3 reviews. Too chuffed for words. People don't understand the word fancy? It means crush, love interest etc. SIlverxBlaze in this chapter. Only because I love them. This one's for Aleah2AWSUMfoYU. Enjoy!

EDIT: I made this 2 days ago and thought I uploaded it -.- I'm such an idiot! Sorry everyone!

Shadow felt better today. He was keeping his hands busy with paperwork. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles were sharing a room in no.1. Goodness knows how long they were staying.

"Hello Mr Shadow!" Cream squeaked in her squeaky voice. Shadow felt his heart warm up. He always had a sweet spot for the kids, especially Cream.

"Hello Princess Cream. What is it you want today?" Shadow said sweetly. Cream giggled.

"I want a room for me, Amy, mummy and Cheese. Then another room for Blaze and Silver please Mr Shadow!" Shadow smiled and gave Cream the room keys. The rabbit sprinted up the stairs to no.3 and no.4.

"I'll sign the papers Mr Shadow." Vanilla said calmly, being followed by Amy, Blaze and Silver holding some bags in the air. Vanilla filled out the paper work and they all went to see Cream.

Over in Room 1….

"In order to work in the gym you need to do some tasks for little old me." Rouge explained, batting her long eyelashes at the red echidna. Knuckles nodded his head eagerly.

"Okay, first you must push Sonic into the swimming pool." Rouge whispered deviously. Boy is I going to enjoy this, she thought to herself.

Knuckles nodded. At first he was wondering if it was right to do that to his friend. But then he realised that Sonic is a pain in the bum so it'd be pretty funny to watch.

Downstairs in the casino…..

"I can't believe this is the only place open. And it's only open when Rouge says so!" Sonic complained as he slotted some coins into the machine.

"Shadow has no staff other than Cosmo and Rouge. Cosmo does gardening so that leaves Rouge running round." Tails explained as he watched the fruit machine work.

"Hey Sonic! Amy and that are booked in." Knuckles shouted, running to the fruit machines.

"OH RATS! We have approximately an hour until I need to hide." Sonic cursed pressing nudge on the machine.

Back in reception….

"The boys know I'm here so they can come here if they need me." Rouge said calmly to Shadow passing him a cup of coffee. She loved it when they could chat alone.

"Thanks Rouge. When we get some staff you can relax a bit more." Shadow spoke up whilst sipping his coffee.

"Step-Cousin Shadow!" shouted a black furred fox, short purple hair blowing as she ran in the reception. Rouge fumed. She hated having her time with Shadow cut off.

"Ahhhh, Rae. What do you what?" Shadow asked. He didn't see his step cousins much. He then focused on remembering what part of the family she was on.

"I need to stay in your hotel. I'll help out!" Rae begged. Then Shadow remembered she was on his adopted mother's side of the family.

"Sure. How long?" Shadow asked coolly, digging out some more paper work for him to do.

"Two weeks."

Shadow spurted his coffee out of his mouth.

"Please Shadow! Just until I back on my feet. Please!" Rae begged, fluttering her eyelashes.

"Fine…. But I'm not paying you for your services. It's either you work for me or I'm charging you for the room." Shadow gave in bitterly

"Thanks Shadow!" Rae grinned and picked up the room key.

"I hate OCs." Rouge muttered bitterly, still angry over the interruption.

"Especially when they're related to me. It's hard remembering who's in whose family. When OCs come in the author destroys all her normal plans for us." Shadow muttered back. Rouge's face showed her confusion.

"I forgot. I'm the only one Bella talks to. Jumping out of portals…." Shadow muttered darkly. That still left Rouge confused.

Back to Sonic….

"Amy will have finished packing. Where should we hide?" Sonic pondered to Knuckles and Tails.

"How about we hide in the swimming baths?" Knuckles asked coolly.

"What's with all this "we"? I'm off to see Cosmo." Tails waved bye as he left a baffled Sonic and Knuckles behind.

"Is that a good idea?" Sonic asked.

"It's the last place Amy will expect to find you." The red echidna explained as they entered the inside pool. Rae was reading a book whilst sitting on the life guard chair moving kids with her powers. Cream was splashing Vanilla and Silver was giving Blaze some swimming lessons.

