cards

CARDS

Amy carefully laid out the cards. She was in the midst of a very important card reading. She gulped as she flipped over the first card. The other cards followed suit. She sighed. The reading only proved her thoughts even more.

"What are you doing Rose?" A deep voice caught her off guard.

Amy bounced up in her spot to see Shadow standing over her. His normal expression held some curiousness as his ruby eyes looked over the cards.

"Oh, I'm just asking a little tarot card reading." Amy replied.

"You look really serious about it." He noted, "Is there something bothering you?"

"Not really." Amy lied as she gathered up the cards. She hummed as she looked around the scenery of the woods. "What brings you here?"

"A race with Sonic," came the soft reply. "I won, but I wanted to take my time on my way back."

Amy nodded. "It's really nice here," she stated, "I saw some really beautiful birds once. You might find their songs annoying, but it's really relaxing to just watch them build their nests. It's like magic how they compact all those twigs together."

Shadow nodded. He glanced back at the cards. "What did you tell a fortune about? Sonic?" He had seen the pink hedgehog read the cards about her future with Sonic or just about Sonic in general often.

"Nah. Nothing to do with Sonic this time," she waved her hand in the air, dismissing the idea.

"Then what?" Shadow tilted his head.

"Um..." She paused. She didn't want to lie to Shadow nor did she want to tell him. "Can I keep that to myself?" She nearly whispered. "I want to keep it to myself for a while."

Shadow nodded. Rose had things she wanted to keep to herself. He kept most things to himself. He would respect her on that front. "Very well, would you like me to give you a lift home?" Shadow asked.

"That would be awesome. But don't you want to enjoy the scenery?" Amy smiled as she gestured to the woods.

"I can always come back later," he shrugged.

"How about we walk together? That way you can do both. I don't mind at all." Amy beamed.

Shadow nodded in agreement.

demon story

Luce shook his head. "That's your request?" He just couldn't believe it. She had summon him, a great demon, not to cause mayhem, but to run an errand.

"Yes," she nodded. She was curled up into a ball in a streaming hot bath.

Luce pinched the bridge of his nose. "Let's go over this. You summoned me, a demon, and your request of me is to go get you dark chocolate and watermelon?"

the woman nodded.

"Whoever put my crest on women's pads will feel my wrath." He muttered.

"Well it doesn't look like any one else is summoning you," the woman retorted.

Luce groaned. He had wanted work. He just didn't think he'd be turned into some woman's errand boy. "I'll be back." He disappeared into a puff of smoke.

He picked up a bunch of dark chocolate and a whole watermelon. The best thing about being a demon was that he could just appear in the store, take what he wanted and disappear. He didn't have to pay and the cameras wouldn't pick him up. Yay being a demon.

He teleported back and stared at the woman. She had fallen asleep in the tub. Her skin slightly red from the heat. He slightly hoped that she would drawn so he wouldn't have to serve her anymore. He place the items in the bathroom counter. He tapped joys got as he stared at the woman.

It would look bad if he let his first client in nearly have a century die. He opened a few drawers and found something. It looked cleaned. He pulled it out and found the batteries beside it. He put them in and sat beside the tub. He turned on the device. It made a soft buzzing sound. He pressed it against her cheek and waited.

She giggled as the object tickled her. She pushed it away as she woke up. She rubbed her eyes as she looked at the demon. "What are you doing playing with my vibrator?"

Luce shrugged. "I'm a demon stuck in servitude to a woman on her period who sends me to run silly errands for food. I wanted some payback."

The woman nodded. "Did you at least run the silly errand I sent you on?"

Luce pointed to the counter.

"You really are a great demon," she smiled as she stood up. She rung her hair out into the tub as she stepped out. She dried her body off with a towel before sitting on the toilet. She grabbed a clean pair of underwear from the drawer and a pad. Once she had adjusted that she threw a nightgown with stars on it. She unwrapped a chocolate bar and took a bit. "Yummy!" She beamed. She then grabbed the vibrator out of Luce's hand. She turned it off and took out the batteries. She cleaned it and placed it back in the drawer.

"Do you want to eat any of this with me?" She asked.

"Not really." He replied.

"Then you can go home. I'll be busy eating." She picked up the good and left the bathroom. "Oh, before I forget, thanks!" She turned back with a smile.

Luce sighed. "You're welcome."

poem

It's the beginning of the month

trees with pretty lights are every where

and I'm here just looking on

thinking about this that and so on.

I'm excited to work

don't really want to go to school anymore

just work and save

soon I'll be able to stand on my own

Tails fanfic

Tails gave a big yawn as he woke up. He had just had the deepest sleep in months. He sat up and stretched. He then froze as he looked around.

This wasn't his room. Not his workshop in Mystic Ruins. Nor the one on Cocoa Island. Not the one in the house the government gave him in Station Square. The government gave it to him for saving them from Eggman's missile and Tails just kept it. Even though he rarely used it.

This place didn't look like the room he had at his parents' place. Unless his mom redecorated.

That must be it. Tails concluded as he slowly got out of bed. He walked to the door and opened it slowly.

He couldn't quite remember how he had gotten to his parents' place. The last thing he remembered was flying his place.

Tails groaned.

He must have crashed the plane... Again.

His parents probably already had a lecture ready too. Tails stepped into a hallway. The hallway didn't look like the one at his parents home. He walked on a carpet soft enough to be a blanket. It was a dark color that he couldn't quite place in the dimly lit hallway.

He stopped when he saw a figure approaching him. It was Honey The Cat. Her signature pigtails bounced as she walked.

"What are you doing out of bed?" She chastised.

Tails shrugged. "I just woke up. How'd I get here?"

"You're plane spiralled out of controller from one of EggHead's bots. You crashed right next to my modeling shoot. We've had to put the whole thing on hold while the Freedom Fighters clean up the wreckage." Honey crossed her arms.

Tails nodded. Honey was going to hold the fact he put her fashion company behind schedule for a while, he was sure of that. "How far behind did schedule did I put your company?" He asked with a reluctant sigh. Maybe he could make it up to her somehow. Maybe find her a new place to do the shoot.

"They say it'll take a week at least before we can do the shoot." Honey replied. "And beaches are so hard to reserve." She muttered.

"Oh..." Tails nodded. "Cocoa Island has some really nice beaches. If you want, I can fly everyone and everything you need there in the sky patrol."

Honey made a tsking sound. "After your recent landing, I think you should take a break from flying. But I'll remember that offer for future use. Right now, you need rest. Back to bed with you."

"But I'm feeling fine." Tails whined as he slumped his shoulders.

"I don't care." Honey placed her hand on his shoulder and turned him around.

Tails paused as he stared at her. "When did you become shorter then me?" He whispered the question.

"You've had a few grow spurts since I last saw you." Honey retorted. "Now off to bed with you."

"But I'm not sleepy..." He pouted as he let her lead him back to bed.

"Well lunch isn't ready yet. So you'll have to stay in bed until then." Honey patted his shoulder.

"Okay..." Tails sighed as he got back in bed and curled up in the blankets.

Honey smiled as she passed him in the head. "I'll come get you once lunch is done."

poem how does it

How does it feel to know you were left in the rain?

how does it feel to know you're full of pain?

how does it feel to know that you'll forever be a stain?

on the concrete, never washing away, always seen but never acknowledged

How does it feel?

Don't you feel ill?

just look at what all you can kill

will you?

will you?

have you broken that much?

are you so untouched?

warmth, love, happiness

do you have none of this?

are you just a mess?

How does it feel to be left in the rain?

how does it feel to be full of pain?

how does it feel?

crying, screaming, cursing a name

desperately clawing to find a person to blame

is this all some cruel, sick game?

you wish it was.

so here we are

just look up at all those stars

is this what you want?

Am I being too blunt?

how does it feel to know you were left in the rain?

how does it feel to know you're full of pain?

is this the path you choose?

do you really want to purposely loose?

to give them what they want

is that what you want?

don't just give up, throw away, forfeit

how does it feel to know you were left in the rain?

how does it feel to know you're full of pain?

make it the strength, the fuel, the drive

you'll surely find a way to thrive

make them notice

you're not just the unwashable stain on the concrete

make them focus

so that they'll hear the sound of crunching leaves under your feet.

stuck zipper

Genie growled at the stuck zipper. She had been tugging and tugging, but it just wouldn't budge. She hissed as she felt a headache forming. She tugged at the zipper once more. She groaned as she began to take off the jacket like a normal shirt. She would fuss with the zipper later.

"Is the zipper still stuck?" Rosabella asked curiously.

"Yep," Genie popped the p loudly.

"Can I try my hand at it?" Rosabella asked sweetly. She felt awful for Genie who had been struggling with the stuck zipper since that morning.

Genie shrugged as she handed it over. "It couldn't hurt. Good luck."

Rosabella smiled as she held the orange jacket. It wasn't a bright orange, but a purposely dingy looking one. She sat in the floor of the theatre. She sat in one of the rows where she would be out of the way. She laid the jacket down flat. She stared at the zipper. It didn't have any hair in its teeth.

Amber Tears Excerpt

"And who is your friend Rosabella?" Bethel mused.

Genie felt as though the woman already knew who she was. But she appreciated that she was trying to get a proper greeting.

"This is my friend Genie Rocklins. Genie this is Bethel. She's a sorceress." Rosabella added.

"I also happen to own a very nice book store," she added as she stood. Genie was surprised that she was taller then the woman. Bethel extended her hand. "It's nice to meet you Genie. I hope your parents don't mind you being out so late."

"Oh they're not home today, so it's fine. It's nice to meet you too." Genie smiled as she took the hand.

"Well you've got a nice firm grip! That's a good thing." Bethel commented. "The real party is in the ballroom through that door. But feel free to explore the rooms that aren't locked. But since you're mortal, try not to leave Rosabella's side. Rosabella help her out with anything she doesn't understand."

"Yes Bethel," Rosabella nodded. She wrapped her arm around Genie's. "Let me introduce you to everyone here."

Genie nodded as she allowed Rosabella to guide her into the ballroom.

the ballroom was huge. There were several tables full of food and drinks. There were several people dancing and just chatting.

amber tears excerpt

Glenda pressed her hand on the doorway. She muttered some words and the edges of the door glowed softly. She stepped back and smiled.

