Summary: All of Shadow's friends have found their soul mates, and are all happy in love. Except for him. What happens, however, when a new blue hedgehog comes on the scene, and instantly falls for Shadow? Will anyone survive? Pairings- Shad/OC, Knux/Rouge, Cream/Tails, Silv/Blaze, etc, etc.

Disclaimer/: I don't own any of the sonic characters, apart from Roxxii. My friend made her up, and told me to put her on this website. So, technically, on this website, I own Roxxii the Hedgehog and her made up family. Either way, I own part of her. Peace!:)

A.N/: ENJOY!!!

I Love You…Wait, What Did I Just Say?!

Mew Mew Pomegranate!!!

Chapter 1: "Bad Karma Dude."

Shadow's P.O.V:

I personally hate alarm clocks. They're just little plastic boxes that ruin the interior of your bedroom. Whoever invented them was a real twat. All they do is go tick, tock, tick, tock, until your head explodes. Sometimes, just to get some peace, you either stuff it at the bottom of the drawer by your bed, or you neatly take the batteries out, and put them next to it, ready for when you need them. In my case, however, I just throw my clock out of the window. But no matter what I do, it always comes back. Even if I stomp on it, or send it in the mail to Sonic. And DON'T get me started on that infectious beeping. It goes on forever, like a freakin siren! Why do I even have one, you might be asking yourself. Well, I'll tell you why…

I don't know.

Anyway, that stupid piece of foreign tat woke me up from the best dream ever.

A dream that only I seemed to want…

I was about to push Sonic off of a cliff.

He was so close to the edge, I was frothing at the mouth, like a rabid hedgehog. I tried to ignore the beeping, until my ears were ringing. I swear, I could have gone insane. I threw the blasted alarm clock against the wall and chaos- speared it. The colourful alarm clock was now black, and smoke was rising out of the top, but it, still, continued beeping. I swore that the vein that was throbbing on my forehead had burst. As if my day wasn't bad enough already, the smoke set off the sprinklers and the smoke alarm! I stood in the middle of my bedroom, getting drenched, whilst the clock and the smoke alarm beeped at me evilly.

Today was going to suck.

After I'd showered, changed, eaten breakfast, done my teeth, washed the already drenched carpet, put out the smoke, and put the freakin clock in a parcel to send to Sonic's house, I set off for Tails' workshop. He, Knuckles, Sonic, Silver and I were working on the X-Tornado, you know, cleaning it, adding a few things, doing a few 'tweaks', that sort of crap. I locked my door and started walking.

I don't usually lock my door. People know better than to steal from me, but seeing as today was turning into a day of hell, I wasn't taking any chances.

I passed by Silver and Blazes' house first. I knew those two would get together, eventually. They were just going out though, no serious proposals. You know how Silver was, naïve and all. Sure, Silver and I didn't hang out much after those two got together, but I wasn't that fussed.

I could still talk to Knuckles.

Until he went and married Rouge, and got her pregnant. He and Rouge stayed at home, and had more fun than I did. Way more fun, if you understand where I'm coming from. If they didn't do that, then Rouge wouldn't be knocked up, and I and Sonic could just laugh at Knuckles, the echidna that hadn't had any, "Business" for months!

I was left with Tails and Sonic.

Tails was perfectly fine, until he asked Cream out. He still asked me over so that we can do practical things, like fix things and make stuff. I like doing that. He didn't ask me over as much, but he still did. So I was left with Sonic. Not the best duo, though kicking his sorry ass in races was fun. The look on his face was always priceless.

So clever old Tails decided that we should have a guy day, with machinery and beers.

Aah…My kind of day.

I walked up Tails' drive to his workshop, kicking stones on the way. Stones don't usually do much damage, but seeing as today was still slowly becoming the day of hell, something bad was bound to happen.

Typical me, I kicked the stone as hard as I could, and it literally left the ground, went soaring through the misty sky and made a rather large hole in the window belonging to the kind old people living next to Tails.

Ah well, they were old. I'm sure they didn't notice. Just in case they had binoculars or security cameras, I quickly ran into the workshop. I looked around cautiously, because I had very bad luck that day, so I was avoiding anything big and heavy that could turn me into road kill.

Literally.

I am a hedgehog after all.

Everyone was here already, apart from Silver. Tails was already stuck in his work, head under the bonnet of the X-Tornado, tightening some gears with his trusty screwdriver.

He goes everywhere with that thing. Kind of spooky.

Sonic and Knuckles were just chilling out, listening to Low by Flo Rida feat. T-Pain on the top ten film theme songs of all time ( sorry if anyone hates that song. It was the first one that came to mind!:)).

