Jacob the Hedgehog

Me: my mind's like an antenna. it picks up EVERYTHING. like Mikki, but not nearly as good. even if i try, the only time i can truly tune something out is if i have my headphones on. 'tis why i wear them when i draw. makes me focus.

Acid: .....was this..... mutual?

Me: FIND A WAY TO TUNE HIM OUT. NO EXCUSES. CRUSH ON SOMEONE ELSE.

Eclipse: I... I THINK so...

Me: EVERYONE ELSE IS EITHER TAKEN OR A TOTAL @$$HOLE.

Acid: you THINK so? gaaaaaah....!! *head+branch* ......ow. remind me not to do that again.

Acid: heh. i'm not Felix, I'm not an expert at that.......

Me: maybe he could confess to Acid, and he could just be like, HYPOCRIT.

Me: kay :D

Eclipse: well... truthfully speaking... you're not exactly alone... I mean... I've got no one too... and I'm also moping around about it...

Acid: ....wait. so... you're trying to convince ME.... thats it's ok to be alone, when YOU.... have the same problem and havent gotten over it?? HA! you little hypocrit!

Eclipse: yeah, yeah... yuck it up, Greeny... I was just trying to help you feel better...

Acid: *razzes him* don't call me that. besides, how can you convince someone if you don't believe it yourself, you know? gets pretty hard, i'll tell you that.

Eclipse: *siiiigh* ... yeah...

Acid: so... you still missin' Rosette?

Eclipse: eh... well... no, actually. I'm fine with her death, now... there's something else, though...

Acid: *genuinely interested* really? what've you got going on?

Eclipse: I could never tell you...

Acid: then why'd you bring it up? -_-;

Eclipse: I'm just saying that you're not alone...

Acid: mmph..... *looks back over the trees, and sighs*

Eclipse: what?

Acid: garrr, you got me interested now! >_<*

Eclipse: ... ... I love Twilight...

Acid: ....could you run that by me again?

Eclipse: *facepalms* I... I love Twilight... what, you want me to shout it to the heavens??

Acid: no no no, i just thought i heard you wrong! .....wow. well you're got a BIT of a problem there.....

Eclipse: ... I know... I'm trying to get rid of this feeling... trying to avoid her...

Acid: hmm. kinda like me with Vera. didn't take too long, though. we both knew what we had to do. :(

Eclipse: ... ... ... but that's just it... I DON'T know what to do... and... I keep thinking about... ... ... *trails off*

Acid: hmm...... looks like you've got a pretty serious situation here....... *thinks*

Me: you gonna watch the shuttle launch?

Eclipse: It's hopeless... I'm feeling lovesick about the wife of one of my FRIENDS! There's no solution!

Me: ... no?

Acid: well, i can only think of one solution that would cause serious issues, and that's go for it, so please don't try that. you could try avoiding her until the lovesickness fades, or you could...... i dunno. try to keep it the same as it used to be. when you two were just friends.

me: only reason i'm still on the computer. ummm... speaking of lovesickness....... >.>;

Me: *smacks Mish* AARRAAAAGH!! How many inspirational speeches do you need???

Eclipse: ... I don't think that's possible... I can't even LOOK at her without thinking of a certain... thing... that happened...

Acid: ? *looks at eclipse questioningly* ....whaddo you mean...?

me: well, it's not that...... ummm...... you might kill me for this.......

Eclipse: IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, ALRIGHT?? D:>

Me: 8C

Acid: *ears slowly fold back against his head* you. did. NOT.

Me: ummm...... i..... think i'm, uh...... starting to like McSnapple again............ *hides in my closet*

Me: he's a jerk.

Eclipse: I'm sorry... I'm just... *sigh* just stressed...

Me: nyeeeeh..... you don't go to school with him....... btw, Acid didn't mean eclipse yelling at him, he meant that he thinks he figured it out.

Acid: that's not it, Eclipse.....

Eclipse: then what is it...?

Me: based on what you told me, I can only assume that he's a dick that doesn't mind hurting your feelings.

Me: .........again, you don't go to school with him. and i swear to god, our language classes are across from each other. AGAIN. if that doesnt mean something, i dunno ehat does. and just so you know, there IS more than one spanish classroom.

