Chapter 4: A Night to Remember
It was the 31st October meaning it was Halloween. It's the day when people would dress up as there Halloween character. This was known to be Sonic's favorite day as would dress up as his favorite character, Dracula. Sonic was at his house waiting for his friend Tails.
"Hurry Tails!" Sonic said waiting downstairs impatiently. "We need to go!"
"I'm coming Sonic." Tails said, he soon was finished and went downstairs dressed as a pumpkin kid meaning he put his head in a pumpkin.
"Whoa Tails. I wasn't expecting you to be dressed like that."
"I thought I should do something different this year. But I can't really see a thing in here."
Sonic laughed as Tails just hit the door, as he couldn't really see.
"Just be careful Tails." Sonic told him, he looked at the time and noticed he was going to be late.
"Come on Tails!" Sonic shouted. "We need to hurry."
And by that Sonic grabbed Tails' arm, he opened the door and ran fast as possible to go to Amy's house.
After a few minutes of running, Sonic had made it to Amy's house; he knocked on the door and waited. The door soon opened and Sonic gasped as he was surprised to see. In front of Sonic was a pale pink hedgehog wearing a white, this was Amy dressed as Dracula's wife.
"Amy." Sonic said, amazed. "You look…gorgeous."
Amy blushed a bit and then replied with, "Thank you Sonic. I knew that you would be Dracula so I decided to be his wife."
"Dracula had a wife?" Tails asked. Sonic just elbowed him.
"Amy? Who's out there?" asked a familiar voice no other to be Cream.
"It's okay Cream, it's just Sonic and Tails." Amy told her. Cream was soon to be near the door, she was dressed as…well it was hard to tell as Cream looked like a bat, a cat and a rabbit, at the same time. But Tails like it as she was beginning very creative.
"Your costume looks great Cream." Tails told her.
"Thank you Tails." Said Cream, blushing.
"Shall we get going?" Sonic asked. Sonic's answer was when Tails, Amy and Cream nodded. Sonic picked up Amy bridal style and so did Tails as they went to Knuckles and Rouge's house.
Luckily Knuckles' house wasn't far from Amy's, it was just 2 blocks away. Sonic put Amy to the ground so he could knock on the door. As the door opened Sonic burst out laughing looking at Knuckles' costume, which was a skeleton.
"Nice costume knucklehead." Sonic laughed.
"Shut up Sonic." Knuckles growled. "Rouge picked it for me."
"That's because YOU wasn't bothered to ask me what you want." Rouge said walking to the front door. Rouge was dressed as a witch and carrying a broom.
"Nice costume Rouge." Amy smiled.
"You like it?" Rouge asked. "Picked it myself."
"Now you're missing the black cat, shame Knuckles couldn't be the cat." Said Sonic.
"Do you want to get hit?" Knuckles sneered. "Then keep talking about my costume."
"Yeah, whatever." Sonic shrugged. "Come on, we got to get a move on."
So now Knuckles and Rouge joined the crew as they head to the next house.
Sonic and the others were finally at Shadow's house. Sonic knocked on the door and waited. A few minutes has passed and there was no answer so Sonic decided to knock on the door again but louder.
"Maybe they left." Knuckles suggested. But Knuckles was wrong as they heard noises in the house, like yelling.
"Aren't you going to get the door then?!" shouted one voice.
"I'm still busy, you get it!" shouted a different voice.
"Your so slow."
"What did you say about me?!"
The door finally and the whole group screamed with fear. Not because that lighting was heard but also they saw a black clocked person hold a axe.
"What's wrong with you guys?" said the hooded figure, the hood was pulled down they sighed with relief to see Shadow.
"Man you scared us Shadow." Tails told him.
"I thought you might say something like." Shadow smiled.
"I should of known that you would dress as a Grim Reaper." Sonic sighed. "Shame about the axe, it's the wrong one."
"Yeah, but it wasn't my fault." Shadow said, referring to someone.
"Well I'm SORRY, Shadow!" shouted a voice inside the house that appeared to be Emily, she was dressed as a ancient mummy.
"They ran out of axes happy now." Emily told Shadow.
