Chapter 1 – Idea, Deal, Ideal

Shadow was walking in the forest, everything was peaceful. He was having a good time until… "Hey Shadow!" The hero appeared in front of him. "What do you want?" Shadow asked.

"Nothing! Just messing around!" Sonic said with a troll face. "Grr… this is the 20 time in this week! Get the hell out of here!" Shadow roared. "Fine! But I'll be back!" Sonic flashed away.

"If that faker messes with me again, I'll promise it will be his last." Shadow said as he went back home.

-10 minutes later-

In the city, where everyone was minding their own business, a flash of blue zapped through the streets and stopped in the park. Sonic lay on the grass, gazing at the sky and all of the sudden… "Sonic!" A pink female hedgehog dashed in and jumped on Sonic. "Argh! Amy, let go!" choking as the female holds him tightly.

"Sonic! I was looking for you! I was wondering if you would go and have a date with me tomorrow?" smiled Amy. "W-why would I?" The hero asked.

"Oh, come on. Spend a day with me, please?" Amy begged.

"I.."

"Yay~ then I'll meet you tomorrow here then!"

"Wait! Oh man…"

-1 hour later-

Shadow was at home watching TV. However, he couldn't find a channel for himself to past the time. *Ding dong* Shadow growled and opened the door.

It's Knuckles. "What do you want?" Shadow asked. Knuckles said, "Well… I want you to look after the Master Emerald for me tomorrow, just tomorrow."

Shadow raised an eyebrow, "Why should I?" "Tikal told me that the chao in her chao garden all got out and got lost. She asked me to help but I need to guard the Master Emerald. " Knuckles explained.

"What about Chaos?"

"Chaos needs to help us to so that they can send the chao back to the garden. That's why I need your help." "But why should it be me to do your damn job?"

"I asked Sonic but Amy forced him to date with her, Tails needs to fix his plane, Cream is too young, the Chaotix is busy on a case and I don't trust Rouge. Come on, Shadow! Please? Just this once." Knuckles begged.

"…Fine. Since I don't have a damn thing to do…" Shadow said.

"Thanks! Meet me in Angel Island tomorrow at 9:00 sharp!" Knuckles said and left. "…Hmph!"

-15 minutes later-

Sonic was walking home, 'Man… I have to date Amy tomorrow or I might get smack into a hedgehog pancake! If someone could…' and a light bulb appeared on top of his head. "Of course! I'm a genius!" Sonic sped away and towards Shadow's house. *Ding Dong* Shadow opened the door and found his cobalt rival on his doorway.

"Hey Sha-" *BANG* *Ding Dong* Shadow opened the door with a pistol aiming at Sonic's forehead, "Get out of here!"

"Wait!" Sonic yelled, "I'm not here to mess with ya! I'm here for your help!"

"You? Need my help?" Shadow asked with the pistol still aiming at Sonic.

"Yeah! Amy kinda forced me into a date and I thought if you can go to that date for me instead!"

"Pff. Why should I help you that? Even I am so nice that I would, I promised Knuckles to look after his damn rock."

"Why would you help him then?"

"BECAUSE I got nothing to do so I just said yes!" Shadow was getting frustrated.

"What if we exchange places?"

"I know Amy needs glasses but Knuckles don't."

"Unless… we paint ourselves!"

"Hmph, even so, why should I help you?"

"Hm... look, if you help me date Amy and I'll go and watch over the Master Emerald, I won't bother you for 1 month! It's a win win, right? I don't get to date Amy and you won't get mad about me messing you for one entire month!"

"…3 months."

"Fine! Deal?" Sonic took at his hand.

Shadow lowered his gun and shook his hand with Sonic. "Hehe, deal!"
