Chapter 6: Live From Station Square, It's Saturday Night!! (Guess where that came from and get my best regards if you don't have 'em already!)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!" A loud scream pierced the ears of anyone in a close range to Rouge's new house including Knux, who was on the other side of the house. He ran up the stairs and entered Rouge's bedroom with a look of worry.
"Rouge? You okay?" he asked. He saw no one in the room. He gave a suspicious look as he walked over to her closet. He was hit with a pair of red pumps that flew out of the closet. He removed one from his face and gave an aggravated sigh. "Not AGAIN."
He looked up to Rouge, who was on her knees, close to tears. "Oh Knuckles, what am I gonna do?"
"We're gonna go out without making a trip to the mall first." he boldly stated.
Rouge gave him a pleading look. "Come ON!! I just need ONE dress, ONE!!"
He sighed again and joined her in the closet. "We don't have time, Rouge. We gotta meet Sonic and Shadow in two hours." he said calmly.
"I could do it." Rouge said in a childish voice.
"We..don't..have..time." he said slowly between clenched teeth.
"Are you sure?" Rouge asked, still sounding like a child.
Knux was about to lose it. "How hard can it be to pick out a damn dress? You've got twenty of them, Rouge!"
Rouge returned to her smooth know-it-all tone. "Well, if you must know, ensemble selection takes a lot of time and smart shopping."
Knux picked up a knee high navy blue dress that was carelessly thrown on the floor. "How about this one?" he asked.
Rouge grew starry-eyed. "YOU..ARE..BRILLIANT!!" she exclaimed as she jumped on him, enclosing him in a tight hug.
"Well, I try." he said modestly.
She looked at her watch and her awe turned into insanity. "AAAAAH! WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!! GET OFF ME! YOU'RE WASTING MY DRESSING TIME!!" she yelled as she threw him out of the room.
"But I--" he tried to say before she shut the door in his face. He sighed and did a happy dance. "I still got it!" he whispered as he went to his room.
***
The sun slowly went down as Sonic stood pacing around the house. It had been two hours since him and Shadow separated to get ready for the date. It was like him to be dressed and ready in less than five minutes. He was in a waist-hugging black shirt with matching pants and shoes.
He made it to the front door for the 30th time. He became aggravated with the long wait and sighed as he leaned his back against the wall. The room went black as he slowly dozed off.
***
Steaming hot water beat at his body. Sonic opened his eyes to see he was in the shower. He sighed deeply as the water relaxed him. He was too relieved to notice that Shadow had entered the bathroom. He turned to the curtain and almost fell down when he saw Shadow peeking through the crack.
"Did I scare you?" he asked with a grin.
"Very funny." Sonic sighed. "Indeed." There was an awkward silence between them. Shadow continued after taking a deep breath. "Mind if I join you?"
Sonic laughed nervously. "Sure, why not?"
He slowly stepped in and saw Sonic's nervous look. "Someone not comfortable?" he asked.
"No, I'm fine." Sonic lied.
Shadow turned away and sighed. "Sonic, I have something to tell you."
"W-What is it?" Sonic asked. He still sounded scared, but he didn't know why.
"It can't wait any longer." He slowly turned to face Sonic. The hot water hit his back rapidly.
The fear slowly wore off as Sonic said, "Well, I'm waiting."
"Sonic, I-I--" he started.
"Just say it." Sonic said calmly.
Shadow sighed again. "I, I want you, Sonic."
Sonic gave him a confused look. How was he supposed to react? What did he mean? The questions faded as Shadow stroked his cheek.
"I want you so bad." Shadow repeated.
Sonic had no idea what to say. Before he knew it, he was pinned against the wall by a deep kiss. He still felt Shadow's hand on his cheek as he gave in. The other hand now lingered at his chest. He moaned softly under Shadow's rapture.
He felt Shadow's lips release from his own and started exploring his chest aggressively. His hands gripped the bathroom wall as Shadow went lower. His eyes closed as he felt hot breaths on his lower body. His moans grew louder as Shadow enclosed his lips over his-
***
"Whoa! Someone needs to get over themselves!"
Sonic opened his eyes to see Shadow looking at him strangely. "What, can't a guy get some sleep?"
"Not while I'm around." he replied.
"What took you so long?" Sonic asked impatiently.
"What, you no like?" Shadow walked backward so Sonic could see what he was talking about. He was in a white dress shirt over a white tank top with a pair of slightly baggy pair of white pants and shoes.
"You think we went too far?" Sonic asked curiously.
