Part 2 How Opposites Meet - Shadilver

Part 216

When Espio and Silver returned home, they got greeted by their cats. On the way home, they had gone to the grocery store to get some ingredients for dinner.

Espio felt curious about why Silver had followed Shadow through the hallway after their lessons and what they had talked about. But he didn't know if he wanted to ask, maybe because he was scared of the answer but also because Silver was so upbeat today and he didn't want to spoil their fun. They were so excited for the upcoming two days.

After Silver had fed the cats, they put on some music on their phone and leaned it against the fridge as they started helping Espio in the kitchen with dinner. Silver had a hard time standing still with the music on as they were so looking forward to tomorrow.

Espio chuckled at seeing Silver so happy and acting rather silly. They bumped their hip against Espio's to try and get him moving to the music as well. When the song 'Sweet Home Alabama' was on, they sang with it. Silver took Espio's hands away from his chopping task and moved him with them to the music and started to sing. Espio rather quickly took over the lead as he was a way better dancer than them, at least when it's about ballroom dancing.

"Sweet home, Alabama
Where the skies are so blue

Sweet home, Alabama

Darling, I'm comin' home to you"

Silver sang, and Espio turned them in his arms and swayed them from left to right with the music.

"Seeing all the artefacts, I can't wait"

They continued, which made Espio frown curiously as he didn't recognise this verse.

"

Learning all the stories of the old

In the museum, it's gonna be great"

Espio laughed at Silver's made up lyrics for the song, which made Silver smile brightly.

"So much history to unfold"

"Sweet home, Alabama"

They continued together. Espio listened closely when Silver changed the words again.

"Zoo day comes right after

Watching animals, what a laughter

Hoping for red pandas to see

Wildlife wonders to experience for me"

"That's so bad," Espio laughed at their silliness.

"I know," Silver said with a big grin, "I can't just wait till it's tomorrow!" They squealed excitedly and stamped enthusiastically with their feet on the floor. "It's going to be so awesome, I've wanted to go to a museum ever since I was little," They rambled. "I've heard they have a big dino T-rex skeleton right at the entrance and a room with a moving planetarium, displays of the people in different time periods, gem stones, earth quick simulation and I can't wait to see the mummies, it's going to be so creepy, but the best day of my life!"

Espio chuckled and pulled them into his arms, "I'm so happy to see you so excited for this. We are going to have a great time. I promise you, in our winter break I'm going to take you to an art museum."

Silver's eyes started to sparkle as they gasped, "Really? Which one?"

"That's still a surprise," Espio said with a sweet smile and booped their nose.

Silver thought for a moment, "I bet we are going to the Modern art gallery of Green Hill," They said.

Espio frowned, "Why do you think that?"

"Well, it's the closest."

Espio grinned, "The only thing I'm going to say is, it's not that one, we will be going a little bit further for our trip."
