It was finally June, the most emotional month of the school year and the group were working as hard as ever to be in time for graduation. "Okay, so we all know the plan right?" Amy asked again for the hundredth time.

Shadow rolled his eyes. "Rose, you've told us again and again. We all know what to do."

Amy glared at him. "Alright Shads, then tell me."

He smirked. "Don't call me Shads."

"You call me Rose."

"It sounds nice and I don't do nicknames."

Amy rolled her eyes. "Alright, well played." He chuckled.

"We're all going to meet at my house and set everything up since it'll be the last place Faker will think of." It was Sonic's birthday and of course Amy wanted everything to be perfect. What she wanted even more was to use the element of surprise.

Amy patted his head. "Good boy."

He glared at her. "I'm not a pet Rose."

"So I'm guessing you don't want this then." She brought out a wrapped brownie out of her bag. Shadow snatched it from her before she could even blink. She chuckled. "Alright I'll let everyone know." She sent out a mass text to the rest of their friends. They were in their study group, consisting of her, Shadow, Tails, Mina and Silver.

Mina sighed. "Guys we've been at this for the past two hours. Let's take a break." She got up. "I'm going to the plaza across the street. Be back in a bit." She left the group and walked out of the library.

"She's right." Tails said, putting down his textbook. "Let's go and start preparing the stuff for Sonic's party."

"Way ahead of you. Everything has already been brought to Shadow's. We just need to set it up."

Shadow gave the female a weird look. "What do you mean they already brought it? When?"

She chuckled. "Oh, Scourge apparently knows where you hide the spare key to your house and went there this morning to wait for the delivery."

He blinked several times. "Rose, there are so many things wrong with that sentence but I could've just skipped morning classes if you needed me to."

"Shadow, let's be realistic here. Score was going to skip either way. At least he was using his time to benefit us and not do something stupid like he always does. I even put him in charge of keeping Sonic busy until 5." The three let out a laugh.

"Shhh!" Silver rolled his eyes at the annoying librarian.

"What?"

"Amelia, you should've just asked Scourge to murder Sonic instead of keeping him busy because there is no way that both of them are going to be alive come 5 pm. There will only be one."

Shadow nodded. "I agree with Pothead. That was a very bad decision on your part."

Amy snorted. "Okay first Silver, don't call me Amelia, and second it's either you or him Shads. Pick one."

"Other Faker.." He mumbled.

Amy grinned. "Good. Now let's go." She got up and began to pack up her things.

Silver raised an eyebrow. "Where are we going?"

"It's like Tails said, we're going to go set up. There's a lot that needs to be done. Shadow, text Mina and tell her to meet us at your house."

x-x-x-x

"Wow." Was all Sally could say when they all arrived at Shadow's house an hour later with their presents. There were at least five huge boxes.

"Okay, the boxes contain streamers, paper dishes, DJ equipment that Tails will assemble, his birthday cake and the present that I bought him."

"I'm assembling a DJ stand?"

"Well, it's already built. You just need to plug all the wires and stuff in." Tails nodded and began to open the box.

"This is gonna take a while, isn't it?" Knuckles asked in a worried tone.

Fiona nodded. "Scourge is keeping him busy until five so I'm assuming that it'll take us that long to get everything ready." Cream groaned. The group opened up the boxes, except for Sonic's present.

"Alright, while we're setting this up, let's play a game." Rouge said.

"Like what?" Blaze asked.

Sally grinned. "Never have I ever."

Shadow rolled his eyes. "We can't drink Acorn." Mina checked the fridge and brought out a jar.

"We'll use pickle juice." She took each pickle one by one and placed it on a plate, putting it back inside the fridge. "We'll take a sip instead of finishing the glass."

"Ew, that's disgusting!" Knuckles exclaimed. Mina smirked, bringing out a bunch of glasses and pouring the contents into each one.

"Then just hope that you haven't done what the person says."

"I'll go first." Silver said, handing the streamers to Fiona. "Never have I ever... kissed anyone in this room that I wasn't romantically involved with." Amy and Shadow drank the pickle juice. Everyone gasped.

"No freaking way!" Knuckles exclaimed.

