"It really hasn't." Sonic corrected him, from behind his new family. "Apologizing never hurt anyone. You're just too proud."
"Proud is quite a line coming from you, faker." Shadow stood up and teleported to the back of the room. But not before spinning the wheel one last time.
"Who did it land on?" Shadow asked, not able to see from his position.
"It's me." Sonic answered. "And I'll go truth on this one."
"I won't go easy on you. You got three options: kiss, marry, kill. Amy, Sally, and Mina."
"That's not the kind of question I want to answer!"
"So you're leaving, too?"
"No. I'll take it. Marry Sal, kiss Amy, kill Mina. I'd hate to do such a thing, but she's not exactly a hero."
"I haven't seen Mina in a while." Tails commented sadly.
"I know, buddy. You miss her. Perhaps someday we'll meet again. Don't worry; you have Zooey with you." Sonic spun again. "Okay, Cream. Truth or dare? I already know the answer."
"You're thinking dare, right? Because that would be correct."
"Yeah, and here's a good one. On a scale of one to a hundred, tell Charmy how cute he is." He slightly smirked after saying that.
"Um, Charmy's a… maybe, 93?" Cream stuttered.
"High ranking, bee boy!" Sonic teased. "Anything to say to that?"
"Call me bee boy again and see what happens."
"Okay! Maybe not, then. Looks like it's Cream's turn. Give it a spin."
And that she did. "Tails, it's you again. I'm sorry."
"And I'm not sorry! Dare."
"I'm catching on, Tails." Rouge interrupted. "You'll only take easy dares from the kids and not the adults. Don't think I'm not falling for that."
"I don't know if that's happening, but it's not cheating if it is."
Cream laid out her easy dare. "Take off all the mints you have on you."
"Aw man, you gotta be kidding!" Tails complained, but he did what was asked. He took two mint tins out of his tool belt with a pack of gum.
"Buddy, I've been trying to tell you to stop eating so many mints. You didn't listen." Sonic warned.
"I don't care, Sonic! You want one?" He offered, only to get refused.
Cream took those and set them aside. "You won't be needing these for now. Your turn."
Tails took his turn and spun Rouge.
"Truth or dare?" He asked.
"I see a little mischief in your eyes. Truth."
"Here ya go! Why do you flirt so much?"
Blaze interrupted. "May I just say that this game is much more intense now than it was when we started?"
Zooey agreed. "Ever since Sonic's fifty smacks dare, you have gotten way tenser."
"And you quit." Sonic backtalked. "Now calling you a coward. Definitely not."
"Let's just say I love Tails more than you do."
Rouge brought the game back into focus. "How could I not? Look at him." She pointed to Knuckles. "As a boy, you can't answer this, but isn't Knuckles just dreamy?"
"That's enough, Rouge." He grumbled, a little pink showing on his face.
"Gettin' shy, Knux?" Sonic said, picking on Knuckles.
"What? No!"
"Now it's my turn." Rouge spun the wheel, landing on Amy. Naturally, she took a dare.
Rouge looked carefully around the room. Her eyes fell on Shadow. "I dare you to cuddle with Shadow for ten minutes. Come on up here, bad boy."
Shadow silently insulted Rouge while he did as he was told. "Amy, I hope you're okay with this."
Amy sat beside him on the unoccupied couch and leaned against him. Shadow set the back of her head against his chest as he ran a hand through her quills, holding her close with the other. "You're good at this, Shadow! Have you been practicing?"
"Unfortunately, I have. I'm not nearly as uncomfortable as I was with Sonic."
"I wish I could have been there." Amy whispered in his ear.
Shadow whispered back. "Sorry you're stuck with me."
Silver interrupted. "Hey, raise your hand if you don't have a partner."
Vector, Espio, Charmy, Cream, Shadow, Amy, and Knuckles raised their hands. A second later, Rouge's hand went up.
"Alright, put your hand down if you haven't been mercilessly paired with someone tonight." Silver instructed.
Charmy, Cream, Shadow, and Amy put their hands down. "Get what I'm saying now?"
The only reaction he got was silence.
Rouge took out her phone to set a second timer as she spun the wheel for Amy.
"It's Tails. Truth or dare?"
"Well Amy's supposed to say that, but… dare."
"How about you give Sonic a few good smacks?"
Tails looked down at Sonic, who shook his head.
"I don't want to." Tails whined.
"Are you saying you won't?"
"How many?"
"You shouldn't ask that. Maybe twenty?"
"Okay, I'm definitely not doing that. I don't want to hurt Sonic anymore."
"You're a good little brother." Sonic said, pulling Tails in for a hug. Sonic kissed his forehead as Tails let out a happy tear or two.
"Please don't tell me the game is made of clingy couples." Espio complained.
"Knuckles and Rouge aren't clingy, and Cream isn't allowed a boyfriend, but I can't seem to keep off of Sally." Sonic explained.
"There seems to be a lot of cuddling going on." Espio continued.
