Love is War

[formlesstree4 18]

Chapter One

 

Not everyday can somebody wake up and realize that they are missing something. Sonic looked out on the horizon and sighed, feeling empty, eyes glazed over from the lack of sleep. He laid out on the giant Willow Tree that sat atop his hill, overlooking the ocean. Just in the distance he could see the floating island where Kunckles and Rouge lived together. Sonic let a smirk fly past his lips as he thought of the two.

 

Quite an odd couple...but I guess it works.

 

Stretching, Sonic decided to get off the tree, and took a flying leap off of the tree. He landed doing a roll and took off, letting the wind brush his spiky blue fur. His coat wasn't as bright as it usually was, which it hadn't been for quite some time. Something was on his mind, and even he couldn't put his finger on it. Sonic hardly paid any attention to where he was going, and nearly ran into several people if his instinct hadn't told him to watch out.

 

The city was bustling, people running in and out of malls, resturaunts, parks, you name it. Sonic didn't mind the crowds, or the people. In fact, he rather enjoyed their company, spending as much time as he could spare with the people he worked so hard to keep safe. Taking this into mind, Sonic jetted around the city, deftly avoiding people and made his way to the largest park in the city. He quickly ran up a tree and found a sturdy branch near the bottom. Lying down, he took in a breath of fresh air, and used his ears to observe the sounds.

 

Several times, he heard his name as people walked by and looked up. What he didn't expect was to feel a vibration on the branch. Opening his eyes, Sonic looked down and noticed a little kid was climbing the tree. A white rabbit that Sonic assumed was his mom, was looking up at him, with her arms wide open.

 

"Jimmy!!" his mom cried out. "Get out of there before you fall and hurt yourself!" She started to stomp the ground a bit to show her anger. But apparently Jimmy had other plans. This little 4 foot rabbit of beige fur, bright brown eyes, and a little pink nose was climbing up to meet Sonic. Carefully, the little rabbit wedged his way up and ended up finally coming to rest next to Sonic. After taking a few deep breaths, he extended his hand to Sonic rather quickly, as if he was in a hurry.

 

"Hithereimjimmynicetomeetyou!" he blurted out in one breath. The kid had a big toothy grin on, with his hand extended towards Sonic. Chuckling slightly, Sonic shook his hand.

 

"I'm pretty sure you know who I am Jimmy." he said with a laugh. "But it's nice to meet you!" Sonic took a glance back down at the mom, who seemed a little at ease, but still worried. He looked back at Jimmy, who was now rocking back and forth a bit on the branch.

 

"Ya know, Jimmy." Sonic started. "You should get back to her, she seems worried." Sonic said pointing down. Jimmy giggled a bit and looked back down at her, who was now glaring in anger. He flinched a bit at her face and looked back at Sonic with a puppy dog look.

 

"But she's so mad at me now!" he said with a pout. "Will you take me down? I'm scared." He shed a tear and looked back down at the mom, who was now motioning for him to come down. Sonic laughed a bit and leaned over, picking up the little rabbit.

 

"Sure thing Jimmy!" Sonic said happily. "Just one second..." Securing Jimmy in his grasp, Sonic leapt off the branch, landing on another one, while swiftly swinging on another one with a free arm. Bracing himself against the trunk, Sonic slowly lowered himself until he was low enough to jump out of the tree. He landed feet first and almost needed to tumble roll, but kept his balance. Sonic gracefully walked over to the now blushing mother and handed her Jimmy.

 

"I'm so sorry Mr. Sonic.." she said blushing. "He just gets like thi-" Sonic held up a hand.

 

"Don't." He said smiling. "There's no reason to apologize." Sonic focused on Jimmy who was still in his mom's arms.

 

"Now Jimmy," Sonic said. "Don't run off and scare this pretty lady scared like that." He ruffled Jimmy's hair with a laugh as Jimmy quickly shook his head to fix his hair. The mom blushed rather hard after Sonic said that.

 

"I believe I don't know your name." Sonic said extending a hand to her. "Obviously you know who I am, but please tell me yours!"

 

The female rabbit now looked extremely giddy with joy as she shook his hand. "I'm Allita...Allita Star." she said. "Would you care to come back to my place for a cup of coffee?"

 

Sonic smiled as he took in a deep breath of air. "I'd be delighted!" he proclaimed, beaming. Allita seemed practically beside herself in joy as she started to walk off in a direction. She motioned for Sonic to follow, and he did so, as the three of them walked out of the park.

