Once Robbie calmed down a bit from his excitement, he and Silver was now in the room next to theirs, bathroom. Silver didn't actually have a problem with it, but strangely, Robbie didn't seem to enjoy it all that well.
"This is so gross, it's like the last time they cleaned was two years ago" Silver couldn't help but giggle a little at his friends strange behavior."Robbie, it's not that bad" Silver said trying to cheer up his canine friend, Robbie just huffed before dusting off the counter.
"Why is there hair in the sink!?!" Silver looked up and into the sink and there, like Robbie had said was navy blue hair in the sink. Silver scrunched up his nose a little in disgust.
"Just clean it up…" Silver said before going back to the tub that he had started cleaning while almost tripping over the yellow bucket full of water.
In the other room, Sonic and Chris were cleaning around, dusting, and changing pillow covers and sheets from the bed.
"Ah, this is way too much work, I'm about to die." Chris complained before plopping down into a chair.
"Will you stop complaining, just keep cleaning and we'll be done in no time," Chris sighed again before lazily standing up almost losing his balance and falling back in the process, "Besides, we're paying for our stay here." Chris huffed before roughly jerking off the sheet from the bed on the left side and shaking it around like a mad man causing dust particles to waver around in the air.
"Chris, I just dusted!" Sonic yelled angrily "Now I'm going to have to go over everything with the duster again meaning it will take a lot longer to get out of here."
"Well I'm sorry, I'm just so tired of this, I hate cleaning, I hate it so much."
"Stop your complaining and start cleaning, and try not to make an even bigger mess." Sonic said through gritted teeth, obviously getting angry. Chris sighed a little.
"I'm sorry okay, I'm tired and I kind of want to go back to the house again, being taken care of and not having to worry about anything." Chris said sadly, Sonic had a small look of shock onhis face as he stared strongly at Chris.
"You're so lazy," Sonic said with a slight chuckle in his voice "but you know, some people would give anything to be out of that house."
"Yeah, people who don't realize what I great place it is." Sonic shook his head.
"No, I mean, after being there for a while don't you agree that doing stuff over and over again can get kind of boring?" Chris looked down; he was now sitting and was in deep thought.
"Well I guess, but I don't care, even though some of the masters could be kind of cruel, I sort of felt safe there, well I mean, safer than I feel out here, in the street." Sonic looked down "And remember, how when the masters heard us when we were climbing down, they all got up and went around searching for any danger, probably to protect us." Chris said quietly, though a amused yet unbelieving looked appeared on Sonics' face.
'Didn't they just realize that we were trying to escape?' Sonic thought to himself. Chris sighed.
"I guess I just miss being taken care of, having a lot of people around me, having a lot more friend than Silver and that jerk dog." Sonic sighed then as he took in what Chris was saying, it appeared to him that Chris was missing attention in his life, he was the center of attention and just wanted people to pay attention to him.
Sonic looked up to see depression written all over Chris' face, he was looking down his hands cupped together, Sonic actually felt bad for him right then, that was before Chris gave out a loud sneeze then got right back up and back to work. He saw Chris look over at him and smile a little, I wasn't depressed if that was what you were thinking, I just have a habit of doing that every time I'm about to give off a loud sneeze.
Chris snickered a little before shaking the blanket once again. Sonic frowned a little, you couldn't really read Chris, you couldn't tell if Chris was crying from happiness (which he probably would never do) or from sadness (which still, well you don't know if he actually did cry) but then Sonic started thinking more, what if Chris did cry, just like not in front of anyone.
What if beyond that loudness and activeness, Chris was actually really sad inside and just hid it from everyone? Sonic sighed once again causing a growl from Chris.
"What's with you, Sonic? You're doing a lot of sighing over there, or maybe it's just that you also don't want to do any of this horrible work." Sonic looked up to see a smirk on Chris' face, laughter in his eyes. It really pissed Sonic off; you just couldn't read Chris at all.
"Yes, finally, the bathrooms finished," Robby said while sitting down on the toilet seat, he looked over at Silver who was surprisingly reading the diary, "Hey, Silver, what are you doing?" Robbie said.