Rouge smirked. "Oh, this is interesting. Do tell."

Amy blushed. "Okay, it wasn't serious. We were 13 and it was before Sonic and I got together."

Shadow smirked. "Although, she practically threw herself at me." Her jaw dropped.

"I did not you liar!" Everyone turned to Mina.

"What?"

"You're not jealous?" Sally asked. She snorted.

"Why would I be? I didn't even know Shadow back then. Hell, I was still in elementary." They chuckled.

"Wow, who would've thought." Blaze said, a grin plastered on her face.

"How did it happen?" Tails asked, not concealing his grin either. Shadow rolled his eyes.

"Seven minutes in heaven. Remember Rouge's 13th birthday party?"

The bat's jaw dropped. "Say word! I didn't think that you two actually would."

"Well we did." She exhaled. "He was my first kiss."

"I was? Aw, I'm honored Rose." She punched him on his arm, hard.

"Oh my gosh!" Sally exclaimed. "Why didn't you tell any of us?" The sakura hedgehog shrugged.

"How long did it last?" Silver asked.

"Like ten seconds I think." Amy replied.

"Okay, next question." Sally said and smirked as she and Fiona continued to hang up the streamers. "Never have I ever.. stole something from a shop." Rouge, Knuckles, Shadow, Mina, Fiona and Blaze all took a sip. She chuckled. "Well, for Rouge I'm not surprised, she's the best but shame on the rest of you. What did you steal?"

"Jewels."

"A baseball." Knuckles said.

"Candy." Mina said.

"A really pretty necklace." Fiona said. Everyone gave her a weird look. "What, it wasn't expensive. It was at one of those girly shops."

"A pair of leather gloves." Shadow said.

"Someone else's food at McDonald's while we were waiting for the food. They went to the bathroom and I took their three cheeseburgers, two large fries, four sundaes and extra large cola." Everyone's jaw dropped.

"And you didn't think to share?!" Cream and Knuckles exclaimed. She chuckled.

"Didn't occur to me."

"My turn." Fiona said. "Never have I ever.. took someone's virginity." Knuckles and Silver took a sip.

Silver gagged. "Please say something that I haven't done from now on. This tastes disgusting." Knuckles nodded.

The auburn kitsune chuckled. "That was your first sip Silver."

"Alright." Amy said. "Never have I ever.. walked in on my parents while they were getting it on." Fiona, Rouge and Blaze took a sip. Everyone laughed.

"It was disturbing. I'm appalled that you guys are laughing." Blaze pouted. Rouge and Fiona nodded.

"Wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy." Fiona said. She and Sally had decorated half of the room with the streamers and Tails was nearly done with the DJ section.

"My turn." Knuckles said. "Never have I ever.. found Shadow attractive." He assumed the girls would agree with him and deflate Shadow's ego. Instead, the girls all took a sip. His jaw dropped while Shadow threw him a smug smirk.

Silver laughed. "You've got your own cheer squad Shads."

Blaze smirked. "Never have I ever.. cheated on any kind of examination." Rouge, Knuckles, Fiona and Sally took a sip.

Fiona gagged. "Okay, if I had known that drinking pickle juice would've been my consequence for doing all of those things, I never would've done them. Especially you Shadow. I should've lied about that. You weren't worth it." The ebony hedgehog chuckled and threw her a bottle of water.

"I snuck Tails' notes into my Physics exam." Rouge said as she turned to him. "Sorry buddy."

"Did you get caught?"

She smirked. "I wouldn't still be in school if I had."

"My old school, chemistry mid term. The teacher was a bitch." Fiona said.

"Your notes helped us in Biology last year Minnie." Sally said. Knuckles nodded sheepishly. The mongoose chuckled.

"Okay guys, let's finish this up. Scourge will be here soon." Everyone nodded and continued setting everything up.

x-x-x-x

"So why are you being so nice to me?" Sonic asked Scourge after they had made it outside of the city. Scourge had spent the afternoon so far by helping him study, which was a waste of time since neither of them knew what they were doing, treating him to a chilidog feast, egging their PE teacher's car, beating him in games at the arcade in the mall, scaring people senseless at IKEA by popping out of wardrobes, or in Sonic's case, act as though he had returned from Narnia, and now a race to the outskirts of the city. He grinned. "It's because you finally love me don't you?"

