Authors note: Hey everybody! It's been a while since I last posted a chapter. I took a short break to celebrate my birthday (on Feb. 11! I'm 20 now!) and I just needed some time to correctly plan things out for the following chapters. I was going to go ahead and post two chapters, but it was taking longer than I expected to try and squeeze in two chapters at the same time. I didn't want to keep you all waiting!

By the way, do you guys think I should make a separate Tumblr account for my fanfics? I thinking about it the other day, but I thought I should hear opioins from you guys. Let me know!

Enjoy! :)

Chapter Twenty Two: Vacation!

May 31

Dear Diary,

Ever since Shadow has been back home, things have been amazing for us. The whole week with out him being here has strengthen our relationship. In fact, when he took me out for dinner the day he came back, he finally told me he loved me. I knew that deep down he did, but to finally hear those words was such an amazing feeling. It was so amazing for the both of us that both of our hormones went sky high. When Shadow took me back home, he was super eager to shower me with his love, if you catch my drift. Unfortunately, Mother Nature was still visiting me and played as a major cock block for Shadow. Thankfully, he understood and even stayed to spend the night with me.

I can definitely get used to waking up in Shadow's arms. For someone who always looks so intimidating, he looks so cute and peaceful when he's asleep. Things have been this way for the last two weeks. Shadow and I would go out on a date every other night, then we would spend the night at each others house. That was the part of the date I always looked forward to. Being able to snuggle up to his body. But we haven't had sex yet, just in case you were wondering. Of course, some naughty things involving his fingers went down, but it never went past that. Not yet at least!

Things have been going well for everybody else also. Especially Sonic and Sally, so it seems. Recently, she decided to have a dinner party to celebrate her and Sonic's wedding, which is basically right around the corner. The dinner was held at Fiona's house. Excuse me, her mansion. Fiona thought it would be a good idea for her to host the dinner party, since the wedding would be taking place at her home anyway. I have to say, it is generous of her to do that for Sally. (Friendship goals, am I right?)

Although, the dinner was kinda awkward for two reasons.

One. The gang and I still think that Sally isn't being truthful about what she's doing to Sonic. She's coming off as this perfect wife-to-be, but I still have my suspicions about her.

Two. It's even more awkward for Rouge since the dinner is being held at the home of her ex Sugar Daddy. Plus, her and Knuckles were unfortunately seated right across from Fiona and Scrouge. I felt so bad for her. That sleaze ball sat through the whole dinner practically undressing her with his eyes. And Fiona was there beside him, glaring at Rouge with so much hate. I get that she hates Rouge for having sex with her husband pretty much everyday, but from what I hear, she's no saint either.

Thankfully, Knuckles didn't let Fiona and Scrouge's antics piss him off. I know he can be a bigger hothead than Rouge, but he managed to keep her calm before she jumped across the table to attack Fiona.

The whole gang was at the dinner, including Sonic's mother, his siblings, and even Sally's parents. Her parents were a bit stuck up and practically gave off the 'I'm better than you' vibe, so now I understand why Sally is the was she is. Besides the awkward tension, the dinner was pretty great. At least we enjoyed free food.

But of course, good things always come crashing down.

Last week, Sally started to complain that she wasn't feeling well. She complained that her head was always hurting, she always felt like she wanted to puke, and she felt dizzy when she would stand for too long. I was praying to every God in exsistance for her not to be pregnant, which thankfully she wasn't. Sonic took her to get checked up and the doctor told her it was nothing serious. He concluded that she was just probably feeling stressed with the wedding coming up and all.

When more days passed by, and she still felt the same, she told Sonic to go on the trip to California without her, which I think is insane. This is suppose to be a couple's vacation! Not a couple's vacation plus Sonic!

Sonic was a upset for a bit about it. But Sally persuaded him to go without her. I guess she's right. His plane ticket and hotel room was already paid for. I guess I shouldn't be too concerned. Sonic always finds a way to have fun even when he's by himself. But I'll have to keep an eye on him just in case he has too much fun.

Tomorrow is the first day of our vacation and I'm super excited! Being able to spend the entire week with Shadow and my friends is just what I need to finally relax. I told Shadow to don't even try and think about his sticky situation with Raven. It may sound rude, but he knew what I meant. I don't want him thinking about this and driving himself crazy when he should be using his vacation time to have fun.

