Chapter Four: Shopping Date and Double Date

March 14

The next morning, Amy woke up in a cheerful mood. Even though last night was her first date with Shadow, she was glad how well it turned out. Even when they both found out that they knew Sonic and the fact that she had dated him and was the one that he hooked up with at the wedding. As she got out of bed, she went over to her book shelf to get her diary. Even though Rouge and Blaze were coming over to talk about the date, she just had to get all of her emotions out on paper.

Dear diary,

So last night was my first date with Shadow, and it was really great! I have absolutely no complaints about anything. He was the perfect gentleman from the start of the date to the end. After the date, I'm certain that I have feelings for him.

First, he came to my house on time to pick me up. And he looked super handsome. He walked me to his car and opened the door for me and helped me inside. When he got inside, he reached to the back seat and gave me a thank you/belated birthday gift. How sweet of him! I honestly thought he would of done the typical thing and give me flowers, but he went the extra mile.

So as he drove to the restaurant, I just couldn't help but look at him. Just looking at him made me feel some type of way.

When we got the the restaurant, I was afraid that when we sat at our table, it would be awkward. I've always hated first dates. You never know what to talk about or what to say without sounding stupid. But thankfully, we were talking just fine. Well, except when I found he and Sonic are friends and when I told him we use to date...and I unfortunately hooked up with him not too long ago. I didn't want to give off the impression that I was easy to get into bed. I just happened to be drunk enough to do what I did.

Fortunately, Shadow was upset by it at all! He said that he knew that Sonic could be an asshole and that he was my past. Hopefully that means that Shadow is my future? Ugh I really hope so! I can already tell that Shadow is way better than Sonic. I wish I would of met him three years ago before I started dating Sonic. I would of been happy in love and possibly with babies by now!

Well I write more about my life later on. The girls are almost here!

Sincerely,

Amy

After writing down her thoughts, she placed her diary back on her shelf. She got of her bed and went over to her shower. She did her regular routine. She washed her hair, shaved her legs, underarms, and especially down below. After her shower, she brushed her teeth and got dressed. Since the girls were just coming over, she just wore a white tank top with black sweat pants. She decided to just let her hair air dry since it curls up when its wet. Plus, she was too lazy to blow dry her long hair then flat iron it.

She went downstairs to make coffee for her and the girls. As she was going to get the mugs from the cabnit, she started to think about Shadow. She was day dreaming about his smile, his laugh, his eyes, and eventually those thoughts turned dirty. She was snapped out of her dirty day dream when she heard the doorbell ring. She then looked down, and once again her hand was down where it should not have been.

'Holy shit Amy! Get a hold of yourself!'

After washing her hands, she ran to the front door. She opened it to see her two best friends looking just as bummy as her. Rouge was wearing a blue sweat shirt with black soft short shorts, while Blaze wore v-cut pink shirt and leggings. Both of their hair was up in messy buns.

"Morning Pinky," said the bat as her and Blaze walked in, "you look really flustered. Are you okay?"

Amy's red cheeks became more red as she blushed from embarrassment. She led the girls to the living where they sat on the counches. "Well just before you came, I was in the kitchen getting the coffee ready. But then I started to think about Shadow again and then suddenly my hand was down my pants."

Both the girls started to giggle as Blaze spoke up.

"Seems like theirs a lot of sexual tension between the two of you to be doing this the second time." she said as she looked at the hedgehog with a smirk. Amy sank into her seat as she covered her eyes with her hands.

"I feel like such a sex freak."

"Maybe Rouge and I should get you a toy to help with your dirty thoughts." Blaze said as she smirked, earning a glare from her pink friend.

"Well never mind that," said Rouge as she got her mug of coffee, "how was the date last night?"

Amy's heart skipped a beat as she started to smile from ear to ear. "It was really nice! He took me to a nice restaurant at the beach. He even got me a gift!" she exclaimed she sighed dreamily. She felt as if she was back in high school and she was crushing on the most popular guy in school.

"What did he get you?" asked Blaze as she leaned in with interest. Rouge also leaned in as both of the girls looked at Amy with wide excited eyes. Amy ran upstairs to get the gift. She came back down and showed the girls the earrings and matching necklace.

