Note: Not the best, merely a test to see if I want to write a Sonic Fanfiction for NaNoWriMo. So folks, want me to attempt a 50,000 word Sonic story? Taking ideas on pairings for this.

"We need to get outta here."

"Brilliant deduction, now unless you have any actual ideas, stay quiet."

Three hours, twenty minutes and gradually increasing seconds had so far passed the two hedgehogs by between their initial capture and the current time, one swearing blind that it was the others fault while said other claimed this was all going to plan. So far this grand 'plan' had led to a cage and a slight dip in the flooring which happened to be growing with each step that a certain blue creature happened to make, while it was both annoying to see and hear the constant back and forth motion, Shadow did have to admit to musing about the groove eventually becoming the escape route they needed. Of course that would only be an admission to his own mind, and such a thing would only happen if Sonic kept at a constant enough pace without the pauses for whining and/or complaining.

Two quick steps, one long stride, an overly dramatic spin on the spot, two more steps. The black hedgehog ticked off the makeshift observation checklist in his mind, just waiting for that little break which would signal the other's need to express something no doubt obvious and provide very little in terms of solving the matter.

"They could've given us something to sleep on."

Ah, right on cue. Shadow must have made a clear enough visual sign of displeasure for the other to notice, for there quickly followed a short string of taps with an exaggerated sigh to accompany the heavy footwork away from the rutted area. So help the darker furred hedgehog if that guy followed his other pattern of storming off to think up some ways to get rid of his boredom, there would be no provoking in this limited space if he wanted to come out of it in one near perfect condition.

"Hey are y- "

"I recall telling you to be silent unless you have a way out of this."

Sonic huffed and seemed to puff himself out just slightly before resigning himself to a corner, if speaking wasn't allowed then he'd simply stare the other out for the time being. Surely Tails or Knuckles or, well he couldn't really say anyone would help Shadow but someone had to be coming to help him out. There's was only so much he could do in the small enclosed space, and if Shadow wasn't going to react then that limited those ideas right down. Eyes remained fixated on the back of the other's skull, Sonic could practically see the veins popping and a fuse starting to burn up.

"Stop staring."

Perfect. Annoy him, get one of those blasts aimed at the doorway, and make a break. Brilliant back-up plan if Sonic did say so himself. Three hours, thirty minutes, they'd only have to start rushing when it came up to four hours. Not that the blue hedgehog would tell Shadow that they had a time limit on this thing.

No, where was the fun in being caught if you couldn't play things risky?
