Okay. New story for Sonic the Hedgehog. I pray that this one will be better then my last one. (Even though I'm still working on it.)

This is kind of a copy of another story that I plan on doing, just twisted so it doesn't quite match. Hope this one will catch more of you people's attention.

ATTENTION: THIS CHAPTER HAS BEEN REWRITTEN FOR YOUR PLEASURE. THANK YOU…and cut in half.

I tend to say random things before the chapter starts.

"If one apple a day keeps the doctor away, what would a dozen do? And why do the doctors keep coming back?"

Sonic stumbled out from a bar, going this way and that and stumbling with drunkeness. He would have been fine if it hadn't been for the last two fruity harsh drinks that Amy had some how managed to give him. But no, he didn't want her going off and beating him and drank them anyway to please her. He paused at an overly bright street lamp and rubbed his ears in an attempt to get rid of the massive throbbing that had already started back in the bar.

He knew he shouldn't have drunk as much as the others due to the fact that his body broke down foods and drinks faster then normal. He could only imagine what his 'other' friends would say. Why do you drink that toxic waste? Before you know it your sicker then a dog with cancer. He smiled and looked down at the bland pavement. He studied every crack and gap, unaware of his surroundings he bumped into a very solid person. Or hedgehog if you want to get right down to the facts.

"Hey dip shit, watch where you walk." The voice was very monotone voice with a light dangerous edge to it. Sonic looked up to see a face he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Shadow! Were have you been?" Shadow only glanced at Sonic in surprise as he had never seen a wasted Sonic. With this he noticed that Sonic was swaying off side to side, looking like he would lose his balance at any moment.

"You're…very drunk. Don't you think someone should take you home?" Sonic, even though drunk, noticed that Shadow was actually trying to be nice. A very rare feat to witness indeed.

"Did a person smack you up in da head? I can get time at any home, silly!" Shadow just stared, Sonic was so drunk he couldn't form a proper sentence anymore, not that he did it often.

"What do you mean?" Sonic's glazed-over eyes bored into Shadow's before slipping down to his fluffy white chest fur and smirked. Shadow had followed Sonic's lowering gaze and properly brought his head back up to look unblinking at his face. It was slowly starting to get awkward.

"You're being nice," Sonic paused briefly to regain his balance and leaned against a convenient light pole next to him, "it's kinda scary really." Shadow just hissed at him in annoyance and at Sonic's drunken state.

"If you don't like how I'm acting then you should leave." Sonic thought for a bit and nodded to Shadow's suggestion.

"Sure…I've got to visit someone anyway. I should drop in for a visit, its been forever since I last saw them. So, I'll see you in like, three years or something, wait, more like a month," Sonic mumbled off before walking past Shadow and briefly brushed against his shoulder, "I'll see you later Shadow." And with that, ran straight out of the city and to the open plains beyond.

Shadow looked back at the light blue and fading trail that Sonic had left behind. He didn't want to admit that he had had a bad feeling about what Sonic said about the amount of time first said and wished he had just knocked him out there and taken him straight home like he should of. Shadow just shook his head and walked to the same bar that Sonic had come out of. Surely some of his friends must know where he had been going.

That was three years ago, no one has seen the sapphire hero since.

Okay, done! Short, but hey! It's the first chappy. Oh, I also don't own any of Sega characters.

The reason why I cut this off from the original dialog was because it made a great intro chapter. So sorry if any pervious readers dislike how I wrote this one.