Sonic was in his black t-shirt and jeans, and his trademark running shoes, lying over two chairs, taking occasional sips from his can of Carlsberg, whilst humming along to the song, What a show off. Knuckles had draped his shirt over his chair, and was just wearing his dark blue jeans and lace-ups. He was leaning back in his chair, arms resting behind his head. Surprisingly, his chair never tipped over, as Knuckles was good at balancing.

I coughed a little to let them know that I was alive and in the room. Doing this had one problem:

I forgot that I had bad karma.

Sonic startled, falling off of the chairs, knocking Knuckles, who tipped backwards, and landed on the floor, legs in the air, which freaked Tails out, who jumped and hit his head on the bonnet, before falling backwards and crashing into boxes full of gears and tools, and, well, you get my idea.

STUPID FREAKIN' KARMA!!!!!!

And whilst they were trying to stand back up again, I was stood in the middle of the hazardous zone. To put it into simpler words, I looked like a twat.

Sonic, Knuckles and Tails stared daggers into me. Normally I'd just chaos control out of there, to avoid embarrassment. However, in my haste to leave my house that morning, I had left my precious emerald on the kitchen counter.

I hope my baby's OK. I don't usually leave her home alone. I know what you're thinking. I need a girlfriend. WAIT 'TILL I FINISH MY STORY.

So, thinking on my shifting feet, I decided to do the most random thing. I waved at them and slightly grinned. "Heh, heh, how you guys doing, heh, heh…"

We, as for my response, I had to cover my ears;

"SSSSHHHHAAAADDDDOOOOWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

About ten minutes later, Silver arrived in a good mood, only to find Sonic cleaning up spilt beer, Knuckles picking up the chairs, Tails with an ice bag over his head, one on his leg, and one positioned under his elbow, and me standing in the corner cursing under my breath.

"Is this a bad time?" asked Silver, backing away.

"No," said Knuckles, "Shadow is just being a pain in the ass today."

Silver looked at me, so I just said, "Bad karma dude. Never have it." I sighed, turning my attention to the floor. My shoes were surprisingly interesting at that moment. Silver just shook his head at me.

"Tough shit man." He said, and went to re-open the bonnet with Tails.

We worked for two hours straight, with re-fills of beer and the radio to keep us going. We were mucking about and acting like the teenagers we used to be.

We also teased each other.

What did I do, you ask?

Well, let's just say that Sonic is hoping that pink paint washes out of blue quills. Hee hee hee.

I'm not one for soppiness, but it really did feel like nothing had ever changed between any of us. We decided to take a little break, with our old friend, the chilli dog.

Obviously, Sonic was going nuts, eating for Mobius. Watching him eat has put me off for life. Seriously, it was like watching the discovery channel, or a horror film.

Then we were just lounging around, watching people walk by, and saying hi if we knew them. Me being me, I didn't know very many people.

Sally, Julie-su and Mina sauntered by, swaying their hips a little too dangerously.

Seeing Mina made my face go grey. I hate that thing.

Knuckles was now a very light red, seeing as he had spotted Julie-su, his ex-girlfriend. Sally winked at Sonic and he literally died on the spot.

Amy walked by, chatting to Sonia, Sonic's sister.

No duh.

They both waved at Sonic, making him look stupid as he tried to wave back, nearly falling out of his chair again. I wish I had my video camera with me. That embarrassing video would have gone straight on my website. Muah ha ha.

Cream skipped past holding a bouquet of flowers for her mother.

Yuck, flowers. Associated with love and soppy stuff. She said hi to Tails, making him as hot as the Sahara Desert, in the summer, going through a drought, whilst wearing winter clothes. I could go on forever.

Then a seven month pregnant Rouge staggered past, carrying about ten shopping bags, causing Knuckles to freak out, run over, take the bags off of her, take them across the street to their house, and then give her a lecture for lifting heavy objects and for standing up for long periods of time.

I sometimes feel sorry for Rouge. Being married to a gullible idiot like Knuckles. Still, he's, my mate, and he's happy.

I hate happy.

I told Tails that I was just going to rush home to get some things I needed. I ran up the path, turned the key in the lock and stepped inside my house…

…Only I didn't expect to see a female blue hedgehog jumping on my sofa.

A.N/: How was that? I hope it wasn't too bad!:) Reviews will be accepted, but please don't be too mean. I'm very sensitive. There will be more dialogue in the next chapter.

LOL, Shadow's got issues.

Next Chapter…"HI, I'M ROXXII. I LIKE BUBBLES."

If you didn't already realise, Roxxii, is a tad bit ditzy. You'll grow to like her, I hope…:(