Rosabella opened the door and dragged Genie inside by the arm. "Don't let go of me." She ordered in a soft whisper.

Genie smiled. "As if I would want to." She thought.

the old woman and Glenda stepped in. It was cramp and dark.

Genie heard some tapping on the wall. There was a sudden feeling of an elevator moving. At first they went up and then back down.

poem Doll

"This is garbage," the teacher says.

"Maybe I just want to make garbage?" I mentally retort.

you don't seem to understand the way i work

the wires for this doll is not normal

the cords and plugs are finicky.

broken and frayed

the wires were plugged out roughly from many places.

now the connectors don't work as you would wish

you can tape them up as much as you want

but it's not going to fix

I'm just a doll

a little doll

sitting in the room

my body daren't move.

little broken doll

the prongs in the plugs are bent.

your connectors can't quite fit

tears haven't been seen in so long

breaking down

the doll is tired

the doll is mad

the doll just wants out to end

to move on it's own

it doesn't want to connect anymore

it's hopeless you know

I'm only a defective doll

I'm only a garbage doll

do you understand the doll at all?

do you know the tape isn't working?

the doll is tired.

the doll is mad.

this doll doesn't want to be connected anymore

there's too much pain

"You're garbage."

that's all she's hearing

that's all she's feeling

it's hard for dolls who can't meet what you want

a defective doll doesn't want to be reminded anymore that the cords are frayed

that the plugs are damaged

that no matter what

fixing it will be impossible

the doll is tired

the doll is mad

the doll is done

the doll is garbage

the doll wishes to disconnect

 

 

 

poem

Tears from grey eyes fall upon the ground

somewhere there is a whispering sound

you're worries become your fears

and while you try to focus on sorting yourself

you find that you're stuck in one gear

stuck screaming at ones self

you can't move

oil & grease won't make this smooth

the others aren't waiting, moving along with out you

 

 

tub

Blood filled the tub. She had made a deep cut. Her short hair clung to her body from sweat. Her eyes looked down. Focusing on the movement of blood and suds. They formed silohouttes of images and she could only make up a story to herself.

"The doll is only a doll. It knows not what makes it. It knows not where it belongs. The connectors here don't fit it either. But the doll can't leave without that paper."

the voice was horse. It squeaked out and echoes bounced off the walls. She had used up nearly all of it earlier. Before the cutting, it seemed all she could do was cry and scream. Nothing would numb the pain. That was until she found the knife.

it was small but sharp. She wasn't quite sure why she had the excato knife. She had told herself to get rid of it after that class. She knew the danger it possesed over her. She knew she should have never had it in the first place. But they insisted she use it for class. Well she had certainly used it. The bath tub had spots that were a deep dark red. Other spots were light.

she smirked. It reminded her of her period blood in the toilet. She leaned her head against the wall of the bathtub. She was having trouble keeping her eyes open. She would close them for a bit.

the world went black but she could still hear sounds. The drip from the leaky sink was a sort of metronome to her. The sound of the air conditioner. For a long blissful time out was just this. Then foot steps drew closer. The door handle jiggled. There came a knock. She didn't feel like responding to the voice on the other side. There was another jiggle, but this one different. The door creeked opened. There was a loud commotion but she didn't paid it much attention. Apart of her was curious, but the other part was tired. Cooing for sleep and winning out. Her ears stayed opened and that was all that it would be.

poem

Taking a nap and waking to find

A man who many said would never win has won

the hope, joy, and pride has died, only leaving anger and fear behind

for hours, many, myself included, were stunned

because our country, land of the free, home of the brave, is apparently racist

but come to find later of a messy system, to you I'll insist

not every vote is equal

we can thank the Electoral college for that.

270 anonymous people from each state votes for the whole

they don't have to listen to us either

they just look at what we picked on our ballot

taking that into consideration,

but that doesn't mean they will

not only that, but the electoral college makes it where none of the votes are truly equal.

a person's vote in Maine is not the same worth as a person's vote in Florida.

it Is because of the electoral college that the person with the most actual votes is not our next president to be.

because only the votes in a few certain states matters and not the whole

It has happened 5 times now

shouldn't we do something about it?

it's like taking a class and splitting it into sections

Tommy's vote is worth 3 times more then Shaniquia

Shaniquia's vote is worth twice as much as Juan's vote

Carl's vote is worth 5 times more then Shaniquia's.

and now it's a math problem.

shouldn't each vote be equal to one another?

to come together as a whole in a simple long addition?

wouldn't that make us equal?

so why do we rely on such an old, outdated way to decided our leader

I want my leader to be decided by everyone equally.

 not with the votes being equal with only 270 mysterious unknown people deciding for me.

 

Amber Tears Excerpt - Koi

Genie smiled as she walked around Ole Town. Rosabella had come along with her.

"So where are we walking to now?" Rosabella asked curiously.

"You'll see soon enough." Genie stated as she led the way. Ole Town was compacted enough that you could actually walk to it. Most things were a good five minute drive apart that not having a car wasn't really an option.

Genie smiled as she saw the familiar old wooden gate. She walked into the area. The ground was mainly rock here. Water feel into a small pond. There was a wooden bridge that went over the small pond.

"What is this place?" Rosabella perked up with great interest.

"It's a koi pond. Come look!" Genie led her to the edge of the pond. "See, there's one!" She pointed at a grey koi fish that swam by.

"Why are most of them grey?" Rosabella asked after several minutes of watching the fish in silence.

Genie shrugged. She didn't know at all. "Maybe its the water or something," she theorized.

Rosabella nodded. She looked at her watch. It was almost 7. "I have to get home for dinner."

"Me too," Genie sighed. She wondered if her parents would be arguing when she got home again. Hopefully there would be ravioli in the cabinet. She could get it out of the can in her room and ignore them if they were. "I can drive you home." Genie offered.

"Thanks."

The two began walking back to Genie's car. It was an old car, but it worked. She parked it at the cemetery since it wouldn't be in anyone's way there.

Amber Tears Excerpt -Coin Flip

Rosabella flipped a coin. She took a deep breath. She looked at the coin flat on the table.

It was tails.

Rosabella smiled as she lightly kicked her get under the table.

"What are you flipping coins for?" Allisen mused as she sat down in front of her.

"Oh just a bit of decision making," Rosabella cursed herself for blushing. She wished her hair was down so she could hide it.

"Uh-huh," Allisen nodded. Allisen wore a hijab with a Hawaiian flower print on it. It was a beautiful bright blue color that drew attention to it. She wore a thin long sleeve shirt with a purple donkey on it, a pair of blue jeans, and black tennis shoes. Allisen smiled almost smugly, "Well I hope the answer you get is yes."

"What do you mean?" Rosabella leaned Away from the table. She tapped her fingers on the seat.

"I'm not blind," Allisen teased, "You're going to ask to be an item right?"

"No!" Rosabella yelled too loudly. Her face turned a bright red as she bit her lower lip. "I was just going to ask her to the dance."

Allisen sighed. "You're little outings are cute and all. But it's obvious they're dates. Just behind a couple already."

Rosabella looked down as she rubbed her hands together. "I don't know..."

Allisen leaned in close. Rosabella looked up to find her a mere inch from her face. "What is it going to take for one of you to ask?"

Rosabella gulped. Allisen had no clue what she was asking her to do. Rosabella had never dated before. It scared her. Plus what I'd she ruined her friendship. She lucked out with Genie still wanting to be friends after she found out she was a banshee.

"Hi Genie!" Allisen sat up in a split second.

"Hey!" She waved at them. "What's with the serious air around you two?"

Rosabella gave a nervous laugh as she looked away. She didn't want to look Genie in the eye. She was too anxious.

"Oh that..." Allisen drew out the last word. She stood up rapidly. "Let's go to the library."

the two girls followed her into the library. Or was practically empty. She walked into the section of encyclopedias. No one ever really ventured into this section. She made the two girls sit down. She smiled as she placed a hand under their chins and made them face each other. "Now talk." With that she walked away. Leaving the two alone. Though they knew she wasn't far.

"Talk about what?" Genie arched an eye brow. Was it about a banshee thing? Did Allisem find out that Rosabella was a banshee? So many questions piped into her head.

Rosabella licked her lips before taking a deep breath. She fiddled with her fingers as she stumbled over her words. "I was just... Wondering if... If you wanted... Uh..." Rosabella clenched her teeth as she clapped her hands together. She grabbed ahold of Genie's hand. "Do you want to be an item with me?"

Genie tilted her head. Item? What did that mean? Was it some term banshees used?

Rosabella gasped. "I mean like a pair. You and me with promise rings and hand holding. And maybe in a

Amber Tears Excerpt

Genie rubbed her hands together. It wasn't that cold. It had been raining for days though. But still the temperature was a good 70. That was just the weather in Conyers in April. Lots of rain for days.

The February snow had melted away by March and now the rain was here. Since it was April, Genie knew of a few annual events that Rosabella might enjoy. All that was left was to invite her.

Genie removed her headset to listen to the sounds of the house. There wasn't much. It was quiet, but the faint sound of the door to the room in the hall swaying open. Genie was sure she was just imagining the soft laughter of kids playing. She had been hearing it since she was a kid and decided to ignore it a long time ago.

She picked up her phone and found Rosabella's name in her contact list.

"Hey, there's going to be the Cherry Blossom festival were our school chorus and drama clubs perform. It's not much of a thing, but would you like to go?"

Genie sent her text and waited for a response. She rubbed her hands together as she waited. She wanted this to be a date, but knew better of it. Rosabella was a beautiful girl and probably straight. Genie hadn't really dared to ask. Plus there was also the fact that Rosabella was a banshee.

'Do banshees even date?' Genie thought to herself. She read several books of vampires and werewolves dating mortals. She even read mangas were demons and even fairies had romantic relationships with humans. Though those were just stories, she sort of hoped that they were based on some small truths.

Genie jolted up at the sound of her phone's notification tone. She quickly brought her phone to her face to read the message.

"Sure! It sounds like fun. What day and what time?"

