"Hello Amy! How are you?"
"Hi Doctor Whall, I'm good actually…do you have time to talk?"
"Of course I do!"
"So…I just wanted to say…I took your advice. I invited him to come shopping with me for the party today."
"Really? How did it go?"
"Sooo good! I almost couldn't believe it!"
"But?"
"How did you know there was a but?"
"Let's just say you and me are more alike than you know…"
"I just can't forget EVERYTHING he did ALL the time…there were times when I just wanted to get away from him because he would say something that would remind me of the things he used to do."
"I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I just wanted you to try this to see how well you two could possibly get along."
"I laughed so much; he's so funny and he wasn't flirty AT ALL like he used to be. He even cut things off with that girl, Christina, I was telling you about. He did it right in front of me on speaker phone so I heard it myself…How could he just change like that?"
"Have you ever gotten to know Sonic? Like really know him?"
"Well…no…that's where this gets fucked up…"
"Don't get discouraged sweetheart…All I'm trying to say is that perhaps there's A LOT to him that you don't know and you never opened yourself up to know."
"…Doctor…there's a lot you don't know about me either…opening up is just something that I DON'T do and I think about Tuesday and sometimes it crosses my mind that it was a mistake…I should've never been so open and free like you said. Who's to say he won't leave again? If he did it once he could do it again!"
"Amy…that's the biggest problem…for one, you jump to conclusions and they're all pessimistic. You said it yourself that you don't really know Sonic, so you can't say whether he'll leave or not. You can only hope that he won't…remember what I said about that.
And Amy, I know there's a lot that you don't say because pain like this isn't just something that simply happens. Something had to happen before and I can only hope that you would tell me…but not over the phone.
For now, though, perhaps you should continue this way with Sonic. You said you had a great time, I guarantee he had a great time not having to argue, you're staying stress free, and you're building on a relationship that needs to be stable for your baby. Why would you go back now when everything is right? What have you got to lose?
"When you put it like that…nothing."
"But?"
"Doctor Whall I swear you're a psychic…"
"It's the pain isn't it Amy…you can't forget the type of person he was in the past. You can't forget the instances where he hurt you. I definitely understand and relate to that but years can change people. Just look at yourself…I'm sure you're not the same way you were in college…just keep in mind that people CAN change especially in life changing situations."
Amy sighed.
"I'll try…"
"So you and Sonic will still be cordial?"
"Yeah…it's definitely best for the party situation."
"Good and please have a good time, no drinking and don't over exert yourself. You're about a month in now."
"I will and trust me I won't drink…all I'm doing today is helping to set up."
"Alright honey, call me if you ever need to talk again."
"Ok and thank you so much for your time Doctor Whall."
"No problem Amy, see you soon!"
Amy clicked her phone off and put it on her kitchen table.
Why is it that Doctor Whall can tell me everything about myself and she doesn't even know…
I think having her around is starting to be a good idea...
So she's right…I don't know Sonic…
I don't know how he thinks, I don't know what he means when he says something, I don't know how trustworthy he is, I don't know anything about his feelings…
"Yeah…it's lucky of me to have these luxuries and be what I always wanted to be in life BUT I also think you're lucky too because you have people who genuinely care about you, you have real friends, you have family…you have love…"
I can't forget that you said that Sonic...you were so...serious...
Is he implying something there?
UGH! WHY IS THIS SO COMPLICATED! IT WASN'T THIS COMPLICATED A FEW DAYS AGO!
When we were together, for once we didn't fight. None of these things crossed my mind. I didn't worry about anything…
Suppose this isn't gonna turn out good in the long run?
STOP THINKING OF THE LONG RUN! ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE NOW! WHAT IS ARGUING ALL THE TIME AND PUSHING HIM AWAY GONNA DO? MAKE HIM LEAVE FOR SURE THAT'S WHAT!
UGH! I don't want to think ANYMORE!
Amy looked up at her clock and noticed that the time said 11:45 a.m
"Where are you Sonic?"
Just on cue, Amy's phone started to vibrate on the table.
Incoming call- Sonic
"Yo?"
"Wassup Gangsta?"
Amy laughed into the phone.
"Where are you Hedgehog?"
"I'm on my way now as we speak. I got the rest of the day off 'cause I worked the rest of the week straight."
"So…you didn't go home at all did you?"
"Nope…slept on the bus."
"But…you must still be tired then!"
"Nah I'm good…I'll be there in about half an hour then I'll tell you the plan to get Silver out."
"Ok."
"Seeya soon hubba bubba."
"Later air freshener!"
Amy laughed into the phone.
"Aww shit here we go…"
"You knew it was coming!"
Amy didn't hear Sonic say anything but she could just picture his face like (-_-).
"Ok I'm sorry, bye!", Amy said sweetly
"Bye."
As soon as Amy clicked off the conversation, she dialed another number.
"Hey girl where are you!"
"I'll be there in like an hour, Sonic's coming now…"
"Oooh ok…he's gonna do the job right?"
"Yeah he said he had a plan…"
"I really hope so…"
"It's gonna go well don't worry!"
"It will right? Yeah it will…"
"IT WILL!"
"IT WILL!"
Both girls laughed into the phone.
"I'll see you soon ok? And we'll have a plan…whatever you do, just play along…"
"Boy is Cream lucky she just has to come with the food!"
Amy laughed.
"By the way, where IS Silver?"
"In the bathroom…", Blaze whispered.
"Umm like in the bathroom…in the bathroom?"
"Yeah…he said he felt gassy this morning…"
"…What did he have?"
"Chinese takeout!"
"WOW! That figures, but WHY?"
"First of all, he woke up and said he was lazy and didn't want to make breakfast and then he tried to get me to make something and hear this…he said I should because I have hands that look like they can handle the pans well…"
Amy laughed hard into the phone.
"That's a new one!"
"Yeah and you already know what I had to say about that and then he got a bright idea that he could order Chinese for breakfast and walla! The bathroom is his home for now!"
"You know that isn't surprising?"
"It's not!"
"Well I hope he feels better for tonight…", Amy whispered.
"Oh he will, he doesn't stay sick for long…he should be ok when he's done but I don't know if I'll be…"
Amy giggled.
"Just bring in the air freshener, HA AIR FRESHENER!"
Amy laughed harder.
"I don't get it…"
"INSIDER!"
"Insiders with youself now huh?"
"Maybe I'll let you in on it sometime...but for real now I'll see you soon!"
"Alright bye babe!"
"Bye!"
Amy put her phone down for the second time and walked over to the fridge.
Geeze I'm hungry again…
For the next 10 minutes all Amy did was finish the remains of her food pantry, which consisted of chips, cookies, crackers, and trail mix, while she sat on her couch and watched tv. It wasn't until she heard the vibrations of her phone that she final got up.
Sonic- In the lobby, what floor and number r u?
Amy's eyes slightly went wide and she quickly went to the bathroom. She fixed her quills which were pulled back as always with her bangs out. She had no makeup at all but she still had a glow to her. She simply wore some black capri leggings and a long, blue plaid collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up.
Ugh I'm being such a girl…it makes me SICK!
Amy- 4th floor 431
Amy took a seat back on the couch and fidgeted a bit, not feeling as comfortable anymore. Then she heard her door bell and walked over to open it.
"Sup beautiful."
"Hey…come in…"
Amy stepped aside so Sonic could come in. He had on some athletic shorts and a white tank top with basketball style sneakers.
"Working out?"
"How'd you know?"
"You don't normally come dressed like that…"
"Oh! So you notice how well dressed I usually am?"
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves!", Amy said shaking a finger.
Sonic laughed and then said,
"Nah, I was playing ball this morning."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, something I like to do by myself sometimes. It's better early too 'cause it's much cooler."
"I could imagine."
"You should come one of these days…I mean if you want to…"
"Oh…well I was never really good at sports anyway…"
"Nothin like trying..."
"Hmm…MAYBE I'll take you up on that offer…MAYBE…"
Amy watched how Sonic smirked and in turn, she smirked back.
"So about this plan?", Amy questioned as she went to sit on the couch.
"Well Tails and I are gonna take him to a 5 star restaurant so he'll have to dress up and we're gonna hope that Blaze is persuasive enough to make sure he wears the right colors. I have my clothes, I was hoping that you would let me change here but anyway we're gonna tell him that Knuckles is coming and it's a boy's day out for his birthday because I have to work during the week that it's his actual birthday and Knuckles could only make it this weekend. I'll be texting you along the way so we'll stall if you and the girls need more time."