"It's beautiful!" said Blaze as she grabbed and examined the jewelry. "Why did he get this for you?"

Rouge smirked as she looked from the gift to Amy. "Somebody clearly wants you as much as you want him."

Amy shook her head and cleared her thoart as she stuck her nose up in the air. "What makes you think I want him?" She didn't want to the girls to think she was that into the ebony hedgehog, but she was just lying to herself at this point.

"Really?" asked Rouge with heavy sarcasm. "You first saw him last week at the open house, then you touched yourself with the thought of him while you were in the shower. And before Blaze and I even got here, you were just beginning to rub one in again. And besides, that night at the club, the sexual tension was so thick that I thought I should just give you both some condoms and lube and watch a free show."

As Rouge explained her points, Blaze was laughing as Amy's mouth was agaped. If anybody knew about sex related things, it was Rouge. When she was with Scourge, she was basically getting laid four days out of the week. She was pretty sure she knew what she was talking about.

"I hate to admit this," said Amy as she sighed with defeat, "but your right. I do feel the heavy sexual tension between us. When ever we stop talking about something, we end up just looking into each others eyes with smirks on our faces. You should of seen us when he dropped me home." She blushed with a smile as she thought back to how she teased him.

"Did you guys kiss? Make out?" asked Blaze with much excitement. She was really happy to see her friend moving on from Sonic. She already seemed more happy even though her and Shadow weren't official.

"I kissed him in the corner of his mouth," answered the pink hedgehog as she pointed to the corner of her mouth, "I really wanted to kiss him but I wanted to tease him. You know, make him beg for it." She giggled as the girls giggled along with her. She stopped when she remembered she hasn't told the girls what her and Shadow found out last night.

"Oh, before I forget," she said as she caught both of the girls attention, "Shadow is friends with Sonic..."

Both girls gasped dramatically, as if their favorite store in the mall was closed down. Blaze had a look of confusion while Rouge had a look of frustration. "Just when I thought he was out of the picture..." muttered the bat as she rubbed her temples.

Blaze placed a hand on Rouge's shoulder to try and calm her down. "How do they know each other?"

Amy shrugged her shoulders innocently. "I forgot to ask. I was too shocked to ask anything about him." She still felt uncomfortable knowing that her potential new boyfriend was friends with her ex boyfriend. She made a mental note to ask Shadow on their next date exactly how he met the blue idiot. As she thought about her next date, she remembered her and Shadow were planning on getting Rouge and his friend Knuckles together.

"Rougeee." she sang as she looked to her friend with a devilish smirk, "I have something to tell you."

Rouge knew when Amy started to sing with her questionable smirk, it was something big. "Shoot pinky."

"Well while Shadow and I were talking about how we both know Sonic, he showed me a picture of another good friend of his. He's very handsome and very built. Turns out, his single. Your single. So we both thought of having a double date and bring you two along! Is that cool with you?"

Rouge thought over what her friend was telling her. She did want to get over the time she had with Scourge and move on. She also thought about 'the vow' that the girls made at the wedding. She didn't necessarily have to get married by the end of the year, but she did want to be happy in love with somebody.

"Do you have a picture of him?"

Amy shook her head as she grinned. "Even if I had a picture of him I wouldn't show you what he looks like."

The bat rolled her eyes as she huffed with annoyance. She didn't want to go on a date with a guy who probably wasn't her type. Amy rubbed her arm as she giggled. She was use to Rouge getting upset when things didn't go her way.

"Just trust me on this. He's really cute! And he looks just about the same height as Shadow. Like about 5'9 or 6'1."

Rouge's ears perked with interest. She had a strict rule about not dating guys that were shorter than her. She constantly wears high heels, and she didn't want to be towering over some guy.

"Fine I'll go." she gave in as she rolled her eyes with a small smile. She wanted to see for herself if this guy really was cute and all that.

"So Blaze," Amy said as she looked at her feline friend, "what the deal with you and Silver?"

The cat blushed as she giggled. "Well I told him about my 'blind date' yesterday. I told him that I needed help getting an outfit for it so he said that he'll take me shopping to find one."