Sincerely,

Amy

Amy quickly put her diary back on her book shelf when she heard Shadow's foot steps coming closer to her room. The couple had enjoyed a nice dinner date earlier and came back to her house to rest up for tomorrow. When she got home, Amy went straight to her room and triple checked that she had everything she needed for the trip. She made sure she had enough outfits and that she had all off her makeup products.

When Shadow entered the bedroom, he removed his shirt, leaving him in a white tank top, and made himself comfortable in Amy's bed. He buried his face in a pillow and sighed with content. Amy smiled as she laid down and snuggled up to his warm muscular body.

"Are you excited for tomorrow?" she asked as she rubbed his back.

"Very," he mumbled back tiredly. "Remind me to thank your mom again for taking care of Luna."

"I will." Her hand left his back and went up to rub his quills. "How do you think Sonic is going to handle this trip without Sally?"

Shadow scuffed and rolled over on his back, dragging Amy to lay on his chest. "He'll be fine. He went out clubbing a few times without her knowing with the guys and I so I'm sure he can handle this. Besides, I think this week away from Sally will be good for him."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Without Sally being around to judge him, he can be himself and do whatever he wants. Almost anything."

Amy nodded her and shrugged. "I guess your right." She looked over at the clock on the nightstand and realized that it was after midnight. "We better get some sleep. We don't want to miss the plane, now do we?"

Shadow chuckled and leaned to kiss the pink hedgehog.

"Good night, Rose."

"Good night, Shadow."

Blaze was doing some last minute packing while Silver was in the bathroom brushing his teeth. She had all her outfits packed away neatly, making sure she had enough room for her shoes and other accessories. She pulled open her drawer and took out the lingerie she had bought when she went shopping with Rouge. She smiled with excitement as she imagined how Silver would react when he sees her in it. Just then, the door to the bathroom opened and the feline quickly stuffed the lingerie inside her luggage.

"Got everything you need?" asked Silver as he laid on the bed.

"Uhh yeah!" she answered quickly. She was glad he didn't see the surprise she had for him. "Everything is packed and ready to go." She put her hair in a messy bun and crawled in her bed and laid on top of her boyfriend. "I wonder what Cream has in store for us."

"What do you mean? She has a surprise for you guys?"

Blaze shrugged her shoulder. "I'm not sure. I guess it's something she wanted to show us in person." She quietly yawned and stretched her flexible feline body with her tail going straight up in the air. "Whatever it is, I'm really excited to see it. Now let's get some sleep."

Silver wrapped his arms around her and snuggled his face into her neck. "I'm way ahead of you."

xXxXxXx

Rouge decided to spend the night at Knuckles' house. She already had her things packed and had an outfit picked out for tomorrow morning. She was currently in the bathroom combing her medium length hair. She was very excited to get this vacation started. She was especially excited to get Knuckles all alone to herself. She already knew how to surprise him with her skimpy lingerie she bought just for him.

When Rouge walked out of the bathroom, she saw her boyfriend shirtless as he zipped up his luggage. She smirked as she looked at how toned his back was, and smirked even more when he turned around to see his chiseled body.

"Will I be seeing you shirtless more since we're on vacation?" she asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Knuckles smirked and placed his hands on her shapely hips. "As long as I get to see more of you."

"Oh you'll be seeing a lot more." Rouge sauntered over to the large bed and laid her self down on her back. She grinned at him as she beckend him over with her finger. Knuckles crawled up on the bed and laid on top of the seductive bat as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

Knuckles left wet kisses from her jaw line, to her neck, and down to her chest. He unbuttoned her pajama top the lower he went down. Rouge giggled as she ran her fingers through his dreads. "Knuckie, we have to wake up early."

"That's not stopping me from seeing what I want to see," he replied as he opened her shirt, greedily looking down at her large breast. He leaned down and immedately took her left breast into his mouth.

Rouge softly moaned at the feeling of his warm and wet mouth on her skin. Instead of stopping him, she let him continue his sweet torture.

xXxXxXx

Sonic and Sally were snuggled in the bed together as they watched tv. Since Sonic already his things packed, he spent his time caring for Sally. He got her medicine, made her a bowl of soup, and made sure that she was warm in the bed. He was still a bit upset about her not being able to go with him on the couple's trip. He wanted to be able to spend some time with her and take her out sight seeing and a bunch of other fun things that he had in mind, But he understood that she just wasn't feeling well.

"Is there something wrong Sonic?" asked Sally as she looked up to him.

