Love at Twinkle Park Chapter 6: To the Dance Floor!, a sonic the hedgehog fanfic

I just got bored and I decided to update again! Phew, homework is such a drag…Anyway… Enjoy!!!

Chapter Six

Time has passed for Shadow, Amy, Rouge, and Knuckles. They've been at Twinkle Park all day, without a doubt. So now, it was six o'clock in the evening. Sure enough, they rode on a lot of rides. Obviously, Shadow didn't want to ride any wild rides because he gets easily sick. Soon enough, they start looking around for something cool.

"I'm bored", Amy yawned.

"We've been here since 3, and now its 6", Rouge looked at her Tinkerbell watch.

"So what do we do now?" Shadow asked with bore.

"Ooh, ooh, look!" Knuckles points up ahead as he hopped a little.

Everyone looks up ahead. From the looks of the place, it looked like a dance club. The music was up pretty loud, the disco lights changed colors, and a lot of couples were walking in there.

"C'mon, let's party!" Knux takes Rouge's hand and dashes to the club.

"Wait up!" Amy called out as she followed.

"I hope there's some strippers there", Shadow thought with a seductive smirk on his face. Then he followed his friends by walking.

(BGM plays "Don't Stop the Music" by Rihanna)

Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music

It's getting late
I'm making my way over to my favorite place
I gotta get my body moving
Shake the stress away
I wasn't looking for nobody when you looked my way
Possible candidate, yeah
Who knew
That you'd be up in here looking like you do
You're making staying over here, impossible
Baby, I must say your aura is incredible
If you don't have to go, don't

After waiting in line, the gang walked into the dance club. Most of the couples were dancing with each other to the song. The DJ was doing his work of course. A lot of lights were changing colors, from red to pink. Shadow noticed that there was a small bar that only had soda, juice, and water. He seemed a little upset, because he didn't see any strippers or exotic dancers.

"This looks fun!" Rouge exclaimed.

"Yeah, I'll say", Amy agreed.

"Whaddya think?" Knuckles turned to Shadow.

"Where are the strippers?" the black hedgehog asked.

Knuckles slapped his forehead as Rouge and Amy shrugged harshly. Again with the strippers? Seriously, can he ever think about something else, like having fun or something? Now they had to try their best to get the 'S' word out of his head. But how?

"I'll be at the bar", Shadow walks away from his group.

"Party pooper", Rouge crossed her arms. "I bet he only dances when he's drunk or high."

"Or both", Knux shrugs his shoulders.

"Regardless, even if he sees one stripper, he'll just go off and and beg her to dance for him", Amy said with disappointment.

"Oh, well, let's dance", Knuckles goes to the dance floor and the girls followed him.

Do you know what you started?
I just came here to party
But now we're rocking on the dance floor, actin' naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand, chest to chest and now we're face to face

With Shadow left behind, Amy and the others began to dance like it was 1999…again! Amy and Rogue did the monkey as Knuckles began to do the robot. As for Shadow, he sat on a stool and watched. As you may have guessed it, he's not a good dancer. Even if someone wanted to teach him how to dance, he wouldn't want to get laughed at anyway.

"Can I help you?" a male bartender asked Shadow nicely.

"Do you guys have a strip club around here?" Shadow asked him curiously.

"Sir, why would we have a stripper's club knowing that there are going to be couples here?" the bartender said with a sweatdrop. "No, we don't. Why not go dance with them?" he points at Amy, Rouge, and Knuckles, who were still dancing.

"I can't dance", the black hedgehog whispered nervously.

"Then let them teach you, dude", the bartender said. "Sure you may be nervous, but I bet you can dance better than that guy", he tilts his head to his right.

(Chorus):

I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music, DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music, DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music

Shadow looked over to the right. He and the bartender were looking at a fat purple cat (and we all know who it is). He was only doing the hooky-poky, and he sucked at it. In fact, no one was dancing with him anyway! No girls, no guys, no one! So hopefully, Shadow could dance better than that. A sweatdrop appeared on Shadow's forehead. He sighed as he got out of his seat and went to his friends. Meanwhile, Amy, Rouge, and Knuckles kept on dancing as they did the pointer (a famous dance move from the Disco times).

"What's up, Stripper Boy?" Knuckles said with tease as he notices Shadow.

"Can you… (sigh)…teach me…how…to dance?" Shadow asked as he looked away with shame.

"Yeah, sure!" Rouge grabs him by the hand. "Dance with Amy", she takes her hand.

"HUH?" the two hedgehogs looked at each other.

"Go on, do it", Rouge pushes the two close together. "Have fun", she walks away.

"Remember, don't step on her toes", Knuckles whispered inside Shadow's ear and then followed his date.

Baby are you ready cause it's getting close
Don't you feel the passion ready to explode?
What goes on between us no-one has to know
This is a private show

Shadow and Amy looked at each other oddly as they blushed. He had his hands on her shoulders and her arms were hanging down. So yeah, they got nervous right there. What were they going to do, stand there? Well, maybe…

(CHORUS)

(x4)
Please don't stop the music

(CHORUS x2)

Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music

Even though the song was over, Amy and Shadow were still standing in the same position as they were left off. Knuckles slapped his forehead and Rouge shook her head. There was no way that they were going to watch their plan fail! The white bat rushed to the DJ and asked him to play something else. He nodded.

"Now this song, is for the couples only", the DJ said in a nice, smoothing voice. "Grab your lover and dance with your soul…"

(BGM plays Stickwitu by PCD)

As he turned on the R&B song, all of the couples began to dance slowly. The disco lights faded a little as it changed into a dark blue color.

