AN: Okay, someone asked me why Chap 5 on here reads as Chap 6. Well that's because the first one I submitted for this fic was titled 'Prologue' and I don't have titles for the other chapters other than 'Chapter 1', 'Chapter 2' etc. Hoped that answered that question clearly :)

=Chapter 6=

The very next day, Amy and the girls went out again to go hunting for a wedding dress. Despite being a very big city, Station Square only had a few stores that distributed such things. Amy had extreme doubts about finding one because she had such a slime figure. Hell, she was smaller than Blaze.

"We should've ordered one online." the sakura hedgehog murmured.

"No, that wouldn't be a good idea, Amy." Blaze told her. "You never know what'll happen to it."

"She's right." Sally pointed out. "They could lose the order, it could be damaged in the mail..."

"Okay, okay, I get it." Amy said.

"It's just easier to go to a store." Rouge said.

Unfortunately it was easier said than done. The first two stores didn't anything that was close to Amy's size. The next store had plenty of correct sizes, but the styles were either very bland, tasteless, or too eccentric. There was one last store in the whole city. Amy had serious doubts about finding anything there.

"I think it's time to raise the white flag." the cherry-pink female muttered.

"Chin up, Amy." Rouge replied. "There's still hope."

Although that hope seemed very bleak, it was brightened just a little bit when they found something. It was the correct size but it wasn't much. It was sleeveless with the straps going around the side of the shoulders instead of on top. The dress was plain at best but pretty. It also came with fingerless arm gloves and a waist length veil attached to a small tiara.

"I guess this is good." Amy said after inspecting it. "It's better than no dress at all."

"Yeah." Rouge said.

'Plus I'm only wearing it for one day.' Amy thought.

With the wedding dress finally taken care of, the next phase of shopping would be shoe-shopping.

Since looking for Amy's wedding dress took nearly all day, the girls waited until the next morning to go out and look for shoes. While they were out, the guys were in the midst of planning Shadow's bachelor party. The Chaotix, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Silver were walking down the hall and throwing around ideas.

"We gotta to that Laser Bar." Tails said. "That place is awesome."

"Oh hell yes!" Sonic leered.

Then a few minutes later, Shadow had joined them. And he had a bone to pick with Sonic.

"Excuse me, faker." Shadow began with a boiling expression. "There's an issue I need to resolve with you."

"Indeed?" Sonic said with a cocky grin.

"Yes. Just what the hell do you mean by giving Rose a damn condom for her bridal shower?"

"Aw, come on, Shads. It was just a little joke."

The midnight clad hedgehog let out a growl.

"Tone it down, Shadow." Knuckles said. "We're trying to figure out where to hold your damn bachelor party."

"The Laser Bar!" Tails began again. "The Laser Bar!"

"Pipe down, Tails. There's a lot of other places to consider."

"Nothing beats the Laser Bar, Knux." Sonic said.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?"

While they were going down the hall, Shadow's ruby eyes had caught something in the large walk-in storage room. It was the wedding dress that Amy and the girls had picked out for the sakura hedgehog. They had placed it on a mannequin so it would stay neat and unwrinkled. The rest of the boys followed Shadow into the room after he stormed inside.

"Umm, I'm guessing that's Amy's wedding dress?" Sonic deduced.

Shadow looked as if he almost popped a vein.

"You're joking...right?" he asked.

"Well it's a big white dress." Sonic retorted. "Whaddya think it is?"

The ebony male looked at the bridal gown with sincere disgust and irateness.

"Rose is NOT wearing THAT." he hissed.

"Well hey, Rouge was telling me that this was the only decent dress they could find yesterday." Knuckles said.

"They call this decent?"

"Amy wasn't too thrilled about it either, but it was all they could find."

Shadow looked at the dress again, which made him slightly cringe at it.

"She. Is. NOT. Wearing. THAT!" he stated firmly.

"Shadow come on, what the hell are you going to do about it?" Knuckles sighed.

"First, get Rouge on the phone."

XXXXXXX

The girls were having a nice lunch at the food court of the mall after successfully buying appropriate footwear. Amy ended up buying two pairs because the pair for her bridal gown was a bit too uncomfortable for her to wear for a long period of time. So she bought a second pair- which was black-that could be worn at the reception. While they were enjoying their lunch, Rouge's cell phone went off.

