Adventures in the Cabin CHAPTER 1
"C'mon Shadow!" Rouge begs.
"No," Shadow says. "I don't want to go."
"Please! All our friends will be there!"
"Your friends," Shadow corrects. "I could care less about those people."
"Shadow being stubborn?" Blaze walks in. "Shadow it's going to be amazing!"
"How do you know what we're even talking about-"
"Blaze!" Rouge hands Shadow her smoothie and runs toward her, arms thrown in the air as a gesture for a hug. Shadow rolls his eyes.
Why does everyone have to love this smoothie place so much? Shadow thinks to himself. Every time he gets to be alone with Rouge, someone has to but-in.
"So, where's lover-boy?" Rouge raises an eyebrow at Blaze.
"He'll be here soon, went to go convince Sonic to come with us."
"That boy has got to get over the whole 'fear of water' thing."
Why does Sonic have to come? Shadow thinks. He has never really liked Sonic. Why should I care anyway? Its not like I'm going…
"Shadow!" Rouge nudges him and takes her smoothie back. "Please come! It'll be boring without you!"
"Humph… I don't know…" Shadow looks down.
"Pease!" Rouge makes puppy-dog eyes, and Blaze joins. "Please!" They shout together.
Those eyes always made Shadow melt. "Fine…" Shadow mutters. Why can't he resist Rouge?
As the girls are giving each other high fives, Shadow rests his head in his palms. What have I just done?
He starts thinking about how the cabin will be like, spending a whole week with five other people? Will we each get our own room? Will I be roomed with someone?
"Hey guys!" Silver waves at everyone. Sonic seems a little out of it.
"You sure Amy will be there?" Sonic asks. Everyone knows Sonic has a little crush on Amy… except Amy.
"Yes, for the last time." Silver grunts.
Blaze runs for a kiss from Silver, and Shadow looks away. He wishes he had that. With Rouge. He loves Rouge, and would do anything for her, and wishes she felt the same.
"So then, everyone's coming?" Silver asks.
"Yup," Blaze answers happily. "finally got Shadow to agree to come." Everyone turns toward Shadow.
"What?" Shadow raises an eyebrow.
"It was Rouge wasn't it?" Sonic teases.
"Fuck you, Sonic." He gets up and starts walking away. Rouge quickly runs after him.
"What was that?" She asks. "He was just messing with you."
"I hate him. Why did you have to invite him?"
"Amy wouldn't go unless he went," She grabs his arm. "I didn't want to invite him, I was sure you wouldn't want to come if he did…" Rouge quickly looks away, her face growing red.
"Rouge," Shadow turns her face toward him. "I'm sorry, I'll go, whether Sonics there or not. And that's a promise."
Rouge smiles. "Thank you, now please come back. Look," She points back to the smoothie bar. "Amy is here."
"Why should I care? Amy is even worse than Sonic." Shadow pulls away from Rouge's grasp. "I'll talk to you later."
"Ok, it's later." Rouge jumps into the sky, spreading her wings. She grabs Shadow under his arms and flies him to the smoothie bar.
"Rouge! Put me down!" Shadow struggles, but Rouge doesn't let go. Sonic and Silver are laughing as Rouge drops Shadow back in the stool he was sitting in a minute ago. "Shut up." Shadow motions for the waitress, and orders a new smoothie.
"Look," Silver says between laughs. "He dropped his smoothie!" He and Sonic are on the floor now.
"C'mon guys, it's not that funny." Blaze grabs their hands and pulls them up.
"Yeah, look, you've upset him!" Any shouts, pointing at Shadow.
"Amy, don't," Rouge sighs.
"So, when are we leaving?" Shadow asks.
"Huh?" Silver turns from his conversation with Sonic about 'how funny Shadow's flight with Rouge' was.
"I said, when are we leaving? To the cabin thing? Where is it?" Shadow asks again.
"Oh, Friday." Blaze interrupts.
"In two days!?" Sonic throws his hands in the air.
"Plenty of time for you to buy a lifejacket." Silver slaps Sonic's back.
"Very funny," Sonic glares at Silver. "besides, I already have a lifejacket…"
"Oh wow," Silver laughs.
"Guys stop," Blaze holds her hands out between them. "I have reminded you all plenty of times. And I'm sure Silver has too."
"Actually I forgot about it until this morning…" Silver rubs the back of his neck.
"Whatever," Blaze walks up to Shadow. "you sure you want to go?"
"Yeah, wouldn't miss it for the world." Shadow says sarcastically.
"Well okay then…" Blaze turns toward everyone else. "So, everyone better get packing!" She grabs Silver's hand. "Bye everyone!" she shouts.
Everyone waved back.
