Chapter 26- The Chapter where I stall…
Tails came into the house and threw his backpack into the corner. He was alone, seeing as everyone else had stayed after to either stare at cheerleaders' skimpy outfits or to throw rocks at the track team. I think you can figure out who did what by yourself.
He came into the living room to see Cream and Cheese sitting on the carpet roasting marshmallows over a little burning flower. She looked up and smiled at Tails, "Hello Mr. Tails. How was your day?" she asked innocently. "Chao Chao!" Cheese chimed in.
Tails stared at the little flower but then smiled at Cream, "It was great." He said.
"Aw man!"
Tails and Cream looked out into the audience and saw the Chaotix team sitting there eating popcorn, "After all we did to get you and that little Cosmo flower together you don't even care that she's being roasted?" Vector asked, "You make me sick!"
Tails glared at him, "It's not my fault Liz doesn't like me paired with her!" he complained, then he looked back at Cream, "So… I know you're too young to go to high school but I was wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me." He said.
Cream smiled, "Sure Tails, I'd love to go with you."
Tails smiled, "Uh… great…" Tails stood there for a moment then went upstairs and let Cream continue her barbeque.
Later…
Liz ran into the house followed by the rest. The boys looked like they'd been crying.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Tails asked coming downstairs.
"The cheerleaders were SO BAD!" Sonic shouted.
"I warned you." Liz said, "Our cheerleaders are enough to make you cry… and you did didn't you?"
"They couldn't make a pyramid so they kept trying and the fell off… over and over and over… AND THEY WERE ALL DOING DIFFERENT CHEERS!" Shadow screamed.
Cream patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry Mr. Shadow, I'm sure you'll get over the immense shock eventually." She said.
"As if!" Liz said, "I was normal before I saw them!"
The three boys screamed, "THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN TO US IS IT?" Knuckles demanded.
"Well, I was forced to watch them for three hours during a basketball game… so probably not." Liz said, "You weren't there for that long were you?"
"No, thank god we left after the first fifteen minutes." Sonic said.
"Too bad, I would have enjoyed a group of people as socially challenged as I am." Liz said, then she ran into the garage, "Hey, this isn't my room…" they heard her say.
"And to think, that was almost you." Amy said shaking her head sadly.
Liz came out of the garage and back into the living room, "You saw nothing!" she shouted. Then she ran upstairs.
"Hey, the dance is tonight!" Tails said, "Aren't you all excited?"
"Defiantly!" Knuckles said putting his arm around Rouge. Her eye twitched but she resisted killing him.
Amy grabbed Sonic's arm, "Come on Sonic! Let's go buy me a dress!" Amy pulled Sonic out the door while he screamed, "You're paying for it right?"
Later that night…
Sonic stood in the living room wearing a tuxedo, "Do I have to wear this?" he screamed.
"Unfortunately yes." Knuckles said coming downstairs also wearing a tux, "It's a formal remember?"
"Fuck that…" Sonic mumbled angrily.
Shadow came in and sat on the couch. "Why aren't you dressed up?" Knuckles asked.
"Because I refuse to go." Shadow said stubbornly.
"But Hannah already said yes." Knuckles said.
"Do you think I care?" Shadow snapped, "What good will it do to go to some stupid dance? The only reason people go is so that afterwards they can get high, go to their friends houses, and-"
"SHADOW!" Sonic shouted, "Keep it PG!"
"Why? Liz changed it to M rated anyway!" Shadow argued, "AND STAY THE FUCK AWAY!" he added pointing at the therapists who were sterilizing a needle.
Shadow looked back at the other two guys, "And since I have no intention to do any of those three with Hannah I have no reason to attend this 'formal' dance." He said.
"That's the way to be Shadow!" Liz shouted from the kitchen.
"Liz agrees with me." Shadow said with a smile.
"That's because she's about to go and blow up the dance." Knuckles said.
"Another reason not to go." Shadow replied.
Abrupt ending… sorry!