 

Taking a few moments, Sonic looked over Allita. She was obviously a rabbit, with rather long ears that were brown at the tips, but slowly became more white as they got closer to her head. From what Sonic could see, her coat was pure white, which was rather unusual, since most rabbits had some color spots. She was roughly the same height as Sonic, and rather slim. Her eyes were bright blue, another unusual thing about her. Rabbit eyes were normally brown, but here's were clearly blue. Sonic kept his eyes from wandering to close to her chest, but couldn't help himself a glance. She could challenge Rouge in size, which made Sonic flush a bit. To top it off, she was wearing a floor length skirt, that was a beautiful shade of blue to compliment her eyes, and her top was pure white, practicallly blending in with her fur. She kept her hair tied up in a bright pink bow, and let her ears just hang there. Overall, Allita looked quite attractive, which made Sonic blush even harder. He just hoped she wouldn't notice. The whole time he was doing this, Allita was rather quiet, and seemed to be concentrating, as if she had to think hard to where she was going.

 

This continued for quite some time, and Sonic was beginning to wonder of Allita had forgotten where to go.

 

"Umm...Miss Allita?" Sonic said. "You do know where you're going right?" She turned around and looked at him, smiling slightly.

 

"Yes, we're almost there!" she said happily. Turning back around, Allita took off running, leaving both Sonic and Jimmy to chase after her. Sonic laughed a bit as he ran at a normal speed as to not fly right by them. After running down several streets, watching traffic blaze by, they crossed the street to a small suburban neighborhood. It seemed quiet as the three walked down the street. After walking past several houses, Sonic began to take in all the sights the street had to offer. The lawns were all green, properly cut, the hedges were trimmed evenly, hell even the trees seemed to be in a uniform shape that matched the branches. This neighborhood seemed to be the upside of town, and extremely well kept.

 

Closing his eyes, he took in a breath of air. Even the air seemed to be well kept! It was baffling, the entire area seemed to be glowing with life, as if completely devoid of the rest of the world, going at it's own pace. Sonic reopened his eyes in time to see Allita turn up a driveway towards a magnificent looking house. The outward impression made him feel as if he was walking up to a mansion, rather than a suburbian home. The white paint seemed fresh and new, the boards weren't splintered, the patio railings were well kept, despite being metal. Even the garage door seemed to sparkle a bit in the noon sunlight.

 

Allita quietly opened the door and walked in. Jimmy followed her as did Sonic. The moment Sonic walked in, he felt like he had stepped into heaven. The house smelled of freshly baked goods, and gave off a warm feeling. It was clean, tidy, well kept. The maroon carpet felt like his feet were gliding across the floor rather than touching. The wide open living room which could seat more people than Sonic cared to think, was clean. The simplistic couch bordered an Oak Coffee Table, which stood near a TV. Sonic sat down and took in the sights of the house while Allita walked back to her kitchen and grabbed a pot.

 

"Ummm...Sonic?" she called out, snapping Sonic out of his daze. "How do you like your coffee?" Sonic thought for a second before answering.

 

"Black with some sugar in it." He said, walking into the family room. He looked around and smiled.

 

"This is a lovely home you have here." Sonic said. "But where's everyone else?" Looking around, Sonic noticed that the house was deserted and nobody else was home.

 

Allita's eyes narrowed as she looked down. Sonic's mouth seemed to sew itself shut, regretting to ask that question. She took a deep breath while still preparing his coffee.

 

"They're....all dead." she whispered. "A tragedy occurred when we my family and I were traveling, more specifically, moving in here. Our moving truck exploded when the engine choked because the Oil container leaked. The spark ignited it, and..." she stopped there, tearing up slightly. "My father and mother were in the front seat. Jimmy and I were in the back..." A tear rolled down her face as she struggled to say the last lines.

 

"The explosion instantly killed our mom and dad." her eyes looking up and locking onto Sonic's. "My brother wasn't terribly injured, but I suffered burns all along my body..." She finished his coffee and walked out handing him a small mug.

 

"I'm lucky to have recovered completely." She grimaced. "The side-effect was that my fur wouldn't ever have color." Allita quickly regained herself and walked briskly back to the kitchen.