Sonic shrugged his shoulders. "Just a little down you won't be with me." He nuzzled his head on top of hers and pulled her closer to his chest. "Are you sure you're going to be okay with out me here? I don't have to go. I can just stay here and make sure you get better."

Sally shook her head and smiled. "No, it's okay. I don't want you to miss out on all the fun. You'll be able to see Tails again and hang out with the guys. I promise I'll be fine here by myself."

"Are you absolutely sure? I can have my mom or my sister come by if you need anything."

Sally giggled as she placed her hand on her fiance's cheek. "Babe, it's fine. I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself."

Sonic sighed and smiled as he settled down to her touch. "Just gotta make sure."

"Stop you're worrying and go to sleep. You'll have much more fun without me there." Sonic went to say something but Sally quickly leaned in and kissed him. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Monday morning came quickly to every bodies pleasure. One by one, the couples met up at the airport, ready to start their vacation. The first couple to be there was Silver and Blaze, followed by Knuckles and Rouge.

"I forgot how long airport security can be," said Rouge as she sat in a seat beside the purple feline.

"With all the crazy stuff happening, I'm not surprised." As Blaze looked around, she spotted three familiar faces in the distance. "I see Amy and the guys. I guess Sonic was serious when he said that Sally wasn't going to be coming with us."

"Do you really think Sally is sick?" asked Silver. "She had the energy to throw a fancy dinner and now all of a sudden she's sick."

Knuckles shrugged his shoulders as he took a seat next to Rouge. "Don't worry about it. At least Sonic will be acting like himself with out her around."

Before Silver could say anything back, the three hedgehogs had reached them. Shadow grumpily took a seat next to Knuckles. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a tongue ring, and stuck out his tongue to put the piece of jewelry back on. Everybody was giving him a funny look while Amy and Sonic were trying to hold in the laughter.

"Umm.." hinted Rouge as she glanced at her pink friend.

"Shadow kept making the metal detector go off so he was had to take out his tongue ring," explained Amy as she giggled.

"More like he was forced to," said Sonic with a grin. "They said is he didn't comply he would be taken to the back for further inspection. I don't think he wants that. Right Shads?"

Shadow just rolled his eyes as he focused on finding the hole to put the ring through. After about an hour of waiting and discussing plans, the gang were finally able to board the plane.

"Now boarding first class passengers."

The girls squealed as they picked up their purses and walked as fast as they could in their tall heels to get to the plane. They guys were right behind them, although they took their sweet time. Once they were inside the plane, the gang realized that they had the entire first class section to themselves. They all took their seats and made themselves comfortable.

"This is the life," said Rouge as she leaned back in her seat. She sat next to the window while Knuckles sat on her left. Behind them was Amy and Shadow. On the right side of the plane was Sonic, and behind him was Silver and Blaze.

"How long is the flight?" asked Silver.

Knuckles looked at his watch and shrugged. "About six hours. Maybe five is if the pilot takes a different route."

Silver groaned and pouted as she leaned his head on Blaze's shoulder, who just giggled and patted his head.

"It's not that bad," the feline said with a giggled. "We are traveling from the other side of the country anyway."

When the plane was locked up, the flight attendants walked out with trays of smalls glasses of champagne. Sonic's grinned and happily took a glass from the tray.

"Let's make a toast to the best vacation that we will ever have!" He raised his glass in the air along with everybody else. "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!"

"...Los Angeles, Sonic," Shadow said in his monotone voice. "We're going to Los Angeles."

"Same difference," the blue hedgehog said with a shrug of his shoulder. They all cheered and chugged down their drink. "Let's get lit!"

Five hours later...

"Sonic, sit down!"

"S-Shuttt up, I'm fine!"

The past four hours were going by fine. That is until Sonic started to get bored. In the past five hours, Silver and Blaze had fallen asleep, Knuckles and Shadow were watching a movie, and Amy and Rouge were looking a magazines. That was when Sonic started to order drink after drink. He figured, why not? Since they were in first class, everything on the menu was free.

After five glasses beer and three glasses of other hard liquor, Sonic's drunken state gained attention from his friends. He stood up from his seat and walked over to each of his friends to pester them with his drunken behavior.

"We're not even there yet and he's already drunk," said Knuckles as he looked at Sonic. The blue hedgehog was leaning against the wall with a lazy smile on his face.

"Ayee, you know, I have seen every single one of you naked," Sonic slurred his words as he spoke. He looked over at Amy and chuckled. "Some more than others." Amy groaned shook her head, where as Shadow just rolled his eyes and looked out the window. He knew Sonic was way past drunk, so he wasn't so upset.

