[Contest]

HERE YEH, HERE YEH -- I bring out a contest for V-day.

It's simple -- since it's Valentine's Day, it's time to get romantic!

Do a Comic, a Picture, some Pixel Art/Sprites, or a Story. It would have to deal with some couple from something.

You can do a cartoon couple, a comic couple, a video game -- it's not limited to Sonic, thusforth the reason it's not in the Sonic section. Although I encourage Sonic stuff too. :D

I will probably be entering, but I cannot win. :p Anyone else can win.

The winner can choose their prize. If the winner is NOT an administrator, I'm willing to give you something like a colored username, increased PM box size, a smilie in your username -- something like that.

If the winner IS an Admin, or just doesn't want something like that, then the only prize I can offer is a special edition of SK&WS, starring that person.

So enjoy. :D Start entering.

ALSO -- we need a judge. I'll do it if no one else wants to. And yes, I can judge and enter as well cause like I said, I am not qualified to win under any circumstances.

B) Badicool.

I think I could whip something up- just not in time. XD
I will put my head down on Monday night and see what I can do. Otherwise, I'll just enjoy the great entries. ^_^

Nice contest GS! :D

Shaaaaaaalllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I shall be the first to enter with meh fanfiction!!!!

Enjoy!!!

(I would host it on ff.net but they dont allow songfics ^^; Im sorry)

The Unknown

My entry for the Valentines Day contest! Enjoy the sweetness!!!
Tails/Cosmo
~Crystal Rose~



How the universe began
What the future holds
Why do fools fall in love
What happens to our souls
Clues to life's mysteries
Are what we hope to find
Always reachin' for a reason
Searchin' for a sign



I couldn’t believe, she was back….She was sitting here right beside me…..Cosmo was alive….

Three days ago…..She came back to me……

“Tails?” Cosmo looked over to me from her spot under a huge Oak tree. Her cerulean eyes were shining with curiosity; it seemed as if she had another question for me. This wasn’t unusual, since she returned she has been asking me about everything. She wanted to know about the land, the sea, the sky, what creatures inhabited Green Hill, and how just about everything in my workshop functioned. Of course I was quick to answer each one to the best of my abilities, whatever she wanted to know I would tell her. That’s the least I could do for her….

To know the unknown
(It doesn't mean that much to me)
To know the unknown
(Some secrets are meant to be)
Don't want all the answers
'Cause one thing is true
As long as my heart beats
I'll always love you
So I don't need to know
The unknown

“Yeah Cosmo?” I looked back at her with my usual slightly goofy smile… I couldn’t help but act a little well bedazzled around the flower, she was sweet, kind, gentle…And I was just so happy right now.

“Do you think I could ask you another question?”

I nodded “Whatever you want”

She smiled sweetly but looked down at the grass. After playing with a few strands of the foliage for a few moments her eyes met mine again. “Well I have been asking you a lot lately and so far you’ve been able to answer all my questions. You know I am really grateful right?”

“No problem, I’m just glad I could help you so much”

“Well there is just one more thing that has been bothering me since I…Well came back…” She frowned and kept her eyes planted to the ground as if afraid that I would yell at her for her curiosity.

“You don’t have to worry Cosmo, ask me whatever you want!” I put my hand on her shoulder blade hoping that she didn’t think I was angry. Luckily she looked back up to me with a smile.


Is there life on other planets
Why there's magic in a kiss
What dreams really mean
Who hears us when we wish
Everybody's wonderin'
Tryin' to understand
Why all the revelations
Are castles in the sand


”All right then” Cosmo took a breath before allowing any words to come out “I was wondering what happened”

I looked at her quizzically “What do you mean what happened?”

“How did I get back here? I know what happened in space and I know that I didn’t make it back with you then. It has been six months, and now all of a sudden I wake and find myself in the one place that I wanted to be, and with the one person I wanted to be with. It doesn’t make sense!”

She looked a bit relieved that she got that question off her chest; I was probably bothering her for awhile now. Perhaps this is why she had went on her little quiz spree in the last three days.