 

"I shouldn't have..." she started. "But...you asked and.." She was apparently frustrated that she opened herself up to someone she hardly knew, regardless of who it was. Sonic just smiled and started to sip his coffee when he glanced at the clock and realized what time it was.

 

God, it's nearly lunch time! I'm supposed to meet the gang at the resturaunt today!

 

Quickly standing up, Sonic set down the mug and dashed into the kitchen. Sonic stood behind Allita until she turned around, startling her. Sonic smiled and quickly held out his hand.

 

"I just realized I was meeting my friends at a resturaunt today, and I have to dash." Sonic said. "So I will have to drink coffee with you another time."

 

Allita looked down at his hand and shook it lightly. She blushed a bit at touching Sonic's hand. The blue hog smiled and took off out the door, leaving a blue streak along the way.

Chapter Two

Sonic couldn't believe he would be late to lunch! Dashing down the street, he took an unexpected right, nearly clipping a kid. He stumbled, jumping out of the way, and tumbled down the road a bit. After regaining his footing, and several people staring at him, Sonic took off towards downtown, weaving in and out of crowds, finally arriving at the resturaunt. A bright pink hedgehog was tapping her foot impatiently as he stopped right in front of her.

"Hey Amy!" Sonic said happily. "What's u-" Amy shoved Sonic to the ground and pinned him. She pulled out her hammer and glared at him.

"YOU'RE LATE!" she yelled, slugging him over the head. Sonic groaned and pushed her off, holding a sore spot on his skull.

"That one hurt Amy..." Sonic groaned. Slowly standing up, Sonic rubbed the sore spot and glared at Amy for a bit, who put away her hammer and walked into the resturaunt, Sonic following. The two walked over to a table near the back where Knuckles and Rouge were waiting patiently. Once Amy and Sonic sat down, a cute bunny waitress came over and took their order for drinks. When the waitress left Rouge looked at Sonic and Amy with a look of glee in his face.

"We have some news for you two." Rouge whispered excitedly. She looked back at Knuckles for a second, who sighed and nodded. Rouge turned back around and moved closer to Amy and Sonic.

"I'm pregnant!!!" she said. Amy squealed in glee and Sonic's expression of shock was more than enough to show what he felt. He quickly smiled and looked at Knuckles, who was just sitting there, looking at Amy and Rouge go back and forth with ideas about baby showers, room decorations, colors, and even the type of furniture wood to use. Sonic extended his hand to Knuckles.

"Bout time you got her done up." Sonic said with a smirk. Knuckles glared at Sonic but shook his hand.

"Wasn't really my idea at first." Knuckles said. "But her excitement seemed to get me going too, in more than one way." he said winking at the end. The unexpected humor caused Sonic to chuckle as he leaned back a bit in his chair.

The rest of the afternoon was a blur for Sonic, since the girls were going on and on about baby things and other girly things that Sonic wasn't really paying attention to. Before long, the girls had stood up and started to walk out of the resturaunt. Both Knuckles and Sonic gave them a questioning look.

"We're going out shopping!" Amy said, bouncing towards the exit. "We'll catch you guys later." With that, both Amy and Rouge ran out, giggling like school girls, going towards the mall centers in the middle of the city. Sonic sighed and looked at Knuckles, who's expression was a mix of shock and relief.

"Humph, looks like we get to foot the bill..." Knuckles muttered. Pulling out a wallet, Knuckles put out some money and stood up.

"That should cover it...I'm gonna go home." Knuckles said. With that, Knuckles walked out the door, pulled out a hoverboard, and took off, possibly towards his Island home. Sonic sighed and walked out of the small resturaunt. The evening sunlight gave him an unusual glow, reflecting off his fur, rather than being absorbed into it.

Pregnant....I wonder what the feeling is...joy? Happiness? Excitement? Hell, I'll never know...there's no girl I like in this city...

Feeling slightly depressed, Sonic slowly walked towards the park he was at earlier that day, watching people walk around him, giving him friendly smiles or waves. He returned their look with a small smile or maybe a wave, and slowly climbed his usual tree. Lying down, Sonic fell asleep on his perch, awaiting the morning sunshine to start the new day.

...

 

Allita sat in her living room, sipping her coffee. She sighed and thought over what had happened earlier.

I hope I didn't scare him off...he did bolt out of here really fast.