Scourge rolled his eyes. "Please, I'm just showing you how to actually treat someone on their birthday. You better take notes. Oh, and I almost forgot." He jumped on his counterpart, giving him 18 hard punches that'll most likely bruise.

Sonic winced. "You're a lunatic!" Scourge pinched him. "Ow!"

"If you think I'm a lunatic, then you're not prepared for Shadow."

Sonic shuddered. "Don't remind me. I don't think I'll still be breathing when he's done with me." Scourge chuckled.

"And Knuckles."

He groaned. "Why do have so many strong friends?"

Scourge sighed. "Remember that time you and Shadow almost kicked my ass here?"

Sonic let out a laugh. "Dude, I think we almost killed you that day."

"I forgot why."

"It was during the time that you spread a rumour around school saying that Shadow gave Amy an STD." He began to laugh, loudly. "It's not funny! I'm the one people pitied for how many days."

He wiped a stray tear. "I was such an idiot back in sophomore year. Although he owes me because I'm the one that got him and Mina together."

"Yeah, and he got Amy and I together."

Scourge raised an eyebrow and scoffed. "My story is cooler."

Flashback

"Hey Shads!" Shadow turned to the emerald hedgehog. It was the beginning of their junior year and they were waiting in the auditorium to be given their schedules and locker location.

"What's up?" They did a handshake. Scourge grinned.

"Check out all the fresh meat!"

"You have a girlfriend you disgusting sicko." Scourge rolled his eyes.

"I mean for you idiot. Oh, look at her. She's pretty." Across the room at the New Students section, there stood a yellow mongoose with long purple hair. She was wearing a white tank top with a leather vest, light washed denim shorts and black Chucks.

"She's younger than us Faker. She's probably a freshman." He shook his head.

"That's the new genius girl. She's supposed to be a freshman, but she's been placed in our year and she's gonna graduate with us." Shadow couldn't stop staring at her. "Go talk to her. You like smart girls."

Shadow shook his head. "I'm going to come off as a creep, like you." Scourge snorted and walked over to the stage where the guidance counselor was. After about five minutes of her laughing at his jokes, he returned with a sheet of paper.

"You're welcome." Shadow looked over the paper. He smirked.

"This is a one time thing, but Faker, you're a genius." The two walked over to her. She turned, feeling a presence behind her.

She smiled. "Hey. I'm Mina Mongoose." She held out her hand. Shadow and Scourge both shook it.

"I'm Shadow, and this is Scourge. I was assigned to be your tour guide for the next week until you've learned your way around the school." Scourge mentally groaned. He wanted Shadow to be all jittery and nervous. Talk about a let down. Then again, he hasn't really seen his friend crush on a girl before.

She nodded. "Okay. I have Chemistry first period." He nodded, taking a look at her schedule. "You guys aren't surprised that I'm taking junior level courses?"

"Nope, we know all about you." Shadow elbowed him hard in the gut.

"What my creepy, not so much of a friend, is trying to say, is that when something special happens, word tends to spread." The mongoose blushed. "You have the exact same schedule as I do. Although your locker is near my other friend Cream. I'll introduce you to her after lunch and you're sitting with us. You're not going to be alone on your first day."

"Yeah, I have Biology so- hey!" The emerald hedgehog turned to see the two walking off without him. "Now I know how people feel when they introduce two people and they start to make plans without them. Ungrateful."

End of Flashback

"Yeah they got together a month later. I so won for that." Scourge felt a vibration and brought out his phone reading the text.

"We're ready. Speed over to Shadow's." - Pinks.

"We're all still going out on Saturday right?" Scourge told Sonic that the gang would take him out for a birthday celebration on Saturday because they all had to study and were too busy today.

He nodded. "Yeah. Let's go over to Shadow's for a second. Mina said that we could borrow her Biology notes and she left them at his house."