Genie could almost hear her voice on her head as she read her response. She double cheated the date and time on the flyer before texting Rosabella back.

Genie beamed with happiness as she slipped her headset back on. She plugged it into her phone and turned the music on shuffle. She flung her feet over the side of the bed as she walked over to her desk. She poured some water from her water bottle into the old glass jar as she picked up her paint brush. She pulled up a canvas with a pencil sketch on it. She put some pain into the small pallet she'd been given as a gift and began applying paint.

genie

GENIE sat on her bed. She was scribbling in her notebook. It was just random swirls. She sighed.

Just what exactly was wrong with her?

She jumped up at the sound of her alarm. She slammed her hand over the clock. She looked at the time and slipped on her converse. She tied the laces lazily before walking out of her room.

The house was eerily quiet today. It made Genie's hair stand on end. She patted her pocket to make sure her phone was there. She patted the headset that rested on her shoulders. She nodded as she closed the door. She walked as quietly as possible and found no one in the living room. It seemed she was still the only one home. She thought it odd that her parents hadn't come home from work yet, but maybe they were stuck in traffic.

She plucked up the remote off of the black crate her mom used as a coffee table. The tv flicked on and she waited for the tv to actually totem on. She cringed at its volume as she quickly turned it down, slightly wishing they still had that old dial tv. She typed in a number for the cartoon channel. She knew the news and crime documentaries would only make her paranoid about every little sound.

In the kitchen, Genie opened the cabinets. She wasn't sure what all they had. She found cans

Amber Tears - Rosabella's break down

Rosabella locked the door. It was the first time in her life that she picked her door. She had never had too before, but this time she didn't want anyone to come in. She didn't want consoling. She just wanted to be alone with her feelings.

The tears hadn't stopped pouring yet. Most of them were just water, but there were a few balls of amber on the floor. She could feel the snot traveling out of her nose. When she opened her mouth to attempt to put more air in her lungs, she could taste it.

Rosabella rested her head on her bed. For the first time, she allowed herself to scream. The wail that came out shook the lamps. She could barely see from her watery eyes as she pressed the button on the side of the bed. She didn't even wait for the step to come out completely. The moment it was out an inch she stepped on it and hopped onto the bed.

She let out several pained wails. She felt awful. She knew this feeling but didn't know it all the same. She didn't quite understand what it was about the situation that was making her feel like this. She knew this want the end of the world. But Rosabella's emotional side didn't want to listen to her logical side.

Rosabella just wanted to cry and scream. And that's what she did. She laid in a fetal position between her parents pillows. Her body shook as she cried. The lamps and mirrors shook due to her wails.

ROSABELLA's throat was sore. She wondered how long she had cried before passing out. She looked up to find that her bed was full of ambers. She sighed as she brushed the balls away. She looked up and frown. She couldn't see anything in the room. She reach out and tapped the lamp by the bed. The light bulb inside it was still intact.

Rosabella smiled at that. The light bulb was made to withstand the screams of banshees and serines. She was glad her grandmother had gotten access to them for a tree run.

She soon frowned as she looked around the room. All the posters that were hung by nails on the wall were now on the ground. Except one that was now upside down, hanging onto the wall by one nail. All the mirrors were broken too.

She sighed as she carefully took a step off of her bed. She was still wearing her shoes, so she didn't have to worry too much about the debris.

Rosabella was careful as she walked down stairs to grab the broom and dust pan. She was greeted with Darla standing in front of the room all the cleaning supplies were kept in.

Darla stood there with a look of sympathy in her eyes. Rosabella looked away nervously. She felt awkward about the whole thing. Darla simply remained quiet as she grabbed the supplies.

Darla placed her hand on Rosabella's shoulder as they walked upstairs. Together, they cleaned the room in silence.

Amber Tears Excerpt - Meet Allisen

“I’m Rosabella,” She held out her hand, “What’s your name?”
The girl smiled, “Allisen.” Her voice was soft. It was very hard to hear her over the noise of the classroom. Rosabella leaned in to hear her.
“How do you spell that?” Rosabella asked.
“A-L-L-I-S-E-N,” she spelled the name quickly.
“I haven’t seen it spelled that way before. People must misspell your name all the time,” Rosabella mused.
Allisen nodded.
“So let’s play the get to know each other game,” Edcardo announced. “First topic, name a music artist your obsessed with right now. I’ll go first. Blood on the Dance Floor. Genie,” he waved his hand at Genie.
Genie smiled with embarrassment. “Abba.” She gestured to Rosabella.
“Vocaloid,” Rosabella fiddled with a strand of her hair.
“Really?’ Allisen perked up. “Me too. Which one is your favorite?”
“I would have to say Gumi,” Rosabella smiled, “Sorry for being a closet otaku is just so catchy.”

“I know! Personally my favorites are Rin and Len.” Allisen seemed so lively as they spoke about the virtual singers. Rosabella enjoy the conversation. The bell rang too quickly for the group.

random nov 2nd 9:50

I'm having thoughts again. Bad ones. These feelings - I hate them. I have myself for having them. But I don't know how to properly express them.

is it anger? Depression? Sadness?

I just don't know.

I don't know what to do to get myself in the green... to where the flowers are. It's just confusing to me. I've never soul searched before so I'm not sure how to start.

Is it an assignment you've given me or do you want me to stop?

all these things take time and I can't just manage the world. There's only so much I can do. And there's so little time and you want this and that. You'll be lucky if the project even gets finished at this point. Only so long and so many other things to do.

my head is spinning. I don't think I can go on like this. I just want to welcome sleep. Never move again. I'm so close to go with that quote. To embrace it whole heartedly and ignore everything else.

Blind Date Ch1

"I'm not sure about this Rouge." Amy stated as she fiddled with her hair.

"Just relax!" Rouge smiled as she moved Amy's hand away from her hair. "I told you, all you need to do is have fun. Blind dates are fun."

"I fail to see the fun of having to go out with a stranger." Amy began picking at her nails.

All the girls had gotten together and agreed that they should help Amy get over Sonic. Especially since the blue blur began dating Sally again. So for the pass few months, they had set Amy up on several blind dates. None of them worked out well. Especially to Amy, but her friends were trying. Today was Rouge's turn to arrange Amy's date. It was on a Thursday which the other girls thought were odd but Rouge said it was the only day the guy was free.

Amy sat on a bench. Rouge sat beside her as they waited for Amy's date to arrive. Amy was nervous. Rouge had dressed her in a tight dress that showed off her figure. Her hair was done up and she wore light make up. Amy was told this date would be dinner and movie. Since Halloween was just around the corner, she was sure it would be a horror movie.

"There you are Rouge," Shadow greeted as he slowed his run to a slow confident walk.

"What's up Shadow?" Rouge smirked. "Finally come to ask me out on a date?" She laughed knowing it would annoy the ebony hedgehog.

"No," he shook his head, "Thomas can't make that blind date you set him up on. Something about a home run with a barista from Starbucks?"

Amy turned bright red. She knew very well what that meant. She glared at Rouge. She couldn't be mad at Shadow. He had no clue what it meant. But Rouge should have noticed the kind of guy she almost set Amy on a date with.

Rouge hissed with annoyance. "Great now who is supposed to take Amy out tonight? Thomas said he wanted a date, I can't believe he flaked for some girl he's not going to call tomorrow." The bday continued to grumble as she pulled out he phone. She was looking for a replacement.

Shadow looked at Amy Rose. He hadn't noticed she was there. He clenched his first. Had he really said that a guy was getting a home run in front of her? He felt ashamed. The phrase felt dirty and wrong coming out of his mouth. It felt worse knowing he has said it in front of Amy. She was too innocent a girl have such things said in her presence.

He took notice of the nice clothes she was wearing as she look at Rouge with a tired look. Rouge was still trying to find a replacement date for Amy.

Shadow cringed. If Thomas was the one Rouge had gotten, then Shadow was afraid who she would get as a last minute resort. Shadow swallowed his pride. He was more concerned about Rose and if something bad were to happen to her.

"Thomas sent me to take his place," Shadow stated in his normal monotone. "He said it would be a good..." He paused as he thought of the phrase Thomas always used, "Socialization exercise for me."

Rouge stared at Shadow. She didn't like the idea of sending Shadow on a date with Amy. She was trying to help her find a boyfriend. Not hang out with friends. "Why?"

"He told me if I did this he would lay of the nagging about Socialization exercises." Shadow shrugged. He was currently lying through his teeth. But Rouge couldn't tell. Thomas had told him to tell Rouge to call Derek.

"The girl doesn't look like she'll put out. Plus she's probably bad at it," Thomas said over the phone. "Tell Rouge to see if Derek wants to go on a date with her. At the very least, she might learn how to kiss."

Shadow found Thomas annoying for his way of talking about women, but Shadow didn't care enough to put Thomas through the ringer. Now that he knew that he had been talking about Rose. He really wanted to put him through the ringer.

"I don't know..." Rouge seemed to contemplate the idea. "This is suppose to help Amy find a boyfriend. Not improve your social skills."

"But Rose already looks bored." Shadow pointed out the annoyed look on Amy's face. "And aren't you always saying that it's a waste to not have a good time when dressed nice?"

Shadow had Rouge there. She sighed. "This turned into a disaster." She muttered before turning to Amy. "I'm so sorry about this. But Do you mind doing a... Socialization exercise with Shadow instead of a date?"

Amy shrugged. "I don't mind." She smiled. She didn't want to go on a stupid date tonight anyway. Just hanging out with Shadow would be nice.

"Ok. Shadow take Amy to get dinner then." Rouge began to fly. "I'm so sorry today flopped Amy," she gave the pink hedgehog a hug before flying off.

Amy and Shadow stood in silence for a while as the bat flew off.

"So..." Amy hummed after a long interval. "What would you like for dinner?"

Shadow thought for a moment. "There's a nice Mexican restaurant nearby. It's not the fanciest place, but the food is good."

"That sounds fine by me." Amy smiled. "Lead the way," she waved her hand in a silly gesture.

The two talked on the short walk. It wasn't anything new. They talked about current interest. Shadow was fascinated by art, so Amy stuck to talking about artists.

