weekdays..But it's worth it, right? I'm not gonna go on about my hectic
schedule *snickers*, but anywayz, THIS IS THE CHAPTA EVERYONE'S BEEN
WAITING FOR!!!
Audience: \(^o^)/ PAAAAAAAARRRRRRRTTTTTTTAAAAAAAYYYYY!
Me: Uh-huh! I've gotten a few requests for it, and I'll try to fulfill them as much as possible! After all, I AM writing from scratch, like I always have! So whatever happens is going to be just as surprising to me as it is to you! Like I've said earlier, I don't own the char's (characters), but I DO own Sky (if I use 'im). BRING ON DA ROMANCIN'!! Uh, I mean THE PARTY!! ^_^;
Chapter 8: Party! What more do ya want?
Shadow sighed as Amy casually tossed him another shopping bag. It had only been ten minutes, and he already had five different store bags in his hands.
"You alright back there?" Amy asked, not looking behind her.
"Uh-huh." he groaned as he gripped the bags tightly.
Amy gave him a worried look as she faced him. He looked pretty exhausted, being "the ultimate lifeform" and all. She gave a small, apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, Shads. I'll make it up to you! How about we stop at the food court?"
Shadow gave a relaxed sigh as he heard those words. "Sure, that'll be- " He stopped as he looked back at Amy, who was obviously not paying attention to him. "Helloooooo?" he called while waving a few bags in front of her face.
The only thing that was calling to Amy was the words "BIG SALE!!" at the nearest department store. The numerous displays of the latest clothing made her eyes go wide.
Shadow's eyes did the same as he finally found out what she was looking at. He knew that look, and he NEVER wanted to see it again. "Oh God." he said in a shaky tone. "NO, Amy." he warned.
Amy's voice grew almost robot-like as she ignored him. "Must-shop-- .."
Shadow grew incredibly annoyed and dropped the bags he was holding. He wasn't gonna stand this any longer. "Oh HELL no!" he said before getting away from her as fast and far as possible.
He found a shady corner by the restroom, leaned against the wall, and sighed. Sweat poured from his quills because of the constant mall lights shining on him while being dragged by the pink devil herself. He took out his new cell phone (the only thing he got a chance to buy) and activated the first number on speed dial.
***
Back at Sonic's house, Knux, Rouge, and Sonic (obviously) were gathered in the living room. Sonic was in his favorite blue chair as Knux and Rouge were chilling on the couch. Knux had a pretty angry look on his face while Rouge rolled her eyes at his ignorance.
"C'MON Sonic! Pick something!" Knux yelled in annoyance as Sonic continued to ponder in deep thought.
"Oh stop it! Let him think!" Rouge defended. "Maybe another hour will do him some good."
"Yeah! This is a pretty hard decision to make, ya know." Sonic added.
"HOW MUCH OF A DAMN IDIOT CAN YOU BE?!" Knux exploded. He quickly rose to his feet as he grew angrier. "IF YA CAN'T PICK BETWEEN CONFETTI AND BALLOONS, THEN WE'LL JUST DO BOTH!!" Knux continued shouting.
Rouge rolled her eyes and pulled him back on the couch. "Calm the hell down, knucklehead! Is it okay if we do both, Sonic?"
"I was just thinking that!" Sonic exclaimed in awe.
Knux was about to go over there and beat the living shit out of Sonic, but he held his tension back. "You better be glad I got laid last night." he threatened.
Sonic's eyes widened at this comment. "WHOA! More than I wanted to know!" Sonic yelled.
"Oh, everybody knows! Get used to it!" Knux shot back, before feeling the wrath of Rouge's hand against the back of his head.
Sonic stifled a laugh as he heard the phone rang. He took the portable in the kitchen as he picked it up. "Hello?"
"Get me outta here," a deep voice said over the phone.
"Well hey Shad! Having fun?" Sonic greeted.
"What do you think? I'm hiding from the bitch now!" Shadow replied.
