ooooooooooooooooooo

"Crap," Sonic sat on a boulder and brought his knees to his chest, holding on firmly. "I can't believe I kissed Shadz."

Sonic's eyes peered into the sparkly, soothing and crisp waterfall before him and began to let his mind wonder with remorse. There was no way that Shadow was going to talk to him again.

"He probably thinks I'm a fruit now..."

The azure hedgehog became very emotional and let some tears fall down his cheeks. He really wanted to become best friends with his counterpart, and he blew it with an unconscious smooch.

Now they were rivals times 10.

When Sonic had looked at Shadow, he could see nothing but shock and fear in those ruby red eyes. Sonic knew right then and there that he had done something very wrong.

Actually, he didn't know it first, but when he saw how close they were when they parted, the light pink blush of surprise on Shadow's face, and the way his own peach lips were all tingly and stuff...

Their "budding friendship" was SO over.

'I'm sorry Shadz,' Sonic shed some more tears. 'I didn't mean to kiss you. Please forgive me.'

At that exact moment, he his phone started to vibrate.

"Huh?"

He took the phone out of his sock and looked at the screen. He began to freak out just a little because he thought it was Shadow calling to curse him out for what just happened, but it was only Rouge.

'You, my friend, have been invited to another one of my totally fabulous parties! The party starts tomorrow night at 8pm, so don't be late! Oh and by the way, it's supposed to snow tomorrow, so please, don't forget to dress warmly! Can one of you guys bring an empty beer bottle too? Thanks! ~Rouge the Bat'

Sonic put his phone back in his sock and began to cry again.

'Great, this is just great,' he thought sarcastically. 'I bet she invited Shadz.'

It was no secret that Rouge had a crush on Shadow. Knuckles was the only one who didn't know. Almost every time she had the chance, she would try and seduce or get really close the black hedgehog, but those tactics would never work. Little did any one know, Shadow actually thought that she was a slut and she needed to stop trying to win his heart because she'd never have it with how she was trying to get it.

Sonic wiped the tears from his eyes.

'Should I go?'

He looked at the rock he was sitting on and sighed.

'Or should I not even bother to show up?'

Sonic decided to take some time before he made his mind. He still had until tomorrow night.

ooooooooooooooooooo

Shadow walked into the pharmacy as best he could, trying not to show any form of awkwardness from past events.

As he opened the door, a little bell above him started ringing, which let the employees know that there was another customer who had entered the store.

Shadow went to the aisle which was called "Headache/Migraine Controllers", a very stupid name in his opinion, and looked around for some Excedrin. When he found it, he took it to cashier at the counter and paid for it.

Shadow left the store feeling tired. He popped some pills in his mouth and sighed.

He still hadn't forgotten about the kiss. The memory was as clear as pure water in a glass pitcher.

Shadow shivered at the thought of Sonic's lips against his again.

'Gross...I still don't know why he did that.'

Shadow proceeded to walk home before the autumn breeze became colder.

'Sonic is a GIANT weirdo.'

When Shadow arrived at his house, he immediately went upstairs and shut the door behind him. He sat on his bed and took of his shoes, his gloves and his jacket.

The black hedgehog took out his phone to see if he had any unread messages. Turns out, he had only one.

'I bet it's from Rouge,' he thought, snickering a bit.

And indeed it was.

Shadow had been invited to another one of the bat's parties as everybody else had. Cream had went on a vacation with her mother, so she didn't count.

The black hedgehog read the text one last time, and he read the very last sentence very slowly.

'And Shadow, you don't have to come if you don't want to. I understand that you need your space. And don't you ever trick me like that again!'

Shadow scratched his ear. They were finally understanding. He felt kinda bad though. He liked to be alone, but he didn't like to be alone all the time. And out of all his friends, he preferred Sonic's company the most, even though he was pretty annoying. Weird, right?

It wasn't because he was just lonely and the azure hedgehog was almost always there, it was because Sonic cared enough to go out of his way to try and make someone else feel better.

That's what a true friend does. It that what Sonic wanted with him? A friendship?

'Sonic probably thinks I'll never talk to him again. I wasn't mad, I was...surprised. I mean, I'm not gonna freak out because of that, but...why did he kiss me?'

Shadow got off of his bed and went down stairs to his kitchen to make some food.

'Maybe I will go to that party tomorrow.'

ooooooooooooooooooo

"So do you think Shadow is gonna show up?" Blaze said, hanging some orange streamers on the ceiling of the famous Club Rouge.

"No," Rouge said sadly after blowing up and tying a bright red balloon. "but I really hope he does."

