Spin The Bottal
Spin the Bottle
Ok, here's the deal. After Psy and Seby broke up, it was agreed
between Psycho and me that our chars would go out in my stories. After
a more than a few months, Psy and Amy began dating in RL, so I'm
making this story so that no one gets confused, and so that no rumors
go rampant around the net. "Pika..." growled Sparx's
pikachu. Roxy stared at it, as she backed away. Sparx walked over, and
picked it up. Shaking her head, she said; "Roxy, don't be afraid
of 'im. He's growling because he's hungry!" Despite Sparx's
assurances, Roxy still wasn't too comfortable around Pikachu. Sparx
set out a dish of pokémon food, a dish she hand-cooked from a recipe
given to her from Brock.
She sat down on her couch, and as she stretched her legs, Sparx
fingered the T.V. flicker, and chose a channel. The T.V. screen
flicked to the familliar "Teletoon" channel, just in time
for Sparx's favourite comedy, "Duckman". Rated
"18+", this show was obviously not for kids. Sparx's pikachu
hopped beside her. Roxy took a seat in the Lazy-boy, avoiding Pikachu.
Sparx noticed this, but said nothing.
"Sparx, who's all going to Psy's little party?" asked Roxy
casually. As she talked, she was fiddling with her hair
absentmindedly.
"Well, Psy, Ace, Amy and I are going!" replied Sparx, who
didn't take her eyes off the TV.
"Amy? Amy who?" asked Roxy.
"A friend of Psy's!" replied Sparx as she opened a bag of
Doritos. She offered some ro Roxy, who took a handful. Roxy nodded at
Sparx's reply to her question. Sparx began petting her pikachu. It
replied with an affectionate "Pikachuuuuu". Suddenly, the
phone rang. Sparx got up and answered it. Remaining in the living
room, Roxy eyed pikachu nervously. Noticing that someone was watching
him, Pikachu jumped into Roxy's lap, and snuggled her orange and white
fur. Unsure of what to do, Roxy merely petted him. Returning to the
living rom, Sparx said;
"That was Psy, letting me know that it's time to leave." she
picked up her pokéball, and finally noticed that her pikachu was
cuddling with Roxy, who seemed to be enjoying it. Sparx held out her
pokéball, which was emblazoned with an "H" on it, and said,
"Pikachu, return." A beam of light gently lashed out and
collected pikachu. She pocketed her pokéball, and noticed the sour
look on Roxy's face.
"I was just warming up to him..." complained Sparx's
childhood friend. Sparx smiled and said in a mock-deep voice,
"Don't worry, we'll be back!" She waved goodbye, and left
the hut. The cool, crisp night air hit Sparx's face, and she breathed
deeply. She lept into the air, and began to glide toward's Psy's
place.
Arriving 30 minutes later, Sparx set down right in front of the door.
Although it was a fairly long glide, Sparx was able to to get there in
a reasonably good time. She reached into her pocket, and was satisfied
to know that she still had her pokéball and chaos emerald. She knocked
on the door, and Psy let her in. She took a quick glance around, and
noticed that everyone was there, everyone except Ace.
"Hi Psy, Amy!" Sparx said as she sat down on the sofa. She
noticed some munchies and pop, so she grabbed a handful of chips and a
Pepsi.
"Well, the only one missing is--" started Psycho before
there was a swirling puff of smoke accompanied by a familiar voice;
"I am the terror that flaps in the night, I am the....uh, never
mind." said Ace as the smoke dissipated.
"...Ace." continued Psy, almost as if he hadn't been
interrupted, "well, now that everyone is here, I hope that we can
get started."
"Sounds like a plan to me!" stated Amy brightly. She picked
up a can of Pepsi, opened it, and started to drink. Sparx noticed an
empty coke bottle, with its wrapper torn off, lying on Psy's kitchen
table.
Pointing to the bottle, Sparx joked; "Psy, what's that bottle
for, you making a flower display?" Psycho walked over to the
bottle, picked it up, and replied; "Well, for one of tonight's
entertainments, I thought that, even though it's a tad juvenile, we
could play 'Spin the Bottle'." An evil look came across his face.
(^_-)
"Spin the bottle, eh?" queried Ace, "Isn't that the
game where you spin a bottle, and whoever the open end points at, you
hafta kiss." Psycho shook his head vigorously; "Yup!"
he replied.
"Well, erm...uh, let's get started..." said Sparx, with a
touch of nervousness touching her voice.
"What, you chicken?" challenged Amy.
"Of course not!" snapped Sparx as they got up from their
seats and sat down in a circle. Psycho placed the bottle in the middle
of the circle. Across from Psy sat Amy, and across from Sparx sat Ace.
