"We're back!" Tails yelled as he hovered into Amy's home, dumping Sonic onto the couch next to Knuckles, "Hey guys, you're just in time. Dinners almost done." says Amy walking back from the kitchen, "Cool! What are we having tonight?" Sonic asks, always eager to eat, "Shadow's making pasta tonight."
"Shadow is cooking? This should be good," he remarks sarcastically. As Amy takes a seat next to Sonic, she notices his diaper bulging more than usual in the front and back, "Ah, Sonic?" she whispers into his ear, "Do you need a change?"
"Huh?" Sonic looks down, seeing his wet and messy diaper realizing he had again used it without noticing, ears bent back he blushed and covers his face. "Goddammit!" he whispered. "We'll be right back." Amy says, picking up Sonic bridal style and heads for the nursery.
"So, how did the testing go?" She asks, laying him down on the changing table that he surprisingly still fit on, Sonic was grateful for something to take his mind off the gross diaper. "Ah...it went well. Tails just asked me a bunch of questions and showed me pictures of random ink splotches."
"Oh, you mean an inkblot test?" she asks, pulling out the baby wipes, powder, and a new diaper. "Yeah, I think so. It was weird, but it was all easy to do at least...except for those 'simple' math problems he threw at me," he mumbled the last part. Amy pulled away the tapes and lifted his legs, removing the dirty diaper to begin wiping his bottom clean. "Haha, you're not the best student, are you?" she teases, "Hey, I'm no genius like Tails, but I can definitely pass a test! Besides, there's more to life than book knowledge."
"That's true, you were always more street smart than the rest of us." she finishes wiping him clean and places the new diaper under him, carefully making sure his tail poked out the hole, "I won't argue with that, but you guys each have your own strengths as well. It's what makes us such a great team and what I appreciate about you guys." He smiles as she powders him relishing its relaxing scent. She hums in agreement tugging the front making sure it's nice and snug before taping up the sides. The diapering finished, Sonic pushes himself up and thanks her. Amy smiles as she puts away the stuff and giggles slightly, "Sonic, I don't know what's gotten into you today, from how your acting and what the guys told me you've seemed to have calmed down about this whole baby thing." her giggling makes Sonic blush and he rubs his nose. "I-I-I-don't know? Guess I just accepted that I'm going to be like this for a little while until Tails figures out how to fix this." (No way was he about to tell her that he might be having a second childhood!)
"Well, I'm glad to hear that." She smiles warmly, "Come on, dinner should be ready now." she picks him up and carries him back to the living room, just in time to see Knuckles and Tails walking around to the couch with plates full of spaghetti with meatballs and garlic bread for everyone. "Wow! Shadow looks good enough to eat!" Sonic remarks as Amy sets him down on the floor. (The couch is only big enough to hold 3 people.)
"Asses rety ood oo!" (Tastes pretty good too!) Knuckles' muffles mouth already full of garlic bread. Shadow places another plate on the coffee table, shaking his head. "What would you guys like to drink?" he asks. "I'll have a soda." answered Tails, plopping down next to his brother, "Me two!" said Knuckles, "Water is fine with me." said Amy, "I'll have a soda too," said Sonic. Shadow nods, returning to the kitchen for the requested drinks.
The dinner was exceptionally tasty. Sonic thought it could easily rival Amy's cooking. Tails and Amy recounted their brief expedition that day, after which Knuckles and Sonic told them of their battle with Eggman, "You guys should have seen him! Shadow was all like Major emohog 'I'm going to beat you, you pathetic machine' then sent a chaos spear right through 15 Bee-bots!" Sonic imitated Shadow's voice, then the sound of a massive explosion, "It was so cool! And then Knuckles was all like, Wham! Bam! Yaw!" he punched into the air excitedly. "Yeah, I was so awesome!" Knuckles agreed. Amy giggled, "Was this before or after you turned back?" Sonic sipped his soda, "Before. I was hiding in the bag under a table at Meh Burger. Gotta say it was pretty cool watching you guys duke it out with old Baldy McNosehair. I can't wait to get back in there with you guys."
"Hmmm," Shadow nodded, finishing the last of his pasta. "Don't worry, Sonic; I'll have a cure for you soon enough." Tails assured munching on the garlic bread. "Yeah, don't get to worked up, Sonic. Just take it easy, for now, you could use a break from constantly fighting Eggman. Think of this as a vacation!"
"Vacation or not, I have a hard time staying still, Amy, you know that." Sonic smirked, leaning back with a full stomach and stretched, "Buuuuut, I guess...I could try and take it easy for a little while."
"Keyword 'try.'" Shadow retorted. Sonic rolled his eyes at his rival, "Well guys," Tails yawned, and got up stretching, "I think I'm gonna hit the hay. Gotta long day ahead of me tomorrow, translating those files."
"Alright, buddy, don't work yourself too hard on my account." Sonic ruffled the tufts on the fox's head. "Don't worry, I'm old enough now to know my limits, and I don't want to hear any more of your nagging either." Tails says playfully, "Good night, guys."
"Night!" Everyone replied as the two-tailed fox left his friends for the night. Since Shadow cooked dinner, Amy washed the dishes while everyone made themselves comfortable around the tv. Everyone but Shadow laughed, watching Comedy Chimps antics and jokes. As it got later in the evening, Sonic squeezed himself at the end of the couch, joining his friends at some point during the show. Getting more and more tired, he leaned next to Knuckles trying his best to stay awake. He glanced at his friends in the corner of his eye, making sure no one was watching him before popping in his pacifier, thinking it would help him stay awake. Unfortunately, it had the opposite effect. Sonic fell asleep after a few minutes sucking on the pacifier.
Knuckles felt an increased weight on his left side and noticed Sonic fast asleep sucking on the pacifier tied around his neck. Aaaaaww. Knuckles thought. Poor little guy's tuckered out. Carefully, he pulled the blue blur closer cradling him in his one arm, continuing to watch the late-night show.
