Chapter 8-

Rose finally got out of my lap- which I still have no clue how that escalated- and my body relaxed again. Rose twirled around to face me with a smile as she said, "Shadow, we should do something besides watching anime, like going to the beach or something!"

I sighed at the thought of going somewhere. I'm not an 'outdoorsy' type of hedgehog, so I honestly wouldn't know where to go for fun.

"Actually the beach does sound good now that I've mentioned it..." The pink hedgehog says slowly pondering the thought

She claps her hands together suddenly and loudly causing me to jump slightly, "That's it! A beach party! We could invite everyone we know to go!"

I lay sideways on the couch as Amy makes up plans, "Amy, must it be the beach?"

She looks at me coldly as she says, "What else could there be Shadow?..."

I see now that she is determined to go to the beach, or she's on her period causing her to go into these crazy mood swings, whichever one seems fit for this scenario. Not wanting to see which one it is I simply nod my head and agree, one false move and my life could be jeopardized...

She runs off to go tell everyone she knows to spread the news as I sit down and wonder how I, the Ultimate Lifeform, got controlled over a small pink female hedgehog with mood swings. I roll out of bed and head up to my room to get my stuff together. I'm supposed to be looking for the weird storms mastermind and yet I'm off to the beach to let these freak storms continue. Even though I have absolutely no idea where to look either...

I put on my black swim trunks with silver dragons lined down the side. I exit my room with an extra pair of clothes and head back to the couch to wait for the dreaded beach. Soon after I sat down Amy excitedly jumps out of her room and down the stairs to the living room wearing a hoodie and shorts over her bikini. She starts jumping up and down in front of me excitedly as she explains the whole plan.

"Shadow, I got Sonic and Tails to come along with Cream and her mother Vanilla and somehow the team Chaotix got caught up in all of it which someone dragged in Knuckles, which I think Sonic did that part, and then that probably means Rouge will be there and I don't know about Silver and Blaze but I could be-" I cut her off from her longest run on sentence ever.

"Rose, let's just go before I regret even coming along." I sigh as she nods energetically and grabs her extra set of clothes

Moments later I teleport us to the beach as Amy somehow has a fire pit and bbq area already set up for the party. I stare puzzled at how all this happened but shrugged it off seeing as it's Amy's logic. She races around in the sand to make sure everything was up to her specifications and ran back at me and smiled. I'm surprised she hasn't slipped in the sand yet...

"Look at the waves Shadow." Amy said smiling

I look out at the ocean and look back at Amy, I assume she's never been to the beach in a while. That probably explains why she was so pushy to come here. I hear footsteps crunching on the sand behind us and glance back to see who's coming. Cream and Vanilla walked up smiling and waving. Amy spun around when I tapped her shoulder and pointed in their direction also smiling and waving.

"Hey Cream and Ms. Vanilla!" Amy exclaimed happily as she hugged them both

"Hey Amy!" Cream chimed cheerfully as her mother Vanilla sat down just a few feet away

I had an unsettling feeling that Cream's mother did not like me too much. I could feel the mother rabbit's intense stare on my back as Amy and Cream continued their conversation. It was a good five minutes until the two friends stopped talking- and a good five minutes until I could distract myself from the death stare daggers going into my back.

Rose watched the small rabbit walk up to her mother as she asked, "Well we should go into the water before it gets too dark, coming Cream?"

The peach colored rabbit nodded her head no as she explained, "I'm just going to wait for everyone else to get here, you guys go on ahead."

Amy grabbed my arm and clung to me, "Well okay then, come on Shadow!"

"Amy," I started as we walked and nearly at the ocean, "do I have to go with you though?"

Without a word I was pushed into the water by Amy. I guess that answered my question... and Amy took off her hoodie and jumped in after me.

Minutes passed until everyone arrived at the beach, Amy and I were messing around by splashing each other with water. Cream did eventually joined us while Tails followed shortly after. I left Amy with Cream and Tails after our water fight and noticed Sonic walk up. I grew annoyed by his presence since all he was doing was standing around watching me dry off.

"What do you want?" I growled at him as the cobalt blue hedgehog smiled

"So Amy's been hanging out with you a lot lately." Sonic said slowly with a slight smirk on his face- or it seemed that way to me.

"So what?" I snapped growing angrier until I saw a familiar figure flying in the air

Sonic followed my gaze, "Hey what are you looking at?"

I didn't care to explain and immediately followed after the figure flying high leaving Sonic behind puzzled. I teleported around trying to keep up with the thing but it was surprisingly hard. I'd lose it for a couple of minutes until I eventually found it again- whatever it is I'm not losing it this time.

It landed deep in a forest where I began searching, however why would it come all the way out here and why did it seem to follow us around?

To Be Continued...

Yeah sorry about it being all over the place I've had writer's block so I just threw random crap together and placed them in this chapter... Anyway I'm not an excellent writer and this is my first story so there was bound to be kinks in it.

Well, I guess I'll see ya later?
