The Prince and the Frog {SONADOW}

Chapter - 16

Author's Note:

I was planning to discontinue but seeing you all continue to love this hot trash of a story (in my opinion) I think it wouldn't be right to discontinue it. I made that unceremonious announcement in the new story but I think I'll just continue it till the end for you all. I'm glad you all love this story. Please enjoy!)

Also fun fact: I actually have a cat named Sonic and he's almost 2 years old now!

—-------------------------------------------------------

The food was finally done and the group was with bits and pieces of chatter. Shadow was amazed by the flavor of the food that Sonic had cooked for them. It was made from the wild vegetables around them but it tasted like it was crafted by god in his opinion. He glanced over at Sonic who glanced at him. They locked eyes for only a few seconds before looking away quickly in embarrassment. They both have the same thought, 'What the fuck is wrong with me?!' Thankfully before they could explore further, they heard an excited squeal from their friend Tails who finally finished relieving Knuckles of the cursed barbed seeds, after giving the gator a good scolding, looking at the sky pointing to a star. "It's her! It's Cosmo!" The others looked up and now understood what Tails had meant before.

"Kid, that's a st-", and before Knuckles could correct the young firefly, a bowl was chucked at his head and bounced off. He winced from impact and turned to glare at the offender who was Sonic hushing the large gator.

The trio stared at Tails being completely lovestruck by the North star. Sonic smiled a little, letting the little guy have this. Knuckles rolled his eyes while Shadow looked unimpressed. Tails began serenading which caused all three to flinch.

Tails was definitely in love no doubt about it.

Shadow had to admit, the kid could sing. And such a lovely song too. Some of the words were even in his native tongue which he unconsciously translated without warning causing his blue companion to turn to him with a questioning gaze. Shadow only scoffed and explained that he was merely translating but he did feel the need to dance.

Sonic tilted his head but then panicked when Shadow abruptly got up and grabbed Sonic by the waist and held him close. Sonic was so flustered that he pushed the dark male away and hopped onto a lily pad.

"I...I never danced..." he hesitantly admitted. Shadow rolled his eyes and hopped next to Sonic and grabbed him again. "Based on your personality, I figured. But if I can mince, then you can dance. And that's saying something." He said as Sonic just pouted from the statement. He was unsure if it was an encouragement or a direct insult. So, he let his dark companion grab his webbed hand and lead him in a dance. After a bit of awkward moving and apologizing for stepping on the other male's toes - which was met with no complaints - Sonic was starting to enjoy it. They both danced to the point it was second nature in each other's arms with some lighting provided by their young friend who noticed their dance and decided to help out a bit.

Shadow then dipped Sonic and he stared in awe as he watched Sonic chuckle with his bright, carefree smile and shining green eyes. The mood felt just right, and the dark prince thought so too. He leaned in unconsciously and so did the one in his arms. Before their lips could touch, Sonic remembered the deal and reluctantly stopped it in time. He chuckled awkwardly and patted Shadow's chest as the prince looked at Sonic confused and even a little...hurt? Sonic shook his head thinking he was imagining it. "Ahem...Amy will get one hell of a dance partner..." he backed away and took the other male's arms off his waist and brought them back forward away from himself.

"We...we best get going Shads - I mean, Prince Shadow..." he muttered. He hopped away a disheartened frog prince. Hearing Sonic address him by his title brought them back to reality and seemed more so worried that he addressed him in that manner. He's never done it before which is concerning.

While he sighed in defeat, he looked at the water and noticed a shadow claw slowly reaching for him. It was too late when he was suddenly dragged like a sack of rotten potatoes across the land of the bayou shouting. "SONIC!" Said frog turns quickly in shock and sees him being dragged by the demonic looking shadows that are no doubt created by the voodoo man Scrouge. Sonic quickly hopped after him along with Tails and Knuckles who were also alerted by the prince's cry. Before he gets too far however, the shadow creature disappears from being hit by a sudden blast of light along with its companions or more like 'coworkers'. Shadow fell into the water and came back up for air wondering what the Louisiana hell was that.

All four heard someone coming closer cursing under their breath. Once the smoke cleared, a lavender colored Mobian cat came to view with a pair of shades and a scowl on her face. She sighs and finally speaks as though she lost several years. "Well, looks like I haven't lost my touch in my 195 years of living. Now which dumbass thought it was a good idea to make a deal with the shadow man. Speak up, now." She hissed out turning her head towards them as if she could see them. Sonic , Knuckles and Tails all pointed to the dark frog while looking away. Shadow glared at them knowingly.

Fucking snitches.
