Invitations Only

"I can't believe I got an invitation!" squealed Amy Rose. Her eyes were shining as she looked at the pink and black envelop. Cream The Rabbit gave her friend a quizzical look. Lately, that's all everyone was talking about! Normally, people didn't care too much to check their mail, but now, they did it everyday! Amy spun around in a complete circle. The rabbit just sighed.

"I don't see what's so special about it." Cream said as she tied her shoe. Amy couldn't keep her eyes off the piece of paper.

"This isn't just an invitation, Cream. This is the invitation! Do you know how hard it is to land one of these?" The hedgehog replied as she started to fan herself with it. Cream rolled her eyes. What's gotten into you? When Cream remained silent, Amy asked her, "Did you get one? I bet Sonic got one!" Cream just shook her head.

"Nope, I don't even know what it's an invitation for. What makes you think I got one?" Cream said, getting irritated. Amy finally broke away from her letter to gaze at her friend.

"You don't know what this is for? Well, it's -"

"It's an invitation to Rouge's party. Damn, Amy you act like it's the most important thing in the world." A voice interrupted. Cream and Amy turned around to see Shadow The Hedgehog walking towards them. So that's what it is. Amy gave him a crossed look.

"And I'm guessing you got one, too? Unless Rouge is going back with Knuckles-" Amy started. Shadow gave her a warning look before answering.

"I don't know. Unlike some losers I know, I don't check my mail everyday. Look," Shadow said, turning to Cream. "Rouge is throwing some party for her Sweet 16 and only her closest friends are getting invitations-" Before he could finish, Amy butted in the conversation.

"And if you don't get an invite, you're doomed! That's why I'm glad I got mines." By the time she had finished, Shadow had already left. When she realized this, Amy started to pout.

"I can't stand that hedgehog! He is the total opposite of Sonic!" Cream just started to giggle.

Meanwhile, Jet The Hawk and his crew were chilling at their crib. Wave The Swallow searched through her closet frantically. "Where is it?" she growled to herself. Jet looked up from his plasma TV to watch her throw all her belongings on her bed.

"What are you looking for anyways?" he asked her passionately. She was so sexy, but off limits! They were best friends and he wasn't about to brake that. Her high-pitched scream of frustration brought him back to Earth.

"I can't find my halter top! Now I'm going to have to steal me another one!" Jet gave her a surprised look before he turned off the TV.

"What do you need a halter top for? You're not going on a date… are you?" the hawk asked. Wave threw her skirt on the ground in anger.

"You could call it that. But I'm not going if I can't find it!" she answered as she discarded her stockings. Jet jumped over the couch to reach her.

"A date with who?" he asked her in a panic. Don't tell me she has a boyfriend! Wave looked up from her pile of jeans to look at him.

"Rouge." The swallow said plainly. Don't tell me that she's a- "I'm trying to get an invitation to her party." Jet sighed in relief.

"Oh." Was all he said before going back to his plasma. I've got to get me an invitation! If Wave is going to be there… Moments later, the doorbell rang.

"I got it!" Wave shouted as raced to the door. To her surprise, a red echidna was there. Jet turned around to see Knuckles tell Wave something and then hand her a halter-top. Wave said something that Jet couldn't make out and gave Knuckles a hug. Instant jealousy froze on his face. Wave put a hand on his shoulder and walked the red creature out the door. Now I really have to get an invite. I've got to keep an eye on those two! When the purple bird came back in the house, she had a smile on her face…

"Hey Knuckles, wait up!" someone yelled behind him. Knuckles turned around to see a certain bat running towards him. Knuckles smiled warmly at her.

"Well, well, well! If it isn't Rouge!" he teased lightly when she reached him. She punched him in his arm softly.

"Hi to you, too. Look, I have something to ask you." Rouge said quietly. Knuckles just kept on smiling.

"Sure, what is it?" he asked her.

"Next week I'm having a little get together for my birthday. So, can you make it?" she explained quickly. His smile never faded.

"Anything for my girl-" he started, but was cut off by the bat.

"I am not your girl!" she protested. Even with these words, his grin didn't leave his face.

"Then how come you let me do this?" he asked her. She looked him up and down in confusion.

"Let you do what?" she asked, clueless.

"This." The echidna leaned in and kissed her full on the lips. They stayed like that for a minute. Then she broke the embrace.

"Because I can." she replied to his earlier question. Rouge placed an envelop in his hands and walked off. After a moment, Knuckles left as well. Shadow came from behind the bushes that he had been hiding behind. The hedgehog had seen the whole thing unfold in front of his eyes. Flashbacks of him and Rouge clouded his mind. He needed that invitation, and he was willing to do anything to get it.
