Sonic stared at the ceiling fan turn around and around. He sighed and rolled over.

"What is there to do around here?"

"Well you can read a book, for one thing." Shadow came through the doorway and went to the bookshelf that was there against the wall. He picked out a thick book and blew the dust off of it.

Sonic lifted his head up. "But I…"

"Don't tell me you can't read. I didn't expect you to be THAT stupid." The black and red hedgehog said with annoyance in his voice.

The blue vampire put himself up on his hands. "I can read! It's just I don't like to…" His voice trailed off.

Shadow smirked and adjusted his glasses. "You don't seem sure." He replied.

"I am!"

The older vampire tossed the book he was holding to him.

"Then read this."

The book hit the blue hedgehog in the chest.

"OW!"

He picked the book up and looked at the cover.

"The Grapes of Wrath?"

Shadow nodded.

"Knuckles would like this."

The black and red hedgehog put his face in his hand and shook his head.

"What?" Sonic asked.

"You're so stupid."

"Hey!"

Shadow melted into a wall as an actual shadow and left the room before the blue vampire could say anything else. Sonic was alone again.

"I love you so much Amy." Blaze purred and brushed the pink hedgehog's short quills. "Your hair is so pink and beautiful I could brush it all night."

Amy looked at her and smiled. "Thank you for brushing my hair for me. I can't do it very well with not having a reflection and all."

"I like doing it." The cat replied. "As long as I get to be close to you."

There was a knock at the door. Blaze glared at it and stopped brushing Amy's hair. The pink hedgehog got up off of her stool and went to go get the door. When she opened it she found Sonic on the other side.

"I'm bored." He told her.

"Sonic you so rudely interrupted us." Amy replied to him.

"I'm sorry but there's nothing to do. Shadow just tossed a book at me and told me to read."

"That's something to do. Why don't you read?"

"It's boring."

The pink vampire looked back at her girlfriend and sighed. "Well, um…I guess you can come in here with us."

Blaze hissed.

"Blaze, don't do that."

Sonic stepped inside the room. "Thanks Amy."

"You're welcome. You can sit on one of those pillows on the floor." She pointed to a few red heart pillows scattered on the floor. Sonic sat down on one of them close to the old vanity that Amy was sitting in front of. The pink hedgehog returned to the stool on front of the vanity and Blaze resumed brushing her hair.

Sonic looked at them and shifted uncomfortably in his seat

"What's wrong?" Amy asked, noticing his shifting.

Sonic looked down and gulped. "If you want to know the truth…I'm not that comfortable with…"

"With what?"

He tried to not make eye contact with her and whispered. "Homosexuals…."

"Oh…"

Blaze stopped brushing her hair and frowned harder.

"Oh, so that's why you were-" Amy looked at Blaze and back to Sonic. "I'm sorry if we're making you uncomfortable but…It's just who we are."

Sonic put up his hands. "I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with being gay, because there isn't but it's weird to me, and it makes me feel weird and-"

"Sonic, it's okay." She looked at Blaze again. What were they going to do about Shadow then, he-.

"But I'm curious about how you two met each other though." Sonic added, trying to fix the conversation before it got any worse.

"Oh!" Amy smiled again. "You want to hear about how we met?"

The blue hedgehog nodded. Amy put her hands on her lap.

"Well it all started at this posh vampire soiree back in France when I was about 350 years old and she was about 353. It was a party for the rich of the undead variety and I was being escorted by my father. He and I were having a wonderful time when I saw someone all by themselves with a glass of red wine standing up against a mirror. Something just drew me to her so I told my father that I was going to go get something to drink. He permitted me to and I walked over to the poor lonely cat and asked her what her name was." She looked over at Blaze who was now blushing. "She told me that her name was Blaze and I told her my name. Then I asked her why she was all alone and she told me that her mother and father had just died at the hands of vampire hunters. I felt bad for her so I asked her to dance so that she wouldn't be alone. She accepted and we danced. And at that moment I just knew she was the one."

Sonic nodded. "Mmmhmm. But didn't you have to hide? I'd imagine that sort of thing would be looked down upon.

Amy nodded. "Oh yes, we did have to hide, but it was worth being together."

"Oh."

"I think it's time for us to sleep now. The sun will be rising soon." Blaze informed them. Amy nodded and led Sonic out of the room with her following behind.

"Goodnight Blaze." She called to her lover.

Blaze closed the lid of her coffin to sleep.

"Now is the time to go in your coffin Sonic." Amy told him. "Goodnight."

She went to her room and closed the door. Sonic walked to his room and closed the door also. He lifted the lid of his coffin and got inside.

"Goodnight Sonic." He closed the lid.
