It was a sight for sore eyes, seeing his dorm once again.
Sonic had to remain in some intense recovery for several days after his operation. He remembered how painful it was for his limbs and his skin on his muzzle to regrow and form again, especially at night. He remembered that he would lie in his hospital bed, sweat pouring from his brow and his teeth gritted in a firm line as his chest heaved, he alone trying his hardest not to wail in pain. He would look out into the window and try to get his mind off of the agonizing pain by watching the many stars blink at him in the sky, and the moon casting a gentle, warming glow on his face.
Now the doctors were allowing Sonic to return to his dorm at school, but he still must remain in bed for several more days, making repeat trips back to the doctor for a change of gauze. In his time in recovery, Sonic had received multiple get well presents.
He had gotten a large heart-shaped card that Tails, Cream, Anita, and Silver came together to make. He got a box of chocolates from Rainjha and Alex, though he wasn’t surprised to see a couple of the candies missing….
Mist and Knuckles ‘tried’ to draw Sonic a picture, though it ended up as stick people. Abby, Rainbow, Daggy, and Scythe brought Sonic a large balloon, blue with red stripes on it.
Even Shadow got Sonic something, only it wasn’t what he expected. Shadow came in one day and dropped it on the table, without a word, and then left through the open doorway.
Sonic laughed so hard that the cuts on his face almost split open again when he saw Shadow’s ‘gift’. Shadow had given Sonic a small cookie that he had gotten from the hospital’s cafeteria. It tasted like cardboard, but he figured that it was the thought that counted.
Sonic was confused that Amy didn’t give him something. In fact, he hadn’t seen her in the last few days. He tried not to worry about it, but for some reason….he did.
Was it his conscious poking and prodding him about something he had forgotten? Her birthday perhaps?
--
Everyone now was back in their dorms at school, and since this school didn’t have classes on Friday, there was no school work to be done at the moment. The entire gang went bowling together, and they promised that they would take Sonic on an outing with them as soon as he recovered enough. Tails had volunteered to stay with Sonic that day, no matter how much the blue wonder protested. Tails was stuck with him for the rest of the morning.
Sonic now smiled to himself gently as he felt warm sunlight spilling onto his face from that very window that he had fallen under a few nights ago. He grimaced hard as he could still see the numerous blood stains littering the halls.
Sonic was much better from a few days ago, though still sore and in great amounts of pain. It took a lot of effort just to make it through the halls, using things against the walls as support. Sonic’s bandages that covered his head had been removed, the top of his head where his head spikes met his ears now only slightly bruised. However, Sonic still had those interlacing bandages wrapped tight in protection over the two gashes on his cheek. He also still had some bandages wrapped around his upper chest.
Also, when Sonic was in the hospital, he had gotten severely dehydrated. So, the doctors were forced to place I.V.’s in the hedgehog’s tender wrists. Now he had bandages that started almost at his elbows, and ran all the way down his arm, melting into the openings in his gloves. He was wearing his shoes now, but he was sore from lying in bed for so many hours, and he limped badly when he walked.
Sonic gratefully entered the boy’s dorm, which Tails had left slightly ajar so Sonic could enter without trouble. Sonic placed his numerous gifts on Mist and Silver’s bunk bed, knowing that they wouldn’t mind if he set them there for now. He also let his balloon float out of his grasp, flying up, up, until it gently bumped against the ceiling.
The room was deathly quiet, and totally empty. Sonic figured that Tails went to eat lunch, or something like that. Whatever the reason, he didn’t mind one bit. All he wanted to do was rest for now.
Sonic slowly lowered himself onto Knuckles’ bed, who offered his to Sonic, since Sonic’s bunk was high off of the ground. Sonic kicked off his shoes and allowed them to fall into a crumpled heap onto the floor. Then he used his toes to prod the T.V. remote by his feet, turning it on and pushing it into his hand.
Sonic lay there for a few minutes, flipping through the channels and trying to find at least something interesting to watch. Sonic frowned as the channels he flipped through were nothing but trash. He thought grimly as he finally changed it to the food channel, knowing at least THIS would be clean, You can’t watch ANYTHING these days that’s actually fitting to watch. Sonic lay there on his back as he listened to the woman on T.V. tell him how to make chocolate smoothies.
Being bored out of his wits, Sonic unknowingly fell into a sleep that was finally filled with some rest…though…..he just couldn’t get Amy off of his mind.
--
“Sonic! Sonic! Get UP you lazy hedgehog, GET UP!!!!”
Sonic mumbled something as someone flipped him over, “Snnnx….no Shad….don’t….sssnore…jump from that…bridge,…..grpp…itss dagrous……zzzz….”
Sonic woke up with a start, his eye twitching as he opened his eyes. He blinked a few times to clear his blurry vision, also shaking his head a couple of times.
Tails was over him, shaking him lightly with a huge smile spread over his furry face. His two tails were wrapped around Knuckles’ bed post as he laughed with glee, “Wake up Sonic!! There’s someone special here to see ya!!!”
Before Sonic could reply, Tails bolted around the corner of the bed, disappearing through the door and almost shutting it in his haste. Sonic sleepily rose from Knuckles’ pillow, yawing loudly until his face started hurting and he had to shut his mouth. He ran his tongue around the corners of his mouth as he wiped his face with the back of his hand, then recoiling with disgust. Sonic apparently had drooled ALL OVER his face, as well as on Knuckles’ pillow. Ew.
Oops. He would have to explain it to him later.
Tails’ voice rang out clearly to him again, “Lean up in bed Sonic, you don’t need to get up! I’ll bring him too you!”
Bring…Who?
Sonic wiped his eyes with his not spitty glove, wiping his other hand vigorously on a nearby towel. Sonic could see that it was now well past noon, his eyes having trouble getting used to the now bright light. The gang was probably out eating or something. Tails did admit to Sonic earlier that he did go off for a few hours to go do something, but again Sonic didn’t mind.
Sonic snapped his head around quickly as Tails opened the door, someone entered, and then shutting the door behind him.
To begin with, Sonic could only see a silhouette, as his vision was still adjusting to the bright light. He could see Tails give the figure a great hug, and then faint laughter hit his ear drums. Then Tails smiled, “Come closer to him…he probably can’t see us way over here.”
Sonic’s eyes suddenly grew wide and his jaws dropped open, stretching and straining the bandages on the corner of his mouth. He chuckled weakly, then the chuckles growing as loud as he could muster without throwing himself into a coughing fit.
“I.-….I can’t believe it!!’
A young wolf around Sonic’s age stood there, his tail gently flicking back and forth. A large smile was on his face, and another person stood close by him though Sonic couldn’t see him just yet, as his face was bathed in shadows.
Sonic laughed aloud now, coughing hoarsely,
“R-……
Rockfire!?”
--
Rockfire the wolf was standing right in front of Sonic, a coy smile on his face as he placed his hand on his friend’s shoulder, “Better shut your mouth Sonic. Don’t want something flying in there do we?”
