Chapter 16 –Whistle why you work

The first weekend of the new school year rolled around quickly as expected. Now we go back to the deal made a long time ago. That little snag to living in a big house together. Some of them had to get jobs and it was agreed that Rouge, Amy, and Tiarra would be the ones to work. They couldn't work during the week, for school and what not, but when it came down to weekend they where free and had nothing better to do, so why not make some money.

Tiarra and Amy took the long walk out of their bed rooms and down the stairs in their Burger Kings out fits. Navy blue polo's and navy blue work pants, placed up high on the waist with a leather belt. Then their hair tucked back in buns under their navy blue and red hats with the insignia.

The boys and few girls turned around from the TV and looked at them. Sonic hollered, "Ow baby! Yall look sexy!"

"Shut up." Tiarra said sticking out her tongue and pulling down her lower eye lid, while Amy blushed while rocking on the balls of her feet.

Knuckles climber up higher on the couch and looked around, "Where's Rouge?"

"She should be behind us." Amy said looking to the stairs and then back to Knuckles.

"HEY ROUGE!" Tiarra hollered, leaning back with her hands cupped around her mouth to try and make her voice project.

"WHAT?" Rouge shouted back.

"Get your butt down here!!" Tiarra shouted.

"No way! On Mobious! Am I coming out in this horrible outfit!" She shouted back her voice sounding shrill.

"So if we were on mars she would come out?" Draith asked making a horrible pun.

Ale just gave him and innocent look and said, "No honey, don't try to be cool."

"Come on babe! It can't look that bad!" Knuckles shouted getting off of the couch and stepping over to Tiarra and Amy.

Tails turned off the television and all eyes went into the direction that Rouge would be walking in a few seconds, hopefully. You could hear the scuffle of her work pants rubbing against each other and the scuff of her shoes on the carpet, as she made her way around the corner. She stopped at the top of the stairs her head lowered and all you could see was the top of her hat with her large white ears sticking out either side.

She cludded her way down the carpeted steps, till she reached the level floor and raised her head slowly. A scowl that could kill a thousand was plastered on her face. It was quite obvious as to why she didn't want to come down stairs. Her costume didn't exactly fit. Well it did at the waist, but the chest seemed to explode out the top of her shirt where it was supposed to button. Tiarra and Amy looked down and sighed.

"Come on Rouge lets go or will be late." Tiarra said in a dragged out tone.

Rouge rolled her eyes and just stayed in place as Amy and Tiarra headed for the door. "Don't worry baby you look great. " Knuckles said kissing his darling on the cheek.

"It's not fair! Why do we have to work and you all get to stay home and enjoy the weekend?" Rouge said putting on her best puppy dog face.

"Hazzah for child labor laws!" Tails said giving Cream a high-five.

"Because! Where the heroes! And who ever head of heroes working? Except for 'after hours' of course am I right?" Sonic said standing up and walking over to Knuckles side to pat him on the back.

"I hear you brother!" Draith said from across the room. Because of this Ale slapped on his left moob. Hehe. "Ouch"

"Excuse me what was that?" Tiarra said walking backwards threw the door then resting her balance on the door beam.

"You heard him. Heroes don't work." Shadow said relaxing in his chair, closing his eyes.

Tiarra rushed over to him, "As if!" She said placing her hands on her hips and balancing her balance on her left leg. "And if I'm not mistaken, "She continued bending over and getting closer in his face, "your where once the villain and have barley been a hero. Honestly I think I've been more of a hero than you."

Shadow opened one eye, shrugged, and mumbled, "Women."

Tiarra gasped, and then slapped him hard across his face with her back hand. "You sexist jerk." She shouted heading out the door.

"Come on we should follow her." Amy said grapping Rouge by the wrist.

"But my shirt!" Rouge complained, reluctantly walking.

"We'll fix it on the walk over there." Amy said pulling her out the door.

Knuckles closed the door behind them and Sonic looked over to Shadow who was rubbing her sore cheek. "I think you just got b**** slapped." Knuckles said bursting out in laughter. Sonic shortly following. Then Draith and Ale…pretty much the whole room but Shadow was laughing.