"Hello?" the ivory bat answered. "Oh hi, Knuckie. What's up?"

The rest of the ladies casually went about eating until Rouge suddenly made a strange face.

"What do you want Amy's dress size for?" she asked in a confused tone.

Amy's head popped up after hearing Rouge's question. She stared at the female bat as she continued her conversation with the crimson echidna on the other line.

"Well, okay. It's six." Rouge said, after getting a reassuring nod from Amy. "Alright, bye."

She shook her head in sheer confusion after closing her cell phone.

"What was that all about?" Amy asked.

"Apparently, Shadow wanted to know what your dress size was." Rouge explained.

"Oh, I see. Oh Lord, I hope Shadow's not planning on getting me anything like you did."

Rouge smirked.

"Only time will tell, honey."

XXXXXXX

That afternoon, the guys came back after going out for an hour. Shadow had a look of complete satisfaction on his face.

"So uh...whaddya wanna do with the other dress that the girls bought?" Knuckles asked.

"Trash it." Shadow hissed.

"Seriously?" Sonic asked.

"Yes."

"Shouldn't we clear it with the girls first?" Vector asked.

"No." Shadow replied nonchalantly.

He went over to the storage room where the wedding dress was kept and snatched it off the mannequin.

"Get the paintball guns." the ebony hedgehog ordered.

This made a wide grin appear on Sonic's muzzle.

"Freaking awesome."

XXXXXXX

Ten minutes later, the guys came out into the courtyard of Castle Mobius with some of them clad in paintball gear. The Chaotix went to the dirt bikes instead. Then Tails came out clad in the wedding dress intended for Amy with an irate look on his face.

"This is a stupid idea." the kitsune growled.

"Aw come on, Tails. Lighten up." Sonic said. "Besides, you look kinda cute."

"...Shut up."

"Tails, go prancing around like a deer." Shadow ordered, cocking his paintball shotgun.

The yellow fox let out a whine.

"Do I have to?" he asked.

"Go on, Tails." Knuckles leered.

The poor kitsune let out a sigh and went up into the air. East of Castle Mobius, was a small area of trees and bushes. It was almost like a mini-forest. Sonic, Knuckles, Silver, and Shadow shortly went after him. Tails continued to float around, after getting slightly smacked by twigs that started to tear up the dress. Suddenly the yellow fox got hit with a paint ball and then another.

"Augh!" Tails cried out.

Knuckles, Silver, and Sonic started cracking up when Shadow began bombarding Tails with paintballs. Shadow was aiming more at every inch of the dress than Tails. Soon, Sonic and Knuckles joined in.

"AUGH!" the twin-tailed fox yelped. "Okay, okay! Enough!"

Both Knuckles and Shadow ceased fire, but the blue blur fired one more shot at Tails arse.

"OWW!" he cried. "Dammit!"

The ruby echidna and cyan speedster busted up laughing and exchanged high fives. Silver had been on the ground the whole time clutching his gut from laughing so hard, and not being able to fire a shot.

"Now we have a colorful dress!" the albino hedgehog rasped.

"I'm not through with it yet." Shadow growled.

The crimson-splashed male went over to Tails, still recovering from getting shot numerous paintballs, and tore the paint soaked dress off of him. Leaving the yellow fox only in his boxers. Sonic and Silver cracked up again as Tails was suddenly exposed to the 50 degree weather.

"H-hey! At least luh-let me get a-a change of cl-clothes fi-first!" Tails rasped as his teeth began to chatter.

Shadow ignored him as he went over to where the Chaotix were riding around on the dirt bikes. He made Espio get off and tied the long end of the skirt to the back and got on the vehicle. The midnight hedgehog then went around the courtyard, making the dress look even worse. After 15 minutes of violently dragging it around, Shadow finally stopped the bike and dismounted.

"Well, now you've gone and done it." Knuckles said casually. "Now what?"

"Nail it to the front door." Shadow hissed after squeezing the dress into the ground with his foot.

"Oh man." Silver groaned while giggling. "We're so gonna get in trouble for this!"
