Chapter Two

Amy jumped in the air and grabbed Sonic and dragged him on the stage. "YAY! We get to sing together! Oh, isn't this going to be fun, Sonic?"

"Sing? With you?" Sonic gave her a scared look. "Not really...Singing alone, yes. With you, no."

Amy glared at him. "You better sing or I'll kick your a--"

Sonic covered her mouth. "We're ready Charmy!"

Charmy shook his head and sighed. "Dear God..."

We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach

If we're trying
So we're breaking free

"This is a great song for these two..." Knuckles rolled his eyes.

"This is a great song for you and Rouge." Vector's eyes sparkled with laughter.

You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are

Creating space between us
'Til we're separate hearts

But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe

"What song is this from?" Eggman asked.

Tails gave him a weird look and shook his head. "I don't know...Sonic's up on stage, leave me alone!"

We're breakin' free
We're soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah, we're breaking free
Oh, we're breakin' free
Ohhhh
Can you feel it building
Like a wave the ocean just can't control
Connected by a feeling
Ohhh, in our very souls
Rising 'til it lifts us up
So every one can see

Shadow sighed.

"Are you wondering why you and I didn't get to sing this song?" Rouge asked.

We're breakin' free
We're soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah we're breaking free
Ohhhh runnin'
Climbin'
To get to that place
To be all that we can be
Now's the time
So we're breaking free
We're breaking free
Ohhh , yeah

"Actually," Shadow replied. "I was just being thankful."

Rouge put her hands on her hips and glared at him. "Your just like Knuckles, you know that?"

More than hope
More than faith
This is true
This is fate
And together

We see it comin'
More than you
More than me

Not a want, but a need
Both of us breakin' free

"What?" Knuckles heard his name.

"Shut up!" Rouge snapped.

"...Okay..." Knuckles turned around again.

Soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah we're breaking free
Breaking free
Were runnin'
Ohhhh, climbin'
To get to the place
To be all that we can be
Now's the time
Now's the time So we're breaking free
Ohhh, we're breaking free
Ohhhh

You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are

"That's it." Charmy hit the stop button.

"Thanks for singing with me, Sonic!" Amy hugged him.

"Um, your welcome..." Sonic tried to get away from her grip. "You can let me go now...Okay, that's enough!"

"I love you..." Amy kissed him on the cheek.

"GET HER AWAY FROM ME!!!" Sonic screamed.

"Come on, guys! Get off the stage!" Mighty yelled.

Sonic smiled at him. "So, I suppose that you want to sing next?"

"I already went, you idiot." Mighty replied.

Sonic glared at him.

Amy pushed him back. "Tails and Cosmo can go."

"Hey, how come I didn't get to pick anyone?" Sonic asked.

"If I know you, and I know that I do," Amy explained. "You would've picked Espio next."

Sonic knew she right. "...No."

"Can we have the stage now?" Tails asked.

"Um, yeah. Sure." Sonic hopped off.

"Men!" Amy whispered to Cosmo and jumped off after Sonic.

Cosmo smiled to Amy then muttered when she left, "...Okay..."

"Can we start now?" Tails asked.

"I can't find the song," Charmy complained. "Crap! I can't find the song!"

"Then pick another song." Cosmo said.

"No, I had the perfect song for you two. Where is it?"

"Like Cosmo said, just pick another song," Cream pointed to another one. "See? Right there. Choose that one."

"Thank you! You found it." Charmy put it on.

Cream rolled her eyes.

"Okay, we're all set!" Charmy hit the play button.

Cosmo:
Live In My House
I'll Be Your Shelter
Just Pay Me Back
With One Thousand Kisses
Be My Lover - I'll Cover You

"This song I could sing to you." Amy smiled at Sonic.

Sonic slumped down in his seat.

Tails:
Open Your Door
I'll Be Your Tenant
Don't Got Much Baggage

To Lay At Your Feet
But Sweet Kisses I've Got To Spare
I'll Be There - I'll Cover You

"This is the perfect song for you and Knuckles." Shadow said.

"I know," Rouge sighed and walked over to Knuckles. "Knuckles?"

Both:
I Think They Meant It
When They Said You Can't Buy Love
Now I Know You Can Rent It
A New Lease You Are, My Love,
One Life - Be My Life

Just Slip Me On
I'll Be Your Blanket
Wherever - Whatever - I'll Be Your Coat

Knuckles slowly looked up. "...Yeah?"

