Knuxadow High School Part 5 - Shopping Spree Gone Wrong! (Amy's PoV)
Knuxadow High School Part 5
Shopping Spree! (Amy's PoV)
I yawn and scratch my head and hear my stomach growl for some food. Normally on Saturday's, I would go straight to the kitchen, but today was different. Today, I went to take a shower first. Turning, on the shower, I began bathing until I was finished. Throwing something on, I headed downstairs. Definitely gonna' have to clean up today, I thought walking into the kitchen. I set out the toaster, some eggs, pancake mix, and butter as the ingredients. Tied my pink hair back and got cooking. Minutes later the toast popped outta' the toaster, eggs were scrambled, pancakes were waiting to be flipped, and butter ready to go! As soon as I flipped the pancake, I heard little footsteps coming from the stairs. "Ohayo, Cream." I say. "Wanna go to the beach later on?" I asked flipping the pancake once again. She responded with a little smile and a yawn which probably meant yes. "You hungry?" I asked her. "Yes...I heard you in the shower, and that's what woke me up." she smiled. I blushed as she giggled at me. "Go sit at the table and I'll bring you your food." I told her. She listened and walked to the table and sat down. I set out the plates and placed food on them. Vanilla was on vacation and asked if I could take care of her daughter while she was gone. I walked over to the table with Cream's food and sat it in front of her. She put some syrup on her pancakes and began to eat. I wandered into the kitchen once again and grabbed my plate. As I sat down, I heard a knock on the door. I walked to the door and looked through the peephole. To my surprise, it was Sonic! Quickly, I opened the door and give him a big hug.
"Hey, Ames." he said.
"Hey, Sonic!" I blushed.
"You, um..heh..wanna go to the mall with me?" he blushed back at her.
"Okay! Lemme' go put some clothes on..c'mon Cream!" I shouted as I raced up the steps. Cream finished her food and scrambled out of her seat. "You can sit on the couch, if you'd like." she smiled and took off up the staircase. Sonic shook his head. Girls these days, he thought. I grabbed my cutest outfit and helped Cream put on hers. We ran downstairs and saw Sonic waiting on the couch. He turned around and gasped at me. I had on a cute pink tank-top and some tight, black skinny jeans with hot-pink pumps. "Whoa..you look...cute. Heh-heh." he blushed. "Arigatou." I replied. We walked out of the door and went to Sonic's car. He put the keys in the ignition and the car rumbled. He turned the radio on and put a CD in. The music started playing when I realized that it was one of my Cd's! "Oh my goodness, how did you get my CD!" I asked him. "Well, when you were upstairs getting dressed I snuck out a CD from your entertainment center and took it with me." he grinned whiled turning it up. I just stared at him. "You little..ugh!" I shouted through the wind. "Coming up on Megalo Boulevard, there is a slight 10-minute slow-down, but nothing to massive. Be sure to keep listening to 102.9 Metal City's Hip-Hop and R&B! Back to you, Antoine!" exclaimed the traffic reporter. We headed towards Megalo Boulevard and had to stop. There was a really bad wreck. It involved an eighteen wheeler and about four cars. The truck exploded and ran into a car that was going pretty slow. That car hit another car and another collided with another. Ambulances and many other cars were on the scene. “My goodness, Amy! Look at that car! It flipped over!” Cream pointed as we rode past. “I know, right?” We passed up the vehicles and got off at the exit. We finally arrived at the mall and parked the car. Sonic got out first and opened our doors."Thank you." I tell him. We walked to the entrance and entered. The music played as my heels padded the ground. Wow, this place has changed, I think as Cream poked at my arm. "Amy, can we go to the Clothes 4 Kids section later?" She asks me. "Yeah, sure" I said staring at a board that said BIRTHDAY. Oh shoot! I almost forgot Sonic's birthday is in a couple of months! I haven't even bought a birthday present!I'm so STUPID! I gatta hurry, I think. "Amy? You okay? Am-" Sonic was cut off. "Oh sorry, I was in deep thought, Ha ha." I assured him. "Okay, what store do you want to go in first?" he asked. "Um... how about the swimsuit store?" I asked. "Okay." he shrugged. We walked in and started to shop. I started to pick out swimsuits when I found the perfect one! It was pink with white polka dots, and I found another one! This one was almost the exact same except it had white stripes. I walked over to the fitting room and closed its door. I tried on the polka dot one first and walked out to show Sonic and Cream. Cream and Cheese thought it was beautiful while Sonic just stood there with his mouth agape. "Well..you gonna say something?" I asked the stiff being that stood in front of me. "Whoa.." he was completely speechless. "Why don't we get something to eat,I didn't get to eat anything this morning." I ask. "Hai!" he replies. I go back into the fitting room and put my clothes back on. I came out and started to walk to the food court, when I heard a shrill scream. "What happened?!" I ask running toward the voice. I was surprised to see Cream sitting on the floor with tears in her eyes. "What's wrong, Cream? Where's Cheese?" I wonder. "That's the problem, she's gone! I was walking out of the store, when all of a sudden, this man just pushed me down and took Cheese!" she was now crying again. "Well you know what, Cream..we're gonna hunt him down and show him no mercy, no remorse!" Sonic jumped into the conversation. Wow, Sonic that was so frickin' random, like the kid will believe THAT! "We will?!" she stopped crying and wiped the tears off of her cheeks. I stand corrected. I grabbed my purse and followed them outta the store. We ran until we bumped into a few familiar faces.
