OMG! So, like Ta-Da?

Once Scourge's craving for attention had been satisfied, Sonic took Silver over to see Blaze, while Shadow decided to walk home. The obsidian hedgehog wasn't really fond of human vehicles. They were too slow and vulnerable for his tastes. On his way back from the hospital, a colorful poster caught his eye. It was an advertisement for a Romeo and Juliet play coming to town tomorrow night. The play would take place in a theater nearby, and a rather expensive one at that. His ears flicked as he began to play scenes through his head, most of them revolving around him and Silver after the show. Tickets to this play would be his ticket to getting laid…again.
Rather than taking his normal path, he took an alternate route, stopping by the Box Office to purchase two tickets to the upcoming play. It was to premier at eight, so Shadow would have time to take his lover out to dinner. But, an expensive restaurant followed by balcony seats would surely put a dent on his credit card. Unless Scourge decided to fix something for them again. That would be perfect – A candlelit meal by the docks. And, Shadow would get all the words right this time.
It wasn't as if he relied on his friend that much. It's just that he wasn't sure what to do. In the end, he decided to give Scourge a call. The hedgehog always had his phone with him, and it was convenient that Soleanna had payphones on almost every street corner.
Meanwhile, Amy was scavenging around in Scourge's room. She had lost a precious necklace and figured the green hedgehog was most likely to steal it. Of course that wasn't the type of person he was, and she realized this while looking around. His room was isolated on the third floor. It was filled with books she's never heard of, a sleek laptop, and some sort of device that had a similar appearance to an abacus. He didn't even have a bed: it had been replaced by an oversized desk containing information on Soleanna's history. Just as she was leaving, a ringing sound caught her attention. The screen of Scourge's phone lit up. Curious, she answered it, but decided not to say anything.
"Hey. Uh…listen. I got these two tickets to some Shakespeare play tomorrow night, and I was wondering if-" Amy's voice cut him off. At first, Shadow figured the squealing to be from Silver.
"Oh, Shadow! Of course I'll go with you!"
"Amy!? Wha-Whoa-No-Wa-Wait!" He didn't have time to explain himself as she hung up on him. "…Great…"
By the time Shadow had made his way back home, Scourge was there. His fur had miraculously grown back in an hour's time.
"Scourge? What the hell?"
"Wha? Oh, this? It's one of my many special abilities." He crossed his arms in a matter-of-fact way.
Shadow's lower eyelid twitched as his brain processed this information. "You can shave yourself…and grow it back that quick? Why would you need that ability?"
"Ahem! Well…you see. I had this girlfriend way back when…and she, uh…" His voice trailed off as he searched around for a distraction. "Hey, look! There's Silver!" The obsidian hedgehog gave him an unconvinced look. "It's none of your business!" He huffed and stormed into the house, slamming the door behind him.
Shadow stood for a moment before his mind returned to his earlier conversation with Amy. How was he going to explain this to Silver? What would his lover's reaction be like? Would he be angry? He panicked as the white hedgehog waved at him through the window. Not having the guts to clarify the situation, he quickly hid himself in the garden behind the house. Poor Silver attempted to follow him, but he was too slow.
"Hey! Wh-Where'd you go?" He looked around, afraid that something would unexpectedly jump out at him. "Shadow?" He peeked at the surrounding area behind a tree while the other hedgehog snuck inside. "I wonder why he's avoiding me…"
"Sonic!"
The blue hedgehog jumped in surprise, dropping a bottle of soda. "Dude!"
"Sonic!"
"Dude!"
"Sonic!"
"What!?"
"You're Amy's boyfriend right?" Shadow looked over his shoulder, making sure Silver wasn't around to hear. "I need your help."
"I'm not Amy's boyfriend. She's my stalker big diff-"
"Amy thinks I want to take her out on a date!" He took Sonic by the shoulders and shook him furiously. "I'm gay! I can't date a girl! It's against the rules!"
"Calm down!"
"If Silver finds out he'll think I'm cheating on him!" Having gotten over his previous girlfriend issue, Scourge looked up from his seat on the couch, wondering why the two were yelling at each other. "Silver is the only person I feel connect to! We even had sex!"
"Aww – Gross! I don't need to hear about that!" Sonic covered his ears, trying to block out the horrid mental images.
"You have to help me!"
"Alright! Get off and stop talking about your boyfriend! Then I might help."
"I can hel-"
"Shut up, Scourge! This isn't about you." The green hedgehog's ears folded against his head. He's had enough of being under appreciated, and it was about time that he gained some respect.
"Well, if Scourge can't help, then I guess he can only make things worse." Being the asshole that he was, Scourge wandered over to the door that led out to the garden, opened it, and grinned at Shadow. "Silver! Stripes is taking Amy on a date!"
"What the fuc-" The obsidian hedgehog flipped out. He darted up the stairs before Silver could see which way he went.
"Where'd he go!?" Sonic pointed up the steps, uncaring now since Shadow's secret was out. He turned to Scourge, who had a big grin on his face.
"You know, that was awfully mean."
"Spell 'awfully'."
"A-W-E…"
"You're an idiot."
"Oh yeah!? Spell idiot!"
"S-O-N-I-C."
"I hate you."
"Shadow!" He had locked himself in his room to get privacy, but Silver found him anyway. "Open the door!" He heard the lock turn, and cursed his lover's psychokinetic abilities. "Shadow? What was Scourgey yelling about downstairs?" There was no response. The ebony hedgehog felt someone sit beside him on the bed, and remove the pillow. "You could've told me if it was just for the sex. I wouldn't be so upset now…"
Shadow sighed in defeat and sat up. "It's not that." He paused, looking down at his hands. "It's just-"
Silver interrupted him, a bright smile on his face. "No, it's okay. I understand. There's better out there." He giggled. "And, I know I'm not the smartest person in the world." He stood from the bed and patted Shadow's head.
"Wait! Silver, just hear me out!" The white hedgehog turned to him, a sadden expression on his face. He closed the door behind him as he left. "Damn it, Scourge!"
I decided to answer some of my recent reviews since I never seem to pay any attention to them.
Shadowthahedgehog – Thanks! That makes me feel a lot better about my poor humor.
XxSkyFoxGirlxX – You seem like an energetic person. I always like reading what you have to say. Thanks!
Mr.UnSmiley – Thank you for stating the obvious, dumbass. XD
Sara – That's true. Although, in this story, Sonic isn't as…Sonic-y… as he should be. So, I can't entirely say that he's letting his alter ego in, since their characters are too OOC. Thanks for the review!
silvergirl1000 – Sorry about the lack of smut, but this is a T rated fic. I wish I could write some for you guys, but I'd prefer it if this story remained PG-13+. I will write smut scenes in the future though, just for you! Thanks for the review!