"So what did you think of the dada art style?" Amy mused.

Shadow rolled his eyes. He had went to the art museum to see their new exhibit. It was on dada art. "How is flipping a toilet on its side art?"

Amy laughed. "I had a feeling you might say that."

"What about you? Are you a fan?" Shadow crossed his arms.

"Not really." Amy shook her head. "But it is funny."

Shadow nodded as he took a bite of his food. "So aside from art, what have you been up to Rose?"

Amy smiled at the Nick name. It never got old. "I've been baking a bunch. I recently got down this chocolate strawberry cake recipe down. Tails was a very good sport about taste testing them."

"Invite me next time you need a taste taster. I wouldn't mind eating sweets all day," Shadow smirked.

Amy laughed. "Because your body won't feel any ill effects from all that junk food?"

"No." Shadow retorted. "Because I really like junk food."

Amy clutched her stomach so hard from laughter. "Then I'll be sure to invite you then."

The sound of someone puking filled the small house. The twins on the couch perked up at the sound. They had come to visit their aunt in Mercia.

The boy nudged his sister. She pouted as she held her hand out for him, wanting him to come with her. He shook his head. He wasn't about to walk into the bathroom while his aunt was in there. It would be rude.

She sighed as she pushed her red hair out of her face. She knocked softly on the bathroom door. "Aunt Amy!" She called, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Amy lied. "I just have caught a stomach virus." She opened the door. She smiled at the young chipmunk. "No need to worry."

"Does she need a doctor?" Manic call from the couch.

"No," Amy waved her hands in front of her.

"Yeah, I think she should see one just in case." Sonia cut her off.

Amy sighed. She knew there was no arguing with these two kids. "Where's Ian?" She asked.

"He went to the store." Manic stated as he pulled out the phone book from the bottom of the book shelf. He could barely pick up the heavy book, so he curled up as he dragged it along the floor. He placed the book on table and flipped it opened.

"Isn't that phone book too old to have the doctor's number?" Sonia asked as she poked the book. "It's so dusty!"

"Well, how else are we supposed to find a doctor for Amy. We can't drag her all over Mercia looking for one. It'll only make her health worse. Ian said that a doctor does house calls here. So the best place to find one who does house calls is in a phone book. Right Aunt Amy?" Manic looked up at her. He felt so smart.

"That is good thinking," Amy rustled his hair. "But the number for my doctor isn't in that book. It's in a different book.

"Really? Which one?" The two spoke in unison.

Amy chuckled. "Let's play a game. Find the book with the doctor's number in it and I'll call him over to look at me. You have until Ian gets back. Good luck." Amy sat on the couch as she watched the children race to the book shelf.

The game kept the twins entertained for 30 minutes. They stopped dead in their tracks the moment the door opened. Ian came in holding a large reusable green bag.

"Ah!" Sonia kicked the ground. Manic sniffled.

"What's going on?" Ian asked as he set the bag on the table. "Do you two not like me anymore?"

"No." The two shook their heads. They quickly explained their game with Amy.

Ian sighed. He pulled out a box from the bag and placed it into her hands. "This is for you my lady."

Amy stared at the box.

"Go take the test and come back." Ian ordered.

Amy sighed as she got up. "It's just a stomach virus." She said as she walked to the bathroom.

Ian had the twins help him make snacks while Amy was busy

Amy felt her breath caught in her throat. The hand that held hers felt surreal. The lips that pressed against her hand was what Amy felt herself staring at.

The breath from his mouth as he drew back and smiled up at her. His green eyes sparkling. "Welcome my lady." His voice was soothing with a slight accent. "I hope you had safe travels here."

Amy could only nod numbly.

He simply smiled at her.

Sonic coughed as he gently tugged Amy away from him. "Who are you exactly?"

"I am Ian St. John the Second. The date is," he rattled off a date. "And you are from the past." He smiled as he waved his hand over the small group.

"So you're Geoffrey's boy?" Antoine asked for clarity.

"Yes Sir Antoine." He bowed. "How about some tea while we await Sir Tails's arrival. He's sure to know how to get you back to your proper time."

Sonic nodded. "Any chili dogs with that tea?"

"Of course." Ian nodded. "Are there any other snacks you would like?" He looked at everyone. No one had a comment. "Then follow me."

THEY sat in a large living room. Sonic sat next to Sally and Tails on the couch. Antoine, Bunnie, and Silver sat on a love seat. Shadow sat in a recliner while Amy sat in a rocking chair.

"How do you like your tea?" Ian asked as he began preparing a cup. He held it up to Amy after swirling in a spoonful of honey.

"For you my lady," Ian smiled as Amy took the cup.

Sonic crossed his arms. What was it with St. Johns and being a lady's man? "How do you know how Amy likes her tea?" He asked a bit harshly. Sally elbowed Sonic.

"What he means is you seem to be quite familiar with Amy. Did she baby sit you when you are little?" Sally asked politely.

Sonic could only glare slightly. He was either jealous or in big overprotective brother mood.

"Oh," Ian nodded. "I forgot my familiarity must have come off as rude. I'm sorry. It's just that I work in Mercia during the summer. I often help my lady with tasks she needs doing."

"So you basically Amy's servant?" Antoine mused.

"Yes." Ian nodded. "It is a great honor."

Amy smiled. "So that explains why you're so formal with me." She hummed. She felt tingly from the way he kissed her hand earlier. It was weird. "You don't have to be so formal with now. Ok?"

Ian thought about it as he served up the tea. He was a good kid. He was very polite and well mannered. Sonic was the only one who didn't seem to completely trust him.

KNOCK! Knock!

"Coming!" Ian called. "That must be Sir Tails." He opened the door, "Hello.... Oh no..." He frowned as he closed the door as much as he could for the group inside. "What is it that I can do for you two?"

"Ian!" Came a chorus of voices. "It's awful! You have to talk to her majesty!" Two children bursts into the house. Tears were in their eyes.

"Please Ian!" The boy cried as he clung to Ian's neck.

"Manic!" He gasped.

"Are those cookies?" The young blue Hedgehog stopped crying instantly as he ran into the living room with the group.

"It's a tiny faker." Shadow mumbled.

"What are you doing here Mr. Shadow?" Manic hummed. "Are you taking a break?"

"That Shadow is from the past. They all are. Sir Tails is to arrive to help them return to their proper time."

"Okay Ian!" Manic saluted.

Sonic smiled at the boy. A young female chipmunk came in slowly with Ian. Her eyes were still puffy from crying.

"So what do you guys need help with?" Sonic asked curiously. It was obvious to everyone whose kids they were.

"Oh yeah!" Manic clapped his hands together as if he just remembered. He spun on his heel to look at Ian. "You need to talk to Lady Amy!" He pouted.

"For what purpose?" Ian seemed tired. Like he already knew but didn't want to bother with it.

"She's refusing to marry." Sonia cried as she pulled on Ian's leg. "Grandpa said Amy needs to marry soon. But Amy won't. She's refusing. Everyone's worried. Please talk to Amy. Tell her to marry."

Ian sighed. This was going to be a long day. He sat like an Indian on the floor. He pulled Sonia into his lap. "Listen, would you want to marry a stranger you don't love?" He asked.

"No." Sonia looked down.

"You prince Manic?" Ian looked at the boy with stern eyes. Manic shook his head. "Then why are you trying to force her into such a thing?"

"But Grandpa said..." Manic began to whine.

"With all do respect to your grandpa, but he is not always right. The man has his head stuck too far into the old ways. Lady Rose is not the head of Mercia's government. She needn't marry to produce an heir. If she does not wish to marry yet then we should respect her decision."

"Ok." The two hummed.

A thought occurred to Sonia. She tugged on Ian's arm.

"Yes?" Ian smiled at her.

"Have you been helping Amy turn away her suitors?" She asked.

Wanda

There was blood on the floor. Specks of blood were on the wall. She could only hum. She sat in the corner humming. She picked at her nails, slowly removing the dried blood from underneath them.

Her cat eyes looked up at the sound by the door. She licked her lips in anticipation.

The door opened and before her stood Bronko. The light barely caught his orange and brown hair. His face was in shadows, so she couldn't see his normally bright turquoise eyes. But she recognized his silhouette anywhere. He was after all the only person that she knew beside herself that was part cat.

"What have you done Wanda?" He was curt with her.

Wanda smiled. "I got antsy." She down at her nails before looking up with a coy smile. "So I decided to relieve some stress." She stood up carefully. She couldn't see his expression. She couldn't tell if he was mad at her or not.

He sighed, placing his hands on his hips. There was nothing he could do about it now. He turned to leave, waving his hand for her to follow.

"Let's get out of here before the cops show up." He stated.

Wanda followed him closely. A smile on her face.

poem

Is college worth it?

All my life I was told it you wanted to succeed

college of what you need

well here I am, 3 years in, and the realization is bold

but college wasn't needed

I know of too many people who are famous because they just created what they wanted

they taught themselves like I had before

but I decided to come here

I could have learned all of this at home on my own

I'm even teaching myself a new program

because the teacher told me I needed to learn it

but instead of teaching it to me,

he sent me to watch tutorials

a thing I could do without college.

it's so infuriating

if I'm ever asked about college,

I'll be blunt and cold

you can learn it all from the internet and never have to pay a fee

you can share your work for all the world to see

you don't need a fancy college degree

all it is a debt you'll forever see

I often gage nightmares that I'll die in debt because of this decision

but I'm already three years in and dammit I'll take that paper

I'm already going to be in debt anyway right?

 

 

poem

Grey eyes stare out

tired yet restless

I'm so annoyed

all you did was have me watch tutorial videos

a thing I could easily do at home

why did I even come to college?

it just feels like a waste of my time

the words I want to scream aren't right

but I have a lot and then some

to yell, to write, put it in a verse

nothing will rhyme anyway.

oh my headache

I hope I'll you never again.

I just want to get my degree and leave

Weather Girl notes

Weather Girls Notes

Sunny - bright personality. Pony tail on the side of her head. Her colors are yellow and orange. Red highlights can be added. Her powers come from the Helios locket. Uses bow & arrow. Voiced by Dymond

Storm - modeled after Isha (name may not be spelled right) powers come from the Lux Bracelet. Powers are lighting base. Colors are purple and grey. The serious chara. Voiced by Krissie Gault.

