Just her luck.

[i]She should have expected this.
Yet Sonya had still held out hope that this time would be
different it looked like the joke really was on her. Here she
was sat all casually prettied up about an hour into a wait for a
guy that she knew wasn’t going to show. And if that
knowledge alone wasn’t already mortifying enough to pile
on that extra dose of almost overwhelming shame she was all to
aware of the curious and at the same time sympathetic glances
that other people around were stealing at her when they thought
she wasn’t looking. It was all to much she wanted out she
needed to at least try and preserve the remains of her dignity
that now hung very thinly in balance. But panic and anxiety were
gripping at her insides like a vice, and while she looked
composed and put together on the outside on the inside she was
falling apart. Her large ears tilting downwards being the only
open sign of her discomfort, the fennec forced a smile as her
waiter for the evening made his way back to her table to refill
her empty wine glass for what seemed like the thousand time.
Wanting to fill the awkward silence the female tried for small
talk that probably came off as a little to strained to be
realistic.
“..My date should be along any minute, you know traffic
and all.”

After not getting dozens of texts about what guys like from
Sonya, Sonic knew she'd been stood up and he was going to be
damned if he was going to let some two-bit lowlife break her
heart. Quickly skidding to a stop outside Sonic was hopping on
one foot pulling his suit pants on while he slotted his arms
into a dress shirt and silver vest. Once he reached the door he
finished fiddling with his tie before zipping into the vacant
seat at the opposite end of the table. "Traffic? Please I
wouldn't be caught dead in a car like some slo-mo, I'm just
fashionably late."
When the waiter gave Sonic a judgemental look he slipped twenty
mobiums into his breast pocket before lightly slapping the side
of his face. "Bring the lady a nice bottle of wine and me a
chilidog, CHOP CHOP!"
Giving an haughty huff the waiter rolled his eyes at the
obnoxious teenager. "I see sir will be ordering from the
children's menu. Madam has quite the charming date tonight." He
said with a heavy undertone of sarcasm. Sonic waved him off
dismissively as the waiter left to fetch the wine.
"Way I see it she's trading up. I know all your dreams are
coming true at once. Just breath an take it all in." He said
giving a playful wink and a hearty rocker sign with his fingers.

[i]Watching her friend handle the social situation with grace
the equivalent to a herd of stampeding elephants Sonya was
quietly thankful that she was very tipsy, OK she was a
lightweight so she was probably drunk after her second glass
wine, but she was ignoring the finer details. Her lips twitching
upwards ever so slightly, at his mention of being fashionably
late she rolled her eyes, and raised a neatly plucked eyebrow.
Now had she been in a more sober state of mind she would of
tried to save face much longer but between the intoxication and
her feelings of repressed sadness about her disastrous dating
attempt instead of trying to playfully scald him or mini lecture
him on not being pubic ally embarrassing, she found herself
draining the last of her wine, with one hand while cupping her
cheek and leaning against the table with the other hand, her
next sentence uncharacteristically defeatist. “Sonic
what’s wrong with me?” hearing such an insecure
question out loud she realised how needy that sounded, so she
quickly tagged on. “I mean obviously I know that men are
going to be intimidated because I’m the whole package in
looks and brains but.. you would think they’d at least
decide to turn up first .. “

Seeing Sonya's red face Sonic knew what came next all to well
that stage where the confidence alcohol provided was wearing off
into the depressing come down it developed into. "Ohhh screw
that guy. Way I see it he's missing out on a date with the
prettiest girl in Mobotropolis, if he's passing on a date with
you he must be blind, deaf, and dumb." Sonic thought back to his
previous relationship with Sally and how that ended deciding to
draw from that experience. "Look sometimes people just judge you
before they get to know you. Like Sal dumped me because she
thinks I'm immature. ME IMMATURE!? I dunno about you but saving
the whole damn planet over and over seems pretty mature to me."
Sonic raised his voice to a point where getting dumped was still
a sore spot for him. Clearing his throat he sat back down and
glared at the waiter who made a snarky response during his
outburst.
"Mr. Hedgehog immature? Perish the thought." The waiter gained a
sly smile as he dropped down Sonya's wine and Sonic's chilidog.
"The Lady's liquid courage and Sir's.........slop." He said
before finally walking away. The blue hedgehog leaned across the
table taking Sonya's hand offering it a reassuring squeeze.
"Yanno I've been thinking. We grew up together we know
everything about each other and just between you and me the
casual booty calls are fun to." He said with a playful wink
before making his point. "Nobody else really seems to get
us....why don't we try the dating thing? I know you're nuts for
me, I've seen your Sonic poster."

