Sonic/Amy - It Started In The Cafeteria - 5

The bottle kept spinning, and spinning, and spinning, round and round and round, slowing down slightly, threatening to stop.

Please don't stop at Shadow! I begged God, or whoever was up there, as the bottle (which was now going really slowly) came close to us three.

...By us three...I meant me, Shadow and Silver.

If it stopped at Shadow, I would be asked.
I would choose Dare, as I always do without thinking whenever I play this dumb game, and have to do something really embarrassing, like...I don't know!
Kiss Sonic, or someth -

Wait What?!

Where did I get that idea from!

...no prize for guessing!

My hormones. As usual.
.....Well at least I have some.... thing to blame, for these random feelings, for this random hedgehog, I had met less then twelve hours ago.

'Uh..Amy?'
I shook my head, so that my hair whipped my face, and looked over at the owner of the voice. Cream was looking over at me, puzzled.
I blushed. I must of looked like an idiot, staring at Sonic, looking angry, while the bottle had stopped in front of......

Who?

I scanned the floor for it, feeling nervous.
...where was it?!

..How is it possible, to loose and empty coke bottle, in a small bedroom, in the middle of a circle of people?

But then I managed to find it!
...By my feet.

'You have to ask Silver now Amy!' cried Maria, clapping her hands excitedly.
Silver looked petrified.
...I felt really sorry for him...I knew how he must feel...

'OK..so, um...Truth or Dare?' I asked, trying to think of something that wasn't very embarrassing.

All eyes were on Silver.
His yellow eyes scanned the room, resting on Blaze for a minute. He looked back at me, and gulped.

'Dare'.

Shit!
I can never think of good dares! Why didn't the idiot choose truth?!

Because most boys are idiots....

Shadow was an exception...mainly because he didn't talk much...so I don't really know....never mind.

I suddenly remembered that I was going to have to think of a dare....ugh! I hate this game!

'Ummmm....I dare you too.....ummmm....'
I looked around the room for inspiration. My eyes fell on Blaze.

'Kiss..the girl you like the most in this room!' I cried.

He somehow went really pale, and blushed at the same time. He was opening and closing his mouth, like a goldfish.

...Ooops...now he was gonna hate me.

Why didn't I think before speaking?

Because I'm an idiot. That's why.

Knuckles chuckled, Marine pulled a face, Rouge actually cackled with laughter (she could make a very convincing witch with a pointy hat and cloak...), Cream went red (I couldn't help but smile. It must be embarrassing to have one of your friends kiss another one of your friends in your bedroom) and Sonic started to laugh, but when he saw Silver's face, he covered it up as a loud cough.

...Idiot....

Attractive though....

................

OH COME ON HORMONES! GIVE A GIRL A BREAK!
.................

Sorry for that random yelling....anyway.

Where was I?

Sonic was being an idiot, Tikal smiled knowingly, Cosmo and Tails were laughing, and Maria was jumping up and down, like a kid on Christmas. Shadow just rolled his eyes at our childish behavior....but he couldn't help but smile as he looked at Silver and then at Blaze.

Blaze just looked amused.

Silver gulped again.
'No! I won't...you can't....no!' he cried, shaking his head, voice higher then usual.
Rouge crawled over, and pinched him.
'Ow!' he exclaimed, rubbing his arm, glaring at Rouge. 'That hurt!'
'Good!' she replied, glaring. 'You have to do it Silver.....or will I hand you over to Maria?'

Silver paled even more. Maria started screeching with insane laughter.
'Ok! I'll do it! Just....don't give me to Maria!' he begged.
Rouge smiled, and patted his head.
'Excellent'.

Marine turned to face me, a smile on her face.
'Great dare mate!'

'Yeah!' everyone else told me (...except Silver, who was trying to avoid looking at Blaze)
I forced a smile.
'Thanks....' I said, uncertainly. 'I guess...' I added under my breath.

Can we just hurry up and get this game over with? The sooner it ends, the sooner the guys can leave! Well Silver and Shadow are ok, and Tails is quite sweet....Knuckles is a bit...yeah, and Charmy's kinda annoying and hyper...but I really want Sonic to leave! Then these confusing feelings will go away.....

Maybe I'm just sick.

That's it. I'll stay at Cream's, and hang out with the girls and after I've slept, I'll be fine!

As I was thinking all this, Silver was still trying to avoid looking at Blaze.
'Hurry up Silver!' cried Maria, who was looking fed up. 'I wanna see you kiss somebody!'