Cloud - lazy, but bubbly. Girl is made of curves. Loves to lye in grass. Colors are blue and white. Nubila Ring is how she transforms. The most childish of the group.

Rain - elegant. Uses umbrella that transforms into sword/gun. Colors are indigo and dark blue. Inber Umbrella is the name of her device. Has long wavy hair.

Benjie - rainbow butterfly, partnered with Sunny. He gives out the info and is a male.

Shou - gecko/chameleon partnered with Storm. She is a female.

Tyus - cat partnered with Cloud. He is also a male.

Erin - bird partnered with Rain. She is a female. Bird type not chosen yet.

Names of items that transform them come from Latin.

The series will either be a comic book or animated shorts. If animated shorts, episode lengths should be between 3-5 minutes long. Try to make release dates reasonable. Best to use limited animation/animatic style like the Flintstones did.

NOTE: I am the only animator. do not kill yourself.

Voice Actors are friends and relatives. None are being paid. Unless food counts. So far it is just Dymond and me. I don't want to drag anyone else into this until I have more concrete things.

Pilot will be posted October 6th 2016.

I have two episodes written. Rough storyboards penciled for episode 1 are already scanned. Finish this before starting episode 2. Try to add in lip syncs if nothing else. Also work on transformation sequences.

Create turn around for all characters. I only have Sunny's and I think Storm's done. Action pose sheets and expression sheets also need to be made. All can be a part of my portfolio.

[][][][][

Xiong Mao glared out on the distance. The knife was secure in his shoe. A gun was tucked into his belt. He was more than ready for this.

The three men were walking down the street. They were large walls of muscles and probably carrying tons of drugs.

Xiong Mao didn't care about their work or their size. He only had one target. The one on the left. He was the fattest of the three men, but he was athletic and could hold his own in a fight. The white man was also covered in tattoos.

Xiong Mao smirked at seeing 'Butt Sex' in Chinese tattooed on his neck. Xiong Mao would be sure to leave that in tack.

He pulled the knife out of the sneaker. It made a click as he watched the three men walk into the alley. The moment they were within distance, he threw the knife and it cut into the target's arm.

The man yelled in pain as he was pulled down. A string on the knife was pulling him. The three men jumped to his aid. One pulling out the knife as the other pulled out a gun.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" The man with the gun screamed.

Xiong Mao jumped down from his perch on the fire escape. "He is my target. Stand down and don't interfere."

Xiong Mao was thankful for the Japanese festival mask that covered his face. He didn't need to worry about them coming to get him in retaliation.

A few shots rang in the alley. Xiong Mao dodged them like an epic cartoon character. He hissed as he heard people in the nearby buildings scurrying. He was now short on time. The police would be here soon.

Xiong Mao hit the man who charged at him. He counted himself lucky as he was able to dislocate the man's arm with that hit. A quick swoop with his foot to the man's knees took him out. Now all he had to do was get passed big guy number 2.

Big Guy 2 was already charging at him. Xiong Mao held the mask to his face as he did a flip over the man. His landing twisted his ankle, but there was enough adrenaline rushing through him that he

Amber Tears excerpt

Genie could only hold her ears. That sound was giving her the worst headache. She couldn't exactly identify it. All she could tell was that it sounded like several birds and a woman screaming. She glared at the group of kids running away.

They were the ones who brought her. The ones all excited about a spreading rumor about some unknown creature in these woods.

Most of Conyers was woods. Or at least the part Genie lived in. But many of these kids lived in the newly developed areas. They didn't know the woods all that well, so Genie was sure they were making things up. But this, this was not what Genie was expecting to find. She gritted her teeth as she tried to make out Rosabella's footsteps in the leaves on the ground.

The young Brit wasn't used to Georgia yet. Just because the weather was warm now, didn't mean it would last. It was going to drop to shivers tonight. And it would only be worse.

Caught A Lip Lock (A random fanfic)

Tails blinked several times as his brain tried to comprehend what he had just witnessed. He had obviously come in at a bad time.

He had come into his uncle's place to borrow a book to read. It was a nice peaceful day and Tails wanted to spend his time reading.

Instead he caught his uncle in a deep lip lock in his study. Tails quickly ducked out of the door way and had his back pressed tightly to the wall.

All Tails wanted was a book. Not to interfere or become knowledgeable about his uncle's love life.

"It's been a while." Merlin chuckled. "You must have been really lonely."

"Terribly lonely," the other person spoke. "However, I think I can live with a kiss or two."

Tails cringed as he heard them exchange more kisses.

"Now, now, control." Merlin said, "If Amadeus finds out about this,"

"It'll be trouble." The other person finished. "I know. I know. We can't afford to be caught."

"So why don't we play a board game or cards? And then I can come over to your place and we can play all we want." Merlin suggested.

"Bring that sound proofing spell with you," the person laughed.

Merlin laughed. "Of course!"

The two walked out of the room. "So what card game would you..." Merlin paused as he spotted Tails. "Tails! How long have you been there?"

Tails stared at him with big eyes. "I... Uh... Can I borrow a book?"

Merlin nodded.

Tails dashed into the study and grabbed three books. He dashed to the door way but paused and turned back. "I saw nothing, but um... You should use protection. Being safe is important. Anyway, I love you by." Tails dashed away with great speed.

Hime-San

"Hime-San?" The soft voice broke the raven haired man's thoughts.

He turned to see his best friend standing there. Her hair was a soft pink color. He smiled at her, "Yes Sandia?"

She walked up to him and smiled. "You're uncle has made a full recovery. He'll be getting out of the hospital in a few days. Shall we go visit him?"

Hime thought for a moment as he smiled. "I think that would be a great thing to do. Plus, I can give him a gift for his anniversary."

 

A Shadow Oneshot Fanfic

Shadow the Hedgehog was confused. He stood in the kitchen of a nice comfy home. For a moment he thought he was dreaming. It seemed too good to be true. He had to be dreaming.

In the kitchen stood a white bat. Her hair was messy and she was dressed in pajamas and big slippers that had cat heads on them. She was currently making coffee.

"Morning there sleeping beauty." She smiled at him. "Did you sleep well last night?"

Shadow merely stared at her a moment. Who was she? He had no memory of her. Or this place. He nodded out of politeness.

"Well what do you want for breakfast?" She asked.

Shadow looked around the kitchen. Most of the cabinets were closed. He couldn't tell what she had. He was hungry though. He knew that much.

"Shadow?" She spoke softly. "You don't recognize anything right now, do you?"

"Shadow nodded.

She bit her lip. "I'm your friend, Rouge. We're roommates. We also work together as a team for the government. Don't worry about not remembering. It sometimes happens where you wake up. Give it a few minutes and your memory will be back in a jiffy." She patted his shoulder as she opened the cabinets. "We've got cereal, pop tarts, oatmeal," she closed the cabinet and turned to the fridge. "Eggs, waffles, yogurt, and hamburger meat," she turned back to Shadow. "Does any of that sound good to you?"

"I'll take the yogurt for now." Shadow stated as he looked around the place. How often did he wake up with no memories? He hoped it wasn't too often. He took a few bites of the yogurt and glared at it. "This is that stuff Rose buys. What is her obsession with blueberries? He grumbled, his memories kicking in.

Rouge could only laugh in response as she poured herself a cup of coffee.

A Shadow Fanfic

KRISSIE: So I saw this sketch of Celepom on Tumblr. And I can't spell her name, so sorry. But her name on other social media I believe is SallyVinter. So here is a skit inspired by one of her sketches.

[][][]^][

Shadow tapped his fingers nervously on the table. In front of him was a list. It had that old yellowed paper smell. The font was a classic typewriter font. The F was slightly elevated on the documents which told Shadow that that key had been replaced. But so had the 5 too.

Shadow took a deep breath as he ran his eyes over the list. Donors. They were called donors.

The small lap top was right there. He had typed each name carefully. Read each obituary with interest.

He licked his lips as he typed in the next name. Each letter made a click. It was the loudest thing in Shadow's apartment at that moment. His pet Chao were asleep on the sofa.

It took several long moments, but the name finally formed and Shadow pressed enter. He glanced up expecting another obituary, but that was not the case. There was the man's name. His address.

He was alive. Old and probably knocking on death's door soon, but he was alive. Shadow closed the dusty folder. He carefully put it in a kitchen drawer. He took one last look at the address, committing it to memory. He closed the laptop shut before zipping out of the house.

 

A MINUTE LATER, Shadow stood in front of an apartment building. He stood frozen a moment as he lifted his hand to knock on the door. He gave it a little tap. It was so soft.

Shadow should have knocked harder. After all, the man was in his 70s by now. He had to have lost most of his hearing abilities. Shadow briefly considered brushing up on his sign language.

The door opened in the middle of Shadow's storming mind. A male hedgehog stood there. His was missing one eye. The one that was still there was a chocolate brown. His black hair had dulled into a dark grey. There was a string of dog tags around his neck. He used a hunting rifle as a cane. He carried the air of a retired soldier and looked like it too.

"What do ya want?" The man spat.

Shadow opened his mouth and it felt dry. "A-a-are," Shadow crossed his arms in a way to make himself seem more in control. "Are you Alfred Altros?"

"Depends," the man crossed his arms as well. "Whose's asking?"

The two stood there in a staring match.

What was Shadow expecting? How was he going to answer that?

 Hello, I found your name on a list of donors who helped lead to my creation! I just wanted to visit since you're the first one I found that wasn't dead.

Yeah... Shadow wasn't about to say that.

The man leaned closer and shook his head. "You have a baby face."

Shadow opened his mouth but the man grabbed him by the arm and dragged him inside the apartment.

"So how did you find the donor paperwork?" Alfred asked as he sat Shadow down into a wooden kitchen chair.

"I found it while exploring the ark." Shadow replied.

Alfred nodded as he sat down. "It still look like shit?"

Shadow nodded.

