Shadow's Arrival
Chapter Two
The disclaimer is exactly the same as the last chapter, and I doubt it'll ever change in this story, just for the record.
"Gahlik, Espio's scaring me..." Amy whimpered. Espio was grinning now, and everyone who could see was scared out of their minds. Lightning was flashing, spooky music was playing, a full moon was in the sky, Knuckles was screaming bloody murder, and some guy was watering his lawn with syrup.
"Your dare is...let's see, Vinny, Gahlik, Jayln, and Knuckles have yet to do anything embarrassing unlike the rest of us, so...Amy, you have to...spray whipped cream all over Knuckles' face and lick it off!" Espio exclaimed. Amy's face turned green, and Knuckles walked in. Espio and Gahlik then tied Knuckles down, and Vinny grabbed a wooden chair and sat Knuckles on it. Vinny then tossed a full can of whipped cream to Amy, who caught it. Espio, Jayln, and Gahlik started snickering as Vinny turned on the camcorder. Amy shook the can and sprayed it all over Knuckles' face.
"What is this?" Knuckles roared angrily. Amy shuddered, and looked even greener.
"Do I have to do this, and not Jayln, or Vinny?" Amy asked hesitantly. Vinny and Jayln exchanged mortified looks.
"No, they have yet to do anything bad...to me." Espio replied. Amy sighed, her tongue rolling out of her mouth. Taking the chance, Shadow pushed her into Knuckles, and she started licking the whipped cream off. Knuckles struggled to get free, but failed. Amy's eyes were closed, and she was slightly crying.
"Where'd Sonic go?" Jayln asked randomly. Everyone shrugged, before a special news bulletin appeared in the T.V. It showed a picture of Shadow, only painted blue.
"Sonic the Hedgehog, seen above, was caught doing baaaaaad things, like taking candy from babies, popping balloons, and not paying taxes. He is currently being forced into jail for...wait, Jim, what was it? Oh, okay...he's stuck there until Vinny fires his weird weapon, and causes mass chaos. We are now resuming our normal programming...or video game, for that matter." The newsman said. The T.V. turned off, and Jayln wooped.
"Yes, Sonic's gone!" Jayln exclaimed merrily. Amy stood back, her tongue all white. Knuckles broke the ropes, and swiped at Espio. The three of them got into a big fight, with the others simply looking on.
With Kai, Ghost, and V.B. the Hedgehog...
"It sounds like someone's in a sissy fight... I think the gun's being fired soon...I really hope I'm not hit...but if Ghost is, he hopes he falls in love with Kai." V.B. said. Ghost was saying "Right!" whenever V.B. took a pause, and when he stopped.
"Right! Wait a second...hey, that was mean!" Ghost exclaimed. They heard a loud bang from outside, and a voice showing that their worst fears had come true.
"Espio, I love you..." they heard Knuckles exclaim. V.B. and Kai shivered, and ghost turned transparent.
"The gun's been fired, RUN!' Ghost exclaimed. They went to barge through the door, but Tails flew in.
"He's firing a love gu-urk...V.B., I love you..." Tails said as the gun hit him in the back.
"The dare's off, go go GO!" V.B. exclaimed the three of them dove into the bathroom in Mission Impossible fashion, before screaming. Inside, Espio was sitting next to Knuckles, and they were hugging each other. Ghost turned transparent, and V.B. used Chaos Control. Kai and V.B. landed in Vinny's room, and after the door closed and locked itself, Ghost reappeared, shaken.
"He almost got me...Gahlik, Jayln!" Ghost exclaimed. Waiting patiently on the bed were Gahlik and Jayln.
"Why didn't you include us? We had really close encounters...the door!" Gahlik exclaimed as the doorknob started turning frantically. V.B. jumped out of the window, and grabbed the gutter. He hoisted himself up, and stood, perfectly balanced, on the roof.
"C'mon guys, the chimney!" V.B. exclaimed. Gahlik shot out of the window like a bullet, and stopped on the top of the chimney. Jayln and Ghost climbed up effortlessly. Kai got to the roof, but slid off backwards. It looked like she was doomed, ground approaching fast, pink lasers from the love gun shooting at her. Ghost outstretched his hand, and caught Kai. He quickly pulled her back up onto the roof, and she smiled at him. Ghost blushed a little, but nobody noticed.