Shadow smiled, at Maria's behavior and kissed the top of her head. To my surprise, she started to blush. Not like me...when I blush my face goes tomato red. No, Maria looked pretty when she blushed. Just two small patches, of rose pink on her cheeks.
She kissed his cheek, and he smiled at her.

Cosmo, had gotten bored of watching Silver look at the ground, and had struck up a conversation with Tails. She kept flicking back her hair, and they were smiling shyly at each other.

Marine and Charmy had started arguing over football teams.
'Manchester United is the greatest!' she was telling him. Charmy kept shaking his head.
'No! Liverpool!' he argued.
'Man U!'
'Liverpool!'
'Man U!'

Cream, had gotten the magazine from off her bed back, and was reading it again.

Knuckles and Rouge had started arguing....about something.
Tikal was trying to stop them.

After a few minutes, Silver relaxed. It seemed like everyone had forgotten him.....until Maria looked over.
'Oh Silver! Please just kiss somebody!' she demanded, throwing her arms in the air and sounding ticked off.

I couldn't help but giggle. Maria is quite a character! She's funny, friendly and sweet, but also childish, hyper, cute and impatient.

Silver however, did not look like giggling. He looked like he wanted to run away, and lock himself in a cell for the rest of his life....

I can tell, because I often feel like that.

Silver looked down at the ground.
'I...I don't really like any of the girls here...I mean, I like you all....but I don't like like you......I like...somebody else who isn't here right now...' he said quietly, cheeks pink.

Ok, even I didn't buy that.

Shadow raised an eyebrow, and said something under his breath, which made Maria smile. Cream giggled (but from what I can tell, she does that a lot soo-oooo).
Cosmo, had her hands on her hips, and a look on her face which clearly said 'Really?'

In fact, Blaze was the only one who didn't really react. She looked interested, but she didn't act like she could see through his obvious lie.

Rouge sighed.

'Listen Silver, we need you to do this. The game has been a disaster so far.....not that Knuckles' reaction wasn't....interesting.....' she said, hesitantly, '....But we really need you to do this! Please just kiss somebody!'

Silver looked up at her.
For a few seconds there was silence.

Then an angry voice burst out.

'Oh for heavens sake!'
Blaze had jumped off the ground, eyes narrowed behind her glasses and looking annoyed.

'Silver's my best friend, okay? If the girl he likes isn't here, then I'll let him kiss me!'

I couldn't help but giggle at Silver's expression.

He looked like Christmas had come early, and was rolled up with his birthday.
...In other words, really, really, really happy.

Ecstatic.

He seemed speechless. He just nodded, and smiled at Blaze, who smiled back.
'Th...thanks Blaze....' he said.
'No problem Silver!' she replied, winking. 'But I wanna hear all about this girl you like later, kay?'

Silver blushed again, and nodded.
'Sure Blaze...I think you'll like her. She's like you....funny, smart, kind....'

Blaze grinned, showing off her perfect and pointy teeth.

'I like her already!' Blaze told him, making everyone laugh.

'Anyway, we've kissed before...' she added.

Wait WHAT?!?!

They kissed?!

Knuckles was looking at Silver, in disbelief.

Shadow and Rouge's mouths were hanging wide open.

Tikal looked ready to faint.

Maria yelled 'Oh....my....God....' and grabbed Shadow.

Cream was pinching her arm, eyes closed tight, as if trying to wake from a dream.

Tails and Cosmo were staring at each other, looking shocked.

Charmy and Marine had stopped going on about football, and were now looking from Blaze to Silver, as though unsure they had heared properly.

Sonic was smirking, and nudging Knuckles, in that 'nudge-knudge wink-wink' kind of way.

Which gets really annoying.

Blaze had gone pink, realizing what she had just said.
'I...I was at Silver's house and...neither of us had kissed anyone so we...we...'

'Snogged'. suggested Tikal, blinking innocently.

Blaze nodded.
'Yes we snogged...'

I bit my tounge, to stop myself from laughing out loud.

Unfortunately, neither Cream or Maria did that.

Cream began to giggle, but slapped a hand over her mouth to muffle the noises...but you could still tell she was laughing.

Or at least I could tell...I don't know about the others...

Maria started to laugh like a hyena on skittles and coke.

Silver hid his face in his hands, while Blaze went from pink to red.
'NO! No, we didn't snog....it was just a...a..a kiss!'

'Sure it was Blaze....' Sonic said, eyebrows raised and sarcasm dripping from his voice. She glared, but didn't say anything.

He's such a moron......

But a funny, kind, brave, attract -

.... I am not amused right now ...
Not. Amused.