"I'm just seeing if there is any kind of way Eve cleaned the bathroom." Silver said Robbie smiled at him.
"You're always thinking about others, aren't you Silver?" Robbie said making Silver look up at him.
"Hmm?"
"You'll do anything to help others," Silver stared at Robbie some more, "If someone wants something a certain way, you'll go all out just to make sure everything is just what the person wants. That's one thing I admire about you Silver." Robbie said, Silver blushed a little.
"Stop Robbie," Silver yelled while laughing a little and looking away "You're making me embarrassed."
"Well it's not like anyone else is here," Robbie said, Silver looked down at the diary a little longer, but didn't exactly notice it; he was just… staring at it. "Well we better get to another bathroom and not waste any time," Robbie said getting up "I wonder what time it is anyway."
Silver got up and followed Robbie out the door into a room that has probably already been cleaned by Sonic and Chris by the looks of it. As they were walking out of the room into the hallway, another picture of Eve was on the wall.
"Hey, Robbie," Silver said quietly while smiling a little, Robbie looked over at his friend "Wouldn't it be scary if Eve came back as a ghost and started haunting us for re making the motel?" At that all of Robbie's fur stuck up and he hopped back a little.
"Where did that come from!?!" Robbie yelled causing Silver to let out a soft laugh.
"I'm sorry Robbie, I just couldn't keep that thought inside of me," Robbie sighed before walking beside Silver again "besides, you were the one who said that if anything was on my mind, I could tell you." Robbie looked up then thinking back at that time.
--- Two years ago (After the meeting with the lynx and Duck Master)
Silver came out of the building to see Robbie waiting for him, his foot tapping impatiently on the ground and his arms crossed.
"There you are what happened?" Robbie said completely worried about his friend.
"Oh, it was nothing." Silver said while smiling, but he couldn't help but notice Robbie tense up again, then all of a sudden his eyes changed, and he looked… angry, he looked down, a shadow moving over his eyes to make him look a little scary.
"Why won't you tell me?" Robbie said, Silver's right ear twitched a little, and he blinked.
"Robbie," Robbie looked up then, the anger gone now and was replaced with a look of hurt, "It just wasn't anything big that's all." Robbie stared hard at Silver.
"But I still want to know, there must be some reason that guy wanted you." Shock ran through Silver's body, it was extremely rare for Robbie to not be respectful and call the masters… well 'masters', but instead calling them 'that guy' or something else disrespectful, he must be serious.
Silver sighed and looked down, he smiled a little.
"You can tell me, you can tell me anything, we're friends right?" Robbie said still staring hard at Silver.
"Yeah," Silver said "Okay I'll tell you, well I found out something," Robbie still stared at Silver, his full attention on him, "I found out that once we turn fourteen, we get sold to couples who want children." Robbie's mouth fell open.
"What, wait, did that duck tell you this? Are you going to get sold!?!" Silver smiled towards his friend.
"No, that's not it… well actually," He saw Robbie's ears perk up a little "There was this lynx that came over and called me his 'son' and then he asked if he could have me, but the Master said 'no' that only the fourteen year olds get sound to couples, so the lynx left because he didn't want to have anyone else." Robbie looked down, he saw how the tense he had before had just washed away but then his eyes opened again.
"Silver," Robbie said quietly "did you want to be sold to a family?" Silver stared at him and a small frown came across his face.
"To be honest," He saw Robbie quickly look over at him "I kind of did, just to see how it feels, but I mean, you feel the same way, right Robbie? You want to know what it feels like to have a family too." Robbie looked down and smiled a little.
"Yeah, I guess you're right, but I still like it here, well with you anyway." They both smiled at each other then. Isn't it nice to have someone to talk to? To have someone that you can tell anything that's on your mind. It really is nice. But, sometimes you can't help but not tell someone, either you don't think you can trust them, or you believe that they just won't understand. That's mostly what Chris believes.
Wow, I'm so, so, so, so, so, so sorry that I haven't updated in like 1,000 years (over exaggerating) but I've been really busy (yeah right, with Prince of Tennis and the Sims 2) with school and all, but I'm going to try to update a lot quicker now. Oyasumi! (Goodnight.)
