I Just Want My Happy Ending - Chapter 9

Sonic and Roxanna sat in the room for hours. Roxanna then looks at Sonic and sighs
“What is it?” Sonic asks
“I’m hungry” Roxanna whispers
“Wait here, I’ll get us something” Sonic said “Will you be ok here?”
“I will” Roxanna said sitting up
“I’ll be back as fast as I can” Sonic said getting and walks out. He then runs down into the kitchen and saw the basket on the table. He takes the cloth off to see the muffins and smiles. He then grabs a plate and put two blueberry muffins and two double chocolate chips. He then puts them in the microwave as Sonia and Manic walks over
“What are you doing Sonic?” Sonia asks
“Me and Roxanna are hungry” Sonic replies
“Are uses going to hide in the room all day” Manic said
“She heard uses, earlier. She knows you don’t like her” Sonic said as the microwave beeps so he grabs the plate “When she is ready to come out, we will come out” he then said walking off. He then walks back into his room to see Roxanna standing by the window “Back” Sonic said and Roxanna turns around to see him
“Hey” Roxanna said as Sonic closed the door and walks over
“Double chocolate chip muffins” Sonic said smiling and Roxanna grabs one “And since it’s a cold day, they’re warm” he adds
“Thank you” Roxanna said as she started eating
“You looked after me while we were at the base” Sonic said walking to his desk and sits the plate down and grabs a blueberry muffin “Now it’s my turn”
“You didn’t have to do this Sonic” Roxanna said walking up to Sonic
“I did” Sonic said “And since I got my own bathroom, you don’t have to worry about my sibs” he adds
“I already have my stuff in it, I hope you don’t mind” Roxanna said
“This is your home now Roxanna” Sonic said
“Even though your sibs hate me” Roxanna then said
“They don’t hate you Roxanna” Sonic said “And don’t worry about them”
“Are you sure Sonic, I mean they are your family” Roxanna said as she grabs the other muffin and puts the rubbish down
“I am” Sonic said. Then they heard a knock at the door and Tails walks in
“I hope you don’t mind me dropping in” Tails said closing the door and walks over “Manic and Sonia said uses are hiding in the room”
“They don’t like Roxanna” Sonic said
“They don’t want me here” Roxanna adds
“Why?” Tails asks walking over “They don’t even know you”
“See, thank you Tails” Sonic said
“Well you are more than welcome at my workshop. It’s nice to see a new face” Tails said
“Thank you Tails” Roxanna said smiling
“And you thought the others would hate you” Sonic said
“It’s only Sonia and Manic, I went around to the others, seeing what they thought. They don’t mind at all, Shadow is keeping his eyes out for Eggman” Tails explains
“That’s good to know” Sonic said
“I am sorry about what Eggman put you through” Tails said “He had no right to do what he did to you”
“Thanks Tails” Roxanna said “He still scares me” she adds
“I don’t blame you, Eggman is heartless” Tails said
“Hey Tails, can you stay here with Roxanna” Sonic said
“Sure” Tails said
“I have to talk to Sonia and Manic. We can’t hide in here forever” Sonic said
“Good luck Sonic” Tails said
“Thank bro” Sonic said walking off, closing the door behind him. He then walks into the lounge room to see Sonia and Manic with Amy, Cream, Cheese and Vanilla
“Mr Sonic” Cream said smiling
“Where’s Roxanna?” Amy asks
“In my room with Tails” Sonic replies
“Why won’t she come out” Vanilla then asks
“She’s scared” Sonic said
“Why?” Cream asks
“She knows Sonia and Manic don’t want her here and they think she’s working for Eggman” Sonic explains “You need to learn to live with Roxanna or move out”
“And go where” Sonia asks
“I don’t know” Sonic said. Then he looks back to see Tails and Roxanna walking down stairs and over to him
“Miss Roxanna” Cream said and Roxanna takes Sonic’s hand
“It’s ok Roxanna” Sonic said and Roxanna nods
“I still don’t trust her” Manic said
“You may not but I do and she needs our help” Sonic said “Like it or not Manic” he then said and Manic looks at Roxanna and sighs seeing the fear in her eyes
“You’re right” Manic said walking over “Sorry about what I said Roxanna, it’s nice to meet you” he then said putting his hand out
“Likewise Manic” Roxanna said shacking his hand
“Where is she sleeping?” Sonia asks as Roxanna started looking around
“Is she ok?” Amy then asks
“Yeah” Sonic said
“Sorry, I’ve spent the last 11 years locked in Eggman’s bases. It’s nice to see a house, instead of reading about them in my books” Roxanna explains
“What did you do?” Amy asks
“Paint, draw, read, cook” Roxanna replies “Once a week Eggman made me have 2 needles and a gas”
“What are they?” Vanilla asks
“I don’t know, I was too scared to ask” Roxanna replies
“Don’t worry, he won’t hurt you ever again” Amy said walking over “Welcome to the team Roxanna”
“The team” Roxanna said confused
“You’re a part of the team now” Sonic said “And we watch each other’s back” he adds
“We better go, it’s getting late” Vanilla said standing up
“Bye” Cream said running off with Cheese. Vanilla smiles as she follows the pair
“See uses tomorrow” Amy said walking out with Tails. Sonia sighs as she walks over and Manic walks back
“Sonia” Sonic said
“Listen, Roxanna. I’m sorry for not trusting you” Sonia said
“No, it’s ok” Roxanna said “I do understand, you don’t know anything about me”
“Well as Vanilla said, it is getting late” Sonic said
“The day has gone so fast” Manic then said walking to the window
“Make sure it’s locked” Sonic said and Manic nods
“So why is Eggman after you?” Sonia asks
“In his words, I’m his little experiment” Roxanna said “I don’t want to be an experiment, I want to be free, I want a life” she then explains
“I’m so sorry” Sonia said
“Now you know why I brought her here, it took me a while just to convince her to come back with me” Sonic explains
“I’m not just scared of Eggman, I’m terrified. If he gets me back, he’ll lock me away and continue his experiments on me” Roxanna explains
“Well we’re going to call it” Sonic said “Come on Roxanna” he then said and the pair walks upstairs
“Your sibs are nice” Roxanna said as they walk into the room
“They can be” Sonic said as Roxanna walks off and grabs her clothes
“I’m going for a shower” Roxanna then said walking into the bathroom. Sonic smiles as he takes his shoes off and walks to his window. He then made sure it was locked and closed the curtains. When Roxanna walks out she is wearing the red and white snow pattern silk pants and a matching silk blouse
“I’m going for a shower” Sonic then said walking into the bathroom. After a quick shower he saw Roxanna lying in bed on the far side by the window and Sonic smiles. Roxanna then sits up and looks back at him
“You’re staying here, right” Roxanna asks
“I am Roxanna” Sonic said getting in the bed and Roxanna smiles as she lies back down
“Good, I don’t want to be alone. Not again” Roxanna whispers
“And you will never have to be alone” Sonic said and Roxanna rolls over to face him
“Promise” Roxanna said
“I promise, now sleep. We have a big day tomorrow” Sonic said and Roxanna nods as she closed her eyes. Sonic then looks at the clock and smiles as he tries to get some sleep
