Scene 20

Next day…

Normal POV

Shadow's house…

"Pair of threes bitches!" exclaimed Sonic as he threw his cards down.

"You got to be kidding me right?" complained Shadow.

"Just pay up!" said Sonic as everyone (Silver, Tails, and Shadow) pushed their chips to him.

"Last time I play with you guys, the cards are always rigged." Complained Silver.

"Sore loser." Snorted Sonic.

"Look who is talking." Said Shadow. "You're the biggest sore winner here." He followed. Everyone laughed except for one person at the table. Tails looked at his lap as the guys looked at him.

"You ok kid? You love playing poker with us." Said Sonic as he nudged his shoulder.

"Yeah, just thinking about Marshall." He said in a low voice.

"Dude, relax. He will back soon, I promise you." Said Shadow as he tried to comfort him.

"Yeah." Said Tails, still in a low voice.

"Why did he leave?" asked Silver as he drank from his beer can.

"I walked in while he was smoking pot." Said Tails. The guys eyes went wide, as they leaned in to listen. "We had a fight and I haven't seen him since then."

"Just forget it, he told me that he always wanted to go to Canada! He probably lost his phone there or something. He will be back." Said Sonic as he handed Tails a beer.

"Cheer up." He said.

Tails smiled and took the can, he then took a small sip. "I got to tell you guys something." He said.

"What?"

Tails took a deep breath and said, "Cream is pregnant."

The guys looked at him stunned and speechless.

"Holy shit, didn't think you had it in you kid!" joked Shadow.

Tails smiled and Silver said, "Who would've thought that out of all of us, you will be the first one to have a kid."

"I know, I know! I thought Sonic will have a kid with Amy first instead of me being first." Said Tails.

Sonic narrowed his eyes at him as Tails continued, "You know, because you guys love each other and shit."

He laughed and said, "Yeah well… we are trying."

"Well, congrats man, your kid will be lucky to have you as a dad." Said Silver as he raised his can.

"Cheers." He said.

The guys raised their cans and said, "Cheers."

They took a drink and focused on their cards again.

Sonic then began to do a small, but long whistle.

TWEET!

BASH!

"What the fuck!" said Sonic after the noise.

The guys looked and saw Shadow covering his head on the table, his body shaking…