"That ACTUALLY sounds like a good plan…BUT…won't it look suspicious if you're all wearing the same colors? And how are we getting the stuff out of the car? And what explains me coming with you?"
"Shit…"
"It's ok we'll just…figure it out now…we have no other choice really."
"What if you didn't come with me?"
"Then how would you get the things out of the trunk?"
"Ugh…I don't want you taking the bus either."
"I was actually gonna suggest that I do that."
"But I'd prefer that you didn't."
"And why not? "
"I don't want you to carry all the stuff."
"Why do you always think I can't handle myself?"
"I never said that…why do you always think I'm trying to attack you?"
"Because-"
"I GOT IT!", Sonic yelled suddenly and just in time before Amy was sure to retaliate in more aggressive ways.
"This better be good…", Amy said with the (-_-) face.
"Ok so I'll spin you over to Cream's and pick up Tails at the same time. I'll unload the stuff and put it in their car and you come over with Cream...yeah hubba bubba say something now!"
"…"
Sonic smirked proudly but there was one thing that still wasn't addressed.
"BUT…what about the colors?"
"Well…"
"Exactly…"
"Well I don't have to wear my silver tie…I could just put it on at the party…"
"And what about Tails and Knuckles?"
"I can only hope they don't dress too much in the color code…"
Amy exhaled heavily.
"Hey lady, don't stress out so much…everything is gonna go great!"
Amy rolled her eyes and looked at Sonic who was grinning like a fool.
"Whoa dangerous…"
"Better watch out then…", Amy warned.
"Nah I like danger.", Sonic said smoothly and suggestively.
"Whatever…", Amy quickly replied in attempt to control the heat that was rising to her cheeks.
"Enough joking around, is it alright if I get dressed here…and umm…take a shower?"
"EXCUSE ME? You said nothing about a shower!"
"I didn't wanna alarm you…"
But I have things…and just…STUFF that is just MINE and not for him to inspect! A guy is not supposed to be in a girl's bathroom…
He'd be naked…in my shower…naked…in my room getting dressed…
Suddenly a blush formed on Amy's face that she definitely couldn't control so she pretended to walk to the kitchen for something in attempt to hide herself.
"I'll be quick I promise and I have my own stuff…"
Naked…
"Fine…hurry up…", she said from the kitchen.
"Thanks!"
Amy turned around to see that Sonic already sped out the door, probably to get the stuff he was talking about.
Next thing she did was rush to her bathroom to check it over.
Of course it's clean but…
Toothpaste, toothbrush, mouth wash, hand soap, face cleanser, lotion…
Shampoo…Conditioner…soap…feminine wash…FEMININE WASH!
Amy grabbed the bottle of special soap and was about to run out of the door when she smacked into a topless figure.
The first thing Amy noticed was a hard peach stomach. Then she noticed her hands on this stomach as she tried to break whatever fall that was about to be delivered to her. Then it registered to her that she had dropped the bottle she had in her hands. Then she realized that strong hands were around her waist. Finally, she looked up and saw a cocky stupid smirk. This all took about a few seconds altogether and reflexively Amy pushed the figure backwards.
"Hey!", the figure shouted.
Amy slammed the door shut.
"DON'T YOU KNOCK!"
"I was looking for you…"
"WHY IS YOUR SHIRT OFF?"
Amy picked up the bottle of feminine wash and quickly decided put it in the cabinet under the sink where she kept her hair things and toilet tissue.
"I was coming to take a shower right?"
"YOU COULD'VE WAITED!"
"It's waay hotter outside now so I just took it off…"
"UGH…"
"What are you doing anyway?"
"DON'T ASK ME WHAT I'M DOING!"
"OOOOK…"
Finally Amy opened the door and sharpened her facial expression to battle the infamous smirk Sonic held.
"What's the matter? Ran out of AIR FRESHENER?", he mentioned cockily.
At first Amy tried to look at him with a hard face but the more she thought about what he said, the more her face loosened and a snort erupted in her throat.
"Shut up!", she laughed.
Amy stepped out of the bathroom and was going to walk to the living room but first, she punched Sonic in the arm.
He didn't flinch or seem affected by it at all which made Amy look at him in irritation.
"What?", he asked dumbly
Amy just continued to look at him.
"OH I GET IT! OUUUUCH!", Sonic yelled holding his arm as if he were in serious pain.
Amy, yet again, failed at holding back a laugh. She just shook her head and walked into the living room. About 2 minutes after, she heard the shower running.
Naked…right now…in MY shower…
She shook her head and decided to check her room before Sonic got out.
It was clean as usual and fresh. She had a small place but she vowed to keep it presentable and make it look as nice as she could. She had green candles all on her dresser and a picture of her and her mom in the middle. The room itself was painted a mint green and her twin sized bed was neatly made with lovely hunter green sheets and two pillows. The floor was wooden but she laid an oriental rug next to the bed. On this rug, Amy noticed a navy blue duffle bag.
Must be his…looks pretty heavy…
Amy walked closer to the bag and knelt down by it.
It wouldn't hurt to look…no I shouldn't…it's not like he's checking everything of mine…or is he?
Amy listened for the shower and still heard it running.
But why does it look so heavy?
Amy put her fingers on the zipper and in a quick, impulsive moment she unzipped the bag.
A towel…
…He didn't bring the towel with him?
Well… we have black slacks, black dress shirt, silver tie…hmm pretty nice…black dress shoes…lotion…deodorant…cologne…hmm
Amy pulled out a cologne bottle that said nothing on it but it was shaped like a pyramid. She took of the cap and took a whiff of it.
Smells soooo good…just like him…
Ok so that's not what's making this bag heavy…papers?
Amy pulled out a big stack of papers from the duffle bag, sat on the floor, and started to read through them.
They're reports…about trips?…how many of these does he have? Geeze!
Amy quickly flipped through at least 20 pages of paper and the stack still wasn't done. Suddenly, a small paper of some sort had fallen down on the rug. Amy quickly picked it up and scanned it.
A receipt? For a dress? Who the hell is he buying a dress for? Does it never end! Just when I thought-
Wait a minute…Sparkly blue dress it says…it can't be-
At that very moment, Amy heard the familiar click of the bathroom door. Then she realized that the shower wasn't running anymore. Her heart beat wildly and her breathing intensified. She hustled to put all of the paper back the same way she found them.
When she heard footsteps coming closer, she panicked and knew she couldn't just rush out to the living room so she did the next best thing which was run into the closet. She closed the door and tried to calm herself down.
She peeked through the small keyhole that she never knew why it was there in the first place. She watched as her bedroom door opened and in came a completely naked hedgehog. Amy immediately shut her eyes and then looked at the floor.
Why the FUCK didn't he take his towel with him…I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND!
And why am I trapped in my own house!
Amy looked up in anger and then her face flushed with red color. Standing in front of the closet with a confused face and wearing their birthday suit was Sonic.
"Amy?"
SHIT! WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I SAY!
"Umm…I know you're in there because you weren't in the living room and one of my papers is on the floor…and umm it smells like you A LOT if I'm not mistaken…"
SHIT! WHAT THE HELL I THOUGHT I PUT THEM ALL BACK! AND WHAT DOES HE MEAN IT SMELLS LIKE ME?
The next thing Amy knew, the closet door was open and she was facing plain blue and peach. On the flip side the most noticeable thing on Amy was her extra red blush and her furious face.
Sonic couldn't help his laughter.
"STOP IT! JUST YOU STOP IT!"
"Found anything you were looking for?"
"LEAVE ME ALONE! AND BACK UP! SHIT, NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA MOLEST ME! COMING IN HERE PURPOSELY WITHOUT A TOWEL…"
Sonic laughed harder but backed up anyway. This seemed to make everything worse because his full body was in Amy's vision.
"And you know that because you saw the towel in my bag I assume?"
"Oh my FUCKING gosh!", Amy yelled as she raced out of the bedroom.
The ringing laughter of Sonic was not forgotten.
The strong blush on Amy's face didn't subside for at least another 10 minutes and she was sure it would return when Sonic finally showed his face in the living room.
I shoulda just minded my own business…
They did say curiosity killed the cat…well in this case hedgehog
Shut up (-_-)
"Is it too hot for this?"
Amy spun her head around to see Sonic who was dressed in some thin black dress pants and a black button down dress shirt. As simple as this might have sounded, different uncensored thoughts roamed through Amy's head.
He looks so…sexy…
NO HE'S UGLY AND STUPID!
