Blind Date ch8

Krissie: so here we are. I'm writing this in a spiral and then typing it on my phone.

"So what happened after that?" Shadow asked from his seat next to Amy.
Amy had reclined backwards to look up at the canopy of the tree. She liked the kaleidoscope effect it created. "We jumped into a pile of leaves. And then a few days later fails surprised me by splitting his birthday with me."
"That was nice of him." Shadow commented. He guess he could forgive the fox now.
"Yeah, he even convinced Sonic to pull out my chair for me like I was a princess!" Amy chuckled at the memory.
Shadow nodded as he looked at her. A warm feeling came to his chest. It reminded him of something. The memory was vague, but he recalled Maria describing this feeling to him. She said it was what people felt towards their pets. He shook his head. He didnt want to think of Amy Rose as some stray puppy he found and adopted.
"What is your family like?" He almost murmured, but Amy heard it.
"My family?" Amy cocked her head to the side. "Why do you ask?"
Shadow shrugged. "You rarely mention them. So I guess I'm curious."
Amy licked her lips nervously. "I didn't want to make conversations awkward. I mean, almost everyone was orphaned. I didn't want to feel like I was gloating that I still had family." Amy sighed as she wrapped her arms tightly around herself.
Shadow nodded. "That makes sense. People always yearn for what they don't have."
"You're no exception yourself, Shadow," Amy lazily swatted at his leg. It was all she could reach while laying om the ground.
Shadow shrugged. "I still want to know about your family. I won't feel awkward about it too."
Amy giggled as she rolled onto her stomach and plucked at the grass. "Well... I have a cousin. His name is Rob. He lives in Mercia. Rob is..." Amy paused as she searched for the right word. "An archer. He's really good at it too. His wife is Marian. She's really nice. I haven't had much of a chance to visit Mercia, so we haven't gotten close. But she's nice. They have a son around Alexis' age."
"Oh really?" Shadow mused. "Does he cause a lot of trouble for a 10 year old?"
Amy burst into laughter. "Not as much as I did. But that's just the way Jon is. He's hyper."
"But?" Shadow encouraged.
"He gets scared easily if his parents aren't there," Amy gave a huge grin, "It's cute."
"I am certain that boys his age don't like to be referred to as cute." Shadow mused.
"Maybe," Amy shrugged as she rolled onto her back, "But I can't think of a better word to describe him."
"Poor kid, I feel bad for him." Shadow gave an exaggerated sigh.
Amy laughed at Shadow's pretend pity.
Shadow leaned over the pink hedgehog. Amy felt her breath get caught in her throat. Shadow was less than a foot from her face. "What about your parents?"
Amy went from trying not to blush to  chewing on her lip. She glanced to the side so she wouldn't look at him. She saw some kids playing tag. A light bulb went off above her head. Amy shot her arm out and landed on Shadow's arm. "Tag you're it!" She yelled before rolling over in the opposite direction. She jolted up and dashed away while Shadow was still dumbfounded by the sudden response. Amy wasn't ready to talk about her parents yet.
Shadow stared after Amy as he processed what had happened. He would have to drop the subject of her parents for now, but that didn't mean he would let her get away that easily. He waited till she dashed behind a tree.
He was by the tree in a second and watched Amy take huge breathes for a moment. Sweat was already building at the nape of her neck. Her chest lifted up and down at large long intervals. He noted that Amy shouldn't do too much of a workout in the outfit she was wearing. It looked like  her breasts were about to burst out of it at any moment.
Shadow turned his head and eyes to Amy's face, a slight sense of guilt or shame rooting in his mind. He would deal with it later.
"Boo." He spoke causing Amy to jump.
"Shadow, hey!" Amy slowly backed away from him.
"Are we running away Rose?" Shadow smirked.
"Well," Amy gave a nervous grin, "You are it. And well..." Amy dashed off into another direction.
Shadow shook his head before staring intently at her retreating form. If she wanted to run from him like prey, fine. He would treat her like pray.
