"Those hamburgers were great!" Sonic exclaimed proudly as he rubbed his full stomach. (A/N Have you ever notice that Sonic could sometimes seem to have a beer belly O.o) Sonic and Tails were entering the house after having dinner at Karl's Sr.

"I didn't know that you and Knuckles were going to have a long duel," Tails yawned.

"You know Knucklehead, he doesn't want to accept the truth that I can kick his butt easily," Sonic explained. Sonic and Knuckles had 112 rounds of fighting, Sonic of course won all of them. Tails walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water. As he drank down the water, he noticed that there was a pile of filthy dishes in the dishwasher waiting to get washed and the living room was really untidy. Tails sighed, Sonic heard it and walked over to him.

"What's wrong?"

"The house gets messy a lot. Tomorrow I'm going to build a robot that will keep the house clean."

"Not such a bad idea Tails," Sonic smiled at his lil' bro and walked off to his room. Tails sighed again and turned off the lights and locked the house. He then headed upstairs to his room to brush his teeth, change into his Pjs and got into his bed. The house was silent and all that could be heard was the wind howling outside as it rustled the leaves from the trees.

12:01 PM……..

Creak Creak Creak Tails' eyes instantly sprung open after his ears capture the sound of someone walking in his room. He's back and to make it worse. HE'S INSIDE MY ROOM! I hope he doesn't notice that I'm awake! Tails stayed quiet, listening to the sounds of the intruder walking in his room, the rain pounding against the house's roof and his heart racing in high-speed within his chest. Tails slowly moved his head up and let his eyes adjust to the darkness. All that saw was his bedroom door slightly open and the sound of the intruder's footsteps walking off down the hallway. Huh?! Where is he going?!

Tails carefully got out of his bed and walked over to his door. He peaked out into the long hallway and saw that Sonic's door was slightly open. Sonic always keeps his door close. Tails tip toed all the way to Sonic's door. He stood quietly outside and peaked in. His breaths were short and prompt as the adrenaline in his veins kicked in. His eyes widen at the sight of what was occurring inside Sonic's room.

The Tails doll that he got for his birthday was running towards Sonic, who was sleeping soundly in his bed. It began to escalade the bed sheets, pulling himself up to the sleeping Sonic. Once that he got on the top of the bed. It walked cautiously towards Sonic and stopped before his neck. It pulled out a silvery knife and started to chant some weird foreign words.

"SHEESHNOO WEESOOKNEE FARIESKA."

The knife that it was holding up began to glow a strange dark red aura. The knife itself was no longer a shiny silvery color, it was now a coal black. The Tails doll hold the knife above his head ready to strike directly at Sonic's throat.

"NNNOOO!!!!!!!!!" Tails screamed pushing the door wide open and running towards Sonic. The Tails doll stopped his chanting and turned to looked at the interrupter. Tails made eye contact with it, sky blue meets pure white, it growled at him. In the process of running towards Sonic, Tails tripped over Sonic's red sneaker left out on the floor.

"What's going on?!" Sonic asked, he was now fully awake. Sonic leaned over to his table lamp and turned it on, only to see a freaked out Tails laying on his stomach on the wooden floor. Tails spring back onto his feet and looked around the room.

"I swear I just saw him here," he said scratching his head in confusion.

"Saw who?! What?!……Tails?!!" Sonic yelled, getting irate that he couldn't understand what the young fox was babbling about.

"The Tails doll, Sonic! It was about to cut your throat!" Tails shouted out frantically throwing his arms up in the air. Sonic shook his head before looking Tails straight into the eyes.

"Dude, I shouldn't of told you my little nightmare that I had back in the car. Now you're getting nightmares about it. Go back to your room and get some sleep Tails." Sonic laid down and turned over in his bed giving Tails the view of his back.

"I swear that I saw him!" Tails continued, anger visible in his voice.

"Tails! Please go back to your room. We're not going to discuss this!"

"FINE!! But if it appears then don't come crying to me!" barked Tails, crossing his arms and stomping off.

"Looks who speaking Mr. 'I'm-not-so-little-anymore! I'm-twelve-years-old-now!" Sonic snapped back.

"I'm not listening to you!" bellowed Tails from the hallway.

"Oh! Just go to sleep!" Sonic holler. This was the last words of their argument. Sonic stayed awake thinking of what Tails had just told him about the appearance of the Tails doll. Tails must have had a nightmare about it. It's not real, it's just a doll. Probably even Cream is having nightmare about it too. Everyone thinks it looks creepy. It's just our imaginations. Sonic shutted his eyes tightly and keep on chanting over and over again . It's not real, just a doll. It's not real, just a doll. It's not real, just a doll. Sonic keep on going until sleep overwhelmed him.