"Well you can't expect much after the troops march through. Reba always complained about dirty soldier boots." He added air quotes with an annoyed expression. "I heard that way too many times."

Shadow nodded. "So, you know who I am?"

"You're Shadow. I donated some of my DNA to make you." Alfred waved his hand. "You're also baby faced still. I told Gerald to make sure it didn't stay that way."

Shadow glared. He didn't think he had a baby face.

Alfred arched a brow. "Trust me kid, you have a baby face."

Shadow crossed his arms and glared more.

"Be pouty all you want. You're face isn't going to change." Alfred tapped his fingers on the table for a few moments. "So what brings you by?"

Shadow let his arms fall. Why had he come? They didn't exactly know each other. So why had Shadow come? To see someone who had had a hand in his creation? To maybe get to know him better? Shadow wasn't sure. Why had he come?

"Curious." Shadow finally answered. "I was curious."

Alfred cracked a smirked. "I'm flattered. What would you like to know about me?"

Shadow thought for a moment. What did he want to know about Alfred? He wasn't sure.

Alfred stared at Shadow. He wasn't the most patient man in the world. "Come with me. I want to show you something."

Shadow followed him out of the apartment. Alfred opened a garage and inside stood a vintage classic car.

"This is my car. It doesn't move as fast as most do and it definitely can't keep up with you. But it's a nice classic. What do you think?"

Shadow walked around it in silence. "How do you keep it in such good condition?"

"A lot of TLC." Alfred beamed with pride.

Shadow looked up at him. TLC? What did that mean? He was sure he had heard that before. No. He was thinking of that song PYT that was Amy's mp3 player.

"I've got a few other classic cars in a garage in a big garage in some rural town." Alfred stated. "If you, i can leave them to you."

"Shouldn't your children have them?" Shadow looked up from the car.

Alfred burst into laughter. "You're the only runt I've got." He placed his hand on Shadow's shoulder. "My brothers died in wars. And i ain't got sisters. Mom and pa bit the dust ages ago. You're the only family I got. So do you want them or not?"

Shadow thought for a moment. He did like cars. But he wasn't sure how to take care for so many old cars. Well, he could always learn. "If you show me how to properly maintain them, I think i might."

"It's a deal then." Alfred nodded. "Oh, but there is one you're not getting. I'm leaving that to an old friend's runt."

"Were they on the Ark too?" Shadow asked.

"My friend was. He were a doctor. In fact, he had me make you and Maria bikes so you can ride those around the halls. All the higher ups were pissed. Gerald, however, said it was a fun Christmas. You were still small then, so you might not remember. It was then that I told Gerald he needed to do something about that baby face of yours."

Shadow thought back on that. He didn't remember riding a bike. But he had the vague memory of seeing a red and yellow tricycle. "I don't remember."

"That's fine." Alfred waved his hand.

Shadow groaned as his phone went off. It made this annoying ringing sound that got on his nerves and he had no clue how to change it. "Pardon me," he walked to a corner and answered it. "Hello?"

"Hey Shadow," came the all to familiar voice, "It's Amy. Your landlord called me. Your Chao are really upset and they're making a big fuss. Where are you?"

Shadow slapped himself in the face. "I completely forgot about Gerald and Maurice. Please tell me they didn't get into anything. Or hurt."

"No. They're fine it seems. I'm in your apartment with them. I think they're just upset that that woke up alone." Amy replied. "Where's they're food. I'll feed them dinner for you."

 "No, I'll come home and feed them. I promised them I'd make them dinner." Shadow stated. "I'll be home in a few. Can you stay with them until I get there?"

"See you soon." Amy said before hanging up.

Shadow looked up at Alfred. "I have to go. My Chao are being... Well Chao."

"You have Chao?" Alfred seemed curious. "Can I come by and see them?"

"You want to have dinner with us?" Shadow offered.

"I'd like that. I want to see the Chao you've raised." Alfred smirked. "They sound spoiled if you have to be called home so soon."

SHADOW WALKED into his apartment. Alfred followed closely behind him.

"Did you have a mission?" Amy's voice called from the laundry room.

"No. I found some paperwork with a list of donors who assisted in my creation. I found alive. He's having dinner with us." Shadow replied back as he walked into the kitchen.

"Where are the little buggers?" Alfred mused. He didn't see them in the living room and they weren't in the kitchen.

"They adore Rose," Shadow pointed out of the room with his thumb as he opened the freezer. "I mean next to nothing while she's here."

Alfred nodded.

There was a sudden rush of air as two Chao flew into the room. The tackled each of Shadow's arms. A Shadow Chao was on the left and a Sonic Chao on the right.

"This is Gerald." Shadow lifted his left arm. "This is Maurice." He lifted the other hand. "We're having hot pockets for dinner. You cool with that?" He glanced at Alfred as he stuck a plate of hot pockets in the microwave.

 "I'll give them a try." Alfred stated.

"You're having hot pockets for dinner? And you're feeding them to the Chao?" Amy walked into the kitchen. She stood right beside Shadow and gave him a questioning look.

"Yes," came the simple reply.

Amy sighed. She gave up. "No wonder they're so spoiled." Her eye caught Alfred. "He looks like my dad's friend Alfred."

"I am." Alfred rolled his eyes. "Last I heard you were all excited for a date with Sonic. How'd that go?"

Amy bite her cheek.

"Faker stood her up." Shadow stated. "As he normally does. Are you eating with us?" He turned to Amy.

"Sure." Amy sat at the table. "So you're one of Shadow's donors?"

Alfred nodded.

"How do you know Rose's father?" Shadow asked as he sat the Chao down into chairs.

"Remember that doctor I told you about with the bikes?" Alfred smiled. Shadow nodded. "That guy is this rascal's grandpa. When we got stationed back planet side he hooked up with a hot nurse in Mercia."

"Hey!" Amy yelled in protest.

"I'm not taking it back. Your grandma was a good 8 when she was young. I tried to date her. Obviously I got no where. But she was hot all the same. Be proud of that fact." Alfred stated.

Amy made a yuck face. "I'd rather not." Amy perked up as she thought of something. "Did you ever get to meet Shadow when he was on the Ark? Do you have any stories about him? Specifically embarrassing ones!"

Shadow groaned. "Rose, please."

"What? Everyone has embarrassing childhood moments. I want to know about yours."

"How did you get into his apartment?" Alfred mused. "You didn't use any of those pick locking tricks, did you? Cause that's illegal."

Shadow snorted. "Rose has a key. She takes care of my place and the Chao when I have over night missions."

"The Chao get noisy when they wake up and no one is here. So the landlord called me." Amy smiled. "By the way, I put away your laundry for you."

"Thank you Rose." Shadow nodded.

Alfred nodded. Then he looked at Shadow. "You lucky shit. You got a personal housekeeper and you didn't have to sell your soul." He turned to Amy. "Are you aware you're being used?"

Amy rolled her eyes. "Yes sir. You tell me every time I visit my family. I chose to blame the one who taught me to make a cup of coffee at the phrase Where's Joe."

"Well, what else was I suppose to do?" Alfred shrugged. "I did the same to your dad too. He grew wise about it and decided to smart off at me."

"Which is why Daddy's finger bends the wrong way." Amy laughed.

Shadow stared at Alfred in surprise as he put the plates of hot pockets in front of people. "You broke his finger?"

"No. I got up to get him and he ran. Caught is finger in the car door. Never could get it fixed." Alfred shook his head. "You never did that." He pointed at Shadow. "You accidentally broke one of Maria's dolls once. You tried to fix it without telling anyone. And when you couldn't fix it, you wrote an apology note and said you were running away."

"Shadow did that?" Amy seemed to coo. She thought it was cute.

"Yeah. We shut down the whole Ark so he couldn't take a spaceship out. It took hours to find you." He looked at Shadow with a smile. "We finally found you hiding in a closet trying to dress up like one of the doctors. You tried to lie me about who you were. I knew it was you, but I played along."

"Which doctor was I trying to be?" Shadow mused.

"Doctor Alexander Rose. Amy's grandpa." He pointed at the pink hedgehog. "You probably don't remember him. But do you remember beef jerky and slim Jims?"

"It's one of his snacks." Amy sighed. "I wish you would get better." She glared at the black hedgehog.

Shadow shrugged. "I eat them for lunch on missions normally. They're portable and don't go bad."

Alfred nodded. "Yeah that makes sense. You dressed up as Alexander because he would give you slim Jims or jerky if you behaved during tests. Or whenever he saw you. A lot of the higher ups told him not to. Gerald wasn't sure about it either. But Alexander never really listened. There were a few moments where you threw tantrums and we all just sat there and watched. I sent someone to get me popcorn! Alexander gave you a piece of jerky and you were instantly fine. Now that's something I wish I had on camera."

"I threw tantrums?" Shadow mused.

"Rarely. But yeah. I enjoyed everyone of them." Alfred took a bite of his food. "They mainly happened if Maria was too sick and you wanted to play. I remember we all got stuck helping you put on a puppet show."

"Puppet show?" Amy and Shadow tilted their heads.

"Yep. Reba, another doctor there, told you that Maria was too sick to play and you asked what you could do to make her feel better and Reba absent mindedly mentioned a puppet show and you got all the soldiers who didn't have anything better to do to help you. Gerald sat right next to you teaching you how to use the glue gun. Then I brought out some glitter. You should have seen the look on Gerald face. It was pure horror. He purposely made sure I was convently busy anytime you and Maria were doing an art project."

Shadow laughed. "I don't remember that. But I understand Gerald's reasoning. Did you ever do that with Rose?" He pointed at Amy.

"Nah. For some reason Amy never liked coloring as a kid. With Amy, it was cooking and surfing."

"Surfing?" Shadow repeated.

"Yeah.. The rascal took to water naturally. She stole my surf board first chance she got. So I taught her how. Then she started practicing on her folks' ironing board. I've got lots on her really. And her folks have the proof somewhere."

