Chapter 4: Spikes place

"This is your HOUSE!" yelled everyone. Spike didn't have a house, he had a mansion. "Big enough for you Rouge?" said Spike. Rouge nodded with her eyes still wide open. "How did you get this place, it's bigger than Rouge's mansion!" said Knuckles. "I work as an assassin for the police, and it makes good pay." said Spike. "What's an assassin?" asked Cream. Everyone got a nervous look. "It's just a person who can find the bad people better than the police." said Spike with a smile. Everyone gave a relieved sigh. "Hello master Spike, I see you have company" said a butler. "Yes, please show them to their rooms please." said Spike. "As you wish." said the butler. They followed him into the house and were amazed. "WOAH, this I could get used to." said Sonic. Sonic had somehow found the game room. It consisted of a big screen, the PS2, a gamecube, and basically any other game system you could think of. It also had a pool table and many different types of sticks. "Alright, to the rooms." said Spike. He showed them the rooms. "I have to say that there are only five rooms so some people are going to have to pare up. Take these." said Spike. He handed each person a ball with a number on it. And here they are.

Sonic: 1

Tails: 2

Knuckles: 3

Shadow: 4

Rouge: 5

Amy: 6

Cream: 7

Spike: 8

Mist: 9

"Ok, look at this machine." he said. Everyone turned to a glass dome that had the same type of balls as the ones that they were holding. Spike explained that the machine would assign the roommates at random. The machine started and the first two popped out. "Looks like 3 and 5, so Knuckles and Rouge are roommates." said Spike. Rouge gave Knuckles a kiss on the cheek. The machine started again. "This one looks like 7 and 2, so Tails and Cream are roommates." He said. Tails and Cream smiled. "The next one is 1 and 6, so Sonic and Amy are roommates. "As long as she doesn't act crazy on me." Sonic said. Amy just grinned. "The next is 8 and 9, so it looks as if Mist and I are roommates." Spike said. "Looks like im getting my own room." said Shadow. Then the Master Emerald glowed and Tikal appeared. "Hello, my name is Tikal." she said. "My name is Spike and im guessing you're friends with Sonic and the rest." he said. Tikal nodded. "Well you're welcome to stay aswell if it's all right to have a room with Shadow." he said. "That's fine if its fine with him." she said. She looked at him and thought "He's pretty cute." and Shadow thought "Man, she is beautiful." "Well, is it alright Shadow?" Spike asked. "No problem." he replied. After that, the crew changed into bathing suits (A.N: I made one for Tikal.) and headed to the pool. Sonic had a blue one with white streaks. Tails had an orange one with yellow stripes. Knuckles had a plain red one. Rouge had a two piece black and pink set. Amy had a pink and red two piece. Shadow had a black suit with red stripes. Cream had an orange with yellow flowers one piece. Spike had a black suit with the sign of darkness on the left side. Mist had an aqua green two piece that showed off the crescent shape below her neck. Tikal had a two piece that was gold and white. They swam and Rouge was holding Blaze in the water. He had a little red suit like his dads. He really liked the water. Knuckles and her would switch from time to time or sometimes both would stay. Tails and Cream would splash each other. (A.N: Sonic and Shadow can swim in this story.) Sonic and Shadow raced (Big surprise). Spike and Mist had a competition to see who could dive better. Amy would tackle Sonic in the water and, too much surprise, didn't mind. All though he wasn't too fond of loosing to Shadow. During this, time went by fast. "Hey, you guys, while we were out here I had something done. Go look in your rooms." Spike said. Everyone got a towel and looked in the rooms. Everyone's jaw except Spikes dropped. In the rooms were a big screen, a hot tub, game stations, games, DVDs, and a DVD player. "DANG, you sure do know a lot of people." said Shadow. "You could say that. Now tell me who likes what kind of pizza?" asked Spike. It turns out that Spike ordered pepperoni, cheese, and pepperoni/sausage. He ordered 3 of each. Tikal who just now tried pizza liked pepperoni like Shadow and Sonic and a few others. Tails and Cream took the cheese pizzas and the combination went to Spike and Mist. Everything was great, but miles away an evil Sonic/Shadow looking robot spoke. "Its time to bring back a great evil." it said. With that it rushed off.

So who is this evil being and what is coming back? R&R to find out. I need 10 reviews to make the next chapter.