Sonic smirked. "Race ya."

x-x-x-x

"Okay, Scourge and Sonic will be here any minute. Is everything ready?" Amy asked. Fiona and Sally had decorated the room with blue streamers and lanterns, Cream and Blaze blew up at least a hundred multicolored balloons, Amy and Rouge set up the tables with snacks and junk and decorated his cake with 18 candles. The cake was chocolate with a mint frosting and had a picture of Sonic imprinted on the top. Silver helped Tails set up the DJ equipment. Mina and Knuckles were in charge of running down to the store to get whatever was missing, at least five trips, and lastly Shadow set up the presents on the side of the room and made sure all of the guests have arrived.

"Yes ma'am, and let's not speak of our little game to Sonic and Scourge." Sally said, slightly shuddering. They had continued to play the game throughout the entire time they were working and some have confessed to hijacking a car, excluding the ice cream truck incident. Shadow took two sips for himself and Scourge, because they stole the principal's car and took it for a joy ride during junior year although they didn't get caught. Mina confessed that she made out with a rock star's manager once. It was the summer before she came to Mobius High. She went to go see a rock band in concert and had backstage passes and met Ash Mongoose. She was almost the same age as him and the band so it wasn't all bad. Rouge and Knuckles confessed that they got it on in Sally's pool. Poor girl didn't take it well.

"Gotta lose it eventually honey." Rouge said.

Amy chuckled. "What happens in Shadow's house, stays in Shadow's house." The guests that were attending were students from their school. Most they knew and some they didn't, but that made it more fun. There was a knock on the door.

"They're standing outside." Shadow said. Everyone shut up and let Shadow answer it, turning off the lights before he did. "Faker, Other Faker."

Scourge smirked. "Sup Shads. Hope you didn't miss me." They walked past him and came inside. "Where are those notes Mina left here?"

"Am I her keeper?"

Sonic rolled his eyes. "Well yeah, technically since you're one jealous boyfriend." Scourge chuckled and turned on the lights.

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONIC!" The blue blur was taken aback and fell into Shadow. Shadow threw him into Scourge. His counterpart was nice enough to at least help him up.

"No way. You guys did all of this for me?" The group nodded. He looked at the table. "Woah, sick cake!" Amy walked over and gave him a kiss.

"Happy birthday Sonikku." He wrapped an arm around her.

"Let's get this party started!" Tails exclaimed and turned on the equipment, letting a upbeat song blare through the speakers. Everyone had changed out of their outfits earlier and put on some party clothes. The girls wore party dresses while the guys changed their shirts. About an hour or two into the party, Mina came wobbling over to Fiona and Scourge, who were on the dance floor.

"Minnie, you okay?" Fiona asked.

Mina giggled. "THIS PUNCH IS AWESOME!"

Scourge held his ear. "We're standing right here Mina."

Fiona raised an eyebrow. "What punch? We didn't have any punch." Mina shrugged and wobbled away. The two walked over to Shadow who was lounging in the kitchen.

"Shadow, we got a problem."

He turned to the auburn fox. "What's wrong?"

"Someone brought alcohol and Mina is already drunk." Shadow chuckled. "This is funny?"

"I found it hilarious too. You should see her. Can barely even stand." Fiona glared at her boyfriend. She walked out of the kitchen to find their friends near the snacks table, each one with a cup of punch. She groaned, eventually pouring herself a cup.

"I was going to taste it eventually. Oh well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." She gulped down two cups and already felt herself getting dizzy. She laughed and turned to Blaze.

"Drunk?" The feline asked. She nodded.

"Oh yeah." She drank another cup and stuffed some chips into her mouth. "I'm so not going home tonight. Felix and Scar would kill me."

She laughed. "Just be happy that this house is huge."

"Crap. How does Shadow live here all alone?"

"The same way you lived alone in your old house."

"Touché."

"Oh look, there's a fight!" Amy exclaimed. They all ran over to see two random classmates drawing blood out of each other. Shadow stomped over and picked them both up by their throats and threw them out the door.

"Blood stains aren't easy to get out so unless you want me to decorate my carpet with yours, I suggest you think twice." After he stomped off, Tails resumed the music and acted as though nothing happened.