"Umm…You wanna…dance?" Shadow asked shyly.

"S-sure", Amy nodded timidly.

The two went to an empty spot on the dance floor so no one could see them. You might guess that Shadow was REALLY nervous right now. Amy took his hands and began to move a little. Thinking that its ok, Shadow begins to move also. Slowly, they move side to side. Rouge and Knuckles watches and gives each other a high five.

(Verse 1):

I don't wanna go another day,
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind.
Seems like everybody's breaking up
Throwing their love away,
But I know I got a good thing right here
That's why I say (Hey)

Suddenly, Shadow wrapped his arms around Amy's waist. She gasps a little as she blushes. Was he serious? She knows that she was getting nervous right now, but she didn't want to chicken out. Bravely, she wraps her arms around his waist and rests her head on his patch of his white fury, sexy chest. For some reason, she felt comfortable. Plus, his chest fur was soft and cuddly. As for Shadow, his heart began to beat anxiously and she could feel it.

"Your heart's beating", Amy giggled.

"I've never danced like this before", Shadow blushed as he looked away a little.

(Chorus):

Nobody gonna love me better
I must stick with you forever.
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you.
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you, my baby.
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you.

"Me neither", Amy shrugged her shoulders. "At least it's better than dancing by yourself."

"I guess", Shadow sighed a little.

Graciously, he made Amy perform a little turn and pulled her back into his arms. Looks like he was starting to get the hang of it. He thought that he was going to screw up, but he didn't! For his first try, he was actually good at it. Rouge and Knuckles kept their eyes on them as they enjoyed the music.

"So you wanna-?" Knuckles turned to her shyly.

"Ok", Rouge takes his hand and leads him to the dance floor.

"SCORE!" Knuckles thought with gleam.

And so, they began to dance slowly also. To be honest, they were starting to like each other. They may had some encounters in the past, but at least they're putting it all behind. They're only thinking about now and later.

"You're a pretty good dancer", Rouge whispers in Knux's left ear.

"Oh, um, thanks", the echidna said bashfully as he made her perform a twist and turn.

I don't wanna go another day
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind.
See the way we ride in our private lives,
Ain't nobody getting in between.
I want you to know that you're the only one for me (one for me)
And I say

(Chorus)

"Whoa", Shadow thought with more nervousness. "I'm starting to get a hang of this."

"He's a pretty good dancer", Amy thought as she performed another turn. "I mean, if I was dancing with Sonic right now, he would just ditch me right off the back."

Surely enough, they continued their dancing, as so did the other couples. Love was in the air right now. Shadow rested his chin on Amy's left shoulder as she held him close. A small smile came up on his face. After all, he felt something good about her. As for Amy, she's starting to think that Shadow's more than a pervert. Are they falling in love with each other? And what about Rouge and Knuckles? Are they in falling in love with each other too?

And now
Ain't nothing else I can need (nothing else I can need)
And now
I'm singing 'cause you're so, so into me.
I got you,
We'll be making love endlessly.
I'm with you (baby, I'm with you)
Baby, you're with me (Baby, you're with me)

So don't you worry about
People hanging around,
They ain't bringing us down.
I know you and you know me
And that's all that counts.
So don't you worry about
People hanging around,
They ain't bringing us down.
I know you and you know me
And that's why I say

On and on, all of the couples at the dance floor continued dancing. Rouge and Knuckles' plan was becoming a success! Nothing seemed to be the problem now it seems. Amy had a cute smile on her face with a pink blush on her cheeks. Suddenly, she heard some snoring. Was Shadow asleep? She looked at him and his eyes were closed and some drool was coming out of his mouth. Eww, and a little bit of his saliva was on her shoulder!

"You idiot!" Amy shook him madly.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on?" Shadow woke up and looked around. "Oh, my bad", he looked at her sorrowfully.

"Yeah, sure", Amy turned around and crossed her arms. "Men…"

Shadow slapped his forehead. If only he didn't fall asleep, then she wouldn't be mad at him. Maybe the song was kinda slow for him because it sounded like some bed time music. So he had no choice but to make it up for her. But how? A light bulb appeared on his head. He had an idea.

"Is it ok if I take you somewhere to get you something to eat?" he asked kindly.

"Well…You're paying", Amy nodded.

"Cool, let's go", Shadow took her hand and led her out, making her blush again.

(Chorus repeats 2x, then fades)

"Score", Rouge whispered as she watches the two cute hedgehogs walk out.

"Oh, yeah", Knuckles rubs his hands over her butt.

"Why you little…!" Rouge growled coldly.

Before the DJ played a different song, he gasped in fear and ran out of the way. He was able to escape before Knuckles crashed into the record machine. Then it ran out of power. Everyone looked at Rouge, who was panting hardly with madness. So yeah, she was the one who threw him over like that. And man, she is strong! That's what men get for touching the "wrong" area! Knuckles sat up and nursed his head as he starts seeing a group of Tweety birds circling around him.

"PERVERT!" Rouge yells out angrily and then stomps off.

"Wait, it was an accident, I swear!" Knuckles called out for her. "Darn it", he got off of the stage and runs after her.

"Great", the DJ notices his record machine in ruins. "Who can fix this?"

"I can!" Bob the Builder raises his hand up high.

"Oh, great", the DJ sweatdropped.

Phew, done! If only I didn't have any homework today…R&R, later!