"Yeah. Whatever." Shadow grunted.
"What's up with you guys?" Amy asked.
"None of your business!" Shadow and Emily shouted at the same time.
"Sorry." Amy replied.
"Well now that everyone is here." Sonic began. "We should get going."
"Wait." Said Emily, "I need to go somewhere."
"Why aren't I surprised." Shadow mumbled.
"Is it important?" Sonic sighed.
"Yes."
"Okay, you take us to where you going."
So now Emily took the lead of taking to the place that she needed to go. But what got in everybody's mind was why were Shadow and Emily arguing.
Wherever Emily took the group, it didn't take that long, Emily knocked on the door and waited. The door opened to show Armand, Shadow wasn't pleased.
"Hi Emily." Armand greeted. "Nice outfit."
"Thank you. Aren't you going to get dressed?" Emily asked.
"I have nothing to wear, besides I don't really do Halloween."
Sonic gasped as he heard the last few words.
"You don't do Halloween?" Sonic asked.
"It's not really that fun." Armand shrugged.
"I think I'm gonna faint." Said Sonic but Knuckles just hits him on the back of his head.
"Shut up Sonic." Knuckles told him.
But Emily just smiled.
"Armand." Emily spoke.
"Yeah? What is it?" Armand asked.
"Can I come in please?"
"Okay then."
Armand let Emily in while the others stayed outside.
"I wonder what she's doing in there." Cream said to Tails.
"Who knows, we just have to wait." Tails told her.
As so they did and they started to hear talking inside the house.
"No way!"
"Is just flour."
"Well you ain't going to put that on me."
"Okay…"
"Thank you."
"Then…let's do PAINT!"
"You've gotta be kidding me."
10 minutes later Emily opened the floor, there was some flour on her jacket, with her was a completely white tiger.
"Hey, where's Armand?" Sonic sniggered.
"I'm right here, Sonic." Said the white tiger that appears to be Armand.
"What happened to you Armand?" Amy asked.
"Emily decided to put flour all over me."
"That's because you're coming with us Armand. And besides, you look okay in white. Just be lucky that it wasn't paint." Emily told him. Armand sighed.
"Well, I guess I'm with you guys also."
"Oh great." Shadow mumbled. Sonic raised an eyebrow at Shadow wondering why he was acting more moody than ever. Sonic was about to ask Shadow but he realized that he was going to be late.
"Now that everyone is here." Sonic said. "Can we please go now?"
"Of course. I so can not wait where you're taking us Sonic." Amy smiled.
So now Armand is with the crew dressed as a ghost, Sonic could now take them to the place he's taking the crew.
Sonic ended taking his friends into Station Square where they could see a lot of people waiting to go in some hall. This was Station Square Hall, where lots of things such as parties would be placed. Knuckles moaned as he looked how long the queue was.
"Great, it would take us ages to get in." Knuckles moaned. But Sonic just smiled and walked in front of the hall where a red hedgehog ticking names who is allowed in the hall.
"Name?" the red hedgehog said.
"It's me Rico. Sonic." Sonic told him. Rico looked at Sonic and then smiled.
"Hey Sonic, been a while huh?"
"Sure has." Rico looked at the clipboard to see Sonic's name and also a +6 meaning Sonic would have six extra people with him.
"It says that you would have six of your friends coming with you." Ryo told Sonic.
"Yeah, but there's an extra person coming with us, it was short notice." Sonic replied.
"Well…I wouldn't let the person in. But, since is you, I'll let you off."
"Thanks, Rico."
"Just don't tell anyone, okay."
Sonic nodded as his response and turned around where his fiends were waiting. Sonic gave them the signal to follow him in the hall and so they did. The people who were still waiting in the queue just got crossed as Sonic and the others got in.
As they went into the hall they could see lots of people in Halloween costumes, there was a DJ playing music and some people dancing.
"Welcome to the Halloween dance night!" Sonic revealed.
"This is amazing!" Tails spoke; he took off the pumpkin so he could see perfectly.
"How did manage to get tickets to a place like this?" Rouge asked.
"Heh hehe, it's a long story." Sonic scratched his head.
