Chapter 8- Night 2

That night they all met in the restaurant for dinner.

When they'd finally cleared a table for eight they seated them and they ordered when Liz stood up and said to the waiter, "Hey, maybe they could use some help in the kitchen!"

"NOOOO!" everyone shouted at the same time.

"C'mon guys! It's no problem! I can do it!" then Liz ran off into the kitchens. Moments later they heard screaming, breaking glass, and a small explosion. Liz appeared in the door to the kitchen, her hair singed and face black, "Whoa… don't go in there for awhile…" she said.

Then she looked at her friends who were all glaring at her, "Who wants pizza!" she asked.

All of them groaned as Liz dialed Mario's number on her cell.

They all left the restaurant and went up to their rooms as Liz waited for the pizza. When it arrived she brought one pizza to each of the rooms. They were all cheese and she only ordered four this time so nobody had to fight over who got what.

Room 096…

Shadow and Hannah ate their pizza talking about how stupid Liz was and why she always ruined dinner with her vague concept that she could cook. (A/N: HEY!)

They were so interested about this topic they didn't even seem to notice how close they were sitting to each other…

Room 142…

Rouge decided to save her pizza as a weapon, instead of eating it, in case Knuckles came too close to her.

Knuckles was currently trying to dodge every piece of furniture that was being tossed at him by Rouge, including the bed.

Then suddenly a knock on the door made both of them pause, "HEY! Keep it down in there! It sounds like you're throwing around the furniture!" someone shouted.

"We are." Rouge shouted back.

There was a pause, "Oh… well, could you stop?"

Knuckles smiled at Rouge, "Yeah, you're disturbing the neighbors baby." he said.

Rouge glared at him, "I'll give you 'baby'!" she shouted then she picked up the end table next to her and chucked it at Knuckles.

Knuckles retreated into the bathroom and locked the door.

"You'd better stop making all this racket or I'll inform the hotel manager!" the person outside said.

"Be my guest!" Rouge shouted as she slammed herself against the bathroom door, "Open this door so I can beat some sense into you!" she shouted at Knuckles.

Room 278…

Sonic and Liz were sitting in opposite corners of the room.

Liz had made a pact with herself not to have another conversation with Sonic like last night's; it was way too out of character for her to be talking to Sonic.

Sonic sort of wished she would talk to him again; he was hoping she would get over her hatred of him and maybe be friends with him instead of him having to scream and run every time he saw her coming.

They sat in silence for awhile eating their pizza, not even looking at each other.

Okay, nothing's going on here… MOVING ON!

Room 303…

Tails and Amy were the only ones having a remotely good time.

They were sitting on the bed together laughing and eating.

They, not like everyone else, seemed to enjoy each other's company, laughing, talking, and having fun…

This sucks! It's not funny at all! …hmm… I don't think I'll be back to this room…

Back to Room 096…

Shadow and Hannah were now sitting right next to each other and talking quite casually.

Hannah looked at Shadow and realized how close she was to him, "Why are we sitting next to each other?" she asked.

Shadow looked at her too, "…I… don't know…" Shadow replied.

They stared at each other for a moment and then looked away, embarrassed.

"Sorry…" Hannah mumbled.

"Don't be." Shadow said smiling at her.

Hannah looked back at him and smiled too.

Aw man! This isn't funny either! And it's starting to get mushy! Lets head over to room 142, maybe Rouge has gotten into the bathroom!

Back to Room 142…

Rouge had retired onto the bed, which she had put back in place after tossing it at Knuckles. She had propped a door against the bathroom doorknob so Knuckles was trapped in there.

"C'mon baby! I can change!" he shouted.

"No, you can go to hell!" she shouted back, then she pulled the covers over herself and closed her eyes to sleep.

Knuckles ceased pounding against the door and sat down in the tub, "I guess I'll just sleep here then…" he said to no one.

He pulled a towel off the hook and used it as a pillow as he fell asleep. He woke up later, under water! He sat up and gasped for breath. The tub was full of water!

"Rouge!" he shouted, "If you wanted to play dirty all you had to do was ask!"

"I WAS TRYING TO DROWN YOU, YOU PERVERT!" Rouge shouted from the other room.

"Suuuurrre…" Knuckles said.
