Angel Bells Ch. 7

"Bye, Sonic! Bye, Silver!" Amy waved, smiling. In each hands of the two guys were cute pink pouches of cookies from last chapter.

"Thanks for making extra cookies! You're such a great baker! Byee, Bestie!" Silver awkwardly waved goodbye as well, and bumped into a light post. "Ack-"

"Aheh.. you ok, Silver?" Chuckled the blue one. Who just stood by, watching him recover.

"Yeah- a lot of sleet out here!" He then slipped onto his back. As Sonic approached, he almost fell forward but balanced himself quickly. "Oh no you don't!" Silver pulled onto the other hedgehog's red scarf and pulled him down.

"AAHHHH-" Sonic collapsed onto his knees. And then proceeded to throw sloppy piles of snow at Silver.

Amy laughed at them from afar, thinking that it was funny. Slowly she closed the door and went to the kitchen, taking a seat at the messy counter.

She started thinking about that Gaialai Temple, wishing that it wasn't over. She sort of missed the Chaotix team and the rest of the expedition groups that were there too. Amy took in deep breaths, "Now that I think about it... if the words were replaceable and broken... could that actually represent something? Like a god? Ugh.. I wish I had resources to help me!" She then heard muffled buzzing coming from her living room. The rosy hedgehog went to investigate and found her phone on the table vibrating. It looked like a random contact number was calling her. Amy picked up the phone and put it on speaker. "Hello?" She spoke questioning who it was.

A familiar deep male voice responded, "Uh, good evening, Rose..." For a moment, Amy thought it was Mephiles, but realized that this voice was more hesitant and tense. Plus, Mephiles usually referred to her as "Miss Rose."

"Let me guess... Shadow?" She sat down on her sofa and lifted her legs onto the coffee table.

"Uhm.. yes, it's me..." Her ears tingled now with Shadow's voice. At this point she couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.

"I-I umm... I'm gonna a-assume that you want to apologize to me?" She descended her legs and curled up into a ball, her knees were up to her chest.

"Well... of course... I didn't mean to hurt you weeks ago.. I just had a lot through my mind and I couldn't contro-"

"Shadow, I forgive you already..." The dark hedgehog on the other phone sighed in relief, but still felt guilty. "Also, I still have your jacket, and I feel bad about keeping it.."

Silence crept everywhere. Shadow wasn't sure what to think of, but decided to speak honestly, "You can keep it, if you like it... I have more anyways."

"Sweet! uh- I probably should've washed the jacket earlier." She blurted out loud.

"How long have you... exactly washed it beforehand?"

"... Let's not talk about that!" Amy bit her bottom lip. She curled her quills.

"Heh... if you wish so." His voice tingled her ears once again.

"Thanks."

"Sooo... how was your day?" Amy could hear Shadow flipping over peices of papers. Must be reading something.

She sighed, "Where do I even begin?" The pink hedgehog then proceeded to tell him about Blaze, Silver, and then later on Sonic and what happened throughout her morning.

"Ugh... that faker..."

"Why do you hate him so much?"

"... At this point, I just can't stand him. He makes me so agitated for no reason, he even annoys or taunts me during work."
