgust.

Jet rose from the couch, his hand coiled with Amy's. He pulled her up and she almost stumbled forward. "Weee!~"

Now she was drunk. "We'll be right back." He told her with a wink. Mina looked scared, but she didn't follow.

Jet dragged Amy passed the students and going into the house. Mina slapped her forehead. 'What are you doing?'

Amy's mind was clouded. She didn't really know what was going on around her. Everything around her was loud, it was hot and she was growing weary. Jet pulled her up some stairs and onto a large hallway. Hardly anyone was around and probably most of the rooms were being occupied, she he pushed Amy roughly to a wall.

Jet huskily whispered into her ear. "Did Sonic let you borrow those notes, last time?"

"Sonic?" Amy repeated hiccupping.

"Yea. What is he to you? Why is he hanging around with a girl other than Sally?"

"Wha's he to me?" Amy said muddled.

Jet narrowed his eyebrows, but he leaned forward pressing his lips on her bare neck. "Pretend I'm Sonic. What would you tell him?"

Amy whimpered pushing at his chest. "No! No! Jet, dis wrong,"

Jet groaned getting tired that no good information was slipping out of Amy. He grabbed her arms tightly and shook her. "Talk Amy. Why did Sally take you into her group so easily? Why did you have Sonic's notes?! Are you secretly important to him?"

Her head spun rapidly with each question. Her stomach was aching and her throat was dry. She wasn't giggly anymore and her energy was draining away from his shaking her. Amy's hand rested on his arms and Amy shook her head vigorously. "I don't want dis! I waanna daaance!"

Jet laughed darkly. "You wanna dance? Alright, fine! Let's dance."

Jet pressed her whole body up against the wall and Amy yelped feeling Jet lift her body up. Hands traveled down her waist feeling her curves. It scared Amy and she pushed her hands up at Jet's face.

"No! Jet!? Thisisn'tdancing!" she cried her words tumbling from her mouth in a rush.

But he wasn't stopping and her head was aching. Amy growled peevishly and her hand lifted up popping out her hammer.

"Amy!?"

Amy swung her hammer at Jet sending him flying across the hall to the other wall hard. Amy's head turned to the side. Even with her vision distorted she could make out the color blue in front of her. The figure who called out her name was none other than Sonic. She laughed stumbling and placed her hammer on the floor so she could lean for support. In her fuddled point of view there stood two of them, staring at her shockingly.

Sonic rushed over grabbing her arms and moving it around his shoulder before she lost balance and fell. Reaching her side he grimaced from the strong odor of alcohol coming from her. She was beyond thinking yet she was able to defend herself against Jet, but now wasn't the time to look impressed.

"Idiot!" Sonic hissed her arm draping around his shoulder.

"Dammit!"

Sonic glanced at Jet who was getting up from the ground holding his head. He sent daggers at Amy, but his face wiped clean when Sonic came in plain view. A large dark grin plastered on his face.

"So, you actually came. You already missed half of the party." Jet laughed, gazing over at Amy. Amy nodded groggily agreeing but Sonic ignored her keeping her on her feet.

"Na, I didn't miss much." Sonic said simply with a smile. "Your types of parties aren't fun. That's why hardly anyone ever comes."

Jet's gnashed his teeth and lifted both his hands up. "Fucker,"

Sonic sent the same glare back at Jet, but Sonic didn't make any fighting movements. He had to get Amy out of here. Sonic bent over, one arm going under her legs and the other supporting her back, carrying her bridal style.

"Next time you have a question for me, ask me personally." He rebuked, the glint in his eyes giving away the calmly control tone of his voice. Sonic disappeared before his eyes leaving Jet to curse under his breath. Beyond irritated at this point, he found no other way to vex but to slam his fist hard on the wall.

XXx

"The worlds…spinnin'!" Amy hooted loudly next to Sonic's ear making him abruptly stop in the middle of an empty sidewalk. Amy hiccupped and blinked absently up at him. "Oh! Es Sonic" She slurred, pointing up at him.

It was revolting to see her out of control and wild. He wasn't used to this. He set her down on the pavement to get some fresh air and away from her strong intoxicating smell.

Her feet gave up on her instantly and she slumped to the floor. "My feet are gone why are my feet gone—Oh wait! They're here. Hahaha!"

Sonic rubbed his grave expression face thinking on how he was going to get her home. She couldn't possible become sober in a matter of seconds and she smelled. She'd stink up her room and their parents would fit if they discovered her condition. Not to mention it was late at night.

Amy scrambled to her feet and staggered pointing at Sonic. "Dance with me! I wanna dance," she demanded.

Sonic glowered, "You drunken idiot," He began slowly, but his voice rose soon after. "How the hell are you supposed to go home looking like this!"

Amy laughed bubbly, "You mad brah?"

"Of course I'm mad!" Sonic growled, "You knew you weren't supposed to go! Yet you let Jet coax you like that! Are you legally idiotic!?"

"Stop yellin'!" Amy cried closing her eyes tightly and covering her ears with her hands.

"And then here I come, like an idiot as well, saving your ass,!" Sonic spat throwing his hands in the air.

"Stop screamin' you big jerk!" Amy yelled back her eyes shooting up at him angrily.

"I'm the jerk!?" Sonic roared jabbing his thumb on his chest. "If it weren't for me Jet could've—!"

Sonic stopped mid-way and groaned rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm arguing with a drunk." He reminded himself and took a breath releasing it hoarsely.

