Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic or anything thing else I mention in this fic. That includes the songs, obviously.

Ann: Just to let you know, this is actually for Sonic X, but FanFiction doesn't have a catagory for it. Or I just never saw one. And Chris isn't in this but Mighty, from the comics, is in this.

Chapter One

"Okay, is everyone ready for the duets?" Charmy asked.

"Not really..." Knuckles replied.

"Knuckles, thank you for volenteering to go first." Charmy smiled.

"What?" Knuckles looked around.

"Pick someone to be your partner."

"I don't want to do this!" Knuckles yelled.

"Mighty, will you sing with him?" Charmy asked.

"No." Mighty answered.

Charmy sighed. "Please?"

"Come on, it'll be fun!" Sonic pushed Knuckles on the stage and Espio pushed Mighty on the stage.

"I don't want to sing!" Mighty yelled.

"This will be your last time," Charmy anounced. "Ready..."

Mighty glared at Charmy. "No!"

"...Set..."

"No!"

"...Go!" Charmy hit the play button.

"Oh, crap!" Mighty threw his arms in the air.

When I've gone too far
When I've had enough
When I'm losin' ground
Feelin' out of touch
I don't run and hide
I just look inside
For a simple piece of mind
Like a neighborhood
On a city street
I know the path
It knows my feet
And when I feel afraid
Feel like checkin' out
You stand up and take a bow

"I'm depressed." Sonic frowned.

"Why?" Tails asked.

"This isn't by the Beatles..."

You shine when others need you
You speak and I believe you
I know the light, it guides you
I'll join the line that walks behind you

You shine, you shine
Like a window to your heart I see
All the possibilities
You shine, you shine
And everyday's another opportunity
To shine

"What is it with you and the stupid Beatles?" Shadow asked.

"I like the Beatles." Sonic replied.

"You don't even know the Beatles." Amy added.

The way you see the world
The way it sees you back
You're the photographer
You take the photograph
If you don't like the way
The way it looks at you
You've got all the power to choose
Turn right, turn left, turn the other way
Make it light, make it dark, make it go away
I love the way you write the script to your own life
You're the star, you're on tonight

"I DON'T WANT TO BE THE STAR TONIGHT!" Mighty yelled.

"Suck it up!" Knuckles hit him.

And when I feel unnoticed
Just two steps back from hopeless
You turn my world around with a single smile
That's who you are, that's who you are

You shine, you shine
Like a window to your heart I see
All the possibilities
You shine, you shine
And everyday's another opportunity
To shine

"These two are going well." Cream turned to Charmy.

"Thank God there's only ne verse left." Charmy plugged his ears.

I know the light, the light that guides
I'll join the line that walks behind you
You shine, you shine
In my life I know you shine
You shine
Like a window to your heart I see
All the possibilities
You shine
And everyday's another opportunity
To shine

"Are we done yet?" The words spilled out dreafully from Mighty's mouth.

"Yes, choose the next pair." Charmy unplugged his ears.

"I choose Espio." Mighty smiled.

"And I don't care..." Knuckles looked around. "Vector."

"YES!" Vector jumped up.

"No..." Espio buried his face.

Vector grabbed Espio's arm and dragged him to the stage. "Oh! This is going to be so much fun singing with you!"

"Are we ready?" Charmy asked.

"Yep!" Vector smiled.

"Okay, here we go..." Charmy watched Espio slowly shake his head once he hit the play button.

Aloha e aloha e
'Ano 'ai ke aloha e
Aloha ae aloha e
A nu ay ki aloha e

"How am I supposed to sing Dutch?" Espio couldn't read the words.

There's no place I'd rather be
Then on my surfboard out at sea
Lingering in the ocean blue
And If I had one wish come true
I'd surf till the sun sets
Beyond the horizon

"It's not Dutch, you idiot," Vector said. "You sing next."

A wiki wiki mai lohi lohi
Lawe mai i ko papa he'e nalu
Flyin by on the Hawaiian roller coaster ride

"What the...?" Espio's jaw dropped.

"Never mind, I'll sing these parts." Vector closed his mouth.

A wiki wiki mai lohi lohi
La we mai iko papa he na lu
Pi'i na nalu la lahalaha
O ka moana hanupanupa
Lalala i kala hanahana
Me ke kai hoene i ka pu'e one
Helehele mai kakou e
Hawaiian roller coaster ride

"This is too funny!" Shadow couldn't stop laughing. "I think I'm going to die!"

Lalala i kala hanahana
Me ke kai hoene i ka pu'e one
It's time to try the Hawaiian Roller coaster ride

Hang loose, hang ten, howzit, shake a shaka
No worry, no fear, ain't no biggie braddah
Cuttin' in, cuttin' up, cuttin' back, cuttin' out
Frontside, backside, goofy footed, wipe out

"The look on Espio's face!" Shadow fell over.

