Broken Leg

Chapter 4 Dating Dangers

Sonic and Shadow are at the movies sitting in their seats waiting for the ads and previews to be over. In between them is a bowl of popcorn.

    "If you keep eating like that, Sonic, we'll have no popcorn for the movie." Shadow says, with a smug look on his face of both I love this guy and why am I dating this dult.

    "Look I've got zero self control okay and you're going to have to deal with that." Sonic says, folding his arms and looking away with a pout.

    "You're adorable when you're angry." Shadow says, admiring his little upset face.

    "You know I'm the one who bought the popcorn."

    "You said that since I bought the tickets you'll pay for the popcorn, I was going to be the one to buy it."

    "Hmph." Sonic grumples, pouting even more. The lights then dim and Shadow and Sonic watch the movie. It's an action thriller per Sonic's request. After the movie ended Shadow and Sonic both got up and are both walking.

    "I've seen better." Shadow says, while throwing away the empty popcorn container. 

    "You kidding, that was the best of the trilogy though the characters did have the same ark as in the first movie which is kinda disappointing. For a movie adaptation though it was good, as good as the book if not better" Sonic and Shadow leave the movie theater but are then stopped in their tracks by Amy.

    "Hey there, what are you guys doing, together." Amy says, eyeing them suspiciously. Amy hadn't been told that they had started dating because they knew she'd be jealous, the only people who knew were knuckles, Tails, and possibly Rouge though Sonic hadn't been told that she was informed he figured Shadow would tell his best friend. Both Shadow and Sonic were pretty set on letting it be less of a public thing, especially since Sonic was the main staple of the town, he starts dating Shadow and the news will eat it up.

    "Oh you know just hanging out." Sonic says, one of the best lies he has ever told, he was a pretty bad liar.

    "Since when do you two 'hang out'" Amy says Doing air quotes.

    "Since I broke my leg. All that time together we found out we had more in common than we realized."

    "Yeah, all that time together and you two fell in love, thought ol' Ams wouldn't find out huh."

    "What? In love? That's absurd." Sonic's amazing lying fell apart in a second and even if Amy was guessing before she's set now.

    "Maybe I should do the talking." Shadow says, rolling his eyes at Sonic's lame excuse for a lie.

    "Hmph." Sonic says, not wanting to object cause he knew Shadow was right.

    "So, you two are on a date."

    "Yeah, and?" Shadow says, with a much better voice than Sonic had.

    "I don't think you should be."

    "Any evidence? besides your jealousy." Shadow says. He'd been in court before. He was sure he could debunk anything Amy said.

    "Sonic said in the past that he wouldn't date Percy or Stacey because it would distract him from stopping Eggman. So he can't date you because it will distract him from Eggman." Amy says, with a confidence that was terrifying.

    "You said that!?" Shadow stares at Sonic with a look of 'WHY!'

    "Well I wanted to date Amy at the time and since she fought Eggman and they didn't, which was really the only difference between them, I used it to get them off my back, saying they couldn't protect themselves."