Tails got to his room and turned on the light switch. The room instantly lit up chasing away all the shadows to their corners . Tails made his way to his closest, he eyed the handle and reached out for it. He had his hand around the closest handle hesitate to open it, in his mind he debate over if he should open it or not. Letting bravery take over and without anymore second thoughts, Tails yanked the closet door open. The black box was there. The silver bow still tied around it, Tails had retied the bow. Tails warily grabbed the box and from an arm's distance he untied the bow. Took off the lid. And looked in the box. There in the middle of the box was……..the Tails doll in the same posture as Tails had left it when he received on his birthday. It looked as if the doll wasn't even moved since then.

"Huh?" Tails frowned in indecision, "What is going on? Was Sonic right? Was it really a nightmare?"

Tails let out a deep sigh, he put the box back into the closet and closed the door. Walking over to the light switch, he turn off the bedroom light and retrieved back to his bed.

"I guess Sonic was right after all," Tails concluded, "It's just our imagination running wild."

--

"I have called everyone like you told me too. They should be over in about an ten minutes. The only people that are not coming is Blaze, Silver and Shadow. Blaze is busy doing some paperwork in her kingdom and Silver is off in some other place handling some focal situation. As for Shadow, he said he had important things to do then to go to a sleepover," Tails informed Sonic.

"Why am I not surprise? I kinda already knew he was going to say that. So do you have everything ready?"

"Yeah, see I even have my PJs on already," Tails said coming from behind the sofa and showing off his yellow footed pajamas. Sonic snickered at Tails' PJs.

"What at least I'm not the one that sleeps with only boxers on," Tails retorted.

"Don't worry about me lil' buddy, I do own some Pjs. As a matter of fact, I'm going to put them on right now."

"Now I know how Shadow feels when he gets irritated at Sonic's arrogant behavior," Tails mumble.

DING DONG!

"Coming!" called out Tails as he jogged over to the front door.

"Hey, Tails!" chorus Amy and Cream with Cheese flying about them. They all had bags filled with their sleepover stuff.

"Come in, you guys are sure fast," Tails said stepping aside to let the girls in.

"Hey fox boy!" Rouge addressed to Tails. She was trailing behind Amy and Cream carrying a rather heavy looking red bag.

"Rouge, how many, COUNTLESS, times have I told you not to call me that!" Tails shouted. Rouge looked at the fuming fox and shrugged.

"Don't ask me. I'm not keeping track," she replied. Rouge turned around and walked over to Amy and Cream, who were now in the living room.

DING DONG!

Tails was already standing near the door, he open it and saw a red echidna with a small knapsack.

"Let's get this party started! By the way, where's Sonic?" Knuckles asked pounding his knuckles together.

"ici," said Sonic walking towards them. He was wearing dark navy blue pajama bottoms with a white cotton tank top on.

"Wat up? Who's already here?" he asked.

"Amy, Rouge, Cream, Knu-" DING DONG! The doorbell ranged again, this time Sonic answered it.

"We're here!" stated a hyper active bee with a brown backpack. Charmy pushed past Sonic and zoomed off to the living room to greet Amy and Cream.

"We didn't have anything to do so we just came here after we received Tails' call," a green gator, Vector, was saying as he entered the house. He had a lime green bag slung over his shoulder, behind him was a purple chameleon with a dark purple backpack. He greeted Sonic and the others with a simple nod. Sonic closed the front door and locked it.

"Is that everyone Tails?" Sonic turned to look at the yellow fox.

"Yep, we're ready to get this sleepover rockin," Tails said pounding a fist into the air.

"Please don't do that again," Sonic sweat dropped. Knuckle was in the background, his arms were folded on his chest as he shook his head side to side at Tails' inane remark.

Sonic, Knuckles and Tails made their way into the living room where everyone was settling down. Vector had his Pjs on, they were simply a black t-shirt and forest green Pj bottoms. Charmy was wearing a yellow shirt and black long shorts that were past his knees. Espio was wearing a violet button down Pj shirt with dark violet Pj bottoms. "Where are the girls?" Knuckles asked looking around the living room.

"They went to the bathroom," Espio answered. He was taking out a sleeping bag.

"Amy can you quite being such a baby," Rouge told the repudiate hedgehog. Again Amy shook her head, her eyes closed and mouth pulled down in a frown.

