So I got the idea from StarVix, sue me. But I didn't take the whole storyline. I just took the whole 'people turning into babies and having to be taken care of by someone' idea. Okay, that's a huge idea, but I'm still going with it. This is also somewhat based off of Starvix's stories.

Chapter One

No Freaking Way

All was normal in Station Square. Sonic fanboys and fangirls chasing their favorite blue hero for the paparazzi shots or the love. Amy defending Sonic while yelling 'HE'S MINE!' Tails working endlessly on a new project that might solve a problem or create a new one. A dark hedgehog looking over the city and last but not least we get to the one person who isn't even in Station Square. A red echidna lying on top of a stone temple, behind him a huge emerald he swore to protect, within the floating Angel Island.

But even though everything seemed normal, it really wasn't. The large, round, Dr. Eggman was up to some other useless plan, bound to be stopped by Sonic. Even with this knowledge, the doctor was determined and he tried again anyway. The doctor was working away on what seemed to be a gun, but clearly wasn't. Its barrel was small; the handle was silver and on the top looked like some sort of meter. It was an updated version of one of his old weapons he used to call the Eggafier, but the first times he used it, he still failed in his endeavors. But Eggman tinkered with the invention even more and finally decided that it was finished.

"Now for a test subject." Eggman sniveled, as his eyes beamed with delight.

Shadow was standing atop one of the rooftops of a tall skyscraper. His arms crossed and his casual frown on his face. For him, it was just another boring day. But a small sound hit the air, causing the ebony hedgehog's ears to perk up. It was the sound of jets, not big ones, but soft and small enough to propel something upwards. He couldn't quite remember where the sound usually came from, but once he finally did, it was too late. He turned around and found Eggman pointing a familiar looking weapon at him.

"Not again." Shadow said with a shocked tone.

Eggman smiled as he pressed the button that fired his weapon, but before the beam could hit the ebony hedgehog a blue streak of motion crashed into Shadow, pushing him out of the way.

"Well, at least I got away from those stupid fans." Sonic grumbled as he rubbed his head.

"Normally I would thank the person who saves my life from Eggman and that stupid contraption, but since it's you I won't." Shadow said as he got up.

"Oh! Hey Shads! Didn't know I crashed into you. I ran up the building to get away from crazy fans who want my autograph . . . . . . and for some odd reason a patch of my fur, but that doesn't matter right now." Sonic said, completely ignoring Eggman.

Eggman aimed his gun at Shadow once more and fired. Shadow dived to the right, pushing Sonic with him.

"You remember that stupid machine that turned us into babies one time?" Shadow asked, he body pressing Sonic's against the floor.

"Yeah, it was pretty awesome, you were really cute." Sonic answered with a smile.

Shadow got up and threw Sonic off the building before another one of Eggman's beams could hit him. Shadow jumped off the side of the building to follow Sonic.

The two ran down the building at high speeds so they only looked like blurs of blue and black.

"What the heck!? I came up the building to get away from fans! Now you throw me off of it!" Sonic argued as he continued to run.

"Just be quiet, I don't think Eggman's done with us." Shadow said as he looked behind him. Eggman was right on their tale and still firing his weapon.

Sonic and Shadow ducked, dodged and jumped to avoid the beams, but for some odd reason, they just couldn't lose Eggman. Sonic and Shadow eventually burst into a mall with Eggman still after them. Sonic jumped over a table as a beam hit the area where he once was. Shadow slid on his knees and under a bench before a beam could hit him. Eggman on the other hand was starting to get frustrated. He couldn't hit them, so he used his knowledge.

"There." Eggman whispered evilly as he pointed his weapon at a mirror.

He fired at it and the beam bounced off the mirror and headed straight toward Shadow. The ebony hedgehog was caught off guard and the beam hit him. Sonic saw what had happened and skidded to a halt as a small version of Shadow sat on the ground with a blank look on his face.

"Crap!" Sonic exclaimed as he ran toward the baby Shadow.

The Blue Blur grabbed the infant and ran straight for the exit. Eggman continued to chase Sonic but even more people joined in.

"I can never lose these fans of mine." Sonic said as he increased speed.

Sonic was able to lose the fans but he still kept on running.

"Where do I go? Can't bring Shadow back home with me again because of the fans. Amy? No. Tails? He's too far and I don't want the little dude to get motion sickness." Sonic looked down into his arms to find a nauseated Shadow.

"Who's the closest? Who's the person I can rely on?" Sonic asked himself.

Five Minutes Later

"KNUCKLES!!!!"

The red echidna, who was sleeping peacefully atop the stone temple, got up to the sudden yelling.

"KNUCKLES!!!" Yelled the same voice.

Knuckles looked around trying to find the source.

"I know that voice anywhere." He mumbled to himself.

"There you are." Said a relieved tone as a blue streak made its way up the steps.

"I need your help." Sonic said suddenly, for the first time, Knuckles saw that he was out of breath.

"With what?" Knuckles asked as he leaned back onto the Master Emerald.

Sonic held out the incredibly cute baby Shadow.

"Hewo!" Shadow greeted.

Knuckles mouth was gaping open in shock.

"We already took care of a baby Shadow once! What did you this time!?" Knuckles asked in an angry tone.

"I didn't do anything! Eggman improved that weapon of his!" Sonic said as he stepped back.

"Okay, fine I believe you. But what do you want me to do? You already did it once before, you can do it again." Knuckles said, shrugging.

"But things are different. I've got fans and paparazzi on me and if they see with me with a kid, who knows what will happen." Sonic said in on overly dramatic tone.

"So you're asking me to take care of Shadow?" Knuckles asked.

"Yeah." Sonic answered plainly.

"No." Knuckles replied, as he sat down on the temple floor.

"Come on! You've got to!" Sonic pleaded.

Before Knuckles could answer a loud yelling could be heard.

"SONIC!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU!?" Yelled an army of fans.

"Man they're persistent." Sonic cursed. The blue blur that turned to face Knuckles.

"Just do it! Try dropping by Tails' workshop, I think he has some sort of machine to fix this." Sonic said as he put Shadow down and ran off.

Now, Knuckles and an infant Shadow were left standing on top of the Master Emerald Temple. Knuckles was shocked, his friend just left an infant child with him.

"Great." Knuckles said as he got up and picked Shadow up.

"Knuckies!" Shadow said happily.

"Well, at least you don't act like yourself." Knuckles sighed.

He was about to step off of the temple to go to Tails' workshop until a thought hit him. The red echidna turned around to face the Master Emerald.

"I can't just leave this thing here unprotected." He said.

"Ooooohhh! Shiny!" Shadow said as he stared at the Master Emerald.

"I'll take care of this later, first I need to go see Tails to get this sorted out." Knuckles mumbled as he carried Shadow to the kitsune's workshop.
