None of the characters belong to me!

The hedgehogs' families all sat in the living room, with Sonic's family on one side and Shadow's on the other. Black Doom was glaring at Aleena angrily as the Black Arms soldier tended to his boss' wounds. The queen was glaring back at him as well as Sonia clutched on to her mom tightly as Manic was chowing down on fried rice.

Sonic and Shadow were standing up in between the two sets of people, pretending their parents from killing one another.

"Okay." Sonic said after a moment of silence (save for Manic's loud chewing). He turned to his mother. "Mom, I think you need to apologize to Black Doom for nearly killing him."

The lavender hedgehog pouted and turned her head up to face the ceiling. "I don't know if I sould. He corrupted this family's peace." she looked at the alien and pointed a finger at him. "His presence disturbs us! Especially me!"

Sonic tried to reason with her but Black Doom stopped him. "No Sonic, I'm fine if she doesn't want to apologize." he (sort of) smiled and bended back in his seat. "Although, it would be nice for her to do so for a new family member, such as myself."

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh, haven't you heard? Your son is married to my son so we're basically related."

Silence fell over Sonia and Aleena, their eyes wide and their mouths hung over, as Manic choked on his food. As rice spat out of the emerald hedgehog's mouth, the two females stared at Sonic disbelievingly.

"Sonic, is this true?" his sister asked as Sonic sighed and nodded slowly.

The hedgehog beside him walked into the kitchen, knowing that he's not gonna be recognized to speak anytime soon. Aleena and Sonia took Sonic upstairs, which Manic not far behind as he placed his box in the trash and stuffing his chicken wings in his pouch. He quickly ran up the steps after his family as the ailen soldier went into the kitchen.

Shadow was taking off his gloves and washing his hands when it arrive, ignoring its presence and drying his hands with a dishtowel. The black hedgehog looked at the girly dressed soldier for a moment, before walking to the fridge and asking as he opened it. "Why did my dad make you dress like that?"

"Well, to be honest, I'm not sure why." the soldier stated, having a rather brass voice that didn't go with the feminine attire. "He just threw it at me this morning and told me to wear it or he'll skin me alive."

The dark colored hedgehog nodded solemnly as he pulled out some carrots, tomatoes, and lettuce out of the refrigerator and placed them all out on the counter. As the soldier left the room, Shadow began cutting the vegetables and fruits rather quickly as he searched through the cabinets for any spices. He stopped for a brief second and rushed through the fridge again to grab an already marinated chicken and placed it on a large black pan.

He then sprinkled a little bit more seasonings on it before placing it in the oven. He placed all the ingredients for the salad in a bowl, also chopping onions and cucumbers and added them to it as well. Shadow then grabbed two wooden spoons and started to slowly toss the salad.

Meanwhile in the living room, Sonic's family was back with Aleena and Black Doom glaring at one another yet again. Manic was chewing on his wings in content as his sister stared at the soldier. She turned to her green brother and asked softly. "Hey Manic, do you see that girl over there?"

Manic turned around and instantly saw the love of his life, seeing future images of them dating, getting married, having kids and dying in a full montage. "Yeah, isn't she beautiful?"

"Well I don't think that she is really a-" she then looked at his lovestruck brother. "Wait! What did you say?"

"She's the most prettiest girl I've ever seen!"

"Uh Manic?"

"Yeah sis?"

"Um..." Sonia scratched her neck nervously. "I don't think that she is really a she."

Manic gasped and shouted, grabbing everyone in the living room's attention. "You take. That. Back!" that last word sounded like acid, sending a small chill down his sister's spine.

"Nope. I'm not taking it back if it's the truth."

Manic growled. "That's it! Mom, hold my chicken." he handed his mother his chicken bones as he threw himself at Sonia, them tussling and rolling on the floor. Sonic sighed as he walked over to his fighting siblings. Leave it to the middle child to stop a fight.

Shadow poked his head out of the kitchen and to immediately put it back in to avoid getting hit by a vase. He looked over to see Manic throwing fine china at Sonia as she screamed for someone to help her. Aleena gasped and had ran to help Sonic. Black Doom followed as well, going to see how this turns out.