'Well, what are you two waiting for?' Cream asked Blaze.
The hedgehog and cat gulped.

'Well....here goes...' she said nervously.
'Yeah....' replied Silver, trying not to look excited.

Neither of them noticed everyone take out phones.
Oh cool! They're going to take pictures!

I couldn't help but feel excited. In my old school, people would always take pictures or videos of people kissing and send them to their friends and other people. Nobody really liked me there, so I was never part of that. Ok, I'd find it weird having a picture of two people kissing on my phone....but I'll finally be in a crowd of people, and have something to talk about, be part of!

The last time that happened was in Primary School when we all played a prank on the teacher, involving a fake telephone call, duct tape and a bucket of cold water....it was fun but.....yeah. Not the same.

I couldn't wait to take the picture.....or a video!
Then I remembered my phone had no camera.

Excitement over....

The one chance I had, to feel like part of the crowd, and I lose it because of my phone!
How unfair is that?!

Maria saw my face, and smiled. 'Don't worry Amy, I'll send you the video....and the photo!'

Relief washed over me, like a wave.
'Thanks Maria.'

We turned our attention back to the cat and hedgehog.
They still hadn't done anything.
Silver was looking down at the ground, cheeks bright pink and Blaze was looking like she wanted to crawl into a hole and die.

Only because she feels weird kissing Silver in front of all of us! She likes him back...I can tell!

After a few more minutes, they still hadn't kissed.

I began to tap my fingers on the floor, feeling bored. Cream was pretending to read her magazine again, but her eyes kept wandering to the two friends who had to kiss. Knuckles was whispering in Rouge's ear, saying things that were making her blush......

I really don't want to know what he's saying to her....

Maria had taken a blue marker from Cream's desk, and was drawing swirls and stars all over her arm. Shadow was just sitting, watching her do it with a smile on his face.

I know is going to sound really corny and stupid.....but I hope my (arranged) husband loves me like Shadow loves Maria.....you can just see that he'd do anything for her.
It's so cute.

Blaze and Silver were still staring at each other, doing nothing.

'Well...' Blaze whispered. 'We better get this over with...'

Everyone stopped what they were doing, and held up their phones. Maria threw the marker across the room, so it hit Marine. She didn't seem to mind much.

Silver nodded, and the two stood up. The male hedgehog, put his arms around Blaze's waist, and she stretched her arms around his neck. They closed their eyes, and leaned in closer to each other.

Everyone gasped, as the hedgehog and cat's lips met.

Maria jumped up and went 'Whoo hoo!' which made everyone laugh.

...Except Silver and Blaze....they were....busy.

The two of them hadn't stopped kissing. Quite the opposite actually....

They were kissing fiercely, as if they were glued together. Soft moans escaped Blaze's mouth, and the two began to slowly move towards the floor, until they were kneeling down.

Okay...I feel really awkward watching this.

I think Cream did too.

She went to the CD Player, and turned the volume way up, as some singer sang a high note.

'Agggh!' we yelled, and we covered our ears. Silver and Blaze suddenly jumped apart, as if they had been scalded, and turned bright red.

Maria and Rouge clapped.
'Well done Silver! You completed the dare!' they exclaimed.

Silver didn't seem to hear....he was to busy not looking at Blaze....and Blaze was busy not looking at Silver.
Basically, they were both too busy not looking at each other.

Knuckles snatched up the bottle.
'Lets play some more!' he yelled, eyes glinting. He looked over at Charmy who gulped when he saw the red echidna's grin and glinting eyes.
He could tell he wasn't being friendly. He still wanted payback.

We all went back to our places in the circle. Blaze flopped down beside Marine instead of sitting beside Silver. Marine tipped her head over at Silver, and winked at the cat. Blaze glared, but her cheeks when pink again, and she didn't say anything.

Knuckles set the bottle in the center of the circle, and spun it around.

Round, and round, and round, and round, and round and round it spun.

.....It was beginning to make me sleepy....
I had to bite my tongue to stop myself yawning.

The bottle stopped at Marine. She turned to Shadow.
'Truth or Dare mate?!' she asked, tail flicking back and forth.

'Truth.' he said right away, sounding bored.
Marine nodded, and drummed he fingers on the floor. She looked thoughtful, like she was thinking.

The raccoon snapped her fingers and smirked.
'Okay! If you were a girl, which guy in the room would you date?!'

Everyone laughed, except Shadow and Maria. Shadow's muzzle had turned blood red, which went with his stripes. Maria looked serious and stony faced....
....which was strange to see, as she was always smiling and laughing.

