Chapter eight-

Shadow woke up after hitting the snooze button multiple times. He had a

huge hangover from last night's party, which seemed like a dream to him.

A dream he couldn't remember. Had he really kissed Amy? Or more like

she kissed him. Did that mean she loved him? Or was it all of those

Cosmos? His brow furrowed in confusion, and he heard a knock on the

door. As he opened it, something blue rushed in. "I swear I'm gonna kick

your ass and-" Sonic started. "Nooooo Sonic!!" Tails yelled as he flew in.

As the blue hedgehog and fox argued, Shadow quietly backed out into the

bathroom to wash his face. He looked into the mirror. "Oh yeah. Definitely

a hangover. A bad one too." Shadow groaned and washed his face. He

re-entered the room where Sonic and Tails had taken a seat on his couch.

"What a lovely couple," Shadow muttered as he passed by them.

"WHAT??" Sonic yelled in frustration as Tails blushed. Shadow chuckled

and headed into the kitchen. "I think we have some things to discuss,"

Sonic stated. "Oh yeah? About what?" Shadow innocently replied. "That

nonchalant act doesn't fool me. You know damn well what I'm talking

about," Sonic argued. "This has something to do with Amy doesn't it? And

what happened last night?" Shadow inquired. "Yes. It does." Sonic replied

confidently. "Well, you should tell me, cause I don't remember a thing."

Shadow said, then shrugged. "What do you mean?" Tails asked. "One too

many beers? I suppose I should've stopped you-" "You mean you were

there?" Shadow asked. "Of course I was there. All of the heroes were

invited, I gave Amy mine, but I got two other invites in the mail. Sonic

didn't go because he's too stubborn and 'busy'." Tails replied. "Alright fox

boy, then tell me what happened." Shadow was curious to know what he

had done to make Sonic so mad. It was funny. "Well, you guys were

drinking pretty heavily and talking for about... eh, three hours. Then Amy's

favorite song came on and you two began to dance-" "I DANCED?"

Shadow yelled. "Yeah. Probably the alcohol. Anyways, she kissed you.

Twice. You two seemed to be getting pretty close, if you ask me." Shadow

thought about this for a while, until Sonic broke the silence. "So you got

anything to say?" "….. looks like I've got your girl," Shadow replied, with

an evil-but-sexy smile. "And get out of my apartment." They began to

leave, when Sonic muttered, "I'll get him." Tails nodded and they were off.

"What a morning," Shadow thought. "Oh well." He thought about Amy and

began to feel all squirmy. "I don't love her." He confidently told himself. Or

maybe he does…
