Sonic in his later years

Written in the POV of Shadow, one of the two who would logically no have aged by this point

I do not own Sonic, Shadow, or any other character in this fanfic SEGA owns most of them, not the very minor ones like a nurse.

Chapter 1 Sonic

Well, I've matured a bit, so here I am. I've decided to pay a visit to my old 'friends' I guess. I mean they are old and on edge and I still don't age due to my creation in a lab all that time ago, but no time for flashbacks it is time to look to the future.

A nurse greeted me at the door to the retirement home.

"Hey mind if I see Sonic first, I want to know the condition of my old friend." I had meaning behind every word. She led me to Sonic's room where I sat down next to his bed and awaited for him to wake up.

"Who are yooo?" Sonic was old and very drowsy I could forgive his poor grammar.

"It's me, Shadow. We saved the world together." I was being very calm

"Nope not a clue." He had no clue who I was.

I looked on a clipboard outside his room.

Loss of long term memory due to repeated head injuries as a child or teenager

Unable to move lower half of body due to rapid mussel degeneration in legs possibly from stress as a youth

Also suffers from PTSD when he does remember his past

I had know some of them would suffer from memory loss, but why him?

I took out a photo I brought with me just in case, it was of the day we teamed up and we were all in it, me, Tails, Knuckles, Tikal, Sonic, Blaze, Rouge, everyone but Jet because who the hell likes him.

I shook Sonic because he had fallen asleep on me, and I did not want to wait for him to wake up again.

"Oh hello, are you one of my doctors I can never remember anything about my past or my present." Sonic laughed at his joke, then gave me a blank stare.

"Here you go my old friend, I brought this so we could remember when we were young." I handed Sonic the photo. He stared at it and looked at me, then back to the photo.

"Man Shadow, you haven't aged a damn day." Sonic's memory was back, but for how long?

"Yeah, you know, I try." We shared a laugh, the Blue Blur was back.

"Hey, I know I'm stuck like this, but can you tell Ames that we'll always be friends, no matter what." His grin was hiding remorse.

"Don't worry Sonic, I'll send a photo your way so you'll never forget again." I smiled and patted his back.

"Who the hell are you? Get the FUCK outta my room before I spindash your ass!" Sonic had forgotten me again.

"I am Shadow. S-H-A-D-O-W do you understand old man?" I was being as calm as I could.

"I understand Shadow was my age so why aren't you my age, 'Shadow'!" He'd finally snapped.

I poked my head out the room "SEDATIVE STAT!"

As the nurses ran I thought to myself I guess I'll visit Amy next.

You can't wait for Chapter 2: Amy, can you?

Oh and check out my other work The Epic of Sonic
