Author's note: What did I tell you? I had to split the chapter up because of its length. Here's the second part. The next and last chapter will be all my material.

Chapter 8, Part 2: A Sleepover
-
3:09 P.M. - Spies' Villa
The girls had invited Mathew and me over for a sleepover as thanks for saving Alex and Clover from almost becoming ghosts for good. Sam was wearing her blue formal that stopped at her chest, and brown pants. Alex was wearing her yellow dress with a flower on the left side. Clover was wearing her pink shirt and purple pants. I was wearing my red T-shirt and blue jeans. Mathew was wearing gray pants, and his red motocross T-shirt with the last name "Grant" on the back and underneath it was a 35.
"Thanks, Sammy," Mathew said to Sam.
"No problem. The pleasure's all ours."
"Yeah. At first I thought we were gonna spend our entire day at the beach before Jerry WOOHP'd us, but you three inviting the two of us over for a sleepover is much better," I improvised on what Mathew said.
I suddenly remembered something important.
"Hey, Mathew! Our rematch?" I said to Mathew.
"Oh yeah, I almost plumb forgot about that," Mathew said, slapping his forehead.
We began to rush to the TV with my Gamecube underneath my arm. Sam chuckled to herself.
"Figures they'd do their rematch. This I gotta see."
She began to sit on the couch too. Alex and Clover looked at each other and decided to join Sam.
"Hey, Leo old pal?" Mathew said to me.
"What?" I said.
"Do you have Sonic Adventure 2 Battle?" I asked.
"Yeah, sure," I said.
"Why? Do you wanna do our rematch on that, instead of 'Sonic Heroes'?"
"Yeah," Mathew said.
"How about a race at City Escape?"
"Deal - and we use the same stakes: the 15 bucks and the date with Brittney," I added.
"You're on!" Mathew said to me, and we started to play. He picked Sonic, I went with Shadow.
Mathew was leading for pretty much the whole game before he had to reach over to scratch his chest because it was a little itchy. I could sense a chance to make an upset.
(And from here on it's my material.)
Before Mathew had a chance to react, I guided Shadow to smack Sonic with a Homing Attack and knock him off the rail he was on. From there Mathew couldn't catch up in time, and I won the race.
"Um … two out of three?" Mathew asked me.
"Forget it, pal," I shot back.
"A loss is a loss. Now fork over the fifteen."
Sighing, Mathew reached into his pocket and handed me a ten and a five. I put it in my wallet.
"You did pretty well, though, before that upset," I complimented.
"Heck, you might as well have been Sonic himself!"
Mathew looked at me funny, and I quickly caught my mistake. He then approached the phone and dialed a number. "Hello? Brittney? Are you free tomorrow afternoon?"