Shadow allowed Amy to run a little way away and hide from him in some random spot before he appeared next to her. He wore his smirk as he said boo or some silly stereotypical ghost sound. Amy would yelp and then back away before dashing off.
Shadow finally decided to end the game when Amy stumbled and her skirt flared up. Shadow was not prepared to see lacey magenta underwear.
He tilted his head back and held his nose once he realized it was bleeding. He took a few breaths as he kept an eye out on where Amy would hide. Once he was sure that the bleeding had stopped, he zipped to where Amy was hiding. She was leaning against another tree catching her breath. He grabbed her arm gently.
"Caught you," he stated blanded as Amy yelped.
"Well, it looks like I'm it," amy gasped for air as she tried to laugh.
Shadow shook his head, "It's time to get you home so you can rest."
Amy smiled at that. A bath sounded great to her to her right now.
The two walked home in silence. Shadow didn't let go of Amy's hand the whole time. He was sure if she wondered off on her own, she would pass out somewhere and sleep for a good two days. Several people stopped and gawked at them. Those in groups huddled together and murmured to each other about the sight. Shadow saw several with phones pointed at them, probably taking photos. He, however, didn't have the time to care about how random strangers on the internet would react to photos of him walking with Rose. The internet freaked out when he went to buy a blender and that's when he just checked out of the internet.
They arrived at Amy's home. Shadow finally let go of Amy's hand so she could unlock her door.
"Today was really fun!" Amy stated as she opened the door.
"It was." Shadow nodded. "Get plenty of rest, Rose."
Amy giggled as she took off her shoes. "I will right after a nice long bath. She placed her shoes by the door as she stood on her porch with Shadow. "Get home safe Shadow." Amy held her hands in front of her chest. She wanted to hug him, but Shadow made it clear long ago that he didn't like hugs often. He restricted Amy to four hugs a month and she already used up all of those hugs this month.
Shadow pulled Amy into a hug. Amy's eyes widen as he squeezed her tight. Amy wrapped her arms around him and gave a soft squeeze. Shadow found himself smiling as he burried his nose into Amy's quills. She smelled lightly of strawberry shampoo, a light peach perfume, mixed with sweat from running around the park. He liked the way the scents mixed together and he was sure Amy had smelt more alluring earlier in the day before she ran like mad in the park. He regretted not taking the time to actually smell her earlier.
Shadow pulled away. His face going back to it's normal everyday frown as he did. "Good night Rose," he nodded his head before leaving.
"Good night Shadow," Amy waved as she stepped into her house and closed the door. Her face was bright red as she walked to get her bath ready.
Shadow had hugged her. Hugged her! He had never hugged her before. It was always her hugging him and him standing still like a dead fish. She would have to mark this day on the calendar as her first hug with Shadow. She wondered if this ment she could hug him more then four times a month now too. She would ask him later.

Blind Date Ch7

Krissie: so here is a flash back chapter.
PREVIOUS
'-' face '-'
It was fall. The leaves had turned oranges and burt reds. Amy smiled as she collected them into a pile. She was lonely and homesick. This was her first year in Knothole. She was far from home. No one knew it, but they had missed her birthday. Her only wish that year had been to spend the whole day with her hero, Sonic.
The blue hedgehog seemed to disagree with her birthday wishes as he ran from her picnic invite and other attempts to hang out. A walk through the woods, fishing, eating chilidogs together. Sonic seemed to not be interested in her cooking. It made her heart heavy with tears.
So here she was, nearly a month after her birthday, collecting leaves into a pile. She placed them under a large tree she could climb. She planned to jump into the leaves like she had done so many years before.
"What are you doing?" A voice from behind made the pink hedgehog squeal.
She turned as the leaves in her hands were thrown into the air and rained down on her. She gasped as she looked at the orange fox. "T... t..." she struggled with his name. She knew it, but it was lost on her.
He stood patiently in front of her. Tilting his head slightly so his sky blue eyes would stare up at her with childish innocence. He was awaiting her words. Waiting for her to recall his name.