He could get so hot and sweaty underneath everything and breathe his hot breath on my neck. Then I'll smell his sweet musk and just pull him closer to me then he'll-
STOP! I DON'T WANT THIS! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!
"Uhh Amy?"
"Yeah umm…maybe it'll be too hot and also you're wearing all black…"
"Had to do the dress code…maybe if I…"
Amy watched intently as Sonic unbuttoned the cuffs to his shirt and then rolled up his sleeves. He unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt and then took the shirt out from his pants.
"This feels a lot better."
It LOOKS a lot better! And I thought it couldn't…Oh gosh why…
GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!
"Does it look alright?"
"Huh, oh umm…sure…"
"Doesn't sound so convincing…", Sonic said as he walked into the living room and stepped in front of Amy.
"Seriously, how do I look?", he asked honestly.
"You look ok!"
Sonic stopped directly in front of Amy who was already sitting on the couch. He kneeled down so he could be face to face with her.
"Just ok?", he said softly with a suave smirk on his face.
LORD HAVE MERCY! HE LOOKS SO HANDSOME, SO SEXY…SMELLS LIKE EVERYTHING GOOD!
"Yeah just ok; I'm not your other girls, I'm not gonna gas you up…"
"Oh geeze Amy really?"
"Yeah really…"
"I don't have any other girls…I think you know that…"
"I don't know anything…"
Sonic made the (-_- ) face.
"I can't change your mind now but trust me I will later…"
"Good luck to you…"
"I'm gonna need all the luck with you, you're a piece of work!", Sonic winked.
Amy rolled her eyes and then said,
"Are we ready to go?"
"Of course hubba bubba!"
Amy scrunched up her face and tried to strengthen her vicious stare.
"You look so sexy like that…"
A blush slowly made its way up to Amy's cheeks but before it could be noticeable, Amy pushed Sonic back and went into the kitchen to get her phone, purse, and a plastic bag of clothes.
"I'm ready to go now and I think you are too…"
"Yep, let's go!"
"So…why were you in the closet anyway?"
Amy blushed furiously and pouted her lips.
"I- I was checking my things to make sure there was nothing personal…"
"And my bag was a part of your things?"
"Well…I-…It looked heavy…", Amy stuttered as her blush intensified but she inwardly felt a bit relieved that Sonic had to concentrate on driving.
"Mhmm and you wanted to know why?"
"Well…yes…"
"Did you find out?"
"Yes…"
And found out about a sparkly blue dress…
"Good…didn't know you were so curious…"
"WOW! Don't act like you didn't snoop in something!"
"I only saw what was right in front of me…"
"Bullshit…"
"What were you hiding so bad…was it feminine wash?"
"WHAT THE HELL! I THOUGHT YOU ONLY SAW WHAT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!"
"I guess we're even huh!"
WHY DID I EVEN GO THROUGH ALL THAT IF HE FOUND IT ANYWAY!
"Look let's just forget about this ok?", Amy said holding her head in frustration.
"If that's what you want then ok…"
The drive was short and soon enough Sonic pulled up in Tails' driveway.
"BRO!"
"BRO!"
Sonic got out of the car and waited for Tails to jog over. Then Sonic pulled him up into a monstrous bear hug that made him groan in pain. Cream, who stood at the door, caught eyes with Amy and they both smiled at each other and shook their heads.
Amy walked over to Cream and have her a hug.
"Got the plan?", she asked.
"Yeah so Sonic and the guys are gonna take Silver out to a fancy restaurant so that covers how they're gonna dress and the time we need to decorate. Knuckles will go with them and the excuse is that he couldn't make it any other time and Sonic has to work when it's really Silver's birthday. Now, we have to unload the stuff into you guy's car and me and you will go after Sonic gives me the signal.
"Wow! That sounds fool proof actually!"
"I wouldn't be too sure…I mean look at who we're talking about…"
"Let's rank them from worst to best.", Cream suggested.
Amy laughed and then said,
"Well Silver is definitely, certainly, undoubtedly FIRST!"
"No question about it!", Cream added with a laugh.
"I would have to say Sonic is second…he's like another Silver just much more tame…"
"I wouldn't really know but I trust you do, I mean you do know him the best."
…Sometimes I wish I didn't…
"So then Knuckles is next.", Cream said.
"Oh! Is that because you want Tails to be the best?", Amy laughed.
"W-Well he definitely doesn't behave anywhere close to Silver.", Cream blushed.
Amy laughed again and then said,
"I agree girl! You got yourself a keeper!"
"Oh stop it Amy…", Cream blushed again.
"ALRIGHT THE THINGS ARE IN AND WE'RE GOING NOW!", Sonic yelled from a distance.
"ALREADY?", Amy shouted back.
"YEAH WHILE YOU GIRLS WERE HAVING GIRL TIME! I'LL TEXT YA OK?"
"ALRIGHT!"
"I'LL SEE YOU SOON CREAM, I LOVE YOU!", Tails yelled.
"I LOVE YOU TOO!", Cream yelled in return.
Amy looked at Cream with a sly smirk and she wiggled her eyebrows.
"Stop it!", Cream laughed as they both went inside the house to wait until it was safe to go to Blaze's house.
Amy- They're on their way to you, is Silver ready because they're gonna take him to a restaurant.
Blaze- yea he told me that's wat Sonic txted him and I almost got him to wear something reasonable but he said something about lookin like a million $ and…u won't believe wat he's wearing…
Amy-…is it dress code?
Blaze- OH YES! VERY MUCH!
Amy-…should I be worried?
Blaze- you'll be…amazed
Amy- …I can only imagine
Blaze- u have the stuff?
Amy- yep me and Cream r supposed to come over after Sonic gets Silver and I think they're gonna get Knuckles on the way…
Blaze- ok this is going well so far…I can breathe now!
Amy- breathe all the time!
Sonic- Got him, Everything is clear for u
Amy- aight
Sonic- aight? More gangsta talk? That's how u wanna get down?
Amy- pay attention air freshener
Sonic- I could just hear u laughing…cackling witch
Amy- lmao
Amy laughed at the phone and Cream watched her incredulously.
"Oh really?", she said suddenly.
"What?", Amy asked honestly confused.
"Who are you texting may I ask?"
"Sonic…he was telling me we could go now…"
"Looks like more than that? Hmm?"
Cream copied the same thing Amy was doing to her just a few moments ago.
"Ugh please don't think this is anything."
"What is it then?"
"It's a mutual thing now…I'm trying something new with him…I'll talk more about it when we get over to Blaze so let's go."
"Alright…I won't forget this because THIS is too good to be true."
"Ha, I know you won't!"
"Let's get going! We have a whole house to get together and food to arrange!"
"Well it took you guys long enough! LET'S GET GOING!", Blaze said as she pulled Amy and Blaze inside.
"Someone's anxious…", Cream whispered quietly to Amy.
They both held bags of party supplies and they messily released them on Blaze's living room floor.
"Ok so I already cleaned all the rooms upstairs, you know just in case…All that's left is to move the couches up there into the guest room and decorate and Amy when is Mephiles coming to set up?"
"I'll text Shadow when we have at least half of the place set up."
"Ok good, Cream what's the deal with the cake, food, and drinks?"
"Well I ordered the whole menu off of this catering place and I arranged it so they deliver it here around the time the party starts so it can be fresher."
"Ok…drinks? Cake?"
"Oh…well about that…I was going to spin out there and get that now…"
"Cream…"
"Blaze it's gonna be fine! Look I'm going now and I'll be back with cases of liquor, juice, soda and a delicious cake!"
Blaze looked uneasy but then Amy turned her body away from Cream who took this as a signal to leave.
"Let's set up the kitchen and save the best part for last!", Amy said hoping to sound enthusiastic.
"The best part?
"The living room, party room, dance room, whatever you wanna call it!"
Blaze rubbed the temples of her head.
"Oh calm down gramps! Let's get moving!"
Amy and Blaze swept and polished the tiled kitchen floor, pushed the refrigerator over to make space for tables, arranged long tables for a buffet style meal, covered the tables with the black and silver table covers, and set some streamers hanging from the kitchen walls. Just as they were about to move on to the living room, they heard the doorbell.
Outside of the door was an out of breath Cream holding a heavy case of beer bottles in one hand and the large cake in the other.
"Heavy?", Amy asked
"Yes! Now help!...Well actually Amy, you could just put them somewhere in the kitchen…"
"But why can't I-"
"No, I won't let you carry these things…"
"Oh…I get it…you're acting just like Sonic…"
"Good! I need to pass so move your pink butt!"
