Loud horns blared as they stood in line, being incredibly bored as Sonic and Mario looked to each other, secretly knowing what will end up happening when they got back to their room. Everyone pretended to get along nicely, and the ceremony drew to a close.

Marklin slammed into the dorm after saying a good night to Jasper. He tripped over two forms and shot up.

"I'm so sorry why are you two on the floor!" Marklin peeped, he scooped them up and they unfurled. Eggman grunted.

"Where else are they going to sleep." Eggman said from the table.

"You can't make them sleep on the floor!" Marklin yelled, holding them tight.

"Wow grandpa Mark you sure do hug tight!" Cubot sang.

"Yes, Great Uncle Marklin, you have quite the grip but can we please be let down, your fur can get into our fans." Orbot said politely.

"Of course boys." Marklin put them down and patted their heads. Eggman rolled his eyes. "Now what else do you two need?" Marklin asked.

"Well it would be nice to have a charging plug, but all the plugs in the room are taken." Orbot said gently.

"Well we could unplug the TV and the land line so you two can charge." Marklin said.

"But what if I want to watch 'The Bachelorette- Station Square Edition' later!" Eggman called, Marklin slapped him over the head. "Hey!"

"You can spare some TV for your children young man!" Marklin called, he unplugged the TV and the phone, letting the two Robots plug in. They went to curl up on the floor. "Go sleep on the couch."

Orbot and Cubot both perked up, they rushed the couch, and cuddled into each other, happily smiling and buzzing as they settled into recharging mode cuddled together. Marklin went to his bed and laid down, a glare at Eggman.

"Come on, man! Chili dogs are my thing! Go eat some spaghetti or something!" Sonic stared at the chili dog in the plumber's hand.

Mario smirked and took a bite of the food. Sonic felt his soul crash as he fell to the floor dramatically, holding back tears. Mario laughed.

"Why must you ruin everything I love!?" Sonic cried out dramatically. "What's next, taking Shadow away from me!?"

"Why would I do that isn't that illegal, never mind your a dumb kid, anyways, WATCH ME FEIST ON YOUR SALVATION!" Mario called.

"NOOOOOOOO!" Sonic called out in agony.

Mario laughed as he finished the Chilli dog.

Sonic cried out, the noise bouncing off the walls as he pretended to die. "Tell Shadow... that I love him! And that he's not aloud to marry anyone else or I'll come back from the grave and kick his ass!" and then he 'died.'

"I am the victor! I shall rule over Sega with an iron fist!" Mario put a foot on Sonic's chest and gloated.

"Just don't make any crappy games! I don't want Tails to deal with all of that." Sonic coughed out.

"Ha ha! I will only let you publish on my lowest rig, and only half finished games with infinite glitch power!" Mario exclaimed.

"NOOOOOOO!" Sonic cried out. "I'M SORRY TAILS!"

Mario laughed until he started to cough. Sonic smirked. "What? Too old to even laugh?"

Mario put his weight on his foot, he smirked at Sonic. Sonic coughed and sputtered. "H-Hey! Come on! I'm just joking with ya!" Mario finally let up, and puffed.

"Can't take the pressure kid."

"I'm EiGhTeEn!" Sonic voice cracked as he said that.

"Yes, TEEN." Mario voiced back.

"I'm an adult now!" Sonic argued. "I'm not a kid!" Mario puffed and walked away.

"You still act a like a kid for one!" Mario called.

Sonic gasped offendedly as he sat up. "Well, I'd rather act young instead of like an old man of whom's only job is to save the same princess over and over!"

