When Shadow, Amy and Crystal got to the mall, it wasn't very crowded.

"So which store are we going to?" Shadow asked. Amy's stomach growled.

"I don't know but let's go to the food court first. I'm starving." Amy complained. While Amy went to the food court to buy something to eat, the two remaining hedgehogs decided to wait for her on a bench near the food court.

Shadow had his arm wrapped around Crystal's shoulder as she snuggled into his chest. He had been thinking about asking Crystal to marry him but he still nervous. He remembered asking Sonic how he should propose to Crystal.

Flashback

Sonic and Shadow were at the karaoke bar and before Sonic could get drunk, Shadow needed to ask him something.

"Sonic, how did you propose to Amy?" he asked. Sonic thought about it for a second.

"I told her to meet me at the park during sunset and I just did it. Why?" Sonic replied. Shadow slightly blushed, but thankfully because of the light, Sonic didn't notice.

"I was thinking about asking Crystal to marry me and I wanted to know when I should ask." Shadow said.

"You'll get feeling when you know it's the perfect time to do it. But get the ring first, that way you'll have a perfect opportunity to propose." Sonic said. Shadow nodded. He thanked him for the advice.

"When I proposed to Amy, she was so happy. We made our engagement clear if you know what I mean." Sonic said with a wide grin. Shadow looked disgusted.

Note to self: Never ask Sonic for advice again.

End Flashback

When Shadow came back to reality, he saw Amy had returned and had some food from McDonalds.

'Didn't she already eat before they left?' he thought. 'Oh well, it's better not to ask.'

The 3 hedgehogs went into Dollarama and bought a black permanent marker and colored hairspray in the colors blue, silver and green. Next they went into a makeup store and bought bright pink lipstick, blush, fake eyelashes, and foundation. Afterwards, they went to a local women's store and bought a lavender blouse with a bright pink mini skirt to match. By the time they were done, Shadow was carrying 5 heavy shopping bags while Amy and Crystal were eating some ice cream. Shadow frowned.

"How come I don't get any ice cream? I'm the one carrying everything." He complained. The girls looked at each other then nodded.

"Alright. What kind of ice cream do you want?" Amy asked.

"Double fudge with melted chocolate on top." Shadow grinned. He had an uncontrollable chocolate obsession.

"I'll be right back." Crystal said as she walked over to the food court. A little while later when as returned, Shadow took it and Chaos Controlled them out of the the mall.

[x-x-x-x]

When they got home, they saw everyone watching a movie while Knuckles was still passed out, which was exactly what Crystal and Amy was hoping for.

"What took you guys so long?" Blaze asked. Her and Rouge were sitting on a couch with Silver, Cream and Tails, paying attention to the movie.

"Sorry. I guess we took longer than expected." Crystal explained and plopped down on the couch next to Tails. Amy looked around.

"Where's Sonic?" she asked.

"I think he went out for a run." Rouge said.

"Perfect." Amy said.

"Payback's a bitch Knux." Shadow chuckled. Crystal and Amy put the feminine clothing on Knuckles as well as the make up. When they were done, he looked like Tikal's twin sister.

"This is sweet." Crystal said as she brought out her camera and took a picture of him for future blackmail.

"Crystal?" Cream asked. Crystal turned around.

"Mhmm?" she asked.

"I think someone is knocking the door." Cream said. Crystal nodded and walked over to the doorway. When she opened it, she was hit in the face with a pie. Sonic stood there laughing and ran inside until he realized that the person he hit was Crystal.

"Uh oh." he said. Crystal was fuming.

"SOONNICCCCC!" she screamed. She ran into the living room, still covered in pie.

"Sorry Cee. It was meant for Silver not you, but look on the bright side, you have a nice hair do." Sonic tried to explain. Crystal touched her quills and screamed again.

"My hair! Sonic the Hedgehog, you are so dead! Shadow! Kill him!" she exclaimed. Shadow teleported behind Sonic.

"Wrong move there hedgehog." he said as he tackled Sonic when he turned around.

"Shadow, she didn't mean it literally!" Amy exclaimed. Crystal glanced at Amy.

"Oh, yes I did." Crystal said calmly.

"I don't want him to kill my Sonikku." Amy whined.

"You will want to kill him."

"Why?"

"Because Knuckles never told him to sing you a love song at the karaoke bar. It was an excuse so he wouldn't get in trouble." Crystal said. Amy's left eye twitched.

"Go ahead." Amy said. Out of nowhere, Sonic smashed Shadow through a table. Then, Shadow smashed Sonic through the coffee table.