"Don't you want Sonic to notice you?" Rouge tried again. She shook the item that she was holding by the lace. It was a silky short nightgown that would reach up to her thigh. Amy looked at the nightgown, at Rouge and then at Cream who was standing off behind Rouge waiting for her final decision. Amy gave a heavy sigh.

"I agreed to your idea of playing 'Hard to get' , but isn't this taking it to the next level?"

"Fine I'm not forcing you. Just think about it though."

Amy pondered for a few seconds before she told them her final answer.

"No."

"Okay, you win," Rouge said gathering the clothes that she arrived in and put them into her large red bag. She already had her nightwear on, it was a lilac short nightgown, the one in her closet that wasn't see-through, with a pair of pink soffee short shorts underneath. Amy convinced her to wear them after she saw that her nightgown was a tiny bit too short to be even called a nightgown.

"If you change your mind I'll be in the living room waiting for you two to come in to save me. Those boys are probably doing something absurd right now and I don't think I will be alive by the time you guys come. So please hurry up in here!" Rouge told the girls. Out she left leaving Amy and Cream inside the bathroom. Cream had her Pjs on already, it was a orange nightgown that reached all the way to her fluffy yellow slippers. Amy had on her pink Pj bottoms with a red cami top that hugged the curves of her upper body.

"You're not gonna change your mind are you?" Cream asked.

"No," Amy answered putting on her pink see-through button down Pj shirt, leaving it unbutton, and fluffy slippers. Cream smiled at her and picked up her orange shoulder strap bag.

"Ready?"

"Let's go," Amy smiled at the rabbit.

As they approached the living room, the boys and Rouge were in fits of laughter. Knuckles and Tails were both red in the face, Tails was blushing while Knuckles was gnashing his teeth. Knuckles was wearing a green footed pajama, they seemed to be the same kind Tails had.

"What happen?" Cream inquire.

"Just checking out the Pjs of these 'men'," Rouge laughed.

"Hmph! You're just jealous that we have one of these and you don't," Knuckles retorted.

"So what do you guys wanna do next?" Sonic asked trying to stop laughing.

"Oh! I know! I heard that that Wizards of Waverly Place Wizards VS. Vampires saga is going to be on channel 20 at 8," Tails chirped.

"It's only 7:48," Sonic said looking at his wrist watch.

"I'll make some hot coco so we can drink it while we watch the saga", Amy said. Everyone smiled at her in agreement. Sonic watched her leave the living room, confusion drawn out in his face. Why hasn't she hugged me to death or even looked at me?! Something's wrong. Knuckles grabbed the house phone and glanced at everyone with a grin on his face.

"While we wait how about we prank call people."

Two minutes later……..

"I'll be back. I'm just gonna see if Amy almost done, the show is about to start soon," Sonic told the group his excuse. Nobody really heard him, they were all busy crowded around Knuckles prank calling the Jerkins triplets from across the street. Sonic made his way to the kitchen door, opening it he saw Amy stirring something in a pot. She looked at him from the corner of her eye, their eyes met for a few seconds before Amy had to avert her eyes.

"Aren't you suppose to be with everyone else?" she asked. Amy went to the cupboard to grab the cups for the coco. Sonic walked over towards her. Amy put down the cups on the counter and turned around. She gasped as she bumped into Sonic who was standing closely in front of her. Amy leaned back a little bit, Sonic had her trapped against the counter, his right hand was leaning on the edge of the counter.

"Are you okay?" he asked…..with a hint of concern in his voice?!

"Yea, never better. Why?" Amy frowned questionably at him.

"Oh! I don't know you kinda seem to be acting different today. Is something wrong?"

"Pff!, Uh Sonic, just because I didn't hug you or try to get you to marry me today doesn't mean that I'm sick or something. I've just decided to respect your personal space that you always told me about. Anyways, it seems that YOU'RE the one out of character. You don't usually come to see me ALONE when our friends are with us." At this Sonic began to sweat, he pulled back somewhat and tried to keep it under control.

"What are you talking about? I'm always like this to everyone," he responded composedly.

"No! You're hiding something Sonic. I could always tell by the way of your eyes," Amy murmured the last sentence. That's it Sonic couldn't keep the conversation in his favor so he turned around and pretended to be annoyed at Amy's last sentence.

"Amy, you're just fantasying things. I just came here to tell you that the saga is about to start. I'll see you in the living room," Sonic said trying to sound casual. He waved her off with his back turned to her as he walked out of the kitchen.

"Seriously, sometimes I don't understand him," Amy huff as she turned back to making the hot coco.