Shadow saw her, smiled, and ruffled her hair so it stuck up all over the place.

If a guy had done that to me, I'd probably bite their face off. Not Maria. She beamed, as if Shadow had given her a brilliant compliment, and squeezed one of his gloved hands.

'We're waiting Shadow!' Marine said, now standing up and tapping her foot impatientley. Shadow sighed, then smirked.
'I'd date Shadow!'

I found that very funny, and smart.
I laughed, along with Cream and Maria. Cosmo chuckled, and so did Tails and Tikal.

Rouge and Marine looked pissed.

'C'mon mate! Do it properly!' Marine growled. Rouge glared at him.

'But he did!' Maria insisted, hands on hips.
'Maria's right!' I piped up.

All heads turned to me, looking slightly surprised.

...I probably shouldn't of said that...

Crap! Now Sonic's looking at me!

I swallowed, and looked down at the ground, pretending to see something fascinating on the floor.
..Which is hard to do with a floor....

I decided to continue.
'You said a guy in the room. Shadow is a guy in the room sooooo....yeah.'

Silence.

Then I heard a strange noise.
Cream was laughing, with a hand over her mouth. She was obviously trying to hide her giggles, but she had failed.
Then, Charmy and Cosmo joined in. Then Tikal. Then Maria. Then Tails. Then Silver and Shadow. Then Blaze. Then Rouge, Knuckles and Marine.

And finally me.

Soon we were all rolling around the floor laughing.

'Wh...what's s - so f..funny Cream?!' Tails cried out, still laughing.

The young rabbit kept laughing.
'I don't know!'

That made us all laugh even more. My sides were actually starting to ache.

When we finally stopped laughing, Rouge took the bottle back and spun it.

Charmy dared Cream to let Maria apply make up on her blindfolded. Cream went pale at the idea, but nodded.
Maria was very excited, and was a little too enthusiastic with the lipstick and eyeshadow....

Cream looked a mess afterwards. Her face looked like it had been scribbled on, by a two year old, using scarlet and barbie pink lipstick. Eyeshadow and blusher had been streaked across her cheeks and forehead. The mascara and eyeliner was in the right place, but used so much that it looked like Cream had to large, hairy spiders sitting on her eyes.

Tails was asked if he liked any girl by Tikal. He said yes, but wouldn't say who.

As if I don't know who he likes....

Knuckles was dared to sing the 'Barbie Girl' song, with dance moves.
...which was hilarious!

Poor Cream looked like she wanted to cry with laughter, but didn't want to make an even bigger mess of the make up.

Maria was dared to make out with any boy in the room excluding Shadow by Blaze. The blond hedgehog refused point-blank to do it, even though Shadow assured her he was fine with it.

As a forfeit, she had to take off her underwear - including bra! - and wave it around in the air.

Which she agreed to do.
I was surprised that she was willing to show off her underwear to the room - which had six boys in it
Her underwear was bright red and yellow striped, with white spots and black stars all over it and a matching bra.

Cream looked at a drawer in the wardrobe, and back at Maria's underwear with evident jealousy in her eyes.

That drawer was probably her underwear drawer .... she was probably still wearing a white bra or crop top and normal knickers.

Next, Rouge was asked how far she had gone by Cosmo. If one of the boys, Blaze or Marine had asked her, she would probably of eaten them alive ... but Cosmo managed to look adorable, with her big blue eyes blinking innocently.
The white bat sighed, then announced that she hadn't yet gone all the way. Knuckles looked slightly relived.

I think he wants to be her first.....

... OH GOD! NOW I CAN'T GET THE IMAGE OF THEM DOING ... IT ... OUT OF MY HEAD!

I decided to think of other, nicer thoughts.

Chocolate cake, Summer, friends, Sonic, roses -

Wait, wait, wait ... back up a minute.

Sonic?! Again?!

......There are no words to describe how angry I am right now.

After a few more spins, the bottle landed at Shadow.....

Now it's my turn.

Oh happy, happy day.

'So Amy....truth or dare?' he asked me, grinning.

I began to feel hot and uncomfortable as everyone looked at me, eagerly waiting for my answer. I looked at them all, trying to skim past Sonic - but then I saw him mouthing something.

Now I'm curious....

I look at him, out of the corner of my eye. It looks like 'Don't choose....truth.'

Strange....but.....
I would probably choose dare anyway.

I give him a tiny nod, to show him I understand, then turn all my attention back to Shadow.

'Dare.'
