Fish-e: Hello!

Amy: HI!

Liz: Why are you pink?

Patty: OOOOOOH look! All the animals are funny colored! Especially the blue blurry thing!

Amy: What did you just call my Sonic?

Liz: Nothing! She didn't call him anything!

Fish-e: I don't own anything but the story.

A Returning Friend

They were racing. They always raced. Always. It was routine; they'd eat breakfast, try not to get on Amy's nerves, hangout with Tails or Knuckles, maybe fight, eat lunch, try not to get on Amy's nerves, then race. However today instead of being neck and neck Shadow was behind, he was distracted.

"Hey Shad! Feeling a little sluggish are we?" Sonic had turned around and was now running backwards, obviously trying to annoy Shadow. He got a grunt and a glare in return.

Now this made Sonic scared, Shadow had indicated that Sonic should drop it. Sonic usually wouldn't listen and just keep bugging the person however this was Shadow, and if you bugged Shadow you'd probably be found in some remote location 'not alive'. So he turned around again and headed for the end of the finish line.

Shadow was distracted for one reason and one reason alone; he smelled something. It was an odd smell, sort of metallic, he was sure he'd smelled it before but he couldn't remember where he'd smelled it exactly. Then he remembered.

"Sonic," Sonic responded to his name simply by glancing over his shoulder (obviously scared that Shadow was mad,), "I smell blood."

Sonic almost fell over.

X0X

Blaze was confused, one second she was in another dimension, containing the Iblis, when she'd felt something. Sort of like a tug.

She'd shrugged it off.

That's when she'd really felt it. And she instantly recognized it.

The Master Emerald.
