Chapter Nine

Double Date Disaster

Tails asked out Karen, she was delighted and happy to finally see that they could become something more.

"Come on Tails, Let us see, if Shadow and Sonic want to come with us, it'll be like a double date." Tails smiled and nodded, him and Karen knew from the time they were on the Space Colony Ark, both saw how Shadow looked at Sonic, he deeply cared about their friend.

"Yeah, Great idea, I'll go get Sonic and you bring Shadow." Tails yelled back and Karen went the opposite she ran to Shadow who was sitting alone.

The Ulimate lifeform watched her and he turned around and waited to see what she wanted from him.

"Yes?" He asked he looked at her with calm crimsons.

"Tails and I are going out for lunch, I was wondering, if you would like to go with us."He nodded and walked with her, where Sonic was waiting by Tails, he shrugged it off. Tails and her nodded to each other secretly, they were going to get these two together no matter what.

They all piled in the limo and it took them to a seafood restraunt. The two couples waited in line when a blonde rudely shoved Karen to the floor. "Hey, watch were your going little furry brats." said the blonde who had cut in line in front of them.

"Hey, Lady we were here first." argued Tails and she gave him a nasty look and Karen wasn't to happy but she wasn't going to leave, she wanted to have a nice lunch, so she just let it go.

"Hey, don't talk to him like that, what's your problem?" Growled Sonic and Shadow calmed him down.

"Well I have made reservations, so I should be first, you all were just in my way." said the snobby woman.

"Let's go wait over there guys she'll get what coming to her, karma show's it's ugly head." Karen said and they all nodded their heads in agreement.

Soon they were all seated at their tables relaxed waiting for their server to hand them their menus.

Tails and Karen sat together and left the two seats for the other two males on purpose, making them sit next to each other.

Shadow notice the blue speedster and blushed from how close Sonic was to him. He realized he was setup and looked at Karen, she took the menu and blocked her face from view so he couldn't see her. Tails did the same, she and him moved their faces closer, they could feel each other breaths on their muzzles. This would be her first kiss with him and Tails too.

Tails licked her lips asking for entrance, she was confused and opened her mouth to ask him what he was doing, she thought it might be just a simple small peck on the lips and he put his pink tongue inside her open mouth and his tongue wrestled with hers, she was shocked but not knowing what to do, brushed her tongue with his and copy his movements and he moaned loudly.

Sonic grabbed Tails menu away and wolf whistled and couple men around them joined in did as well.

"Way to go little buddy, getting the girl." Sonic cheered, Shadow smirked finding it amusing that Tails could be so bold. He didn't think the little guy had it in him.

Tails was way to into it and Karen started to turn blue struggled in the foxes arms and patted her boyfriends shoulder as a signal to break the kiss to get air but the fox boy didn't take the hint.

So Shadow intervened in order to help Karen out at the moment was about to faint from the lack of oxygen.

"Hey loverboy, give your girl some air." Shadow told Tails who backed off and Karen gasped for air her lungs, so desperately needed at the moment and Tails rubbed the back of his head and muttered an apology.

"It's okay Tails, I'm good." She looked at the menu and told the waiter she wanted water for a drink and would like to have catfish with a side of fries and Tails wanted the same as her.

Shadow ordered the smoked salmon and Sonic wanted lobster, they wanted water as well and the waiter went over the order again, telling them their meals would be out soon.

Soon the food was brought to them and they all ate quietly which was peaceful until they heard yelling, a couple of tables down from them. There was Sticks with some different version of Knuckles a very big, overly muscled version. *Yep, this is going to be a great day.* Karen thought sarcastically.

He had ordered shrimp and ate one unpeeled like it was his first time trying one. "Yummy, it's so crunchy." Then suddenly he felt sick and was ready to hurl chunks he ran to a table and grabbed a woman's purse and threw up into it "Blechhh!" The very same blonde that was rude to Karen earlier and karma did get her back.

Then Sticks started scarfing down a bowl full of unpeeled shrimp also and turned green. "Oh, I don't feel so good." Her stomach gurgled not liking the seafood and she ran towards the table where her friend Knuckles was and grabbed the bag from him and threw up.

"Blllerrrrgh!"

"I feel so much better now." Said Sticks and Knuckles agreeded with her.

"Hey that was my designer goochie bag, Oh, now it's ruined!" Said the blonde and Karen went over and told the woman the bad news.

"I hate to tell you this but that one is so a fake. I think they did you a favor." Karen said looking at her nails in bordom. * I have a real one back at the mansion, she didn't even say the brand right. God that sounds so wrong, on so many levels* Karen laughed quietly to herself the blonde had no clue.

The woman just gawked at her like she was crazy but soon realized the truth, she huffed and headed off towards the exit. Shadow snickered off to the side finding it a little amusing but started laughing really hard when he realized at how wrong it sounded. He told sonic and Sonic told Tails who turned a bright shade of red and coughed, he was really disturbed for the day. They all laughed at the inside joke.

Knuckles misunderstood what the woman said and thought, "Douche Bag, What's a Douche Bag?" He asked out loud causing everyone to laugh even harder that was the thought on everyone's mind everyone knew what it was but not Knuckles, they might tell him later.

"You guys are so lucky or you be in big trouble." Karen said laughing walking off the two had just made her day.

The two just look at each other and ran towards the group. "Hey, Can we come with you guys." Asked Knuckles.

"Sure, You can guys are always welcome." Sonic said but soon would regret it.

The six of them went to the movies, Sticks chosen to watch a cartoon with a dancing bird. She wanted to watch it two more times. After that Shadow had to speak up, he couldn't take the cuteness anymore and wanted to watch an action movie.

"Please, can't we watch something else for once." Sticks was going to say no and more dancing bird and Shadow would lose his patience with her.

Karen thought it best they all go home. "Hey, I'm calling it quits for today." She started to head on off.

"Wait Karen, you don't mind me walking you home?" Tails asked.

"Nope." She popped the P and they held hands and walked home, leave Shadow and Sonic with themselves.

"Hey, Um, Shadow I had a great time today. Well, Thanks I guess." He went to head to Tails house.

"Sonic...Get back here." Sonic did what was asked of him and he received a quick peck and Shadow embraced him and Sonic just stood there awkwardly. Sonic realized that Shadow may never say the three letter words, he had a weird way of showing it and well that's Shadow for you.

He and Sonic went to Tails home, they hung out and watched some TV.

KAREN'S P.O.V.

Karen made it to the front door and hugged her boyfriend goodbye and kissed him on his cheek and said, "I had a great time Tails, see you around, bye." Tails smiled and waved back thought to himself. * Sonis was right, I do have a way with the ladies.*

Then he went home thinking about his dream girl.