"That bad, huh?" Sonic sighed.
"So, are you gonna help me or not?" Shadow pried.
"Um, I'm kinda busy right now." Sonic answered.
"Doing WHAT?!" Shadow asked aggravated.
"Well, Knux and Rouge came over with.uh." he paused as he heard yelling in the living room. "..Relationship problems! Yeah, that's it!"
"Wait, how are YOU gonna help THEM?" Shadow asked testily.
Sonic gave a fake laugh. "Well, what can I say? I'm their last resort." He heard a long, depressed sigh over the phone. He started to feel a little bad for Shadow. "Don't worry, you'll get through." he assured him.
"I don't know if I can stand this any longer. Can't you just-" Shadow began.
"Look babe, just do it for me, okay? You won't regret it, I promise. Alright?" Sonic asked worriedly.
Shadow gave a small smile as he pictured Sonic over the phone. "Well, I guess if you really want me to." he said in a shy tone.
"Thanks." Sonic said before covering his ears as Rouge's scream pierced the house. "Guess I'll be breaking up another fight. I better go before my house is destroyed. Have fun for me! Bye!"
***
"Bye." Shadow said quietly as he saw Amy pass by. His body was now pressed tightly against the wall, hoping to camouflage himself. "Be the wall." he thought to himself. (A/N: Sound familiar, TT-X?)
Amy felt a familiar presence as she passed by the restrooms with her now seven bags in her hands. She stepped back and saw Shadow glued to the wall with his eyes closed. She grabbed his hands and dragged him out of the shadows. "There you are! There's no time for sleeping! We still have more shopping to do!" Amy exclaimed.
"Dammit." Shadow said to himself. "It worked for Knuckles."
***
Sonic laughed a little after hanging up the phone before hearing another scream from Rouge in the living room. He rushed in after the screaming subsided and saw the most unexpected thing in the world. Rouge and Knux were making out like no tomorrow on his couch.
"What the hell? I thought you two were fighting!" Sonic exclaimed.
Knux broke their passionate kiss and sat up. "Hey, we make up pretty damn fast." he commented before trying to make the moves on her again.
"We'll save that for later." Rouge said while elbowing Knux out of the way. "So, who was that?"
"Let's just say that someone's had enough torture for the day." Sonic replied.
Rouge sighed. "That girl NEVER gets tired of shopping! Hell, I get TIRED of shopping with her! I can't take it sometimes!"
"It's about time 'the ultimate' felt some torture for once." Knux mocked.
Rouge was about to smack Knux, but she gained enough control to hold her hand back. "You better be glad I'm horny right now." she threatened.
Sonic ignored their comments, as he started worrying about Shadow. "Well, I feel sorry for him." he sighed. "How much longer is it gonna take?"
"Well, I can make the reservation." Knux offered.
"And I can invite the guests. We can all meet there by 7:00 with presents, alright?" Rouge asked.
"Agreed." Knux and Sonic chorused.
"I'll inform Tails." Rouge added as she went to get the phone.
"Wait, where is Tails anyway?" Sonic asked.
"Don't worry, he's in the scam too." Knux assured him. "Well, we better go get our stuff. You comin'?"
"Right behind ya!" Sonic exclaimed as he followed Knux out the door, leaving Rouge alone with the phone.
She walked into the living room while in a deep conversation with one of the potential guests, spotting a small folded piece of paper on the couch. When she unfolded it, a sly smile spread across her lips.
***
Meanwhile, Shadow was still dealing with mall torture. He now had twelve bags shoved into his hands and all he could see was the bright white lights on the ceiling. He heard Amy's cell phone ring in whatever direction she was in.
"Hello?" she started before putting her hand over the receiver. "You can take a break now, Shad." she said to him.
As he carelessly threw the bags over his shoulders (not caring where they went), a relieved expression took over his features.
Amy hung up soon after he was relaxed. "Well, I think that's enough shopping for today. Let's head home, 'kay?"
