"It's Tails' turn anyway." Knuckles said, hurrying up the game.
Tails spun the wheel. "Alright! We're down to the last five." It landed on Cream.
"Let me guess, Cream. It's another dare?"
"Sure is!"
"Okay. I'm running out of good dares, so hang on." Tails sat pensively for a few seconds, then decided. "This house is full of jewels. I dare you to leave with something you didn't buy."
"Are you asking her to steal?" Rouge reprimanded, annoyed.
"I'll make sure she gives it back."
"I promise I won't take it, Miss Rouge!"
"Okay, perhaps I'll let you off with this one. Good luck."
Tails laughed. "Shouldn't be wishing a thief good luck."
Cream spun the wheel to see what poor soul would take the next challenge. And that poor soul was Knuckles.
"Ugh, fine. Truth." Knuckles decided reluctantly.
"Are you dating Miss Rouge?"
"No. What made you think that?"
"Well, you seem to love her."
Knuckles ignored her prompt completely, laughing nervously as he spun the wheel.
Consistent with previous rounds, he landed on Rouge. "Rouge, you know what to do."
"Truth."
"Are you trying to lower my guard so you can take the Master Emerald?"
"Not really. I would like the emerald, but I wouldn't use you to get it. You'd resist."
"Well that's a lame reason to say no, but still a reason."
"Aren't you the detective, Knuckie?" Rouge laughed as she spun Cream's name.
"Another dare?" Sonic predicted.
"Nah, truth."
"If your mom let you, would you date Charmy? If no, why not?" Rouge inquired.
"Yeah! Charmy's so nice and sweet, and he's kinda cute too. I like him."
"Isn't that sweet? I love it!" Rouge cheered.
"I'm sure you do." Sonic instigated.
"Calm down, Mister Sonic. It's okay." Cream said. She spun the wheel and landed on Amy. "Amy, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Could you and Mister Shadow, um…" Cream's voice trailed off as she looked at the ground.
"Surely you don't expect us to kiss!" Shadow roared.
"Keep it together, Shadow." Amy commanded. "Do you want me to?"
"Absolutely not. I can't get attached to people."
Amy turned to face Cream. "I would have, but he's not okay with it, so it's a no from me. I'm out. When you have a noncompliant partner, it's not easy."
"Oh, come on, Shadow. You're gonna let her get out because you're too edgy?" Rouge taunted.
"Ugh. Your stupidity knows no bounds." He groaned.
"I'll be nice. Since both of you are out, you can stop cuddling now."
Amy and Shadow looked at each other.
"But he's holding me and what he's doing with my quills feels so good!" Amy protested.
"I said you can, not are forced to. Why don't you continue, Shadow?" Rouge suggested.