"This is why I don't make friends......" she whispered quietly, starting to tear up. "They all run away!" She dropped her coffee on the floor and started to cry in her hands. Jimmy came around the corner from the hallway and noticed his sister crying. He ran up to her and jumped on the couch, doing his best to bear hug her.

"What's wrong sis?" he asked her. "Why are you crying?" She looked up in surprise to see him, tears brimming along her eyes. She smiled and picked him up placing him in her lap and hugged him.

"Nothing." she whispered in his ear. "Nothing at all." Wiping the tears from her eyes, she slowly stood up, setting Jimmy on the couch. He sighed and looked at his sister. She seemed depressed by something, but he didn't know what. With a shrug he got up and followed her as the two walked into the kitchen.

"Why are you sad?" he asked Allita. "Why won't you tell me!" Jimmy felt his own tears come to his eyes. "You seem like this all the time, and I wanna know why!!" He started to cry and grabbed onto her legs, wrapping his arms around them. He wouldn't let go until she answered. Allita sighed and felt her own tears streaming down her face.

That brother of mine...ugh...

She turned around, her legs and skirt able to twist around in his grip. She picked him up and carried him in her arms as she took him back to the family room. She sat him down on the couch and sat next to him.

"It's rather....silly actually." Allita whispered. "But...I can't make any friends...never have." Despite her tears, Allita found herself smiling at Jimmy, who's eyes widened a bit. A smile passed his small lips.

"Don't worry Sister!" he said confidently. "I'm your friend!" Allita smiled at this and hugged Jimmy.

"Thanks brother." she whispered. "I'm yours too." For the rest of the afternoon, and well into the evening, the two sat on the couch, holding each other closely, and eventually drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

 

...

 

Knuckles sat in the Master Emerald cave, waiting for Rouge to get home from shopping. He sighed and started to pace a little bit. Knuckles seemed to get nervous while she was out. He didn't understand why he did, and this nervousness seemed to double when he found out she was pregnant.

"Maybe....I'm ready for this." Knuckles said to himself. "Maybe I'm ready to settle down...."

 

Closed off from love

I didn't need the pain

Once or twice was enough

And it was all in vain

 

Knuckles walked outside and stared out at the stary night sky, hoping to see Rouge coming home. Instead the bright full moon glared back down at him, casting terrifying shadows across the island. A cold breeze blew in from the ocean, causing Knuckles to shudder.

 

Time starts to pass

Before you know it you're frozen......Oooh....

 

 

Walking back into the cave, Knuckles jumped ontop of the large Master Emerald, and laid down on his back, taking in the heat it gave off. He allowed his mind to wander off to the future, after Rouge had their baby.

 

But something happened

For the very first time with you

My heart melted into the ground

And everyone's looking 'round

Thinking I'm going crazy....

 

He wondered if he would have a son. Maybe he'd be able to continue on protecting the emerald, or play sports. Hell, even just to rough house around and play around. That would be fun. He'd have someone else to take on his strength, train, raise as a true guardian.

 

But I don't care what they say

I'm in love with you

They try to pull me away

But they don't know the truth

 

But what if he got a daughter? Maybe he could raise her to defend the Emerald also. That thought made Knuckles chuckle. He'd let Rouge handle her really, since he doesn't seem to have a sensitivity meter. A sudden noise outside startled Knuckles. He jumped off the Emerald and dashed outside.

 

My heart's crippled by the vein

That I keep on closing

You cut me open and I.....

 

There lying on the ground, was Rouge. She was laiden in shopping bags and breathing heavily. She lifted her head up and noticed a rather concered Knuckles staring at her.

 

"I like shopping." she said with a smirk. "Hope you don't mind." Knuckles laughed a bit and picked up Rouge, bags and all. He kissed her lightly on the lips, and carried her inside. He picked up the bags off of her, and set them on the ground, keeping her in his other arm.

 

Keep bleeding

Keep, keep bleeding love

I keep bleeding

I keep, keep bleeding love

 

He gently set her down on their bed inside the cave. Knuckles followed suit, positioning himself right beside her. He wrapped his arms around her back and kissed her passionately. Her hands ran up his spine, causing him to shiver, despite the cave being warm from the Emerald's heat.

 

But nothing's greater

Than the rush that comes with your embrace

And in this world of loneliness

I see your face.

 

Knuckles buried his face into Rouge's neck, while his hands ran down her legs. He made a muffled grunt as her hand ran up the inside of his legs, brushing over his crotch.