"So, how you liking the party Sonic?" Cream asked. Unlike her friends, she only had one drink so she was sober. Scourge tricked her into tricking it by telling her he'd give her $20 if she did and he ended up being broke.

"It's awesome and the cake tastes amazing!" Sonic refused to let anyone eat the part of the cake with his face on it, so Scourge threw it at his face. There was still mint icing on his black shirt.

Scourge smirked. "Show of hands, who's drunk?" Everyone except Cream and Tails raised their hands.

"Oh, we're so going to regret this in the morning." Sally said. Shadow nodded.

"Let's play Never Have I Ever again!" Knuckles said.

"Again?" Scourge asked. Sally nodded.

"We played earlier and your girlfriend is a baddie." Fiona chuckled at the drunk hybrid.

"Let's play it!" Sonic said. "Never have I ever went skinny dipping!" Rouge took a swing.

"Never have I ever sexted." Scourge and Sally took a swing.

Cream grinned. "Never have I ever grinded on a random person on the dance floor." Everyone took a shot except her.

"I feel sick." Mina said and ran outside. Shadow raced after her.

"How much do you wanna bet that Shadow will smash tonight?" The girls betted that he wouldn't and the guys betted that he would. Each of them put down a 20.

"It's not that I don't think he can, I think that he won't take advantage of Minnie in her drunken state." Blaze said.

Fiona nodded. "Yeah, he's hot as hell. If he wanted to, he could've seduced her a long time ago." Scourge gave her a hurt look and chuckled, giving him a kiss. "I said he was hot baby. I didn't mean that he was hotter than you."

"Crazy ex boyfriend alert." Rouge said. They turned to see Cody walking up to them.

"Cody? What are you doing here?" He grabbed the auburn kitsune and crushed her in a hug.

"Fi, I miss you so much. I love you and I'm so sorry for what I did to you." Fiona sighed.

"It's alright, I'm over it."

"I want you back." She let out a nervous chuckle and took a step back.

"That's not happening."

"You're friends with Sally and she was the one I cheated on you with!"

"And I forgave her! I forgave you too! It's not like she's the one asking me out!"

"So then go out with me again!"

"Cody, I can't. I'm already with Scourge and even if I wasn't, I still wouldn't." She walked away from them and went upstairs to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her makeup was smudged from the sweat that coated her body. She turned the faucet, allowing the cool water to flow and washed the makeup off of her face. She put her hair into a high ponytail.

"Fi.." She jumped and looked in the mirror to see Cody standing behind her. She tried to get to the door but he had locked and stood in front of it. "Just hear me out."

"I don't want to hear anything. I love Scourge, not you and I will always choose him over you." She sighed. "I want to finish this year of high school without any drama and your bullshit counts as drama so open the door now. You're drunk and neither of us will remember any of this." She pushed him and opened the door, running down the hall and down the stairs. When she got downstairs, she spotted Knuckles near the back door with a random girl refusing to let go of him. She exhaled and walked over to them. "Knuckles, I've been looking for you everywhere!" The girl turned to her. "Stay away from my man." Fiona growled and the girl ran.

Knuckles laughed. "I owe you big time."

She smirked. "Now let's go find the others."

x-x-x-x

"Ugh, why do people make being drunk look like it's fun?" Amy groaned. It was the morning after and she was laying on Shadow's living room floor. The gang were scattered around the room with Sally on the couch. She went crazy and started dancing on the tables last night since Geoffrey wasn't there to tame her.

"Headache!" Knuckles groaned as he sat up as well.

Fiona sat up on the table she was sleeping on, previously hugging a bowl of popcorn. She looked at her watch. "Well, we're not going to school today."

"What time is it?" Cream asked. She didn't get drunk but she ended up falling asleep after taking care of Tails.

"11:30." Sonic chuckled. He fell asleep on the floor as well, using Silver's stomach as a pillow.

"You know that the school will call Felix and tell him that you're absent?" Fiona groaned.

"I'm dead." Amy got up and walked to the kitchen as best as she could. She began to get out different ingredients and dishes.

"Making breakfast?" Scourge asked. She nodded. "Need some help?"

