New chapter!
Thanks for all the compliments! I really like them!
I don't own anything. I hope you know that by now.
Okay, so read, review, and enjoy!
Amy, Silver, and Sonic wandered through a cheerful meadow and took a moment to ignore their troublesome situation to admire the beauty around them. Soon stopping underneath the shade of a large oak tree, the trio of hedgehogs looked at each other and Silver commented, "This place is amazing. It's so beautiful and everything."
Amy nodded in agreement and Sonic held his stomach as he heard a loud rumbling noise. "The place may be pretty to look at, but man, I am seriously hungry." The cobalt blue hedgehog responded and his stomach growled louder, thinking that it was being ignored.
Feeling her own stomach growl from a lack of food, Amy held her stomach and added, "Me too."
The two hedgehogs heard a rumbling noise and saw Silver as he held his stomach and continued, "Make that three of us."
The three stomachs grumbled louder to point out the problem of hunger was not solved and the three hedgehogs groaned from the annoyance of the noise. "What now?" questioned Amy.
"Let me take a look around. Maybe I can find something to eat." Sonic told the other two hedgehogs and quickly dashed away in a blue blur. A few minutes later, he returned to the other two and shook his head. "Okay, so I did a short run of the place and there's no food anywhere. This place is nice and all, but seriously. How come there's no food in this place?"
The trio once again looked at their surroundings and saw a large river not too far away from them before looking back at each other and Amy suggested, "Maybe if we go across the river…we'll find some food."
"Are you serious? I'd rather starve to death than have to go into a river to cross it to get food that might not even be there!" Sonic exclaimed, clearly shocked that the pink hedgehog would even suggest such a thing.
"Maybe there's a bridge somewhere we could use. Then, we wouldn't have to go for a swim." Added Silver and the three hedgehogs began to follow the current of the river in hopes of finding the bridge.
Still continuing their journey along the riverside in hopes of finding a bridge, the three hedgehogs moaned from the hunger that was really starting to annoy them. Each grumble there was, the louder it got and their hunger got worse. Seeing Shadow standing near a wooden bridge with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face as he surveyed the meadow, the three hedgehogs jogged over to him and before they could say anything, Shadow snapped the instant he saw them, "Leave me alone and get it in your heads! I'm not getting involved in any of these foolish fairy tales!"
Looking at Sonic, Shadow clenched his teeth as he let out a phrase of obscene words and flipped his middle finger at his arch-rival before skating away into the distance. Coming out of slight shock from the Ultimate Life Form's actions towards him, Sonic yelled, "Hey! What'd I do?" He looked at the other two hedgehogs. "Seriously. What's his problem?"
"Well, you kinda did get us back in this mess, so-" Silver started.
"Okay, okay. I get it," Sonic cut off as he crossed his arms, "Shadow's got a slight bone to pick with me about this thing."
Rolling his eyes at how easily the azure hedgehog waved off the ebony hedgehog's hostile attitude as if it was a simple disagreement between best friends, Silver looked between the bridge and the other two hedgehogs and remarked, "Well, I guess we can take this bridge."
"Okay, who goes first?" questioned Amy and the three hedgehogs looked at each other, all of them clearly not wanting to go across first.
"Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock?" suggested Silver and the other two shook their heads, knowing that they would be standing here forever if they chose that method. "Okay, it was just a suggestion."
Sonic picked up three blades of grass ripped one of the pieces in half, and held them so the ends were covered as he quickly mixed them in his hand. "Short grass goes first." Sonic stated as Amy and Silver took a blade of grass each and all of the hedgehogs held up their piece. Looking at all three, Sonic saw Silver had the shortest piece. "Okay Silver. You're first."
"Okay, so who goes after me?" huffed Silver, clearly displeased with the decision.
"Draw grass again." Sonic shrugged as he took the short piece of grass from Silver and repeated the same procedure with Amy. Opening their hands to see who drew the piece, Sonic saw Amy had the short piece before they tossed the grass to the ground.. "Then Amy, then me."
Muttering something about how the decision was rigged because he had been with SEGA the shortest amount of time of the three, Silver began to tramp to the bridge.
Just as he made it halfway across the bridge, Silver heard a slight noise from underneath him and stopped as he heard someone growl, "Who's that crossing my bridge?"
Jumping back a step as someone crawled out from under the bridge and Silver exclaimed once he realized who the figure was, "Eggman!" He was ready to use his psychokinesis on the evil genius, but his stomach grumbled and he clenched his teeth from the realization he was slightly exhausted from the hunger and, as a result, prevented him from using his psychokinesis to his full power and would make the situation worse for him. "What are you doing here?"
"This is MY bridge! Hedgehog's aren't allowed on my bridge and I want your popularity!"
"Why popularity?"
"Because lately I have been more of comic relief than my usual villain self. If I get the popularity, I can demand to return to my villainous roots. Now give me your popularity!"
"Uh, you really don't want me. There's a hedgehog better known and more popular than me that's still coming." Silver told him and Eggman stroked his mustache as he quickly thought of what Silver said.