They were in the dining room. Manic was pouncing on the wooden table like a cat and tackling Sonia as they rolled around in a full fledged brawl under the table. Sonic, Aleena, and Black Doom had came into the room as they saw the heard groans and grunts under the piece of furtinutre that stood in front of them.

"Don't worry, I'll get them." the alien reassured as the purple hedgehog gave him an angered look. He shrugged and, grabbing the red curtain, dove under the table. There was several grunts and small shrieks but nothing that big of a deal. Black Doom had came out in one piece, with the curtain in the form of a sack that held both Sonia and Manic.

"Now, why exactly did you have to do that?" Aleena stated, pointing a finger at the mass in the back that was two-thirds of her children. "Couldn't you have just thrust them out like someone with sense would do?"

"I did this so I wouldn't have to hear any of your so called children speak. And also not to contract any unwanted diseases that you mortals may or may not have by getting bitten or something." he started to walk into the living room but then stopped dead in his tracks and say over his shoulder. "By the way, your so called 'children' look nothing like you."

"That's because they look like my brothers and late husband!" the queen spat as the dark creature scoffed.

"And none of them look like you!? How disappointing..."

Meanwhile in the living room, Shadow along with the Black Arms soldier and Doom's Eye was playing Go Fish. The black hedgehog was shuffling through his cards when his father, his mother-in-law, his husband and a sack that probably had his brother and sister-in-law in it entered the room.

Sonic sniffed the air and sighed in content at the wonderful scent. "Hey Shads, what's cooking?"

"The chicken. It's still in the oven while the salad is finished and in the fridge until the chicken and mashed potatoes are done. I'm going make the gravy once the potatoes are done and the pieces of wedding cake will be delivered by Tails honce while we're eating." Shadow stated quickly as Sonic gave him a blank look.

"Geez, I just ask what's cooking and you give me a full report of the food we're eating."

The obsidian hedgehog chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "Sorry..."

"No no, it's alright." Sonic put out his hands defensively in front of him.

As they all sat down on the couch and the starfish ailen thing placed their cards away, Black Doom drops the curtain sack to release both Sonia and Manic. They both had bruises on their arms and legs with the pink hedgehog having a black eye and the green one having a deep bite mark on his left shoulder.

Aleena gasped. "Oh my Chaos, what have you two done to yourselves?"

"Sonia was being mean to me and making fun of someone...that I like." Manic stated, blushing near the end.

"Well yeah, but he thinks she is a girl, in which she's not!" Sonia stated defiantly. "And I have proof!" she got up and grunted with every step she took. When she reached the soldier, she pointed at him. "Does this look like a girl to you?"

Everyone nodded as Sonia growled and ripped off the dress that he wore. The soldier covered himself as if he was in the shower as everyone gawked and Manic's nose began to bleed.

"Now does he look like a girl to you?"

Everyone shook their heads as the ailen soldier snatched his dress and rushed up the stairs. Silence flew among the group as Manic walked up to his sister and whacked her upside the head.

After that, no one said anything to anyone over dinner or when it was time to hit the hay and go to bed. The only conversation that was had was between Sonic and Shadow when they got to bed.

"Uh Sonic?" Shadow had asked, snuggling into the covers as Sonic took off his shoes and got under the blankets with his mate. "Do you think its okay to have our families together under the same roof for a week?"

"They'll get along eventually and besides, we were gonna do it anyways."

"I wasn't..." the black and red hedgehog admitted.

"Why?"

"Well, my dad never really cared about me like your family does. He's probably doing it now because he knows this can lead to...you know." Sonic blushed as Shadow twiddled his thumbs awkwardly.

"Well...I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that and get some sleep now." he cuddled up to Shadow and closed his eyes. Shadow sighed and turned off the lamp, cuddling against Sonic...until he realized a third person was sleeping in the bed. The black hedgehog turned back on the lamp to see his dad staring at him.

Black Doom "grinned" and looked at both Mobians. "Hey there, you two. Doing anything interesting tonight?"

Suddenly the ailen was thrown down the steps and onto the living room sofa in a matter of seconds as the newlyweds' bedroom door slammed shut.

Hope you enjoyed that! Sorry it took kind of long to update but my sister was hogging the computer away from me! So...yeah see ya! Please review, fave, and follow!
