Phase I: Let's Go On Vacation!
Sonic smirked at his 'masterpiece', a giant pile pancakes stacked on top of each other with what looked a popsicle stick on top. The blue hedgehog picked up his pancakes by the stick before taking a bite out of them, syrup dribbling down his chin.
He looked up at the clock. 9:59 Am. A grin suddenly spread across his face as an idea came into his head. But his thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of the telephone. His grin was replaced with a frown as he walked over to the phone.
"Hello?" he greeted whoever was on the other end of the phone. The grin returned to his face when he heard the voice on the other end. "Hello Lady Vanilla. Is everything okay? You don't usually call first thing in the morning."
"I know and I'm sorry. But I wanted to ask if you would like to go with us to a beach resort. I heard that there are some cherry blossom trees that grow in the area. When I told Cream about it she insisted that I call all of her friends and ask them to come along."
"Sure!" replied the hedgehog. "Sounds like fun. You can tell Cream that I'll defiantly be there."
"I will, Sonic. The resort is called the Sakura Beach Resort. From where you are it should be easy to get to by sea."
Sonic tensed at the word 'sea'.
"If you go to the harbor and let them know that the fee will be paid when you get there I'll pay for you."
"You don't have to do that."
"Oh no, I insist upon it. By the way, you wouldn't happen to know where Shadow is would you? Cream wanted to invite him along too be we don't know how to contact him."
"Don't you worry. I'll find Shadow and drag him along if I have to."
"Thank you Sonic. Oh, and by the way, if you want to get to the resort on time you're probably going to have to set off tomorrow."
"Right then. I've gotta go. I'll see you at the resort, Lady Vanilla."
As Sonic put the phone down a look of worry came across his face. It just had to be sea didn't it? As long as he stayed away from the sides of the boat he'd be alright wouldn't he? He sighed, closing his eyes, suddenly remembering that he promised to bring Shadow along too. He reopened his eyes and headed over to the bedroom.
As he entered the room, he saw a lump underneath the bed sheets. He smirked and slowly began creeping over, but stopped when he stepped on something. He looked down to see that he had stepped on a tube, the clear substance inside had splattered all over the floor.
It was then that sonic remembered the crazy night that had happened the night before. He smiled dreamily as the memories came back to him before proceeding over to the bed. With a sly grin, he jumped on top of the lump yelling at the top of his lungs: "TIME TO GET UP!!"
The lump underneath the bed groaned before a black and red arm came out from under the covers, attempting to push the blue hedgehog off but to no avail. Sonic laughed, getting off of the bed. A sigh of relief was heard from under the covers. Sonic smirked, moving down to the end of the bed and grabbing the covers. His smirk widened as he pulled the covers off of the bed, revealing a very annoyed Shadow.
"There's my pooch," Sonic said, grinning and jumping on the bed near Shadow.
"How many times have I told you not to call me that?" Shadow asked, the annoyance clear in his voice as he spoke.
"That's the eighth time this week," replied Sonic, looking rather proud of himself.
Shadow shook his head, smirking before wrapping his arms around Sonic and pulling him closer. "What am I gonna do with you, you idiot."
"Love me?" replied Sonic, hopefully.
Shadow had to let out a laugh, ruffling Sonic's quills. "I always will," he said softly before practically throwing Sonic off of him and exciting the room.
"You call that love?"
Shadow only smirked as he entered the kitchen, picking up the pancakes Sonic had been eating and taking a bite out of them. His smirk faded as certain thoughts entered his mind. He and Sonic had been boyfriends for about two months, maybe just over. The thing was though; Sonic didn't want anyone else to know. He's seen it himself. People who have done absolutely nothing wrong in their lives were shunned just because they didn't like those of the opposite sex.
"Are you listening to me Shadow?"
Said hedgehog looked at Sonic, breaking out of his thoughts. Sonic was stood by the refrigerator, staring over his shoulder at Shadow. "Wha?" was the black hedgehog's reply.
Sonic sighed, grabbing what looked like eight month old cheese before taking a bite out of it, earning a look of disgust from Shadow.
"I said: Lady Vanilla has invited us to go on vacation with everyone," Sonic repeated since Shadow didn't hear him the first time.
"And you're telling me why?" was Shadow's reply.
"Because Cream wanted both me and you to come."
"And what did you say?"
"That I'd go and if you said no I'd drag you along anyway."
Shadow heaved a sigh, closing his eyes before finishing off the giant stack of pancakes. He then felt a slight breeze as Sonic rushed out of the room. Retching could then be heard in the bathroom. "It's your own fault for eating the cheese!" Shadow called out to him, hoping that his blue mate could hear him.

Later that day, Sonic stood in the bedroom, two suitcases on the bed. The dark blue one belonged to Sonic while the pitch black one belonged to Shadow. There were some random clothes tucked neatly away in both suitcases. There were also towels, toothbrushes, toothpastes, deodorant sprays, mp3 players, torches, sunglasses, sunscreen, shampoo, combs, and a tube of lubricant in Shadow's suitcase.