Amy's bottom lip quivered. Her felt awful for not recalling. Her green eyes just stared at him.
He frowned at her quivering lip. He didn't mean to make her cry. He stood straight and looked around. He was scanning for others. As if what he was about to do would get him in trouble. He took a step forward as Amy still stared. Her mind still struggling. He grabbed her hand and drew circles on it with his thumb.
"It's ok," he cooed, "Take your time. Just breathe." He instructed as he brought his other hand to her cheek to draw circles there.
Amy followed the soft orders as he stood so close she could smell his breath. She didn't understand how, but his breath smelled of mint and peaches.
After a few moments, he smiled at her. "There, are we feeling better?"
Amy nodded. "Sorry," came the soft phrase.
He only smiled as he continued drawing circles on her. "It's alright. You're still getting used to everything. Would you like a good luck charm that'll make you feel better?"
"Good luck charm?" Amy echoed back.
"Yeah, I see Antoine and Bunnie give it to each other all the time." He stated with a smile. "It's supposed to bring you good luck, happiness, and warmth. Would you like me to gibe it to you? You look like you could use it."
Amy was curious. She always did like good luck charms. She liked most mystic things actually. A good luck charm sounded wonderful right about now. "Ok," she gave her head a soft bob.
He smiled as he drew close and placed his lips on hers for a few seconds before pulling back.
Amy turned a bright red as he smiled at her.
"See the good luck charm is already working! You'll feel so warm that you turn red for a moment, but it'll fade after a bit." He seemed so proud of himself.
"That's not a good luck charm!" Amy stammered out. "That's a k-k-kiss."
"What? But they said it was a good luck charm." He replied confused.
"Lies. Lies," Amy took a step back as tears filled her eyes. "That's a kiss. First kisses are supposed to be special. You stole mine. Why?" She broke down into sobs.
He cringed as he held up his hands. "I was told it was a good luck charm.  I didn't know it was a kiss." He looked around for something that could ease the situation. "Stay here, I'll be right back."
Amy heard the russel of leaves as he dashed off. Amy just stood there crying. The world was blurry as she heard the crunching of leaves under someone's feet. It didn't take long before he returned with someone close behind.
"What's so urgent suga?" The woman asked as Amy felt the wind whirl around her. "Oh dear! Are you alright suga?"
Amy flinched a little at the touch. She looked up and saw the Bunnie with a worried expression. Amy chocked on her words as she tried to formulate a sentence.
"It's my fault," the boy interjected. "I didn't mean to make her cry, but I can't fix it."
Bunnie nodded as she looked at him and then back to Amy. "Alright Tails, I'm going to need you to tell me from the beginning." She picked up Amy and held her close. "You chime in if he gets anything wrong." She brushed her fingers through Amy's quills.
"Well Amy was upset. She couldn't remember my name and she looked like she was about to cry. So I offered to give her a good luck charm that I see you and Antoine exchange," he rambled as he paced.
"Suga, that's not a good luck charm," Bunnie shook her head.
"I know that now. She told me as she began breaking down. I broke her Bunnie. I don't know what to do to make her feel better or apologize or make up for it." Tails waved his hands frantically in the air.
Bunnie nodded as she grabbed Tails by the arm. "Alrighty, breath Tails. Let's try to talk through this."
Tails plopped down on the ground next to them. A few leaves flew up in the air and Amy held out her hand to catch one.
"Amy suga," Bunnie's soft voice caused Amy to look at her. "Listen Tails here didn't mean to hurt you. He thought he was giving you a good luck charm. Boys don't often understand romantic things like kissing. He feels really bad for it too. Do you think you can forgive him?"
Amy looked at Bunnie as her brain processed what the rabbit had said. She looked at Tails. She could see he was really sorry he upset her. Amy took a breath before she sat up straight. Forgiveness was the greatest power and the greatest gift. It was a motto her family had taught her since birth. Amy placed her hands on her lap and she looked at Tails.
