Back from Space

About 2:30 PM

Got time to write in a notebook, for once. Wow? Back from space! I was happy to see green again. Gray and black were getting old. Eggman isn't here, and Cosmo is…gone. But apart from that, everyone is happy and healthy, if not a little saddened by Cosmo's untimely departure. I feel bad for Tails. He seems to live life robotically, as if there is nothing for him. I miss Shadow, who saved my life and consequently the lives of my friends. I miss him…could this be love?

Spring (next day)

Noon

I'm guessing it's spring, which can't be too far off, although I don't know how late in spring it is, and dare I look at a calendar? The birds' nests have tiny eggs in them, foals and calves run and play in the fields of farmers, and I found that a mother deer had hidden her small fawn near the corner of my steps at home.

I was coming back from a run when I saw the telltale white spots. I looked close and saw a baby fawn, not two hours old, curled up near the corner of my steps, still as stone. I had half a mind to feed it, to let it become familiar with me. The mother deer was not far gone in deciding to place her baby at my doorstep. I don't think there are many animals who fear me. But, I decided to leave it be. The fawn saw me, watching with intelligent brown eyes—as intelligent as a deer can get, that is—and I was reminded how much I love baby animals. Guess that means I'm paying a visit to Brigit's!

Brigit's Animal Shelter, Next Day

9:00 AM

It's a bit early for me to be out, but I couldn't stay away. A new litter of kittens was found in a box outside of the animal shelter, and of course, being the hero I am, I couldn't let the cold wind hurt them. I fiddled with the lock and took them inside. Am in the process of looking them over now. Besides a tinge of malnourishment and a few fleas on some, they seem okay. After they get a flea bath and vaccinations, I'd give them a clean bill of health. There are six of them, all of various colors and sizes. I have to wonder if they're from the same litter. Here they are:

Orange tom with white belly and paws; green eyes

Black cat; gold eyes

White tom with black "eye patch"; orange eyes

White cat with gray "eye patch"; blue eyes

Black tom with gray paws and speckled paw pads; orange eyes

"Tiger tabby" cat; green eyes

They're so cute! I wish you could see them! The white tom and cat seem to get along well, and are kinda solitary. The rest of the kittens play a lot more, but the two whites ones play only with each other, which I guess may mean they're from a different litter. All seem friendly enough with one another, and don't fear outside contact. I'll have to think up names for them! Hmmm…

My House, Next Day

Early

Oh my gosh! I just found out that Cream told Amy that she loved her! And I mean in the, uh, lesbian way. Amy just told me—she's so excited, too. I guess she got over ME real quick! She says she's going to wait until Cream gets a little older before she really makes the decision to be her girlfriend, and I can understand that. But with Amy's impatient ways, I don't know how long that will last! Amy's a good girl, though, so I have faith in her.

Later:

I can't believe this! Knuckles just confessed that he loves me! I mean, what is up with this? I guess it really MUST be spring! I was, I am, flattered by this, but…I don't think I really love him. I'm stalling as much as possible, but Knux isn't going to wait forever. This may be my chance to get—what is it the bloggers say?—lemony, is that it? This may be my chance to get WITH someone, I mean…I can't be sure if Shadow loves me, or even if I love him. His butt's so cute!

Oh, uh…boner. Yeah, I love Shads. Urrgh! Love is frustrating! WHAT DO I DO?

May

Who cares about time?

Figure it's been a month or so since I last wrote. Guess it's May if it's getting warmer! I dunno…I'm packing up my stuff. Knux and I are moving into another property that I own farther away from town. Knux says he wants his privacy, and I don't really care about it. All I can say is…I sure hope he's not as violent in bed as he is when he spars!

Middle of May, maybe around the 14th?

12:00 AM

Why am I even up this early, you ask? This isn't my earliest morning, really, but I've got more great news: Cosmo isn't dead! Apparently, she was encased in a seed pod that protected her, even when she went into final phase, or whatever that was, and was just knocked out. When she woke up in her pod, she followed our smoke trails, or whatever she said they were, home! So now she and Tails are moved in together—there's no need to confess THEIR love—it's obvious. Cosmo's okay with me and Knux and Amy and Cream being gay, she wishes us all luck. Although, I guess plant girls can read hearts. She looked at me funny when I told her I was going with Knux…

"Shadow is still out there, you know."

I know, but I just can't be sure. I can't be sure of anything anymore. Cosmo escaping death is enough, because it makes Tails happy. Woo hoo.

Exhausted. I'm going back to bed before Knux gets home. He's celebrating at a bar on Angel Island. Hope he doesn't barf on the carpet again. We're out of cleaning supplies.

Late May

10:00 PM

My gods! My tailbone hurts like HELLLL! If this is love, it sucks. OOoh, ah, Knux IS about as violent in bed as he is sparring. Why did he feel the need to tug on my back quills and penis until they're about ready to come off? I mean…ow.

Wonder if Shads is this rough? Maybe he won't try to circumcise me with his teeth…yow!

What does a grape-eater need teeth like that for, anyway?

End of May

Fuck time.

Siiiiiccckkk. Knux gave me some alcoholic thing last night, and I can't stop throwing up. I told him a thousand times that, first off, I'm underage and can't drink (he is, too, but with his older friends, I gather that doesn't matter), and second of all, I can't take hard liquor. It…messes me up.

Ilk. This page will stink with vomit. Do me a favor and spray this with cologne or something.

Sonic's Commentary

Ew, that page really DOES stink like vomit!

I need a tissue…these pages are heart-wrenching. I forgot about those kittens! Wonder how they're doing?

Shadow's Comments

…

Ew. Sick.