To know the unknown
(It doesn't mean that much to me)
To know the unknown
(Some secrets are meant to be)
Don't want all the answers
'Cause one thing is true
As long as the Earth turns
I'll always love you
So I don't need to know
The unknown

I sat for awhile thinking about what she asked me; no doubt it had been on my mind for quite a while now. I remembered when we returned from our battle in space the first thing I did was search….I searched everywhere for a chance to find a way to bring my love back to me. I wasn’t going to let it end this way. I had to see her again.

It took days but finally I came upon my first conclusion. Perhaps I could do something with genes and duplicating them! Of course then came the problem that I had no clue what kind of genetic structure such a creature as a Petail had….And the fact I really didn’t have anything of Cosmo’s except for her shining glass pendant and a small budding plant in my workshop…

The Plant! Duh!!! With that I could probably do anything!!! It’s perfect!

…

Okay…Maybe now that perfect…. To use that seed I would have to kill the plant, and if I kill the plant then my chance at bringing Cosmo back may be null….

Okay I’m not hurting that plant!

Finally after many failed attempts I gave up on trying to find a way to bring her back, instead I just watched as my little plant grew happily on my desk. I watered it every day, and made sure it had sunlight. Perhaps on day it would grow big and I could sense how it was feeling just like how Cosmo described it. Perhaps I would feel her.

So I waited and waited, and watched and watched but nothing ever happened with that plant….It stayed happy and healthy as always but other than that it stayed the same….

Of course that was until three days ago…. Now she is back….Sitting right beside me….And-

I still don’t know how to answer her…… So for some reason even I, Miles Tails Prower, had no clue what happened…I don’t know how she returned to me…

But you know what? That’s all right to me.

You don't have to tell me
Just why you went away
Now that you've come back
There's nothing more to say
All I really need to know
Is that you're here to stay

I chuckled and leaned against her earning a giggle out of my crush. “You know what”

“What?”

“I really have no clue”

“Y-you don’t?”

“I have no clue actually, and I’ve been thinking about if for a while now. I tried everything I could ever think of and nothing worked, so how are you here with me now? I never came up with an answer to that even to this minute.”

“But there had to be a reason. You gave answers to all my other questions. You knew everything. Everything has an answer. Aren’t you curious? “

I shook my head “It’s my turn for a question okay Cosmo?”

She nodded uncertainly “Uh…All right but I don’t think I’m as smart as y-“

“Are you going to stay with me forever?”

The princess was caught off guard but nodded “Of course I will”

“Then that’s all I need to know, I’m just glad you are here with me now.”

I felt her weight against mine; soon I felt her warmth against me as well.

“I’m glad too Tails….”

So I don't need to know
The unknown

________________________________________

Hope it wasnt too sucky ^^; I made it kinda quick hehehehe

Aww, that was wonderful CR: :3

Oh, BTW -- this contest will not end on Valentine's Day. That's just not enough time! :o

So instead It'll end at the end of February. That sound good? Feb 28th is the last day for entries.

Well then...

I'll follow BR's advice and join in this. Heck, who knows, maybe I have a chance., Though I doubt it, seeing as to how horrible my writing really is.

So, without further ado, here is a small part of what I may be writing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a very ordinary day. A VERY ordinary day. The sun came up mildly, setting it’s light upon the world in a lazy, I-don’t-want-to-get-up-in-the-morning way, letting it’s bright rays bring life to the world. From the bleakness of night to the promising dawn to the sunrise. It was all usual to this world… But beautiful nevertheless. The colors were rich and full, greens and reds everywhere, interlanced with browns, yellows, purples and other colors that could put a rainbow to shame.

The waterfront at this time was also deserted, although the rich color of water, a deep blue-green, outmatched that of the other hues, glistening in the morning sun like a pile of brilliantly-glowing sapphires. Not a single soul was there to witness the colors nature so loved to play with.