"Shadow! Sonic!" Blaze hollered.

"What?" Shadow asked irritably, mostly because he had Sonic in the perfect position to snap his neck in half.

"Move. We're watching a movie." Rouge snapped. Shadow sighed then moved Sonic to the dining room and continued his assault.

"Okay. That's enough." Crystal said but they still continued to fight, unaware of what she had said.

"Either you stop, or I'll make you stop." Amy threatened. They immediately stopped once they heard her. Shadow has a few cuts and bruises on his muzzle and arms while Sonic had a medium-sized gash on his right arm.

"Oh, Sonikku. You're hurt." Amy said as she rushed over to him.

"I'm fine. It's just a scratch." Sonic reassured her.

"No, Shadow has scratches, you have a cut." Amy explained.

"It's because he had a head start. Attacking from behind, what kind of a person are you?" Sonic asked. Shadow smirked.

"You threw a pie at Crystal's face so I was defending her honor." he said to Sonic.

"Aww, that's so sweet Shads." Crystal said as she held his hand. Sonic scoffed.

"What honor? And why does she get to call you Shads while I can't?" Sonic said. Crystal ignored his question. Her eye twitched and her hand curled into a fist.

"Wrong move there hedgehog." Crystal said, quoting Shadow from earlier.

"Uh oh. Gotta go." he said as Crystal chased after him. Tails sighed.

"Why can't they be normal for once?" he said. Silver shook his head.

"Crystal is normal. Sonic just annoys everyone. I'd be pretty mad too if someone threw a pie at me and it got in my quills." Silver said.

"Mostly because it already takes you 2 hours to clean them." Blaze said with a smile as Cream giggled. Silver chuckled.

"Where did Shadow and Amy go anyways?" Rouge asked.

"Shadow is talking on the phone and Amy ran after Sonic and Crystal to make sure she doesn't kill him." Cream explained.

"Who wants to watched another movie?" Tails asked.

"Me." Cream said.

"I do." Silver replied.

"Sure." Rouge agreed.

"Alright." Blaze said.

Tails nodded and put in another movie. After a little while, Shadow decided to join them and watch the movie as well.

When the movie was over, Amy finally returned with Sonic.

"Where's Crystal?" Shadow asked. It was pitch dark outside and anything could happen to her.

"We lost her outside. Apparently, my speed comes in handy." Sonic said proudly. Shadow's eyes became as wide as saucers. Just then, Vector came in with Chaotix through the door, carrying a bleeding Crystal. Shadow rushed over to her.

"What happened to you? Are you alright?" he asked calmly.

"Besides getting stabbed in the leg by some insane lunatic with a scalpel, I'm just peachy." she replied sarcastically. She moaned in pain. Shadow took her out of Vector's arms with ease and settled her on the couch.

"Where did you guys find her?" Sonic asked.

"We were taking Charmy to the park and saw her limping and she has a messed up leg so Vector offered to carry her here." Espio said. Charmy nodded.

"Yeah. Yeah. She's really pretty too, I think that's why Vector offered." Charmy said, only to receive a punch from Vector.

"That wasn't the reason you idiot! It was because she was in pain and couldn't make it back here by herself. In case you haven't noticed, she's bleeding." Vector said. His face was red from embarrassment.

"Keep telling yourself that.." Espio said.

"Well, we gotta get going. See you around." Vector said. Everyone waved goodbye as the left. Shadow had already finished wrapping up Crystal's leg. Amy walked over to Crystal and gave her a spine-crushing hug.

"I'm so sorry Crystal. Can you ever forgive me?" Amy cried. Crystal tan muzzle was starting to turn a light purple from lack of oxygen.

"Can't... breathe... Amy... let... go.." Crystal gasped out. Amy released and Crystal took a much needed breath of air.

"It isn't your fault Amy. Of course, I'll forgive you." she said with a smile and gave Amy a hug.

While everyone was watching tv, they were unaware that Knuckles had woken up and went to the bathroom. When he looked in the mirror, he yelled,

"WHO DID THIS TO ME? IM GOING TO KILL THEM!"

AHAHAHAHAHA! I love torturing Knuckles & Sonic. Well, there is chapter 3 & if I get atleast 5 reviews, I'll update as soon as I get the chance instead of letting my laziness take over me. I'm getting a laptop in October so I'll definitely update more then.

Oh, who was Shadow talking to on the phone and what did they want? Ofcourse I know, but you'll find out soon.

R&R ;)