Cream walked around Amy with her hands filled and set it everything down on the kitchen counter. Blaze followed her out the door and soon they had wine, vodka, rum, wine coolers, beer, and champagne galore in the kitchen.
"So is the goal to get everyone drunk?", Amy asked
"Well no but-"
"Yes", Cream interrupted
Blaze looked at her with the (-_-) face.
"Sorry, it's true…"
Amy laughed and then said,
"Time for the living room?"
All three girls walked into the living room and realized that the first thing they needed to do was move the furniture.
"So Blaze…how are we getting these couches upstairs?", Cream asked with her hands on her hips.
"Well there's three of us right? We could do it…"
"Yes we can Cream!"
Cream looked at Amy in question.
"I really don't think-"
"I WANT to help! I promise I won't take the whole load of it geeze…"
Cream and Blaze looked at each other in surprise and then they both shrugged.
They all managed to get the couches upstairs with much argument and complaining. Blaze pulled one side of the couches while Cream pushed it up to help and Amy stayed a distance to tell them where to push and pull. It took about 15 minutes for both couches to be placed in the guest room. Once all three girls went back into the living room, Blaze and Cream moved little trinkets and shelves into the living room closet. Then it was finally empty enough to start decorating.
Blaze had the lights, Cream had the wall decorations, and Amy had to tell Mephiles to come over to set up.
Amy- Is Mephiles rdy to come over?
Shadow- Almost…he's finishing up "something"
Amy- Oh gee…"something?"
Shadow- I'll leave it to ur imagination…
Amy-well…ok…r u coming wit him?
Shadow- I suppose
Amy- Ok good…how much longer?
Shadow- impatient?
Amy- look, Blaze is gonna have my head if he doesn't come soon like 20 mins later soon…
Shadow- It'll be less than that, maybe 10
Amy- ok
"Mephiles and Shadow should be here in about 15 minutes."
"Great!", Blaze said with more excitement.
"Amy I always meant to ask you…how did you and Shadow get to be so close?", Cream asked as she opened up a bag of streamers.
"Well you remember it all started in college, you even told me that I was sleeping in his room at that party but I seriously don't remember that but he even tells me that's what happened."
"No I mean… he's a bit...well, different…"
"Different?"
"What Cream means is that he's mostly quiet all the time, he's rude, and out of all of us he's only really friends with you…"
"Oh…well I don't know, we kinda just clicked…I find his quietness funny actually and when he's rude like that you just gotta be rude back. He's also there to talk to me and listen to me and give me his honest advice…he really is a great guy."
Blaze and Cream looked at Amy weirdly
"Wow why are you looking at me like that?"
"Umm he looks like he would want to kill me...", Cream mentioned.
Amy laughed.
"That's just his face!"
"So there IS a sweet side underneath all that devilness?", Blaze asked.
"Well not really sweet but more like sincere and caring."
Blaze and Cream looked at Amy with faces that said, "Yeah right!"
"Oh come on! Stop looking at me like that…"
Amy escaped the awkwardness by going to her purse on the kitchen counter where she checked her phone.
1 New Message- Sonic
Sonic- So far so good, we're finally at the restaurant but we're not even seated yet (-_-)
Amy- Well I hope u didn't expect to be seated right away at a 5 star place…
Sonic- ehh I'm a bit hungry now that I'm here and Silver is…SILVER
Amy- wat?
Sonic- lmao you'll get it when u see it…how r things there?
Amy- going smooth…kitchen is done and we're about to start the living room and then Mephiles and Shadow r coming over right now
Sonic- Mephiles is gonna set up right? And wat is Shadow doing?
Amy- I guess he'll help
Sonic- ooo ok… Hope ur not working too hard
Amy- No I'm not (-_-)
Sonic- lol ok, if u work too hard I'll have to message u with my own hands ;)
"Amy?"
Amy looked up at Cream with a strong blush on her face and it only got stronger once Cream seemed to know what was going on.
"Is that Sonic?"
"Well…umm…you see umm…he was just telling me that they're at the restaurant."
"THEY'RE AT THE RESTAURANT?", Blaze yelled from the living room.
"YES BLAZE SO WE HAVE TO HUSTLE!", Cream yelled back.
"Wait no it's ok because they weren't even seated yet.", Amy told Cream
"Oh…is that all?"
"Umm yeah…"
"Ok I'm just gonna come out with it, since when did you and Sonic…you know…"
"Huh?"
Blaze came walking into the kitchen with a string of lights in her hands. She was about to ask for help but stopped when she heard,
"You and Sonic have been pretty friendly lately…"
"Umm yes…my doctor advised me about my stress level and since most of my stress comes from him, I decided to take it easy and it's not as bad this way…"
That's not really the truth you know…
Nobody needs to know the whole truth…
"Oh I understand…well I must say, it's great to see you this way Amy…"
"Yeah I agree!", Blaze said with a smile and the tangled lights in her hands. She was still fussing with it and both Amy and Cream had their eyes on her.
"Umm need help Blaze?", Cream asked
Blaze looked up startled and then all three girls started to laugh.
In a matter of minutes, the girls had already put up most of the wall decorations and now they were all working on the lights, seeing as how one person couldn't do it alone.
As they were draping them on the walls, the doorbell rang.
"AMY GET THE DOOR PLEASE!"
Why do I always have to do the simple stuff…
"Oh hey Mephiles!"
"How are you doing Amy?"
"I'm good and you?"
"Splendid!"
"Splendid? Don't make me laugh…", a deep, smooth voice suddenly said.
"Oh Shadow I didn't see you there! HI!", Amy said happily.
Shadow kept his straight face and waved at her from behind Mephiles.
"Hey why can't I get a hello like that?", Mephiles whined.
"Ok lemme start over…HI MEPHILES! It's great to see you again!", Amy said rather enthusiastically.
"It's always great to see you too!", Mephiles replied with the same amount of enthusiasm.
Amy laughed and then stepped aside to allow the boys to come in.
"HEY MEPHILES WE'LL BE OUT OF YOUR WAY JUST NOW JUST GIVE US LIKE 15 MINUTES!", Blaze yelled from the kitchen.
"Mephiles, Shadow...hello…", Cream said awkwardly.
"Hey cutie!", Mephiles replied while trying to look around the living room.
Shadow, on the other hand, nodded his head in acknowledgement.
"SHADOW IS THERE?", Blaze yelled again.
"Yes…why?", Shadow said, leaning on the kitchen wall.
"Shit, do you announce your presence ever?", she said obviously startled.
"Nope, but thanks for having me.", he said smoothly.
"…No problem…"
"Hey Blaze are we almost done with the living room?" Amy asked as she peeped her head inside the kitchen.
"No", Shadow said quickly and emotionlessly.
"Shut up!", Amy said, reaching forward to push him.
"We are, we just need to put the glitter on the floor and have Mephiles set up and then put the strobe lights and fog machine…and of course wait for the food to come."
"Good, good…I suppose we'll get dressed while Mephiles is setting up?"
"Yep that's the best time."
"Ok, I'll go put the glitter now."
"Ok, I'll go put the glitter now.", Shadow mocked.
Amy gave Shadow a death stare while Shadow smirked and winked at her.
Blaze, an innocent bystander, looked surprised and amused in the face.
Amy, Blaze, and Cream spread all the glitter on the floor for an added sparkle to the room. Blaze complained about it at first but then Amy and Cream promised to help clean it all up. They finally left the room for Mephiles to do whatever he had to do. They went upstairs and took turns taking a shower. Eventually they all finished getting dressed.
Blaze had on a tight metallic silver dress that fit close to her body in every way possible. The sides of it were cut out so it showed a bit of skin. It was a very simple style dress so she decided that she would play it up with her hair and makeup.
Cream chose the color silver to wear as well. It was a strapless party dress with a big glittery bow around her waist. It fit her tightly and accentuated her mature hips.
Amy, on the other hand, chose black. She was still a normal size, aside from the 5 pounds she managed to put on, so she figured she should wear her good stuff while she still had the chance. She chose a loose black, sleeveless chiffon dress that came across one shoulder and ended just above her mid thigh. It closed in under the bust area and flared out.
All three girls were now on their way to the bathroom to finish up.
"Well what should I do with my hair?", Cream said while trying to fix her bangs in some sort of way.
"Hmm…", Blaze murmured while wrapping a piece of her hair around a curling iron.