"Well, I hope Sonic shows up," Amy sighed dreamily. "it would break my heart if he didn't."

Rouge and Blaze just rolled their eyes and continued putting up decorations.

It was like Amy wanted the whole world to know she had a "crush" on Sonic the Hedgehog, but a lot of girls (and many boys), anthropomorphic and human alike, had a crush on him.

"I don't think Sonic's going to miss an opportunity like this because I DO throw the best parties in all of Mobius." Rouge bragged.

"Yeah, I have to admit, your parties are amazing." The purple cat picked up a cloth with polisher stuff on it, took down the disco ball very carefully and began to rub the cloth against it.

"What do you think I should wear for the party tomorrow?" Amy asked.

"Whatever you wanna wear," Rouge replied, which wasn't much help for the pink hedgehog.

"Something snazzy and cute," Blaze chimed in. "like a sparkly red tube top with white frilly stuff on the end."

"That's sounds wonderful! But I don't have anything like that in my closet." The pink hedgehog hung a green streamer on the ceiling.

"Well then, don't worry. I'm sure you'll find something."

"Yeah..."

Amy really wanted to impress Sonic. She would do anything for him, but what she had for him wasn't really love, it was more like an obsession. She got jealous if she didn't get much attention from him and then she would go crazy and start swinging her piko-piko hammer around and then everyone would freak out and evacuate the area before any damage was done to anything or anyone.

Yep. Those were good times. NOT!

"Or," the purple cat continued. "I could make you one."

Amy gasped with delight.

"You'd do that for me?"

"Sure. I could use the practice anyways."

The pink hedgehog's forest-green eyes sparkled with undeniable joy.

Rouge taped one last balloon to the wall and sighed with relief of finally finishing. She hadn't heard a single word of Blaze and Amy's conversation.

"Yes! I finished! My lips taste funny and I cant feel my fingers, but anything is worth beautifying my gorgeous club!"

The bat took a good look around the place and felt the pride building up in her presence. Her club had been turned into a rainbow wonderland for children with an obsession of unicorns and fairies. There was still something missing though. Something that would make the place...shine and sparkle.

"Glitter!" she yelled.

"Wha!" Blaze jumped up a little bit and the disco ball almost slipped from her gloved hands.

"Oops, sorry Blaze, I just remembered something that I forgot to put on the walls."

Rouge scurried over to the storage closet and pulled out a glitter gun, something that Tails made for her previous birthday.

"Let's make it shine."

Rouge pointed the gun at one of the walls and pulled the trigger. Out came a blast of shiny dots that quickly covered the wall. Blaze and Amy looked at the wall with amazement.

"Is it gonna come off?" Blaze asked.

"Nope! Not for a long time..." Rouge put her hands on her hips and smiled.

"I'm gonna ask Tails if he can make me one too!" Amy rushed out of the club, heading for the young kitsune's house.

The cat and the bat continued putting finishing touches around the place.

'This party won't really be any fun,' Rouge thought, sighing. 'If Shadow doesn't show up.' She continued to blast glitter on the other walls.

**Commercial Break time again! Did you know that video games increase the intelligence in some people? No? Well, now you do!**

ooooooooooooooooooo

The day of Rouge's party finally came. As she had said, there were snow flurries drifting around slowly in the crisp, cool, dry air and the bare trees were becoming covered in the stuff by the minute. Nobody forgot to dress warmly on the way there.

About 15 minutes before the party started, Sonic was still clueless about showing up, so he flipped a coin. Heads meant he stayed home, and Tails meant he went to the party.

(Flashback)

Sonic was in the kitchen drinking some hot chocolate with just a hint of vanilla extract.

He still hadn't made up his mind about coming to Rouge's party.

'I know how to settle this,' Sonic went upstairs as an idea popped into his head. 'I'll flip a coin! It's an equal 50-50 chance of going or staying!'

The azure hedgehog began to rummage through his things for a penny. His room was almost completely destroyed when he finally found one under his bed. He went back down the stairs and sat on the couch.

"Alright, Mr. Penny," Sonic placed the coin in the middle of the palm of his gloved hand. "I sure you wont mind if I toss you just this once..."

Sonic threw the coin into the air with a faint smile across his peach muzzle, waiting for the results.

The coin landed on the table with a loud klanking noise and began to spin around.

Sonic bit his lip in suspense.

'Come on...'

Eventually, the coin came to a stop and fell over. The azure hedgehog looked at the side that was facing him. His emerald green eyes widened at what he got.

Tails.

'Well,' Sonic thought, sighing as he put the penny on the table in his jacket pocket. 'The penny has spoken.'