Shadow looked back and forth from himself to Sonic. "What exactly are you referring to?"
Sonic gave him a confused look. "What?"
"Nothing. I think we did it again! Let's go out there and make a scene!" Shadow said in a pep talk-like voice.
"The bigger, the better!" Sonic exclaimed as they both went out the door, forgetting about the "dream."
***
It was 6:30 when Knuckles and Rouge finally got out of the house. Rouge was wearing the "brilliant" blue dress with black stilettos. Her big, dangling earrings gleamed in the moonlight. A silver necklace hung at her neck with a blue gem in the middle of it. Knux wore a red shirt under a large black trench coat with black pants and shoes. They started their walk towards the restaurant, holding hands on the way.
"Finally!" Knux exclaimed as took a breath of fresh air.
"Before we even get there, we need to go over a few ground rules." Rouge said.
"I've got one question. Why?" he asked, giving her a confused.
"Absolutely NO gay jokes!" she continued.
"What makes you think I'd do that?" he asked.
"And don't question them constantly!" she went on.
"Come ON, Rouge-
"And there'll be absolutely NO talks about you-know-what."
"What?" Knux asked again. "Exactly." Rouge replied. She went on until she saw the restaurant.
"Great, we're here." Knux said sarcastically.
Rouge led Knux to the bench and they both sat down. "And another thing-
Knux kinda tuned her out after the last three words and sighed. He silently begged Sonic and Shadow to get here before she talks a hole through his head.
***
Sonic and Shadow were about five minutes away from the restaurant now. There was a pretty long silence before then. Sonic finally broke the silence.
"So what took you so damn long to dress?" he asked.
"What took YOU so damn long to wake up?" Shadow imitated him.
"I asked you first."
"Well if you must know, I went a little overboard on shopping before we went to the club. It was hard to figure out which outfit satisfied the ultimate." he replied.
"The only thing that makes you the ultimate is taking so damn long upstairs!" Sonic joked.
"No, my turn to laugh. What were you dreaming about?" Shadow asked suspiciously.
"I'd rather not tell." Sonic replied while crossing his arms.
"It was about me, wasn't it?" Shadow grinned.
"Nah, it was about Rouge and Amy." Sonic lied.
"That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard! Just admit it, you're dreaming about me again!" Shadow bragged.
"NEVER!!" Sonic yelled as he sped off toward the restaurant.
"Give in, faker!" Shadow yelled back before running after him.
Sonic stopped when he saw Knux covering his ears while Rouge was giving him a speech on the bench.
"Hey guys! Hope I'm not interrupting anything!" he greeted in a cheery voice. "No, you're not!" Knux exclaimed as he enclosed Sonic in a hug. "Thanks, man!"
"Uh." Sonic uttered in his grip.
Shadow appeared behind him. "Knux, make up ya damn mind! Who's it gonna be: Sonic or Rouge?" he asked with an annoyed look.
"Don't worry, you can take him." Knux said releasing Sonic. "It's just nice to see people again."
"That's just touching." Shadow said sarcastically. "Now can we go in? I'm starving!"
"Of course!" Rouge replied, standing up. They all went inside.
A golden chandelier lighted the room, showing many fancy black tables and chairs. A big empty space existed in between the circle of tables, indicating the dance floor.
"I don't think there can be any dirty dancing attempted here, guys." Rouge said.
"You don't know that for sure." Sonic replied.
"Who knows?" Knux stopped in his tracks. The same echidna who hit on him the previous night was the employee at the podium. His badge read "Sky" on his uniform.
Sky didn't seem phased by Knux. "Last name?" he asked in a normal tone.
"Knuckles. Knuckles the Echidna." he answered in a slightly shaky voice.
Sky looked at the list and easily found his name. "Ah! Party of four?"
"Yes, please." Knux said quickly.
"Hey! Have I seen you somewhere? I feel like I know you somehow." Sky said in a puzzling tone.
"Nope, ya haven't seen me! You must be mistaking me for someone else! If you'll excuse me, I have friends to socialize with!"
"O-kay." Sky said strangely. "Well, right this way, sir." He led them to the nearest table closest to the dance floor. Shadow and Sonic sat by each other while Knux and Rouge did the same on the other side.
Sky handed them their menus and put on a small smile. "Your waiter will be with you soon." Before walking away, he blew a kiss at Knux and mouthed, "Call me."
Shadow and Sonic laughed their asses off while Rouge looked Sky strangely. There was a long silence as the three of them looked at Knux.