Silver awkwardly laughed and motioned for Sonic to take a seat. "Okay buddy, maybe you should sit down before you fall."

"Nooo no no I'm serious!" He hiccuped as he strolled over and leaned on his seat. "I saw Silver naked cause in college he lost a bet and had to run around the whole campus naked!" Silver blushed as he covered his face with his hands.

"And you, Ms. Hello Kitty," Sonic said as he leaned towards her, "I saw you naked when your sorority went skinny dipping at the beach."

Blaze blushed even harder than Silver and awkwardly giggled. Sonic stumbled over to the other side of the plane and leaned on the wall. "Let's see. Who's my next victim?" Sonic glanced between the remaining four 'victims' before his green eyes landed on Knuckles. He smirked and chuckled to himself. "There's a reason I call him 'Big Red'. I saw old Knuckle head in the nude whenever we went to the locker rooms in college." He hiccuped again as he stumbled to keep his balance. "Every guy was jealous cause it looked like Knuckles was growing a third leg."

Knuckles nearly choked on his drink when Sonic spoke. He coughed a few times as Rouge looked over at him with a raised eyebrow and a smirk. "Haha, he's just joking," Knuckles said nervously. "Right, Sonic?" His eyes twitched as he looked up at the blue hedgehog.

"Sure thing, Big Red." He looked over at Rouge and mouthed 'it's huge' with a grin. "Moving on. I saw bat woman naked when ever she got really drunk at parties. She would flash everybody her boobs or her ass," he hiccuped once again. "Which ever she wanted to show first."

Unlike the others, Rouge smiled as Sonic drunkenly stated when he saw the ivory bat bare it all. Clearly she was confident with herself.

"Alrighty, two left." Sonic looked over at Shadow and Amy. "Well I use to bang you all the time so there's really one left." Everybody chuckled as Shadow just looked up at the blue hedgehog with a blank stare. "I saw doom and gloom when he was stepping out of the shower, and I accidentally stepped in to use the bathroom. I have to be honest though, Shadow has a nice body. Like if I was gay, which I'm ninety eighty percent sure I'm not, I would tap that."

"What about the other two percent?" asked Silver with a curious look.

"I got eyes! I can look!"

The gang laughed as Sonic chuckled. Amy blushed deeply as she turned to look at her boyfriend, who had a grin as he chuckled a bit. "I'm serious!" exclaimed Sonic as he laughed. "His butt looks firm as fuck." He gestured to squeezing a butt with his hands. "His abs looks like they've been made by gods or something. Don't even get me started on his-"

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your pilot speaking. Please take your seats and buckle up. We will be landing in LAX in ten minutes."

"That means sit down, Sonic," Amy said in a motherly tone. The blue hedgehog stumbled back over to his seat and attempted to buckle his seat belt. Blaze saw that he clearly needed help and buckled his seat belt for him.

When the plane landed, the gang got off the plane and made their way inside LAX. They walked through the airport to baggage claim, all while making sure Sonic stayed close to them so he wouldn't wander off somewhere. While they were waiting to get their things, Blaze received a call from Cream. The rabbit told her that there will be a private bus waiting for them outside with the feline's name on it.

After everybody has gotten their luggage, and after getting Sonic a bottle of water with some aspirins, they made their way outside. It was late in the afternoon when the group arrived in California, so the weather was pretty great.

"Alright guys, look for any signs with Blaze's name," said Silver as he looked around the crowded place.

"Easier said than done," grumbled Sonic.

Rouge sighed as she flew up into the air by a few inches. Clearly she was already annoyed with the amount of people that surrounded them. After about a few seconds, she spotted somebody holding a sign with her feline friends name on it. "Hey guys, I found the bus!" she announced as she pointed towards the bus.

The crew walked over to the bus and greeted their driver. Once their luggage was stored away, the walked in the bus to take their seats. Silver whistled as he looked at the interior of the bus. "This is nice. I wonder how much Tails and Cream spent on this."

"With all that money that Tails makes, I'm sure this was nothing to him," said Sonic as he lounged in the comfortable seats.

Once everybody was set and ready to go, the driver drove off and away from LAX. Through out the drive, the group of friends the sights they saw. There was palm trees everywhere, expensive cars sped past them on the road, not to the mention they amount of tourist that filled the sidewalks. Thirty minutes have passed by when they were finally in beautiful Beverly Hills. The driver drove beautiful mansions and parks. The girls all gasped when they reached the famous shopping district known as Rodeo Drive.

