Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW Fanfic Series)

Chapter 11: Silver and Aleyah ~ Part 3

"I was born in the hospital in Central City with my parents, Pearla and Bruce the Hedgehogs. I lived happily in the cottage with them. I grew up being socially friendly, extroverted, optimistic, energetic and well-mannered. I managed to make a lot of friends while exploring the outside world. We took Runa in when she was unconscious in the middle of Forest Hill.

"When she's officially considered as a sister, that's when Space Colony ARK came crashing into the world, but Sonic and Shadow stopped it from doing so, thus fighting off the Bio Lizard in Super Forms. Since then, I couldn't help but witness the battle to stop the Space Colony ARK from destroying the world. After Shadow sacrificed himself to save the world, I gave him honor just like how I give honor to the fallen.

"When I found out he's alive, I couldn't help but feel more excited. I was so excited that I always wanted to meet him in person and become friends with him. Or maybe best friends. No wait. Sibling-friends. No, wait. More than that! Oh, how I loved to be with him more than a friend and Shadow should feel the same way. I was so obsessed with him that I got completely carried away sometimes."

You can see Silver trying to play it cool, but he had a hint of jealousy on the inside when he heard that Aleyah had an obsessive crush on Shadow. Blaze was the first to notice as her lips stretched out a slight smirk. Now, she knew about Silver's secret crush on Aleyah, but she'd rather keep it to herself until they're official.

"At some point, Runa introduced me to Rosy and Mystico a week after Sonic and Shadow saved the day from the Biolizard. She said they took them in because they needed a friend to keep them company. Most especially Rosy since she really wanted to make new friends apart from Mystico.

"Then, a few days later, we went out to the park to have a morning picnic. After that, we played hide-and-seek. That time, I was the seeker. Runa was the last to be found since she was dealing with some kind of situation. That's where I met the hero chao twins, Bearace and Juniper. Their owner happened to be executed, so we took them in to make them feel like home.

"On that same day, we went to the mall to have lunch, then after that, we went shopping. Along the way, we saw Shania breaking down into tears in a small alley in the mall. We all went to comfort her, but it's mostly Runa doing so while the rest of us gave them personal space. That's because her owner abandoned her for some reason. Because of this, we took her in. Since then, the five chao got along with Runa so well they're considered as best friends."

That's when Aleyah explained to Blaze, Silver and Gardon about the times she and Runa planned their birthday party and how they did so last year when she got carried away with so many ideas running in her head. Then, she explained her life after their last birthday party. From delivering some party food leftovers to Jewel to having two amazing adventures with the Restoration helping her realize what she had been doing whenever she thought of Shadow.

"But it's a good thing Runa taught me a lesson about moving from my obsessive life to a better one. And so, I decided to move on from the past and focusing on the future."

As Silver, Blaze and Gardon were listening to Aleyah's life story, they were quite shocked to hear about the entire situation between Reuben and Runa, but they're also relieved that this nasty black cat won't end up with Runa. Not ever. Not only that, but they're also relieved to hear that Rosy's regaining her voice from time to time and also thankful for Aleyah's actions to transfer her obsessive life to a new one. Especially Silver.

"It's nice to hear you've moved on from your obsessive life," said Blaze smiling at her.

"Yeah! I could say the same with Blaze," said Silver with a relieving smile on his face.

"What? Ya jealous that I'll end up with any other guy?" Aleyah asked Silver with a teasing smirk on her face.

Then, she could feel his elbow nudging her left shoulder. His cheeks were heating up in embarrassment as he did so. "Leyah!"