"Maybe curl?", Amy looked over to her.
"Everybody is curling…"
"Straight?"
"Too simple…"
"How about you don't wear it to the side as usual?", Blaze finally said.
"Hmm…that just might work…"
Amy picked up the other curling iron and then looked in the mirror at her quills.
"I don't want to leave my hair out…I don't think it'll look right with this dress…"
"Amy, if you do those buns you always do I'm gonna give you a wig!", Blaze warned and waved her own curling iron in Amy's face.
"Well…it won't be a bun like that…I'll try another type of bun then…"
Blaze looked at her warily but then continued to curl her hair outwards.
"GUYS I GOT IT! You got a scissors Blaze?"
"Well yes…you're gonna cut your hair aren't you?"
"Yep…FRONT BANGS! I always cut my bangs before so don't worry!"
Blaze stepped out of the bathroom to go get a scissors while Amy took her spot and started to roll her quills the lower left side of her head. She secured it quickly and loosely with some bobby pins on the counter.
"Well THAT is different!", Cream smiled.
"Yeah but now what?"
Cream picked up the curling iron and then curled Amy's bangs to the left and also curled small left out quills.
"Perfect!", Cream said, marveling at her work.
"Wow it totally looks like me…not too overdone…it IS perfect!", Amy smiled.
"I got the scissors!", Blaze said as if she just made the biggest accomplishment.
She immediately caught sight of Amy who was looking herself over in the mirror.
"You look beautiful!"
Amy looked over a bit startled and then blushed a little.
"Sorry I don't look beautiful everyday Blaze…", Amy laughed
"Oh you know what I mean!", Blaze laughed with her.
By the time all girls were finished completely with hair and makeup, Blaze had all of her back length hair flipped outwards and a smokey eye with nude pink lip gloss. Cream successfully cut her bangs and had them bumped neatly with a similar smokey eye and a clearer lip gloss. Amy had her side bun with neutral eye shadow and deep red lips. Blaze and Cream looked at her with wide eyes.
"What? Is it too much? It's the lips isn't it? Gosh I'll just-"
"NO! KEEP IT ON!", Cream and Blaze yelled to stop Amy from ripping the piece of toilet tissue from the roll.
"It's not too much?"
"Not at all…it's just that we're not used to seeing you so dressed up and you look great!", Cream explained.
"Well…ok then…I guess we should put our shoes downstairs and do the finishing touches now."
"Got that right, let's get going."
Blaze grabbed her rhinestone heels, Cream grabbed her glitter pumps, Amy grabbed her silver sandals, and they all went downstairs.
"Well it took you guys long enough…", Shadow said in his classic deep voice without even looking up.
"Don't listen to this dumbass, you girls look DAMN good! Take all the time you need!", Mephiles said, now dressed in black jeans and a white undershirt with a black button up shirt that was worn open.
Amy looked over at Shadow who was now looking at her a little longer than he usually would. He also was dressed differently. He wore black skinny jeans, a white undershirt, and a black blazer with silver spikes on the shoulders. He was looking at her so intently with his piercing ruby eyes and stern features.
He's doing this on purpose…but he looks…REALLY good…
Amy waved as if to say , "Hello, what do you want?". Shadow smirked slightly but continued to look at her with the same amount of power he started with.
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
Blaze and Cream looked over to Amy because they were both holding the fog machine and the lights.
"Oh fine…"
Amy lazily walked over to the door and opened it.
"HUN! "
"Rouge!"
Yes, Rouge the bat stood outside the door wearing an extremely short black, club like, dress that dipped all the way down to her pierced belly button. To say it was showing a bit of cleavage was an understatement. She wore tall silver platform heels that strapped all the way up to her upper calves. Her hair had gotten longer, all the way down to her upper waist and her makeup was heavy as usual.
Rouge pulled Amy into a tight hug that only felt tighter because of the hard boobs that crushed her. Once Rouge pulled away, Amy rubbed her own boobs.
"Oh you like em? Got them done some months ago, where's the rest of the possy?"
Ha, she hasn't changed a bit!
Amy stood aside and allowed Rouge to walk inside.
"Cream! My Mini-me!", Rouge rushed past everyone and squeezed the petite rabbit.
"Rouge! How are you!"
Rouge released her and noticed her rubbing herself the same way Amy just was.
"I'm great, being a married woman and all…"
"MARRIED WOMAN?", Cream, Blaze, and Amy yelled.
Shadow just rolled his eyes and shook his head while Mephiles looked like he wouldn't believe it.
"Don't have a heart attack now…me and Knuckles are married!", Rouge said with a huge smile and expecting someone to say something.
It was silent for a short moment.
"Well...CONGRATULATIONS!", Cream exclaimed with disbelief still on her face.
"B-but how?", Blaze asked quietly.
"Oh Hun I didn't see you there! I'm sorry I didn't get to everyone, you look great for once by the way …didn't need my assistance for an outfit!"
Blaze tightened her features and rolled her eyes.
"We got married last month after this wild party in Casino Park. We got so wasted and then decided to get hitched at some quick chapel. Woke up and decided to stay that way and now it's been a month! Shocked the hell out of me actually but I wouldn't want it any other way."
Everything in the room was silent. Everyone had their eyes on an oblivious Rouge. Whereas she was smiling brightly, everyone else looked shocked, stunned, and distressed.
I wonder if Sonic and the others know this…
Amy broke the mood by walking across the living room and going into the kitchen. She pulled out her phone and saw,
1 New Message Sonic
Sonic- Heads up! ROUGE AND KNUCKLES ARE MARRIED!
Amy- I JUST FOUND OUT AND WAS ABOUT TO TELL U!
Sonic- lmao, shocking huh?
Amy- beyond…how r things?
Sonic-finishing up here…Silver ordered so much shit (-_-)
Amy- lol, please take ur time cuz ppl still have to start getting here
Sonic- well the drive is pretty far so u think that's enough?
Amy- idk I'll let u kno
Sonic- ok
Amy walked back to the living room and noticed Rouge leaning on Mephiles' Dj station, Blaze and Cream setting up the fog machine, and Shadow being Shadow on the wall.
Wait…where are people gonna SIT!
"BLAZE! WHERE ARE PEOPLE SITTING?"
Blaze looked at Amy in pure horror.
"SHIT! I KNEW I FORGOT SOMETHING!", she started to hyperventilate.
"Uhh calm down…we have time…umm"
"I know some people, I can get you some chair rentals for outside.", Rouge said simply.
"But the party isn't outside!", Blaze said in a panic
"Ok but people would want fresh air…might as well put chairs out there…", Rouge retorted.
"Listen Blaze, it's not a bad idea just calm down…Rouge how fast can you do that?", Cream asked.
"Oh…I got these people on a tight leash…give them 20 minutes!"
"That's cutting it close…but can you call them please?", Amy asked politely.
"Gotcha hun."
Rouge leisurely walked into the kitchen with her cell phone at her ears.
"See it's all settled!", Cream assured Blaze who stared at the floor and exhaled heavily.
"Let's just..finish up in here and Shadow?"
Shadow looked up at Blaze with a look that said, "What?"
"Get your ass up and help!"
Amy giggled and when Shadow shot a look at her, she stuck her tongue out and crossed her eyes.
In a matter of 10 minutes the fog machine was set for whenever it was to be turned on, the lights were set by the DJ booth, and Mephiles had begun to play some music. Slowly people started to arrive with no place to sit and no food. Amy would greet them at the door and apologize but they seemed to have no problem.
"Cream! The food?", Blaze asked in a panicked voice.
"Is coming…don't worry!", Cream said shaking her.
Turn up the music cause the song just came on
Turn up the music if they try to turn us down
Turn up the music, can I hear it til the speakers blow
Turn up the music, fill your cup, and drink it down
"DON'T STAND ON THE WALL! THIS ISN'T YOUR HIGH SCHOOL! GET THAT ASS ON THE FLOOR! BIRTHDAY BOY MAY NOT BE HERE YET BUT GET THE PARTY STARTED!", Rouge yelled.
If you're sexy and you know it, put yo hands up in the air
Put yo hands up in the air, girl put yo hands up, hands up, hands up, hands up
If you're sexy and you know it, put yo hands up in the air
Put yo hands up in the air, girl put yo hands up
And
Rouge danced as if she were dancing already for hours. She had no problem being the only one out of everyone and getting all types of looks from everyone.
Amy smiled at her confidence and noticed Cream dancing her way over to the middle where Rouge was.