Knux put on a fake grin. "Heh. Waiters these days; so desperate for attention!"
"Yeah." Rouge agreed. "Anyway, you guys haven't lived til you come here. This place is amazing!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah! We come here all the time, mostly because Rouge is too busy eating to talk!" Knux joked.
Rouge gave him a quick smile before playfully smacking him in the head, which hurt a lot to him.
Shadow snickered, but hid his look of amusement behind his menu. "So, what's good here?"
"Hey! Where are the chili dogs on this piece of shit?!" Sonic asked loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear. He saw Rouge's death glare through the menu he was hiding behind.
"Well, THAT'S the biggest scene you've made all day." Shadow commented.
"For starters, I think you guys should share a bowl of spaghetti." Knux suggested after everyone went back to his or her conversations. Rouge gave him a glare.
"What? It'd be just like that movie." he continued.
"That'd be sweet if you didn't end up making out with garlic breath." Rouge commented, remembering the vague memory.
"I'll take one!" Sonic exclaimed.
"If you think I'm sharing that with you, you have serious issues." Shadow said.
"What? I'll cut up the noodles if it makes ya happy!"
"Whatever." Shadow replied as Sky came back.
"Your waiter seems to have come down with the flu, so I will be your waiter for this evening." he said.
"Oh joy." Knux said sarcastically.
"Please hold your excitement. Now, what would this red hunk of hotness want?"
Knux's eyes widened as Rouge, Shadow, and Sonic burst out in laughter. "Um, I'll take the chicken."
Sky continued to carry on his flirting. "Wouldn't you like something more." He then moved close to Knux's ear. ".exotic?" he whispered in his ear.
"I don't wanna overdo myself, thanks." Knux said.
"I live to please." he commented, emphasizing the word "please." The rest ordered soon afterwards. After he was done taking orders, he scribbled something on a napkin and handed it to Knux before walking away.
Before Knux could even examine it, he gave his friends and girlfriend a death glare before they could start laughing again.
"When do you think he'll ever get the message?" Rouge asked.
"Right after I kill him." Knux answered sarcastically.
"It's cute, though." Rouge complimented.
A few minutes later, they all received glasses of water. Surprisingly, Knux's glass was the only one that contained a lemon section. Rouge and the hedgehog couple had to sip their water to keep from laughing.
"So, when's your birthday, Shadow?" Rouge asked, changing the subject.
Shadow thought for a moment while sipping his water. "Um, I think it's Monday."
Sonic's eyes widened. "You THINK it's Monday? Are you telling me that you've never celebrated a birthday before?"
"Well, it didn't seem to matter on the space colony. Technically, we weren't on earth, so we didn't catch on to many customs."
"Weird." Knux commented.
"So, what would you want to do for your birthday?" Rouge asked.
"I never thought about it." Shadow replied quickly.
Before anyone could say anything, their food was brought to them. No one said a word for the next twenty minutes. Shadow excused himself to the bathroom soon afterward.
As soon as he was out of sight, Rouge spoke. "So, what are we gonna do for Shad's birthday?"
"Ya heard the guy! He said that he never thought about it." Sonic replied.
"For all we know, he could be lying. Maybe he doesn't believe in birthdays." Knux added.
"Yeah, he barely knew what day his was on!" Sonic chimed in.
"Well, I think we should do something special for him, no matter what. It's the least he could get here. Who's with me?" She extended her hand towards the middle of the table, waiting for an answer.
Sonic and Knux gave each other matching looks. They sighed and put their hands in. "We're in." they chorused.
As they all shook on it, Sonic saw Shadow coming back. "He's coming back! Act natural." On cue, Rouge and Sonic burst out in laughter. Shadow raised a brow at them.
"What'd I miss?" he asked as he sat down.
"Oh, Sky just made another pass at Knux." Rouge lied in between laughs.
"Seems as if he likes it, if he hasn't blown him off already." Shadow commented. Sonic and Rouge burst out in laughter for real this time.
"C'mon Rouge, let's dance before the mofo comes back." Knux said while dragging Rouge to the dance floor.
"How romantic." Rouge said sarcastically to Shadow and Sonic as she was dragged away.
A sweet song began to play through the speakers. Shadow and Sonic looked at each other strangely.
"Do we dare?" Sonic asked.
"We dare." Shadow replied, standing up and extending his hand towards Sonic's. He gladly took it and they made their way toward the dance floor.
Sonic wrapped his arms around Shadow's neck and Shadow's hands grazed Sonic's waist and pulled him closer.