"Shadow? Shade? Sky? Who's that?" I asked. "Hey.." they all said together, except for the young child standing behind Shadow. He was a skinny little boy, but in good shape. His head was full of white hair and his teal blue eyes gleamed as he blinked. He had on a white rash guard that had three letters in the middle. RTD. He smiled and waved at them, "Uh, what a coincidence!" Shade interrupted the long stare between the group. "Yeah, what a...coincidence.." Sonic agreed. "Well, um now that we ran into you, do you think you could help us find Cream's little Chao, Cheese?" I asked kindly. "Aah, it's about this big, pretty wide, and it's blue." Sonic added. "Sure thing!" Sky said. "Hey, Cream, do you have something that could give off a scent?" Shade asked. "Um, as a matter of fact, I do! I still have its little toy! It's right here!" She gave it to her and smiled. "Demetri, you hear anything?" Shadow asked. "Nope. Dad can we go? I've got dance practice in twenty minutes and I'll be late if we don't leave now." he answered. "DAD!?" Sonic, Cream, and I all yelled. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait one minute! You mean to tell me that you had a CHILD at a young age!?" Sonic went nuts. "Um, that's pretty hard to explain... especially at a time like this.." Shadow blushed. That was one of the first times Shadow actually blushed since his beloved Maria's death. "He looks familiar." Sonic rubbed his chin. "Yeah, who is his mom, Shadow?" I asked him. "Um, can we PLEASE find Cheese, NOW?" Cream was getting a little impatient. "Yeah, let's go!" Sky managed to change the subject.
Shadow turned and walked away. He felt he could no longer show his face. He covered it. His was down the whole time and he began to follow behind when he was the one who was needed in the front. We searched high-and-low for Cheese. In almost every store possible. During that time, I got to learn a little more about Shadow and his siblings. Cream kept asking Richi crazy questions like, 'Are your teeth really that sharp?' or “How did you get your hair color like that?' Every time Richi answered her questions, she'd blush. I had to agree that the boy was cute for his age. "Dad, you okay?" the boy slowed down to walk with his father. "Yeah, I'm good.." he was silent as he walked. "I'll tell you when we get home, okay?" he replied. "Uhm," the 11 year old replied back. Shadow stopped dead in his tracks and sniffed the air. "Oh my Gosh! What is that smell?!" he held his nose. "What's it smell like, bro?" Sky asked. Normally, I would take action and be the first one to do something, but today, I'm quiet...Wow, I really didn't realize that until now. "Ames..you alright? You've been zoning out lately.." Sonic stated a fact. "Oh! I'm fine! Don't worry about me!" I reassured him. He just looked at me with that face. That face..it just catches me off guard completely! "It's this way! C'mon!" Richi ran. They ran and ran and ran. It felt like hours of running! Richi stopped and gasped. There on the cold, hard, wet ground was the blue Chao. "What is that thing?!" Richi flinched. It lay there and bleed slightly. "CHEESE?!?" Cream cried. She ran over and picked up the little blue friend slightly. I could literally feel tears well up in my eyes as Cream sobbed over her little friend. "What will I do? No! No! No! No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO!!!!! You can't leave me here alone, Cheese!!!" She cried and sobbed and shook her head side to side.
Sky nudged Shade and whispered, “Dramatic! Isn't she, like, 11 years old?”
"Ya' know, Cream...I never really told any one this, but...I do have something that can fix your Cheese, if you'd like." Richi offered. "You'd do that.. for me?" Cream turned and walked to him. "Yup." he smiled. She smiled back and said, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you SO MUCH!!!!" Running in a circle. Cream gave him a big hug.
"Oh, shit! You gatta be at practice in like 2 minutes! C'mon, let's go! Sorry guys!" Shadow looked at his phone.
"Wait! Shadow! Uh, Knuckles is having a little get-together at his house and wanted to know if you want to come!" Sonic told him.
"Okay, what time? I need his address and what should I wear?" he replied. “
Here's my number, his number, here's Knux's address, and wear anything." he told him.
"Okay, hey, listen, is Rouge gonna be there?" Shadow asked curiously.
"No, she said she was busy this weekend."
“Humph, I expected that. Stupid GUN. I wanted to tell her tha she can see her son again. Okay, I'll be there." he told him while catching up to his family. Sonic was condused as Shadow assured him about tha and not to worry because he would find out later. "Sonic, Cream, and I ran the opposite way. "Good decision, Sonny! It'll be great for the two to get to know each other." I said to him. "After all, Knux does like Shadow. But he said that Shadow was just cute! Yeah right! He knows he likes him! I can imagine them together now." Sonic said. "Yeah. They seem like they have a lot in common! Like... they're both quite, live alone, sorta, they'd be a good couple!" I told him. We kept running to the car and finally Sonic said, "Race ya'!” And he sped off, leaving Cream and me to catch up with him...
