"Now, don't do anything too insane, Blaze." Silver chuckled at his wife's face, her eyesbrows lifted and wearing an expression that said 'You have got to be kidding me'. Amy giggled and waved Silver away. "Don't worry about anything, Dad." She and Blaze laughed at her comment, and at how Silver acted all offended.

Blaze and Amy gently pushed him to the door. "Alright, alright. I get the picture. I'll leave you girls to your party. Unless...you decide you want me to stay to make sure the baby stays safe." Blaze put her hands on her hips and tilted her head. "That's fine with me, as long as you're okay with being our personal make-up test subject."

His eyes opened wide and he reached for the door-knob. "Call me if you need anything, see you tomorrow sweet heart!" He quickly kissed her on her cheek before rushing out the door and shutting it behind him.

"He really is cute, isn't he?" Amy smiled at how much Blaze and Silver were in love, and she nodded in agreement. "Yah, it's sweet how much he cares for you. He's going to be a great father." Blaze sighed and patted her tummy affectionately. "He sure is."

"Amy, who's here?" Cream's voice echoed in from the living room. Amy took Blaze's hand and lead her into the party, earning squeals of delight from all the other guests. "Blaze!"

Marine, Rouge, Tikal, and Cream ran up to them and hugged her one at a time, all being cautious of the baby. After a minute of hello's, everyone settled back down into their positions.

Rouge sat cross-legged on her sleeping bag, while Amy took her place sitting next to the bat on hers. Marine showed Blaze where she would be sleeping on the couch, and Tikal and Cream were scoping out the snack table (which held fruit punch, chocolate truffles, a fruit basket, and some of Amy's most famous cookies and brownies).

"So what's the occasion for a slumber party, Amy?" Rouge asked as she picked up her bag and set it down on her lap, trifling through it, looking for something. Amy shrugged and fluffed her pillow. "I don't know, Tails was away at the Science Fair and I had the house all to myself." She glanced over at Rouge with a questioning expression. "What are you looking for?"

As soon as that was said, Rouge yanked out a dvd from underneath all her make-up supplies. "I thought we could watch 'Bride Wars' later tonight." Tikal threw her hands up in the air excitedly. "I love that movie!"

Ding Dong.

Amy jumped up and jogged to the door. "Our last party guest!" She flung the door open to reveal Shade, holding up proudly a cd she obviously burned herself. "Hope I'm not too late!" She followed Amy to the room where everyone was waiting for them.

Shade plopped down onto the last empty spot between Cream and Rouge. "So, what's the plan for tonight?" She bounced up and down slightly, excited to her what they had to say.

"Well...dancing, movies, make-up, games-" Amy was cut off by Marine, who jumped up and made an announcement. "Let's fire up that music cd you brought there, Shade!" Everyone agreed, so she popped it into the cd player and 'What makes you beautiful' began playing.

Everyone cheered and leaped up, dancing and bouncing around the room.

"Baby, you light up my world like nobody else!"

Rouge made her way back over to her sleeping area and spread out all her make up supplies. "Makeover station over here!" Tikal ran over to her and brushed the hair out of her face. Then Rouge began applying mascara and blush to her face. Cream walked up and sat behind the echidna, waiting for her turn.

Blaze laughed as she watched Marine and Shade challenged each other to a brownie eating contest. Amy came over and sat by Blaze. "And we still have your baby-shower to party at!" They both giggled, then singing along to the joyful song.

...hours later...

"My hair...is blue...!" They laughed at the funny scene in the movie, and Amy screamed when Cream threw popcorn at her.

Blaze sat on the couch with blue eyeshadow complimenting her eyes perfectly. "And don't do anything too insane, he said." She spoke in a a deeper voice, imitating her husband for Shade and Tikal.

Everybody was having a good time, acting just like teenagers again. Then...

BANG!

A loud sound came booming through the windows from outside, causing all the girls to stop what they were doing and flinch. Amy muted the tv and stood up cautiously. "Hello...?"

She swallowed hard and walked to stand infront of the window. She slowly moved her gaze across the landscape, searching for anything out of place. Then she spotted a large branch that had been broken off of the a tree and had fallen against the house. It almost looked like something ripped it off the tree...

"I'm gonna go check it out..." She slowly opened the sliding door, Rouge, Cream, Shade, and Tikal getting up to follow her. "We'll go with you, Amy." Marine and Blaze stayed sitting on the couch, not even needing to say that it would be best for Blaze to sit this one out.

They each slowly, step after step, made their way to the middle of the backyard. With it being dark out, and a cloudy night, their surroundings looked kind of creepy. "Is someone there...?"

Cream shakily switched on her flashlight and tried to control her trembeling hands. She took her time waving it back and forth slowly, secretly hoping she wouldn't see anything too scary.

"Oh well, looks like there's nothing there. Time to go back inside!" Tikal turned on her heels to sprint back inside, but was grabbed by the back of her teddy bear pajamas by Rouge. "Wait...Cream, shine the light back to the left again."

She resentfully obeyed, resisting the urge to run away screaming.

All their eyes opened wide, and no one reacted suddenly right away.

A large, hairy, and very dark creature was crouched behind a bush. It was hidden enough so you couldn't tell what it was, but you could still see the outline of it.

"Is it a bear...?" Shade whispered.

"Is it...bigfoot...?" Cream asked under her breath.

Amy's whole body trembled, as did everyone else's, with fear. What was that thing? "I don't know..." She took a step forward, immedietly regreting it.

The creature noticed when he heard the snap of a twig. He reared up on his hind legs and stood at full height. Cream dropped her flashlight, and everyone screamed at the top of their lungs.

The moon shone through the clouds, and the creature howled, causing the girls to sprint back to the house at top speed.

Amy's foot got caught in a tree root, and she tumbled to the ground face-first. She didn't look up at first; she was sure she would be attacked or eaten. But when she wasn't, she looked back behind her and noticed the thing had retreated back into the woods, not even growling or anything.

"Amy!" Some of her friends shrieked when they realized they had left her behind. She pushed herself up off the ground and ran inside, slamming the door behind her.

They all breathed heavily, trying to catched their breath. Blaze and Marine hurried over. "What happened out there?"

No one answered. They all just shook with fear, and galnced back and forth at each other.

What was that out there...and why was it watching them...?

ALRIGHTTTTT! Again, soooooooo sorrryyyyyyy that I didn't get this out sooner. I'll make sure this will not happen again...! I promise you that! :) until next chapter!