Rockfire was a quite old friend of Sonic’s. Rockfire and Sonic had long had fun together, and they even kidnapped Rockfire’s best friend once…that was so much fun!.
((Chi interruption: NOT FOR ME! D8))
Rockfire was quite skinny and lanky, just as tall as Sonic, but maybe just a hair shorter. His fur was VERY dark, so dark that at first glance it looked black, but it was actually a very dark shade of grey. His trademark was the most beautiful blue spots that ran down his back to the tip of his tail, also on his wrists and ankles. The blue spots mimicked the markings of a clouded leopard, even though Rocky was a wolf.
He had large patches of blue over his eyes, then three smaller dots under his eyes. His muzzle was still VERY dark, however, it did have a tint of that same blue on it. Right above his blue nose sat a pair of eyes that were crystal blue, like two small chips of ice. Between his eyes was a large blue tuft of hair that went down the back of his head, ending a good ways above the base of his neck. Lastly, Rockfire had two golden bands that hung loosely on his wrists, much like Shadow’s. Also, Rocky had the ability to control ice, like Mist could bend water and the metal alloys contained inside of it, as well as any other types of metal.
Tightly gripped in his claws was a small plushie of a wolf, one that was pure white with black on the tips of it’s tail, ears, and paws. Rockfire placed it in the hedgehog’s lap, proceeding to sit down on the edge of Knuckles’ bed, moving his fluffy tail away from Sonic’s spit as he smiled, “I heard about what happened. I decided to visit and see how you were doing.” Sonic chuckled, “I’m a lot better now, but it still hurts. It was purely an accident, though I hope those involved won’t do this again.”
Tails suddenly grimaced a bit, raising a gloved hand and wincing, “Oh and…Sonic…Uhm…I forgot to mention that…Rockfire brought someone else</b> with him.”
Sonic craned his neck to see who that figure hidden behind Tails was, and when he saw him, he almost fell forwards out of Knuckles’ drool laden bed.
Sonic was barely able to let his words slip from his open mouth,
“S-…Spark!?”
Spark was a fox that Sonic, Shadow, Mist, Tails, Alex, and Rainjha knew from about a year ago. He, Sky, Mist, Alex, Rainjha, and a few others were clones that Eggman ‘failed’ to create from Sonic’s DNA and the Chaos Emeralds’ energy. Each of them were imbued forever with the sole power of each Chaos emerald-
Mist dark blue-Water and Metal
Rainjha dark purple-Shadows and Darkness
Alex ruby red- Fire and flame
Sky cyan blue- Wind and air
Another being Sonic couldn’t remember the name of had the green emerald- Earth and rock
Spark yellow- Electricity
And finally Sonic had…the clear emerald which imbued him with light.
Seven beings. Seven Chaos Emeralds. Only Sonic was able to master them all, and Eggman branded the others as ‘failed’ experiments, each only being able to withstand the pull of one chaos emerald, and one alone.
Spark had been a henchman of Eggman’s, and after that horrific night ((Chi Interruption: Read SSS when I put it up)) Sonic never saw him, or Sky, again.
Now here he stood, a weak smile on his face as he spoke softly, “Hi Sonic…Remember me?”
Sonic sat up in bed, wide eyed and numb with shock.
Spark had grown since he had last seen him, just as he expected he had.
Spark was a fox of a pure and rich yellow, almost golden. His muzzle was such a light yellow, that at first glance you would mistake it as white. In the face, he resembled Tails, another ‘flaw’ as Eggman might say. Between his perked ears was some swing bangs that fell slightly over his left eye, that same golden yellow, only tipped with pure midnight black. On the very corners of his eyes were small black arrows, exactly like Shadow’s. Sonic figured that Eggman didn’t get too creative with the ‘cloning’ process.
Anyways, Spark had puffy white chest fur, just like Tails as well, only he only had one tail, which was also dipped in black. The edges of that black were that same yellow that was almost mistaken as white. Spark wore gloves like most everyone else, except Rockfire, who usually wore none. However, though you couldn’t see it, Spark had long, black spike shapes on the backs of his hands, and they ran up his arm, but stopping much shorter than Shadow’s red stripes, stopping at his wrists. Spark had bright auburn eyes, and his nose was pure black.
He could be Tails’ brother, and Shadow’s long lost cousin of some sort. Sonic felt a bit bad for him, but he was shocked that he was right there after WORKING FOR FATSO!
Sonic was immediately on the defensive, “Tails! Ho-“
Tails at once corrected Sonic’s confusion, “It’s alright Sonic. I know….what ‘happened’ but you can’t judge Spark for that now. He actually helped in destroying Eggman’s lab a few months ago, after….” Tails swallowed, having trouble talking about the tough situation that was best left to be told in another story, “..after we brought you back.”
Spark gently placed a small Christmas tree on the end table beside the T.V., a gift for Sonic, “Sonic…you must understand….Sky and I were forced to work for Eggman in such a manner.” Spark closed his eyes, “It was either that…or die.”
Sonic was suddenly filled with regret for how he was treating Spark, “I’m…I’m sorry…I didn’t know.” Spark only nodded silently.
Rockfire crossed his arms and bounced on the bed a little bit, “Enough sad faces and talk! Tails’ has something to tell ya Sonic!!”
Sonic raised his eyebrows and turned to Tails, who was shuffling his feet where he stood, “Tails…what did you do?”
Tails shrugged and sat on the edge of the bed beside Rockfire, “W-Well….while you were sleeping I went to see if the….if the others were still bowling, you know?” Sonic smiled softly, as not to hurt his face again, “And?”
“A-and….well, they had already went to eat, so I met them at the restaurant….and….” Tails blushed hard, and he pushed his nose into his fur in a feeble attempt to hide his beet red face. Sonic chuckled, throwing his hands over his head, “Go on! Spit it out!”
Tails sighed heavily, finally coming out with his point, “Well….
Sonic,…” Tails grinned widely, “Cream is my girlfriend now!”
Sonic ruffled Tails’ hair as he giggled, “Good for you Tails! I always knew you two would make a great couple!” Tails smiled and blushed again, “Thanks Sonic….”
Sonic looked at his feet for a moment, “Though I’m wondering….What’s with Amy lately? She won’t talk to me, and I haven’t seen her in days! By now she would be smothering me with gifts or something.” Tails suddenly grew silent and his body went stiff, “It’s not my position to tell you that Sonic.” “What?!” “Cream told me something that I can’t tell you Sonic. Amy is going to have to just tell you herself.”
--
Everyone returned from their outing happy and refreshed.
Sonic was greeted warmly by everyone, everyone except Amy, Shadow, and probably Alex. Abby and Rainbow approached Sonic as he still lay on Knuckles’ bed, “Here Sonic. We brought you back some lunch,” Abby smiled warmly as Rainbow added, pointing at the brown bag they gave him, “I put some of my extra french-fries in there, along with Anita’s.” Alex could be heard from the hallway, “I ate all of mine. I mean, who ever heard the phrase, ‘Hey look! Alexis is giving away free food!’. No.” Sonic rolled his eyes as the cougar disappeared into the girl’s dorm room.