Acid: when you said it was none of my business, you made me come to a conclusion. i really hope, for your sake, that i'm wrong.

Me: it means nothing. There's no such thing as fate.

Eclipse: ... and what's that?

Me: ........ *looks to the side*

Acid: .....you didn't..... you know.....

Me: really. You choose your own path... but I reccommend not even thinking about him. Trust me - I can sniff out jerks like a bloodhound.

Eclipse: "you know" WHAT?

Me: from a thousand+ miles away? and........how can i not think about him if i SEE HIM EVERY SINGLE DAY?!

Acid: .........you know.... when a man and a woman love each other VERY MUCH...... seriously, can't you take a hint?

Me: it's called "tuning him out", Mishy. I've learned to tune out bad voice acting. I learned to tune out how stupid Matt can be sometimes. You ignore it.

Eclipse: OH! I mean... well... yeah. Almost. We almost did. Twice.

Eclipse: ... how the hell do I stop being in love with someone...?

Mikenno: *has an idea, but doesn't suggest it* ........i dunno......

Me: you on a comp?

Eclipse: *sighs, and becomes silent once again*

Me: yeppers :3

Mikenno: .......

Me: wanna iScribble? :3

Eclipse: ...

Me: ya, bitte. :3

Mikenno: ......... >.>

Eclipse: *DOTDOTDOT*

Mikenno: *PUNTOPUNTOPUNTO*

Eclipse: ... *walks off*

Me: in his own room? XD

Mikenno: ....

Eclipse: *walks OUT OF HIS ROOM AND DOWN THE HALLS because he feels like Mikenno can't help him*

Me: happy? XD

Me: nope. >:/

Mikenno: ..... *sighs and leaves the room also, but doesn't follow him*

Me: i'm kidding. :P

Eclipse: *walks downstairs, and outside*

Me: uh..... who should be outside? ^^;

Me: I durno. :P

Eclipse: *walks into the forest on the outskirts of town* ...

*all is quiet in those woods. Light shimmers through the trees as small beams, making everything a cool green. Leaves slowly drift off the trees to the ground as Fall approaches. A peaceful setting*

A Deer: *when it sees Eclipse, it scampers off*

Me: *lightbulb* green! :D

*something rustles in a tree above Eclipse*

Eclipse: *stops walking and looks up* ?

*a hedgehog-shaped shadow is standing in the tree, up at the top, apparently looking out over it*

Eclipse: ?? *turns into his condemned form, and climbs to the top of the tree, wondering who it is*

Me: Acid, right?

Me: yup.

Acid: *standing on a branch, looking out over the forest. he notices him, but doesn't seem to react much other than glancing at him* .......

C. Eclipse: what is it, Acid? You seem troubled.

Acid: mm..... i dunno..... just trying to accept the fact i'm gonna be alone all my life.

Me: *facepalm*

Eclipse: y'know you don't NEED someone. I mean, I know it's our nature to... um... hook up, and reproduce... but, PLEASE don't be like this...

Me: lumi was the one who talked to him about it in the other timeline. :P no lumi = still have problem. btw, eclipse = HYPOCRIT.

Acid: it's what i'm trying to convince myself......

Me: he's trying to convince Acid, not himself :P

Eclipse: you can always FLIRT... >.>

Mikenno: ....mmm..........

Mikenno: *finds her, and heads towards that location*

Eclipse: ...

Twilight: *is talking to Skye and Strike about something. she looks very relaxed, and just happy to be there*

Mikenno: *taps her on the shoulder* Twilight. i need to tell you something.

Twilight: ? *to her kids* i'll be back in a sec, okay?

Skye+Strike: *nod*

Twilight: *goes with mikenno* what is it?

Eclipse: ...

Mikenno: ....i have a message from eclipse.

Twilight: oh! well... what is it?

Mikenno: .....Eclipse wants me to tell you that he will be staying away from you from now on.

Twilight: ...why?

Mikenno: he... doesn't want to make a mistake... and get you both into trouble.

Twilight: .......okay. tell him that i understand......

Eclipse: ...

Mikenno: i will.

Twilight: thanks.....