Because Blaze and Silver have been friends for so long, it was normal for them to go out together to the mall or to the movies. But this was part of Blaze's plan to show Silver that she wanted to be more than just friends.

"So where exactly will this fake date be held?" asked Rouge as she got up to get more coffee.

"The beach," answered Blaze, "Silver loves going to beach, so it makes sense to tell him my true feeling at a place he loves."

Amy and Rouge cheered as they shared a group hug with Blaze. They both wanted her to finally be with Silver. Silver deserved a woman that he both independent and fun to be with.

"So pinky, when is this double date happening?" asked Rouge as she fixed her hair.

"Tomorrow," she answered with a grin, "I'm going to call Shadow later on to see what he has planned."

For the rest of the day, the girls gossiped about their love interests and what they should and how they should dress. Amy was glad that their vow to happiness was finally happening. They were all beautiful woman who deserved men that treated them with love and respect. Not just a piece of meat that you could treat any way you want.

After watching movie after movie on netflix, Rouge and Blaze left to go home. It was now about eight o'clock at night when Amy was lying in her bed watching tv. She remembered that she needed to call Shadow to see what was the plan for tomorrow. She felt a bit nervous about calling the ebony hedgehog. His voice alone made her weak at the knees.

She pushed away the nerves and dialed his number. The phone about three times before Shadow answered the phone. She heard barking on the other end of the line and the sound of Shadow trying to quiet down his dog.

"Hey Rose." said Shadow with his smooth deep voice.

Amy immediately blushed as she heard his voice on the phone. It sounded even more seductive than in person. "Hi Shadow." she greeted back as she smiled and twirled her hair.

"What's up?"

"I just wanted to tell you that I talked to Rouge about our plan for the double date tomorrow. She's very interested." she said as she giggled. She heard Shadow chuckle as he spoke.

"That's great. I spoke to Knuckles earlier about it and he was excited. So where do want to go for the date?"

Amy thought about exactly where to go. "Hmmm." She thought about her choices when she figured out a place to go. "What about cheesecake factory? They have really good food there."

"Sounds like a date." he said. She could tell by his tone of voice that he was smirking. She once again started to have dirty thoughts about him like she was earlier. She quickly pushed the dirty but satisfying thoughts away as she listened to Shadow. "So how was your day, beautiful?"

She sighed with content by his flirtatious antics. He doesn't even have to be in person for her to blush and giggle. "It was great. I had Rouge and Blaze come by and we just talked and watched some movies. What about you, handsome?"

She started to go along with his flirty attitude, earning a chuckle out of him. "Pretty great. Knuckles and I went to the gym for a good three hours. That's when I told him about the date. He was so happy that he started to lift his weights twice as fast."

When Shadow said that he and Knuckles were at the gym, Amy's dirty mind went back to work. She imagined how muscular and strong his ebony body looked while he was shirtless and lifting heavy weights. She thought about the sweat sliding down from his pecs, to his abs, and eventually down below. Before a moan made it out of her mouth, she quickly snapped back to reality. "T-That's cool," she stammered as she fanned herself, "I hope you didn't push yourself too hard."

"I made sure not to hurt myself that way I get to see your beautiful face tomorrow."

"Awww," she giggled as her smile widen and her blush appeared, "you're such a flirt, you know that?"

Shadow chuckled seductively as he answered back. "I'm just being honest."

The two hedgehogs continued their flirtatious banter for several more minutes before they decided to get some sleep. Both Shadow and Amy went to sleep with happy thoughts and smiles on their faces.

The next morning, Blaze woke up bright and early. Today her and Silver would be going to the mall to shop for an outfit for her 'date'. Her idea behind this plan of hers was to get to spend more time with him and to get him to notice her more. She wants to drop hints to him through out the day that she could not only be his friend, but also his lover.

After taking a shower and brushing her teeth, she got dressed. She wore a form fitting floral summer dress that had slits that started mid thigh on both sides. With that, she wore white sandals. She straightened her hair and had her bangs swoop to the side of her face. Her makeup consisted of shimmery white eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, and pink lip gloss. She sprayed on strawberry scented perfume and checked herself out one last time in the mirror.

