Hey all! Before you read I just want to address a comment I saw from a guest on my story regarding why is Mina a bitch and how I should've used Fiona. Everyone is pretty much out of character in this story, its fits my story line better. I understand what you are saying though. And honestly if they were in character I wouldn't put Sonic and Fiona together, they don't match lol. But anyways enjoy my readers! Don't forget to follow, favorite, and review!
Chapter Five: The Party's Over
"Oh honey please don't be upset."
"How can I not be upset Arella?! He's changed, everyone has!"
That same day, Amanda went home afterschool and to her room. It took Arella 45 mintutes to just now talk to her, and they are still talking to each other through her bedroom door.
"Arella please, I don't want to talk right now. Maybe I'll find someone else…"
"Do not lose hope Amelia, you're overreacting."
There was a long pause before Amanda slowly opened the door and glared at Arella. "Don't you DARE say I'm overreacting! Hell, it's your fault I'm stuck in this shit anyways!"
Arella then furrowed her eyebrows at her. "Pardon me?!I was trying to help you! Not harm you!"
"I think you've done enough damage already. You lied to me! You said he still cared!" Amanda then slammed the door in her face, not wanting to hear another word from the angel. Arella then heavily sighed and turned her back towards the door. Suddenly, the front door bell rang. Arella gave a perplexed face, wondering who it could be considering she wasn't expecting any company. She walked downstairs to the door and opened it, only to see a familiar face. It was Cream, Arella recognized her from Amanda's past life as being her bestfriend.
"Hello." The small rabbit said shyly.
"Hello there, may I help you?" Arella greeted her politely.
Cream started twiddling with her fingers. "I'm Cream, I'm a friend of Amanda's and was wondering if she was here?"
"Uh, why yes. I'll go get her." Arella walked back up the stairs back to Amanda's bedroom door. "Amanda, you have a visitor."
The magenta hedgehog the peeked outside her door. "Who?"
"Cream." was all Arella said before walking to her own bedroom and shutting the door. Amanda then walked towards the door hesitantly as she met big orange eyes looking at her. "Uh, hi?"
"I know what you're thinking," Cream said as she put her arms out in front of her. "How did I know where you live and why am I here right?" Amanda nodded slowly looking curiously at the petite bunny rabbit.
"Uh yes, kinda."
"Don't call me a creep but I kinda…sorta…followed you here. I just needed to talk to you and make sure you were okay! Please don't think I'm weird!" Cream said extremely fast, making her lose her breath. Amanda stared at her dumbfounded for a few seconds, before bursting out in hysterical laughter. Cream looked at her confused.
"W-What is it?"
Amanda continued to laugh while Cream still stared at her. After a few more seconds, she caught her breath and wiped her eyes from the tears of laughter. "It's okay Cream, really it is. I'm just appreciative you did that just to check on me. Thank you." She smiled at her old friend. Cream gave a sigh of relief.
"Oh Thank Chaos." The two girls laughed together. Amanda missed these old times.
"But really though, are you alright? You ran off earlier without fair warning."
"I am fine Cream."
"You just have to get used to our group that's all, everyone will warm up to you. You just have to get to know them.
I already know them..
"Uh yeah, you're right."
"I also came to ask if you wanted to come with me to Sally's party with me? She always throws the best parties, and it's a chance to get to know everyone!"
Amanda pondered for a second, she wasn't sure about going to this party, she didn't want to see him.
"I-I don't know Cream, I'll let you know."
Cream nodded in understanding. "Okay, well what's your number?" After exchanging numbers, Cream looked up at Amanda. "Just text me to let me know, I'll pick you up if you decide to come."
"Okay, I will." Amanda said smiling a little. Cream smiled back. "Great! See you later Amanda!"
Cream the walked to her car as Amanda closed the door. She then turned to see Arella standing behind her on the staircase.
"I think you should go."
Amanda shrugged her shoulders and started to walk towards her room. "Maybe…"
Meanwhile, as Cream entered the passenger side of the car, she turned to see her two-tailed boyfriend staring at her. "What?"
"You sure are nice to that Amanda girl." Tails said to her.
"I'm nice to everyone Tails." Cream shot back smiling.
"True, but this one is different. Is it because she…." He stopped mid sentence, he still couldn't bring himself to mention her name. There was a long pause, then Cream spoke. "Yeah," she said as tears came to her eyes and trickled down her face. "That's exactly why."
It was now Friday, Amanda had decided to go to ahead and attend Sally's party. Cream told her to be ready by 6:45, but it was now 6:15 and she still didn't know what to wear. The magenta hedgehog searched and searched through her closet, but couldn't find any party material.
"Ugh! I knew I shouldv'e went shopping." She then heard a soft knock on the door. "Come in."
Arella slowly walked in with a hopeful look on her face while holding a shopping bag. Amanda rose a brow. Before she could say anything, Arella spoke.
"I wanted to apologize for yesterday, I should've told you it was going to be harder than you thought. The least I could do was buy you something to wear for your event tonight."
Amanda sighed and glanced at her Arella and shook her head. "No Arella, I'M sorry. I shouldn't have lashed out at her like that. I was just-"
"Worried? Stressed?"
"Yeah….I know you're just trying to help me, and I thank you for that."
Arella smiled softly. "I forgive you, my child." She then embraced her tightly.
"Don't worry about the dress, I just won't go."
"Are you joking me?! You are wearing this dress missy! Along with the accessories!"
Amanda giggled at her. "Alright, let's do this."
Even with only 20 minutes to spare, Arella had Amanda looking stunning. The dress she brought was a silver glittery halter mini dress. Amanda put on silver stappy heels and her magenta hair in a high ponytail with strands of hair framing her face. She applied winged eyeliner, mascara, and clear lipgloss as her makeup. She finally topped it off with diamond earrings, a sparkly silver watch, and a glitter clutch. She gazed at herself in the mirror in awe. "Arella….you are a miracle worker!"