Mikenno: *smiles* go back to your kids, Twilight. i know you really want to.

Twilight: wait. you know?? O_O;

Mikenno: *smiles wider* you can't hide anything from the mind-reader, Twilly.

Twilight: i guess not. ^^;

Eclipse: ... I have Condemned again... don't I...?

Condemned: <what do you mean?>

Eclipse: nothing. Shut up.

Mikenno: ^^ *heads back to eclipse's room*

Eclipse: ...

Me: this is getting boring.

Mikenno: *knocks*

Eclipse: come in. *already knows it's Mikenno*

Mikenno: *goes inside* hey. i gave her your message.

Eclipse: good. Now all I have to do is avoid her like the plague...

Mikenno: ....don't you think that's a little harsh? *closes the door*

Eclipse: it's only a saying, Mikenno... it's not like she's as unwanted as the plague... it's not like I don't still love her...

Mikenno: no, i didn't mean that, i meant..... avoiding her completely. it'll seem odd, considering you two were good friends.

Eclipse: if I want all these feelings I have for her to die, I need to avoid her...

Me: lemme guess: those arent dying anytime soon, are they?

Mikenno: ...i guess so....

Me: exactly :3

Eclipse: ... ... I shouldn't love her... it's wrong... she's with Lightning again... she's with who she truly loves...

Mikenno: *his ear twitches, not from hearing a noise, but from hearing a thought* ......i have a feeling she still has a soft spot for you.

Eclipse: ... what makes you say that...?

Mikenno: she seemed rather down when i gave her your message. she respects your decision, but she doesn't like it.

Eclipse: *his ears perk up* really? !! *hits self a few times* no, NO! That's not a good thing!

Mikenno: heheh... expected that.... when i said "soft spot", i meant "i wish we could still be friends," not "omfg i still waaaaaant hiiiiim!" XP

Eclipse: *somewhat dissapointed by that* ... we can't... not for a while, anyways...

Mikenno: ...you know, distancing yourself from something only makes you want it even more.

Me: THIS IS TRUE. try being grounded off the computer for three months. D:

Eclipse: ... then how can I stop myself from being in love with her...?

Me: lol too bad Psyche's dead in this timeline... XD

Mikenno: ....you could try going back to how it was. don't try avoiding her, don't try looking for her. if you run into each other, "oh, hi!"

Me: what, so she can rape him? XD

Me: let me rephrase that - too bad Psyche is dead, and was evil in this timeline. If he let her, she would help him get rid of his feelings toward Twilight.

Eclipse: ... I don't know if I can do that...

Me: oh ok. but.... can't mikki do that?

Mikenno: why not?

Me: would Mikki want to?

Eclipse: I might act up...

Me: if eclipse can convince him to. it might only be temporary,though, mikki doesn't usually mess around with memories much.

Mikenno: in what way? are you scared you'll show too much affection?

Eclipse: ... yeah...

Eclipse: no, nothing's wrong, Mikenno...

Mikenno: .......you can't lie to the mind-reader, eclipse. SOMETHING'S got you down.

Eclipse: it's nothing. Get out, or I'll play the lute at you.

Mikenno: *ears fold against his head* ....... *snorts, and leaves*

Me: 'clipseys being a bit harsh, isn't he?

Me: he tends to be more harsh when he's upset - it's just part of his nature.

Eclipse: ... *slowly starts playing again*

Me: you typing?

Me: yup.

Mikenno: ..............

Me: :3 listen to this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMCHbW_y_gA

Eclipse: *continues playing*

Mikenno: ..... *walks away*

Eclipse: ... ... godamnit... *puts the lute down, and runs into the hall, catching up to Mikenno* Wait! Wait... I-I'm sorry... yeah, there IS something making me feel like crap... I'll tell you... *looks around* but not here. My room. Come on.

Mikenno: ...okay. *turns around, heading back for eclipse's room*

me: ......goose bumps. :3 'tis coolio......

Me: thank you for appreciating teh mooziks. :3 I think it can definetally match up with Ripper Sonic.