"My defense is that I was young and didn't know better." Amy stated.

poem

The edge was where I had been

there were tears left uncried

my body and spirit weak

it still is...

a broken cord, frayed by all the tugging

the broken doll

no wonder all the stories were so sad

we project.

i interjected myself into the plot

my life...

i wanted it to end.

for how long?

i can't say.

i wanted the bullies to go away.

the pain to stop.

the loneliness to leave

replace it with something else

i don't know what.

the sun sets differently now

the world's so vast and large still

yet where did this feeling come from

stay for who?

i was a lost child.

you could throw me away

and i would be fine with that

yet where did these feelings come from?

trudging through was a chore.

knifes would hurt.

i don't like pain.

i don't want anymore pain.

fire would hurt too.

water.

where to find it deep enough?

how to get there?

how long would it take?

i thought plans.

i made routes.

but alas, i chose to trudge through.

too troublesome to drown

how long would it take to me?

I don't want them looking long.

not when I'm in my ideal place.

they can have the flesh.

I won't be inside

a better, more idealistic place

that's where I'll be.

poem

"Do you have a passion for this anymore?"

"I hate to see you waste your money."

but I'm trudging forward none the less.

I will succeed in having the paper that says I finished.

it's just it seems what I have to say isn't reaching you right

I am the type to always have a project

there they are, stacked up on the tables

so many projects to create

I feel like in don't belong now.

things I had previously been told seem to be wrong

I just want to create what I want

but there seem to be so many things

so many little hoops to jump through

I'm just standing on the mat

I don't regret my choices.

I can't change the past

but I'm sick and tired

of being told to hold off

maybe something else when there's already so much piled up

First Lemon Fanfic Ch2

KRISSIE: This is a continuation of my First Lemon Fanfic. Just a heads up before you read. This of NSFW.

[][][][{

Sonic the Hedgehog felt that something was off in Tails' home when he entered. He dropped the bag of tacos he got from a few countries away on the kitchen table.

"Hey Tails!" He called loudly as he zipped through the fox's lab. Tails wasn't there, however. Sonic found himself calling for his little brother as he zipped back through the house. Tails wasn't asleep in his room.

Sonic face was smacked with a door. It was the door to the guest room. It closed a moment later and tired blue eyes stared at Sonic. "Tails!" Sonic hopped up with a smile then froze. Tails had a hickey on his neck and several scratches from nails on his arms. And even a nasty impression of nails on his knee. "Why are you naked?"

"Uh..." Tails avoided eye contact. "Is it a crime to be naked in my own house?"

Sonic arched an eyebrow. The gears in his head were working and dots were connecting. "We're both grown. You don't have to his the fact you had sex from me." Sonic shook his head.

Tails coughed loudly as he sputtered before regaining composure. "I know. It's just that... Listen she's still asleep," Tails pointed at the closed door. "So um... Would you..."

Sonic held up a hand. "I got ya. I'll see you for a late lunch." Sonic began to leave.

"Thank you," Tails sighed.

"Oh Tails," Sonic turned back with a teasing able.

"Yes?"

"This is the first girl to stay even with whatever horrible pun you said. I say that is a keeper." The blue blur winked. Tails turned a bright cherry red. "Also there are tacos on the table." And with that, he zipped out and locked the front door behind him.

Tails took a deep breath to calm his flushed face. He went to the bathroom to pee like he had originally planned before returning to bed.

He smiled as he found Amy there. Her pink quills were everywhere, but Tails liked that. He crawled into the bed and hugged her to him.

"Where'd you go?" Amy spoke in a half awake tone.

"Bathroom." Tails answered as he played with her hair. "Did I wake you?"

Amy shook her head into his chest. "I heard Sonic looking for you. You should go talk to him."

"I met him in the hall. He brought tacos. They're on the kitchen table." Tails wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer.

Amy nodded in understanding. She gave a small yawn as she went back to sleep.

Tails found himself playing with Amy's hair. It was peaceful and he found himself lulling back to sleep. He grabbed the blanket and drew it over them. He was glad it was thin and cool to the touch.

He wasn't sure how long he had been asleep, but it didn't last long as a loud knocking began at the bedroom door.

"Tails!" Sonic's voiced called.

Tails growled as he got up. He was having a good dream. His blue eyes met wide green ones. Amy was awake and sober it seemed. She looked like she wanted to bolt that moment. Tails didn't blame her. How was he supposed to explain to his big bro that he slept with someone Sonic treated like his baby sister? Tails didn't like the idea of a lecture.

"Just stay put," Tails whispered as he tossed the blanket of her head. He pulled opened the door and started at Sonic blankly. "You're loud." He stated simply.

Sonic chuckled. "Yeah, sorry. But it hit me that you might not have used protection last night, So I picked this up for you." He handed Tails a box with Plan B written on it in pink letters. "You're not ready for kids yet."

Tails nodded as he tapped the box with his fingers. "Thank you for your concern."

"Well I'm off. We're having a late lunch. Remember that." Sonic zoomed off at that.

Tails nodded as he walked back into the room. He glanced at the clock. It was 1:22. Late lunch for Sonic was 3-4. He had time. He was sure Amy would want to talk.

"Sonic brought this." He held up the package to Amy. "Do you know how to take it?"

Amy nodded as she wrapped the blanket around herself. She sat up in the room. "Can I take a shower?"

"Go for it. I'll bring you a pair of my pjs." Tails answered.

Amy nodded as she got up. She took the box from the fox as she made her way to the bathroom.

The hot shower gave her time to think. So she had slept with Tails. That was a fact. She popped the pill into her mouth as she stood under the hot water. Tails seemed calm, so it wasn't a big deal. She swallowed the pull. She just taken the emergency contraception. So she most likely want going to be pregnant. Though she had heard of times where the day after pill didn't always work. She took a deep breath.

She would cross that bridge when she got to it. For now she would just hope for the best. Take a test in a month and see. She would need to discuss that with Tails though.

She walked into the kitchen and found Tails pulling tacos out of the microwave. He placed them evenly on two pages. Hot sauce was already on the table. Tails' fur was slightly damp from his shower.

"Morning," Tails greeted as he placed the plates on the table.

"Morning." Amy replied.

Tails opened the fridge and pulled out a gallon of orange juice. "Do you want juice, milk, or soda?"

"Juice please." Amy grabbed two cups from his cabinet.

They ate in silence. It was almost awkward and deafening in a way. Amy swallowed down her last bite of food. She tapped her fingers on the glass her juice was in.

"I'm going to take a test in a month," she stated.

Tails nodded, "That would be wise. I've also been tested,"

"I know," Amy nodded, "I was the nurse at the clinic you and your ex went to. You're clean. So am I, by the way."

Tails took a sip of his juice. "I forgot to ask, but are you on birth control?"

"I took my first shot last month," Amy stated. "But it's my first time taking the shot, so I don't know how it well it works yet. I've taken the Plan B, but just in case, I'm going to take a home test in a month."

Tails nodded. "That leaves the slim chance of pregnancy. What do you want to do if it comes back positive?"

Amy thought for a long time. "I don't want children yet. I'm sure you feel the same."

Tails nodded. "That leaves the options of give the child up for adoption or abortion open."

"Those are big options." Amy muttered. "Would I be a horrible person if I chose abortion?"

"No." Tails shook his head. "I actually like that option most. It means we don't have to deal with the guilt of sending our kid to an orphanage."

Amy sighed in relief. "I was afraid you would disagree with me. Or even hate me for picking that option."

Tails laughed. "It's the most logical option. We don't want kids right now. I'd feel bad for putting a kid in an orphanage. I'm sure you would too. So the logical option is an abortion if you turn up pregnant."

Amy nodded. She was so glad that Tails was so logical. "Let's do ourselves a favor and never speak of this, ok?"

"Agreed." Tails nodded.

 

A month later, Amy Rose was pacing her living room. She was re-reading the directions. She had followed them to a T. Now was the most agonizing part - waiting. She felt that the test couldn't be done quick enough. The kitchen timer was slowly ticking by.

Amy jumped when her phone rang. She answered with a chirper greeting. "Hi Bunnie, what's up?"

"Hi Suga!" The rabbit's voice filled Amy's ear. "I was wondering if you wanted to come ice skating with us today."

Amy pondered the idea. She liked the idea. "It'll take a few minutes for me to get ready. I'm kind of wai..." Amy jumped as the kitchen timer went off. She turn it off before rushing into the bathroom. She picked up the stick and stared intently at the screen. Amy cheered. "Yes! I'm not pregnant. Oh thank chaos!"

"Ah..." Bunnie chuckled. "So wanna talk about this little scare?"

"Nope." Amy answered, embarrassed that she forgot the rabbit was on the phone. "I'll meet you guys at the ice rink in 20 minutes."

"Ok. See you later." Bunnie giggled.

Amy rushed into a change of clothes as she sent Tails a quick text with a picture of the test.

At Tails' workshop, Tails was working on another invention when his phone went off. He picked it up and read it. He nodded as texted back 'k.'

He deleted the messages from his phone in case Sonic accidentally picked his up. They really ought to get different looking phones.

Tails shrugged. Maybe he'd bring it up to his big bro later. He went back to tinkering on his machine.

poem

What do you feel?

looking at the the mirrors

you can cover up to prying eyes

but what's on the outside isn't always what's on the inside.

did your mask fit so perfectly?

it looks like you're scared.

it's feeling lose.

can they see?

can they tell it's a facade?

bite your lip and get the glue

you'll reshape the mask and cover up the cracks

random poem

I felt my heart racing

I know your thumbs aching

click clack. Click clack.

the sounds just getting louder.

join me. Join us.

we came here to have fun.

we're just having fun.

cursing at the screen.

better apply the aloe to the burns.