"Who's the hot chick?" Sonic asked, his green eyes resting on Rae. Rae looked up from her book, her blue eyes meeting his before looking back down.

"Let's go see her!" Sonic ran over to Rae. "No running." Rae ordered firmly, not lifting her eyes off her book.

"Hey…. I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, fastest thing alive!" Sonic boasted. Rea growled, lifting her eyes off her book.

"GO AWAY!" She growled angrily. Happy people and people who talk too fast was not on her list.

"Pleasure!" Knuckles grinned evilly, throwing Sonic in the pool. The blue hedgehog gasped for breath and flapped every limb he had. Every one burst out laughing. Rae dithered whether she should go rescue him or not. However, Blaze beaten her to it.

"There you go." Blaze said as she lifted Sonic on to the side of the swimming pool. Sonic's gasps slowed down.

"That's so going on you tube!" Tails laughed, video camera in his hand.

Eventually the hotel calmed down and the evening came round. So everyone was in the show rooms.

"No, children. We're going to the kiddies show room." Shadow said, herding the kids together.

"I'm not a kid!" Tails whined.

"Until you're old enough to drink, you're a kid to me." Shadow whispered to Tails.

"Amy and Sonic aren't old enough drink." Tails pointed out.

"Good point…." Shadow said before adding "but they can watch Zombies snogging vampires 3 with out screaming and having nightmares for 6 months in a row."

Tails gave up, well and truly defeated.

In the room next to them…..

Silver was playing with Blaze's hands. Blaze didn't mind, It gave him something to do. Everyone was up dancing whilst Rae was doing the bar work since Rouge had retreated up to her bedroom.

"Silver, could you get me a drink please?" Blaze asked sweetly.

"Of course. What would you like?" Silver replied. He'd do anything for his favourite cat,

"Shadow told me that his sister brought back some new drink for us to try. I think it's called V2O." Blaze explained to Silver.

Silver strolled up to the bar, taking in the details of the room. It was your basic disco floor with black walls and a black stage, some coloured light and a bar at the side. Nothing fancy.

"A V2O and a glass of milk please." Silver ordered Rae.

"You're not really Shadow's cousin are you?" Silver asked. Rae stopped still and spinned round.

"WHO TOLD YOU? TWICE THEY KICK ME OUT! DON'T YOU DARE TELL SHADOW!" Rae shouted at Silver. It was days like this that the silver hedgehog wondered why it was always him.

"I meant because you're a fox and he's a hedgehog." Silver sighed.

"Oh…. Sorry."

"It's okay," Silver said evenly. "Why can't Shadow know?"

"Shadow treats his family with such love and respect. I was worried he might have kicked me out of the hotel if he realised." Rae explained. "Please don't tell him…"

"Okay. But you have to tell me which swimming costume Blaze would like in the hotel shop." Silver replied desperately.

"You like her, don't you?" Rae grinned evilly.

"Is it that obvious?" Silver asked nervously.

Rae used her powers to move the glasses into his hands.

"Please. I'm related to Shadow. I'm bound to be good at this stuff. But no, it just looks like you two are good friends." Rae said before going back down to her book.

"Okedokey! See you at the hotel shop tomorrow!" Silver beamed before running back to his Blaze.

The night was long and boring. Rae pretty much liked every one at the hotel, except Amy was a bit annoying. And Sonic was a big no-no. "Off to bed now!" yawned Amy who was dancing with Knuckles. "Me too." One by one people were off to bed.

"Look Silver, the kids are already asleep." Blaze whispered happily as they checked up on Cream and Cheese.

"Shadow had to put them to bed. He was good actually." Rouge whispered, making every one jump.

Every one went to bed okay, except Blaze and Silver, who discovered that there was only one bed.

"I sleep on the floor." Silver said.

"No! You sleep in here with me!" Blaze pouted like a little child, patting the space next to her in the bed.

Let's just say not much happened, but Silver thoroughly enjoyed cuddling up to Blaze.

Done! R and R! Rae will be staying with us for another chapter or two. More in store for Knuckles. I love SIlverxBlaze! Mostly because Silver is so cute and Blaze is my dream character (PURPLE CAT WHO HAS FIRE.I'M COMPLETE) Byieeee my darlings!