Everyone was just as surprised as Sonic to see Rockfire and Spark here again. To most everyone’s surprise, Rockfire appealed immediately to-would you believe it- Knuckles and Shadow! Of all people! Especially Knuckles. Rockfire was even ‘attempting’ to improve Knuckles’ already poor math skills.
Rainjha hugged Spark and laughed, “Where have you been all this time?” Spark smiled, hugging Rainjha back, “With Sky. He’s doing quite well y-“ Suddenly, Spark was interrupted as Knuckles let out a hoarse cry,
“UGH! What is this all over my pillow case!!!???”
Sonic laughed at Knuckles, who quickly slung the pillow case onto the floor with his tongue stuck out in disgust, “I’ll explain later Knux but BELIEVE me, you DON’T want to know.”
--
Sonic was still tired and stayed in the boy’s dorm most of that day.
Right now, Silver, Mist, Abby, Anita, and Tails were playing video games with Sonic, Alex was taking her own nap on her bed, Rainjha and Amy were….elsewhere, and…..
Daggeron let his hands fall deep into the recesses of his pants pockets as he talked casually to Shadow and Scythe as the three walked down the hallway. Shadow was drinking a cup of coffee, and looked like he could care less about the leopard’s problems. Scythe was listening intently to what Daggy had to say. Again, Shadow could CARE LESS. Actually, he did CARE LESS.
“You know what...I’m going to do it! The next time I see her I’m gonna ask her! Right now!” Daggeron’s tail was puffed up and it swished with happiness as Shadow rolled his eyes, speaking slowly before dipping his nose into his drink again, “Your such a daredevil, “ He rolled his eyes and spoke sarcastically.
Scythe shrugged his shoulders as the three rounded a corner, “I dunno Daggy…do you think this is the best idea you have had?” Daggeron scoffed, “Why not??” Scythe grimaced, “Well….uh…..there’s som-…”
Before Scythe could think about finishing his sentence, Daggeron rushed forwards, meeting someone that was coming down the hallway. Again Shadow rolled his eyes, “Why is he freaking out about this anyway? It’s ridiculous.” Shadow didn’t know…he didn’t even know yet!....
Cream was coming down the hallway with a small blanket in her arms that she was taking for Sonic. Since he was still recovering, almost everyone was doing their part in helping him out in any way they could. Cream spoke softly to Cheese, who sat atop the fluffy afghan, “Oh Cheese…Isn’t it just...wonderful?” Cheese smiled and rubbed his head against Cream’s hand, “Chu!”
Before Cream could speak to her minute companion once more, Daggeron coughed, getting the small rabbit’s attention.
Daggeron shuffled his feet for a moment or two, and then he spoke in a somewhat quavery voice, “Uhrm…Cream….there’s something I’ve,….uh….wanted to ask you….um….”
Daggeron looked back at Shadow and Scythe for support. Scythe weakly gave him a thumbs up, although he knew what was going to happen, he said nothing. Shadow ignored Daggy and continued lightly sipping his coffee.
A nearby poster stuck to the wall had caught Daggeron’s eye.
Soon in about a week, after Christmas, there would be a New Year’s dance that was for eighth grade though tenth.
Perfect.
Cream smiled to Daggeron, speaking in her high pitched, soft voice of hers, “What is it that you want to ask me Daggy?”
Daggeron closed his eyes and swallowed hard and then paused for a moment. Finally, he spoke slowly, trying not to stutter, “Cream….um….
Will….you go out with me?”
Cream felt as if someone had dumped a bucket of ice down her back. She bit her lip and her gaze flicked from Daggy’s anxious face to Scythe, who was making a rapid, throat-slitting motion with his hand across his throat, and then to Shadow, who was holding his cup and sighing with exasperation, wondering how he ended up with the two in the hall in the first place.
As Shadow went to take another sip of his coffee, Cream stammered, “Um….Daggy, I’m sorry but….
Tails is my boyfriend now!”
Suddenly, Shadow’s head jerked forwards as his left hand flew to his face, his eyes squeezing shut tight. As Shadow went to take a drink of his coffee, Cream gave her announcement to Daggy, and as Shadow was about to bust out laughing, he snorted into his coffee, sending a cascade of the hot liquid onto his chest fur, as well as up in his nose. He quickly pinched his black nose to keep the scalding coffee from coming painfully out as bubbles came up in his drink as he struggled to keep from laughing.
Scythe groaned and slapped a palm to his forehead, letting his hand slip down his face as he leaned over and touched Daggy’s shoulder, “Daggs? You…You ok?...”
Daggeron seemed like he was frozen in suspended animation. He only muttered these simple words, with poor Cream nervous and not knowing what else to say,
“O-oh.”
--
After that...quite awkward moment, Cream quickly left to give Sonic his blanket with her puffy cheeks blushed red. Scythe had to almost lead Daggeron away from the scene, as his mouth was still stuck in that ‘oh’ position, and his gaze was pointed straight ahead of him, a glossy look covering his eyes.
Shadow quickly went to the nearby water fountain so he could clean his chest fur free of the brown coffee, which was starting to burn him badly. He blew his nose hard to get it all out, and then he tipped his face under the water flow to wash his face off.
Now that the dance was coming soon, and Christmas Eve was shortly approaching, everyone was scrambling to get dates for the New Year’s dance. Knuckles had decided to ask Abby to the dance, who was happy to take the rough Echidna along. Scythe was going with Rainbow, and Silver and Rockfire were content to go alone, since they already had girls elsewhere waiting for them. Since Blaze was attending an advanced school that she worked hard to get into, Silver didn’t get to see her much, and since Rockfire decided to come visit Sonic and friends, it had been a while since he had seen Erin. Tails of course was going with Cream. And…who was everyone ELSE going with you ask? Hmm? Well….you must keep reading! Dur! xD
Anita quietly exited the boy’s dorm room. Since everyone was bored out of their wits, everyone was staying in the boy’s room for the day, playing board games and watching T.V. She left the door slightly open, as she was going to come back in again.
She silently took a short walk down the hallway, purposely averting her gaze from the massive stains of blood on the floor. Her long, poofy tail swished with agitation as she muttered silently to herself, gripping at a crumpled flier that told about the New Year’s Dance in her palm, “I don’t understand…Am….Am I the only one without a date? No one has asked me yet…..”
“That shows how much everyone likes you.”
---Burn.
Shadow slowly stepped out from behind the fountain, wiping the water free from his mouth as he spoke with a silky taunt in his tone, causing Anita to already start to boil with anger. His eyebrows were raised and his eyelids were closed almost to mere slits, and he crossed his arms and raised his head, sizing the poor cat up.
This would be amusing.