"FINALLY!!" he shouted.
"What was that?" Amy asked with a hint of anger in her tone.
"I mean, I'm right behind ya, as always!" Shadow corrected as they exited the hellhole.
***
Our favorite young fox entered a huge electronics store near his living quarters. Everything from car radios to 72'' TV's covered the place. He approached the small counter calmly with a mischievous look on his face. A middle-aged gray rabbit stood absent-mindedly behind the counter, watching one of their great TV's.
"Mmmmmm..." he drooled before seeing Tails. "Oh, hi! What can I do for ya today, Tails?"
"I need the-" His voice went down to a whisper as he leaned towards the rabbit's ear ..
***
Night started to fall as Amy and Shadow were heading home in her pink Cadillac. Shadow's eyes darted curiously across this strange section of the city as he sat in the backseat. "Um, are you sure you're going the right way?" Shadow asked.
"I've stalked Sonic over 1,000 times before you came into the picture. I think I know all the shortcuts by now." she answered in an annoyed tone.
Shadow nodded as he continued looking out the window. He had a weird feeling in the back of his mind about this.
A few minutes passed and Amy picked up her cell phone as she stopped at a red light. She put on her best-distressed voice as she called Sonic. "Hey, Sonic? I think I'm lost."
"What the HELL?" Shadow jumped in.
Amy turned to him with an annoyed look on her face. "Hey, I'm TALKING HERE!!" she yelled. She continued her act as she began talking again. Shadow saw her confused look through her mirror. "Sonic?" she called over the phone. She waited for an answer and hung up the phone with an aggravated sigh. "I guess I'll hafta go ask for directions."
"YOU JUST WENT TO HIS HOUSE EARLIER!!" Shadow yelled in her ear. He knew she wasn't right in the head, but this was ridiculous. He sighed as his caring side took over him. "Are you okay, Amy?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I get a little crazy after shopping. Here, maybe this close-by hotel will help us." she said as she parked into the nearest space.
Shadow opened his door as she unlocked them. It was a freezing night and all he bothered to wear was a pair of black pants and his traditional gliding shoes. He reluctantly followed Amy inside the hotel as he mumbled "Idiot." repeatedly under his breath.
They arrived inside the hotel and Amy just whizzed by the check-in counter without a second thought, waving some kind of card to the person behind it. They walked down many hallways and Shadow grew incredibly tired.
"Why are we going all the way down here to get directions?" Shadow asked.
"Don't worry about it!" Amy assured him as she stopped at a door at the end of the hallway. Her voice grew a little louder as she mumbled something he couldn't understand.
He sighed as he entered the dark room. "What the-" Before he could say anything, the lights came on and many different colors filled his eyesight.
"SURPRIIIIIIIIIISE!!" everyone shouted. Shadow stood there, slightly dumbfounded for a moment as applause filled the room. Sonic zipped over to him, wrapping him in a hug.
"All that torture for nothin', huh?" Sonic teased.
"God, I feel like such an idiot!" Shadow laughed. "I'm gonna KILL you!" he teased back.
"Happy Birthday, babe!" Sonic said before letting go and giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.
Shadow rolled his eyes when he saw Knux and Rouge come towards him. "You were all in this?"
"Of course, but this was all Sonic's idea!" Knux replied.
"Well I-" Shadow started before looking around the room and spotting a large cake in a corner. "Wait, is that a triple layer black cherry chocolate cake?" he asked while eyeing it with hunger. (A/N: That was for you, 'OJ! ^_^) Before anyone could answer, he was already over there helping himself to a slice.
They all laughed as he went through a second and third slice in minutes. Rouge smiled at Sonic and kissed him on the cheek. "Damn, this was probably the only good idea you've ever had!" she exclaimed before walking away.
Knux gave Sonic a "playful" shove after she walked away. "Don't get too cocky, you'll only be getting that once," he warned.
"Oh, get over yourself! You know my situation!" Sonic complained.