[i]Fresh pink seeping across her muzzle in response to the males
flurry of blunt compliments. Cringing internally at her friends
outburst she couldn’t help but think to herself.
‘Blue you’re proving Sallys point here..’ Not
that she would dare say such a thing out loud, she’d had
enough drama for one evening. Waiting until he was sat back in
his seat she shrugged, and spoke wearily. “Well in that
case a large majority of the male mobian population must be
blind, deaf, and dumb.. “ Fighting off the sudden fresh
urge to ball her eyes out, she took a few moments to overly
concentrate on pouring her next large glass of wine, though not
before she shot their waiter a disapproving look for his lack of
professional behaviour. Giving her friends hand an affectionate
squeeze back, she leaned in also listening to him attentively.
And as much as his proposition filled her with a giddiness she
couldn’t quite put a finger on, the suggestion was also a
worrying one.
Giving a small shake of her head, while she continued to lightly
caress his hands across the table, she phrased her next words
carefully.“Now under normal circumstances.. I
wouldn’t be anywhere near as agreeable in fear of
inflating your already huge ego.. but I am nuts about you .. and
you have no idea how much I want you.. but us dating you know as
well as I do that that would be one hell of a risk, I mean look
at how you and Sally turned out, you two can barely stand to
look at one another nowadays let alone be in the same room for
to long, I don’t want something similar happening to us
Sonic i can't have something similar happen with us do you
understand that? the thought of loosing you as friend is
terrifying enough as it is, but if we broke up romantically and
i lost you entirely.. i .. i don't think i'd be able to take
it..”
The more depressing side of the alcohol now getting the better
of her, the fox felt the tears begin to well up in her blue
eyes.

Sonic held his head up with his hands giving a disinterested
look as if he checked out at 'Now under normal circumstances'.
The blue hedgehog rapidly drummed his fingers across the table
before pushing his chilidog away. "I hate it when you make
sense." He sighed before looking out the window into the night
as if it were calling to them. "That night at the carnival was
wild you can't tell me you don't wanna relive that. I get
relationships are tricky and you don't want to loose your best
friend but can you really tell me you'd be happier spending your
Friday nights waiting around for losers who don't show up? These
jerks don't deserve you and how can you go back to eating mince
meat when you've got prime rib right here?" He said gesturing to
himself before pulling the wine glass away from Sonya. "I think
you've had enough........" Sonic then had a thought that made
him turn bright pink as he scratched at his damaged ear
nervously; whatever he was thinking was the last thing he wanted
to bring up but it was worth a shot.
"Remember that time we we're kids and you saved up all your
money to buy yourself that white sundress with the big bow tied
around the back? You were so excited when you finally got it you
blackmailed me into playing wedding with you. I remember it very
clearly because that was the weekend the monster truck show was
on and I was stuck playing house with you. If tiny Sonic missed
monster trucks to pretend to be your husband then big Sonya can
stop feeling sorry for herself and give me at least one date."

