A/N: This is my first Sonic fic. That is all.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shadow woke up one morning to the sound of birds singing. "Shut-up! Chaos Spear!" The birds die. "Well, now that that's taken care of, I think I'll pester that faker, Sonic!" He then looked in one of his drawers, and took out his Chaos emerald. "Chaos Control!" Shadow warped time and space, and ended up at Sonic's front door. He rang his door bell. He waited. No one answered it. He rang it again. No one. He started banging on the door. "Open the door, faker!"

Meanwhile, Sonic was sleeping in his bed. He was talking in his sleep. "Zzzzz--Sonic knows Pamela Anderson--zzzzz".

Suddenly, the door broke down. "Sonic!" yelled the black furred hedgehog with red stripes. "Wake-up, you faker!" He walked up-stairs, and kicked Sonic's door down. What he saw shocked him. Sonic was asleep alright, but Amy Rose was also in his bed. Sonic finally wakes up, but when he finds Amy in his bed, he freaks out. "What the hell?", Sonic says before he starts shaking Amy's sleeping form. Amy wakes up. "Huh? What's going on, Sonikku?" she says.

"What are you doing in my bed?"

"I just thought I would keep you company!"

"Well thanks for caring, but get the hell out of my house!"

"B-b-but--"

"Out!"

"Fine then!"

Amy left the house. Sonic was about to go back to sleep, when he heard clapping. He looked back. It was Shadow. "Well, well, well! We meet again, Blue Hedgehog". Sonic is shocked. "I thought you were dead!"

"Well you thought wrong, faker."

"Stop calling me that! You are the faker! What are you doing here, any way?"

"I just came here to tell you I am still the Ultimate Life Form!"

"That's it? Get out!"

Shadow reached behind his back. "No, that is not it. I also came…to…"

Sonic started getting nervous.

"…give you your paper". He pulled a newspaper from behind his back, and gave it to Sonic.

"Oh. Well, thanks, I guess"

"I must go now, Sonic. Chaos Control!" In a flash, the Ultimate Life Form was gone. Sonic was alone. "Well that was weird." "Oh well, I'm going to visit Tails" As he started running, he stopped to find that his front door was gone. "Shadow!"

At Tails's house…

"So, you want me to fix your door?", the two tailed fox asks Sonic. "Yeah, can you do it?"

"Well, I would, but you still owe me money."

"How much?"

"$10,000"

"I have $10,000!"

Suddenly Knuckles appears. "No you don't". Knuckles eats the money. "What did you do that for?", Sonic asked.

"I do lots of things"

"But, I need that money!"

"Well, too bad!"

"Okay, that's it!"

They fight. Sonic appears behind Knuckles and tries to kick him. Knuckles disappears, and reappears in front of Sonic. He punches him in the face, and Sonic flies into a electronics store. Sonic sees a camera, and at the same time, he sees Shadow walking by. He thinks to himself. 'What does Shadow do all day, anyway?' He walks up to the cashier. "Hey, can I buy this camcorder?", he asks as he points to a camcorder next to him. "Sure!"

Sonic walks outside, and walks up to Knuckles. "Uh, oh! Sonic is probably pissed!" "Hey, thanks for knocking me into that place!" Sonic says when he gets there. "Huh?" "Well, I just thought up something. I could make a documentary about Shadow! It will help me make some money, and I can learn more about him!"

"Well, I guess that would work…"

"Of course it will! Well, see ya' later!" Sonic disappears in a blue blur.

"Uh, okay…"

Meanwhile, Sonic was putting in a blank tape in the camcorder. "Hmmm… how am I supposed to record Shadow without him knowing", he said to himself. "I mean, I can't just walk up to him and say, 'Hey Shadow! Can I invade your privacy for my own personal gain?' and expect him to say yes!" He decided to find Tails again, and ask him.

He ran up to Tails's house, knocked on the door, and asked him for some help. "Hey, Miles! Get over here!" Tails opened the door. "What do you want?", he replied quite rudely.

"Whoa! What's up with you?"

"Amy Rose came over, crying about you yelling at her and kicking her out of your house!"

"But, she was in my bed when I woke up!"

"She was?! She didn't tell me that!"

"She didn't? Then what did she say?"

"She said she was just visiting!"

"Just visiting, huh? Well, I'll take care of Amy, later. I came over to ask if you had any ideas about how to record Shadow without him knowing."

"Well, let's see…" Tails went into a room to think up some ideas. He came out about a half an hour later, with about 165 ways Sonic could sneak up on Shadow.

"Use these ideas. If they fail, I'll see you in the hospital in a few days."

"Ha, ha. Very funny Tails. Now give me that list!"

"Okay, here you go, Sonic. But…"

"But what, Tails?"

"I was slightly serious about the hospital thing. Be careful, Sonic. Shadow maybe reformed, but he is still dangerous!"

"I know, lil' bro. I'll be careful."

Sonic said goodbye to Tails, and headed to the forest, where Shadow lived. With a camcorder in one hand, and the list in his homemade pouch, he was ready for anything. He just hoped Shadow was in a good mood.

To Be Continued…

Is Sonic getting in over his head? Will he apologize to Amy? And will Knuckles stop eating other peoples money? Find out on the next, "A Day in the Life of A Shadow"!