"I just wanted to dance," Amy said sadness seeping in her voice.

Sonic looked around his surroundings hoping they weren't troubling anyone, but it was empty. He needed to think fast. What alternatives did he have and how could he use them ? Amy left telling her dad that she went to a friend's house to 'study'? He watched Amy wobble around with a sulking face. Amy reeked of alcohol, could hardly think for herself and her emotions were jumbled.

A thought popped out and he sighed. He had no other choice.

"Let's go," He said reaching for Amy's hand.

"Where we goin'?" Amy asked moving back so he wouldn't take her hand.

"I'm taking you to Sally's. She'll help out." He said hastily, taking her hand anyway.

"Why Sally?" Amy asked sizzling with angry.

Sonic's blinked. "She's you're friend."

"Why is it always Sally this Sally that!? Always her, huh?!" She seethed.

"What are you saying?"

Then he remembered she was drunk and he rolled his eyes. He turned around pulling her, but she was fighting back. Her feet planted on the floor and using all of the force she had to evade him from dragging her his way, she shook her head saying, "Don't go with Sally. Don't leave me!"

Her truth emotions were spilling out and unaware of it, Amy continued. It left Sonic puzzled why she looked so against the idea of going to Sally's.

"I'm not leaving you. I'm going with you." Sonic growled, pulling her a few steps forward. She was strong considering she was drunk and a bit smaller than him. "I'm trying to help you!"

Amy's force gave in and Sonic's strong hand, which was the only hand left pulling, sent them both flying to the floor. Amy landed on Sonic and Sonic flat on his back. "You," He began grimacing.

Amy's head lifted tears threating her. "Really?"

"Yea! Why wouldn't I?"

"Because, you hate stupid girls like me." Amy sadly stammered.

"The hell?" Sonic gasped, leaning back on his hands and rising up in a sitting position with Amy. "If anything I don't like you drunk, but I don't hate you."

"You don't hate me?" Amy squeaked sounding surprised. "Then why are you sooo mean to me?"

"It's because you're stupid that I'm mean." He admitted a bit annoyed, but his look was growing soft. His eyes searched hers under the dim lighting.

"Jerk!" Amy snapped, punching his chest and Sonic laughed making Amy stop. His laughing was soothing and relaxing, like a song tone ringing in her ears. Her eyes found his emerald orbs and put her in a trance.

"But that doesn't mean I hate you." He stated with a smile. "Hopefully you're not drunk enough to forget that Jet isn't a good guy. He isn't and never was your friend."

"But now I only have one friend..."

"What are you talking about? You still have another one right here." He chuckled.

Utter bliss skittered across the girl's features and the tears that had threatened gushed out. To hear him saying that to her was a wish come true. Sonic laughed wiping the tears off her flushed cheeks.

In her mind, Sonic wasn't sounding like the Sonic she was so used to being with. This was a completely different atmosphere he brought. Amy's eyes fell half-way gazing at him passionately. He was mean and yes he had told her he didn't want to interact with her, but even so his actions never followed up his words. Always looking out for her, talking to her, letting her cook with him, his smile when he'd thank her and his smirk when he was teasing her. Saving her from her own disaster, he showed her the exact opposite.

Jet had told her that he didn't like getting close to any girl besides Sally. But that was wrong.

He was here with her right now telling her she was his friend. He indeed didn't hate her.

It was then that she knew that this was the hedgehog she had a crush on, this was the guy she was falling in love with. Incapable to controlling the impulse, in sudden swing, her lips pressed hotly onto Sonic's.

He hadn't expected it and his eyes snapped wide open as Amy's lips molded with his. She kissed him aggressively pressing him back a bit but his hands planted on the floor keeping him up. The taste of alcohol disgusted him and the smell that brushed across his face when she breathed from her nose was revolting that he forcefully pushed her back and off him. Amy fell on the floor next to him and sniveled.

Sonic wiped his mouth with his arm and crawled backwards away from her. "What the—!"

"My head," Amy moaned, trying to get up but weakened, by the drugs she had, her eyes slowly fluttered close. "Sonic?!" She managed to whimper, the last drops of tears sliding out her eyes and down her cheeks.

Then her body went still and Sonic panicked, but a moment too soon. She gave out a few groans and her eyes slowly opened half-way looking up at the sky. Sonic hissed something under his breath and got off the ground glaring down at Amy. He crouched down, his arms reaching out to grab her, but he noticed his hands shook. He clenched both hands into fist and he clicked his tongue.

Out of the corner of his eye something white came to view. A snowflake fell and landed slowly on Amy's hot cheek and melted at the touch. "Cold," she whispered.

His head faced up towards the sky watching the snow fall from the dark skies.

Aww and all Amy wanted to do was dance... HAHA

I think my best chapter yet. Drunk Amy was funny and her speech was completely inspired by my own friend's personal experience. Like saying he had no feet when he was on the floor 'W' position. It was really funny I decided to put it here.

Okay you guys. She was drugged but I don't mean like the kind of drug we all know, but it was more to get her to forget her memory, so don't worry ^.^' But it did cause her to become moody and emotional and the beer she had was the big blow.

Boy but that kiss! That drunk kiss!

Will she be able remember everything that happened or will she forget?

Let's wait until April everyone!

Well, I'll leave it as that ;D

Until weeks pass! R&R

Mwahaha