Except one. A strange figure was walking along the waterline. He wasn;t a cat, which spoke out by his 3 large spines that hung below the waist, but also not a hedgehog, because of the fur that glistened in the sun. This strange creature seemed to like the morning, and was already wet, having been in the water only a short time ago. He walked over to the very edge of the water, and walked along the fine line that the tiny waves created.

Nite usually took walks like this in the morning. His feet bare and in the cold water, he walked along, humming a tune to himself. Today was no special day, like any other before it, but it hung on him nevertheless, making the blue/black cat-hog wonder if he has missed something about such a beautiful day.

Indeed, it seemed that he has. The birds were singing louder than usual, the sun was brighter, and the water was… Well… Colder, but that was beside the point. There was just something in the air, and Nite breathed in deep, trying to identify it. It wasn’t a scent, but a feeling, and upon finding that out, Nite gave up. He did not want to busy his mind with trying to figure out some strange phenomenon, and kept walking, absentmindedly humming to himself.

It seemed like he knew his way along the beach. He looked straight forward and sometimes up, but his step was sure. It was either that he has memorized the sand and twigs so well as to completely avoid them by nature or that he saw them through an eye that was invisible to other living beings. And indeed, it was the second, for Nite was also practicing his psychic abilities and “stretching” them, like any would stretch their muscles in the morning. This exercise geared him for the rest of the day, be it a day full of action and danger, or be it a day of laziness.

His thoughts wandered. That was the best way to explain them. They wandered through the many recesses of his mind, digging up memories from every corner, memries he thought he had forgotten. Memories that he did not repress but ones that his mind could not keep on the surface for the entire time. This digging made the cathog stop for a second, and then resume walking, now not whistling, but thinking.

The cathog never did spend a day without thinking for at least a little while. To a psuychic mind like his own, it was impossible not to lapse into thought at one point or another. It was a simple reaction really, since his brain was slightly larger than that of an every-day Mobian, and a whopping 80% of it was active every day. The psychic was used to the reaction, and has stopped avoiding it copletely, lapsing into thought even at the most crucial of times. This was dangerous, even for himself, but it was a natural reaction, just like the jolt out of his mind when Solar kicked him to wake him up from his daydreams.

But there was no one to wake Nite up this fine morning, and the cold water only soothed his mind instead of awakening it.

“Great… I’m turning into a thinking zombie now… Juuuuust perfect…”

His thoughts would not give in though, and Nite soon found himself perusing his own thoughts on his companions.

He remembered the first time they met, all of them together as a team. The first time they fought together successfully against Tesla, that monster disguised in a form as beautiful as that of any woman. Tesla was a wonder, and many would think of a rat as a dirty, ugly, disgusting creature. Tesla was quite the opposite: she was a beautiful, calculative, logical and ruthless monster in disguise. And she was finally beaten then, when all 7 of Team Stellar teamed up against the woman and her 3 lackeys. All of them: Nite, Solar, X13, Starlite, Rea, Chakra and Kayhat, aided by Desty Nova and Luna as well as some others.

As those names flashed in his mind, one rung particularly clearly in his mind. Starlite, the star avatar that has joined them as the fourth of the 7 fighters that were Team Stellar. He wondered why he suddenly had her face stuck in her head: it was not natural for him to think of such things so early in the morning. And although he has noticed that the “starhog” as Desty named her seemed to insinuate herself into Nite’s life more than anyone else, he has not paid much attention to it up until this point.

The cathog turned to the water, took a palmful of it and splashed the water across his face, trying to get his mind out of thought. But he has not succeeded, and the image of the white/yellow hedgehog form glowed brightly within his mind.

“NOW I’m going insane…”

Of course, this never went without analysis. The cathog attempted to fid out why he had this image in his head, why will it not go away and why did it produce a light feeling in his stomach as if it was being filled with butterfly wings. He never got far though. With all this thinking, his psychic mind has gone blank, and he forgot to look under his feet. A small branch was in the way, and it snagged on the psychic’s foot. Nite yelped, and fell face forward into the cold water, getting himself up immediately. Spluttering, he washed the sand off his body and shook his head.