 

Yet everyone around me

Thinks that I'm going crazy

Maybe, maybe....

Knuckles turned Rouge over and set her back to his chest. He ran his hands up her spine, while kissing her along her neck. The feeling of his warm hands along her rather cold back caused her to moan in pleasure.

 

But I don't care what they say

I'm in love with you!

You cut me open and I....

 

Rouge spun around and nuzzled herself closer into Knuckles. His warmth spread over her, as she looked up into his eyes.

 

"I..I love you so much." she whispered. Knuckles tightened his grip on her, pulling her even closer.

 

"I love you too." he whispered back.

 

Keep bleeding

Keep, keep bleeding love

I keep bleeding

I keep, keep bleeding love....

Chapter Three

 

The morning sunshine awoke Sonic out of a sound sleep. Yawning, the blue hedgehog stretched out, taking up the entire length of the branch. A small crack alerted Sonic as the entire branch fell, leaving Sonic in mid-air. With a yelp of shock, Sonic fell face first onto the ground. He stood up, massaging his nose, glad nobody was at the park yet. Brushing himself off, Sonic decided he should probably go to his house and grab some food. Faster than you can blink, Sonic took off towards the quieter outskirts of the city where he lived alone in his quiet house.

 

Weaving in and out of the early morning traffic, Sonic approached the suburbs where his house was at. Quickly jumping to the sidewalk, Sonic slowed to a normal walk and gradually get on the porch. Unlocking the door, he walked into the pitch black house and turned on the light. The harsh white light blared down on Sonic, making his eyes hurt as he walked to the kitchen. He carefully opened the refrigerator, grabbing a couple of eggs. Sonic smiled to himself as he started to hum a song, pulling out a pot, cracking the eggs, and proceeded to make himself scrambled eggs for breakfast.

 

...

 

Knuckles woke up with his arm around Rouges' waist. He carefully extracted his arm from under her and sat up, stretching carefully so he wouldn't disturb Rouge. Standing up, Knuckles walked off towards the kitchen took cook a little breakfast. He bent over, opening up the fridge when he felt a pair of hands wrap around his waist.

"You know, you are terrible at stealth." said a seductive voice. Knuckles chuckled and turned around, coming face to face with Rouge.

"I know, that's your field." he smiled. Knuckles pulled her closer and kissed her, allowing his tongue to slide in her mouth, teasing her. She squealed a bit in laugher as the two parted, breathing heavily.

"Heh, what do you want for breakfast?" Knuckles said, turning back to the refrigerator. "There's not much in here right now, but there's plenty for breakfast." Rouge smiled and jumped on top of Knuckles' back, surprising him.

"Holy shi-" he yelped. Quickly losing balance, Knuckles fell face first onto the floor and groaned.

"I hate it when you do that." he muttered. Rouge laughed as she let Knuckles get back up. As if to surprise her, Knuckles turned back around and tackled her to the ground, tickling her sides. She squealed in shock and laughter as the two rolled back and forth along the floor, each one trying to gain dominance over the other. After several minutes, Knuckles came out on top, pinning Rouge down. He smiled, satisfied, and gently lifted her up, holding her in his arms.

"I win." Knuckles said with a smile. Rouge rolled her eyes and laughed a bit.

"This time..." she said, kissing him lightly on the lips. Knuckles carried her into the kitchen, and together, the two cooked a massive breakfast that took most of the morning to cook, and even longer to eat it all. The meal consisted of nearly two dozen sausage links, maple flavored, eight large eggs, big and fluffy, and of course, two huge glasses of orange juice. The two sat down across from each other, and began to chow down, thoroughly enjoying their enormous feast.

...

After Sonic finished his breakfast, and cleaned up the kitchen, he decided to go for a small run. Carefully opening his front door, he stretched out a little bit, looking like a overgrown cat. Sonic then took off, running towards the center of town. Faster than you could count to ten, Sonic was already there, looking for a place to run his laps. Walking briskly between crowds of people in the early morning rush, Sonic bumped into someone with his shoulder, knocking over a white rabbit.

"Oops!" he said, rubbing his shoulder. "Are you OK?" He picked them up, realizing he knew the person.

"Allita...?" Sonic asked. Her trademark blue eyes locked onto Sonic's as she realized who knocked her over.

"Sonic?" she asked, surprised. "I wasn't expecting to see you!" She looked around and noticed Sonic was still holding her.

