Chapter Two

Excitement

That evening everyone was at Amy's Apartment, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Rouge, Shadow, Sonic, Tails, Silver, Blaze, the Chaotix, Big and Froggy were all sitting on the red crushed velvet chairs and sofas in Amy's large living room. Amy was sitting near the window holding up the tickets.

Shadow was sitting next to Rouge on the large crushed velvet sofa who was looking very excited, Shadow was trying to listen to Amy but he found it difficult as Rouge was in his view. "so anyway" said Amy excitedly "we'll be flying out to the most hottest, fun-filled, not to mention romantic…" she stopped to cringe in pleasure at the thought "place on Mobius!"

Everyone looked at each other in awe, then Amy looked towards Cream who was sitting near the door "Cream!" she said excitedly "will you turn the lights out please?" Cream giggled and skipped over to dim the lights. As she did a slideshow came up on the wall and Amy used a remote control to flip the pages.

The first picture that came up was a picture of a large resort surrounded by palm trees, white sand and crystal clear waters. "wow!" cried everyone "Ooohhh!" said Rouge. "this is the resort from the outside" said Amy excitedly "check it out! White sandy beach! Tall palm trees and crystal clear blue waters!"

Knuckles looked at the picture then up into the ceiling and a daydream appeared in his head, he could see himself lying on the beach in his swimming trucks and sunglasses sipping lemonade, watching the sea roll backwards and forwards. "awww" he thought "that would be real heaven! Nice to take a break from guarding the Master Emerald for once"

Then Amy switched to another picture where there were some Mobians doing water-sports such as waterskiing, surfing, scuba diving, and others. Tails and Espio's eyes went wide "oh wow!" they cried, Tails then stared into the air as he imagined himself water-skiing with Espio driving the boat, then he saw himself surfing, "oh yeah!" he thought "I gotta ride the waves!"

"and that's not all!" said Amy looking at Sonic deviously, who blushed and tried to hide behind Big who was staring stupidly at the screen. "the romance!" she flicked to another screen where it showed a picture of the sun setting on the beach. "wow!" cried everyone "Ooohhh!"

"You can see that beautiful sunset on the beach, or you can see it from the best spot in the resort!" she flicked to another page where it showed a couple sitting on a wooden platform at a white clothed table looking at the sunset holding hands. "oh wow!" cried Rouge in excitement "that looks so romantic! Ohh I wish someone would do that for me!"

Shadow looked at Rouge then up at the ceiling, then he imagined himself sitting at the white clothed table with Rouge staring at the sunset, he was holding her hand and smiling at her, with Rouge smiling back at him. He then saw him and Rouge sitting on the beach staring at the setting sun, then he saw Rouge move closer and snuggle up to him, combing her fingers through his soft fluffy chest fur. He then caressed her hair wishing the moment would never end…

"Shadow!" then Amy brought him back down to earth, "snap outta your daydream! I'm talking!" Shadow blushed as he turned to look at Amy, he could see Sonic and Knuckles snickering. "Fuckers!" he thought, Rouge looked at Shadow with a curious eye "what were you dreaming about Shad?" she asked. Shadow blushed harder and shrugged.

Amy talked and talked, by the time the clock struck nine, people were yawning, Big had fallen asleep with Froggy on his chest, Cheese was asleep on Cream's lap, and Knuckles was sleeping on Sonic's shoulder who too was asleep.

Amy looked at everyone, sighed and picked up a whistle, she then took a deep breath and blew it hard, as she did, it let out a sharp whistle, and everyone jerked out of their sleep, except for Big and Froggy who were snoring loudly. Everyone shook themselves free of their sleep and looked at Amy who stood there with her arms folded, "so" she said "everyone excited?"

Everyone began to nod and chat excitedly, Sonic then picked up a poker and began to poke the fat blue cat, who still continued to snore, Shadow began snickering as he watched the large cat rhythmic snores get interrupted by Sonic poking him. "Looks like fun Amy!" said Rouge "sure thing!" said Cream "I can't wait to go!"

"Ok everyone!" said Amy "everyone must know that we must all meet at the Mobotropolis Airport on Thursday night at 6.30 so we can all check in!" "Right on!" said Knuckles, Amy then looked down at Big and sighed "and could one of you make sure that Big arrives on time!" the others nodded.

"I believe we could do that Miss Rose" said Espio from the corner "we the Chaotix can make sure the cat arrives" "that's what we're here for!" said Vector. He hiked his thumb to himself and smiled proudly. Amy shook her head and sighed at the proud crocodile.
