Chapter Four - Dates
Amy had already prepared for everything.
Tails would drop Blaze and Cream off and Rouge said she had her own way to get there.
Looking over her apartment everything was in place perfectly.
Amy was about to sit down and wait when she heard a knock at the door.
Rouge and Shadow stood outside the door with the latter looking rather cross.
As Amy opened the door she heard Shadow mutter "I'm not a damned taxi."
"Rouge come in, Shadow can come in too if he wants" Amy said but already she saw his snarl starting to form.
"No, I'm going home, and back to sleep" Shadow spat the last part at Rouge.
"You mean back to my place, where you don't have to pay for anything" Rouge corrected him as she entered Amy's.
Shadow uttered a low growl before Rouge turned to him.
"Oh, and Shadow, pick up at seven"
"I'm not a damned taxi... CHAOS CONTROL" Shadow said disappearing but slipping in a "Fine" at the end.
"What was that about" Amy asked as Rouge went to sit down.
"Oh funny little thing about the Ultimate Life Form, he has a safety feature that if he is attacked while he is sleeping he teleports to wherever he was thinking" Rouge took a sip of the drink Amy had just handed her.
"So I whispered your address a few times then I plopped an emerald in his hand and kicked him in the shin... while he was still asleep" Rouge added the last part faking innocence.
"Wow Rouge... So I take it that Shadow is staying with you... Anything going on between you?" Amy asked with a small spark in her eye.
"Shadow is staying with me... and Omega... of course Omega at least does something." Rouge said with a small frown.
"So what, are you going to kick him out or something?"
"No... I have my plans for Mr. Ultimate Life Form." Rouge said with a dark smile pulling at her features.
"Rouge... what do you mean by"
A knocking came from Amy's door cutting her off.
Amy got up and opened the door to find Cream and Tails hand in hand with a rather pale looking Blaze next to them.
"Cream, Blaze, So glad to see you" Amy said going to hug both of them.
Cream broke from Tails hand and returned the hug while Blaze seemed to stand there for a moment.
"Blaze, is something wrong?" Amy asked seeing her not moving.
"No... No..." Blaze responded but she didn't really seem like she was all there.
"I just... didn't expect... we flew here... Tails' plane... I just didn't... I really need to go sit down." Blaze finally said after stammering for a minute.
Blaze went inside and Cream followed for a moment before turning back to Tails.
She ran forward and seemed to hesitate for a moment before kissing him square on the lips.
"I'll see you thursday" Cream said before returning inside Amy's and shutting the door.
Amy looked out the peephole in her door and saw a rather stunned Tails standing there and slowly nodding his head.
"Wow Cream... working on Tails are we?" Amy said with a slight smile.
Cream blushed slightly but didn't bother denying it.
"Amy, we are here for your engagement, so lets see the ring" Cream changed the subject perfectly.
"Yes Amy, I came from another dimension and a plane ride, so why don't I see any ring on your tail?" Blaze said getting up from the couch.
"On my tail?" Amy asked a bit confused.
Blaze stared at her for a moment, "Oh, different dimension thing I guess, so where do you wear wedding rings in this world?"
Amy held up her hand for all to see the ring on her hand.
Rouge grabbed her arm and examined the gem.
"Nice cut, fairly expensive, very good shine, this could fit in with my collection even" Rouge said before releasing Amy's arm.
"Don't get any ideas now Rouge" Amy joked.
(…)
"So do you have a date set yet Amy?" Cream asked as she took her eyes off the ring.
"Um actually I have no idea... I would really need Sonic here to help with that." Amy said with a small frown on her face.
Cream was about to say something when her ears seemed to pick up.
"Did anyone just hear that?" she asked while looking at the window.
"Hear wha..." Rouge started before he ears seemed to twitch.
"That" Cream said as she opened the window.
"What is it Cream?" Amy asked moving towards the window.
"It sounds like a really high pitched whistling..." Cream said lifting her ear to listen better.
"Can either of you tell me if it sounds like it's getting closer?" Amy asked while leaning out the window.
"What are you doing?" Blaze said thinking of the five stories between them and the ground.
"Just tell me when it comes closer" Amy said pulling out her hammer.
"Here it comes" both Cream and Rouge said in unison and Amy took aim before throwing her hammer at a spot on the sidewalk.
Amy watched as the hammer suddenly spiraled upward once it was about four feet from the ground.
Next to the hammer was a sprawling blue figure.
The blue figure grabbed the hammer, shook his head, and was gone in an instant.
Amy was already headed for the door when everyone heard a knocking.
She opened the door and Sonic stood there with Amy's hammer in one hand and his head in the other.
"I think you dropped this Ames" Sonic said rubbing his sore head.
"Good your here Sonic" Amy said grabbing his arm and pulling him in.
"What" Sonic said as he looked around and saw all the girls staring at him with smiles.
"So Big Blue, finally got the courage?" Rouge said her smile getting bigger.
"huh" was all Sonic could say still confused.
"Sonic, the girls here are going to help us decide on a wedding date" Amy said embracing Sonic from behind.
"I would say that it's a bit fast to be doing that but coming from me it would be redundant wouldn't it" Sonic said turning to kiss Amy.
Amy returned his kiss for a moment before the two were broken apart by a small "ahem" by Rouge.
"This is planing for the wedding, the honeymoon is after" Rouge said causing both the hedgehogs to blush.
"Sorry Rouge but hedgehogs are such good kissers" Amy said leaning her head on Sonic.
"Really good" Blaze said not realizing she was thinking aloud.
Everyone turned to look at her and Blaze blushed a little as the realization hit her.
"Well that says something" Rouge said eyeing both Blaze and Sonic.