She suddenly heard the doorbell ring, and she walked downstairs to answer it. As expected, Silver stood on the other side of the door. He wore a lime green tank top, tan cargo shorts, and white vans. He looked simple, yet very cute. "Hey Blaze, you look great!" he said as he hugged her. The feline gladly returned the hugged as she smiled. "So do you!" she said as she giggled.

She grabbed her purse and locked the door behind her. Silver lead her to his car, his grey Camero, and opened the door for her. He closed her door for her and sat in the drivers seat. "So which mall do you want to go to?"

"Let's go to Aventura mall. It's the biggest mall that's closest to us. I don't want you wasting gas by driving all the way to Dolphin mall."

Silver smiled as he turned on the car, making it roar with life. "Off to Aventura!"

After waking up a little after noon and doing her usual hygiene, Amy packed what she was wearing for the double date tonight into a duffle bag, along with her make up. Rouge asked for her to get ready at her house so she could help her choose an outfit.

She ate a small meal before she took her bag and went to her car. She dialed Rouge's number as she backed out of her driveway.

"Hello?"

"Hey girl, I'm on my way over."

"Good! I'm having the hardest time trying to find a outfit."

She heard Rouge mutter curse words and the sound of shoes and things being thrown around. Amy giggled as she continued her drive to her friends condo. "Just calm down, I'll be there in about five minutes."

Both girls hanged up the phone as Amy sped past the many slow drivers. Amy's car was a red Lexus IS 250 F sport. Fortunately for her, she turned the dail near the arm rest, making the car go into sport mood. When this happens, the dashboard turns from blue to red. She sped by multiple cars and bikes before she made it Rouge's condo. Thankfully there was no cops out on the road, because she would have definitely gotten a ticket.

She parked her car and took the elevator to the twenty floor to Rouge's condo. She knocked on the door and waited for her to open it. Soon enough, Rouge opened the door and pulled Amy inside. Rouge's Condo wasn't too big or too small. A few steps after walking inside, the kitchen is on your left, which looks over the living room. She had a small dining table for four people on the side of the room. She also had a balcony that had a nice view of the city. The condo had her room, of course, and a guest room.

Rouge led the pink hedgehog into her bedroom, which looked like a tornado past through. The bed was covered in dresses and skirts and other pieces of clothing. She wasn't lying when she said she was having a hard time.

"So what exactly do you want to wear? A dress or maybe a cute blouse and skirt?" asked Amy as she tried to help her friend.

"I want to look hot but I don't want to look too over dressed." said Rouge as she sat on her chair and sighed.

Amy went through the clothing on the bed. She would pick one up, look at it for a few seconds, then throw it behind her as she continued her search for the perfect outfit. Just when Rouge thought she would have to wear a dress she didn't want to wear, Amy pulled out the perfect outfit.

"Tada!" she exclaimed as she showed the bat the chosen outfit. The outfit she chose was light blue high waisted skinny jeans and a maroon colored crop tank top.

"That's perf!" the bat exclaimed as she took the outfit and began to get dressed. Amy also got dressed. She wore a cute skater dress which ended two inches above the knees. The top of it was black and the bottom was white with red roses. With the outfit, she wore white strapped heels.

Rouge finished getting dressed in her outfit. The crop top ended just an inch above her belly button. The outfit showed off a good amount of her tone and curvy body. To complete the outfit, she wore black stilettos.

"So about this guy," said Rouge as she started to apply her makeup, "are you sure he's my type?"

Amy nodded her head with a smile. "I've never lied to you. This guy is totally right for you! He's tall, muscular, and there's two things you both have in common."

Rouge raised a eyebrow as she turned and faced her pink friend. "And what is that?"

"Well," Amy giggled a bit, "you're both stubborn. Shadow said he's just like you." She giggled some more as Rouge playfully rolled her eyes. "And you both have tattoos."

Rouge only has one tattoo. Right above her tan flower (basically right above her thong), she had a pair of cherries tattooed with the words 'eat me' written below.