"Okay. You can pass." Decided Eggman and the genius crawled back under the bridge.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Silver quickly raced to the other side of the bridge before Eggman changed his mind.
Amy let out a deep breath before she began to tip toe across the bridge. She and Sonic saw Silver stop and talking to someone, although they could not understand what the conversation was about, but she did not want to have an encounter with whoever it was and learn what the person was talking about with Silver. "Maybe if I go really quietly…they won't notice me." Amy thought to herself as she continued to tip toe her way to the other side of the bridge, but was halfway when she stopped as she heard something shift under the bridge.
"Who's that crossing my bridge?" she heard someone snarl and Amy took a couple of steps back as Eggman crept out from under the bridge.
Amy reached to take out her famed Piko Piko Hammer, but stopped when she felt slight distraction from her hunger and she would have a lack of aim to send Eggman flying into the distance with a powerful swing. "What do you want?" cried Amy.
"Your popularity!"
"What?"
"I already explained it to the other funny-looking hedgehog and I'm not going to explain it again! Give me your popularity!"
"Oh, you don't want little old me. There's a hedgehog better known and more popular than me that's still coming across the bridge." Replied Amy.
"More popular you say?" Eggman responded and he stroked his large mustache while he thought about what the pink hedgehog told him. "Okay, you can go."
Waiting until Eggman had slunk back under the bridge, Amy let out a sigh of relief before racing to the other side to join Silver before she was in the same situation again.
Sonic whistled happily as he casually strolled across the bridge, trying to ignore the fact he was near water. Amy and Silver made it over and both of them had stopped and talked to some stranger, but he did not hear the conversations. "I wonder who those two were yakking too." Sonic wondered to himself. He stopped halfway as he heard something moving under the bridge. "Hmm. I wonder what that was."
"Who's that crossing my bridge?" he heard someone roar and Sonic crossed his arms as his arch-nemesis skulked out from under the bridge.
"Oh, heya Egghead. Long time no see," greeted Sonic, clearly deciding to hide his fear of the water with some relaxed conversation, "whatcha doing under that bridge? Crying to yourself about how I keep foiling your evil plots?"
"I want what I asked from the other two hedgehogs that went over my bridge."
"What was that?"
"Popularity."
"Popularity? I'm the most popular character in the Sonic Series. I'm a mascot even! You can't get much more popular than that! You should see my fan base. To sum it up…I define popularity."
"It'll be MY fan base now!"
"How so?"
"I want your popularity!" demanded Eggman and Sonic gave a small smirk.
"Okay," Sonic responded and he quickly stretched his arms and legs, "you wanna get my popularity…come and get me."
Eggman stepped towards the blue hedgehog as Sonic charged up for one of his spin attacks before colliding with Eggman and Eggman flew off the bridge. Standing up and looking over the edge of the bridge, Sonic smirked as his arch-enemy hit the water and began to get carried down the fast flowing river. "Heh. Now anyone can get across the bridge without you trying to steal their popularity…especially mine!" Sonic called.
Crossing the bridge, Sonic bent down to wipe some water that splashed onto his shoe before looking at Amy and Silver and he smirked. "Why are you smirking?" questioned Silver.
"Cause that was a pretty snazzy performance and I scored a ton of points from that for awesomeness." Responded Sonic and Silver rolled his eyes.
Hearing a dinging noise, the three hedgehogs saw a set of elevator doors open and dashed through them before they closed.
Amy, Silver, and Sonic skidded to a stop inside the elevator as the doors closed and there was a slight jerk as it began to move. The three hedgehogs saw the rest of their group standing around waiting for them and looked at each other. Seeing the silver hedgehog was being slightly cold towards him, Sonic commented, "Oh, c'mon. You can't still be mad about having to go across the bridge first."
"Oh, I will be…because it was rigged!" huffed Silver as he crossed his arms and faced the cobalt hedgehog, obviously still upset about the decision that was made in the fairy tale. "I had to go first because I've been with SEGA a shorter amount of time than you and Amy!"
"No, it wasn't. You drew the short blade of grass." Sonic pointed out and Silver scoffed.
"Whatever. It was rigged and you know it." The psychic hedgehog grumbled and Sonic rolled his eyes as he shook his head in disapproval.
"I hope Shadow's okay." Remarked Amy and Sonic looked at the pink hedgehog and crossed his arms.
"I'm sure Shadster's fine. He had no problem flipping the Finger at me. If he can still do that…he's just fine," Sonic responded, clearly annoyed with the black hedgehog's actions toward him, "and he's a big hedgehog. He can take care of himself."
Hearing a ding and feeling a slight jerk as the elevator halted to a stop, the doors slid open and Amy, Blaze, Knuckles, Rouge, Silver, Sonic, and Tails tramped into the next fairy tale.
My comment:
Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock: I had to throw it in there. I couldn't help it.
I don't really have anything else to say except for I hope you liked the chapter and please review!