So, in a clockwise direction, the order was Psycho, Sparx, Ace, and
Amy. It was Psy's turn to 'spin' first. He grasped it, spun it, and
the bottle spun round and round upon an invisible axis. It passed
Sparx, then Ace, then Amy, then Psycho, then Sparx, then Ace, then
Amy, Psy, Sparx, Ace, Amy, Psy, Sparx, Ace, and it slowed just enough
to stop, with its open end pointing at Amy. Psycho got up, and planted
a kiss on Amy's lips. Sparx watched tentatively as the kiss was
prolonged longer than was necessary. Sparx politely coughed, and Psy
and Amy realized that they had gone on too long. They parted, with
Psycho returning to his seat, blushing. Next, it was Sparx's turn, so
she spun the bottle. It spun, and eventually landed on Ace. Sparx got
up and gave Ace a kiss on the lips. She felt herself losing a little
control, and she kissed harder and longer than intended. She heard an
'ahem' from Psycho, so she quickly drew back, then sat down. There was
an uncomfortable silence for a couple of minutes. Everyone just stared
at the floor. Realizing that her throat was suddenly very dry, Sparx
got up, and got herself another Pepsi.
"Anybody else want some?" she asked as she gupled down some
of her beverage. No one else wanted some, so Sparx sat down. Realizing
that no one was making a move to spin the bottle, Psycho put it away.
"Ahem, well, uh, onto out next event.." started Psy,
"Perhaps we could watch a movie?...watch TV?....point and lauch
at each other's misfortunes?" he was exasperated.
"Actually Psy, I'd like to talk to you privately." Sparx
asked, worry creasing her brows. Psycho nodded, and they climbed to
the upper floor of the house.
"Wazzup?" asked Psycho, clearely concerned. Sparx stepped
forward, her mouth opened, then closed, as if she were unsure on how
to word what she was thinking.
"Uh, I noticed how you and Amy were kissing, and..." she
started before she saw Psycho's face contorting with anger.
"You're concerned about me and Amy!!! What about you and
Ace???" he shot back.
"I suppose that I was out of place to ask that, considering that
I did the same thing, sorry." said Sparx, crestfallen. Psycho
nodded, and grasped Sparx's hand. Sparx noticed that he looked ashen,
like he was about to say something very hard for him.
"Listed Sparx, we've been going out for a few months now, and
we've had a great time. But, our relationship is going nowhere, so I
think it would be best if we broke up." said Psycho. He tightened
his grip on her hand for a moment, in reassurance.
"Why? So you can go out with Amy instead?" asked Sparx, a
little more harsh than intended. Once she said it, she regretted it.
"Mabye, mabye not." replied Psycho evenly. He let her hand
go. She looked at him, and realized that he was right.
"You're right Psy, breaking up would be best. But..." she
paused, a smile beginning to show on her face, "we still gonna be
friends and hang out?"
"But of course madame, I'd have it no other way!" said
Psycho, satisfied that Sparx had taken it so well. They walked
downstairs, and told Ace and amy about what they had talked about.
Although Ace and Amy were a little surprised, they had known that it
was coming for a while now. To lighten the mood, Ace spoke up;
"How's about we go outside to get a bit 'o fresh air?" he
suggested. Everyone agreed, and they all filed out through the door.
It was pitch black outside, so Ace made a torch out of a fallen tree.
Sparx edged away from the group, and with the torch providing
illumination, she climed up the nearest maple tree. Within minutes,
Sparx heard rustling in the branches below her, and she was able to
see Amy climbing up.
"Oh, great...." mumbled Sparx under her breath. She folded
her arms across her chest.
"Hey Sparx, I feel terrible. I mean, I feel like I'm responsible
for you and Psy breaking up...." said Amy as she carefully placed
herself beside Sparx on the tree branch. There was a long silence.
Even though Amy was a couple of years younger than Sparx, her words
struck the echidna. Sparx finally answered, "No Amy, it's not
your fault. It's not anybody's fault." A chilly wind cut through
the air. Sparx felt goosebumps all over her body.
"Despite all this, I'd like it if we could be friends." said
Amy, with a more jovial attitude than before. Sparx was about to
reply, when she felt a small tremor beneath the tree they were sitting
in. The tremors grew worse, and the ground beneath the tree split
open, ripping the roots from the tree, and swallowed Amy and Sparx
into the dark chasm that had just opened up.
Psycho and Ace were sitting on a small rock outcropping, a few feet
away from Psycho's house.
"She seemed to take it well." observed Ace. Psycho nodded as
he replied;
"It looks like it, and I hope that she can find someone better,
someone with whom the relationship will last." Ace smiled, and
looked over at the tree that Amy and Sparx were sitting on. Instantly
he knew something was wrong. He saw them envelopped by the ground, and
before he could do anything, him and Psycho were also swallowed by the
ground. Ace was about to teleport him and Psy to safety, when he hit
his head on a ledge, and fell unconscious. Above all of this, mere
feet from the new formed gorge, Psycho's house stood, unconcerned and
unmoved by the events just passed.
Hours later, Sparx awoke with a splitting headache. Amy was tending to
a gash on Sparx's forehead.
"I'm glad that I had a first-aid kit on me." commented Amy
as she put a final bandage on Sparx's forehead. "There, all
done."
