(Shadow's P.O.V)

I was drifting awake as I felt something warm on my chest. I wanted to open my eyes, but I was still tired. But then I remembered! 

'CRYSTAL!' 

She must be still tied up. I slowly but hurriedly opened my eyes to find what was up on my chest. "Crystal......?" I mumbled all confused. 'Was it a dream?' I looked around to find the others cuddled up with someone else. 'Odd...' I then felt Crystal nuzzled deeper in my chest mumbling something. 'So. Freaking. Cute.' I decided to pull her closer, not wanting to lose her, and hoping this wasn't another dream. 

'Smell her hair...' 

'WHAT?!?!? No!!!' 

But I subconsciously sniffed. 'Dang it. Wait is that.... cherry blossom?' It smelled good and all but what a rare scent to have on. I rested my head in the crook of her neck, taking in more of her scent. Man is she short.... 

"Shadow...." 

I jumped a little when I heard my name. 

"Yea...?"

"Are you up?" 

'....' "No......?" >.> 

"Good, cause I didn't want you to know...." 

'The Heck?' 

"Know what?" 

"That I......" 

"You what?" 

"GOT YOU ON CAMERA!!!!" I let go of Crystal, jumping up to find my annoying sister. "What the actual heck!?!?!?!" I yelled whispered at her. "I finally got some black mail..." She said turning away from me. I was so close to flipping her off. "Um, by the way.... did you happen to have that scary dream about Crystal?" "You Too?" 

This is getting scary now. I felt something on my shirt. "Huh?" I was then immediately pulled down. "Cold...." Thank goodness it was just Crystal, and she was still asleep. AND HOW THE HECK CAN SHE BE COLD WITH WHAT SHE IS WEARING!?!?!? I looked up at Alicia. 

"So....." I slyly smirked, "How was your cuddle session?" "STFU!!!" She then turned from me and went out the room. Soon everyone was getting up, either blushing or pushing each other away. "Uh....?" I looked down at my lap to see Crystal waking up and looking confused. "Shadow?" "Yea... You ok?" 

She then went wide-eyed and blushed badly while quickly getting up and out of my lap. "S-S-Sorry..." She stuttered. "So was all that a dream?" Chris called out to everyone. "I guess..." Sonic answered back. "But that's weird if everyone had the same dream..." Nickey blurted out. Then we all turned to Crystal. 

"Crystal? Was it?" Moon asked. She just stared to fidget a bit while holding her face. "Huh?" Chris asked, since she was mumbling. "I said please don't be mad at me...." She whispered this time. I stood up, "What do you mean mad at you?" There was guilt in her eyes before she said it. "IT WAS ALL A PRANK!!!!" She closed her eyes while we all gaped at her. 

"That..... Prank.... Was..... AWESOME!!!!" Both Dawn and Noah said high fiving each other. "What?!?! No!!!! Crystal that prank was not cool!!!" Amilia scrolled at the boys and Crystal like a mother. A part of me wanted to strangle her in a head lock for scaring me half to death, but the other was just relieved and happy she was ok. 

"But I had my reason.... You guys left me by myself..... and that wasn't fair......" Everyone started to feel really guilty after that. She was right, she won fair and square. "So I decided that if you want a scary movie then I would put you in one in real life......" I was amazed how smart she was to plan it all, but one question remained. "Who was that dark figure?" Sonic asked, reading my mind. "Oh! That was Aquaa!" She smiled a bit. 

"How did he knock us out?" "Now that's a secret!" "Awwww." Sonic's head went down in disappointment. "So you're not mad?" We all looked at each other. "Of course not little one! Upset a bit that you scared us half to death, but happy to know you're ok! Plus that prank seems genius!" Alicia said, patting her on the back. "Yea you need to hang out with us more." Dawn said while looking at Noah. 

I just shook my head. Some of us started to laugh until we heard a growling sound. "Sorry.... I guess I'm a little hungry." Crystal blushed as her stomach growled again. "Ok.... a lot hungry..." That made everyone laugh more while I sighed and shook my head. After breakfast everyone started to head home. "Hey Moon, Shadow, and Crystal, want to hang later or something?" Chris asked stopping us at the door. We just nodded. "Cool. Meet you guys at the park." He closed the door as we walked home. 

Another long day ahead of us.....