Tails gulped as he felt Amy was looking through him. Her posture and expression reminded him of a ruthless queen in one of his books. He hoped she would command off with his head.
Amy spoke formally as she continued to stare at Tails. "I forgive you, Miles Tails Prower." She bowed her head and smiled. "I feel so kuch better now," Amy sighed. "Cousin was right, forgiveness is the greatest power."
"Your cousin sounds very wise," Bunnie commented.
Amy beamed up at her. "He's the best!" She hopped out of the rabbit's lap.
Bunnie smiled as she patted Amy on the head. "So what is that pile of leaves for?"
Amy looked at her pile. "For jumping. Every year after my birthday, we take a bunch of leaves and put them into a pile to jump into them. I had to wait longer this years for the leaves to change and fall, but they're fallen now. So I can make the biggest pile."
"When's your birthday?" Tails asked curiously.
"September 23rd," Amy rattled off like ot was nothing as she went to gather more leaves for her pile.
"What? We missed your birthday?" Tails frowned.
Amy just shrugged with a smile. "Everyone was busy. It would have been bothersome to ask for a birthday party. If you want, you can help me with the leaf pile. And we can jump in together!" Amy beames at the idea.
Tails pouted slightly but nodded. "Jumping into leaves sounds fun." Little did Amy know that gears were spinning rapidly in Tails's brain.
'-" face
KRISSIE:  So I took longer to finish this then i thought. My brain struggled with this chapter so much. Plus, I spent a long time editing YouTube videos. I tried on a Sonic the Hedgehog face mask for a video. I also wanted to give a shout out to ToxicSpeka! She sent me a pm that made my day which is why I tried to get this chapter finished a lot quicker then I normally would've. She also has a cute fanfic called Moving On. I highly recommend it! So go check it out after you're done with this chapter! It'll be a bit before I finish the next chapter.

Blind Date Ch6

Late lunch/early dinner was burger and fries at a dinner on the street that led to the bank. Amy pointed at a random shop.
"There used to be a golden chao egg in that window." She smiled at an old memory.
"Now it's just an egg shaped rock," Shadow noted, "What happened to the actual egg?"
"Tails stole it and replaced it with that rock. The guy never noticed." Amy snickered.
"Who knew Tails was a theif," Shadow mused.
"Oh, I've stolen many things," a voice from the booth behind the ebnoy hedgehog piped in.
"Really? Care to share Prower?" Shadow turned to look over at the fox.
Tails beamed up at Shadow. It was a grin of victory. A previctory grin that Tails gave when he knew something and he was about to play with something or someone. His blue eyes sparkled with delight. "Why would I reveal that over an impromptu lunch?"
"Because  I'm curious." Manic leaned in close. "So share the deats with the not so goodies."
Shadow nodded at Manic's comment. "Spill," Shadow ordered.
"Are you guys teaming up against Tails?" Amy pouted as she ate her salad.
"Yes," Shadow nodded, "I want to know what he's capable of."
Tails bit his lip as he tried to stiffle a growing laugh. "Would you like a list of what all I've stolen?"
"Yes!" Manic exclaimed in a whisper.
Tails sighed but his smile never left. "I stole Sonic's food a lot when I was four. I stole that super hero figurine of Manic's that said those phrases." Tails listed several things that were random amd unimportant. Shadow and Manic almost got bored with it as Amy clenched  fist in her lap everytime her name was mentioned. Luckily, everything he said he had stolen from her had been food.
"I stole Amy's first kiss. I stole a pie," Tails' air supply became restricted.
Shadow had his eyes close and his mouth twisted in a frown. His hand had snaked around the fox's shoulder and held him by the neck in a vice grip against the rubbery cushion of the booth.
"It's bad to tell lies Prower," Shadow growled.
Tails gasped for air as he looked at Shadow. He was shooked, but his eyes hid a sickening excitement by Shadow's reaction.
"Shadow, let him go!" Amy banged her hands on the table.
