Chapter 5: Might as well

I've been standing around for about a minute thinking of what I should to. Should I just stand here and be bored, go to another store, or help Sally and Amy with their shopping. Wait why am I even thinking about this, of course I should go to another store duh.

I quickly ran to any store and found myself in a music store. I do need some new CDs (Yes I use CDs).I spent 10 minute brosing around looking for something new but any band I liked I already had all there albums' suddenly felt a very light tap on my shoulder it was Amy, she was carrying only one bag of clothes and I saw it was a dress of some sort. I guess they were telling the truth they wouldn't take an hour. I noticed Sally wasn't with her.

"Where's Sally?" I asked

"She was taking too long so I went to find you" Amy said

"Oh… how long do you think she'll be?" I asked

"I don't know anywhere between a minute and the rest of the day" Amy said giggling

"Some things never change" I said with a chuckle

"What do you mean?" Amy asked tilting her head

"Sally always shopped like this I hated, its one thing I don't like about her" I said

"Well most time when we shop she doesn't take this long" Amy said. I opened my mouth to say something when I felt my Phone buzz. I saw it was a text from my mom.

Glad that you're doing well sorry for not calling earlier love you.

Mom you know who I met up with Sally Acorn it so awesome.

"Who was it?" Amy asked

"My mom" I said walking out of the store with Amy fowling me.

"What was it about?" Amy asked

"Nothing important" I said. I saw Sally walking looking around for us she was carrying 2 full bags of clothes. "Sally over there lets go" I said pointing Sally out so Amy could find her.

"So Sonic what do you want to do next?" Amy asked

"As long as its not clothes shopping I'll be fine" I said. I then waved to Sally she saw us and started to walk over to us. She stopped to take out her phone and looked so disappointed.

"Sally what wrong?" I asked

"My dad wants me home in 20 minutes so I have to go" Sally said

"Ok I guess this day is done" I shrugged. Sally looked over at me with anger and disappointment.

"Amy will you excuse us I NEED to talk to Sonic" Sally said holding back her rage. Amy waved goodbye and went to the nearest store. I turned back to Sally to see her grinning she's scaring the shit out of me.

"What?" I asked a little afraid

"Can you just go to lunch with Amy" Sally said calmly

"Wait what?" She does not sound as angry as I expected

"You NEED to spend some time with Amy" Sally said

'Why?" I asked very confused

"Cause you NEED a new friend" Sally said. Is she going to keep emphasizing 'need'

"No I don't" I said

"Ya you do" Sally smirked

"No I don't" I said

"Fine if you won't go to lunch with her, then I guess I could show her you at the 3rd grade talent show" Sally evilly smirked. I thought back to what she was talling about… oh god I can't let anyone see that again.

"I thought you deleted that video" I said

"I deleted one copy" Sally said

"Fine I'll go" I said reluctantly, just like old times she black mailing me. I know she would never show anyone that but I shouldn't piss her of anymore.

"Great and I'll ask Amy on what happened to make sure you aren't lying to me" Sally said walking away. Dammit that's how I was going to get out of this just lie.

I went to find she was sitting on a bench.

"Hey Sonic" She said cheery as always

"Hey Amy, want to go out for lunch?" I asked awkwardly. Amy seemed surprised that I asked her out since she nearly fell over.

"A-alright what did you have in mind?" She asked

"I don't know where any good places are you pick" I said. Amy thought for a moment before grabbing my arm and dragging me out of the mall. She kept dragging for about 20 minutes until we stopped in front of a diner. Some place called 'The Emerald Diner' it looked very much like an old 50's diner, with its checkerboard floors, and red leather seats.

We found a table next to a window. I looked outside I saw a bus stop great a faster way to get home, from the hour walk to the mall and the 20 minute walk here I really just wanted to get home faster. I looked back to Amy I could tell she was nervous, she kept scratching her hand. Neither of us said anything for quite a while not until the waitress asked for are drinks.

"What would you like to drink?" The blonde cat asked us.

"We'll both have vanilla milkshakes" Amy said cheerfully. The waitress walked away. I looked over at Amy confused. Why did she order for me?

"Sonic this place has the best milkshakes I'm doing you a favor" Amy said

"Ok thanks I guess" I didn't know what to think. Again we sat in quietly, but I have to talk to her or Sally will bitch at me about not saying anything.

"So how's school?" I asked. She looked surprised I even asked something.

"Schools alright" She said uneasy

"What no dickheads" I said. Amy looked shocked that I said 'dickhead'.

"There's a few" She said

"What they like?" I asked I was starting to get a bit interested.

"Well there this guy Scourge he always acting like I'm his girlfriend he's a total stalker" She said disgusted

"Why don't you just punch him in the face" I said jokingly

"I could never to that" Amy said innocently making us have a quick chuckle. I didn't even notice are drink were here. The waitress asked if there was anything else we wanted, and Amy told her no.

"Were not getting any food?" I asked confused

"No trust me these are so good and filling you don't need food" Amy said taking a sip of her drink. She looked like she was enjoying it a lot. "Plus the food here isn't that good" She whispered.

I looked my milkshake, I took a quick sip witch quickly turned into a gulp, and my god was it good. Amy really wasn't kidding when this was the best milkshake ever.

"Good isn't it?" Amy asked. I was about say something when I heard a loud crack of thunder causing Amy jumped out her seat. I looked outside and saw it pouring.

"Don't worry we'll take the bus" I said

"I don't know if we'll have enough money for the bus" Amy said

"While be fine" I said slurping the rest of my milkshake. Oh god why did I do that my head hurts like hell.

"Are you alright?" Amy asked concerned

"Ya I'm fine don't worry" I said

"Ok" Amy said finishing her drink. We paid for are drinks, and I a dollar 50 left why didn't I bring more money? Amy only had a dollar 10.

"Well one of us can go" I said

"Ok you can go" Amy said. What there is no way I'm let her walk home in the rain.

"No I'll be fine you go" I said

"I know my around the city you'll get lost" Amy said

"No I won't I remember the way" I assured her.

"Fine I'll take the bus" She said reluctantly

"Good" I said giving her my money

(Amy's P.O.V.)

I waited by the bus with Sonic neither of saying a word. I saw the bus coming down street.

"You sure you'll be fine?" I asked

"Trust me I'll be alright" he reassured me with a cocky smile.

The bus stopped next to me as I waited for the people in front of me to get on. "Bye Sonic see you at the house" I said

"See ya" he said walking away. He got drenched in the rain almost immediately he looked so cold but his quills looked adorable being wet and forced down by the rain. I got onto the bus. I watched Sonic from the window I got a quick glimpse of his face still with a smile.

The bus ride was quiet until some guy who I swear was drunk was walking off the bus and he fell onto the floor. It was pretty funny but I didn't laugh he looked hurt he quickly got up and left without a word. When the bus got my stop I was only about half a block from home the rain wasn't as bad as before but it was still coming down.

I kept my head down I walked up the steps of my and got out my key but he heard a familiar voice.

"What took you so long?" I heard was that Sonic?