"Why are you looking at... Rouge I haven't ever kissed Sonic" Blaze said as she followed her gaze.
"What's wrong with Sonic" Amy said in a small flare of temper.
"N,nothing... i've kissed a hedgehog before just not Sonic..." Blaze said afraid of where this was going.
"So you have a hedgehog boyfriend then?" Cream said speaking up.
"And you have a fox boyfriend, is something wrong with that?" Blaze said a bit harsher than she had meant.
"No not at all Blaze it's fantastic." Cream said un-phased.
"So will we get to meet this guy?" Amy asked still holding on to Sonic.
"Um... I'm not sure..." Blaze said not liking how this was now centered on her.
"Oh I know, all of you can be my bridesmaids and you will all need dates to add to Sonic's groomsmen." Amy said turning to Sonic.
"Hey i'm not too sure about that" Sonic began to say.
"I've got Tails" Cream said immediately.
"That works" Sonic said.
"I guess i'll drag Shadow there for laughs" Rouge said faking no emotion.
"Heh, that will be fun to see" Sonic commented warming up to the idea.
"So Blaze you can bring your boyfriend who is..." Amy lead on hoping to coax out an answer.
"His name is Silver" Blaze said with a sigh of defeat.
"Oh hey... isn't that the guy with the mind powers?" Sonic asked trying to remember.
"Yes, the one I talked about when we were chasing down those pirates..." Blaze said deciding to just go all in at this point.
"That works... so what was this about a date?" Sonic said bringing the conversation back to the point.
(…)
"Well for a date, we would first need a place so that we can figure out the best time." Rouge said surprising everyone.
"What?" She said as everyone stared at her.
"Nothing Rouge, we just didn't expect you to know so much about weddings" Amy said still getting over the shock.
"I've been to hundreds of weddings Pinkie" Rouge said sitting back in her chair.
"Like whose?" Amy asked curious as too who it could be.
"Oh nobody we would know, most of them were those couples that you could already tell were going to break up right before the ceremony" Rouge said rather calmly.
"Thats rather sad" Cream said looking down at her feet.
"Not really, they fight, the ring gets thrown at the grooms head, and I pocket it when it bounces... a win win for everyone" Rouge finished with a smile.
Everyone looked at her with a rather shocked expression.
"Better in my collection then bashing on some idiot's head" Rouge said putting her hands up.
"Ok back to topic... I have an idea for a place" Sonic said surprising them all.
"Hmm?" Rouge said shocked a little, Blaze just looked up curiously, and Cream turned her head up from her feet.
"Never Lake, below Little Planet" Sonic said causing Amy to hug him tighter than before.
Blazed turned to Cream as Sonic's windpipe was restricted and asked, "Where is Never Lake?"
"It's where Amy and Sonic first met, Amy won a contest to spend a day adventuring with Sonic and then she got kidnapped by one of Eggman's robots." Cream explained smiling a little at the romance in the place.
"Sonic saved her and the world and Amy's heart was his ever since" Cream finished with her smile still there.
"OH SONIC THAT'S PERFECT" Amy squealed in delight before she released him.
Sonic was on the floor coughing for a moment before he ran to the opposite side of the room.
"Sonic?" Amy asked wondering why he was over there.
"And as for a date, how about November 19th?" Sonic asked and immediately dodged Amy's tackle.
The two hedgehogs raced around Amy's apartment for a while as Blazed turned back to Cream.
"I'm guessing it's the day they met hun" Rouge said saving Cream from answering.
"Uah" Everyone heard from Sonic and then a thud as Amy caught him.
"SONIC YOU'RE SO ROMANTIC!" Amy screamed loud enough that Cream and Rouge fell out of their chairs from the sound.
"Hmm..." Blaze said turning her head down.
"What is it Blaze" said Cream as she stood up rubbing her aching ears.
"I want to check something" Blaze said pulling out a small pocket sized calender.
"Thats perfect timing" Blaze said looking up, "Our dimensions will be alined for whole month so I'll still be able to come."
"Four months to plan a wedding..." Sonic said causing them all to stop.
"Rouge, go into my closet and grab the blue file from the cabinet in there" Amy said still holding Sonic down.
Rouge returned in a moment with a huge folder in her hand, "How old is this thing Pinkie, I think I'm going to catch the plague"
"I started it back on November 21st, two days after we met" Amy turned to Sonic as she finished the last part.
"All this" Blaze asked eyeing the large stuffed folder.
"I've been adding to it ever since. All we need for a wedding is in there, we just call them all up and things are set" Amy said finally letting Sonic up.
"Go into the small green folder inside and there should be a page of the places listed and their rates as of last month..." Amy turned and saw Rouge, Cream, and Blaze starring at her with dropped jaws.
"I like to keep things ready..." Amy said defensively feeling a small blush trying to emerge.
"And I wouldn't have it any other way" Sonic said spinning Amy around and kissing her.
"Awe" Cream said as she saw Amy's muzzle begin to match her quills.
"Alright then, girls, you have your dates and, Sonic, we have ours" Amy said before returning to the embrace.

Hey, hope you like the chapter.
EVERYONE! Go check out SilverDawn2010, She is amazing and you should all read her stuff, or just thank her for the story.
Ok, I used the release date of the american version of Sonic Cd for the date so that isn't just out of the blue.
Seeing as how Sonic 06 got erased from the timeline Sonic hasn't technically met Silver except in the Sonic Rivals story-lines and I know NOTHING about those so I didn't use them.
I checked my Cd Manual and found that the lake is named Never Lake so that name isn't out of the blue either.
As for any other notes to add... please review... or just go check out SilverDawn2010 already... I wasn't joking go already.
Till next chapter I guess that is it.