Anita snarled, snapping her gaze away from the hedgehog, “Leave me alone Shadow. I don’t have time to deal with you right now.”
Shadow smirked, showing his teeth in a rare smile for a split second, so fast that Anita failed to see it, “I didn’t chose to speak with you. You’re the one who got in my way.”
Anita rolled her eyes, “Whatever.” Neither of them spoke for a moment or two, the sound of crumpling paper ringing through the halls as Anita unfolded the sheet she held tight in her fist. She was speaking more to herself than to Shadow, but not realizing it, it seemed as if she was directing her voice straight at him, “I just don’t understand it. I’m…I think I am the only person that doesn’t have a partner to the dance yet.”
Shadow quickly took this opportunity to have a bit of fun, his right boot tapping with a small ‘click’ ‘clack’ sound on the floor as he shrugged his shoulders, closing his eyes and speaking in a voice clear enough so Anita could hear, “I don’t have anyone to go with, nor do I plan to. Besides, even if we’re the only two without dates, what makes you think I would want to go with the likes of you?”
---Ouch. Double Burn.
Anita was boiling on the inside, and her tail puffed up to twice it’s size as she threw her hands to her sides, her pink hair flying into her eyes, “Why don’t you just leave me alone Shadow?”
“Because I’m having more fun than you think right now. Anita.” Shadow said Anita’s name slowly, again with that taunting tone, almost as if he was trying to rub her fur the wrong way.
Anita turned her face to Shadow’s now, squeezing the paper in her hand so hard that it ripped between her fingers, “You know what?! I didn’t even ask you to the dance, no do I think I would even WANT TO!”
Shadow chuckled lightly, “Are you sure about that?”
Anita was floored. It was if Shadow could READ HER MIND. Anita closed her eyes and exhaled for a long time. Finally she spoke with her shoulders shaking, and her voice came out through gritted teeth, “No. No I’m not sure. I know you hate me Shadow, so that’s why I decided not to even try and ask.”
Shadow rolled his eyes, his left ear flicking as he spoke in a low voice, “I’m going to take pity on you.” “What!?”
Anita flashed her blazing eyes towards Shadow’s as he continued,
“I will go to this dance with you, but don’t expect me to give everyone hugs, rainbows, and sunshine. If you cross that line you will be on the floor faster than you can say “ouch”. I don’t care if you’re a girl.”
Triple. Burn</b>
Anita smiled slyly, crossing her arms as she stuffed the flier into her jeans pocket, “I wouldn’t count on that Shadow the Hedgehog. But….”
Before Shadow could move, Anita quickly stepped forwards and kissed him on the cheek. Then she muttered into his ear, “Thank you Shadow.”
Shadow was stunned as Anita slowly walked away, disappearing around the corner.
Shadow closed his eyes and thought to himself, shaking his head slowly as he followed the cat’s trail to the boy’s dorm again, If she turns out like Amy I swear….
--
Sonic was sitting on Knuckles’ bed still, and Knuckles had quickly taken his bed sheets away for a through cleaning. He was working on the french-fries that Rainbow gave him, but he was eating slowly, his jaws still hurting him where the doctor stitched up the inside.
He was wiping ketchup from his jaws when Alex suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him from the bed, turning him around to face her. Everyone else was playing a board game or something. Anita was whispering excitedly to Cream, Rainbow, and Abby, while Mist, Silver, Knuckles, and Scythe played a videogame while Shadow and Daggy watched, Daggy with his same stony expression. Rockfire and Spark were talking happily to each other.
Sonic’s shoulders raised in fear as the cat suddenly hissed in his face, “I don’t know WHAT kind of stunt your trying to pull, but I don’t appreciate it. You leave Rainjha alone, and quit toying with her feelings. She told me to tell you that SHE is going to the dance with Spark, and NOT the likes of you!” Sonic shook in his shoes as Alex gripped him tighter, flame dancing in her eyes, “If you ever do something like that to Amy or Rainjha again, I’ll pull that skin right off of your face again!!!!”
Alex roughly threw Sonic to the bed as she stomped out of the room, slamming the door.
Spark raised his eyebrows, “What was that all about??”
Sonic stammered, “I-…I….”
What…What did I do to them!? Why…I didn’t ask anyone to the dance yet!!
Suddenly, Sonic heard Amy’s voice from behind the door, soft and slow, “Sonic…I need to talk to you for a moment.”
--
“Amy….What’s wrong?”
Sonic had slowly limped out of the room, his body still being subjected to great pain, especially from Alex’s rough handling. Amy was standing there beside the wall, something clutched in her hands with her gaze cast towards her shoes, unseen tears melting into her chest fur.
“Sonic….Sonic…” Sonic raised his eyebrows as Amy suddenly brought her gaze up to his, her eyes filled with anger and sadness, “I can’t believe you Sonic! That…that you would do something like that!!” “Do wh-..” “And…All this time….I knew you didn’t care that much but….now I know that you don’t care about me AT ALL!!”
Sonic raised his hands up in defense, Amy’s teeth gritted in a firm line as she screamed at him, tears dripping from her face, “What did I do Amy!?”
“You know EXACTLY what you did! Exactly!”
Sonic snarled, his gaze suddenly turning icy, “What is wrong with you? You really have a bad attitude today!”
Amy almost could have had fire coming from her mouth right then as she hollered, “And for your information, I already have a new boyfriend!!”
Sonic crossed his arms, rolling his eyes sarcastically, “Oh Really? Who is he!?”
Amy wailed in Sonic’s face, “Mist!! And I know he cares about me A LOT MORE THAN YOU DO!!!!!”
Sonic hissed in Amy’s face, “How much did you pay him?</b>”
That was the last straw. THE LAST STRAW.
Amy had beads of tears coming from the corners of her eyes as she brought her left hand around hard, slapping Sonic in the face on the remotely uninjured side, and as Sonic gripped as his now bleeding jaw, Amy screamed at him before hurling something at his feet, “Merry Christmas, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!!”
Sonic winced as the door beside him slammed hard…
Then….
He slowly bent down, his back pressed against the wall as he fell into a sitting position, suddenly realizing what he had done as he read the thing Amy hurled at him,
I hope you like your new girlfriend Sonic. Rainjha. I’ll bet she enjoyed that kiss as much as you did.
Sonic groaned, throwing the note to the floor in a rage as he pressed his face into his gloved hands. Boy had he screwed up this time…
Sonic’s shoulders shook as he began to sob openly, knowing that no one could see him in that darkened hallway… His tears fell between his feet, staining the carpet with a darker green as the liquid melted into the material….
The note swirled through the hall as the icy wind from an open window blew it down the hallway, causing it to disappear into the darkness……
What a Christmas this was turning out to be….
For Sonic the Hedgehog.
