       Double Dinner (Sonic,Shadow,Umi, & Sonya) 
       By: Sonic Date: April 2, 2018, 3:27 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       It had been a long and crazy day for the group that Sonic had
       built up over the course of his afternoon. With all the events
       that transpired Sonic was relived as his backside touched down
       on the padded seats of a well lit booth. The foursome had
       decided on dinner at the finest barcade in town, it was
       essentially a rustic bar crawling with retro arcade machines.
       The interior was a hardwood floor and an oak bar, the entire
       space being illuminated dim lighting and the glow of the games
       that beeped away in the far corners of the establishment. Sonic
       still couldn't believe he was about to share a meal with Shadow
       but it didn't feel right for him to leave his enemy out the
       assistance he provided today.
       Parking at a table he looked to the others before whooshing past
       them placing menus in their hands. "Order anything you like
       tonight guys, it's on me. I bet we could all use a decent a feed
       after that fiasco huh?" Not that he'd ever admit it but Sonic
       was tired drained both physically and mentally, between
       Shadow,Scourge and worst of all Sally his mind needed a relaxing
       break. "I'll pay for the food but I hope you all brought coins
       for the games, I don't carry and shrapnel, gets in the way while
       running." While Sonic didn't like Shadow and was annoyed that
       Umi had tried to drown him earlier that day he also showed he
       trusted them as he had let his guard down.

       [i] Sonya was sure that, the others was feeling just as drained
       as she was right now. With everything that happened, it was all
       still very much processing in her mind, from Sonic and Shadows
       fight, to the mess of the coffee house destruction, and then
       finally the green hedgehogs unexpected departure. Now it wasn't
       that she didn't think the criminal was undeserving of the fate
       he received, after all he was the cause of a lot of grief for
       the Freedom Fighters in the past, and various stories that
       Sally, Bunnie,and the rest of the team told her about the
       hedgehogs schemes before she properly joined them was far from
       agreeable in her eyes. It was just the way it happened, was
       difficult for her to adjust to, luckily she was a lot more
       emotionally grounded than she used to be, and her training
       helped in masking her emotions outright, but the urge to curl
       up, and just erase the past couple of hours from her head was
       strong and she still felt like she wanted to cry. Among
       everything else, she felt bad, that she hadn't automatically ,
       asked Sally to come along, still it wasn't an entirely wrong
       footed move, they'd had quite enough tension for one day.
       Only just managing to tune into Sonics hearty offer, she offered
       up a thin smile that didn't quite meet her blue hues.
       "That's nice of you Sonic, but i don't really have much of an
       appetite at the moment, a Coke will do."
       
       She wasn't going to elaborate on the reason for her lack of
       appetite, but it wasn't going to be difficult to connect the
       dots. Regardless of the dreary mood threatening to loom over
       them, she still wanted them all to try and have fun. So
       producing her coin purse, she took a peak inside, seeing that
       while she didn't have a load of coins on hand, she still held
       enough petty cash, to get them through a handful of decent
       machines. Closing her purse, she turned her head slightly
       towards Umi, her attempted smile still in place.
       "I.. have a few coins Umi, if you need any extra."
       Pausing for a beat, the female allowed her ears to half droop,
       as she placed her hands in her lap.
       "Er.. when everyone knows what they want to order, tell me and
       i'll go up and order.."

       By: Shadow the Hedgehog Date: April 4, 2018, 2:14 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Shadow arriving much later than the others, parked a chair
       across from Sonic and Sonya, as usual he folded his arms
       sporting his trademark poker face, stern eyes observed his
       surroundings momentarily stared at the series of arcade games.
       He watched people insert coins into the machines to play the
       game of their choice, that explains the purpose of those coins.
       "Coffee beans" his attention is darted to Sonya making a
       request, short and straight to the point.
       He promised he will meet his arch rival here to have dinner with
       his friends, personality he would rather complete assignments
       for the government or tend to his own business affairs. In truth
       the reason he tagged along is to monitor Sonic's behavior, to
       keep him in check from doing anything out of character.

       Re: Double Dinner (Sonic,Shadow,Umi, & Sonya) 
       By: Umi Date: April 5, 2018, 1:43 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Umi was along for the ride as the pair of girls settled down in
       a somewhat melancholic state. There were so many events that
       occurred today that were either frighteningly reflective (such
       as almost drowning Sonic) to trying to prevent the
       marketplace--heck, the whole town--from completely crumbling
       down due to all the male hedgehogs' "fighting boners" (or, at
       least that's how a "friend" of her's described their
       tendencies). Maybe by the night's end the water 'hog will earn
       genuine acquaintanceship or maybe even a friendship...
       "I.. have a few coins Umi, if you need any extra."
       Jolted from her thoughts, Umi smiled pensively before shaking
       her head. "No thanks, Sonya, but thanks. It's really kind of
       you," she replied graciously before stood up abruptly and
       bursting with a fumble of words. "Oh, uh, I would like to just
       grab a London fog latte--I'll go give the specifics on it at the
       register, so....I guess I'll come too, then, Sonya." Up and
       ready to go, she went over to stand next to Sonya, honestly
       unsure what would transpire if she was stuck with Shadow
       suddenly all alone or what awkwardness would ensue if she stuck
       around Sonic by herself...

