Love In The Bahamas
Do you think the girls are done with Truth or Dare?" asked Charmy with a lampshade on his head.
"How are we supposed to know?" Knuckles replied, irritated.
"We're supposed to go see a movie with them when Melody comes and gets us." Shadow replied with a glare. He couldn't think clearly. The only things that were running through his head were: 'Did she really mean to kiss me?' 'Does she know I like her back?' 'Do I like her back?'
"Shadow, whatcha thinkin' about?" Tails asked from where he sat on the couch in the corner, still tinkering with the same device.
"He's probably thinking about his girlfriend." Sonic snickered.
Shadow glared and replied "Shut it, Faker. I see you daydream about Amy all the time. And, furthermore, she's not my girlfriend."
"I do not daydream about her! And after all, she's the one who likes me." Sonic snapped back, being stubborn.
"Whatever." Shadow jammed his iPod headphones in his ears and turned it on so loud that you could hear it all the way across the room.
"Guys?" a small voice came from the door and all the boys turned to look.
"Let me guess, you're done?" Shadow turned his iPod off after his response and sighed.
Melody nodded rapidly and she blushed upon being in a room with all boys, "Hurry up, no body can decide what movie to watch." She slid out of the room with the boys following after her.
Once they were in the girl's room they found a very angry Rouge and Natalie fighting over a movie and Cream sitting on the couch watching the chaos.
Amy was involved in a conversation with Cleo who had just inquired why she carried around a giant hammer. Wave sat on the couch next to Cream and seemed to be enjoying watching the fight.
Blaze was curled up in a chair sleeping, peacefully and Tikal was looking out of the window but she turned abruptly when Rouge threw a vase and it missed Natalie and hit a wall.
All at once the room went up in what seemed like a roar. Blaze woke up and hissed, digging her claws into the chair, Cream jumped as the sound of her friend hissing reached her ears and she bumped against Wave who knocked a lamp down off the side table that almost hit Cleo on the head, Cleo 'eeped' and knocked Amy's hammer out of her hands and it landed on Tikal's foot who immediately screamed. Loud.
Melody and the boys covered their ears and soon Tikal calmed down. She bit her lip and crying, she ran into the bathroom.
"Now look what you did!" Rouge yelled. "Me! How was that my fault?" Natalie snapped, "You're the one who threw the vase!"
"Well… if you would've let it hit you, Tikal wouldn't be crying…" Rouge crossed her arms and turned away from Natalie who sighed.
Shadow walked over to the door and began talking to Tikal through it.
"Alright… what movie are we watching?" asked Jet breaking the somewhat silence in the disturbed room.
"How about…" Storm plucked through the movies and pulled out one "Over the Hedge?"
"NO!" Rouge snapped, snatching it out of his hand. "Gosh! Sorry!" Storm apologized and continued rummaging through the movies. "I thought Cream or Tails or maybe Charmy and Melody would like to see it…" he mumbled softly
"National Treasure?" Storm held out the DVD for everyone to see "Okay." Rouge plopped down on the couch.
About halfway into the movie Tikal came back into the room with Shadow behind her, carrying a bowl of popcorn.
They sat next to each other in the front and shared the popcorn. Tikal seemed to be happy enough.
Amy sat in between Vector and Sonic but she wasn't paying any attention to the movie. She was thinking about what had happened earlier:
"I meant… that I liked Shadow when we first met…" Amy hung her head and turned crimson.
A few people giggled, "You used to like Shadow?"
"Yes…" she replied quietly receiving a smile from Rouge.
"Aww leave her alone, guys." Rouge decided to stand up for her "I mean, you can't possibly blame her for that?"
Amy shook her head and tried to put her focus back on the movie.
The next morning, Espio was the first one to wake up he started to stretch but then he felt something on his shoulder. He turned and looked 'Well, what do you know…'
Natalie was asleep with her head on his shoulder. He looked at her for a minute she looked peaceful.
'She's kind of… cute.' A small, rare, smile graced his lips when he heard her purr. Yawning, he looked at the clock 7:00 am. He stood carefully, so as not to wake the pretty cat, and walked into the kitchen.
Once they were all up and eating breakfast, Rouge announced she was going to take a shower, suppressing a snicker, Natalie smirked and continued eating.
Everything was quiet enough until "AHHHHH!" Rouge burst out of the bathroom, but the first thing they noticed was her fur. Someone had dyed it, neon green.
Natalie was rolling on the floor laughing, hysterically. Rouge came over and picked her up by the front of her shirt "What did you do to me?" The bat yelled
Knuckles stared for a moment "Um…Rouge?" "What!" She turned on him "You're still in just a towel…" the, now, neon green bat looked down and 'eeped' before running back into the bathroom.
Everybody was silent. Then the room erupted in laughter "Serves her right!" Knuckles said with tears in his eyes because he had been laughing so hard.
When everyone had finally settled down and Rouge had come out with her normal clothes and makeup on, they gathered in the hotel lobby and decided to split up till they went to the karaoke bar that night.
"Shadow, may Tails, Charmy, Melody and I have some money for the arcade?" Cream asked using her best puppy dog look. Sighing, Shadow handed her a twenty-dollar bill, she smiled "Thank you, Shadow!" she said as she headed towards the arcade with her friends.
"Well, I might be neon green but that's not gonna stop me from searching through your stuff for the Master Emerald, Knuckles." Rouge smirked, spread her wings and flew back to the hotel rooms "All the world's gems are mine to keep!"
"We'll see about that, Bat Girl!" Knuckles yelled running after her. Wave giggled some and Jet looked at her, "Wanna race?" he shrugged.
"…Sure." They went back to their rooms to get their boards, leaving Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Storm, Blaze, Tikal, Natalie and Espio.
"Well, I'm bored." Storm decided. "…Storm, do you want to come with me?" he looked up and Blaze was headed off towards the beach. "Sure." He smiled and grabbed her hand, gently pulling her off.
Sonic speeded off to who knows where and, surprisingly, Amy didn't follow, she turned the opposite way and headed off to shop with Natalie.
Espio smirked "Have fun you two." He muttered before disappearing. Shadow and Tikal blushed, "Well… do you have any ideas?" Shadow turned and looked at the Echidna, who shook her head no. "Want to go swimming?" Tikal asked. Shadow looked at her, "Okay." They went to get their bathing suits.
With Wave and Jet
The two raced into their rooms and as Wave grabbed her air board she suddenly felt guilty. She had broken Jet's board just like she was dared to and now he had asked her to race but he wouldn't be able to.
"What the…?" she heard Jet's strangled yell and flinched. Taking a deep breath she walked into his room and asked, "What's wrong?"
The board sat on the floor, broken right down the middle. Wave sat next to him, "I… can fix it." 'I hope…' He looked at his board and froze finding something stuck in one of the screws.
A purple feather. "Wave… did you…" "It was a dare," Wave hung her head, "I had no choice."
With Amy and Natalie
It was silent between the two as they walked through the shops. "Hey, Amy, why didn't you go after Sonic?" Natalie asked as she held a dress out for Amy who snatched it.
"Why didn't you go after Espio?" Amy countered. Natalie opened her mouth but no sound came out.
"Look girly, I came to shop with you and to figure out why you're acting so down. If you don't want my help, then fine." With that statement, Natalie headed towards the door but stopped when Amy's hand grasped her shoulder "Look, I'm sorry, I was just a little frustrated."
Natalie's eyes hardened, "Well, don't take it out on me." Amy looked down, she had a sorry face on and her green eyes really did the apologizing.