Turn up the music (just turn it up louder)
Turn up the music (I need it in my life, yeah)
Turn up the music (just turn it up louder)
Turn up the music (I need it in my life, yeah)

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohhh (turn up the music)
T-t-turn up the music
T-turn up the
The two girls were stealing the show and it brought Amy faintly to the last time they were all together dancing.
The club…when Sonic came back…
Blaze's sudden hand on Amy's shoulder brought her out of any further thinking.
"Hey the food is here…and so is more people apparently…", Blaze said as she looked at how crowded the living room was getting.
Amy went over to the door and helped the guys who were bringing the food into the house. Her and Blaze set them neatly on top of the already set table in the kitchen.
"Need some help?"
Amy got startled again as Shadow stood right in front of her.
"Umm well do you wanna go grab the trays of food from the door?"
Shadow said nothing. Instead he just went over to the door and started to bring the food in.
Amy shook her head and then went to check her phone again.
Sonic- about 10 minutes away
Amy- WHAT!
Sonic- whoa is that not a good thing?
Amy- well NOT RLY! We're now getting the food and we forgot about chairs so those haven't even come yet and everyone is not here I believe
Sonic-so wat do we do?
Amy- IDK! He's gonna see ppl coming in the house and then we can't even surprise him
Sonic- well…he can be surprised when he sees what's going on?
Amy- NO IT'S NOT THE SAME!
Sonic- I'll txt u at the next light
"BLAZE! THEY'RE 10 MINUTES AWAY!"
"WHAT! OH MY GOSH AMY NO!"
"I KNOW! BUT WHAT CAN WE DO!"
"UGH PEOPLE ARE STILL GONNA BE COMING IN!"
"WHY DON'T WE TELL THEM TO JUST COME INSIDE, EVERYONE INCLUDING THESE FOOD PEOPLE?"
"WHAT ABOUT THE CHAIR PEOPLE? AND THE REST OF THE GUESTS?"
"I'LL TELL SONIC TO COME QUICK!"
Blaze started to laugh.
"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING FOR?"
"TELL SONIC TO COME QUICK!"
"SHUT UP BLAZE! THIS ISN'T A TIME FOR JOKING!", Amy yelled with a slight blush on her face as she stormed over to the living room window.
Amy- Can u hurry here so we can just surprise him before everybody comes
Sonic- gonna try, be rdy in 3 minutes
"SHUT THE MUSIC OFF MEPHILES! EVERYBODY SHUT THE HELL UP! FOOD PEOPLE GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!"
Immediately everything was silent. Amy felt very proud inside at this new ability but she had to keep this demeanor of hers.
"Silver is gonna be here in about 3 minutes. Blaze what song needs to play when he walks in?"
Blaze started to giggle but then she said,
"It's a surprise…"
She quickly went over to Mephiles and whispered something into his ear which, in turn, had his eyes huge.
"But what the fuck is that song?", he said a bit too loud.
"Pull it up online and play it!", Blaze scolded him.
Mephiles clicked some things on his laptop and then said,
"Ok ready…"
Amy and Cream rushed to turn off the lights and then Amy checked her phone again.
Sonic- Outside the house
All of a sudden Amy's stomachs started to churn into knots and she felt nervous. She actually thought she might even throw up but she reasoned that she was just nervous and it would go away once the surprise was over.
Eeveyrone was silent and could hear the loud booiming voice of someone.
"5 STAR? THAT WAITRESS LOOK LIKE SHE BELONG AT A FLEA MARKET! No lie though, Blaze looks like that too when she's doing Sunday cleaning."
Blaze's eyes went huge in fury behind the wall with Cream and Amy. They both snorted laughs and completely stopped once they saw a peek of sunlight enter through the door. Blaze peeked her head out from the kitchen and nodded to Mephiles.
The lights were turned on and then,
"SURPRISE!", Everyone in the room yelled out. Blaze, Cream, and Amy stepped out form the kitchen to see the reaction.
He's my best friend, best of all best friends
Do you have a best friend too?
It tickles in my tummy, he's so yummy yummy
Hey, you should get a best friend too!
My best friend!
Hoo ha, hoo ha!
"Wooooooooow", was all Silver said with a smile on his face. Sonic slapped his shoulder while Knuckles and Tails smiled behind him.
Hello, baby, can I see a smile
I'm going to a party, and it's gonna be wild
Can I come, I am sitting alone
No Friends are never alone
"And Blaze? Because the ring tone wasn't enough?", Silver laughed.
Blaze laughed too, much harder than he was.
Maybe some pretty girls are in your world
Excuse me, I could also be your girl
Lately, everyone is making fun
Na na na na na na na na na na na...
Amy and Cream in the corner had shocked faces at what Silver was even wearing. He had on a shiny, glittery, metallic, silver suit. It was so incredibly flashy that he must have turned heads everywhere he went. He wore a matching suit hat, dark sunglasses, and he had a rhinestone cane with him.
Amy and Cream then looked at each other and started to laugh.
He's my best friend, best of all best friends
Do you have a best friend too?
It tickles in my tummy, he's so yummy yummy
Hey, you should get a best friend too!
My best friend!
Hoo ha, hoo ha!
Silver went and grabbed Blaze, kissed her on the check and then started to spin her around to the song.
Aww they look so…happy…
Amy started to look around at everyone. Rouge was looking like "What the fuck?". Tails looked on happily, Knuckles looked a bit tired, Mephiles looked like "What the hell am I even playing?", Shadow looked like he wanted to kill somebody, and then she locked eyes on Sonic, who locked eyes with her.
He smiled warmly at her and then she felt the churning in her stomach return.
"OK EVERYONE THE FOOD IS IN THE KITCHEN, IF YOU MAKE A MESS YOU'RE OUT OK! THE PINK HEDGEHOG WILL BE WATCHING YOU AND SHE'S GONNA TELL ME IF YOU GUYS ARE BEING WILD ANIMALS!", Rouge yelled to the crowd that had gotten even bigger.
Outside, the chairs were being set up already and monitored by Blaze. Cream and Amy were in the kitchen. Amy was going to be in charge of the food and Cream was in charge of the drinks. She made a couple to start with and left beers out for people to start taking.
Silver was loaded with birthday wishes from all the guests. Most of them were from his extended family, childhood, and college. Others started to just look like strangers.
Knuckles was over with Rouge, while Tails was with Sonic.
Everything was actally going smoothly for once. The people didn't mob the kitchen, probably because they were being watched. They didn't push for drinks and for the most part, people were dancing in the living room.
Amy looked around occasionally to see how things were going. People were dancing, Silver was STILL greeting everyone, and Blaze was STILL outside. Then Amy noticed Shadow coming over.
"Aren't your feet hurting you or something?", he asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Well that's exactly why I didn't wear heels…smart right?"
"Never that!"
Amy smiled and then hit the black and red hedgehog in front of her.
"Do you want me to take over?", he asked.
"No I got it…thanks…"
"Looking a little too nice to be standing here with a bunch of unknown people, if you ask me…"
"Aww is that a compliment in disguise?", Amy pressed.
"If I wanted to compliment you I would have…"
"Don't need to play hard Shad…", Amy teased while reaching to pinch Shadow's cheeks.
"It's Shadow…", Shadow gave the (-_-) face.
Amy then looked and saw Sonic coming over. The churning happened again.
"Ames! You look…wow!"
Amy blushed heavily.
It's soooo the lips…if I had just-
Sonic cleared his throat and then continued to say,
"Everything alright here?", ignoring the fact that Shadow was even there.
"Yeah…I think everyone should be done eating soon."
"Then you'll eat?"
"Yeah, 'cause I'm hungry actually…"
"I could say eat now but I'm sure you'll just stick to your guns and stand right here…"
"It's great that you already know!"
Sonic smirked and then walked over to Cream. Shadow looked at Amy once Sonic had walked away.
"Since when did he care about how you were doing?"
"Since…things have been getting better between us…"
"And since when is that?"
"Since…my doctor and I had a talk…"
"Alright…"
"What do you really wanna say?", Amy said while making sure to look Shadow in the eye.
"I don't think you want to hear it right now…"
"I do…just say it…"
"Just make sure this whole sudden change isn't bullshit Amy…"
Amy looked over and saw Sonic taking a beer from where Cream was and then start conversing with her and Tails. She also noticed that Sonic had his silver tie on loosely and he looked even more handsome if it was even possible.