       Sonic chuckled at Shadow's request as he clenched his fist while
       lowering his voice attempting to mimic Shadow. "Don't you mean
       you mean[shadow=red,left] I'll take it black, like my
       heart!"[/shadow] Clearly amused by his own playful antics he
       couldn't help but notice the girls tended to flock together
       leaving him with Shadow. Sonic looked over to the black hedgehog
       who was clearly unamused by his joke and spoke so quietly the
       girls wouldn't hear. "Look thanks for the hand today, I'm not
       letting you off the hook for that business with Infinite but I
       appreciate the assist with whoever that green loser was; But
       what a way to go, vaporized from space. Not that the twit didn't
       deserve it but I can't help but wonder what coulda done that?
       The Death Egg has been offline for weeks and Eggman couldn't get
       to it without us noticing. What do you think is going on? Any of
       that secret intel to share?" He asked inquired placing his hands
       on the table as he leaned forward.
       The girls didn't have to wait long until a cheery bunny in a
       frilly apron took their orders and presented them with whatever
       they desired. She had a strangely judgemental look upon her face
       as she dropped a bag of coffee beans onto their tray with the
       rest of the normal orders. The night was young and their were so
       many games to play as they got to know each other over drinks;
       there were fighting,dancing,fishing,shooting,racing and even
       skill crane games, all waiting for the hedgehogs and fox to
       enjoy.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       [i] Sonya couldn't help but feel thankful for the temporary
       distraction that getting up to get refreshments provided. being
       left alone with Shadow wouldn't have been the most gracious
       start to her night, with her track record with strangers not
       being a great generally, but with the individual who was the
       very cause of so much pain and misery for so many mobians, it
       was almost to much, and she knew she'd have to watch herself
       this evening or she would snap without question. And as for
       making small talk with Sonic, for a change she actually didn't
       feel like talking to him beyond pleasantries either, and to make
       things worse, she knew he'd want to. Her thoughts felt like a
       complicated whirlwind. She just wasn't quite sure what to focus
       on first, and not having a handle on things distressed her. On
       top of someone dying today, there was the marketplace to think
       about, sure her and Umi managed to prevent damage control for
       most part, but what if civilians was still panicking about
       everything?, they'd literally just started rebuilding the city,
       and thanks to Sonic and Shadow it'd almost come crumbling down
       instantly. Her ears drooped moderately at the idea.
       The bunny waitress the centre of her attention, she assured a
       amicable smile was spread across her muzzle. Although the
       slightly judgement look that passed her features upon request
       for coffee beans alone, didn't go unnoticed by her. Picking the
       tray up carefully, she turned towards the direction of the
       table, only to pause, to speak Umi.
       "Hey, um .. i'm really glad you came along tonight, i don't
       think i would of held out half as well alone."

       Indeed Shadow is unamused listening to a poor imitation of his
       own voice, rather than speaking about his antics he raised one
       eyebrow. When the two ladies left to register their orders
       leaving the boys alone, he half expected an insult flung at his
       expense, instead in a strange turn of events that subtly
       surprised Shadow, Sonic genuinely started a conversation with
       the brooding individual that didn't trigger his fight for flight
       response for once.
       "So I'm not the only one, he did seem more...passive than usual,
       too late to do anything about it now" to him all Scourge's are
       the same no matter where they came from. His order arrived
       prompted the ultimate lifeform to chuck a single coffee bean in
       his mouth, the bitter taste of the treat meld on his tongue,
       just the way he likes it.
       "Our intelligence division has been tracking Eggman's
       whereabouts for weeks after he disappeared, we haven't found any
       clues so far" he popped another coffee bean in his mouth,
       chewing much quicker than the first. "That being said, if that
       laser strike came from the sky, I'll report it so they can check
       it out," he reassured.