"Whatever, just-" Knux started before a familiar echidna wrapped his arms around him.
"Hey Knuxy-sexy-baby!" Sky cooed in his ear.
Knux's arms were frozen at the moment, so he couldn't get out of his grip. "Who invited you?" he asked annoyed.
"I work here, but your friend invited me as well." Sky replied while pointing to Rouge, who waved to them both.
"I'm gonna get her." Knux grumbled.
"Well, I've got you now, so how about you loosen up and get down with me?" Sky asked in a sexy tone.
"Look, I-" Knux started before Sky let go of him and walked up to Tails, who was at the turntables. He gave a relieved sigh as the echidna was out of his sight.
Sonic laughed as "Hella Good" started playing over the speakers. He looked over to Shadow, who was giving him a sexy grin. He mouthed the words "Who me?" as he pointed to himself. Shadow motioned with his right hand for him to come closer. He obeyed as they met halfway to the dance floor. They both faced each other as they began moving with each other.
Sonic seemed a LOT more relaxed than their last time on the dance floor. He even backed it up against Shadow as he went "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.." (A/N: You know, like in the song?)
Knux mingled in the crowd of dancers, avoiding Sky and looking for Rouge at the same time. He saw Sky backing it up towards him, so he backed away and hid under a table for a while until the song ended.
Sonic and Shadow left the dance floor and made their way to the small bar in the corner. A few words and daiquiris later, they were bombarded by Knux, Rouge, Tails, and Amy.
"Present time!" Amy cried out.
"Aw, ya didn't have to." Shadow started.
"Oooh, me first!" Rouge volunteered, holding out a small, jewelry-sized box. Shadow opened it to find a small gold necklace with a priceless ruby on it.
Shadow smiled as he put it on. "I like it. Thanks, Rouge."
"Anytime." she replied. "Happy Birthday, sexy."
Knux's eyes widened at the comment. "What the-"
"Ah, shut up! I had to say it sometime!" Rouge interrupted.
"Mine next!" Tails called holding out a bigger box to Shadow. As he lifted the wrapping paper, it revealed a pair of white and black shoes, similar to his white, red, and gold. "These shoes'll even make Metal Sonic jealous, they're so cool!"
"Awesome!" Shadow exclaimed as Sonic was giving him a slightly jealous look. "Thanks, buddy."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Tails replied.
Everyone looked at Knux, motioning him to go next. "Do I have to?" he said. Before anyone could give him a dirty look, he smiled. "Kidding! Happy Birthday, Shad." he said as he thrusted a gift toward him.
"Hmm, a punching bag. Cool." Shadow complimented. "And last, but not least, (A/N: I beg to differ.) mine!" Amy exclaimed before giving her gift bag to him.
As he searched through the bag, three items made his eyes widen. He named them as he set them on the counter. "Handcuffs..edible paint..WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" He took out some sort of pump from the bag and looked at it strangely.
"Don't play! You know EXACTLY what that is!" Amy teased.
"O-kay..freak.y...Well thanks, I think."
"No, thank me when you've had the best night of your life!" Amy assured him.
"I'll be sure to do that." Shadow said uneasily. "Hey Sonic, where's your present?" Shadow asked curiously.
"Right here." he said before putting Shadow in a loving kiss.

"Hmm, a punching bag. Cool." Shadow complimented. "And last, but not least, (A/N: I beg to differ.) mine!" Amy exclaimed before giving her gift bag to him.
As he searched through the bag, three items made his eyes widen. He named them as he set them on the counter. "Handcuffs..edible paint..WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" He took out some sort of pump from the bag and looked at it strangely.
"Don't play! You know EXACTLY what that is!" Amy teased.
"O-kay..freak.y...Well thanks, I think."
"No, thank me when you've had the best night of your life!" Amy assured him.
"I'll be sure to do that." Shadow said uneasily. "Hey Sonic, where's your present?" Shadow asked curiously.
"Right here." he said before putting Shadow in a loving kiss.