“Well, this little twig saved me from going insane… Thanks to you, brain. Great… Even my own mind is beginning to play tricks on me.”

The cathog twirled his head again, and started to walk back, still wondering why the image of one of his teammates was glowing so bright in his mind, like if lighting a path that led to who knows where…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I may elaborate later on, continuing from this point. Heck, it makes a good transition point. But we will see. If you guys judge this as completely unrelated to the topic, you can delete it.

It's a horrible piece of writing anyways.

HA, I'm sick of your self-pity party. You ARE a good writer, and I would tell you if you were bad. Seriously, if you sucked, I'd say so -- but you don't, so stop saying that you do. K?

In other news: AWESOME! You better continue HA. Although remember it'll have to incorporate some sort of romance eventually, or it won't really fit into the contest. :D Yay! Continue.

I didn't want to say anything till I had an entry, and now I do! So...

HA, please, do NOT say you are a terrible writer. You are an excellent one, and it seems nearly everyone who is good at writing and/or drawing says they're not, when they are among the best! Now, on with the entry.

Here be my entry, or to be more specific, the beginning of my entry. It stars John Doe, and it’s Sonic based!

000000000

“Mail call!” the familiar voice of the mailman sounded. Amy Rose got up from her sofa and made her way to the door, where a few letters waited for her. She picked them up and shuffled through them.

“Bill…Bill…Junk…Contest winner?” Amy muttered, looking at the letters. She threw away the junk letters and placed the bills on the counter for later. She stared at the contest winner letter and then opened it up.

“Congratulations!” the letter suddenly shouted, Amy dropping it to the floor scared. “Do not worry, this is only a recording! You and eight friends have won an all access pass to the new Day Spa of Doom…I mean…Niceness…Cough…Yah. Anyhow, follow the written instructions and you and your friends will have the time of your life!”

Amy blinked slightly, then picked up the letter, and read the instructions. The day for it was Valentine’s Day, nonetheless. She grinned, then went for the phone.

0000000000

Amy, Cream, Big, Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Shadow, Rouge, and Omega all stood outside the Day Spa of Doom, I mean Niceness. It looked nice, but little did they know it was a lot bigger then it gave off.

“Why am I here again?” Both Knuckles and Shadow wondered.

“To support me in my time of peril?” Sonic offered, indicating Amy.

“Bah, why would I be concerned with your well being?” Shadow asked, raising an eyebrow.

“No, you’re here because you actually have the hots for-” Sonic began, but was quickly silenced by Shadow slamming his foot into his.

As Sonic hopped about on one foot, Omega decided to make an observation.

“It is the appropriate time, are we going to be allowed in?” Omega wondered, pointing to the door.

As if by magic, the door suddenly swung open, and a voice, the same one from the recording, though definitely there, sounded out, “Hello everyone! My name is John Doe, and welcome to…

“THE DAY SPA OF DOOM!!!” Lightning seemed to flash, and then they heard a cough, “I mean Niceness…Step right in!”

They all shrugged and headed forward…

0000000000

Teaser thing this be, I’ll have more later.

hehehe thats funny AGoI!!! I cant wait for more!!!

Here's the next part of it! More to come.

The last time in the Day Spa of Doom…

“As if by magic, the door suddenly swung open, and a voice, the same one from the recording, though definitely there, sounded out, “Hello everyone! My name is John Doe, and welcome to…

“THE DAY SPA OF DOOM!!!” Lightning seemed to flash, and then they heard a cough, “I mean Niceness…Step right in!””

We now return to our heroes.

“Wow…” everyone one of them muttered when they stepped inside, with the exception of Omega, who’s ‘sense of aw and wonder’ chip was currently disabled.

The it was lavishly decorated. It had doors leading to many places, and just the first inside floor seemed bigger then what they had been presented with outside.

