AN: Sorry if the chapters seem short I will try to make them longer as I go. And now, ONWARDS!

=Chapter 3=

Amy and Rouge went out to the garage where Sally, Blaze, and Cream were waiting. Amy was kinda miffed to see Sally there, but since she and Shadow's relationship was pretty much cemented, the whole deal about Sonic didn't really matter to her anymore.

"Here comes the bride!" Blaze jokingly sang.

"Shut up." Amy growled tiredly. "Don't fuck with me."

Blaze and Cream giggled as they all piled into the van. Both Sally and Rouge were in the front seat with Sally at the wheel.

"Wait a minute, are we going anywhere else?" Amy asked as they pulled out.

"Oh, a couple of places." Rouge quipped.

Amy let out a groan and put a hand over her forehead.

"Oh my God, you've gotta be kidding me!" she muttered.

As the van pulled out into the open road, Shadow watched them leave from a window on a higher floor.

XXXXXXX

Sonic and Tails went into the dining hall a few minutes later. The blue blur was rushing to a counter that had hot coffee and tea dispensers.

"Jeeze it's cold..." he rasped as his hands shivered while he tried getting a cup of coffee.

"Want me to turn up the environmental controls?" Tails asked.

"Willya? I don't know who the hell turned them down last night."

"Be right back."

Tails walked off as the cerulean hedgehog warmed himself up to his coffee. Then Knuckles came in.

"Mornin." he greeted.

"Sup?" Sonic muttered.

"You know, I wish Sally was still here so she can see you shivering like a damn leaf."

"Shut up."

Knuckles let out a chuckle as he went over to the counter and poured himself some green tea. Then he got a cheese Danish.

"So what's on the agenda for today?" Sonic asked.

"Rouge wants us to clear out one of the conference rooms for Amy's bridal shower." Knuckles explained.

"Oh shit. Is that today?"

"It's tomorrow. Rouge wants the room cleared out so she and Sally can decorate."

"Oh good. I still need to get a gift."

"Yeah well, don't tell Amy about it. It's supposed to be a surprise."

XXXXXXX

"Amy, you up back there?" Rouge called out from the front.

"Barely." Amy muttered.

"We're going out to breakfast after the flower shop, okay?" Sally added.

"Fine." the sakura hedgehog sighed.

"Hey the lest you can do is be a little excited.." Blaze said.

"I would be if I wasn't fighting to keep my eyes open."

"Then put a smile on that face for heaven sakes." Sally exclaimed.

"No. I'm grouchy."

Blaze and Cream let out a giggle.

"I have an idea, Sally." Rouge said. "I have a case of water bottles in the back. Pull over so I can dump one on her."

"THE HELL YOU WILL!" Amy cried, sitting up.

"See? That got you to wake up." Sally quipped.

The entire van burst into laughter except Amy who was steaming with anger.

"I thought I told you guys not to fuck with me!" she cried.

"Oh relax, Amy." Blaze said, putting an arm around the cherry-pink female's shoulders. "And bite your tongue."

Amy began silently fuming. Finally, the van pulled into a flower shop. One by one, the girls exited the vehicle and headed into the shop. The aroma coming from the surrounding flowers and plants was intense.

"If someone has allergies, I hope you took your medication." Sally quipped.

"Are you kidding me?" Blaze replied. "It's absolutely gorgeous in here."

"Watch the wall." Knuckles said as he, Sonic, Vector and Espio lifted the large table and slowly carried it out of the large conference room.

"Where we putting this again?" Vector asked.

"Just put it in the hall." Sonic told him. "We'll figure that out later."

They carried the table into the hallway and set it against the wall. Shadow was just passing by as they put the table down.

"Damn that was heavy!" Espio groaned.

"What's all this?" Shadow asked curiously.

"Rouge wanted us to clear the room so she can decorate for a bridal shower." Knuckles explained.

Suddenly, Sonic zipped past them, jumped on one of the rolling chairs and attempted to slide across the room in it like a skateboard. Instead, he fell off and the chair fell over backwards. Sonic laughed out in pain and Tails, Espio, and Vector started laughing along with him.

"What the fuck was that Sonic?" Knuckles exclaimed.

"Just screwing around." the blue blur groaned humorously.

"Trying to break the chair is more like it." Shadow said.

"Whatever. Knux, did she want the chairs out of here too?"

"Yup." the ruby echidna replied. "Everything must go in the hall."

"No prob." Sonic replied with a grin.

The guys began taking out the chairs in pairs out into the hall. Charmy, who was also there, and Tails started copying Sonic's stunt on the chairs.

"Cowabunga!" the kitsune cried out.

He slid on the chair across the hall until he smacked into the wall. Everyone but Knuckles and Shadow busted up laughing.

"I'm leaving before this goes anywhere." Shadow muttered.

"This one looks good."

Amy, Sally, and Rouge were looking at some samples of wedding bouquets sporting fake flowers instead of real ones. The one the sakura hedgehog was looking at had black ribbons streaming out of a bundle of red roses and little white flowers.

"You sure, Amy?" Rouge asked.

"Yeah. I like it." Amy replied. "Plus it goes with Goth motif."

"It does actually." Sally agreed. "She has a point there."

"Well alright. We'll order it." Rouge said.

Amy tiredly let out a nod and a yawn. While the ivory bat filled out the order, Amy wandered over to where Blaze and Cream were looking at other flowers. A few minutes later they headed back to van.

"Can we go eat now?" Amy whined.

"Yes, Amy." Rouge mused. "We're going to the diner down the block."

"Thank God..."

"Don't relax just yet." Blaze told her. "After that they're going to drop us off and you and I have some stuff to do."

"Oh my God, are you freaking kidding me?"

"Nope."

Amy fumed for a minute then she had another thought occur to her.

"Well then what are you guys going to do?" she asked Sally and Rouge.

"That's a secret." Sally replied in a matter-of-fact tone with Rouge grinning knowingly. "You'll find out tomorrow."

"Of course..." Amy groaned. "You know, you guys are gonna kill me..."

"Lighten up, Amy." Blaze said, beginning to rub the sakura hedgehog's shoulders. "Besides, you're gonna need it."

There was a pause of silence in the van.

"So what are we doing back home, Blaze?" Amy asked again.

"Well the first thing we gotta do, is take measurements." the lilac cat replied.

"For what?"

"Your dress size."

"...What do you need my dress size fo..oh right."