"You can put me down you know." she said with a small smirk, blushing slightly. Sonic blushed a little as well, setting her down gently.

"So..uh, what have you been up to?" he asked her. God..that sounded stupid!

"Well not much, just about to do some shopping soon actually." she said, looking overjoyed. "I hate the crowds, but love the fun I have when I shop...to bad Jimmy doesn't like to shop." She sighed. "It gets lonely sometimes." Sonic smiled a bit and extended his arm.

"Mind if I tag along then?" he asked. I can always to my morning run later. "I have nothing else to do right now."

Allita wrapped her arm around Sonic's, and the two walked towards the already bustling mall, housing the early morning crowds. The two caused several heads to turn, and Sonic swore he heard the clicking of cameras as they walked into the mall.

Is everyone overreacting a bit? I mean..I'm just holding her arm...

"Mr. Sonic?" a small voice cried out. Sonic looked around for a second but didn't notice anyone, until he felt a slight tug on his leg. He looked down to see a baby Hedgehog looking at him. The kid couldn't have been more than 3 years old, and seemed a little shaky. Sonic let go of Allita's arm, swooped down and picked up the child.

"What can I do for you?" Sonic asked politely. "And where is your mother?" The hedgehog giggled a bit and pointed to where his mother was standing, watching the two. She waved at Sonic, who waved back.

"Mr. Sonic, can I ask you a question?" the little hedgehog asked. He had some issues pronouncing the word 'question', which made Sonic chuckle a bit.

"Sure kid, what is it?" The hedgehog pulled Sonic's ear closer to his mouth.

"My mommy wanted to know if you were dating her, but she didn't want me to tell you that." he said with a toothy smile. Sonic laughed a bit.

"You can tell your mother that we are not dating, but friends." He said with a smile. Sonic set the little hedgehog down, and watched him run towards his mother. Sonic sighed as the little guy got picked up by his mother, who waved again at Sonic. Waving back, he turned around and grabbed Allita's hand.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!" Sonic said hurridly. Allita struggled to keep up with Sonic's fast walk, and eventually she almost tripped.

"Sonic! Slow down a bit." she said. "I can't walk that fast." Sonic slowed down back to his normal walk, and looked around. He breathed a sigh of relief, before turning back to Allita.

"Sorry about that." Sonic said. "I just hate the crowded area right there." Shit, she'll see right through that lie...

Allita nodded her head and looked down.

"You're still holding my hand." She stated. "Not that I have a problem with that, it's just that.." She blushed again, and Sonic quickly withdrew his hand, blushing even harder than her.

Sh*t..this is awkward. Sonic thought to himself.

"Uhh...you got some..shopping..to do?" Sonic struggled to get out. Allita giggled a bit and nodded, before turning around and walking off.

"You coming?" she asked him. I hope he does...I enjoy his company...

Sonic nodded and ran up to catch her, before the two took off towards one of the many stores Allita went to.

...

Several hours passed before Allita sat down in the food court. Sonic collapsed next to her, piled under several giant clothing bags. Allita giggled as he struggled to free himself from the load of bags.

"Ergh...little help here?" Sonic said, extending a hand. Allita couldn't hold herself anymore, bursting into laughter, holding her sides. The sight of Sonic piled under many bags was just to much for her.

"Hahahaha, oh my god, haha, wow." she said laughing. "You look...so hysterical!" Sonic sat there, twirling his thumbs waiting for her to stop laughing.

"You through yet?" Sonic said, reextending his hand. "I kinda want to get out of here." Allita nodded, still giggling, and took his hand. She pulled him out of the mess of bags, and sat him next to her.

"God girl! You buy the whole mall!" he said, laughing. She smiled and leaned back a bit, taking in the sight of all her bags.

"I did overdo it a bit today..." she said whispering. "I usually don't buy this much." She stood up and started to walk to the food counter. Before she could pull out her wallet, Sonic had already pulled out his own money and was handing it to her.

"My treat." Sonic said smiling. She smiled and took the money from Sonic, and realized, she had no clue what he wanted.

"Uhh...what do you want?" she asked Sonic. Sonic laughed and thought about it.

"A pack of crackers would be good." he said. "I suppose that's all." She nodded and bought two bags. The two sat down in the food court, quietly enjoying their snacks, while the afternoon crowd hustled around them.