Sonic went upstairs again to go grab his keys. While he was up there, he looked at the alarm clock on his nightstand.

'7:43...'

The azure hedgehog rushed out of the house, not forgetting to lock the door, and headed towards Club Rouge.

'Geez, I didn't know it was going to be this cold.'

Sonic shivered a bit and quickened his pace, his pace soon turning into running.

(End flashback)

Sonic hesitated before he walked in to the club.

The azure hedgehog looked around the place and smiled. The walls and the ceiling were covered in glitter, streamers and balloons, he looked at Tails, who was eating a handful of chips, and he looked at Knuckles, who was drooling at the sight of Rouge's big butt, which was being squeezed into a slender indigo tube dress.

'Good. Shadz isn't here yet, and hopefully, he doesn't show up.'

The bat turned around and went to greet Sonic.

"Oh Sonic!" The bat hugged the azure hedgehog rather tightly. "I'm so glad you could make it."

Sonic could hardly breathe in between Rouge's giant boobs. Knuckles stared at the two with jealousy because he wished he was in Sonic's position.

"Um Rouge?" came the azure hedgehog's muffled voice. "I'm uh...kinda stuck here."

The bat looked down at Sonic and gasped.

"Oops, sorry hun. I guess I got carried away there..."

Rouge released the azure hedgehog from her grasp and sighed sadly.

"Unfortunately, Shadow won't be joining us today..."

'Yeah, and it's all my fault.' Sonic thought with a tinge of guilt.

"Well, that's too bad," Tails added. "cuz he's gonna miss all the fun!"

"Hey you guys," came a velvety voice from the entrance of the club. "Did I miss anything?"

Rouge looked at the source of the voice and her teal eyes sparkled with joy.

"Shadow!"

The bat wrapped her arms around the black hedgehog and smiled.

Sonic couldn't believe it. Shadow actually showed up to the freaking party! He couldn't bring himself to say a word, as if he had no mouth.

'Why?'

He looked to the ceiling and wished for a miracle that would free him from his guilt.

"Hey Sonic," Knuckles placed a hand on Sonic's shoulder with concern, noticing the weird look on his face. "are you alright?"

Sonic looked at the echidna and smiled.

"Yeah, I'm fine. So..." Sonic's smile turned into a cheesy grin. "you've been having awkward fantasies about Rouge lately. Haven't you Knux?"

Knuckles cheeks reddened with embarrassment.

"N-no! W-What makes you say that?"

"You can't lie to me," the azure hedgehog chuckled. "I just saw you looking at her butt."

"I don't like her like that."

"Yes you do."

"No I-"

"Hi everyone!" Amy busted through the doors, panting. "Sorry I'm late. I lost my headband on the way here, but it's okay because I had a spare on me."

"Oh no..." Sonic whispered.

Amy was wearing a pale pink cotton dress with a white ribbon around her waist. She wore some white flats and a lacy white cardigan to complement the ribbon.

'This outfit will have Sonic falling for me in no time,' she thought happily.

"Amy, that is a beautiful dress." Rouge let go of Shadow and eyed Amy's dress with awe. "You have to tell me where you got it."

"Actually, Blaze made it for me." Amy giggled.

"Speaking of Blaze," Knuckles looked around. "where is she?"

"I'm right here," Blaze walked in with a cup of coffee in her hand.

"Blaze, you have got to make me a dress like that." The bat walked up to the cat.

"Okay, what kind of dress do you want?"

"Well..."

Rouge and Blaze's conversation trailed off, as did they, and Amy ran up to Sonic and hugged him.

"Oh Sonic! I missed you so much!" she squealed. How could she say that when the last time she saw him was yesterday?

"Amy..." Sonic managed to speak. "You're kinda...crushing...me..."

The pink hedgehog pouted and let go of her obsession.

Knuckles tried not to laugh at Sonic.

"So, do you like my dress?" Amy twirled around like a ballerina.

"Uh..." The azure hedgehog had no idea what to say.

'Yes!' she thought. 'I left him speechless!'

"My dress is that beautiful, huh?" Amy batted her eyelashes.

Sonic just hoped that she would go somewhere and leave him be. It was bad enough that he accidentally kissed his rival, and Amy was just making it worse.

"Amy!" Rouge cried out. "come here so I can see the designs on your dress!"

"Kay!" she replied. She turned back to Sonic and caressed his cheek with her hand in a seductive manner. "I'll be back for you..."

Sonic felt completely grossed out. He just wanted to crawl into a ditch and die. Why doesn't she understand that he doesn't want her?

Knuckles couldn't hold it in anymore. He bursted out with laughter.