Eclipse: *once they get in, he locks the door* for a few years now, Mikenno... I've been a lonely mobian. My family is dead. I'm sure you can relate... but mine was more recent... and I was still hurting... then... something happened... Jacob altered the timeline... suddenly I'm Twilight's husband... at first, I didn't exactly like this idea. As much as Twilight was a good friend, I didn't think I could ever truly LOVE her... ... but... ... *he trails off*

Mikenno: ...but you DID. so... the problem is, you've fixed the timeline, and come back here.... but you still love her.

Eclipse: ... ... ... yeah... I think that's it... but she just missed Lightning, and her kids so much... I just wanted to see her happy...

Mikenno: just more proof that you love her. you'll have to be very careful with this, though. one slip-up might get you into trouble......

Eclipse: I know... I'd rather not be on Lightning's bad side...

Mikenno: especially with his current...... condition. he's been more easily agitated recently...... we don't want to give him a reason to explode....

Eclipse: ... I know... ... and... and that's why I need to stay away from Twilight... avoid her at all costs...

Me: the dude in Cursed Mountain totally sounds Irish. :3

Mikenno: .....do you want me to tell her that? or do you want to tell her yourself?

me: LAWL.

Eclipse: ... please... you go tell her...

Me: it's TRUE... but he's supposed to be BRITISH!

Me: XD

Mikenno: ....ok, i will. *stands* anything else you want to tell her?

Eclipse: ... no... ... only that...

Mikenno: ....okay. will do. *pauses* ....you're making a good decision. though i don't think it'd be wise to cut yourself off from her completely. *starts going out*

Eclipse: yes, well... *goes back onto his bed, and stares at the ceiling* I think it is...

Mikenno: ...whatever you say......... *leaves the room, and does a mind-search for twilly*

Eclipse: *stares*

Twilight: ...oh! skye was looking for me. i better go find her.
Lightning: you should. before she freaks out. :P
Twilight: harhar...

Mikenno: *knock knock on eclipse's door*

Eclipse: *stops his playing again, and sighs* come in...

Mikenno: .......what's going on? *knows something's up bcz of da lute-playing, and this vibe of sadness he's been getting from eclipse for a while*

Eclipse: it... wasn't just for Sonic... it was for Rosette, and Luminos, too...

Me: Eclipse sings purdy :]

Twilight: ......we could have stayed, you know......

Me: ikr? twilly can sing purdy too, but she really doesnt very often. onlynwhen she has something good to sin.

Eclipse: ... you seemed so sad... I didn't want to keep you from Lightning...

Me: you on a comp?

Me: no. dinner soon.

Twilight: but you were happy. and that was enough.

Eclipse: well, now YOU'RE happy... don't make me repeat myself again, Twilight - that's all that matters... even if we can't be together... even if I'm alone again... I don't care...

Twilight: *ear droop* ....... *quick hug* don't forget, if you ever need anyone to talk to......

Eclipse: *sadly smiles at her* I know...

Me: g2g get off

Twilight: *lets go* ...... bye, eclipse.

Me: NOES, WHY?!

Eclipse: ... bye...

Me: nvm :]

Me: >.> sad eclipse is sad....

Twilight: .... *runs off down the hallway, looking for Skye*

Me: y'know what song matches him right now? Lonely Soul, by U.N.K.L.E. must send you link next time you're on a comp.

Eclipse: *sighs, and closes the door with a quiet 'click'. He walks to the double-bed, and sits down on it, a soft moaning from the springs letting out. A two person bed, with one person using it. He stares at his lute, wondering if he'll ever love someone again...*

Me: D:> awwww.... poor 'clipsey........ i'm available. :3 no, jk. XD

Twilight: *slows down. Skye can wait. she decides to head to her original room, to find Lightning*

Eclipse: *lays on the bed and plays the lute* ...

Me: y'know who I'd totally want to date if Matt wasn't my boyfriend? Ezio. Or Altair. Or both. At the same time. 83

Me: *grins* Reno. or Kadaj. :3 <3333

Twilight: *gets to the room* ...... *goes inside* Light...?
Lightning: mm? *looks up from the newspaper* oh, hey, hon. ^^

Eclipse: *still playing the lute* ...

