Review if you want when your done. Disclamier:I own nothing but the OCs.
Shadow had been walking for twenty minutes carrying his friend, who had ultimately fallen asleep. Dragon had her head buried half way into his chest. She was lightly snoring, you had to put your ear next to her mouth to hear it.
"Wake up, sleepy head. We're home," Shadow said. "And I think we're missing a pary and a couple of our drunk friends."
"Okay," She stated. "But I'm not walking up there."
Shadow was about to argue when he felt her nuzzle her face deeper into his chest. He heaved a sigh and ran up to the tenth floor in a matter of seconds. Dragon rolled out of his arms and onto the floor, landing neatly. When the duo reached their apartment, they heard laughing and a loud crash.
"What the hell?" They both asked. When they opened the door, they saw Knuckles laying on the floor. Rouge was holding in a laugh, while everyone else were laugh like hyenas.
"Ya know, this is what happens when he has to much to drink," Dragon said. "Rouge, did you do this?"
"No." She said.
Knuckles moaned from his position on the floor while Rouge helped him up. Ash was laughing into next week.
"I have a way to sober him up," Dragon said, "But I need some candy."
"We have some in the kitchen." Shadow said.
"Alright." Dragon said, getting the candy.
"What are you even doing Dragon?"
"Simple. I'm making a drink that can get him sober, or at least help him understand what's going on around him. How much did he have to drink?"
"One cup of vodka." Sonic replied.
"Oh lord, no wonder he's so messed up." Dragon said.
While she was making her drink, everyone else was trying to wake Knuckles. They were having some trouble however. He kept kicking at them all the while.
"If this was his gift, then I like it," Rouge said. "He needs to act like this more."
"Done!" Dragon happily exclaimed. The drink itself looked disgusting, brown, old, much like dirty water.
"It looks like dirty water," Cream said.
"Well, it tastes better than it looks," Dragon replied.
Rouge took the drink out of her hands and gave it to Knuckles.
"What happened. Uhh, my head hurts." He said afterwards. Tree giggled lightly while the others were trying to hold in their laughs.
An hour later, all the gifts were opened, the cake was eaten(mostly by Dragon, Silver, Shadow, Sonic, and Knuckles), and everone was currently sitting in the living room watching a horror film. The movie was "Saw", and almost everyone was scared. Amy was holding onto Sonic while he himself look like he had just met death. Tails and Cream were terrified to say the least. Ash and Tree were huddled together from the fright. Fang looked sick(he didn't like movies with alot of gore). Knuckles was stroking Rouge while she had her face in his chest. Silver and Blaze were shuddering at every scene with blood. Scourge was shaking from the way everyone in the film was dieing. Shadow and Dragon weren't even fazed! Dragon fell asleep and Shadow was simply bored. After the movie, everyone but Knuckles, Shadow, Dragon, and Rouge had left the apartment.
"Again, how were you two not scared?" Knuckles asked.
"It didn't even look good to begin with." Shadow said.
"It was boring. That's the only reason why I fell alseep. Good dream though. I had an unlimited supply of candy." Dragon said.
"Okay?" Was the reply from Rouge.
"Rouge, can I talk to you in private?" Knuckles asked.
"Sure. We can talk in my room. Those two don't go in there."
"The only reason is because the last time we went in there, you were talking to yourself." The hedgehogs replied. Rouge rolled her eyes and draged Knuckles into her room. Once they were gone, Shadow quickly grabbed the remote.
"Hurry up Dragon! We might miss what they're talking about!"
"I'm coming! Give me a break!" Dragon had left to get a dvd player from her room. The fact was, when Rouge had left one day, Shadow and Dragon installed a camera in her room. Knuckles was blushing while Rouge was sitting on her bed.
"Well, I'm still waiting." She said.
"I just wanted to tel you I love you." He said. Rouge got up, walked over to him, and kissed dead on the lips. Dragon was smiling proudly at the fact those two had gotten together, and Shadow's mouth was hanging open, like Dragon had just agreed to go on a date with him. The hedgehog duo turned off the dvd player and turned it to a cooking show.
"Oh, food." Dragon said, drooling.
"That does look good." Shadow said, begining to drool as well. The chef was making tons of desserts that both hedgehogs enjoyed. When Rouge and Knuckles came back they saw Dragon and Shadow staring at the TV, drooling.
"Wake up!" Knuckles yelled. Dragon threw a pillow at him without taking her eyes off the screen.
"They can't hear you. Well, they can but they're not paying attention." Rouge said. Finally a comercial came on, and Shadow and Dragon were knocked out of their trances.
"Ass." They said.
"Bye Knuckles." Rouge said, attemping to get him out of the apartment.
"Wanna come with me back to Angel Island?" He asked.
"Rouge, just go with him. All me and Shadow are gonna do is watch cooking shows." Dragon said.
"Fine. Let's go." She said, leaving the apartment with Knuckles following behind her.
Two hours later, Shadow and Dragon were asleep. Shadow was sitting back against the couch, very relaxed. Dragon had her head in his lap, facing the TV, while her body was some-what curled. Her dreams suddenly shifted from one thing to the next.