"Oh my god! You...you should see the look on your face right now! It's priceless!"

The echidna fell to the floor, cackling away like a crazed hyena. All Sonic could do was glare at him with a look that said: "If I could kill you right now, I TOTALLY would because you are NOT helping."

Sonic walked away from the echidna and sighed. He picked up a nearby, unopened soda on the counter at the bar with many others, went outside and sat on the steps.

'I haven't even been here for an hour and I'm already stressed out.' he thought, opening the soda and taking a sip.

ooooooooooooooooooo

Shadow was confused. He knew he saw Sonic when he came in. Was he seeing things? The black hedgehog decided to ask around.

"Tails," he walked up the yellow kitsune, who was eating a cucumber sandwich. "have you seen-"

"Sonic?" Tails interrupted. "I saw him a few minutes ago. He looked upset, but maybe I'm wrong..."

"Any ideas on where he is now?"

The fox pointed towards the entrance, absentmindedly stuffing some sushi in his mouth.

"Thanks. And I hope you know you just ate some sushi..."

Tails hated sushi. Immediately, he grabbed a napkin and politely spit the sushi out.

Shadow smirked and went outside to talk to his counterpart.

Tails eyed the black hedgehog suspiciously.

'What's gotten into him? Since when did he care about Sonic?'

The fox thought for a moment, and then shrugged his shoulders.

'Maybe they're friends now...'

ooooooooooooooooooo

Sonic didn't even look up when he heard the doors open. He just continued to sip on his soda, watching the snow float around and land on the ground. He didn't know who was behind him, and he didn't want to know either.

"Faker?" Shadow asked, trying to get the azure hedgehog's attention. "what's wrong?"

Sonic's heartbeat quickened. Out of all the people in that club, it just had to be Shadow. But, of course he preferred him over Amy...

"Nothing."

"Oh come on, you can tell me," Shadow sat down next to Sonic. "after all, we are friends, right? And friends help each other out, especially when they need it most..."

The azure hedgehog's eyes widened and his cheeks turned pink. Shadow had accepted his friendship? So he didn't hate him after what happened yesterday?

Sonic sighed and placed his soda beside him.

"I don't wanna be here."

"Then why did you show up?" Shadow crossed his arms.

"Because..." Sonic tried to think of an answer. "because I didn't want anyone to be worried sick about me. And I flipped a coin to determine whether I came or not."

"A coin?"

"Yeah. If I got heads, I would stay home, and if I got tails, I would come to the party."

"And you got tails."

"Yep."

"Well," Shadow wrapped the white scarf around his neck a tad bit tighter. "sometimes you have to do what is best for you, and not anyone else, even if it might upset somebody."

Sonic looked at Shadow.

"What do you mean?"

"You know how everyone isn't the same?"

"Yeah..."

"Different decisions for different people," Shadow concluded with a warm smile.

Sonic nodded with understanding.

"Thanks Shadz."

"Anything for a friend."

Shadow took a good look at Sonic. He still looked troubled with something.

"Sonic..." the black hedgehog stood up. "is there anything else bothering you?"

Sonic stood up as well and looked at his counterpart with a look that said: "you know what it is."

Shadow got the message and smiled.

"It's okay. I know you didn't mean to kiss me," Shadow's voice became more sincere. "I'm not going to hate you for that. One question though: why did you do it?"

"I..." Sonic replied slowly. "I don't know. It just...happened."

"Well, try not to think about it so much," the black hedgehog walked up to the entrance. "otherwise..."

"Otherwise what, Shadz?" Sonic followed his rival.

Shadow didn't answer. Instead, he chuckled lowly and walked back inside the club.

Sonic picked up his soda can on the steps, took a deep breath, and walked in after Shadow.

ooooooooooooooooooo

"Ladies and gentlemen," Rouge said, her voice booming voice through the microphone as she stood next to the Karaoke Dokie 2000, another device that Tails made to give her parties some more pizzazz. "since we are all here, I would like to start this party off with a traditional game of..."

'Oh no,' Shadow thought. 'don't say it.'

"truth or dare!"

ooooooooooooooooooo

Hunter: Northern, why did you do that?! This chapter is amazing.

Me: Sorry Hunter, but this chapter was getting too long.

Hunter: Well, could you hurry up and write the next chapter?

Nori: Hunter, patience is key.

Hunter: (crosses his arms) Patience is key my ass...

Okay, normally, I try to spend at least a week writing stuff, but I finished this one early, so yeah...

Giovanni: Please R&R! Pretty please?

Max: (pouting) Hey, that's my line.

Giovanni: (snickering) Well, it's mine now.