Rouge sighed. "I'm sorry, but..."

Cosmo:
You'll Be My King
And I'll Be Your Castle

Tails:
No You'll Be My Queen
And I'll Be Your Moat

"What?" Knuckles asked when she paused.

"It's over." Rouge anounced and walked away.

"Ha! Ha!" Sonic laughed. "You got dumped!"

Both:
I Think They Meant It
When They Said You Can't Buy Love
Now I Know You Can Rent It
A New Lease You Are, My Love
On Life

All My Life
I've Longed To Discover
Something As True As This Is

"What did she mean when she said that it's over?" Knuckles asked.

"I just said, you were dumped." Sonic replied.

"I know, but I'm just confised because I didn't think it even started."

Tails:
So With A Thousand
Sweet Kisses
And I'll Cover You
With A Thousand
Sweet Kisses
I'll Cover You

When You're Worn
Out And Tired

When Your Heart
Has Expired

"I'll never dump you, Sonic!" Amy rested her head on his shoulder.

"Unfourtuantly..." Sonic patted her head.

Cosmo:
If You're Cold
You're Lonely

You've Got One
Nickel Only
With A Thousand
Sweet Kisses
I'll Cover You

With A Thousand
Sweet Kisses
I'll Cover You

Both:
Oh Lover I'll Cover You
Oh Lover I'll Cover You

"That was great, guys!" Charmy shut down the machine.

"What are you doing?" Eggman asked.

"We're done with the karaoke night." Charmy replied.

"We are?"

"Yes. Everyone has sung a duet and a solo."

"Everyone except you and Cream, who never sang a duet." Vector said.

"Are you trying to get out of singing, Charmy?" Espio asked.

"No. I just thought that since Cream and I are the machine people, I didn't think anyone would be able to take over while we sang." Charmy explained.

"And...?" Mighty cued him to go on.

"And, I didn't think any of you would notice." Charmy shrugged.

Tails turned on the machine with Cosmo right behind him. "Everything's taken care of. Go on the stage and tell me when your ready.

Charmy and Cream shrugged at each other and went on the stage.

"Are you ready?" Cosmo asked.

"I guess." Cream replied.

How do I decsribe the feeling
How do I begin to show
How Your love is always changin'
Everything within my soul

"You know I never noticed it, but Cream actually sings pretty good." Sonic said.

"Your just realizing this now?" Amy asked.

"Well, I've never heard her sing before, excuse me!" Sonic shook his head.

Amy hit him on the head. "Her solo?"

"...Oh."

You have opened up my heart
You have opened up my heart
Now your love is rushing in

All I want is You
You're all I ever need
All I want to do
Is be with You forever

"They're both singing!" Vector clapped. "This is the chorus."

"Wow..." Espio replied bored.

Mercy flowing like a river
Love is falling like the rain
Pulling up Your grace upon me
I will never be the same

Eggman heard someone snoring. "What the...? Mighty?"

You have opened up my heart
You have opened up my heart
Now your love is rushing in

All I want is You
You're all I ever need
All I want to do
Is be with You forever

"Mighty? Wake up!" Eggman poked him.

"Wakey! Wakey!" Rouge pushed him off of his seat.

Mighty hit the floor hard.

All I want is You
You're all I ever need
All I want to do
Is be with You forever

"Okay, Charmy and Cream," Tails turned off the karaoke machine. "Your--"

"DAMMIT, ROUGE!" Mighty screamed.

"Oh, I'm sorry...Did I hurt you?" Rouge smiled.

"--Done." Tails stared at Mighty and Rouge.

"I didn't do a thing." Eggman backed away once he realized everyone was staring over at him, Rouge and Mighty.

"Now what do we do?" Vector asked.

Everyone stared at each other.

"So, didn't Charmy say that we could fight Eggman after this and that's why we all agree to do this?" Amy asked.

"Oh, yeah!" Sonic stood up. "Stand still!" Sonic charged at Eggman.

Eggman started running but Sonic knocked him off his feet.

"Nice bribe." Cream shook her head.

"Um," Charmy started pushing Cream out of the room. "Do you want to go get something to eat?"

"If it gets us away from the fight, yes." Cream left.

Charmy followed with one last glance at everyon in a dog pile. Eggman, of course, at the bottom.

The End!