Several people turned to eye the scene curiously. Many shrunk back in their seats as they eyed Shadow attempting murder in public. Amy rushed around the table and grabbed the black hedgehog's shoulder. Manic merely stared dumbstruck unsure what to do.
"Shadow stop this!" Amy hissed as she tried to keep quiet in order to avoid causing anymore of a scene.
Shadow only growled as he opened his eyes to stare daggers at the fox.
"Shadow, please!" Amy begged as she placed her hand over his and attempted to pry his fingers off the fox's throat.
"His lie was not a funny joke," Shadow kept his rage focused on Tails.
Amy heaved a heavy sigh. "Except, he's not lying," Amy stated matter of factly. "But now is not the time to talk about it," she nodded her head to the onlookers as she gave Shadow this distressed look.
Shadow finally turned to Amy to examine her face. Shadow wanted to see her face and see her guilty lying expression where she twitched her nose like a bunny. Instead, he got a guilty expression, but the expression said it was true. Shadow closed his eyes as he shook slightly. He released Tails in a swift motion and laid his head on his folded arms. He looked at Amy with a questioning look.
Tails fell to the seat with a thud. He took in all the air he needed as Manic slid water in front of him. Tails then sat up as a wicked grin took over his face. His body shook as laughter escaped. He soon fell over with maniacal laughter.
The three others jumped back in shock from the response.
"Tails?" Manic whispered, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah." Tails nodded, "Yeah, I'm alright. I didn't expect Shadow's reaction to be so... strong." He was still in a fit of giggles as he turned to Amy.
Shadow had grabbed her and pulled her close as he thought the orange fox had lost his marbles. Amy was practically on the man's lap. Shadow's hand had a firm grip on her waist as he held her close. His other arm rested on the top contencting edge of their booth seat. Amy's arm wrapped around Shadow's neck as her other hand rested on his chest fur.
Tails smirked at them with knowing eyes. "He's the jealous type," he pointed at Shadow. He looked between the two and smiled brighter, like a child full of innocence. "You two are going to give me lots of amusement in the future."
"Did that really call for evil maniacal laughter?" Manic slowly breathed.
"Oh that?" Amy arched a brow, "That's because he enjoys being chocked."
Tails blushed slightly as he shrugged, "It's true."
Shadow turned to Amy with wide eyes. "Did I just..."
"Inadvertently get Tails high?" Amy finished, "Yes."
Shadow swallowed as he nodded and turned back to his food. He wanted to finish their lunch and get a good distance between them. They finished their lunch in quiet and people slowly turned back to their food.
The two hedgehogs took a walk in a park as Shadow was burning with questions.
Amy sighed as she plucked a white dandelion from the ground. "We were kids when he did it. So don't try to chock him again."
"I don't want to give Tails some wierd sickening joy as he dies," Shadow shuddered some. He now slightly understood why Tails didn't have long term relationships often.
Amy turned away from Shadow *as she chuckled.
"So..." Shadow hummed, "Care to explain how Prower stole,"
"My first kiss?" Amy finished. Sge arched a brow at him. She wished she could just sweep the incident under the rug, but Tails had to test Shadow. To see if he would be jealous. Tails had smirked so triumphantly at her when he proclaimed Shadow the jealous type.
Amy sat under a large tree as she took a deep breath. Her hands rested atop her lap as she crossed her ankles. Her green eyes glazed over as she pondered the past.
Shadow quietly sat next to her with a curious look.
Where to begin this tale? Where to begin?

R.o.S. ch10 pt1

Krissie: and now we continue hopeful before the reviews for last chapter come in and I'll get this one done.
'-' funny face '-'
Masato and Jadeite came back to find Shin and Izono sitting on the couch in the living room. There were papers scattered on the coffee table as Shin hunched over them crunching numbers and other things.
"What's going on?" Jadeite asked as he sat down.
"Mom wants to take us home to London," Izono answered.
"But luckily I made a deal with Aino-san, so I've bought us some time." Shin informed them.
