Demon: Welcome back to A Friend in Need!

Amy: That was so embarrassing.

Chris: I know. Demon, why'd you do that to us?

Demon: I needed a little humor and suspense. Give me a break.

Skagui: Yeah, give him a break.

Amy: Who's this?

Demon: Skagui, meet the crew. Guys, this is Skagui.

Skagui: Nice to meet you.

Amy: Where's Snivy and Bliss?

GoodWriter: Snivy went to watch over Tails and Sonic, who are still out cold.

Amy: And Bliss?

Demon: She's still with LSLV, but she's not here anymore.

Amy: So, you replace her with this ass?

Skagui: Watch it, Amy. (pulls out a SMG)

Amy: I'll shut up.

GoodWriter: Oh right. What happened to the Godfather? After we chased him down, I left. What happened to him?

Demon: Well, go open the window curtain and see.

(Confused, GoodWriter opened the curtain, everyone else looking over)

All except Demon and GoodWriter: Holy Shit!

GoodWriter (stunned): You didn't…

Demon (smirking): Yeah, I did it.

(Outside in the back yard, a large stake with the Godfather's impaled body, was sticking out of the ground)

Amy: I can't believe you killed him!

GoodWriter: Why'd you do that to him?

Demon: He threatened to kill us all after you left. What do you think I'd do?

GoodWriter: Wow, Demon. Wow.

Demon: Consider it a warning to all other threats.

Chris: Uh, anyway, on with the chapter!

Chapter 14: Discussion and Disturbing Gift

Chris and Amy remained awake throughout most of the night. Occasionally, one would take a short nap, while the other continued watching. The pair had been watching over Sonic, who was still out cold from his earlier "discovery". Amy had replaced her dress on her, while Chris got his pants back on and zipped up, as if nothing had happened. Of course, both knew something happened, or would have. This was, of course, evidenced by one passed out blue hero that was currently on Chris's couch.

During the night, Amy and Chris would discuss different topics. One of the main topics was Rouge's party, which was set for two days from now. "This is really becoming difficult," Amy had mentioned to the human, "I mean, we're supposed to keep this secret from everyone, and yet Rouge and Shadow are probably suspicious, who knows what with Cream and Tails, and now Sonic caught us in the act!" Chris nodded nervously, still looking at the blue hedgehog. "I know, Amy. This is tough, but we have to try to keep this a secret for the next few days. Unfortunately, I think Sonic's an exception. We don't have any choice but to tell him. I doubt he'll think it was a dream." Amy nodded in worry.

The night eventually turned into day as the sunlight peaked into the room. Amy was currently nodding on and off, while Chris was staring blankly at Sonic, his eyes almost glazed over. Finally, Sonic stirred, causing Chris and Amy both to instantly sober up and stand, bracing for the impending hell. The blue blur sat up, shaking his head. 'Oh man, what a nightmare. I'm glad it wasn't real. That was one hell of a vivid dream, though.' He thought as he opened his eyes, taking in his surroundings. He froze when he noticed that he was in Chris's apartment, and that the couple was standing near him, looking at him in fear. A thought instantly came out of Sonic's mouth. "It wasn't a nightmare, was it?" Involuntarily, Amy and Chris shook their heads.

The two hedgehogs and human sat in Amy's living room, each looking in anxiety. Sonic had rushed them to Amy's house, figuring there was enough drama in the apartment already. Sonic stared at the couple, who were holding hands. "So, you two are together, huh?" Sonic asked, knowing full well the answer. Chris and Amy nodded their heads. "Yeah. We became a couple recently. Very recently." He finally spoke, Sonic nodding as a result. "When?" The hero asked quickly. This time, Amy spoke up. "I told him I loved him on Sunday. We officially become a couple on Friday."

Sonic looked over to her, confused. Getting what Sonic was confused about, Chris spoke up. "We're planning on telling everyone about it on Friday. Rouge is planning on throwing a party Friday, and we figured it'd be a good time to tell everyone." Amy nodded in agreement. Sonic breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. Also, maybe you should watch when you do that kind of stuff. Imagine if Cream or Tails walked in and caught you." The couple blushed immediately at this thought. "Anyway," Sonic continued, "don't worry about it. I'll keep your secret safe, alright? Just try to hide it a little more. I'm sure the others could pick up on it if you're not careful."