The sweet melody relaxed them a great deal. They looked deeply into each other's eyes and slow danced as they heard the beautiful song.
"When I feel.what I feel, sometimes it's hard to tell you so/You may not be in the mood to learn what you think you know/There are times when I find.you wanna keep yourself from me/When I don't have the strength, I'm just a mirror of what I see/But at your best, you are love/You're a positive motivating force within my life/Should you ever feel the need to wonder why, let me know, let me know/Let me know../When you feel.. what you feel/Oh, how hard for me to understand/So many things have taken place before this love affair began/But if you feel.like I feel, confusion can give way to doubt/For there are times when I fell short of what I say, what I say I'm all about, all about/ But at your best, you are love/You're a positive motivating force within my life/Should you ever feel the need to wonder why, let me know, let me know/Tell me what it is/There's no need to make believe (make believe, no need to make believe)/Look beyond your world/Try and find a place for me (try and find, find a place for me)..
Sonic's innocent eyes could've made him melt if he wasn't holding him. Right then, he started to greatly appreciate who was in front of him.
Shadow's eyes seemed to burn into his, the glow capturing his interest. He made sure he was going to do something special for his birthday, no matter how he felt.

Knux picked up a knee high navy blue dress that was carelessly thrown on the floor. "How about this one?" he asked.
Rouge grew starry-eyed. "YOU..ARE..BRILLIANT!!" she exclaimed as she jumped on him, enclosing him in a tight hug.
"Well, I try." he said modestly.
She looked at her watch and her awe turned into insanity. "AAAAAH! WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!! GET OFF ME! YOU'RE WASTING MY DRESSING TIME!!" she yelled as she threw him out of the room.

Steaming hot water beat at his body. Sonic opened his eyes to see he was in the shower. He sighed deeply as the water relaxed him. He was too relieved to notice that Shadow had entered the bathroom. He turned to the curtain and almost fell down when he saw Shadow peeking through the crack.

Sonic gave him a confused look. "What?"
"Nothing. I think we did it again! Let's go out there and make a scene!" Shadow said in a pep talk-like voice.
"The bigger, the better!" Sonic exclaimed as they both went out the door, forgetting about the "dream."

It was 6:30 when Knuckles and Rouge finally got out of the house. Rouge was wearing the "brilliant" blue dress with black stilettos. Her big, dangling earrings gleamed in the moonlight. A silver necklace hung at her neck with a blue gem in the middle of it. Knux wore a red shirt under a large black trench coat with black pants and shoes. They started their walk towards the restaurant, holding hands on the way.

"Seems as if he likes it, if he hasn't blown him off already." Shadow commented. Sonic and Rouge burst out in laughter for real this time.
"C'mon Rouge, let's dance before the mofo comes back." Knux said while dragging Rouge to the dance floor.
"How romantic." Rouge said sarcastically to Shadow and Sonic as she was dragged away.
A sweet song began to play through the speakers. Shadow and Sonic looked at each other strangely.
"Do we dare?" Sonic asked.
"We dare." Shadow replied, standing up and extending his hand towards Sonic's. He gladly took it and they made their way toward the dance floor.
Sonic wrapped his arms around Shadow's neck and Shadow's hands grazed Sonic's waist and pulled him closer.
The sweet melody relaxed them a great deal. They looked deeply into each other's eyes and slow danced as they heard the beautiful song.
"When I feel.what I feel, sometimes it's hard to tell you so/You may not be in the mood to learn what you think you know/There are times when I find.you wanna keep yourself from me/When I don't have the strength, I'm just a mirror of what I see/But at your best, you are love/You're a positive motivating force within my life/Should you ever feel the need to wonder why, let me know, let me know/Let me know../When you feel.. what you feel/Oh, how hard for me to understand/So many things have taken place before this love affair began/But if you feel.like I feel, confusion can give way to doubt/For there are times when I fell short of what I say, what I say I'm all about, all about/ But at your best, you are love/You're a positive motivating force within my life/Should you ever feel the need to wonder why, let me know, let me know/Tell me what it is/There's no need to make believe (make believe, no need to make believe)/Look beyond your world/Try and find a place for me (try and find, find a place for me)..
Sonic's innocent eyes could've made him melt if he wasn't holding him. Right then, he started to greatly appreciate who was in front of him.
Shadow's eyes seemed to burn into his, the glow capturing his interest. He made sure he was going to do something special for his birthday, no matter how he felt.