"That was too close, Kai. We've gotta get into the chimney. Gahlik and Jayln await us." V.B. said, before climbing into the chimney. Kai looked in, and saw that it was awfully cramped. Gahlik was on the bottom, his hands and feet on the sides of the chimney, holding him in place. Above him was Jayln, who was in a similar position. V.B. had managed to hold himself in place by using his feet to hold on to the rim of the chimney. Kai sighed, and spread herself out so she was in the same position as Jayln, and her head was visible from the bottom. Big mistake. Vinny appeared at the bottom of the chimney, and fired upwards. Gahlik shifted his weight to one side, and scaled the inside of the chimney, Jayln right behind him. V.B. pushed himself backwards and stood up on the rim of the chimney. Kai was hit in the forehead, and she fell down. As she fell, she turned around, and saw Ghost just as he disappeared. Because the gun made people fall in love with the first person they saw, she immediately fell for Ghost.
"KAI!" Ghost exclaimed. Jayln had to hold him back from jumping down the chimney. He tried to escape, but her grasp on his arm was too strong.
"Well, aren't we in a weird situation. Only four of us are left, and we may be down to a smaller number soon since we actually have to live here now." V.B. said. Gahlik shuddered as a thought came through his mind...
It was really, really late at night. After his nightly 'stab the Sonic doll one hundred times or more in thirty seconds,' which he usually only got 99 on purpose to do it again, Gahlik was sound asleep in the Gamecube room, Shadow the Hedgehog music playing softly. A shadowed figure snuck down the stairs, the love gun in his hand. He took precise aim, and hit Gahlik in the chest. The figure then woke up Sonic, and told him to go ask Gahlik something. Sonic woke Gahlik up, who instantly fell in love with him...
Gahlik's scary thoughts
"Okay...I'm going to have to get protection badly... you four will too..." Gahlik said, dismissing the thought from his mind. Ghost nodded, before looking back down the chimney. Kai was starting to climb up, and Ghost gasped. Everyone looked at him, and he pointed down the chimney.
"Guys, I think Kai saw one of us..." Ghost said. V.B. gulped as a thought raced through his mind...
It was early in the morning. V.B. woke up, and saw a long, black arm around his waist. He looked over to see Kai, sleeping soundly next to him...
V.B.'s scary thoughts...
"I dunno about you guys, but I'm going with the backup plan. C'mon, Ghost!" V.B. exclaimed. Gahlik, Vinny, and Jayln jumped off of the roof, and landed in a catlike position on the ground. Jayln looked up, and saw that Ghost wasn't behind them.
"GHOST!" Jayln exclaimed. Gahlik looked up, and V.B. turned around.
"You guys go ahead, I'll be a distraction!" Ghost exclaimed. Jayln rolled his eyes.
"He saves a big city once in the future, and it got to his head. Figures..." Jayln said, grabbing V.B. and Gahlik by the hand and rushing forward. She released their hands, and slid down the hill. V.B. rolled down Army Commando style, and Gahlik slid down. The looked up, and had a perfect view of the roof.
"I think Kai saw Ghost...ugh, I think he's actually enjoying Kai hugging him...they're gonna fall!" Gahlik exclaimed. Sure enough, they tittered over the edge, and fell. V.B. jumped to his feet, and preformed a long distance Chaos Control. There was a flash of emerald light, and the two lovebirds disappeared.
"I can't help but wonder...if we're the last three, then who'd Shadow fall for?" V.B. asked. Jayln gasped, and started shaking V.B.
"Use Chaos Control to bring me there now!" Jayln exclaimed. There was a flash of emerald light, and they reappeared in the room V.B, Ghost, and Kai were locked in. Shadow was being hugged by both Amy and Tikal at the same time, and he liked it.
"I think it hit Shadow, and he saw them both...and Tikal and Amy always liked him. I should know, they told me when they were drunk." Jayln said, frowning. There was a loud bang as something hit Jayln in her back. V.B. put a Chaos Shield around him and Gahlik, and watched in horror as Jayln stood up, her eyes pink with hearts coming from them, and looked at both of them.
"Gahlik?" V.B. said. Gahlik gulped.
"Yeah, V.B.?" Gahlik replied. V.B. pointed at the door.
"I think this is the worst day of our lives. We're the last two left, we have to make it!" V.B. exclaimed. The two of them darted forward, and Jayln tackled them.
"We're really in over our heads. Wait, Kai mentioned something about different levels of love...hopefully, this is the 'Schoolgirl Crush' level, and not what I think it is..." V.B. said. Vinny appeared in front of them, and looked in surprise.
"Hey, this thing can reach 'Undying Love,', and I had it on 'Schoolgirl Crush'! Thanks V.B.! You know what, I bet Kai, Ghost, Espio, and Knuckles should come in here, that should make it more...intresting..." Vinny said, before switching the knob. Kai, Ghost, Espio, and Knuckles then walked in, and Vinny shot Kai. She looked up, and both V.B. and Gahlik, the only ones left that weren't hit with the love gun yet, gulped in sheer terror.
Ouch, major cliffhanger! Sil, please don't get too mad...gulp. Later!
