"Omg thank you guys so much for helping me get 1,000 views on Night of the Werehog! Thank you so much! As a thank you, I am starting this new story! YAY! I'll explain Psychotic Shadow later on! But for now, enjoy!
Shadow walked down the street angrily, kicking empty cans and rocks.
"Stupid little shit thinks he's gonna tell me what to do," he mumbled.
He cursed under his breath, keeping his eyes on the ground. He thought over his argument with Sonic.
'That little bitch better think twice before screaming at me,' Shadow thought to himself.
He wouldn't look up at all. His heart was cold as ice, as it had not been that way for a long while. He gritted his teeth and kicked a rock as hard as he could, sending it flying across the pavement. His breathing was heavy. He was told to keep control of his anger, and not to get too stressed out.
'Calm down Shadow. Just calm down. We don't need another Psychotic Shadow incident,' Shadow thought to himself.
He took in deep breaths, letting each one out slowly.
"Just stay calm and everything will be just fine," Shadow said quietly.
It had been a long time since Shadow had a "Psychotic Shadow" incident. He kept himself calm and collected for several months, making sure the dark entity wouldn't take over. He slowed his pace, relaxing his shoulders and letting his tension loosen up.
"That's better," he said.
He started humming softly, his stress levels decreasing. He let out a good, long, sigh of relief. He hoped to keep this attitude up the rest of the day. He started walking with a completely different style, keeping his head up and smiling.
"That's a lot better," he said.
He headed back for home, smiling and humming the whole way back. When he walked inside, Sonic seemed to be having a better attitude as well.
"Why are you smiling?" He asked.
Shadow shrugged.
"Gotta keep my anger and stress under control remember?" Shadow answered.
"Don't need another Psychotic Shadow incident. Completely forgot actually," Sonic said.
"Well now ya know. Again," Shadow said.
He walked into his bedroom and decided to lay down for a while. He was woken up a couple of hours later by a loud slam. His ears darted up quickly. He sat up and looked at his door.
"What the hell?"
He heard yelling and screaming coming from two recognizable voices. He sighed and laid back down.
'Are those two ever gonna go a month without an argument?' Shadow thought to himself.
The two he was thinking of were Sonic and Silver. For the longest time the two of them would get into an argument at least once a month. It put a lot of stress on the three of them, Shadow especially. Their screaming got louder and louder. Shadow growled and pulled the pillow over his ears. His breathing got heavier, meaning his stress levels were starting to rise.
'Calm down Shadow. Just calm down. Think happy thoughts. Just don't pay attention to them,' Shadow thought.
His shoulders started to relax, until one of them screamed at the top of their lungs. Shadow pulled the pillow down farther, trying to block them out. But it didn't help at all. He could still hear them. He got sick and tired of them arguing. He threw the blanket off and stomped to his door, opening it angrily and staring at Sonic and Silver. Silver noticed him and suddenly stopped.
"Got nothing to say now pothead?" Sonic asked, tapping his foot.
Silver looked at him and hissed.
"Shut up you blue colored ass bag!" Silver said.
Shadow started to grind his teeth. His body starting shaking and his hands balled up into fists. Silver looked back at him.
"Oh shit..." he said quietly.
"What?"
"Look over at what I'm looking at and you'll find out."
Sonic looked over and saw Shadow boiling with anger. He stopped.
"Oh. H-h-h-hey Shadow," he said.
Shadow glared at him.
"Sh-Shadow c-calm down. You know what happens when you let your anger loose," Silver said, trying to get him to relax.
"I am calm!" Shadow said, making Silver jump.
"Th-that's not calm," Silver stuttered.
"Oh like that wasn't obvious?!" Sonic said.
"Well sorry Mr. Oh I Know Everything!" Silver yelled.
One of Shadow's veins started to pop out from the side of his head. He was shaking harder.
"Both of you shut up!" He yelled.
Silver jumped again.
"S-sorry!"
"Yea you're SOOOO sorry," Sonic said.
"Not helping Sonic," Silver said through locked teeth.
Shadow's glare made them both feel like he was burning a hole into their heads. Silver stepped towards him slowly.
"Sh-Shadow. Just calm down. We've stopped arguing. So just calm down," Silver said.
"Oh why don't you give him some pot while you're at it?" Sonic asked in a snooty tone.
"You're not helping Sonic! Maple leaf! Japanese Maple leaf! That is what my quills are styled after now shut up!" Silver yelled.
"Make me half-pint!" Sonic retorted.
They started arguing again. Shadow was about to burst. His face was red, his eyes locked in one spot.
"Needleface!"
"Pothead!"
"Ass bag!"
"Pussy licker!"
"Tongue chewer!"
"Toad kisser!"
"Gold digger!"
Shadow couldn't take it anymore. Sonic and Silver swore they could hear rumbling as if a volcano was about to explode. And then Shadow burst.
"ENOUGH! ENOUGH ENOUGH ENOUGH!" He yelled.
Sonic and Silver looked at him.
"Shadow calm down," Silver said.
"I CAN'T CALM DOWN! YOU TWO WILL NOT STOP ARGUING! YOU ARGUE OVER THE STUPIDEST THINGS! JUST STOP! YOU'RE ACTING LIKE LITTLE KIDS!" Shadow roared.
Sonic and Silver knew they had really messed things up.
"Shadow just calm down bro," Sonic said.
"YOU TWO QUIT GETTING INTO ARGUMENTS AND MAYBE I'LL CALM DOWN!" Shadow bellowed.
And then it happened.