Sonic had to remain in some intense recovery for several days after his operation. He remembered how painful it was for his limbs and his skin on his muzzle to regrow and form again, especially at night. He remembered that he would lie in his hospital bed, sweat pouring from his brow and his teeth gritted in a firm line as his chest heaved, he alone trying his hardest not to wail in pain. He would look out into the window and try to get his mind off of the agonizing pain by watching the many stars blink at him in the sky, and the moon casting a gentle, warming glow on his face.
Now the doctors were allowing Sonic to return to his dorm at school, but he still must remain in bed for several more days, making repeat trips back to the doctor for a change of gauze. In his time in recovery, Sonic had received multiple get well presents.
He had gotten a large heart-shaped card that Tails, Cream, Anita, and Silver came together to make. He got a box of chocolates from Rainjha and Alex, though he wasn’t surprised to see a couple of the candies missing….
Mist and Knuckles ‘tried’ to draw Sonic a picture, though it ended up as stick people. Abby, Rainbow, Daggy, and Scythe brought Sonic a large balloon, blue with red stripes on it.
Even Shadow got Sonic something, only it wasn’t what he expected. Shadow came in one day and dropped it on the table, without a word, and then left through the open doorway.
Sonic laughed so hard that the cuts on his face almost split open again when he saw Shadow’s ‘gift’. Shadow had given Sonic a small cookie that he had gotten from the hospital’s cafeteria. It tasted like cardboard, but he figured that it was the thought that counted.
Sonic was confused that Amy didn’t give him something. In fact, he hadn’t seen her in the last few days. He tried not to worry about it, but for some reason….he did.
Was it his conscious poking and prodding him about something he had forgotten? Her birthday perhaps?
--
Everyone now was back in their dorms at school, and since this school didn’t have classes on Friday, there was no school work to be done at the moment. The entire gang went bowling together, and they promised that they would take Sonic on an outing with them as soon as he recovered enough. Tails had volunteered to stay with Sonic that day, no matter how much the blue wonder protested. Tails was stuck with him for the rest of the morning.
Sonic now smiled to himself gently as he felt warm sunlight spilling onto his face from that very window that he had fallen under a few nights ago. He grimaced hard as he could still see the numerous blood stains littering the halls.
Sonic was much better from a few days ago, though still sore and in great amounts of pain. It took a lot of effort just to make it through the halls, using things against the walls as support. Sonic’s bandages that covered his head had been removed, the top of his head where his head spikes met his ears now only slightly bruised. However, Sonic still had those interlacing bandages wrapped tight in protection over the two gashes on his cheek. He also still had some bandages wrapped around his upper chest.
Also, when Sonic was in the hospital, he had gotten severely dehydrated. So, the doctors were forced to place I.V.’s in the hedgehog’s tender wrists. Now he had bandages that started almost at his elbows, and ran all the way down his arm, melting into the openings in his gloves. He was wearing his shoes now, but he was sore from lying in bed for so many hours, and he limped badly when he walked.
Sonic gratefully entered the boy’s dorm, which Tails had left slightly ajar so Sonic could enter without trouble. Sonic placed his numerous gifts on Mist and Silver’s bunk bed, knowing that they wouldn’t mind if he set them there for now. He also let his balloon float out of his grasp, flying up, up, until it gently bumped against the ceiling.
The room was deathly quiet, and totally empty. Sonic figured that Tails went to eat lunch, or something like that. Whatever the reason, he didn’t mind one bit. All he wanted to do was rest for now.
Sonic slowly lowered himself onto Knuckles’ bed, who offered his to Sonic, since Sonic’s bunk was high off of the ground. Sonic kicked off his shoes and allowed them to fall into a crumpled heap onto the floor. Then he used his toes to prod the T.V. remote by his feet, turning it on and pushing it into his hand.
Sonic lay there for a few minutes, flipping through the channels and trying to find at least something interesting to watch. Sonic frowned as the channels he flipped through were nothing but trash. He thought grimly as he finally changed it to the food channel, knowing at least THIS would be clean, You can’t watch ANYTHING these days that’s actually fitting to watch. Sonic lay there on his back as he listened to the woman on T.V. tell him how to make chocolate smoothies.
Being bored out of his wits, Sonic unknowingly fell into a sleep that was finally filled with some rest…though…..he just couldn’t get Amy off of his mind.
--
“Sonic! Sonic! Get UP you lazy hedgehog, GET UP!!!!”
Sonic mumbled something as someone flipped him over, “Snnnx….no Shad….don’t….sssnore…jump from that…bridge,…..grpp…itss dagrous……zzzz….”
Sonic woke up with a start, his eye twitching as he opened his eyes. He blinked a few times to clear his blurry vision, also shaking his head a couple of times.
Tails was over him, shaking him lightly with a huge smile spread over his furry face. His two tails were wrapped around Knuckles’ bed post as he laughed with glee, “Wake up Sonic!! There’s someone special here to see ya!!!”
Before Sonic could reply, Tails bolted around the corner of the bed, disappearing through the door and almost shutting it in his haste. Sonic sleepily rose from Knuckles’ pillow, yawing loudly until his face started hurting and he had to shut his mouth. He ran his tongue around the corners of his mouth as he wiped his face with the back of his hand, then recoiling with disgust. Sonic apparently had drooled ALL OVER his face, as well as on Knuckles’ pillow. Ew.
Oops. He would have to explain it to him later.
Tails’ voice rang out clearly to him again, “Lean up in bed Sonic, you don’t need to get up! I’ll bring him too you!”
Bring…Who?
Sonic wiped his eyes with his not spitty glove, wiping his other hand vigorously on a nearby towel. Sonic could see that it was now well past noon, his eyes having trouble getting used to the now bright light. The gang was probably out eating or something. Tails did admit to Sonic earlier that he did go off for a few hours to go do something, but again Sonic didn’t mind.
Sonic snapped his head around quickly as Tails opened the door, someone entered, and then shutting the door behind him.
To begin with, Sonic could only see a silhouette, as his vision was still adjusting to the bright light. He could see Tails give the figure a great hug, and then faint laughter hit his ear drums. Then Tails smiled, “Come closer to him…he probably can’t see us way over here.”
Sonic’s eyes suddenly grew wide and his jaws dropped open, stretching and straining the bandages on the corner of his mouth. He chuckled weakly, then the chuckles growing as loud as he could muster without throwing himself into a coughing fit.
“I.-….I can’t believe it!!’
A young wolf around Sonic’s age stood there, his tail gently flicking back and forth. A large smile was on his face, and another person stood close by him though Sonic couldn’t see him just yet, as his face was bathed in shadows.
Sonic laughed aloud now, coughing hoarsely,
“R-……
Rockfire!?”
--
Rockfire the wolf was standing right in front of Sonic, a coy smile on his face as he placed his hand on his friend’s shoulder, “Better shut your mouth Sonic. Don’t want something flying in there do we?”
Rockfire was a quite old friend of Sonic’s. Rockfire and Sonic had long had fun together, and they even kidnapped Rockfire’s best friend once…that was so much fun!.
