Amy jumped up and down. "Oh I do! I have this cute couple's costumes for me and Sonic. She stopped and wagged her pointer finger. "But I'm not telling you guys what they are, it's a surprise!"

Sonic looked away from all of them while blushing. He knew what it was already.

Jet smirked. "Well I'm not going."

"You mean you aren't taking Wave?" Amy asked.

"No I'm not. Where on Earth did you get that from?" Jet answered. "WE AREN'T DATING."

Everyone stared at him. "Ohhhh."

"Have you guys been shipping us!"

Everyone else looked at the floor. "Yes…"

Silver finally got over to them and grabbed Jet's arm. "You need to be decorating the gym or else you'll be going, as one of the staff!"

Jet sighed and looked at the zombie. "Fine…" He walked off to where he was supposed to be.

Amy looked over at Silver. "So, how's the dance setup going so far?"

Silver stood up straight. "Really good actually. I think this is going to be one of the best we've ever had."

Amy smiled. "That's great. Me and Sonic are excited for it."

"Not that much." Sonic added.

"Well, at least I am."

Shadow paused the music playing on his iPod. "Kris convinced me to go, but I don't know what kind of costume I'm going to wear. I might just not wear one and come in regular clothes. I'm just that not into Halloween anymore."

Kris leaned into him. "Why nooot? It's fuuunnn!"

"Because I guess I'm just getting to old for dressing up. All it really does is piss me off."

"You're no fun." The ghost snow leopard pushed him playfully to which he didn't respond.

"Well I gotta go to class now." Amy said finally. "I have a big oral report to present on the history of vampires in History.

"I hope it goes well for you." Kris replied while still leaning into her boyfriend.

"Thank you. Bye you guys!" She ran off down the hallway to her History class. "I'll see you at Lunch!"

Shadow looked at Kris. "Can you stop leaning on me?"

The ghost shook her head. "No."

Sonic suddenly had a question in his mind. "Hey Kris. Have you ever possessed anybody?" He asked her.

Kris thought for a moment. She shook her head in Shadow's black jacket. "Nope."

"Well then…" Sonic got a smile on his face. "Possess him." He pointed at Shadow.

"Why would I do that?" She asked.

"Because it'll be funny." Sonic started to snort.

"She isn't doing that." Shadow put his arm around the ghost to keep her from falling.

Blaze stood there with a book in her hands. "Hey, guys, I have to go to class now. Can you move out of the way?"

"Oh sorry Blaze." Sonic moved out of the way and let the cat through. He looked ay Shadow and Kris. "Aren't you guys gonna go to class?" He asked.

"…Nah we're probably going to sit outside somewhere." Shadow answered. Kris put her face in his jacket again and started to purr.

Sonic was surprised that Kris didn't say anything to that. "Kris, you're okay with skipping class?"

"It's just a review day." She answered. "I already know the material." She went back to purring into Shadow's jacket.

"Uhh, okay." Sonic lifted his backpack up off the ground. "See you later then." He walked away from them to his class.

Shadow and Kris sat in the grass behind the school where nobody could see them.

"It's a beautiful night tonight." Shadow said while looking up at the stars.

"It is." Kris replied. "I just can't believe that you asked me of all people. Why did you choose me?"

"Because."

"It's just that I'm so…I don't think anyone could love me."

Shadow looked at her. "Why?"

The ghost was quiet, but then spoke. "Because I don't love myself, and I think I'm annoying to people."

"You aren't annoying." Shadow replied with a frown on his face. "You just remind me of someone I knew way back when."

"That person?"

"Yes."

"And I don't give you flashbacks?"

"No, not at all."

"That's good."

"And because you remind me of her, that's part of the reason why I like you, but sometimes, it makes me sad."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

Shadow pulled her closer to him. "You aren't annoying and people and I do love you, and that means a lot coming from me, because I don't love too many people."

"Thank you, Shadow…And are you sure you don't want to dress up for the dance?"

Shadow shook his head. "I'm sure."