Chris and Amy nodded in agreement. "You make a good point, Sonic. We'll try to be careful." Amy replied. After a few moments, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing the disturbing incident was behind them. Sonic stood up and walked toward the door. "Well, it's been fun warping my mind and all, but I have to go shopping." The blue blur opened the door and stepped outside. Amy, interested, stopped him. "What do you have to go shopping for?" Sonic looked over to the pink hedgehog. "I need to get some new clothes for Rouge's party. Her dress code's really stupid, but she wants it followed." Sonic noticed the couple had odd looks on their faces.

"There's a dress code for the party?" Chris asked in disbelief. He knew Rouge would never have people wear formal clothes. Sonic smirked. "Yeah. She wants the attendees to dress in outrageous clothing. Her exact words were 'total opposite of what you usually would wear'. She's batty, but creative." Sonic waved his goodbye and sped down the street, most likely to the mall.

Chris walked to the door and stepped outside. "I'm going to head back to the apartment for a little while. How about we meet up in about an hour and we can go shopping for the clothes then? I'm sure Rouge will probably be mad if we don't comply." Amy agreed fully before running over and grabbing Chris in her usual death hug. "Amy… can't breathe…" The human sputtered out, causing his girlfriend to release her death grip on him. "Okay. I'll be back here in about an hour. Later, Ames." Chris said as he walked away. Amy's heart fluttered. 'He never called me Ames before. Sonic was the only one to do that, and that was rare.' She happily thought as she watched her boyfriend walk down to his apartment.

Chris managed to arrive at his apartment within fifteen minutes. He planned on changing his clothes before heading back to Amy's place. Locking his door, Chris went into his bedroom to change. Ten minutes later, he walked out wearing a turquoise shirt with scarlet flames on the bottom and a pair of scarlet jeans. He was also wearing Amy's red sling, complete with hammer, which she left in the apartment when they rushed to her house. Picking up his wallet, phone, and keys he placed on the table, Chris unlocked the door and opened it.

Stepping outside, the human saw Sonic running towards him again. As expected, the blue blur stopped just in time, a strongbox-sized box in his hands. "Hey, Chris. Where's your 'girlfriend'?" Sonic poked Chris as he asked. The human shrugged. "Amy's still at her place. I wanted to change clothes before we went to the mall. We're getting the clothes for Rouge's party." Sonic nodded and walked alongside his friend. After a few minutes, Chris was in front of Amy's steps. Sonic held the box out for the human, who grabbed it. "What's this?" He asked the hedgehog, who seemed to be trying to fight a snicker.

"Don't worry, Chris. It's just something for you and Amy. That's all. I have to go now. See you guys later!" The blue blur zoomed off, a confused Chris in his wake. Shrugging, Chris walked into Amy's house, aware she couldn't swing at him this time. "Hey, Ames. I'm back!" He called into the house as he entered the living room.

A few minutes later, Amy entered wearing another of her usual red dresses. Her wet quills suggested she had finished taking a shower just prior. "What's that?" She asked, pointing to the box in Chris's hands. "I don't know. Sonic gave it to me while I was coming here. I wonder what it is." He muttered as he opened the lid. Inside the lid was another box, which was slightly smaller. Removing the box, he noticed a paper still in the bigger box. As Amy opened the second box, Chris picked up the paper and read it.

"Just in case you guys repeat last night. Sonic"

Chris looked at the paper in confusion before hearing Amy yell. "Damn it, Sonic!" Chris looked over and his face paled at the second box, which was filled to the brim with boxes of Trojan condoms. Chris's face went from pale to beet red in embarrassment. "Fuck me running." He muttered.

Demon: Chapter 14 is finished.

Amy and Chris: …

GoodWriter: Wow.

Demon: You didn't think Sonic would really let them off without a little ribbing, did you?

Skagui: Valid point.

Sonic: Still, Demon. I thought Tails would do something like that.

(Snivy walks in)

Snivy: What did I miss?

Skagui: Read the script. You'll see, Snivy.

Snivy: Thanks, Bli… holy shit! New friend! (Grabs Skagui in a hug)

Demon: Alright girl, let go of Skagui. I don't need another dead body around here. The code is 1 allowed.

Snivy: What are you talking about?

GoodWriter: Go look out the window and look down.

(Snivy walks toward window)

Demon: Anyway, read and review!

GoodWriter: No flaming!

Snivy: Holy shit!

Amy and Chris: …