Dragon's Dream
Dragon had been dreaming about candy one second, the next she's in her birth village, in a cabin that was familiar.
"Were the hell am I?" She asked her self. As though all her answers about the strange place were answer, a fox duo came busrting into the cabin. Dragon tried to slam them againist the wall with her tail, but it passed right through them. Six cats and four hedgehogs ran out from where they were hiding.
'That's me!' Dragon thought as she noticed a black and red striped hedgehog. 'It can't be, can it? This.... this is the day I really ever killed. And the day when Tree's parents and brother died.' She remembered. This was the harshest memory she could remember.
"We're here to avange our fathers' death." One of the foxes said. A frighten little white hedgehog was cowering behind a larger green one.
"You're fathers killed my grandparents!" The green one yelled. Both foxes laughed. They seemed to be enjoying what was at hand.
Reality
Shadow had just woken up and it was close to midnight. He looked to his lap to see the face of his angel. Only her face had a look of anger and fear.
"What the hell?" Shadow said outloud.
Dragon's Dream
The foxes had been there, not making a sound.
"You're grandparents killed them, and for no reason." The other said.
"They had to! If they didn't then we wouldn't be here!" A young Dragon said. "Scourge, take Snow and get out of the way. Now!!" She told her adopted brother. He did as he was told, taking the younger hedgehog and get away from Dragon. He moved to a farther part of the room where he could still see her, but far enough to not get hurt from what was about to unfold.
Dragon's claws came ripping out of her gloves. Her fangs grew to the point where they could be easily seen. Her bright red stripes became a deep, dark blood red(A/N:Consider this her dark super form). The foxes were not scared however.
"Die!" Dragon growled, lungeing at the fox duo.
Reality
"Die!" Was the word the escaped with the growl from Dragon. Shadow was worried. The last time she had remembered part of her past, she had broken down in tears.
"Wake up, Dragon! Please!" He pleaed with her.
Dragpn's Dream
The young version of Dragon had attacked the duo with force, her claws hooking onto the neck the one. She pulled her hand threw and tore half his throat out, blood splatterign over her. Her growls became deeper as she tore at the next one, this time taking her claws and raking them across his chest and stomach. The fox howled in pain, which was cut short as Dragon bit his throat out, blood seeping onto her clothes and mouth.
"What-what did I do?" She said after returning to normal. The blood of the two foxes covered nearly her entire person.
The group look horrified at the sight: the two mutilated bodies of the foxes and Dragon herself.
"No, no no no no no NO!!!" The seventeen-year-old Dragon screamed. "This can't be! I-I never would hurt anybody on purpose!"
Suddenly she was out of the cabin and harsh memory, and back in her living room. Shadow was staring at her, worry showing in his eyes.
"What were you dreaming about?" He asked quietly.
"The day when I killed someone," She replied just as quiet. "Shadow, I've killed and I remember how it happened, who was there, what it all looked like."
Dragon had begun to cry once more. Shadow quickly embraced her once more, his grip never loosening. He let her cry into his shoulder, as soon her crying became sobbing.
"It's okay. That was the past, it happened a long time ago. There is no need to think about that," He said into her ear. He had begun to stroke her quills to comfort her. Dragon looked up into his face, to see him smiling a smile he only gave to her. Crimson eyes met ruby, and soon their lips connected.
It felt like heaven for the two hedgehogs. Dragon licked Shadows lips, asking for entry to his mouth, which he quickly granted. Her tounge swept over his teeth towards the back of his mouth as he deepened the kiss. Letting a low moan escape from her thoart, Dragon begun to wrap her hands around his neck. Soon their tounges met, and begun to intertwine with each other.
"Hey guys! I came to pick some thing up." Rouge said as she and Knuckles came into the apartment. They stop dead in their tracks when they saw the two hedgehogs on the couch kissing each other very, very passionately.
"Watch cooking shows my ass!" She said, loud enough for the two to hear her. Their kiss abruptly ended when they her Rouge. Both her and Knuckles stood in the door way. Dragon had a blush that was redder than Knuckles, while Shadow's was ten times worse.
"We were busy!" Dragon said, her blush giving off her embarssment.
"You said all you were gonna do was watch cooking shows, and here you are making out on the couch!" Rouge said happily.
"I have a feeling that you're going to tell everyone about this." Dragon said.
"Of course! I have to call Amy first!" Rouge yelled, reaching for her cell phone. Knuckles pushed her into the apartment to keep the other occupants from calling the police.
After Rouge had called and woken up everyone in their group, they wer all standing in the living room. The news was sure to leek to the media very soon. Everyone in the room had been asking Shadow and Dragon if they really did make out, and the answer was the same for all of them.
"Yes, we made out!" For the tenth time that morning they had said it.
"Just wait 'till our birthday! Won't Mom and Dad be so proud of you Dragon?" Silver said to his twin. She was very worried about what to say at to her parents at her eighteenth birthday party. The party would take place in the village like it had every year for them, only this time they were bringing some friends.
"That day will be hell." She said.