He could play me at any time…Shadow's right…I've already let my guard down so much because of Doctor Whall…suppose she's just wrong! She doesn't know my life!
What is ever the right thing to do…
"Hey…don't zone out like that, go eat something and I'll stand watch for the circus."
I just know I can't push him away…so if that's what Shadow is suggesting then I can't because I even know that's not gonna make ANYTHING better
But I like the idea of being around him TOO much already…I can't…it'll just hurt more if he chooses suddenly that he doesn't want this…
"Hey you pink girl! Go eat! I'll stand here!"
"O-oh…umm ok…"
Amy absentmindedly went over to the buffet table, grabbed a plate and then started to serve herself some food.
But he's been sooo great lately…different from the guy I thought I used to like…so much BETTER than that guy…but what if he gets bored of me and goes with other girls again…it IS a habit of his…that'll just hurt…that's why I can't get any closer than this…I JUST CAN'T!
But can we even be friends? Just friends? This isn't-
"I thought she said she would wait here until everyone was done?"
"She gave YOU that idea…guess she changed her mind huh?"
Amy was brought out of her thinking by the two familiar voices. She snapped her head over to the side where it was coming from.
Shadow had his arms crossed against his chest and an un-amused face staring at Sonic. Sonic, in contrast, stood in front of him with a daring look on his face as if he felt challenged.
I look away for a second...just a second...
"Umm HEY! Everyone was just about done so I just decided to come get something now before the food got cold…", Amy tried to say from the buffet table and she succeeded in getting the attention of both hedgehogs.
Lies…
Sonic walked up to her first.
"If that was the case, I coulda gotten it for you while it was hot…"
"Thanks really but umm I just wanted to umm do my job…"
"Always working hard huh?", Sonic said, his eyes softening.
"I try…"
"Alright, I just wanted to leave you to do your thing 'cause I know how much you just DETEST someone helping you just a teeny tiny bit."
Amy laughed a little.
"Yeah…thanks for that…"
Sonic winked and then said,
"I'll be waiting for a dance you know…"
"Oh is that so?"
"Yeah, so don't find yourself alone on the dancefloor…I'll be the creeper on the wall waiting for you…"
Amy laughed and then lightly hit Sonic on the arm.
"Go creep on someone else!"
"Don't wanna", Sonic said simply and then turned around to go back in the living room but he turned around once again to give Amy a creeper face which made her laugh again.
She finished getting her plate and then went back over to Shadow.
"What was that all about?", she asked.
"Nothing"
"It didn't look like nothing…"
"Look, don't worry about it."
"Why are you being like that?"
"Leave it alone Amy…"
"I'm just asking a-"
"I said leave it alone..."
Amy looked at Shadow angrily and then walked away in hopes that the chairs were set up outside. She saw that Blaze was sitting in one of the chairs with her eyes closed and the workers driving away in their trucks.
"So they're done?", Amy asked, startling Blaze.
"Yep, everyone's free to sit out here if they want."
"Haha tell Rouge to pass the word, she's the official MC."
"Will do!"
As Blaze went inside, Amy took a seat outside and started to eat her food when suddenly,
"Ugly!
Amy turned around knowing who it could be.
"The one and only!", she exclaimed proudly.
Silver came over to her, put her food on the chair and pulled her up into a hug.
"Thanks for all this! I know you helped!"
"Umm how?"
"I knew something was gonna happen today, couldn't exactly put my finger on it but I knew from the time Sonic said he wanted to take me to a restaurant... gay."
Amy started to laugh.
"But isn't that normal for you guys?"
"Too normal that's why!"
Amy laughed harder.
"Somehow I knew you weren't THAT stupid to not catch on to SOMETHING…but Blaze wanted it to be sooo perfect for you."
"Yeah I told her I had a clue…she was about to get all upset but the Silver charm works every time!"
"I suppose…and what about this get up?"
"Oh THIS?", Silver said, taking a step back to marvel at his outfit.
"I was saving this for a special occasion…don't I look like money?"
"You look like a goddamn nickel…"
Silver started to laugh and then pulled Amy under his arm.
"If I'm a nickel, then you're certainly the penny…nope you're the receipt."
Amy laughed and then punched Silver in the side.
"Get back to your party will ya?"
"I'm goin, I'm goin…just wanted to thank you is all…"
"Alright! You're welcome!", Amy said shooing him away.
Finally I can eat
About an hour had passed and the party was going strong. The sun had set , the lights in the house were turned off and the party lights and fog machine were on. Almost everyone was some form of drunk and most of them were squeezed on the dance floor. The rest were outside drinking , smoking, and doing other things. All of the food was finished but the drinks were there for miles. At this point, the more people coming in were people Silver didn't even know but when you have a house party with a once popular college student, it was expected.
"AYO, AYO! I KNOW THIS IS A CELEBRATION FOR MY MANS SILVER! WE GO WAAAY BACK TO THE HOUSE PARTY DAYS! SHOUT OUT TO MY BROS SONIC, KNUCKLES, AND TAILS. IT'S ABOUT TIME TO FLIP THE SCRIPT AND PLAY THOSE THROWBACKS! REMEMBER THIS ONE GUYS?"
They be like smooth (what?)
Can you teach me how to dougie?
You know why?
'Cause all the girls love me (aye)
All I need is a beat that's super bumping
And for you, you, and you to back it up and dump it!
The whole room cheered for the beat. Meanwhile, Amy, Cream, and Blaze all looked at each other with the same look.
Are they thinking what I'm thinking?
The dance floor opened up into a circle and Silver took the floor with his dougie. Then after a while Knuckles and Sonic got into it.
The girls looked at each other again.
Ok they are SOOO thinking what I'm thinking…Mobius freshman dance 2011…
The song continued for a while and different people took turns getting into the circle. Blaze walked away into the kitchen after a while and Amy decided to follow in case she needed help. But little did they know that someone was following them both.
"Well, well, well if it isn't the part thrower Blaze!"
Blaze whipped her head around from getting her cup of beer and then she looked angry.
"What are YOU doing here?"
In front of Blaze was a beautiful golden fox, similar to Tails' color, with long wavy auburn hair and bright green eyes. She had on a short silver dress that looked VERY similar to Blaze's.
"Word's been going on for a while now, it's kinda all over the internet and I wanted to wish my old friend happy birthday!"
"He's NOT your FRIEND…"
"Oh Blaze…I swear we always had the same taste in EVERYTHING, clothing obviously because it looks like our dresses are the same tonight, college majors, even boys…"
"Blaze! Maybe we should cut the-", Amy tried to say, sensing something was wrong with her friend and this girl.
"YOU'RE NOT INVITED JEN!"
"There's a lot of people not invited here I can assure you."
"This is MY house so I can kick you out!"
"Oh Blaze are you upset? This reminds me of the times when we would have crushes on the same guys. Remember Christian in high school? Sonic when college started? Silver? Ha and two out of three are in one place…I'm about to have a field day."
Sonic? Who is this bitch!
"Umm Blaze who is this?", Amy asked, feeling more involved now.
"Oh call me Jen please, short for Jennifer", the fox said extending her hand.
Amy just looked at the hand in disgust and then said,
"Does Silver know you?"
"NO he DOESN'T! LEAVE!", Blaze interrupted.
Amy took this as a cue to go get Silver. She's never seen Blaze that angry so she knew something was about to go down.
"Why don't we just ask him ourselves? I'm she he'll say I can stay.", Jen smiled sweetly.
"It doesn't matter what the FUCK he says! It's MY house so leave before I call the police!"
"Babe what's goin on?"
"Silver how are you doing? Happy Birthday!", Jen said sweetly.
"Umm thank you…Jennifer?"
"Aww you remember…nice party you have here."
"Owe it all to my wifey.", Silver said, giving Blaze a kiss on her burning cheek.
"Mhmm, you see…she's demanding that I leave and-"
"Well then I guess you should go then!"
"Excuse me?"
"Her house, her rules and if you're making my babe mad then you definitely have to go…so seeya!"
Jen had her mouth open in shock and then managed to muster,
"Really?"
"Yeah!'
"You know Blaze…it'd hard to believe we were best friends…"
"I say the same damn thing!", Blaze said with venom on her tongue.
Jen gave the couple one last stare before she stormed off and out the door.
"What the hell was she doing here, I barely know her…", Silver asked Blaze.
"You barely know her because she was my best friend around the time you didn't even know I existed."
"Worst years of my life!"
Blaze blushed and then kissed Silver on the lips.