A large fountain stood in the center, running water serenely in a steady babble. The floor was made of excellent material, very clean, and slightly shining. A short, what looked like a human, stood in front of the fountain.

He was about five feet four inches tall, had dark brown hair, a crazed look in his eye, and wore a cleanly pressed suit. The person looked to be about 15, maybe 14 years of age.

“Hello!” the person said, smiling, “My name is John Doe! Owner and propitiator of this Day Spa! I see you all made it safely…Now…” John smiled evilly, “Feel free to wander the rooms and do what you like!”

The Mobians and robot stared at one another, then shrugged, and moved as a group to look around…

0000000000

John Doe, when the Mobians and Omega had gone off to explore had disappeared in a flash, reappearing in his office, ready to cause some chaos.

Big had disappeared, going away from the others and finding somewhere to fish. The other eight made their way into the kitchen, intending to get a bite to eat. They gathered around the table, when a strange hiss suddenly sounded…

“Gas!” Sonic yelled in surprise, as red gas billowed up around them. They coughed and staggered about, but soon, the gas was gone.

Their eyes were closed, and they all wondered what had happened. Omega, it seems, had not been affected…however…

“My love!” the robot shouted, barreling through Rouge and Knuckles, and grabbing a toaster, ripping the plug from the wall and cuddling it. “Where have you been all my life?”

“That was weird…” Sonic muttered, opening his eyes in Amy’s general direction. Suddenly his eyes turned into hearts, and just like Omega, shouted, “My love!” and barreled forward.

Yes, by now I bet you’ve realized what this gas does. It makes the person become infatuated with the first thing you see, which is like love, but not really.

Since Amy was already infatuated with Sonic, she was unaffected, and the gas was cancelled out for her. Unfortunately for the blue blur obsessed girl, Sonic did not see Amy first.

He jumped over Amy, who twitched slightly, and landing by a nickel he had seen on the ground.

“I shall call you Shirley!” Sonic said proudly, holding the nickel up and huggling it.

Tails and Cream sweat dropped. Since they had yet to get actual hormones, they couldn’t really be infatuated with anyone, so the gas was canceled out for them. Why Omega fell in love with the toaster, maybe the gas fried his common sense circuits or something.

Shadow was staring blankly at Amy, and the pink hedgehog turned around and spotted him.

Shadow froze, then collected his wits, “Well…It seems like the Faker and Omega snapped…Where’s Rouge and Knuckles?”

“Why didn’t that gas affect you Shadow?” Tails wondered, peering at the Ultimate Life Form.

“Well…Why didn’t it work on you?” Shadow shot back, looking slightly nervous.

“Because neither Cream nor I have actual hormones yet, after all, it is obvious that this is infatuated gas,” Tails said, showing off his genius.

“Uhh…Must be because I’m the Ultimate Life Form then!” Shadow declared. He muttered, “That was close…”

Thankfully no one heard him, as everyone, including the nickel named Shirley obsessed Sonic and toaster cuddling Omega were staring at the two Mobians who had kept quiet.

“Rouge and Knuckles are hugging!” Cream shouted.

Somewhere, on the other side of the world, an old shaman for a village in the middle of nowhere was reading the signs in some old animal bones, then shivered.

“What is it?” the shaman assistant asked.

“Five words were spoken somewhere that should not be put together like that…” the shaman answered.

Back with our heroes.

“Should we…ummm…separate them or something? And all they’re doing is hugging…” Tails muttered, looking at the usual rivals.

“It is a nice change from their usual squabbling though…” Sonic commented.

“For once I have to agree with you Sonic…” Shadow said, shaking his head slowly.

“I say we find this John Doe character and find out what’s happening! Come on!” Amy shouted, pulling out her Piko Piko Hammer from nowhere and marching out the door, followed first by Shadow, then Tails and Cream, then Omega cuddling the toaster still, and finally Sonic and Shirley, who were pulling Knuckles and Rouge along on a little cart.

“We should also look for Mr. Big,” Cream answered.

“Yes…of course…”

0000000000