Shadow scowled at everyone, and then pushed himself out of his chair. "What's his problem?" Sonic said laughing, as Shadow headed for the basement.

"Dude, it was a joke." Knuckles said following him.

"GAH!" Shadow yelled, "I just can't stand her!" He screamed slamming the basement door.

All the guys gave each other a wide eyed expression, and then they continued laughing like nothing happened.

That laughter could be heard threw the basement door and down in the chambers. Shadow slammed his fist against the wall, and placed his forehead next to it. He looked down, and began to breathe deep. Women, he thought, exhaling.

With the girls

"Tiarra slow down, it's like you're about to break into a sprint anytime soon, and we can't go that fast!" Amy complained speed walking to keep up with Tiarra.

"Tiarra really calm down!" Rouge said half walking, half gliding.

She shook her head and began to run at top speed, "That sexist jerk!"

fLaShBak woooooooooOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!

(Early that day)

"HA! I win again!" Shadow said, as he stood up out of his blue beanie bag chair, pumping his fist and controller in the air.

"O whatever." Tiarra said rolling her eyes, and hitting buttons on her controller.

"You're just mad because I'm superior to you." Shadow said plopping back onto his beanie bag chair.

Tiarra stuck out her tongue at him and poked him on his side. He let out a giggle, "Hey don't do that."

"O," She said poking him again – which made him chuckle some more- "You mean that?"

"YES! Quit it!" He said standing up.

"Make me." She said poking him again, but he flinched in defense.

"I'm warning you!" He said backing away.

She let out a big laugh and continued to poke him rapidly till he fell back into his beanie bag chair. "I'll, haha haha, fight, haha haha, BACK! HAHAHAHAHA!" He said to her as he was rolling on the ground.

"I'd like to see you try." She said teasingly back.

Then he did it, he poked her back. Tiarra let out a small giggle, and then it got really quiet. "O crap." Tiarra said looking at Shadow, with a wide expression of fear.

"HA! I have you now!" He proclaimed as he got up, and began to poke her. She tried to fight back but resistance was futile. Eventually Shadow had Tiarra up against the wall. She tried fighting back, but he held her wrists against the wall.

"Well, isn't someone a little aggressive?" Tiarra said giggling.

Shadow half smiled, "Hey you started it"

"Did not!" She said, begging to squirm, "You started by bragging!"

He thrust (As/N: O DAMN!) his body against hers and kept it there to prevent her from squirming away. Then he got real close to her face and said. "So what I won. It's my right."

Tiarra looked down at the potion, and blushed. As her heart beat went faster so did his, and she could feel it. Then in a half whisper, half groan she said, "Right, Smight. You started."

For some odd reason he gets a scowl on his face and walks away from the wall. "Typical of a woman."

Tiarra pushes off the wall, and heads over to him. "Typical of a wo-"She said with anger, but then was cut off.

"Yes, typical of a woman, such as yourself, to get all worked up over nothing!" He said folding his arms.

"Worked up?!?" She asked rhetorically, "No, no, no. Typical of a man to blame it on the woman."

He simply stated in defense, "That's not typical of a man."

She shrugged sarcastically, "Alrighty then, it's just typical of you!"

He turned around and even though he was a few steps away from her, he was in her face within a blink of an eye, with his hand raise to slap her. Shadow looked stern into her emerald green eyes. Tiarra's gaze kept going back and forth between his hand and his eyes, with a look of worry across her face.

As the moment grew tenser, Tiarra began to tear up. Then at this moment, Shadow slammed his fist against the wall.

With a tear running down her face, Tiarra mumbled, "I need to go get ready." And she left the room.

Leaving Shadow to groan in aggravation.

End of flash back.

Tiarra continued to walk the pace, she was walking. Amy and Rouge gave up on trying to stay with her and tried to fix Rouges shirt. And though she was about a block away, Tiarra could hear the passing men hoot and holler and Rouge's screams and curses. Then she mumbled, "Typical of a man."