"Okay girls, at some point this week we have to come here with Cream," announced Amy as she kept her eyes glued to the window. Shadow chuckled at his girlfriends behavior as he also took in all the sights.

Blaze nodded her head in agreement. "I already have stores in mind that I want to go to!"

Ten minutes later, the driver parked in front of an extravagant and grand hotel. The hotel looked like it had about twenty floors, with beautiful statues surrounding the building. Everybody but Rouge gazed at the hotel with shock and amazement.

"Babe, this is the hotel you booked our rooms at?!" asked her surprised boyfriend.

The ivory bat giggled with a grin. "I told you guys not to worry about the hotel, didn't I? I'm sure I didn't disappoint you all."

"You sure didn't," Shadow said as he continued to gaze around the hotel.

Once the driver parked the bus, the crew got off the bus along with their luggage. Before they even began to walk inside the hotel, employees came rushing out to grab their things for them. Rouge turned an gave her friends a grin, as a way to tell them how amazing the service was already.

"Hey Cream!...Yeah, we've all unpacked and settled into our rooms...Cool! Just call me when you and Tails are in the lobby. Bye!"

Amy placed her phone on the bathroom sink and went back to fixing up her hair. Two hours have passed since the gang had arrived at the hotel. During that time, they all decided to get cleaned up and change their outfits before they saw Cream and Tails. Amy was currently dressed in a white halter top, and short red skirt, and black sandals.

When Amy was done with her hair, she walked out of the bathroom to see Shadow laid back on the bed watching tv. Amy cleared her thoart to get his attention, and smiled when he turned to her.

"Do you like my outfit?" she asked as she twirled around to show off her attire.

The ebony hedgehog smirked as he grab her by the hand and pulled her into his lap. "I do," he said as he buried his face into her neck. "I really like this skirt. It shows off those legs that drive me crazy." He slowly rubbed his hands up and down her thighs. Amy sighed with content as he kissed her neck and squeezed her thighs.

The pink hedgehog giggled as she pulled away slowly from her boyfriends grasp. "Don't even try to make a move on me now," she said as she smirked. "We have all week to make some moves."

Shadow smirked as he chuckled. "You're right about that." He pulled her back down to his lap and slowly leaned in for a kiss. The kiss was slow and passionate, as their tongues twirled around each other. Suddenly Amy's phone vibrated on the table beside the bed and reluctantly pulled away. She reached for her and opened up the text message that she received.

"Cream is here!" she announced with a gasp. "You'll like her. She's super nice. And I'm sure you'll get along with her husband, Tails. Come on, let's go!"

As Amy and Shadow left the room, she saw the rest of the gang walking out of their rooms. They all walked down the hall to the elevators to go down to the main lobby. As the elevator went down, they were able to see just how large the upscale hotel was through the glass walls. Seconds later, the gang walked out of the elevator and walked into the lobby.

"Do any of you see them?" asked Silver as he and Sonic looked around the large room.

Sonic reached into his pocket to pull out his phone. "Maybe I should just call-"

"CREAM!"

The guys jumped from surprise as the girls spotted their friend. As the rabbit and her fox husband approached the group, the girls gasped with shock as they took in the sight of Cream. The beautiful young rabbit was dressed in a tight fitted orange dress with white sandals and her blonde hair was up in a stylish bun. What caught the girls attention the most was that Cream was showing off a cute, small baby bump.

"OH MY GOD!"

"YOU'RE PREGNANT!"

The girls quickly ran over and embraced the rabbit in a warm hug and carefully rubbed her pregnant belly.

"Was this the surprise you were talking about?!" asked Blaze as she placed her hands on her friends belly.

Cream nodded her head and smiled from ear to ear. "Yep! I wanted to tell you all in person instead of over the phone,"

"Congrats Creamy!" Sonic exclaimed as he hugged the rabbit. He turned to Tails and smirked. "I take it the honeymoon went well." The fox chuckled and gave his long time friend a hug, followed by Silver.

After introducing Tails and Cream to Shadow and Knuckles, the group decided to split up. Sonic took the guys out side of the hotel where the large pool and outdoor bar was located. Amy thought it was a good idea for her and the girls to go back to her room to catch up with the rabbit, and especially ask her about her pregnancy.

'What a way to start a vacation!'