       By: Umi Date: April 6, 2018, 4:03 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The blue wetsuit-wearing hedgehog looked up from swirling her
       newly acquired earl grey tea with milk (aka. London fog latte)
       to look at the fennec fox rather tentatively...at least at
       first. Being one to not really have very much faith in her own
       abilities, it was nice to hear from someone that they
       appreciated her efforts--despite how small they may be. It
       wasn't like Umi was particularly the greatest at controlling her
       powers quite yet (considering her current track record), but if
       she can make baby steps towards using her powers for good with
       the help of someone beside her then it will be worth it.
       Smiling a bit obviously now, Umi nodded at the other girl with
       more confidence. "Yeah, I am happy to come along, as long as
       you're here." It took a moment of silence to realize how that
       must've come out, but she didn't know if she should awkwardly
       deny it or just go along with it. She surprisingly decided the
       latter and moved on. "Anyway, it's good to have someone in on
       this whole ordeal. I cannot imagine going back to that table to
       face all..." Umi pointed over in the boys' general direction,
       she trailed off before dully adding, "...that." Clearing her
       throat, she moved along. "Anyway, then again, maybe we should go
       over there in case they decide to fight again. Duty calls as
       always for mediators like us, 'know what I mean?" She added as
       casually as possible, taking much from her moth--friend. There
       was much she needed to learn from her...and from her own past
       mistakes, recent or not.
       Leading them along back over to the table, Umi helped distribute
       the drinks amongst the four of them from the tray Sonya was
       holding before turning to Sonic. "Hey, so...about all of that
       earlier..." she gestured with a sweeping motion to a random
       side, "I'm still really sorry for what I almost did to you...so
       I wanna make it up to you somehow. Is there anyway I could repay
       you for not insta-killing me back then or now...or yet?" She
       finished more quietly and rather sheepishly than when she
       started, utterly aware that the other two probably had no idea
       what she was even talking about, one; two, the fact that Sonic
       could've been just distracted with the whole Shadow and Scourge
       thing to pay attention to his revenge on her yet; and/or three,
       she's just embarrassing herself right now and there's nothing
       else to it.

       Sonic nodded upon Shadow sharing the news of Eggman's activities
       while simultaneously cringing at Shadow grinding raw coffee
       beans between his teeth. Shuddering his ears perked up hearing
       Umi apologize, his tone was understanding as he responded. "Umi,
       relax real heroes never kill and if I held a grudge against
       everybody who almost offed me, do you think I'd be sharing lunch
       with Mr. Sparkling personality over there?" He asked gesturing
       towards Shadow before taking a sip of his cola. Honestly Sonic
       was growing tired of seeing the girls look like sad bags of
       anxiety and decided to change that. "You wanna pay me back you
       gotta do two things. The first thing I want you to do is to
       train hard to focus those powers, the second thing I want you to
       do is come dance with me." The blue hero grabbed Umi's wrist
       dragging her over to the Dance Party Remix machine, he dropped a
       coin he'd snagged from Sonya into the slot and jumped onto the
       game pad. He closed his eyes with his back to the screen,
       lightly tapping his foot as the music started. Then the beat
       dropped and the game began.
       "Player One, show us what you got!" The dancing game's speakers
       sang out. Arrows on screen came flying up the monitor and Sonic
       easily matched the directions with his feet, hitting each arrow
       with perfect timing. With a satisfied smile he leaned back
       against the metal bar the game had and gestured towards the
       orange hedgehog as her turn came up. "Player Two, let's shoot
       for that high score! READY OKAY!" Arrows came flying up Umi's
       side of the screen and the dance pad flashed waiting for her to
       get her groove on.
       Seeing she was hesitant Sonic tapped his foot while placing his
       hands on his sides. "I'm waaaaaaiting." He belted out expecting
       her to get a move on. "Come on, get the lead out girl."

       [i] "Duty calls as always for mediators like us, 'know what I
       mean?"
       The fennec knew exactly what she meant. the means to
       diplomatically negotiate was never done. And she would be damned
       if those two ignorant hogs thought they was going to even
       consider round two on her watch. Not even bothering to fix her
       usually formed perky smile on her muzzle, the female settled for
       a cool look of indifference, the joyous gleam to her blue irises
       unusually absent. Unaware, she was gripping the tray so tightly
       that her knuckles had turned an unnerving pigment of white.
       After helping Umi divide up the remaining drinks, prior to
       Shadow taking the coffee beans she'd taken an uncharacteristic
       move, letting her passive aggression get the best of her, she
       waited until after the black hedgehog was finished eating to
       toss the bean packet at him, as if she was flinging something
       she wanted to discard, and that the coffee packet touching her
       fingertips was painful. Anyone that made a comparison to her and
       her father now certainly would of seen the similarities between
       her and the well known Duck. Down to the no nonsense expression,
       just to the way she overall presented herself. The kindness that
       she'd extended to Umi, only mere moments ago was no where to be
       seen, as she settled herself slowly back into her seat,
       adrenaline working its way through.
       Cupping one hand around her soda, she drummed her free
       fingertips soundlessly against the table, attempting to channel
       her inner fury into something else for the rest of the evenings
       sake, not that it was working. Although Sonics well timed
       distraction did get a slight turn of her head. if there was one
       thing he liked doing best, it was showing off his gaming
       'superiority.'