"Go have fun, everything is fine now."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, thanks."
Silver walked off into the living room.
"You know, till this day it's so weird seeing you two kiss…", Amy mentioned from being quiet the whole time.
Blaze blushed harder.
"And by the way…who the FUCK is Jen?"
Blaze sighed.
"We were best friends since high school and the beginning of college. The problem was that every single boy I liked, she would start liking and then try to compete with me for everything. In high school I liked this boy and she got him to ask her on a date. We came to Mobius and I liked Sonic really quick and then she went with him being the slut that she is.
Ugh so Sonic has been with her…such a fucking man whore
Just relax…that was years ago…the years when you knew how he used to be…calm it down…
"Then I started to really like Silver when we had a class together and when she started to like him too that was just the last straw because I honestly really liked Silver…looks like I won that time huh?", Blaze said proudly.
Amy smiled at her friend and shook her head. They both walked back into the living room.
Take it off I wanna love you and everybody wanna touch you
You movin right wanna see what's up under then back it up, beep beep like a trucker.
Oh HELL no…
Amy scanned the room for a face who she knew would catch hers if she didn't catch his first.
Nice thighs, nice waist, and you know I can't forget about your face
But don't none of that matter I'm about to make your pockets fatter
DÉJÀ VU DÉJÀ VU!
Amy gave up trying to look and was going to retreat to the kitchen but then she gasped as someone came up behind her.
Girl I just wanna see you strip, right now cause it's late, babe
Girl I just wanna see you strip, girl take your time with it
"Remind you of something?", he whispered in her ear.
"Umm", Amy said in a panicked voice.
Of course it does…THAT DAMN DANCE!
Girl I just wanna see you strip God damn you're sexy (for meeee)
God damn you're sexy! (babbyyy) God damn you're sexy!
Girl I just wanna see you...
Sonic started to move on her the way he had years ago to the same song. She felt like she was in the same exact position where she didn't move and just allowed the guy to be up on her. She blushed profusely at what she was feeling this time from him.
Ok…he's definitely drunk, I'm not…he's a bit happier and impulsive than usual…
I'm levelheaded and know exactly what I'm doing...
It's just a dance BUT last time I gave in to this…we set ourselves up for this future…I won't cross the line this time when things are so well...
Amy pulled herself away from Sonic and went up Blaze's stairs and into the bathroom without a word. She half expected a knock on the door but was a bit relieved that she didn't. She took this time to look herself over in the mirror. Her eye shadow had started to crease, her lipstick was close to gone, and he curls had fallen. She wiped the eye shadow off clean and wiped the red of the lipstick off. She put on some shimmery lip gloss and redid her hair into her famous bun with her bangs out.
When she came out of the bathroom, she decided to go around to the back of the house and get to the chairs in front through that back door. She did NOT want to pass and see Sonic and explain anything. At the moment she felt just plain weird, unsure, and confused.
"Oh this is where you are Shadow…and smoking again…great…"
"Well I'm gonna stop now since you're out here…you shouldn't be out here anyway 'cause many people have been out here doing the same thing."
"Well I don't wanna be in THERE right now…"
"What happened?"
"Umm, it's a bit too hot for me…"
Lies again!
"Mhmm…"
Shadow put out his cigarette and held it in between his fingers.
"So tell me what really happened?"
"Is it always that obvious?"
"I'm just good at this…"
"Well umm…I don't feel like dancing…"
"Ooook…what does that have to do with anything?"
"Someone wanted to dance…"
"Oh…him…"
Amy noticed how Shadow's features hardened more than they usually were.
Maybe I shouldn't talk about this…something is going on between those two…
"Nevermind…", Amy quickly said.
Shadow didn't say anything.
"You two act…weird…", she tried to hint.
"Really?",Shadow asked emotionless.
"Yeah…is there something wrong?"
"Not at all…"
Yes…
"Shadow? You don't normally act like this…", Amy said softly trying to catch his eyes.
"Hey look at me!", Amy took hold of his face and brought it to look at her.
He looked at her and his stare held a lot of power but hers made it soft.
"What's the matter?", she begged.
"Nothing Amy…"
She still held his face and actually started to caress it.
"I know that's not true…"
"How would you know what's true?"
Amy's hands crept up behind Shadow's quills and then she tugged lightly.
"Am I not your best friend!"
"That's all you call it?"
Amy felt a bit startled.
"What?"
"Nothing, go back to the party Amy."
"NO! I want to know what's wrong with you!", she tugged some more.
"How many times do I have to tell you nothing…", he released her hands from his quills.
"IT'S NOT NOTHING SHADOW! YOU'VE BEEN WEIRD ALL DAY AND YOU'RE BARELY TALKING TO ME! IT'S LIKE YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK TO ME!", Amy said frustrated now.
She searched his eyes passionately for something, anything. She knew it would be hard.
"I'm talking to you now am I not?"
"You're not telling me about what I'm asking you specifically!"
"Then stop asking me..."
"WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?"
"Stop asking me that question."
"I WON'T STOP 'CAUSE WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH ME YOU ALWAYS PRESS ME AND I TELL YOU, SO WHY WON'T YOU TELL ME?"
"It's very simple, because it's nothing."
"I KNOW IT'S A LIE BECAUSE EVERY TIME SONIC GETS INTO THE CONVERSATION YOU START ACTING WEIRD LIKE THIS!", Amy yelled in his face.
Shadow seemed to pause and then looked fiercely at Amy.
"GO INSIDE AMY, NOW!", he yelled back at her.
There was an odd silence. Shadow looked out towards the street while Amy looked down at the grass.
"Shadow? Do you really want me to go back inside?"
"..."
"Because I don't wanna go back inside."
"You-"
"If you won't at least tell me what's going on...then I want to stay out here…with you..."
Shadow looked at Amy and registered everything she was doing. One of her soft hands made its way around his neck and she slid it down to his back as she started to rest her head onto his chest. He could feel her inhaling his scent and he felt feelings arise in him that he tried to suppress all this time. It was reaching the limit for him.
He nudged her chin up to look at him and she moved closer when suddenly,
"AMY? ARE YOU-...Oh…"
Amy twisted her head to see Sonic at the door step looking at her and Shadow with a confused face.
"Am I interrupting something?", he asked.
"Sonic-"
"Yes actually!", Shadow spoke up.
"Oh! Is that so?", Sonic asked with his arms crossed.
"Sonic-"
"Yeah so maybe you can leave now.", Shadow said simply.
"SHADOW!"
"Well then I apologize! Have fun you two!", Sonic said bitter as ever. The sarcasm was extremely detectable.
"SONIC WAIT!", Amy yelled as she watched Sonic walk back into the house.
She got up from her seat to go follow him.
"Don't tell me you feel bad for this?", Shadow asked as he held a light grip on her wrist to stop her.
"SHADOW YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!", she yelled yanking it back.
"I don't? I'm sure I understand that this is the same guy who did things ten times worse to you! WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT! ARE YOU THAT DUMB!", he yelled at her.
Amy looked at him in shock, tears brimming her eyes quickly and falling very quickly after. Shadow watched her and his once rough face softened at the sight of her. Amy's breathing got more uneasy and she felt her heart pound harder. She put her hand where it was as if that would calm it down and concentrated hard on keeping her tears on the inside but was failing miserably.
"Amy..."
Shadow tried to reach for her but she stepped back. Then suddenly,
"TAILS! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"
Amy turned her head and watched as Tails stormed out from the house with car keys in his hands. Following behind was Cream who started to become hysterical.
"TAILS HOW AM I GONNA GET HOME!", she yelled with tears in her eyes
"FIGURE THAT OUT! MAYBE THAT GUY CAN TAKE YOU!"
"TAILS PLEASE! DON'T JUST LEAVE! WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT!", she yelled more as she followed Tails to the car.
"We always talk about it Cream, and as of late I think you take advantage of my kindness…you would cheat and me and the old me would have just forgiven you because I love you so much but it's about time I take one from the bros this time…"
"TAILS I WOULDN'T CHEAT ON YOU, I LOVE YOU!"
Tails looked at Cream and shook his head then got into the driver's seat.
"NO!"
"Cream, excuse yourself please…"
"Please can we just talk about it!"
"Cream…please move…"
"Just say we can talk about it!"
"Maybe later…please go back to the house now…"
Cream backed up, holding her mouth and breathing heavily. Tears spilled from her eyes. She watched as Tails drove away, then she ran past everyone and into Blaze's backyard. Amy on instinct ran after her.
