Took me a while didn't it? Sorry guys. I hope I'm not losing viewers!

Chapter 5

'Son of a bitch, so she…I mean he is. Who would have guessed? He looks like a damn girl.' Kain turned back to his acquaintance. Why acquaintance you may ask? Because people with friends are weak fools! Tails looked nervous and shifty.

"What's wrong maggot?" Kain snapped sensing the unease in the fox.

"I-It's j-just I think I know that hedgehog…" Tail looked as if he'd rather die than have the blue hedgehog see him. Kain raised a single black eyebrow. Tails flushed slightly. The flustered looking fox mumbled something about "high school" and "best friends".

"Best friends? I always knew you were a weak fool, but not this weak. So did you have slumber parties? Huh? And buy 'Best Friends Forever' bracelets or some shit like that?" Kain smirked slightly as the fox's face got pinker and pinker. "Did you share all of your secrets and have pillow fights? Weak maggot!" Kain sneered. Tails looked like he was going to cry or something. Kain huffed and let it drop. They sat in silence, Tails sipping his coffee and nibbling a donut with a slight pink tinge still on his face. Kain decided to break the silence.

"I'm going to get a donut." Kain said shortly making a move to get up, but then froze as Tails said something.

"I thought you didn't eat…" Tails smiled. Kain turned to his acquaintance seeing something bold and mischievous sparking in his eyes before it died down. Smirking softly, Kain shook his head slightly.

"You're right. I don't eat. I consume." Tails laughed. Kain almost found himself smiling, but then he forced it away. Smiles were the first sign of weakness. Weakness led to warmth, and warmth led to friendship. Kain shuddered. Without another word, he got up and left. Tails went back to nibbling the donut, a thoughtful look gracing his face.

Craze walked back to the table with a tray. A plate of six donuts, an Iced Cappuccino, Strawberries and Crème Frappuccino, and a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino decorated the tray. Craze hadn't taken their preference in coffee, because he was an expert at guessing what kind food someone wanted. He had guessed that Shadow, even though he didn't look the type for (excuse the wording) a fruity drink like Strawberries and Crème but Craze was sure he'd like it. Sonic would definitely enjoy the Vanilla Bean. As Craze approached the table he chuckled. Sonic and Shadow were sitting in the exact same positions he had left them in, their arms childishly crossed with glares on their faces. Shadow's was considerably more potent, while Sonic could only pull off a weak imitation of a glare.

"Grubs up." Craze said cheerfully. He was blatantly ignored and the two continued their glaring contest. Craze repeated the latter, this time slightly irritated. They didn't move. Craze's left eye started to twitch. Uh-oh. First warning sign. Once again blatantly ignored. Second warning sign, the cracking of knuckles while the eye was twitching. Shadow actually noticed but decided it was nothing and returned to the glaring contest. Big mistake. Final warning sign, the taking out of a large plastic bat from a book bag deposited at the side of the table. Ignorance is bliss until you get the crap beaten out of you with a plastic bat. SMACK! CRACK! A few moments later Craze was happily munching on a Chocolate donut, while the two idiots sulked and rubbed the bruises on their heads.

"Come on buddies, eat 'em up!" Craze gestured to the plate. Sonic grabbed a Boston Crème, and bit into it. Shadow hesitantly picked up a double fudge mint glazed donut. He made sure no one was looking before he took a big bite. Instantly his eyes lit up from the hard crimson, to a glazed red.

'Mmmm. Sweet delicious Double fudge mint goodness! I bow before your godly taste!' Shadow decided to savor the rest and took smaller bites. Sonic looked over at Shadow and smiled softly. That is until he saw the source of Shadow's pleasure.

"Ew! How can you eat that thing?" Sonic looked utterly repulsed.

"Thing? You will not address the Goddess of Donuts in such a manner!" Shadow

growled.

"Oh please. The only thing that's god of is fatness and heart attacks." Sonic said rolling his eyes. Shadow's eyes widened. He pointed an accusing finger at Sonic.

"Take that back you heathen!" Sonic rolled his eyes again.

"Take what back? The fact that that thing is a heart attack with a slight mint glaze?"

"Hey! That mint glaze tastes pretty damn good!" Sonic thought about it.

"Yeah you're right. It IS pretty good. Hey wait a second!" Shadow grinned.

"Ha! You've had one before!" Craze watched the two bicker while he sipped his Iced Cappuccino.

'With these guys around, I don't need no T.V.' He thought chuckling. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw an orange fox sitting by himself. The fox was watching them. Craze waved. The fox smiled slightly and waved back. Craze waved him over to their table.

Tails didn't know what to do. One of Sonic's (if the blue hedgehog was Sonic) friends was waving him over. He really wanted to talk with Sonic, but Kain wasn't back yet. Oh dear.

"Mmm. Boston Crème!" Tails almost jumped again. It was Kain. The silver hedgehog sat down next to Tails. He slowly began "consuming" the donut.

"Hey Kain?" Kain looked up at Tails, frowning.

"Yeah?" Tails sort of twiddled his thumbs.

"Do you think we could…sit at that table?" Kain followed Tails' finger to see the table that the cobalt hedgehog was at. Kain shrugged and got up. Tails grabbed his hand and dragged him over. Kain plopped down beside Shadow, while Tails took a seat beside Sonic. The two hedgehogs were still bickering. Craze made the introductions, even though Sonic and Shadow were too busy bickering.

"This here blue guy is Sonic. The other guy is Shadow. My names Craze. You guys are?" Kain spoke one word only followed by a cool scowl.

"Kain." Tails was a bit more enthusiastic.

"I'm Tails! I know Sonic from high school." Suddenly Sonic's head snapped up.

"Tails! Buddy!" Sonic grinned. "Haven't seen ya since graduation!" As the two friends talked, Craze listened. Meanwhile, Shadow and Kain were having a glaring contest. It was hard to say who was winning. They were pretty even.

"You're not bad." Kain declared with a scowl.

"Neither are you…." Shadow narrowed his eyes.

"Wanna discuss life as an evil person?" Kain growled glaring.

"Yeah. Let's do it." Shadow ground out. The other three were looking at them like "What the fuck?".

Geez. I'm so sorry for neglecting this you guys. I'm really sorry!

Sonic: Why am I gay? Why can't it be…Knuckles or something?

Knuckles: Why me?

Shadow: Because Knuckles is a stupid name.

Knuckles: WTF!

Tails: REVIEW!!!