((Chi interruption: NOT FOR ME! D8))
Rockfire was quite skinny and lanky, just as tall as Sonic, but maybe just a hair shorter. His fur was VERY dark, so dark that at first glance it looked black, but it was actually a very dark shade of grey. His trademark was the most beautiful blue spots that ran down his back to the tip of his tail, also on his wrists and ankles. The blue spots mimicked the markings of a clouded leopard, even though Rocky was a wolf.
He had large patches of blue over his eyes, then three smaller dots under his eyes. His muzzle was still VERY dark, however, it did have a tint of that same blue on it. Right above his blue nose sat a pair of eyes that were crystal blue, like two small chips of ice. Between his eyes was a large blue tuft of hair that went down the back of his head, ending a good ways above the base of his neck. Lastly, Rockfire had two golden bands that hung loosely on his wrists, much like Shadow’s. Also, Rocky had the ability to control ice, like Mist could bend water and the metal alloys contained inside of it, as well as any other types of metal.
Tightly gripped in his claws was a small plushie of a wolf, one that was pure white with black on the tips of it’s tail, ears, and paws. Rockfire placed it in the hedgehog’s lap, proceeding to sit down on the edge of Knuckles’ bed, moving his fluffy tail away from Sonic’s spit as he smiled, “I heard about what happened. I decided to visit and see how you were doing.” Sonic chuckled, “I’m a lot better now, but it still hurts. It was purely an accident, though I hope those involved won’t do this again.”
Tails suddenly grimaced a bit, raising a gloved hand and wincing, “Oh and…Sonic…Uhm…I forgot to mention that…Rockfire brought someone else</b> with him.”
Sonic craned his neck to see who that figure hidden behind Tails was, and when he saw him, he almost fell forwards out of Knuckles’ drool laden bed.
Sonic was barely able to let his words slip from his open mouth,
“S-…Spark!?”
Spark was a fox that Sonic, Shadow, Mist, Tails, Alex, and Rainjha knew from about a year ago. He, Sky, Mist, Alex, Rainjha, and a few others were clones that Eggman ‘failed’ to create from Sonic’s DNA and the Chaos Emeralds’ energy. Each of them were imbued forever with the sole power of each Chaos emerald-
Mist dark blue-Water and Metal
Rainjha dark purple-Shadows and Darkness
Alex ruby red- Fire and flame
Sky cyan blue- Wind and air
Another being Sonic couldn’t remember the name of had the green emerald- Earth and rock
Spark yellow- Electricity
And finally Sonic had…the clear emerald which imbued him with light.
Seven beings. Seven Chaos Emeralds. Only Sonic was able to master them all, and Eggman branded the others as ‘failed’ experiments, each only being able to withstand the pull of one chaos emerald, and one alone.
Spark had been a henchman of Eggman’s, and after that horrific night ((Chi Interruption: Read SSS when I put it up)) Sonic never saw him, or Sky, again.
Now here he stood, a weak smile on his face as he spoke softly, “Hi Sonic…Remember me?”
Sonic sat up in bed, wide eyed and numb with shock.
Spark had grown since he had last seen him, just as he expected he had.
Spark was a fox of a pure and rich yellow, almost golden. His muzzle was such a light yellow, that at first glance you would mistake it as white. In the face, he resembled Tails, another ‘flaw’ as Eggman might say. Between his perked ears was some swing bangs that fell slightly over his left eye, that same golden yellow, only tipped with pure midnight black. On the very corners of his eyes were small black arrows, exactly like Shadow’s. Sonic figured that Eggman didn’t get too creative with the ‘cloning’ process.
Anyways, Spark had puffy white chest fur, just like Tails as well, only he only had one tail, which was also dipped in black. The edges of that black were that same yellow that was almost mistaken as white. Spark wore gloves like most everyone else, except Rockfire, who usually wore none. However, though you couldn’t see it, Spark had long, black spike shapes on the backs of his hands, and they ran up his arm, but stopping much shorter than Shadow’s red stripes, stopping at his wrists. Spark had bright auburn eyes, and his nose was pure black.
He could be Tails’ brother, and Shadow’s long lost cousin of some sort. Sonic felt a bit bad for him, but he was shocked that he was right there after WORKING FOR FATSO!
Sonic was immediately on the defensive, “Tails! Ho-“
Tails at once corrected Sonic’s confusion, “It’s alright Sonic. I know….what ‘happened’ but you can’t judge Spark for that now. He actually helped in destroying Eggman’s lab a few months ago, after….” Tails swallowed, having trouble talking about the tough situation that was best left to be told in another story, “..after we brought you back.”
Spark gently placed a small Christmas tree on the end table beside the T.V., a gift for Sonic, “Sonic…you must understand….Sky and I were forced to work for Eggman in such a manner.” Spark closed his eyes, “It was either that…or die.”
Sonic was suddenly filled with regret for how he was treating Spark, “I’m…I’m sorry…I didn’t know.” Spark only nodded silently.
Rockfire crossed his arms and bounced on the bed a little bit, “Enough sad faces and talk! Tails’ has something to tell ya Sonic!!”
Sonic raised his eyebrows and turned to Tails, who was shuffling his feet where he stood, “Tails…what did you do?”
Tails shrugged and sat on the edge of the bed beside Rockfire, “W-Well….while you were sleeping I went to see if the….if the others were still bowling, you know?” Sonic smiled softly, as not to hurt his face again, “And?”
“A-and….well, they had already went to eat, so I met them at the restaurant….and….” Tails blushed hard, and he pushed his nose into his fur in a feeble attempt to hide his beet red face. Sonic chuckled, throwing his hands over his head, “Go on! Spit it out!”
Tails sighed heavily, finally coming out with his point, “Well….
Sonic,…” Tails grinned widely, “Cream is my girlfriend now!”
Sonic ruffled Tails’ hair as he giggled, “Good for you Tails! I always knew you two would make a great couple!” Tails smiled and blushed again, “Thanks Sonic….”
Sonic looked at his feet for a moment, “Though I’m wondering….What’s with Amy lately? She won’t talk to me, and I haven’t seen her in days! By now she would be smothering me with gifts or something.” Tails suddenly grew silent and his body went stiff, “It’s not my position to tell you that Sonic.” “What?!” “Cream told me something that I can’t tell you Sonic. Amy is going to have to just tell you herself.”
--
Everyone returned from their outing happy and refreshed.
Sonic was greeted warmly by everyone, everyone except Amy, Shadow, and probably Alex. Abby and Rainbow approached Sonic as he still lay on Knuckles’ bed, “Here Sonic. We brought you back some lunch,” Abby smiled warmly as Rainbow added, pointing at the brown bag they gave him, “I put some of my extra french-fries in there, along with Anita’s.” Alex could be heard from the hallway, “I ate all of mine. I mean, who ever heard the phrase, ‘Hey look! Alexis is giving away free food!’. No.” Sonic rolled his eyes as the cougar disappeared into the girl’s dorm room.