Looking for the wipeout
Let's get jumpin', surf's up and pumpin'
Coastin' with the motion of the ocean
Whirlpools swirling, cascading, twirling
Hawaiian roller coaster ride

There's no place I'd rather be
Then on my surfboard out at sea
Lingering in the ocean blue
And if I had one wish come true
I'd surf till the sun sets
Beyond the horizon

"If he hears you, you know that your going to be next, right?" Amy turned around to face him.

"I don't care, I'll be dead when the song is over, anyway..." Shadow wiped a tear from his eye.

Charmy smiled and hit the stop button. "You guy are all done. Pick your next--"

"SHADOW! YOUR UP NEXT!" Espio glared at him.

"--Partners..." Charmy finished slowly.

Shadow sighed. "Fine...Fine..."

"Who's going to be paired up with Shadow, Vector?" Charmy asked.

"Rouge." Vector smiled.

Rouge flew n the stage. "Whatever," she winked at Knuckles. "Though I was really hoping to sing with my beloved Knuckles..."

"EW!" Knuckles yelled.

"Jerk..." She glared at him.

"Okay, enough of that..." Charmy closed his eyes. "Just sing." (AN: This song is from the movie RENT, but I changed the song around so it would make sense to the Sonic characters.)

(Shadow)

What'd you forget?

(Rouge)

Got a light?

(Shadow)

I know you? -- You're --

You're shivering

(Rouge)

It's nothing

They turned off my heat

And I'm just a little

Weak on my feet

Would you light my candle?

What are you staring at?

"Their the perfect couple." Sonic smiled.

"Shut up." Knuckles glared at him.

(Shadow)

Nothing

Your hair in the moonlight

You look familiar

Can you make it?

(Rouge)

Just haven't eaten much today

At least the room stopped spinning.

Anyway. What?

(Shadow)

Nothing

Your smile reminded me of -

(Rouge)

I always remind people of - who is she?

(Shadow)

She died. Her name was Maria

"Shut up?" Sonic echoed. "Could I be detecting some defense and love for Rouge?" He smiled.

Knuckles sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Oh! I guessed right!"

"No, you didn't!"

(Rouge)

It's out again

Sorry about your friend

Would you light my candle?

(Shadow)

Well -

(Rouge)

Yeah. Ow!

(Shadow)

Oh, the wax - it's

(Rouge)

Dripping! I like it - between my --

(Shadow)

Fingers. I figured...

Oh, well. Goodnight.

It blew out again?

(Rouge)

No - I think that I dropped my stash

"This song has drugs in it?" Cosmo asked.

"Apparently." Tails replied.

(Shadow)

I know I've seen you out and about

When I used to go out

Your candle's out

(Rouge)

I'm illin' -

I had it when I walked in the door

It was pure -

Is it on the floor?

(Shadow)

The floor?

(Rouge)

They say that I have the best ass below 14th street

Is it true?

(Shadow)

What?

"How old is Charmy? He shouldn't be putting these kinds of songs in here." Knuckles shook his head.

Sonic smiled at Knuckles.

"What?"

"Nice subject change."

(Rouge)

you're staring again.

(Shadow)

Oh no.

I mean you do -- have a nice --

I mean -- You look familiar

(Rouge)

Like your dead girlfriend?

(Shadow)

Only when you smile.

But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else --

(Rouge)

Do you go to Eggman's club

That's where I work - I dance - help me look

(Shadow)

Yes!

They used to tie you up -

(Rouge)

It's a living

"This is a weird song." Eggman stated.

"Eggman, go away." Amy glared at him.

(Shadow)

I didn't recognize you

Without the handcuffs

(Rouge)

We could light the candle

Oh won't you light the candle

(Shadow)

Why don't you forget that stuff

You look like you're sixteen

(Rouge)

I'm nineteen - but I'm old for my age

I'm just born to be bad

(Shadow)

I once was born to be bad

I used to shiver like that

(Rouge)

I have no heat - I told you

(Shadow)

I used to sweat

(Rouge)

I got a cold

(Shadow)

Uh huh

I used to be a junkie

Eggman glared back and walked away.

Amy saw the glare, pick up a full water bottle and threw it at him hitting the back of his head.

"OW!"

(Rouge)

But now and then I like to --

(Shadow)

Uh huh

(Rouge)

Feel good

(Shadow)

Oh here it---

(Rouge)

What's that?

(Shadow)

Candy bar wrapper

(Rouge)

We could light the candle

Oh what'd you do with my candle?

(Shadow)

That was my last match

(Rouge)

Our eyes'll adjust, thank God for the moon

Amy sat down like nothing happened and watched Shadow and Rouge.

"Stupid little brat..." Eggman muttered to himself.

(Shadow)

Maybe it's not the moon at all

I hear Spike Lee's shooting down the street

(Rouge)

Bah humbug ... Bah humbug

(Shadow)

Cold hands

(Rouge)

Yours too.

Big. Like my father's

You wanna dance?

(Shadow)

With you?

(Rouge)

No - with my father

(Shadow)

I'm Shadow

(Rouge)

They call me

They call me Rouge

"And...DONE!" Charmy hit the stop button. "Who's up next?"

Shadow and Rouge smiled at each other and at the same time theye replied. "Sonic and Amy."