Sonic smiled before closing both suitcases. And jogging out of the bedroom and into the living room where Shadow lay on the couch watching something random on the television.
"Every thing's packed for tomorrow," the blue hedgehog announced.
"Hey," Shadow said, not taking his eyes off of the television. "Are you sure you're gonna be alright tomorrow? I mean...you're terrified of water. Not only will we need to cross the ocean to get to the resort, but the resort itself will be surrounded by water. Are you sure you can handle it?"
Sonic looked at Shadow's crimson eyes before replying: "As long as I've got someone with me, I should be fine."
Shadow's gaze shifted from the television to Sonic before he grinned, opening his arms for the blue hedgehog. Sonic, in return smiled and happily jumped into Shadow's arms.

Sonic made a gulping sound as he looked up at the ship that was floating on the water. It was just as he had expected. A fairly large boat that was black on the bottom with two stripes above it, one red and one blue. The blue hedgehog could feel some of his fur sticking on end but soon relaxed when he felt and hand entwine with his own. He looked to his left to see Shadow with a reassuring smile on his face. Sonic smiled back before the two got onto the boat and told the captain where they wanted to go.
The blue hedgehog sat on the bed he would have to use that night since the trip to the resort took more than a day to get there. He heard the door open and shut softly. He then felt some extra weight on the bed. He didn't need to look up to see who it was.
Shadow had decided to check on Sonic since the blue hedgehog had freaked out a couple of times that day, but soon calmed down afterwards. He would have to apologize to the captain for what Sonic had done to the toilet in one of the spare rooms. And trust me, you do not want to know what happened.
"You know, Sonic," Shadow began, placing his hand on top of Sonic's. "We're gonna be around the others for quite a while. That means we can't be together as much. Not mention that when we are together we're gonna have to be careful of how we act."
"I know," replied the blue hedgehog, his eyes drooping. "But do we really have to sleep in different rooms tonight? What if I freak out again?"
Shadow placed his hand under Sonic's chin, forcing the blue hedgehog to look at him, his eyes heavy lidded. "The moment you freak out," he said in a soft, caring voice, "I'll be right here besides you."
Sonic sighed before wrapping his arms around Shadow's neck and resting his head on the black hedgehog's chest. "I know, Shadow...I know..."
- - -
He stood there, not quite knowing where he was. He knew he was in a field, but where was the field? A small breeze passed him, ruffling his soft blue quills. His emerald eyes looked straight forward before he turned his head to try and figure out where he was.
"Hello?" he called out. No answer. He sighed and began walking forwards. The ground suddenly rumbled from behind the blue hedgehog, making him turn around quickly to see what that was.
"A rattle?" he questioned, looking a giant red and blue rattle that lay on the ground. Another rumble. When he turned around again he saw a giant baby bottle. An ear piecing laugh came from where the rattle was, making the blue hedgehog turn yet again. He gasped upon what he saw.
A large baby hedgehog sat on the ground, shaking the rattle in its hand. It gurgled, standing on two feet before reaching down to grab Sonic. Sonic's first reaction was to try and run from the overgrown baby, but the hedgehog began following him, easily catching up. Sonic let out a scream as he just missed being flattened by the baby's rattle.
The baby, in turn, let out another screech of laughter and continued smacking the rattle on the ground, earning more screams from the blue speedster. Sonic's luck ran out as he tripped, falling to the ground, the baby's rattle falling down on him in slow motion.
- - -
"AHHH!!" Sonic screamed, his eyes snapping open. Sweat was pouring down his face and his breathing was heavy. he quickly looked around, his eyes desperatly attempting to adjust to the darkness.
"Shh, it's okay," a soft voice soothed him.
Sonic soon realized that he was in Shadow's arms. The black hedgehog was gently rocking him back and forth in attempt to calm him down. His chin rested upon the top of Sonic's head. Shadow's hand stroked Sonic's blue quills in a gentle manor only he knew how to do.
"Shadow," the blue speedster whispered, placing his hand on Shadow's chest. "I had the strangest of dream."
"Oh yeah? What about?" asked Shadow, still rocking the blue hedgehog gently back and forth.
"There was a giant baby with a rattle. It was chasing me and trying to squish me with its rattle."
Shadow had an amused look on his face as he continued stroking Sonic's quills. "What did you eat today?"
"Pizza with cherries, a chilidog with whipped cream on top, and that fish you caught."
"You ate that!?"
Sonic slumped down slightly, as if trying to hide from the bad tempered hedgehog. "The fridge was empty," he replied innocently.
The Ultimate Life Form sighed, letting go of Sonic and tucking him back into bed. "You know, you should really stop mixing spicy and sweet foods together, it'll make you sick."
"I know. I just can't seem to help myself lately." Sonic let out a yawn. His black mate kissed him goodnight on the forehead before leaving to his own bed. "Night, Shadow," he heard him say just after he closed the door.
"Goodnight, Sonic."