Everyone was just as surprised as Sonic to see Rockfire and Spark here again. To most everyone’s surprise, Rockfire appealed immediately to-would you believe it- Knuckles and Shadow! Of all people! Especially Knuckles. Rockfire was even ‘attempting’ to improve Knuckles’ already poor math skills.
Rainjha hugged Spark and laughed, “Where have you been all this time?” Spark smiled, hugging Rainjha back, “With Sky. He’s doing quite well y-“ Suddenly, Spark was interrupted as Knuckles let out a hoarse cry,
“UGH! What is this all over my pillow case!!!???”
Sonic laughed at Knuckles, who quickly slung the pillow case onto the floor with his tongue stuck out in disgust, “I’ll explain later Knux but BELIEVE me, you DON’T want to know.”
--
Sonic was still tired and stayed in the boy’s dorm most of that day.
Right now, Silver, Mist, Abby, Anita, and Tails were playing video games with Sonic, Alex was taking her own nap on her bed, Rainjha and Amy were….elsewhere, and…..
Daggeron let his hands fall deep into the recesses of his pants pockets as he talked casually to Shadow and Scythe as the three walked down the hallway. Shadow was drinking a cup of coffee, and looked like he could care less about the leopard’s problems. Scythe was listening intently to what Daggy had to say. Again, Shadow could CARE LESS. Actually, he did CARE LESS.
“You know what...I’m going to do it! The next time I see her I’m gonna ask her! Right now!” Daggeron’s tail was puffed up and it swished with happiness as Shadow rolled his eyes, speaking slowly before dipping his nose into his drink again, “Your such a daredevil, “ He rolled his eyes and spoke sarcastically.
Scythe shrugged his shoulders as the three rounded a corner, “I dunno Daggy…do you think this is the best idea you have had?” Daggeron scoffed, “Why not??” Scythe grimaced, “Well….uh…..there’s som-…”
Before Scythe could think about finishing his sentence, Daggeron rushed forwards, meeting someone that was coming down the hallway. Again Shadow rolled his eyes, “Why is he freaking out about this anyway? It’s ridiculous.” Shadow didn’t know…he didn’t even know yet!....
Cream was coming down the hallway with a small blanket in her arms that she was taking for Sonic. Since he was still recovering, almost everyone was doing their part in helping him out in any way they could. Cream spoke softly to Cheese, who sat atop the fluffy afghan, “Oh Cheese…Isn’t it just...wonderful?” Cheese smiled and rubbed his head against Cream’s hand, “Chu!”
Before Cream could speak to her minute companion once more, Daggeron coughed, getting the small rabbit’s attention.
Daggeron shuffled his feet for a moment or two, and then he spoke in a somewhat quavery voice, “Uhrm…Cream….there’s something I’ve,….uh….wanted to ask you….um….”
Daggeron looked back at Shadow and Scythe for support. Scythe weakly gave him a thumbs up, although he knew what was going to happen, he said nothing. Shadow ignored Daggy and continued lightly sipping his coffee.
A nearby poster stuck to the wall had caught Daggeron’s eye.
Soon in about a week, after Christmas, there would be a New Year’s dance that was for eighth grade though tenth.
Perfect.
Cream smiled to Daggeron, speaking in her high pitched, soft voice of hers, “What is it that you want to ask me Daggy?”
Daggeron closed his eyes and swallowed hard and then paused for a moment. Finally, he spoke slowly, trying not to stutter, “Cream….um….
Will….you go out with me?”
Cream felt as if someone had dumped a bucket of ice down her back. She bit her lip and her gaze flicked from Daggy’s anxious face to Scythe, who was making a rapid, throat-slitting motion with his hand across his throat, and then to Shadow, who was holding his cup and sighing with exasperation, wondering how he ended up with the two in the hall in the first place.
As Shadow went to take another sip of his coffee, Cream stammered, “Um….Daggy, I’m sorry but….
Tails is my boyfriend now!”
Suddenly, Shadow’s head jerked forwards as his left hand flew to his face, his eyes squeezing shut tight. As Shadow went to take a drink of his coffee, Cream gave her announcement to Daggy, and as Shadow was about to bust out laughing, he snorted into his coffee, sending a cascade of the hot liquid onto his chest fur, as well as up in his nose. He quickly pinched his black nose to keep the scalding coffee from coming painfully out as bubbles came up in his drink as he struggled to keep from laughing.
Scythe groaned and slapped a palm to his forehead, letting his hand slip down his face as he leaned over and touched Daggy’s shoulder, “Daggs? You…You ok?...”
Daggeron seemed like he was frozen in suspended animation. He only muttered these simple words, with poor Cream nervous and not knowing what else to say,
“O-oh.”
--
After that...quite awkward moment, Cream quickly left to give Sonic his blanket with her puffy cheeks blushed red. Scythe had to almost lead Daggeron away from the scene, as his mouth was still stuck in that ‘oh’ position, and his gaze was pointed straight ahead of him, a glossy look covering his eyes.
Shadow quickly went to the nearby water fountain so he could clean his chest fur free of the brown coffee, which was starting to burn him badly. He blew his nose hard to get it all out, and then he tipped his face under the water flow to wash his face off.
Now that the dance was coming soon, and Christmas Eve was shortly approaching, everyone was scrambling to get dates for the New Year’s dance. Knuckles had decided to ask Abby to the dance, who was happy to take the rough Echidna along. Scythe was going with Rainbow, and Silver and Rockfire were content to go alone, since they already had girls elsewhere waiting for them. Since Blaze was attending an advanced school that she worked hard to get into, Silver didn’t get to see her much, and since Rockfire decided to come visit Sonic and friends, it had been a while since he had seen Erin. Tails of course was going with Cream. And…who was everyone ELSE going with you ask? Hmm? Well….you must keep reading! Dur! xD
Anita quietly exited the boy’s dorm room. Since everyone was bored out of their wits, everyone was staying in the boy’s room for the day, playing board games and watching T.V. She left the door slightly open, as she was going to come back in again.
She silently took a short walk down the hallway, purposely averting her gaze from the massive stains of blood on the floor. Her long, poofy tail swished with agitation as she muttered silently to herself, gripping at a crumpled flier that told about the New Year’s Dance in her palm, “I don’t understand…Am….Am I the only one without a date? No one has asked me yet…..”
“That shows how much everyone likes you.”
---Burn.
Shadow slowly stepped out from behind the fountain, wiping the water free from his mouth as he spoke with a silky taunt in his tone, causing Anita to already start to boil with anger. His eyebrows were raised and his eyelids were closed almost to mere slits, and he crossed his arms and raised his head, sizing the poor cat up.
This would be amusing.
Anita snarled, snapping her gaze away from the hedgehog, “Leave me alone Shadow. I don’t have time to deal with you right now.”
Shadow smirked, showing his teeth in a rare smile for a split second, so fast that Anita failed to see it, “I didn’t chose to speak with you. You’re the one who got in my way.”