[i] “You really don’t get it do you?”
His openly disinterested expression chipping away at the remains
of her thin emotional armour. The fennec felt the fresh tears
trickle thick and heavy down her cheeks. “That night at the
carnival that was more than wild.. it was magical, surreal,
beautiful even .. and I would give anything to spend another
night like that with you.. and another .. and you get what I
mean but here’s the reality we both got caught up in the moment
.. relationships are more than just tricky! hasn’t whats
happened with Sally shown you anything? Look at how something
that lasted for so long and was so strong turned to nothing
[snaps her fingertips] do you really care for me that little
that you’re willing to just risk us like that? You sound
genuinely DIGUSTED whenever someone so much as starts a sentence
with an S name now .. but you know what the worst part of this
is? Through all your hurting and your anger sure everyone that
sees you thinks it’s just that but it’s not you’re angry with
her because deep down you still care and you can deny it all you
like but I know that’s the truth, and who can blame you?"
"When it comes to me and Sally there never really has been any
competition it’s her in a heartbeat and I respect that and I
will ALWAYS love you I .. god I’ve been in love with you for so
long and now you decide to finally ‘see me’ yeah right I can’t
Sonic .. and you have no idea how much this pains me to say but
if I give you one date then it’ll lead to another and I’ll just
end up loosing myself in you and that’s not healthy! I-I."
[stammering]
"I get that you’d be perfectly okay to experiment here because
well what does it matter if you loose me hmm? Then you can just
go around telling people how the big eared freak lucked out
getting to be your girlfriend temporarily anyway, well I’m not
going to let that happen I’m not going to be your rebound chick
because you can’t have the person your really in love with! AND
THAT’S HEARTBREAKING BECAUSE EVEN NOW ALL I CAN THINK IS WHY
WASN’T IT EVER ME FROM THE BEGINNING WHY NOT ME?!” Pushing
herself up from the table, the fennec was all to aware of the
multiple turned heads, due to her raised voice. Trembling, Sonya
slipped on her coat, now feeling like she was barely able to
breathe. Although she was faintly aware of another waitress
speaking to her. “Miss.. we’re going to have to ask you to
leave.” Her posture stiff, she hoisted her purse back on her
shoulder, before to turned on her heel and hurried out into the
night.

Watching Sonya storm out Sonic's lowered his ears and let out a
sad sigh. "Sonya, wait!" He called out as she dashed out the
door due to disturbing the other patrons. Now she had made her
exit the waiter dropped a bill before Sonic featuring quite an
extensive number. Raising an eyebrow the waiter held out his
hand. "Will that be cash or credit Sir?" The blue hedgehog shook
his head pointing towards the slip of paper he was desperately
trying to avoid.
"How do expect me to cover this? She paid my electrical bill
last month she's always there for....." Sonic gave pause to
reflect on what he had just said and face palmed before dragging
his fingers down his face pulling down his eyelids in a
stressful realization. "Of course our friendship means that much
to her. Still she probably woulda seen where I was coming from
if she wasn't sloshed. Dammit Sonya! Snapping out of his strain
of thought he looked back as he opened the door. "Just bill it
to the Acorn Family! They owe me one for all the times I've
saved their bacon." The waiter took the check while shaking his
head letting the hedgehog go.
Sonic caught up to Sonya in no time placing a hand on her
shoulder. "Sonya quit being a drama queen. You're always going
to be my best buddy and nothing is going to change that. Sal and
I fell apart because I couldn't handle how much disrespect she
was tossing my way. You and I have this mutual understanding
that revolves around respect."

[i] Pausung at the feel of his fingertips on her shoulder, the
fennec turned herself back round to face the blue furred one
directly, sporting a surprisingly calm expression with an
equally calm tone to match despite her earlier outburst. “.. I
don’t know what you expect me to say Sonic, don’t you think i’ve
summed things up enough for you already?”
That all to fimilar hurt slowly spreading throughout her chest,
the frazzled fencec took a few moments to take a small step
back, and quietly focus on her inhales and exhales, thankfully
the cool crisp evening air was doing wonders for clearing her
muddled head. Blue eyes re locking with his aqua ones, she
continued sadly. “Listen you know that i love you and i think ..
that you love me to but sometimes love alone isn’t enough, i
mean you say you’re sure about us now but what happens further
down the line when you realise that i’m not actually what you
want, what happens when you get bored and decide that you can do
better?”

Sonic placed his hands on Sonya's shoulders holding her at arms
length before reaching into his back pocket producing a small
box. "Crying and drunk was't exactly the picture I had in my
head when giving you this but if this will stop these when
somebody better comes along delusions well, nows the time."
Sonic open the box revealing a glittering gold ring with a
shimmering sapphire embedded into the center. He held up the
glistening circlet so her blue eyes could see this gesture of
dedication through her tears. "While we're both a bit young to
jump on the marriage wagon I hope this proves to you someday I'd
like to. Sonya this is my proof that come hell or giant robots
I've got my mind made up and there's no better option."
He placed his fingers under her chin gently lifting her head to
meet his then giving a gentle kiss before placing the box in her
hands. "Because you're the best." The stars glimmering in the
heavens above turned this sad scene into something much more
heartwarming. The blue hedgehog had decided to show his
dedication by making a promise when he was more mature he would
act on the greater meaning behind this ring.
