==Synopsis==
"Alright guys. I'm organizing a masquerade ball. You can buy your masks and outfits from Vanilla. She's working as a cashier." Shade told everyone at breakfast.
"This is going to be amazing!" Rouge said. 
Amy bought a golden mask and pink and black dress. Rouge bought a silver mask and an identical dress. Cream bought a cream-colored mask and dress. Blaze bought a black dress and purple mask. The guys all bought tuxes with different colored ties in them: Blue for Sonic; black for Shadow; yellow for Tails; red for Knuckles; and white for Silver.
"Thanks for buying everything guys! I really needed the money." Vanilla told them.
That night was full of excitement. 
"Are you okay?" Blaze asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Rouge can have Shadow. He's a free agent." Amy said.
"I know you don't really believe that." Cream said.
"Let's go." Amy said. 
They all walked to the ball together. Silver was talking to Blaze.
"Guess what? I switched bands on Shade. Now, instead of classical, it's heavy metal!" Silver told Blaze.
"Why would you do that?" Blaze asked.
"To impress you." Silver said.
"Stuff like that doesn't impress people." Blaze told him.
"Yeah, well, where I come from, there's not a lot of socializing." Silver said.
"I'm going for a quick walk, okay Cream?" Amy told her. Amy handed Cream her mask.
Amy walked to the library. She noticed the door was ajar, and went inside to investigate. There was someone in a black hoodie looking at all the exhibits, and taking pictures.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Amy asked.
The person in the hoodie ran off, and Amy tried chasing after the person. Then, she saw the person run into a bookcase, and disappear! Amy looked closer, and saw that the bookcase led into a tunnel. Then, she saw a crocodile being used as a platform, and remembered a similar looking platform in the tunnels.
"I have to tell Blaze and Shadow." Amy said.
Meanwhile, Silver and Blaze were hitting it off. They were talking about their lives as anti-social children, and their great responsibilities. 
"So...you wanna dance?" Silver asked. Blaze smiled!
"Sure." she replied, taking his hand. Turns out the heavy metal band couldn't make it, so Beta turned on the radio. 
Then, Rouge saw Cream place Amy's mask on a table. Rouge grabbed it, and put on her jacket hood. She walked up to Shadow, and tapped him on the shoulder. Shadow, thinking it was Amy, smiled.
"I've been thinking. We got it all wrong." Shadow said. Rouge nodded. They leaned in, and kissed. Then, Amy walked in, and saw them kissing. Shadow broke away, and saw Amy. Amy looked at him in disbelief.
Rouge took off her hood and mask. She was smirking.
"What are you doing?!" Shadow asked.
"What?" Rouge asked. "You kissed back."
Amy was shaking her head, and crying. Blaze saw her crying, and ran to comfort her.
"What happened?" Blaze asked.
"They...they....and then...." Amy said.
"Wait, what?!" Blaze exclaimed.
"Shadow kissed Rouge!" Amy said. "Don't tell him I'm going back to the House. I need to be alone."
She ran off. Then, Shadow came into the hallway.
"You! Why did you do that to Amy?!" Blaze asked, slapping him.
"It was an accident!" Shadow said.
"Fell on Rouge's lips, did you?!" Blaze exclaimed.
"I can explain everything, I just need to talk to Amy!" Shadow said.
"She's..."Blaze said. "In the bathroom."
Shadow ran to it. 
"You are not going into the girl's bathroom, not now, not ever!" Blaze said.
"She's in danger. I dreamt that this night happened, and the spirit pushed her into the pit!" Shadow said.
"Fine. She went to the tunnels." Blaze told him.
"We have to go!" Shadow exclaimed."Chaos Control!" They teleported to the House.
"Lucky you had a chaos emerald." Blaze said. They ran through the tunnels, eager to catch up to Amy. Amy ran to the pit, and almost fell in. Luckily, Shadow saved her.
"Thanks..." Amy said. "But I'm still mad at you."
"I'm sorry. I thought it was you." Shadow said.
"Oh.."Amy replied. 
"Nevermind that now." Blaze said. "Why'd you come into the tunnels?"
"I know how to make it across." Amy said. "We have to make the crocodile beam fall on that ledge over there." Amy motioned to the beam on the wall. Shadow saw a lever, and pulled it. The crocodile fell near the ledge.
"I think we need help..."Shadow said.
"It's time to get the Group back together!" Amy said.
"I'll think about it...." Blaze said.