Anita rolled her eyes, “Whatever.” Neither of them spoke for a moment or two, the sound of crumpling paper ringing through the halls as Anita unfolded the sheet she held tight in her fist. She was speaking more to herself than to Shadow, but not realizing it, it seemed as if she was directing her voice straight at him, “I just don’t understand it. I’m…I think I am the only person that doesn’t have a partner to the dance yet.”
Shadow quickly took this opportunity to have a bit of fun, his right boot tapping with a small ‘click’ ‘clack’ sound on the floor as he shrugged his shoulders, closing his eyes and speaking in a voice clear enough so Anita could hear, “I don’t have anyone to go with, nor do I plan to. Besides, even if we’re the only two without dates, what makes you think I would want to go with the likes of you?”
---Ouch. Double Burn.
Anita was boiling on the inside, and her tail puffed up to twice it’s size as she threw her hands to her sides, her pink hair flying into her eyes, “Why don’t you just leave me alone Shadow?”
“Because I’m having more fun than you think right now. Anita.” Shadow said Anita’s name slowly, again with that taunting tone, almost as if he was trying to rub her fur the wrong way.
Anita turned her face to Shadow’s now, squeezing the paper in her hand so hard that it ripped between her fingers, “You know what?! I didn’t even ask you to the dance, no do I think I would even WANT TO!”
Shadow chuckled lightly, “Are you sure about that?”
Anita was floored. It was if Shadow could READ HER MIND. Anita closed her eyes and exhaled for a long time. Finally she spoke with her shoulders shaking, and her voice came out through gritted teeth, “No. No I’m not sure. I know you hate me Shadow, so that’s why I decided not to even try and ask.”
Shadow rolled his eyes, his left ear flicking as he spoke in a low voice, “I’m going to take pity on you.” “What!?”
Anita flashed her blazing eyes towards Shadow’s as he continued,
“I will go to this dance with you, but don’t expect me to give everyone hugs, rainbows, and sunshine. If you cross that line you will be on the floor faster than you can say “ouch”. I don’t care if you’re a girl.”
Triple. Burn</b>
Anita smiled slyly, crossing her arms as she stuffed the flier into her jeans pocket, “I wouldn’t count on that Shadow the Hedgehog. But….”
Before Shadow could move, Anita quickly stepped forwards and kissed him on the cheek. Then she muttered into his ear, “Thank you Shadow.”
Shadow was stunned as Anita slowly walked away, disappearing around the corner.
Shadow closed his eyes and thought to himself, shaking his head slowly as he followed the cat’s trail to the boy’s dorm again, If she turns out like Amy I swear….
--
Sonic was sitting on Knuckles’ bed still, and Knuckles had quickly taken his bed sheets away for a through cleaning. He was working on the french-fries that Rainbow gave him, but he was eating slowly, his jaws still hurting him where the doctor stitched up the inside.
He was wiping ketchup from his jaws when Alex suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him from the bed, turning him around to face her. Everyone else was playing a board game or something. Anita was whispering excitedly to Cream, Rainbow, and Abby, while Mist, Silver, Knuckles, and Scythe played a videogame while Shadow and Daggy watched, Daggy with his same stony expression. Rockfire and Spark were talking happily to each other.
Sonic’s shoulders raised in fear as the cat suddenly hissed in his face, “I don’t know WHAT kind of stunt your trying to pull, but I don’t appreciate it. You leave Rainjha alone, and quit toying with her feelings. She told me to tell you that SHE is going to the dance with Spark, and NOT the likes of you!” Sonic shook in his shoes as Alex gripped him tighter, flame dancing in her eyes, “If you ever do something like that to Amy or Rainjha again, I’ll pull that skin right off of your face again!!!!”
Alex roughly threw Sonic to the bed as she stomped out of the room, slamming the door.
Spark raised his eyebrows, “What was that all about??”
Sonic stammered, “I-…I….”
What…What did I do to them!? Why…I didn’t ask anyone to the dance yet!!
Suddenly, Sonic heard Amy’s voice from behind the door, soft and slow, “Sonic…I need to talk to you for a moment.”
--
“Amy….What’s wrong?”
Sonic had slowly limped out of the room, his body still being subjected to great pain, especially from Alex’s rough handling. Amy was standing there beside the wall, something clutched in her hands with her gaze cast towards her shoes, unseen tears melting into her chest fur.
“Sonic….Sonic…” Sonic raised his eyebrows as Amy suddenly brought her gaze up to his, her eyes filled with anger and sadness, “I can’t believe you Sonic! That…that you would do something like that!!” “Do wh-..” “And…All this time….I knew you didn’t care that much but….now I know that you don’t care about me AT ALL!!”
Sonic raised his hands up in defense, Amy’s teeth gritted in a firm line as she screamed at him, tears dripping from her face, “What did I do Amy!?”
“You know EXACTLY what you did! Exactly!”
Sonic snarled, his gaze suddenly turning icy, “What is wrong with you? You really have a bad attitude today!”
Amy almost could have had fire coming from her mouth right then as she hollered, “And for your information, I already have a new boyfriend!!”
Sonic crossed his arms, rolling his eyes sarcastically, “Oh Really? Who is he!?”
Amy wailed in Sonic’s face, “Mist!! And I know he cares about me A LOT MORE THAN YOU DO!!!!!”
Sonic hissed in Amy’s face, “How much did you pay him?</b>”
That was the last straw. THE LAST STRAW.
Amy had beads of tears coming from the corners of her eyes as she brought her left hand around hard, slapping Sonic in the face on the remotely uninjured side, and as Sonic gripped as his now bleeding jaw, Amy screamed at him before hurling something at his feet, “Merry Christmas, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!!”
Sonic winced as the door beside him slammed hard…
Then….
He slowly bent down, his back pressed against the wall as he fell into a sitting position, suddenly realizing what he had done as he read the thing Amy hurled at him,
I hope you like your new girlfriend Sonic. Rainjha. I’ll bet she enjoyed that kiss as much as you did.
Sonic groaned, throwing the note to the floor in a rage as he pressed his face into his gloved hands. Boy had he screwed up this time…
Sonic’s shoulders shook as he began to sob openly, knowing that no one could see him in that darkened hallway… His tears fell between his feet, staining the carpet with a darker green as the liquid melted into the material….
The note swirled through the hall as the icy wind from an open window blew it down the hallway, causing it to disappear into the darkness……
What a Christmas this was turning out to be….
For Sonic the Hedgehog.

Shadow was sitting on a bench in the park near the Station Square. It was way past midnight, but he didn't care. It was the saddest day of all of the year for him Maria's birthday.
Somehow it just made him go nuts, that even if she was dead he would still remember that date. Even if he still wasn't really sure if he's memories were real or not. Even if that really made his heart ache and his stomach hurt. All of this just made his head also hurt like the rest of his body.