"Ugh...thanks Amy, I owe you one...but just one question, how
comeI'm hurt, and you're not?" asked Sparx as she struggled to
get up. Amy helped her to a sitting position. She blushed as she said;
"Well, I couldn't help it, but I accidentally landed on
you." She put a hand on Sparx's head to straighten out the
echidna's lush red hair. It fell into it's natural position. Sparx
stood up, although she still felt a bit woozy. She reached into her
pocket, and took out her pokéball. She pressed the button on it, and
out popped Pikachu.
"Pika-pipi!" cried the small creature.
"What the heck is that thing?" Amy asked as she stared at
pikachu.
"This is Pikachu, he's a pokémon. I thought he'd be able to help
us get out, " replied Sparx, "Pikachu, go scout ahead, and
see if you can find a way out!" Pikachu took off up the steep
incline, and quickly vanished. Finally, Sparx took a look at her
surroundings. They were on a small ledge, about 2 metres by 5 metres,
with a steep wall/incline on 3 sides, and a drop-off on the remaining
side. Sparx kicked a pebble off the edge, and waited for an indication
of a bottom to the dark pit. After a few minutes, they heard a faint
'ping' sound.
"Ouch, that's a long fall." observed Amy as the two girls
backed closer to the wall. They heard scratching sounds above them,
and small pebbles fell down. As they shielded their eyes, Sparx and
Amy looked up and saw Pikachu scrambling down the wall.
"Geez, that was incredibly fast!" commmented Amy. Pikachu
leaped into Sparx's arms.
"Apart from electricity, his speciality is speed." replied
Sparx. Then, suddenly, her pikachu began chattering.
"Pikachu, chuuuuuu, pika...ka!" he said as he waved his arms
frantically.
"He says that if we climb up, there'll eventually be a tunnel
which lead to the surface." Sparx said as Pikachu returned to
it's pokéball.
"You understood him?" questioned Amy a little skeptically.
'Of course, but only a pokémon's trainer can understand him."
replied Sparx, "well, I'm able to scale that wall no problem, but
I'm not so sure about you."
"You're right, I'm not at all able to climb anything that
steep!" Amy whistled a low whistle a low whistle as she again
looked upwards.
"Well then, hold onto me as I climb, so there shouldn't be any
problem." replied Sparx with a smile. Amy did as suggested and
climbed on Sparx's back. The tall, strong echidna than began climbing.
It was a slow and long climb. They were about half way up, when they
stopped. Amy looked, and saw that Sparx's eyes were closed as if she
was in great pain.
"Sparx, what's wrong?" questioned Amy. The pink hedgehog
noticed that the gash on Sparx's head had reopened. Holding on to
Sparx with only her legs, Amy balanced as she retrieved her first aid
kit. She re-wrapped some gauze tightly around Sparx's head. The pain
started to subside, and Sparx managed to say; "Thanks Amy!"
They continued their asencion. To pass the time (and to keep their
minds off of pain and fear) they began singing. It soulded like two
angels delivering an angelic hymm. The only difference was that they
weren't singing a hymm.
Further down the "hole", and on the opposite side, Ace and
Psycho awoke to hear angels singing.
"We've died and gone to heaven!" screamed Ace. He stood, and
brushed the dust off himself. He surmised that the rock had broken
somewhere above them. Psycho smacked Ace in the head.
"We're not in heaven, you moron, if we had died, I'd be in hell.
Remember, that's where I came from." grumbled Psycho. Psy looked
up, and to his surprise, he saw Sparx and Amy standing on the top of
the gargantuan wall. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, they're allright!" exclaimed Psy as he began to fly
up. Ace looked at him, snickered, and teleported them to the exact
location on which Amy and Sparx were standing. The singing stopped as
the girls saw Psycho and Ace standing in front of them.
"Thank God you're allright!" exclaimed Sparx, "now,
let's get the hell outta here!" With a nod of his head, Ace used
the last of his stength to teleport everyone to their respective huts.
ONE MONTH LATER:
Well, the news is now official, Psycho and Amy were going out, as are
Sparx and Ace.
Sparx was just returning from having dinner with Ace and her parents.
Lily and Owen approuved of Ace, and gave Ace their blessings. She
entered her hut, and to her surprise, she saw an orange fox with green
eyes, chatting amicably with Roxy and Snowy. Noticing that Sparx had
returned, Roxy stood, so did the other fox.
"Sparx, remember her, this is my cousin, C--" said Roxy who
was cut short by Sparx.
"Cortex!!!!!" yelled Sparx as she rushed to give her
longtime friend a hug, "longtime no see!"
"Yes, it has been a long time, " Cortex's face took on a
thoughtful expression, "at least five years". Sparx looked
Cortex over, and nodded approuvingly.
"Time's treated you well." she observed.
'You too!" replied Cortex. Her green knee-high boots matched well
with the green jewel on her forehead and her green vest. All four
furries resumed their conversation in the comfort of the licing room,
with 'Duckman' blaring in the background.
