Sonic & Shadow: *kissing passionately*
*groans* Do you two ever stop kissing? You've been at it for an hour! You haven't come up for air ONCE!
Shadow: *flips me off*
Oh, so that's how you're gonna be? Fine! I can be that way just as easily!
Shadow: *breaks the kiss* Show me.
W-well... I need a reason to be angry.
Shadow: Your ex-girlfriend's a slutty bitch.
I already know that.
Shadow: Um... you're fat.
I know... I've been slimming down though.
Shadow: Your taste in music sucks.
It can, I know.
Shadow: I don't like your shoes too much.
FUCK YOU! *flips Shadow off*

Our wedding was definitely one to behold. I had paid for the entire thing and was rather close to broke. I had rented out the biggest and fanciest church there was in the city and decorated it with streamers of blue and black (for obvious reasons). I had also gotten myself fitted for another suit, as I was showing rather alot right now. I was five months in, after all. All of our friends were there: Rouge the bat, E-Omega 123, Vector the crocodile, Espio the chameleon, Charmie the bee, a fox by the name of Tails, an echidna by the name of Knuckles, a rabbit by the name of Cream whom also had a creature Sonic called a chao flying around her excitedly, and a cat by the name of Big whom was holding a frog. All of Sonic's relatives were there, but none of mine were. They were dead, every last one of them. Sonic had questioned me about this but I had told him I just couldn't get in touch.
I was in one of the other rooms, getting ready with the help of Rouge. she was currently fixing my quills for me.
"Well, Stripes, this is the big day. You ready?"
"I'm a little nervous, at most."
We went a few minutes in silence. Rouge had begun to go over my suit with a lint roller before saying, "I'm still a little surprised you're gay, Stripes. Never really seemed like the one to be, did ya?"
"Really, I wasn't until I met him. There was just... something about him," I remembered the morning I had seen him out of my window.
"Oh? Well, I really can't blame ya. That hedgehog is pretty sexy. Not unlike yourself, Stripes."
I blushed a little. "Rouge, you always know how to flatter a man, don't you?"
"It's been said. You'd better be gettin' ready. The ceremony's gonna start in about... now."
I heard the organ begin playing. I opened the door that opened into the end of the aisle to see Sonic's little neice, Sandy, tossing flower petals and his nephew, Silver, holding the rings on a silk pillow. Both were doing these jobs whilst walking up the aisle to the altar. I fell in not too far behind them, trying not to cry. Once we made it there, the two in front of me separated and I turned to see Sonic looking at me with a huge smile. He got rid of it before he walked slowly toward me. I didn't hide my smile when he got to me and faced me.
"You look beautiful, Sonic," I whispered before the preacher began.
"We are gathered here today to joins these two men in holy matrimony. Please join hands." Sonic and I did as the preacher told us. "Sonic the hedgehog, do you take Shadow's hand in marriage?"
"I do."
"Do you, Sonic, promise to stay by him, for better or for worse, for richer or for poor, through sickness and in health?"
"I do."
"And do you, Shadow the hedgehog, take Sonic's hand-
"I paid for all of this, yes I do," I said, trying to speed things up.
"In that case, you may kiss the groom!"
I did so passionately, drawing thunderous applause from the crowd. Once we broke, the rest of the celebrations began. We let a flock of doves fly and we cut our near-foot-tall cake. Once all of the pictures were taken and the cake had been eaten, all that was being done was innocent chatting.
"So, Sonic," I said after a quick sip of champagne.
"Yes, my dear?" he replied.
"Wanna go out back to the tree swing?"
He looked at me for a minute before saying, "Why the hell not?"
I abandoned my glass as I pulled Sonic with me out the back door. Thankfully, we hadn't drawn any attention, and were able to make out in peace.
That is, until I was shot a number of times in the back. I fell backwards off of the swing, my blood staining my suit and the grass around me. I was beginning to faint, I could feel my eyelids sliding shut. The last thing I saw was a pink and orange blur running away.
Sonic: OMG MY SHADIE'S HURT! WHO DID IT?
Um, did you not understand the blur thing?
Sonic: No, not really.
Who do you know that's pink?
Sonic: Well, there's Amy, but she's in jail. For four years.
And what color do they wear in jail?
Sonic: Ora- OH!
*rolls my eyes*
