"Sonic, wake up..." Shadow said, door already closed.

"Ugh... S'up, Shad?" Sonic mumbled, peeking his head up above the sea of coats.

Shadow gave Sonic a french kiss that had seemed to last forever.

For Sonic, this was still very odd to him, and Shadow's lips had been moist, and he was obvioucly the perfect example of Ted Bundy: Good looking, Attractive, Dates many, and had that thorn somewhere inbetween.

Sonic decided he'd just join in with this kiss.

I mean hey, all the gals out there, you probably wish you were in Sonic's possition now, don't you?

Sonic broke the kiss and looked into Shadow's blood-red eyes. They were very sincere of a sudden, and looked very calm and welcoming, almost.

Sonic closed his eyes and asked Shadow a question.

"Shad, are you trying to use me? Please, tell me now. I know that you're probably in that silly little truth or dare thing, but Shadow, do you really love me or are you using me for the Black Arms?"

Shadow didn't know what to say, and staring into eyes, beginning to get a little glossy-eyed, broke down on Sonic's shoulder, crying out his truth.

"Sonic! I'm sorry, I AM using you... but I suddenly realize how much I really do love you... And even if they hear me, underneith this sea of coats, I want them all to know... the Black Arms are planning another attack on the Earth, and I have to be their pawn because I'm Doom's only son, his only heir to the Black Arm's Army and the Black Comet in itself... I'm sorry Sonic... I didn't mean to hurt you, I really didn't... but you'll never forgive me for a malicious deed such this...

"I'm sorry Sonic, I really am..."

Sonic's eyes got a little teary as well, braking on Shadow, sniffling to his appology.

"Shadow... I forgive you... I promise I'm not mad at you for using me, gaining my trust... I really think I have the same feelings for you as well, but I'm afriad it will be too shocking to neglect Amy and Sudds like that... adultery..." Sonic said.

The two cried on through the night.

 

The rest of the group wondered why Shadow hadn't come out yet.

"Okay, the definately chickened out. Maybe he Chaos Controled out of there or something, so by defualt, Sudds, I dare you to kiss Amy..." Rouge said.

"I chicken out, too..." Sudds and AMy said in unicen, just then standing up and leaving, heading for their own dorms in The Mansion.

Cream and Rouge got up and went to their rooms as well.

 

Eventually, Sonic and Shadow fell cozily asleep, transporting off underneith Shadow's covers, after he'd had moved up to Doom's Room.

 

In the morning, it was usual.

Sonic never went to any meals because he was a robot.

Shadow, Doom and Rainyrre were just blocked from all society.

And then Cream hadn't awoken yet, and neither had Tails.

Sonic and Shadow had escaped to the ARK, along with Rainyrre.

"We can't let the Black Arms do this!" Rainyrre exclaimed.

"I know... and, y'guys... Ithere's someone I want you meet..." Shadow said.

Shadow logged onto a computer and tryped in some keywords: "Zyrox" "Sonic" and "Rainyrre" and poof! There was a file on all three of them. Some hedgehog name Zyrox, Sonic and Rainyrre, all on the Space Colony ARK'S Commputer! But why...?

 

 

About a week later, Amy had found out that Sonic liked Sudds, as well as Sudds had found out that Sonic had liked Amy!

Adultery, adultery, I can't get enough of it!

And so the war had started...