"Eh, I try." The angel said triumphantly. Amanda then heard a car horn outside "That must be Cream, Thanks Arella!" Amanda then raced out the door and to Cream's convertible. When she got in the car, Cream smiled at her "You look amazing Amanda!"
"You too Cream!" Cream wore a red skater dress with red bottoms and gold accessories. "Thanks, now let's hurry to this party, I heard the traffic is crazy out there."
The girls arrived to a white mansion. Of course Amanda has been to plenty of Sally's parties as Amy. But this was her first time as Amanda. She could only hope to make a good impression with everyone.
When the girls entered the mansion, it was already at least 50 people surrounding the living room areas and backyard/pool area. They turned to see Sally herself walking towards them.
"Hey guys!"
"Hey Sal, wow there's already so many people here." Cream commented.
"I know, hopefully not too many more show up, I don't think I have enough food!" All three girls laughed and Sally diverted her attention towards Amanda. "Well, make yourself at home! Try to make yourself feel as comfortable as possible."
"I'll be fine, thanks." Amanda smiled.
2 hours passed since Amanda came and she couldn't have felt any better. She conversed with each individual in the group , trying to warm up to them and it worked out very well. Unfortunately for her, she didn't see her sister.
Or Sonic for that matter.
She sighed. Amanda wanted to see him, but after the seeing what he did with that mongoose girl, part of her didn't want to. She wanted to forget him because of how hurt she was. The pink girl shook her thoughts and continued to drink her soda sitting alone for now. Suddenly, Amanda felt a tap on her shoulder.
"You okay there?"
She turned to see a handsome green hawk standing before her. She lightly blushed, she's never seen him around Station Square before. "Yeah, I am."
The hawk chuckled and took a seat right next to her. "You seem to be in deep thought there. I'm Jet by the way." He introduced himself.
"My name is Amy-I mean Amanda." She said with a nervous chuckle.
"Amanda huh? Actually I think it'll just be easier if I called you Amy." He grinned. "If you're okay with that?"
Amanda wasn't sure about him calling her that, but she surprisingly went along with it. "Uh, sure, Amy it is."
"So Amy, you new here? I haven't seen such a beautiful face around here like yours." Jet winked.
Amanda giggled. "I should be asking you the same thing."
"Do you go to school?"
"Yeah, Station Square High."
"Really? Haven't seen you around, maybe we could chill sometime." He smiled.
Amanda smiled back at him. "I'd like that."
Another hour passed at Sally's party and it was close to its ending. Amanda and Jet didn't leave each other's side, they talked about any and everything the whole hour, and Amanda liked it. It was nice to have somebody other than Arella to call her by her past name and she could actually be herself around. Amanda looked at her phone and checked the time, seeing that it was a little after midnight.
"Oh. I gotta get home." She said standing up grabbing her clutch.
"I could take you home if you want." Jet told her standing up with her.
"Its fine, Im riding with a friend."
"Well let me at least walk you outside." He offered. Amanda looked at him and nodded with a small smile. The two walked outside by Cream's car, waiting for her to come out.
"I had fun with you tonight Amy."
"You too Jet." The two just stood there awkwardly for a few seconds silently, Jet coughed. "I guess-"
"Well well well, if it isn't Jet The Hawk, or Jet the Bitch."
Amanda and Jet looked sideways to see the blue blur himself, Sonic, standing before them with his hands in his black jacket pockets. Amanda lost her breath but quickly regained her train of thought to see why was he here, and why now. He was still looking handsome as ever, she thought.
"Go fuck yourself Sonic."
"I would if I could. I mean look at me." He said cockily. "Now, I suggest you step away from the lady and no one gets hurt."
Amanda cocked an eyebrow at this. "Excuse me?"
"You're excused. Now run along Jet, I don't want this to be an issue, but it will if it has to be."
Jet shook his head. "Why should I? Do you even know him?" He turned his head towards Amanda as she sweat dropped.
"I, uh…"
"Yeah she knows me, we're great pals right." He swung his arm over Amanda. She wanted to shrug him off, but something told her not to, and she went along with it.
"Uh, yeah um, great pals." She fake smiled. Jet looked at both of them suspicious, but didn't question anything. "Alright, well I'll see you later Amy." He smiled at her and walked off.
Amanda then harshly shrugged Sonic's arm off her shoulder and looked up at him. "What the hell was that?!"
"Me doing you a favor. He's bad news. You being a new girl around here, you're bait." He said with a monotone.
"You? Doing me a favor? I thought I was a freak?"
"That was actually Mina calling you that. And you just running off from what you saw was weird."
Amanda furrowed her brows. "Maybe you two should suck tongues somewhere else!"
Sonic looked dangerously at her, piercing his green eyes staring hard. "Don't try me girl. I did you a favor. Do not hang around him."
Amanda was nervous, but she scoffed. "And why not?"
"Like I said, he's not the guy you think he is."
"Yes, because I'd believe you out of all people."
Sonic rolled his eyes and glanced at her. "So your name is Amy?" completely ignoring her statement.
Amanda's heart dropped and she avoided his eye contact. "Um, no. Its Amanda."
"You don't sound too sure." He said questionably. Just after he said that, Cream ran to the two.
"Sorry I was helping Sal kick people out, you ready?" she asked Amanda. She nodded at Cream. "Oh hey Sonic, when did you get here?"
"Oh, just got here," He shrugged. "I'll catch ya later." He leaned in Amanda's ear and whispered.
"You too, I'm not done with you yet."