"Where are he's tattoos?" the bat asked with curiosity.

"His entire left arm has tattoos. It those tribal designs. From his shoulder, all the way to his wrist."

Rouge smirked as she listened to her date's description. She loved it when guys were muscular with tattoos. It really turned her on.

"Since I can't see a picture of him, can I at least know his name?"

Amy grinned as she answered her friends request. "His name is Knuckles."

Rouge grinned along with Amy. "He better be hot." she said as she combed her hair.

"Trust me, he is."

"And what about Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome? Does he have tattoos?"

The pink hedgehog blushed furiously as she grinned. "No. But he does have a piercing."

The ivory bat turned her head towards her companion as her smirk widen. "Where?! Is it," she pointed her finger down, "down there?"

"Nooo," answered Amy as she laughed, "it's his tongue."

"Let's hope you get to experience that tongue of his soon." Rouge said as she winked. The girls spent the rest of their time getting dressed to make sure they both looked perfect.

Shadow was watching tv in his new home with Knuckles. They were both inside the living room watching a football game. Shadow's siberian husky, Luna, was laid out cross the floor as she rested her hair on top of her chewy toy. They didn't have to get dressed early like the girls since they already know what to wear and it takes them five minutes.

"So about this girl," said Knuckles, "what's her name?"

Shadow, the same as Amy, told Knuckles the same about Rouge. Even if he had a photo of Rouge, he wouldn't show him. "Her name's Rouge." he answered simply. Shadow told Knuckles about Rouge, and how attractive she is. He had to admit, the bat was very pretty, but Amy was beautiful. All of his interest was on the pink hedgehog. He also had to admit that he was going through the same struggle Amy was going through.

Through out the day, he would catch himself thinking about her. From the night at the club, from the day in her office, on the date, and even when she told him she has a belly ring. He would imagine what her body looked like underneath those appealing outfits she would wear. And just like Amy, he would have to snap back to reality when he noticed his hand busy jerking it down below. He hoped that tonight, she wouldn't give him a nose bleed.

Blaze and Silver went from store to store. She found the right outfit, but she needed to buy a bikini now. Well, she didn't need to, she just wanted to flaunt her body to Silver. Blaze dragged him over the Victoria's Secret, instantly making the hedgehog blush. It's not that he hasn't seen her in a bikini before, but he knew that anything from VS can add volume to your assets.

"Hmmm," the feline hummed as she looked through the bikinis, "which one of these do you like more?" The bikini in her left hand was yellow and the one her her right hand was leopard print. Silver looked between the two choices as he stammered. They both looked scandalous, but sexy. Before he could he even answer, Blaze spoke up. "I'll just try them both on!" she exclaimed as she pulled him along to the dressing rooms.

Silver sat on the pink comfy couch as he waited for Blaze to come out in the first bikini choice. As he was sitting there, his leg began to shake as the nerves slowly started to kick in. He noticed lately that the feline as been more forward with him. And even more touchy. His thoughts were interrupted when he hear the door to the dressing room open. "What do you think?"

Silver looked up and his mouth dropped open. Blaze tried on the yellow bikini first. The top really pushed up her size C breast, making them look extra perky. The bottom fitted her ass nicely. She spun around as she looked at her crush with excitement in her eyes and a wide smile. "Y-Y-You look great!" he answered as he rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled nervously.

Blaze caught on to his stuttering and grinned as she ran her fingers through her hair. "Hmmm. I'll try on the other one just to see what it looks like. I'll be back." she spun around and swayed her hips as she walked back into her dressing room. Silver sighed as he rubbed his hand down her face. He's never seen Blaze look that sexy in all the years he's known her. He looked down and saw her feet from inside the dressing room. He saw her drop the bikini top and bottom to the floor, and blushed even more.

Five minutes later, Blaze stepped out of the dressing room wearing the leopard print bikini. If Silver thought the first bikini was revealing, then he really thought wrong. Just like the first bikini, the top pushed up her breasts. But they were so pushed up that it looked like her purple breast would spill out of the top. The bottoms looked as if they were a size smaller and went up between her butt cheeks. She posed in front of the hedgehog and then spun around, slightly shaking her round bottom as her tail swayed from side to side. "What do you think about this one?"