"Explain," Masato ordered as he sat down in an arm chair.
Shin quickly rattled off his events of the day. He then turned to Jadeite. "Do you want to take part?"
Jadeite smiled, "For my mom? Of course! But we only had one song planned. We'll need to get other artists or think of a bigger act. We should see if Mina wants to preform to."
"That's true," Izono sat up more. He was currently curled up in blankets. "That would help fill up the time too. Other wise one of us will have to learn to juggle."
Jadeite laughed as he sat down next to Izono. "But you'll need to rest up and not get sick."
Izono nodded, "I wrote more songs." He handed the note book to Jadeite. "For the concert."
Jadeite glanced over it. "Most of this is piano score."
"I figured since you want to be a model, if we can get maybe a high school's fashion club involved, maybe they would want to dress you up. Or maybe Mako-chan. She's got a model body."
Masato glared at Izono.
"Don't glare," Izono stated pointedly. "You didn't put a ring on it, so you have no say."
"Not yet." Masato pouted some.
Izono smirked as he turned to Jadeite. Jadeite was wearing a similar smile.
"Did you hear that?" Izono sang.
"Not yet," Jadeite repeated. "My my. Masato is already planning on proposing."
"Get a date before you already plan to propose, Masato," Shin stated as he continued going through paper.
Masato groaned as he threw his head back. "What's all that paper work?"
"Renting the park's stage and permits and such." Shin rolled his eyes.
"We better get back to work soon," Masato stated.
"If we don't, our savings accounts are going to be high and dry." Shin shook his head.
"Did we get a newspaper in?" Jadeite asked.
Masato shook his head.
Jadeite frowned, "We'll have to hit the pavement hard tomorrow."
"Most people use the internet now," Zoisite stated. "Mina-chan told me when she came by."
"Yeah, but do you know how to use the internet?" Shin asked. Because he didn't. It wasn't much when they disappeared years ago. He turned to Masato. "What about you?"
Masato merely shrugged.
They all groaned as they realized how unprepared they were for this modern age.
A knock at the door broke them out of their depression.
Jadeite answered the door and then beamed at Mamoru. "Hello!" Jadeite stepped aside, "Please come in Mamoru-sama!"
Mamoru smiled. "Just Mamoru is fine," he waved his hand nervously as he entered the living room.
"Actually, we could really use your help," Jadeite stated as he led him to a seat in the living room. "You see, we want to start looking for work, but we're at a disadvantage when it comes to all this new technology."
Mamoru nodded, "Well, I'll happily get you guys up to speed. I heard from Usako that you're planning on doing a concert at the park too."
"Yes, but renting the area requires money and it would be best to have a job for that," Shin stated.
"Plus, living off our meager savings isn't wise," Masato added in as he read over the paper work. "Getting back to work as soon as possible is best. But none of us know how to use the internet, which is mainly used for job seekers now."
Mamoru nodded. He gave a soft smile, "Well, let's give you guys a crash course in it. You'll have to come with me, I'm sure you guys don't have an internet connection here."
The men traveled to Mamoru's apartment. It took two hours for the four men to figure out the internet. Masato and Shin handled setting up internet for their current home. Jadeite and Zoisite filled out several applicantions online after setting up an email address.
"It'll take a while for everything to go through, so hitting the pavement tomorrow wouldn't hurt too." Mamoru stated. "It's Saturday and I have that day off. So I can go with you guys."
"Thank you so much!" Zoisite hugged Mamoru tightly. "We should print copies of our resumes when we get home." He noted. "Is yours up to date Jadeite?"
"It should be. I think my last modeling job isn't listed on it." Jadeite looked up from the article on job hunting he was reading.
"We'll also go too." Shin stated. "It is best to go for jobs that fit our skills."
"So we'll meet again bright and early?" Mamoru mused.
"Yes. Please get plenty of rest," Masato nodded as he led the other three out of the apartment.
"." Face '.'
Krissie: next chapter will be job hunting or focusing on the girls. I don't know yet. Which would you rather see?
