its time to face the Music.
A quiet morning . Millie recieved a letter, which was a formal invitation to a bal. '' hmm... a bal''
the blond vixen was curious and enthusiast at the idea of her very first bal. She walked to her room and sat on her bed where Shadow was still sleeping. She daydreamed about how she could be dressed and maybe have a good time for once. Then tears ran down her cheeks again. The mere idea of the disease was still destroying her inside. She held the brass watch around her neck trying to stop crying then felt a warm pair of arms around of her to see that Shadow had woke up and hugged her. '' shhhh...don't cry. I'm here with you '' these words sounded like a miracle to her. And even comforted her for an instant. Almost forgetting about her condition.
Finally Shadow stood up from the bed and grabbed a pair of underwear he slipped in and went to the the kitchen grabbing the phone on his way there. '' i'm making a call dear.'' he said calmly and dialed Rouge's number. It rang twice before he answered the phone. '' Hello? ...who's there? '' she asked with a tired voice and Shadow groaned..'' still up all night aren't you ? '' '' well i'm a bat you smartass ! '' she snapped at him and yawned.'' what's up Shad? Besides waking me up ? '' Shadow told her about the Bal he and Sonic planned for Millie. And that he needed her services to make her feel like a beautiful woman and maybe forget her condition for once and enjoy a night at least. The bat agreed with the idea and they discussed the details over the phone for at least an hour while Millie was cooking breakfast . The the door ranged. She grabbed a vest and a pair of short to run to the door and opened to ..Sonic?! The Blue male was wearing a pair of old jeans and a white opened shirt with a pair of shades and winked at her. '' i came to pick you up for best friends day! '' She stepped back in surprise and Shadow appeared behind her and kissed her cheek. '' it was my idea dear. Please accept it, now go dress and he'll wait'' he said and Sonic winked again giving his signature thumbs up. The blond vixen ran to her room smiling with a tear running across her cheek.
The blue hedgehog was now standing in the doorframe waiting for his best friend to be ready and chuckled. First time he and Shadow were to get along without any problem. All for his best friend and now Shadow's loved one. It was indeed somewhat awkward to stand before his rival like this.
Both of them starrign awkwardly at each others until the blond vixen walked out of her room with a pair of tight denim shorts and a mesh tank top over white belly shirt. Her hair fastened in a ponytail with her fringe falling across her face. Both of them looked at her so she was stunning and natural. Making her touching her cheeks blushing. '' Do i have something on my face? '' she asked shyly and her dark lover shook his head and kissed her forehead. '' you're beautiful, that is all'' '' Yep i can't disagree at all! So ready? I got a whole planning for today! To make sure we have a good day together like we use to do ! '' he said with enthusiasm. She smiled and replaced her hair with her pinky. She obviously was happy and the blue male grabbed her wrist and pulled her outside and pulled her on his shoulders to give her the fastest piggy back ride she ever had.'' Woooowwww!'' the wind whipped her face so he was running fast and Shadow looked at them leaving. It would give him the time to prepare everything with Rouge. They Crossed the park and stopped by the beach. Millie sat on the beach sand a little dizzy and Sonic planted the umbrella. '' Is this alright like this? '' he kepts on preparing everything trying to make sure everything was perfect for her. Knowing that because of her treatement she had become a little more fragile than she use to was a great day. But there was a storm coming at the horizon. A pink and angry cloud coming slowly but surely. Sonic hasn't called Amy in a she had become paranoid. She ran to them and stomped the sand once she joined them. Grabbing the blue blur by the left ear and glaring at Millie with an intensive hatred in her eyes. If she could throw daggers or lazers. Millie would be fried and sliced and diced already.
'' JUST WHO IS THIS? AND WHY ARE YOU WITH HER A THE BEACH WHEN YOU FORGOT OUR DATE?!''
Millie felt awkward and looked down while tears ran down her cheeks again. Sonic on the other half tried to escape Amy's clutch and tried to explain everything to her. Which for once she listened carefully and felt sorry for Millie and sat next to her. '' I'm sorry i tought you were a nasty chick trying to steal sonic away from me again'' Millie sighed and kept her mouth shut knowing that everything she could say could and would be used against her later. Hours passed and they enjoyed the beach even if Amy was there with her huge temper. Gladly for her she had no treatement the weekend so she could enjoy a full day with her best friend. And once the sun setted he promised he would bring her back home himself and noticed she fell asleep on the blanket he brought. Then grabbed her bridal style and walked her home instead of running. While walking they came across Shadow who smiled at him. '' Thanks Faker, did she spent a good day? '' he nodded and explained even the Amy incident and both laughed a little without waking her up. Finally on the porch, Sonic transfered Millie into Shadow's arms which teleported them inside and layed her down on her bed and he streched his arms. '' Good night dear.. '' then kissed her cheek. Then sent a message to Rouge to ask her to pick Millie up tomorrow to get her ready for the bal.
The next morning, Millie woked up on her bed. Shadow was no where to be seen in the room and she could hear noises from the kitchen. She stood up from the bed and putted a long shirt on and walked to the kitchen to find Rouge cooking. '' Sit down Sugar ~'' she said. Millie nodded and sat around the table and watched her cooking. '' How do you like your pancackes ? '' she didn't had the time to respond that it was already ready with on top of it a couple of strawberries slices in a strange pattern. '' i call it , a sweet morning. Here a mug of coffee'' Millie shyly accepted and took a sip of the hot coffee and soon enough took a bite from the pancakes. As she tried to ask why Rouge was here she shoved another fork of the pancakes into her mouth to interrupt her.'' Tsk tsk sweety, don't ask and eat your breakfast. We have a busy day before tonight~'' the vixen blushed and nodded. '' and please... put something decent on. We have to get you a dress and make sure you'll be the most beautiful lady around ! '' she said with enthusiasm. Rouge that usually didn't tolerated other beautiful women around of her. Her pride didn't liked competition. But Shadow asked her to make sure his sweetheart would be the princess of the ball. Millie that everyone tought to be a boy at first needed to be in touch with her feminity. Once the both of them finished eating she pushed the blonde one to her room and stripped her. She reflexively covered herself blushing deeply and Rouge shook her head.'' No no Honey, you definately need help there...'' Millie looked at her puzzled and Rouge pulled out of a bag by the doorframe a box. '' here these undies should fit you perfectly ''. It was a red and black laced thongue and a matching bra. Millie always wored shorts before and was still covering herself told Rouge to look away. '' Please Honey, you think i have never seen a woman body before? Now put these on right now! '' She sounded bossy but Shadow wanted her to feel Femme Fatale and Rouge did knew what to alabaster bat helped Millie with the bra and even replaced the vixen's breast and placed her in front of the mirror. '' See ? You look marvellous honey. Why hidding this sublime body ? '' The Vixen seemed surprised at her own reflection. At her own surprised she did looked good. Considering this time she didn't tried to act like she did at the bar. Rouge would made of her a princess. The hours passed and she finally walked out of her room and Knuckles was waiting in the parking. '' S'about time BAT! '' he usually called Rouge Bat when she did abused of the time. '' Red..Shadow entrusted us to give Millie a makeover and a good day'' he sighed in response and opened them the doors of the car. Then drove to the biggest mall around and Rouge pulled Millie along. '' Uh!? '' she seemed surprised to be dragged in so many stores and trying so much things. Her who usually was working in her lab and workshop was actually shopping for once. And with a girl friend.