"Ok first of all-"

~~~~

Shadow felt the growing urge to murder the princess of the mushroom kingdom as he was dragged by her.

"It's not hell- wait. Hey Daisy!" Peach yelled, Daisy looked over.

"Yeah Peach!" Daisy called back.

"Come shopping with me and Shadow, and bring your roomie!"

Shadow glared to Peach. "I never agreed to this."

"Oh well." Peach snorted, Daisy ran over, dragging along Jasper. Shadow looked to Jasper empathetically. Jasper looked at him with a sad broken expression, praying to be saved.

"Alright! Let's get started!" Daisy exclaimed.

"And why do Jasper and I have to partake in this?" Shadow growled out.

"Because it's fun!" Peach said highly.

"This activity is anything but fun." Shadow crossed his arms. "Why did you even drag me here, princess?"

"Because if you are Sonic's partner, you are gonna have to get along with me." Peach hissed.

Shadow glared at her, a deep growl forming in the back of his throat. "I wouldn't get along with you if Sonic himself told me to."

"It is the Olympics, if you don't get along with me, how will it look?" Peach sneered. Shadow kept his glare on her but didn't reply.

"So, uh, where to first then?" Jasper stuttered out trying to get the night over with.

"Oh! Look at that dress shop over there!" Daisy squealed as she pointed to it.

"Oh I bet we can all find a nice dress!" Peach called, she stormed the store. Shadow felt like he was going to gag as he and Jasper were dragged into the store by Daisy.

Peach immediately started to look through the dresses. "Hey Daisy what about this?" Peach pulled out a dress and showed it to her.

"That's perfect!" Daisy squealed as she went to look for another one.

Jasper stood to the side, trying to disappear to no avail.

"How about this for Shadow?" Peach asked, pulling out an atrocious dress with a skirt cage that could give Russia a run for its money. [AN Fire: Well Russian is no longer an olympics thing so, uhh, Canada?]

The moment Shadow heard his name with the sight of a dress, he took off running, trying to get away from this scene.

"Don't leave me!" Jasper called. Peach, somehow, was at the door to stop him.

"It won't hurt you, it's just a dress, ultimate life form." Peach growled. Shadow stared at the dress, then to Peach, a far away look in his eyes. "Come on, one try." Peach squealed.

Shadow, ears pinned down, looked away and slowly nodded. "Fine...."

Peach smiled and dragged him off to a dressing room. Shadow gave Jasper a desperate look of need as he was dragged in. Daisy squealed, "He's going to look so cute!"

"Yeah." Jasper laughed uneasily, watching Shadow be dragged away. Daisy was about to say more, but she had found a dress that just made her squeal louder.

Jasper inhaled deeply. Suddenly Peach reappeared.

"Make way for Shadow!" She called.

Shadow debated if he should actually walk out but ended up doing so, muzzle a red brighter than his eyes.

"You look great!" Peach called, patting him on the back.

Jasper stared at Shadow, sympathy boiling over. Shadow kept his eyes glued to the floor.

"Aw, he's so cute!" Daisy smiled brightly.

"I know, now we have to find everyone else a dress!" Peach called, going back to the dresses. Daisy searched through dress after dress until-

"Peach! This one is perfect for Jasper, don't you think!?" She called, showing the other the dress.

"It most certainly IS!" Peach called, Jasper died.

"I'm fine, I really am I don't need-" Jasper started to back up.

"Nonsense!" Daisy said, grabbing the other's arm and dragging him into the dressing room. Shadow watched as they left, but otherwise did nothing.

You could hear Jaspers muted yells and screams of protest.

"Do you think he doesn't like dresses?" Peach stated.

"Of course he doesn't like dresses!" Shadow snapped at her.

"Why not, they are fun, you even like dresses sometimes." Peach cheered.

Shadow looked at her, not amused. "Before I even begin to explain, the only reason I will willingly wear a dress is-" he stopped himself, shaking his head. "Nevermind." he then sighed. "Jasper is trans. I don't think he would want to be shoved back into a dress."

At that cue, Jasper stumbled out of the dressing room, looking seconds from puking and passing out.

"He doesn't look that bad!" Peach said, Jasper started to shake as he started to laugh. "See he's laughing."

Shadow's ears jutted back, shooting a glare to Peach before walking to Jasper. "Go back into that dressing room and change. You don't have to wear this dress."

Jasper nodded, still not in control of his laugh, and sprinted back into the dressing room. Shadow crossed his arms as he looked back to the two princesses. "His laughter is crying and his crying is laughter."

"That's dumb how does that even work." Peach sneered.

"It doesn't matter how it works; you have to respect it." Shadow hissed out. Jasper now stumbled back out, no longer in the dress and looking a little better, but not good. Shadow looked to Jasper and simply nodded before turning his attention back to the girls. "Now, are we done here?"

"Fine, if you want to leave sooooo bad."

"It would be better for us all if we do." Shadow crossed his arms, which was quite a feat, as the dress was so poofy. He sighed as he went to change. Peach sighed. Shadow walked out, finally rid of the dress.

"Well, let's move on to the next store then." Jasper stumbled, almost recovered but just wanting to leave.

"There's this really great restaurant nearby!" Daisy exclaimed.

"Ohh, let's go!" Peach called.

And so, they all followed Daisy to an Italian restaurant.
