Peanut Butter and JELLY

Coffee Beans - Chapter 2

Tails was in his room, waiting for Sonic to come home. Tails lost all hope, it was almost 9 P.M. He ate a peanut butter sandwich because he couldn't really cook. After dinner, Tails crawled into his bed. He read, invented, cleaned, and waited, but now he was tired. The house was still, the only sound was the dishwasher running. He slowly sighed, and cried a little. He was annoyed and bored all day long, but most of all, he felt forgotten and replaced. Shadow, who is Sonic's enemy, is rapidly, yet slowly becomeing Sonic's everything. Is there room for Tails?

Just as Tails was shutting his eyes the door opened. Tails eyes bolted open, he hoped it was Sonic. He jumped out of bed and ran for his bedroom door, but before he opened the door, he heard a fimilar voice. Shadow.

Shadow spoke quietly, "Sorry that got out of hand." Shadow chuckled nervously, "I promise, that's not what I intended to happen."

"I know, besides I had fun." Sonic cheered. "Tails is probably asleep, so make sure not to yell."

"Yeah... let's head to bed before he wakes up. Also, do you have any coffee beans?" Shadow asked.

"Umm... yeah, I can make you some coffee before you wake up." Sonic answered.

"No, not coffee. Just the beans." Shadow corrected.

"Ok...?" Sonic sounded confused, "If that's what you want."

"Thanks, anyway, lets head to bed."

"Yeah."

Tails heard there voices stop. He was horrified, Sonic? Shadow? Sleeping together? Yuck! Tails thought. Though he had an idea. Tails had remembered Sonic talking about coffee beans. Tails opened the door and carefully tip toed across the house. He ended up in the kitchen. He went into the pantry, and grabbed the coffee beans. He knew exactly what to do.

Tails opened a drawer in the kitchen, it was Sonic's secret food drawer. Tails plan was simple, 1) Shadow gets angry that there's no coffee beans. 2) Sonic gets more. 3) Get Shadow to get into the drawer. 4) Shadow finds the coffee beans, and gets angry at Sonic for lieing to him. 5) They break up. Happily ever after.

Tails dropped the beans in, he gave a quiet evil laugh.

-In the morning-

Tails woke up, he lifted the sheets, and walked out of the room. He spotted Sonic and Shadow looking around.

"I swear! I know we had some!" Sonic panicked and looked everywhere. Shadow grabbed Sonic's hand, and looked him straight in the eye.

"Sonic it's fine, I can just grab some." Shadow stated calmly, Sonic calmed down too.

"I can grab them bye!!!" Sonic yelled in a dash, he was already gone. Tails and Shadow made eye contact.

"So, how was Sonic last night? You didn't do anything bad right?" Tails questioned.

Shadow threw his hands up and glared at the fox, "Of course not! And Sonic was good, thank you." Shadow growled.

"You're not worth Sonic's time, I know you Shadow. You just want to kill Sonic, when he least expects it!!! And you want to get rid of me!" Tails yelled. What was shocking was Shadow didn't get angry, he was smart. He knew how to piss Tails off.

"Yeah, like he wants to spend time with a 5 year old. What do you know? I wouldn't kill Sonic, but you might annoy Sonic to death." Shadow snarled, "You should maybe realize that I know more the you, but I know you're trying your best." Shadow patted Tails in the head. Tails's fur was turning yellow to bright red.

Sonic ran through the door, with a bag of coffee beans, and a little rose. "Here you go!" Sonic handed Shadow the stuff. Shadow hugged Sonic.

"Thanks, lover." Shadow empithized the word "lover". Tails just scoffed.

"So, have you told the others yet? Or, am I the only person who knows?" Tails asked. The couple broke apart, Sonic smiled.

"No... not yet. I trust you, but I want to give a little more time. Once we both feel comfortable, we'll spill the beans." Sonic answered. Then, Sonic got a call from Amy, telling him that Eggman was fighting.

"ME, and Sonic, are gonna fight Eggman, Shadow." Tails empithized the word "me". Shadow glared.

"Shadow, we'll be back, then we can pick out a movie or something." Sonic got a little kiss from Shadow

"Be safe." Shadow said, but Sonic and Tails were yet again, out of the door.

-Later-

Shadow and Sonic were snuggled up, both ready for the movie. Tails was on the oppisite side of the couch. Sonic was getting the movie ready, but then Tails remembered the plan.

"SONIC!!! WAIT!!! We have to have snacks!" Tails exclaimed.

"You're right, I'll get the snacks-" Tails cut off Sonic.

"No, you finish getting the movie ready, Shadow can get them." Tails turned to Shadow, "They are in the drawer, under the counter." Tails directed. Shadow got up, he walked over the the area. He found the drawer. When he opened it up, he grabbed chips.

"Wait... Is this coffee beans?" Shadow thought out loud. "Hey Sonic, I found the coffee beans they were in here the entire time." Shadow called. Sonic looked up and facebalmed.

"Of course, how could I forget?" Sonic called. Shadow came back with chips. He picked up Sonic and placed him on his lab. They all started watching the movie. Dang it! Got to think smarter next time. Tails thought. It was gonna take a lot more to break up the two.
