Sonic and Shadow neared the end of their daily race. Shadow was leading but at the final corner Shadow trips landing on top of Silver. Sonic speeds passed winning the race.

"I would have won that race if Silver never got in the way"

Shadow growls as he stands up and brushes himself off. Silver sits up and glares at him.

"Oh so it's my fault now is it? Am not the one who tripped over my own feet?"

Shadow picks Silver up by his throat.

"Are you questioning the ultimate life form? How about I show you my true power"

Silver plants both of his feet into Shadows chest and kicks back sending Shadow stumbling backwards. As Silver lands Shadow retaliates with a chaos spear. Silver quickly throws a trash can to intercept it using his psycokinesis.

"If that's all you've got Shadow id quit now"

Shadow slides under the still falling trash can and kicks Silver in the chin sending him soaring though the air. Shadow then jumps above Silver and jumps off Silver sending him crashing to the floor.

"Silver I've had enough of your games time to die. Chaos spe..."

A pair of rabbit arms wrap around Shadows waist. The rabbit turns both herself and Shadow upside down.

"I don't think so nobody hurts Silver and gets away with it you egotistical fuck."

The rabbit spins as both her and Shadow both plummet to the ground. In a last act of desperation Shadow uses chaos control to escape the death drop.

"Humph having to be saved by a girl."

And with them words Shadow speeds off. The rabbit runs over to silver and helps him to his feet.

"Silver are you ok? What was that all about?"

Silver dusts himself off and wipes the blood from his mouth.

"Nothing just a clashing of personalities. What I want to know is what are you doing here Jess?"

Jess flicks her fringe from her eye and smiles at Silver.

"Am just checking up on my little Silver and a good thing too. If I didn't show up you would be worm food well what was left of you."

Silver looks at his feet with a disappointed look on his face. Jess smiles at him and puts her arm around him.

"Hey cheer up your still here aren't you that's something to smile about."

Silver looks at the sky and sighs. Jess pats him on the back.

"How about I show you where am staying whilst am in town"

Silver looks at Jess with a gentle smile.

"Yeah ok why not lets go *

Meanwhile at the finish line a few miles up the street sonic stands at a lamppost by tapping his foot impatiently. Tails walks over to Sonic and taps him on the shoulder.

"Sonic if he isn't here by now he isn't coming. Shadow doesn't take defeat well so he is most probably at the bar."

Sonic sighs as he looks at the sky. Tails looks over to Knuckles and Cream.

"Yo Tails I'll race you home. Last one there makes the chilidogs."

Sonic laughs as he speeds off into the distance with tails flying close behind. Cream smiles at Cheese then looks at Knuckles.

"Knuckles would you like to come over to my place for dinner?"

Knuckles smiles as he adjusts his gloves .

"Yeah ok sounds like fun."

Cream smiles with glee then she looks at her watch.

"Ok then its decided. We best get going then because it's getting late"

Both Knuckles and Cream walk off down the street.
