_+Chapter One+_
Sonic was lying in bed, feeling bored and lonely when there was a knock on the door. He got up and opened it, spying Tails with a bag with what seemed to be ingredients for something.
"Hey,buddy," the kitsune said, smiling.
"Hey," Sonic replied, tilting his head toward the bag.
"So,uhm, what's in there?"
"Just ingredients for my AWESOME party-cake demonstration...thing!" Tails said, causing a small rising discomfort in Sonic.
"Okay...?"
Tails took out a huge bowl, and began his "demonstration."
"So, we're gonna have some awesome food, awesome drinks, and stuff n' things!" he said, pouring flour, sugar, and a box of fizzy candy labeled "Stuff n' Things,"however misleading Sonic, since he knew there wouldn't actually be that type of candy there.
"And then," Tails continued, "we're gonna combine three of the best and classic party games ever!" He then took out a small container of pink frosting and a bottle of lemon juice.
"And those party games would be...?" Sonic asked.
"I was getting to that," Tails said moodily. "Those games are 'Truth or Dare,'" he said, flinging a glob of frosting into the bowl, followed by all of the lemon juice to resemble sweet truths and sour dares.
"'Spin the Bottle,'" he said, throwing the bottle into the bowl.
"Annnnnd," he said, dramatically pausing to build suspense. "'Seven Minutes in Heaven!'" he said, pouring a cup full of chocolate into the bowl.
"This is gonna be the weirdest-tasting cake ever."Sonic muttered. Tails, ignoring his comment, picked up the bowl and shoved it in the oven.
"Now, about a 45 minute wait for full bakingness..." he said, getting bored after fifteen seconds then proceeding to take the bowl of random junk out of the oven and setting it on the counter.
"Then we'll have our awesomeness party cake!...Sorta," Tails said, chuckling a bit awkwardly. Sonic crossed his arms, praying silently that he wouldn't have to eat it.
A bit later, after some apple juice, arguing, and decorating, they were all set for everyone to arrive.
"This party's gonna be sooo awesome!" Tails said, dancing a smiled, a little anticipated himself.
The first to arrive was Knuckles. He stepped in, saying a small "Hi" to both of them, then sitting down on the couch.
"Didja see anyone else coming?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah," Knuckles replied, "I saw Amy, I think-"
The door swung open, a horribly pink sight smiling widely in the , heart racing, turned slowly toward the door.
"SONIKKU!" rang the ear-rapingly screeching voice of Amy zoomed over to her alleged "boyfriend," squeezing him in a boa constrictor-tight hug.
"Amy, l-let go...you're...choking me...can't breathe..."Sonic rasped, managing just barely to escape her, gasping for air.
"How have you been, Tails?" she said, turning to him.
"Superbly epic," he replied, sounding quite like the laid-back teenager he was sort of turning into. Knuckles, obviously not getting a "how about you" from her added, "Me, too!"
"Hey, everyone," replied the sweet voice of Cream the Rabbit, followed by her chao Cheese.
"Hey, Cream,"everyone said in unison. She smiled and skipped her way over to Tails.
"Did you help with decorations, Tails?They look divine,"she giggled.
"Of course I did, I'm, like, co-host, I think."
"'Course ya are,bud," Sonic chimed in.
A few minutes of conversation later, Blaze came in, Silver coming in said hello, and more conversation ensued.
Silver sat on the couch next to Knuckles and attempted to start a conversation with him, dumbly starting with, "So...not being an idiot lately?" and recieving a punch to the stomach.
"Dude, what was that for?"
"You just called me an idiot,"Knuckles replied."Heh,and to think you call yourself smart..." He recieved a menacing death glare which made him scoot to the other side of the couch.
Even later, Rouge showed up, fashionably late as usual. "Hi, everyone~"she said in a sultry voice.
"Hey," everyone replied, more consumed in converse than in greetings.
More guests had arrived, including Sonic's siblings Manic and Sonia, the Chaotix, Mighty(who really needs to be used more and again, just saying),even Mephiles, who had been even more harmless lately for some reason.
Just then, the door creaked open. In the doorway stood the seemingly very last guest.
"Ohh, crap..." Sonic gulped.