She chuckled. "You cook?" He walked to her.

"When you eat as much as I do, you gotta learn how to cook."

Fiona nodded. "He's actually really good. He made breakfast one day and that was the day I fell in love with him and his chocolate chip pancakes." Scourge chuckled.

Amy smirked. "Well, I was going to make pancakes so you can show me your skills." After an hour, everyone had finally awoken and the pair had made more than pancakes, with Scourge in charge of the batter and Amy in charge of the stove. Fiona and Cream got the dishes and juices ready.

"Mm, am I going to have to pay you two for your services?" Shadow came downstairs in just a pair of sweatpants. The girls all oogled at his toned body.

"Woah.." Sally said, staring at his abs. Blaze nodded. "We need to start a fan club."

"Hey, put on a shirt before they become brainwashed!" Silver said, covering Blaze's eyes. He chuckled and threw on a hoodie that was on the couch.

"Thank a lot Silver." Sally said sarcastically. Mina came downstairs dressed in a pair of tights and one of Shadow's t shirts.

Sonic smirked. "Did you smash?" Mina's face turned bright red as everyone groaned.

"Way to be blunt." Fiona said.

"Still have my v-card intact." Mina said. The girls cheered and the guys paid them.

"We're each $20 richer." Amy grinned.

Scourge rolled his eyes and gave Fiona the 20. "You could've just spread your legs and it would've been us getting paid Minnie." She threw a pillow at him. While they were eating breakfast, Blaze turned to Sonic.

"You didn't open your presents."

Sonic grinned. "You got me presents?"

Sally laughed. "What kind of a birthday is it without presents?" She got up and brought them to him. She brought out a medium sized box wrapped with gold paper and a gold bow. "This is from Geoffrey and I." He opened it and inside were a new pair of sneakers that he'd been saving up for.

Sonic smiled. "Wow, thanks Sal. I'm definitely going to take the two of you out with the money I've been saving to buy these." She chuckled and took a seat beside Knuckles. He held up another box.

"That's from Cream and I." Tails said. He opened it and inside was a new iPod.

"Now you'll stop taking mine." Cream said. Sonic chuckled.

"Thanks guys." Rouge handed him a purple box.

"From the Knucklehead and I." He opened it to reveal a new black tracksuit.

"The purple wrapping paper was her, not me." Sonic grinned at the two.

"I'm going to have you send you all thank you cards." Rouge chuckled. He picked up a white box.

"Silver and I." Blaze said. He opened it and inside was a gold watch.

"I'm assuming this is Blaze." Silver gave him an offended look.

"Why her?"

"Because you don't have taste as good as hers." Sonic chuckled. Silver pouted while Blaze grinned. He turned to Shadow. "Faker."

"Don't even try it. Your party was held here and I'm going to have to clean up all of this. That's your present so no."

Mina rolled her eyes and handed Sonic a box. "From the hothead and I."

"You didn't tell me you were buying a present."

"I took your credit card. Your money, but my time looking for it. We're even." He opened it and inside was a leather jacket. He grinned.

"You're awesome Minnie, although I don't think I can wear it near him. I might steal all the attention." Shadow rolled his eyes as everyone laughed. He picked up a box with royal blue wrapping paper.

"That's from Scourge and I." Fiona said.

"Since when? I fed him well yesterday so I'm not included in this!"

Fiona shrugged. "Alright. It's only from me then." The blue blur opened it and was greeted with a new phone and the chilidog recipe that his favorite chilidog stand uses.

"See Fi, there was nothing to worry about. I told you that he would like it. You didn't have to take all the credit though." The kitsune rolled her eyes.

"I'm assuming that Fi really did get me this gift."

"You'd assume correct. Although I risked my life to steal that recipe." Everyone chuckled. Lastly, Amy stood up and took hold of Sonic's hand and led him to a big box in the corner.

"Open it." He opened it and inside was a 50 inch flat screen TV. His jaw dropped and he turned to her.

"You know I love you right?" She chuckled as Sonic twirled her around. She gave him a kiss.

"I love you too."

"Sure and you don't love the ones that you got you presents as well." Silver muttered.