"I might regret saying this one day but this is a great place, Sonic." Shadow crossed his arms.
"You did a great job Sonic." Amy smiled
"Your welcome, Amy." Sonic replied.
Sonic then took Amy by the hand and walked up to the dance floor. This surprised Amy at first but then she smiled at her boyfriend. Tails soon did the same; he politely took Cream to the dance floor. Knuckles just smiled and so did Rouge, they both walked to the dance floor gracefully. That just left Shadow, Emily and Armand. Armand looked at Emily and Emily looked at him back, they both blushed. Soon, Armand finally spoke.
"Emily, do you like to…dance?" Armand spoke.
"I would love to." Emily answered.
Armand took Emily's hand and they both walked to the dance floor with the others. Shadow just sighed, and then he walked where there was a chair.
With Sonic and Amy
The music that was 'Worth a Chance' (From Sonic and the Secret Rings), Sonic and Amy were dancing together as they listened to the song.
"This is wonderful Sonic." Amy smiled. "The music is so smoothing."
"I know, Amy. It's perfect for the night."
"I'm surprised you didn't do trick or treating like last year."
"I thought I should do something else, for a change."
That's all Sonic had to say as him and Amy continued the dance.
With Tails and Cream
Tails and Cream were also dancing; Tails took off part of his costume while Cream kept her one on.
"Why did you take the pumpkin off Tails?" Cream asked
"It's because I wouldn't be able to see your gorgeous face properly." Tails replied. Cream blushed and they both continued to dance.
With Knuckles and Rouge
Somewhere else on the dance floor, Knuckles and Rouge were also dancing.
"Hey Rouge." Knuckles spoke.
"What is it, Knuckles?" Rouge replied.
"Thanks, for the costume."
"Your welcome, skeleton echidna."
"At least I ain't a wicked witch." Knuckles smirked.
"You mean a wizard?" Rouge suggested.
"Whatever."
Rouge just laughed, and so did Knuckles, they continued to dance.
With Armand and Emily
Armand and Emily dancing together, this was there first they danced and they're enjoying every second of it. They only met each other three days ago, and yet there relationship was getting stronger.
"Are you enjoying yourself Emily?" Armand asked.
"Of course I am Armand." Emily replied, with a smile. "I didn't you were a good dancer."
"There are many more things I'm good at." Armand told her.
"Oh really, like what?"
Armand just smiled. Soon he drew face a few meters away from hers.
"Well, there's this…" Soon Armand kissed Emily. They were both like that for a minute until they parted. Emily smiled and so did Armand. And they both continued to dance.
With Shadow
Shadow wasn't on the dance floor instead he was sitting in a chair that was placed at the corner. He looked at his best friends dancing with their girlfriends. Shadow just sighed.
"You look alone." Said a voice next to him. Shadow turned round to see a hooded figure, but the voice was a female.
"You could say something like that." Shadow responded.
"Do you want to dance with me?" the girl asked.
"I don't even know you." Shadow said, crossing his arms."
"I'll tell you my name if you dance with me."
Shadow raised an eyebrow but he stood up from the chair he was sitting on and took the mysterious girl's hand and walked to the dance floor. And they both started to dance.
"Why did you ask me to dance with you?" Shadow asked.
"It's because you look lonely." The girl replied.
"It still doesn't explain anything."
"Don't worry, you'll soon find out, Shadow."
Whoever this person seemed to know Shadow's name. Shadow doesn't know how but he didn't really mind as the girl just continued to dance with him.
When the dancing had finished people started to leave the hall, some of them were couples. Sonic took Amy home and with them was Tails and Cream. Knuckles and Rouge walked together going home. Armand decided to take Emily home. Shadow, unfortunately for him, the mysterious girl disappeared with the crowd. But Shadow founded a pink piece of paper on the floor. Shadow picked it up and then read what was inside.
Maybe we will meet again, Shadow the hedgehog.
Shadow put the note in his pockets and then walked out of the hall and headed back and looked at the starry sky.
Whoever you are, it was nice to meet you." Shadow said to himself referring to the mysterious girl.
