Sonic was running, running as fast as he could in the darkness that was engulfing him. He was running from something fast, faster that he had imagined. Nothing could be faster than he, could it?" He knew not to look back, but he couldn't help but peek. The only thing he could see was a glimmer of red eyes. The creature got closer and closer to him before reaching out and-
Sonic woke up the next night in a sweat and hit his head on the inside of the coffin lid.
"Ow! Ah shit! Ow…" He laid back down and rubbed his head. His eyes took a second to focus before he saw red satin. "Oh my God. What a dream. I was almost afraid I had got turned into a- Oh." It hit him that his dream was part in reality.
He laid there for a second with a less than pleased look on his face. "What time is it?"
The hedgehog opened his coffin lid and looked at the alarm clock on the side table that was next to his coffin. The clock read 5:45 pm.
"Can I wake up now?" He wondered out loud. "…I can sleep in, I think, they'll come get me up if they need me." He laid back down and closed the lid.
An hour later it was completely dark outside. Amy's alarm clock rang for her to get up and she did. After stretching and brushing her teeth she went back into her room to make sure it was dark.
"Good." Amy smiled and went into the kitchen and got out her coffee mug.
Blaze sleepily walked in after a while. She yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"Good morning." Amy greeted her with a kiss on the cheek. "How did you sleep?"
"Not good." The cat replied. "I think I slept wrong."
Amy's smile faded. "Aww…"
"Is Shadow awake yet?"
"I don't know."
"I'm awake." Shadow's voice replied from behind them. The two turned around to see Shadow in his normal black suit with a white undershirt and black shoes. He was always so formal.
"Great, now all we need is Sonic." Amy said with her hands cupped together.
The two groaned. "Why do we need him?"
"Because we're going out tonight. ALL of us. One of you go get him."
More groaning.
Amy put her hands on her hips. "What are you two? Zombies?"
"Well, we're dead." Shadow mumbled.
"Shadow you go get him and we'll meet in the kitchen of where we want to go."
Shadow made a noise but did what he was told. He walked to Sonic's room and threw open the door. He went over to the coffin and opened the lid.
"Get up."
Sonic looked at him and rubbed his eyes. "What?"
"Get up." The older vampire repeated. "We're going out and Amy is insisting that we bring you along."
Sonic could feel that he was trying very hard to be nice, in his own special way.
"Okay. Just give me a few minutes to get ready." The blue hedgehog replied.
Shadow nodded and stepped away from the coffin so that he could get out of it. Sonic got out of it and tried to fix his bedhead up in the mirror that was hanging on the wall. There was nothing there but a comb.
"What the-?"
Shadow smirked. "Vampires don't have reflections."
Sonic moved the comb around, watching it float in the mirror. "It's a ghost comb. Well damn, how am I supposed to know if I look good if I can't see what I look like?"
Shadow looked away from him suddenly. "…I could…" He replied without looking.
Sonic looked at him. "Okay, Uh…It's kinda weird you know, since we're both guys, but no homo, right?"
Shadow started to nod. "Oh yeah, it isn't homosexual at all…Yeah…"
Sonic smiled. "Okay." He put the comb through his quills a few times. "How about now?" He asked.
Shadow was busy looking at his emerald green eyes to notice what he was saying.
"Shadow?"
"Oh!" Shadow snapped back into reality. "Yeah, but it's still a little crazy on the left side."
"It is?" He asked and put the comb through the left side again a few times. "What about now?"
"It's still not there. Here." Shadow took the comb from him. "Let me do it." He licked his hand and dampened the side of Sonic's head with his spit.
"Shadow, this is getting weird…"
The black and red hedgehog didn't reply to him and combed the quills. The blue hedgehog was getting uncomfortable and wished that he had a reflection. He could feel the hedgehog's gloved hands move through his hair as he combed it. Shadow tried to make this moment last forever by combing as slow as possible. When Shadow was finished Sonic's quills looked neat and proper.
"Wow Shadow, I didn't think you could do that!" Sonic commented.
Shadow hid his smile and didn't say you're welcome or anything. Sonic took back the comb as Amy suddenly appeared at the door.
"What are you two doing?" She asked. "I just told you to get Sonic up."
Shadow stood up straight. "My apologies Amy, he just asked me to rate how his quills looked."
Sonic gave him a weird look. "No, you volunteered to do that. I didn't ask you anything."
Shadow bared his fangs at him and hissed.
"You aren't scary."
"I don't know what you two were doing in here but come'on! You're wasting precious nighttime!" Amy told them harshly and power walked away from the door.
Shadow glared at Sonic and walked out of the room. "Hurry up you fuck."
"Alright!" The blue hedgehog shouted after him. "Jesus…"
When all of them were ready they met in the living room. Amy was the first to speak up. She was wearing a black dress with heels and black gloves.
"You look nice Amy." Sonic commented on her appearance.
"Why thank you." She replied. "I like to get dressed up for outings, are the rest of you ready?"
Sonic looked down at himself. "I guess."
"Would it kill you to at least wear some clothes though?" Blaze said, annoyed. She was in a red sparkly dress with matching red heels and white elbow length gloves.
Sonic looked at her. "Well, I don't normally wear clothes."
"Blaze! Don't be mean. He doesn't have to get dressed up if he doesn't want to."
Blaze turned her head away from her. "Hmph!"
Amy ignored her and put her hands on her hips. "Okay, now that we're all ready we can go."