Silver's muzzle turned red as he eyed her up and down. His face felt so hot that he thought he was going to have a nose bleed. "You look," he moved his hands around as he eyed her up once more, "outstanding."

Blaze giggled as she turned around to go back inside the dressing room. "I'll buy this one." Her tail swayed under Silver's muzzle, causing him to once again blush.

It was now six o'clock in the evening when Amy and Rouge were getting their purses and making their way to the elevator. Shadow had texted Amy ten minutes ago saying that he and Knuckles were on their way to Cheesecake Factory to save them a table. After a few seconds, the pair reached the first floor and walked over to Amy's car.

"Are you excited?" asked the pink hedgehog as she pushed the start button to the car. Rouge fixed her hair and the mirror as she giggled a bit.

"Just a little," she answered, "I really want to see what this mystery date of mine looks like."

"You'll know shortly." replied Amy as she grinned and drove to their destination.

xXxXxXx

Inside the restaurant, Shadow and Knuckles were seated at a booth. They haven't ordered anything yet, out of respect for the girls, and just stuck with sipping on water. Both men looked relaxed and good looking in their attire. Shadow wore white t-shirt, a grey and black flannel shirt that was left open and the sleeves rolled up, dark jeans and black van.

Knuckles wore a simple light green v-cut shirt, which showed of his muscular arms, khaki pants, and tan boat shoes. They were both talking to kill time before the girls showed up.

"I can't wait to see my date." said Knuckles as he rubbed his hands together. Shadow shook his head in amusement as he chuckled. "How long has it been since you've been with somebody?"

Knuckles looked back as he thought back in his head. "I would say about six months." He sighed with frustration as he slouched in his seat.

"I'm shocked you haven't talked to any girls at all. They always come running over to you."

Knuckles chuckled a bit as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Man, when ever I meet a girl and things get to that point," he pointed down to his pants, "they back out! They take a look at and say something like 'what about a blow job or a hand job?'" The muscular echinda's obviously has a big package. Most girls look forward to see that in a man, but they back away when they see that Knuckles has too big of a package.

Shadow put a hand over his mouth as he tried to hold in his laughter. "Wow man," he chuckled, "it's like a blessing and a curse. It's like you need a glass slipper." The ebony hedgehog laughed at his own 'Cinderella' reference as his red friend rolled his eyes in amusement.

Suddenly, Shadow's laughing calmed down as he looked in front of the restaurant when he Amy and Rouge. He and the pink hedgehog made eye contact and instantly started to blush. Amy took Rouge's hand and the two walked over to the nudged Knuckles, motioning him to stand up and greet the girls.

"Hi Shadow." Amy greeted flirtatiously as she kissed his cheek. Shadow smirked as a tint of pink appeared on his muzzle. "Hello gorgeous." he took her hand in his and kissed the back of it, causing her to giggle. Shadow decided to go ahead and do the introductions. "Amy this is my friend Knuckles," they two hugged each other hello, "and Knuckles, this here is Rouge."

When Knuckles made eye contact with the bat, his eyes widen. He immediately checked her out from head to toe, and definitely liking what he was seeing. Rouge was taken back by how incredibly good looking the man before her looked. He was tall, very muscular, and had a killer smile. Knuckles stepped forward and hugged and kissed the side of her face as a flirty way of saying hello. "Hello Rouge, you look great." he said as he grinned.

Rouge really liked how his big arms wrapped around her as he kissed her cheek. She returned to peck on the cheek as she smirked. "You look great to, Knuckles." She said his name seductively as she looked into his violet eyes.

There was only one word going through the bat and echidna's mind as they looked at each other.

'Perfect!'

Authors note: chapter four done! This chapter turned out to be longer than expected, so the double date and the Slivaze scenes will continue in the next chapter. If any more of you have any advice/comments, please leave a review!

By the way, I made a little reference from 'Magic Mike XXL' between Knuckles and Shadow. I saw the movie this weekend, and I loved every minute of it! XD

I hoped you enjoyed this chapter! :)
