"Thank God!" Sonic, the famous blue hero hedgehog, said as he answered the door. Greeting the pink hedgehog, Amy Rose. "I really need a sitter, and you were the only person I could call!"
"Its no problem." The pink hedgehog assured, walking into the house, "Why did you need a sitter? It's not for Tails or Silver, you've trusted the two home alone before, and you've never worried about someone breaking in. So what's it for?"
"Um, well-. I think it's easier to show you."
Sonic grabbed Amy by the hand and rushed her through the house, up stairs and into a room decorated for a small child. It was still early in the morning, so it was still dark in the room; but Amy knew what was in the room already, so she had no problem stepping over the toys that scattered the floor. The dresser and toy chest in the room were nothing more than blobs of shadows, trying to blend in with the darkness.
When they got to the bed, Amy could see something lying in the bed.
"Sonic, what is the-?" Amy gasped as she put her hands to her mouth, "Sonic did you adopt a child too? I thought that-"
"No!No,no,no,no!" The hero stopped the female hedgehog, "But that'd make the situation simpler."
Sonic pulled a phone out of his tan pants pockets, turned the flashlight app on, and flashed it on the bed. Revealing a small hedgehog child, around 4; Amy guessed, a child with black quills and red highlights on the tips.
"Hey, he kinda looks like Shadow!" She whispered. Sonic nodded his head the kid, "It is Shadow!" She gasped,loudly.
"Sh!" Sonic hushed Amy, and covered her mouth. "You trying to wake him up?"
Sonic lead her out of the room. When they were out of the room, Sonic quietly shut the door.
"How did that happen to him?" Amy asked, "Is this some prank?"
"No, I swear!" Sonic said, putting his right hand on his heart, and his left hand in the air. "No one is sure what was happened."
"Well it sounds like you have a story to tell." The pink hedgehog sighed, leading Sonic back down stairs and to the couch.
"But I have to-!"
"Then tell me quickly."
It was a warm summer day, the hottest day of the season. Though a lot of people would be in their homes, roughing out the heat with their AC. But in the infamous Sonic the Hedgehog, was out on a track field; with his friends Shadow, Silver, and Tails.
"You do know it was a waste of time coming out here,right?" The hero said to his black quilled friend, as he stretched, "They don't call me the fastest thing alive for nothing."
"I wish you would be the quietest thing alive." Shadow sighed, as he stretched as well, "I mean your mouth is the only fast thing on you!"
"You won't be saying that when you eat my dust. Are you two done yet?"
"Almost!" The two tailed fox replied, from up on a pair of bleachers. Him and Silver had on weird, high-tech, blue glasses
, and earpieces on. They were typing in the air, like you would on a computer, but nothing was there. Around the two, small orbs with cameras in them,hovered. The technology was invented by Tails. Supposably, there was a keyboard and screen in front of the two, and they could only see them with the glasses, and could hear videos if they streamed them. They also controlled the controlled the cameras with the keyboard.
"I'm not sure how I feel about being recorded every time we compete." Shadow said, "The government is still after me, for some reason."
"Really?" Sonic asked surprised. It had been a few years since the incident in space. Soni thought all of the nonsense with Shadow being hunted would have been over. Especially in Soniville. Soniville was made when everyone got back to earth from the incident. It was a place that Sonic's kind, and humans could live in peace; with no racism or any of that junk. Even the president set up a special system people had to go through to see if they would be allowed to live in Soniville. Of course Sonic's people were free to live wherever they wanted Then if Sonic's people didn't want live on the earth, they could live on Mobius. Transportation between the two worlds was open twentyfour seven. Which worked out, because some of Sonic's people didn't like the rules that the earth had. The big one being, you had to wear cloths. Even Sonic had to obey the rules. He was currently wearing silky white shorts and a white undershirt, and Shadow wore the same.
"Yeah, so if Silver puts it on Youtube, it better not cause me any problems."
"It won't." Sonic assured
"Okay!" Silver yelled, as the camera bots flew all across the track field, ready to capture the race.
"You ready?" The blue hedgehog asked, stepping up to the white line, painted on the green concrete.
"As always." Shadow chuckled, stepping.
"Three!" Tails started counting down, "Two! One! GO!
As quick as lighting, the two hedgehogs ran off leaving a wall of dust behind them. After being editing, Silver would make sure that the race would be watchable, but for now; the race only lasted a couple of seconds.
"I won!" Tails, suspected Sonic saying. The wall of brown dust was covering the two hedgehogs.
"You did not!" Shadow snapped, "I won!"
"You're out of your mind Shady!"
"Am not, and what have I told you about call me that?"
"Don't worry about it." Tails told the two, walking up to them, "Silver and I will check the video recording when we get back."
"Good." The two said at the same time.
"But who do you think won, Tails?"
"I don't know, you both have amazing speed levels. So it was anyone's game. Shadow, you okay?"
The fox just happened to look over at the hedgehog, and noticed that he was steaming. Like a piece of machinery that had been running to long, and over heated.
"Im hot!" He snapped, pulling at his shirt, "Like not just warm."
"You okay Shady?" Sonic asked, putting his hand on his friends should, but jerking it off, "Hesh, that burned! I know you don't like me calling you Shady, but that took burning mad to a whole knew level!"
"Nows not the time to be cracking jokes!" Tails scolded, "Get him something cold."
"R-right!"
Sonic zoomed off, and came back with a bottle of ice cold water.
"Here you go Shady," He said, opening up the bottle and pouring it on Shadow. Small chips of ice could be seen floating on the water.
"Still burning!" Shadow cried.
"Something's not right!" Tails said, walking over to Shadow, showing that he was closer to Tails height. Also showing Shadows baggy, and sweat drenched, clothes.
"I think we should get him to my lab."Tails suggested.
"Right! Silver!"
"Huh?" The teen said looking up from his screen
"You're driving yourself home." Sonic said, tossing him the keys to his truck, then grabbing Shadow and Tails and running them home.
"That's all the time I can spare right now." Sonic said, jumping up from the couch, "I have to book it. Get Tails to tell you the rest when he wakes up."
Sonic ran out the door, leaving Amy.