Me: lol Fatal Frame? There's one coming out for the Wii. :3

Me: no. FFVII+FFAC :3 search either of them on da, you'll find them 83 reno's hilarious, and kadaj is just BA. <3

Twilight: hi.... *closes the door behind her*
Lightning: *stands up* hey, are you okay?
Twilight: yeah, why wouldn't i be?
Lightning: you don't LOOK okay....

Eclipse: *starts singing Lonely Soul, matching the electric sounds in the song with his lute*

Me: lol ok

Twilight: i'm fine.....
Lightning: Twilly..... *takes her hands in his* i know something's up. *strokes her cheek with the back of his hand* come on, you know you can trust me with anything....
Twilight: ..... *looks down* i've just...... had a weird day.........

Eclipse: *plays*

Me: g2g dad bonding.

Lightning: how so? ):>
Twilight: it's..... too much to explain. it doesn't matter.
Lightning: i have a feeling you arent telling me everything......
Twilight: if i had something to tell you, i would have. :(
Lightning: ....okay. *kisses her*
Twilight: *lets him*
Lightning: .......you sure you're okay?
Twilight: .... *nods*

Eclipse: *still plays*

Twilight: .......
Lightning: ......whenever you feel like talking, i'm here. don't hesitate, okay?
Twilight: mhmm.......
Lightning: .... *hugs her*
Twilight: *hugs him back* .....i love you.....
Lightning: *runs his fingers through her hair/dreads* love you too....

Me: twilly's faced facts. :/ though maybe she'll forget? :3

Eclipse: *still... plays*

Twilight: *recognizes the tune as what eclipse was humming before sonic killed himself. she continues to listen, not wanting to interrupt him* ......

Eclipse:
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

*end*

Me: it's ok to walk in on him now. :P

Twilight: ..... *knocks*

Me: she has manners. :P

Eclipse: !! *jumps from the knocking, and quickly puts his lute away. He opens the door* ... yeah? Skye's looking for you.

Twilight: oh, really? thanks. umm....... *rubs the back of her head* are you doing ok...? i um... heard the song.....

Eclipse: !! WHAT?? N-no one was supposed to hear that... I-I mean... well... it was... it was private...

Me: lol, he's getting all defencive.

Twilight: it was.... kinda loud..... umm...... hey, i know you seriously miss Sonic right now, but you've gotta remember that no one else knows about what we saw.......

Me: no sé qué's mas difícil.... ya para mi...... si írme y olvidarte..... o tú mejor amigo ser.......~♪

Twilight: ...... *sighs* back to normal......

Raptor: yep....

Eclipse: ... *goes to his room*

In the room

Eclipse: *takes out the lute he had from when he went insane* ... *begins to play it*

Skye: *was walking by when she hear the familiar music. she stopped in front of eclipse's room* ...wonder what's bugging him.....? *knocks*

The music: *abruptly stops*

Eclipse: *opens the door* ... ... hullo.

Skye: hi.... umm, i heard you playing that lute, and.... well, i was just wondering if something was up......

Eclipse: *silent for a while* ... no, I'm fine. Don't worry, Skye.

Skye: .....okay, if you're sure.... have you seen mom?

Eclipse: ... ... ... ... ... ... no. *closes the door. He picks up his lute, and starts doing the guitar-beginning for "I'll Follow You Into the Dark"

Me: wouldn't it be cool if Twilight heard him play the song? :3

Skye: *ear droop* ok...... *runs off*

Me: YES. should she go in da room?

Twilight: *coming down the hall from the opposite direction, her ear twitches when she hears music* ....?

Me: sure, but after Eclipse does his little song, or else he'll stop from embarressment.

Eclipse: *as he plays, he begins to sing. Eclipse was never one to sing outloud, so no one has ever heard him do so before... his voice is suprisingly beautiful. He is secretly a good singer* ♪♪ Love of mine... someday you will die... but I'll be close behind... I'll follow you into the dark... a blinding light... tunnels to gates of white... just our hands clasp so tight... waiting for a hint of a spark... but if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied... illuminate the 'no's on your vacancy signs... if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks... I'll follow you into the dark... ♪♪

Twilight: *stops to listen in front of his door. she can hear him clearly* ..........

Eclipse: *continues playing the song*

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
