Marriage
Chapter 1: Shadow & Affy
A/N: I'm back! Okay, this is going to be a bunch of song fics mushed into one fic. Every one will be a different song, but they'll basically be the same plot. Any questions?
Shadow: Why are you doing this?
Cause I want to.
Sonic: You're gonna torture all of us, aren't you?
nods Yep. Most likely.
Amy: Can my dress be silk?
shrugs Sure, why not? On with the fic!
Disclaimer: Why do we need these? It's called a DISclaimer, thus just saying we don't own stuff. We all know we don't own Sega, or Nintendo, or all those fun things, and we don't own characters, plots from the show, or anything. So why even say it? I won't say it after this chapter. I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog or Sega. All I own is Taffy. Christy owns Affy, and we both own Sara.
Shadow grinned. Affy would never suspect this. His plan would be the best he had ever pulled off. The only bad thing about it though...he needed help from Taffy.
"Taffy? Can I ask you something?" he questioned.
"Go ahead."
"Can I borrow your O-Town CD? Please?"
Taffy looked up at him oddly. "You, Shadow, want to borrow a CD, my O-Town CD, from, me, Taffy? The little sister who you hate?"
"Yeah, basically."
"It's in my CD portfolio on my desk."
"Thanks Taffy."
"Whatever."
The black and red hedgehog entered their room and walked over to Taffy's side to her desk where the burgundy case sat. He opened it up and flipped through the pages, searching for the disk he needed. Finding it, he removed it from the case and popped it into his stereo, closed and locked the door, and then set about learning the lyrics to the song he wanted.
"Oh, Shadow, a karaoke bar?" Affy asked, gazing at the building. "What's the deal?"
Shadow took her hand in his. "Come on, it'll be fun. Everyone else is already here." He led her to the door and smiled down at her. "Just have fun, okay?"
"Alright..."
The two hedgehogs entered the bar and made their way to the booth they would be sharing with the others. Rouge was already drinking, looking slightly fuzzled and giggling and nothing. Sonic was cuddling with Amy, and Knuckles was whispering in Taffy's ear.
"You had better not be corrupting my sister's mind, echidna," Shadow snapped, half jokingly.
"I'm not," he replied, and went on whispering. Taffy blushed and giggled a second later.
Affy smiled at the couple, and then grinned up at Shadow. "So, what do you have planned? Or are you guys all in this together?"
Sonic patted Amy on the head. "Well...It's sort of like an individual/group thing. We're in it together, but we do it alone."
The girls, except Rouge, looked at each other, puzzled. What were they talking about?
Shadow sat down and wrapped his arm around Affy's waist, tickling her tail as he did. "Well, just a few more seconds and we'll get this party started!"
The group chatted about pointless things for a while, like what was better, cheddar cheese or American, orange popsicles or cherry, and other stupid things. Rouge continued to get drunk. And the girls were still confused about what the guys were going to do.
As the lights dimmed, a man came out onto the stage and smiled at the crowd. "Alright! Are we ready to listen to some great performances tonight or what? First up, we have Shadow the Hedgehog!"
Affy looked around. Shadow had slipped away, and now he was standing on the stage at the microphone.
"This is for a special girl in my life."
If I were a painter, mixing my colors
How could I ever find the blue of your eyes
The canvas could never capture the light of your smile
And girl if I were a sculptor, working in marble
I couldn't hope to copy your perfect face
The curve of your body, the feel of your skin
My hands could never, ever trace
So I'll try and find a melody as beautiful as you
Find the words to say your eyes are bluer than blue
Fill my voice with the emotion I'm feeling for you
And now when the beat is so strong
I'll give my heart in a song
If I were an actor, I could be someone
Someone who always knows the right things to say
But as soon as I'd see you, I'd forget all my lines
And you'd never know what I feel inside
So I'll try and find a melody as beautiful as you
Find the words to say your eyes are bluer than blue
Fill my voice with the emotion I'm feeling for you
And now when the beat is so strong
I'll give my heart in a song
There's no other way
That I know to say
How much I love you
And if you'll only give me a chance
I will try and find a melody as beautiful as you
Find the words to say your eyes are bluer than blue
Fill my voice with the emotion I'm feeling for you
And now when the beat is so strong
I'll give my heart in a song
So I'll try and find a melody as beautiful as you
Find the words to say your eyes are bluer than blue
Fill my voice with the emotion I'm feeling for you
And now when the beat is so strong
I'll give my heart in a song
You know I'm not a painter, actor, baby so it don't matter
I'll give my heart in a song
Affy sat, wide-eyed as Shadow approached her.
"This is my girl, Affy. I love her with all my heart, and it's time I asked her something." Shadow kneeled down and opened the small box he pulled from his pocket, revealing a diamond ring. "Affy, will you marry me?"
The red hedgehog burst into tears. "Oh, Shadow! Of course I will!" She waited long enough for Shadow to put the ring on her finger and then flung herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
He lifted her head with a finger and whispered, "I love you, Affy." Then he placed a gentle kiss on her lips.
A few months later, Shadow stood at the end of the aisle, waiting for Affy to appear. He was incredibly nervous, and yet calm.
Tails stood next to him, being his best man. He placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Calm down, Shadow. You're acting like Sonic near water."
That calmed him. Nothing would make him like Sonic, except the fact that they were both hedgehogs.
He still couldn't believe that Affy had said yes. Sure she loved him, but he didn't know she was that ready. But now...After today, they would be together forever.
Music snapped him out of his reverie and he looked to the end of the aisle. Affy stood there, waiting, and then starting forward towards Shadow. Her dress, made of silk, was pure white with small pink flowers sewn on around the waist. The bouquet in her hands was made of lilies, a single red rose in the center.
Affy was now at Shadow's side, smiling up at him. He smiled back and took her by the arm.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. If anyone here does not approve of this arrangement, speak now, or forever hold your peace." Silence.
The priest continued(FCO But I'm not gonna write it. Takes too long!), and soon, after what seemed like forever, he declared, "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Shadow moved Affy's veil back and bent down, placing a soft yet passionate kiss on her lips. The occupants of the room stood up and clapped as they went back down, hand in hand, smiling. They passed Taffy, who was crying slightly, being held by Knuckles. He was patting her head and mumbling something to her.
The two hedgehogs grinned at the sight, knowing what was coming. Shadow had flipped out when he was told, but was now looking forward to it. Affy had squealed and hugged her, now, sister-in-law and they had chatted endlessly on, planning. The event? Taffy was six weeks pregnant.
After the reception, throwing the bouquet(caught by Amy), and hugging Taffy good-bye, the newly weds made their way to Shadow's car, which had been Silly Stringed, shaving creamed, and tin canned. They got in, and, waving as they pulled away, headed off to their honeymoon.
