Chapter Eighteen: Truth or Dare
Blaze woke up to the sound of birds tweeting outside. She smiled and stood up, had a good stretch, as cats do and then jumped as she heard a voice come from behind her.

"Nice ass."

She glared at Sonic, who had been asleep until now and was grinning at her, looking a little lower than he should.

"Sonic, I'm up here," She pointed to her face, and Sonic's eyes slowly came to meet it. She was already questioning the new sleeping arrangements. "But now you're up, get out. I need to get changed."

"Come again?" Sonic lay back in his pillow.

"You heard." she pointed to the door.

"Oh come on." the hedgehog said, slowly and flirtatiously, he pinched Blaze's bum.

--

"Sonic, Sonic!" the muffled voice slowly became louder as Sonic's vision became less blurred, he saw Silver infront of him.

"Uh, what happened?" Sonic muttered in a slurred voice.

Silver shrugged, "I just found you at the bottom of the stairs, I did hear a loud bang before that though." he helped Sonic up and continued, "Come in here anyway, I want to show you something."

--

Blaze, meanwhile, had just slipped her purple t-shirt on and looked at herself in the mirror, she tapped her stomach and then tutted, then rolled her eyes at herself for being so vain. She then made her way downstairs.

"Ah, Blaze!" Silver greeted her as she came into the front room, he and Sonic were sat cross legged on the floor, the "Truth or Dare" game from the previous night. "We were waiting for you."

Blaze paused for a moment before eventually finding words, "I'll pass."

"The hell you will!" Sonic grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her down next to him. "You spin it first."

Blaze hesitantly looked from Sonic to Silver, both had equally eager and idiotic looks on their faces, so she swallowed her pride and spun the little plastic bottle. The two hedgehog's eyes followed the bottle carefully, while Blaze's remained glaring at the opposite wall.

The bottle eventually came to a stop, right in front of Silver, who immediately shouted "Dare!"

"Mm." Sonic thought for a few seconds, "I can't think of anything."

"How about you punch yourself in the face?" Blaze commented sarcastically.

Silver looked at her for a moment - then to Sonic who nodded - and punched himself square in the nose, to Blaze's shock and delight.

"What are you guy's doing?" Tails asked as he walked in, his hands were full of complex mechanics and gizmos.

"Spin the bottle." Blaze told him with a sly grin. He didn't comment on this, but said as he walked into the back room;

"I'm gonna rebuild the machine, it should only be a few days, don't disturb me please."

"How come you've waited so long to rebuild it buddy!?" Sonic shouted after him.

"I've had other things on my mind." The fox retorted.

The second that Tails had left the room, Marine came in through the front door. Almost as though she had been waiting for him to leave, Blaze thought.

"So what're you guys up to?" she asked, sitting down next to Blaze, just in time for the bottle, which Silver had just spun, to land in front of her. "What's this?"

"I dare you to... kiss Blaze!" Silver said, trying to hold back his laugh. Marine stared at him for a few seconds, until she slowly opened her mouth.

"You can get stuffed, mate."

"But you have to!"

"Why's that then?"

"It's a dare! You can't refuse!"

"I refuse." Marine paused and looked around her, and turned back to Silver grinning, "Wow... look at that, I did it."

She spun the bottle, which landed on Silver, who had his arms crossed in a childish, moody sort of fashion. She smiled and ordered him to kiss Sonic, Blaze laughing the whole time.

"Heh, forget this." Sonic left the room to see Tails, waving a dismissive hand as he stood up. Silver left for outside a minute after, leaving Blaze and Marine in awkward silence.

"Can't think of a damned thing to say..." Blaze muttered, Marine just giggled quietly.

"Me neither." Marine muttered back.

"So... how's it going with Tails?"

"Pfft." Marine lay back, "It's not 'going'." she said bitterly.

"Oh." Blaze scratched the back of her neck and stood up, "Well I'm not cleaning that up." she pointed to the abandoned Truth or Dare game before she left the house.

Marine sighed, and shoved the game carelessly into the box, she looked at the small, plastic bottle for a moment and put it in her pocket, it just about fitted. She then threw the box on the nearest shelf. She left the house to find something to do, she hadn't had much fun in the past few days.

"Wow, you've done well." Sonic looked up and down at the phone box like machine that Tails was working under.

"This is just a shell, there's still the complicated part yet." Tails replied as he then sifted through the drawers for a wrench.

"Need a hand?"

"No! Remember what happened last time!?"

Sonic stepped back and looked at the ceiling, it had been badly plastered after the last time he had blown it off. "On second thought, I'll watch." he stated as he sat on the worktop.

This story is nearing it's end I think, I probably could write a third story in the series but I'm not sure about that. I'm also thinking about writing a story about Pokemon, so if any of you would like that, say so. Hope you liked this chapter anyway ^^

And by the way, has anyone else had a problem uploading documents today or lately? This chapter wouldn't upload so I had to edit a previous document and paste it in.