Little Mermaid Sonic Ver Ch12

Little Mermaid Sonic Version
Krissie: This story is now 20 pages long in my word document. Cool!
Chapter 12:
Rouge was concerned about Amy. Sonic’s wedding was tomorrow. Amy had been a happy, smiling angel. That was until one of the maid’s brought up that tomorrow was the day. Amy’s smile had disappeared like a wisp. She instantly retreated into herself. She excused herself to her room and she had yet to come out.
The sun was high and normally Amy would be running about playing in the garden. But not today.
Rouge sighed as she softly knocked on the door to Amy’s room. “Amy?” she called, pausing as she pressed her ear to the door. She was listening for any sign of life. She felt a pain she had never felt before as she heard beads dropping to the floor. “I’m coming in,” she swallowed that feeling down as she turned the door knob.
Rouge gasped as she stepped into landmine of pearls. They were all over the floor. Several different colors. White, pink, purple, black, blues, reds, etc. Rouge was sure there was at least each color of the rainbow here. Amy was sitting in the window nook. Tikal was sitting behind her, lightly brushed her hair in some vain attempt to comfort her.
Rouge closed the door with a soft click. Though it did cause Amy to look up at the bat. She gave a mournful smile before turning back. Rouge hated that look. It felt wrong seeing it on Amy.
Rouge pulled up a chair and sat beside her. She didn’t know what to say to the pink hedgehog. She patted Amy’s arm before holding her hand tightly. “There is nothing I can say or do. Nothing at all to make your pain go away. I can think of nothing to comfort you either.”
Amy turned to look at Rouge, who didn’t have the courage to look up at her. Tikal had kept quiet. Only softly stroking Amy’s hair in a soothing tempo.
Amy placed her other hand over Rouge’s. She brought it to her lips and kissed it. Rouge looked up at her.
“I’ll be fine one day. It’s just that today is sad day.” Amy mouthed. She looked around the room at all the pearls she had cried. “Please, turn those into jewelry as well.”
Rouge nodded.

The wedding was in full swing. Princess Sally looked beautiful. Sonic was a nervous wreck for the first time in his life, but he was extremely happy. Rouge was decked out in extravagant pearls. Amy also wore some pearls too. She also wore the emerald necklace Knuckles had given her. Knuckles came as an escort for the two girls. His suit was dusty and not as well made as the other people in attendance, but Knuckles didn’t seem to care. Though he did stick close to either Amy or Tails.
Amy smiled at Tails. The fox looked adorable in the little blue suit Sonia had picked for him. Shadow hung around the back of the ceremony. He kept staring at everyone with sharp piercing eyes.
The bouquet was being thrown and Amy nudged Rouge in front of her. Rouge turned bright red as the bouquet of beautiful flowers landed in her arms. Amy smiled as she mouthed at Knuckles, “Looks like you’re destined to propose to her soon.”
Knuckles turned bright red as he turned his face away from the pink hedgehog, coughing into his hand.
Amy thought the party was beautiful, but she found herself feeling sad. She had loved Sonic not long ago. It wasn’t as strong as it had been when she first met him. She had been trying to put out the flame, for the sake of his happiness. But her heart still ached with each glance at the newlywed couple.
She walked along the nearby beach. There weren’t many people around and she was relieved for that. She made sure to keep her heels on. She remembered very well that the sand would turn to glass and cut her feet if she stepped on it. She walked carefully as she stared out into the ocean. She missed it. The reefs, the water, the other creatures, the ships. She missed so much, but there was no going back. She had legs now. She would never again get to swim in the ocean like she had.
Tears began to fall from her face. She felt as she had promised Rouge she wouldn’t cry today, but she couldn’t help it. A quick glance around and no one was around. Amy made sure to walk to a more secluded area just in case anyone came by. She caught the pearls as they fell from her face. She found a spot on a cliff for her to sit. She watched the waves crash again the bottom of the cliff. Her silent sobs causing her shoulders to shake.
The fur on the back of her neck stood on end. She jolted her head up as she looked at the source of the sensation. It was Prince Shadow. That damn staring problem of his was sending shivers down her spine.
Shadow knelt down in front of her and roughly grabbed her hand. Pearls flew out of the hand as he pulled it forward to look at the few pearls that remained. His red eyes moved up to her face and took full notice of the tear that dropped from her eye and became a pearl. It seemed to have dropped in slow motion and made a loud thud into her lap.
“You cry pearls,” he breathed in awe. Lines and dots connected in his head. “Rouge has been keeping you to make pearls for jewelry? I knew something was off, but for her to go this far for some stupid pearls.” Shadow found himself growling. “This isn’t right.” He held her hand tighter, causing Amy to wince in pain. “I’m not letting you be exploited by her anymore.” He tugged on Amy’s arm as he pulled her to her feet. He began to drag her away.
Amy shook her head. She tried to pull her hands away in a vain attempt to form sign language. Shadow couldn’t read lips. How could she make him understand if he was holding her hand in his vice grip? She tugged frantically to no avail until she decided to just plant her feet hard in the ground.
“Stop struggling!” Shadow yelled, “Can’t you see that Rouge is only using you!? Just let me help you!” He waved his hands in the air.
Amy fell back with the force from suddenly being free.
Ruby eyes went wide as the pink hedgehog stumbled back on her shaky feet. Unfortunately, a cliff side was the worse place for her to be as her foot touched nothing after a few steps back in vain attempts of gaining balance.
Shadow yelled as he rushed towards her. He had only wanted to help her. She had seemed like some small frightened person. Like a wounded bird he had once tried to save a child. He dashed forward with an outstretched hand, but he was too late.
Amy felt the air pushing against her as she fell. Her tears flew above her and filled her vision. She felt a numbness fill her body.

SPLASH!

The water foamed up as her body sunk. Shadow raced down to the rocky shore line. The likelihood of her surviving that fall was slim, but he could only hope that somehow she survived.
Amy heard muffled sounds as she sunk. A large arm wrapped around her waist and she felt it pulling her up. She opened her eyes to find that the salt hurt. Through blurry eyes, she easily made out her father.
The wind of the surface hurt her at first. It created a chilling shock down her spine. She shuttered as her father placed her on a smooth rock.
“Amy!” Shadow waded into the water towards her. “Amy!”
Amy looked up at Shadow and then turned back to her father. The man only glared at her. She rarely saw him. A part of her wish to never see him like this.
“You made a deal with the emerald.” He growled.
Amy nodded.
“You foolish child. Don’t you understand that heartbreak in this form will kill you?” He yelled.
Amy sighed as she placed her hands in her lap. She clenched her knees tightly. She had no voice to argue.
He placed a knife at her side. It was long dagger. Jewels were embedded onto the handle. “There is a chance to fix this mess. If you kill him and allow his blood to fall onto your feet, you can return home. To the sea. Where you belong.” He stared at her with such an intensity. Amy was tempted to do as she wished.
She picked up the dagger and examined it. It was sharp and shiny. It could easily kill with one stab. But kill Sonic? She couldn’t possibly do that. She loved him. And she would not kill her love.
“If you will not, then point him out to me and I’ll do it for you.” Her father ordered.
Amy tilted her head at that. “If that is the case, then there is only one option.” She mouthed with a sad smile.
She gripped the knife with two hands.
“NO!” Shadow and her father yelled in unison.
Amy gasped as she coughed up blood. Tears rolled down her cheek. The pearls bouncing off the rock and falling into the ocean with little ker-plops.
Her father reached out to grab her, his tails shining in the sunlight.
“A mermaid?” Shadow shrieked in disbelief as he jumped onto the rock and pulled Amy out of her father’s grasp.
“Return my daughter to me!” he ordered.
“What the hell is going on?” Shadow yelled. He looked down at Amy’s wheezing form. She was still breathing. There was a chance. A small chance, but a chance to save her. He hoisted her up in his arms. If he went to his top speed, he could get her to a doctor in time.
“Your exertion is not necessary,” A deep voice sounded as Shadow jumped to another rock. Chaos appeared before Shadow on the shore.
“Chaos?” Shadow looked confused.
The god plucked the girl out of his arms. “This mermaid has chosen death over life.” Chaos stated. “Taking her to a doctor is a moot point.” He sat with Amy in his lap in the shallow water. He placed his hand on her forehead. Her legs were incased in light and when it deemed, she had a long tail with bright shiny scales. “Do you have any final words Little Mermaid?”
Amy smiled at him. “I have no regrets,” she said in a raspy voice, “So be happy.” Her emerald eyes were glassy. She was so close to death’s door.
“Did you both get that?” Chaos looked at the two men. They both nodded. Her father did a back flip in the water. His tail creating a large splash. He was gone moments later.
Shadow stood there numbly staring at Amy, who seemed to be focusing on the sky with a smile on her face as her breathing slowed.
“Well, you can inform the others of her last words,” Chaos stated as he stood and began to walk into the ocean, carrying Amy’s limp body. “I’ll be taking her body to the shrine.”
Shadow stood there for several long minutes before he finally walked back. The party was ending. Rouge seemed frantic as she rushed around.
“Hey Shadow!” Sonic greeted his cousin, “Rouge can’t find Amy. Have you seen her?”
Shadow nodded as he walked up to the white bat. “She was mermaid. Where you aware?”
Rouge gasped. “That’s a secret,” she became offensive. “Do you know where she is?”
“She…” Shadow looked for the right word. Finding nothing, he was left with the bluntest one. “Died. Chaos came and took her body.” Shadow clenched his fist. “She said she had no regrets, so be happy.” He clenched his teeth. Saying it left a bitter taste in his mouth.
Tears filled Rouge’s eyes. She buried her head into Knuckles’ chest the moment he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
The white bat blubbered throughout her explanation of Amy was a mermaid who made a deal for legs to Sally and Sonic. Sally and Sonic were filled with sympathies for the young girl. Knuckles wound up escorting the hysterical Rouge home. Tails accompanied Shadow at Sonic’s ordered.
The ebony hedgehog felt like garbage. He remembered the small bird he found with a broken wing as a child. He did everything his 6-year-old self could think of to help the small creature. But it got sick and no matter what he tried, he couldn’t nurse it back to health. It had died. Shadow felt horrible then. And he felt even worse now. He plopped down into his bed and just buried his head into his pillow. Tails brought him some hot tea with honey before leaving Shadow in silence.

Tikal sat with Chaos at the shrine. The two were playing a board game. The body of the little mermaid floated peacefully in the water around the shrine. A smile was on her face. Tikal looked at her with a sad face.
“How long do you plan to keep her body here?” She asked the god.
“Until her body decays to nothing,” Chaos answered simply. “Do you have any 3s?”
[][][][]
KRISSIE: At 24 pages, this is now a finished story. I’m done. I’m ending it here. I was thinking of doing something else, but this is where I wound up.
