Shadow walked into the G.U.N base then saw his partner with someone else and narrowed his eyes walking over. "Rouge why the heck did you bring your son here?" Shadow asked trying not too snap.

Rouge had a almost two year old child on the table he was a red echidna with white and red dreads and light purple eyes. He had a red pacifier in his mouth and had only tan pants on he took off his shirt earlier. "Cause my husband needs to work on somthing with the shrine and its too dangerous for infants too be there" Rouge said.

"Well why did you bring him here?" Shadow shouted.

"Cause Amy and Sonic already have there hands full with there baby and Knuckles didnt want me taking them there Tails and Cosmo are at the white house with some top secret mission Heck no am i going to send him to the chaotix since they still havent learned how to control Charmy" Rouge said.

"Well that kid better not interupt with my work" Shadow muttered.

Rouge set Ethan down on the floor "The boss was ok with it besides... Ethan dont touch that!" Rouge shouted.

Shadow turned around and saw Ethan was standing on a chair about too spill Shadows hot coffee on himself. Shadow moved to snatch it from the kid but instead since of Ethans tight grip he ended up breaking the mug getting hot coffee allover himself and the paperwork. Shadow gritted his teeth knowing would be in worse pain if taught Ethan a swear word and glared at Rouge. Rouge picked up Ethan and Ethan gave the adorable innocent look. "You know Shadow when was the last time you had a day off work and went out on a date?" Rouge asked.

"Hmm the fifth of ... Never" Shadow said.

"Well i could hook you up with someone" Rouge said.

"Rouge the last thing i need is a blind date" Shadow said rolling his eyes.

"Come on Shadow just try it one date it wont kill you too be social once and awhile" Rouge said starting too put some paperwork away.

"Fine when do i meet her?" Shadow grumbled.

"Hold Ethan for a second i left my phone in the car" Rouge said putting Ethan in Shadows arms before he could say no and walked out.

Ethan and Shadow stared at eachother till Ethan spit out the pacifier in his eye and giggled. Shadow put the pacifier on the table already getting annoyed by this kid. " Daddy and Enemy Uncle Sonic say you need a life" Ethan said.

Shadow looked at him "They did what else?" He asked.

"They awlso got a video of you drunk singing abcs" Ethan said.

Shadow was about too ask were Ethan learned the word drunk when Rouge walked in and grabbed Ethan from Shadow. "She will meet you tomorrow 1 pm at burns coffee shop" Rouge said.

Shadow rolled his eyes "Great" He muttered.

Suddenly there was a voice on the speaker "There is a creature from the lab on the loose i repeat there is a creature from the lab on the loose"

Rouge and i looked at eachother we were pretty far away from the lab so i doubted anything would find its way here. Suddenly they heard Ethan giggling we saw him holding a strange furry creature. Shadow tried too grab it from him but the creature snarled at Shadow showing his razor sharp fangs which caused Shadow and Rouge to take a step back. "How are we going to get him to let go of that thing?" Rouge asked.

"We?" Shadow questioned.

Rouge glared at him and he said "Fine ill help" He muttered.

Rouge snuck behind Ethan while Shadow distracted the creature quickly Rouge put the creature in her purse and said "Ok that was close" She muttered.

They hurried to the lab by the time they got there there was a small hole in Rouges purse the scientists grabbed the creature putting it back in its cage. As Rouge and Shadow left Ethan waved bye bye to the creature. As work was finally over Shadow went too his apartment it was the biggest one in the complex there was two rooms a kitchen and a big living room also a small bathroom. He grabbed a beer and lied down on the couch thinking of how lonely he actully is.

...

Shadow woke up and saw it was 12:48 crap he`s suppose to meet his date in 12 minutes! He hurried and took a quick shower then put on some black jeans a button down white tshirt and a black jacket and rushed out the door. He was there by 12:56 he sat down on a table inside it was winter so the place was crowded. Shadow sighed and looked around for a lonley girl but didnt see anyone. A server came up to him "Would you like some coffee sir?" He asked.

"Yes ill have a coffee no sugar or sweeteners" Shadow said.

The servant nodded about too leave when someone said "And ill have a no foam latte with fat free carmal and add alittle whipped cream." A voice said.

Shadow turned too see a light blue hedgehog with blue hair to her shoulder with one darker blue streak in it. She was dressed really differently then most people expect a tight blue tubetop with jean shorts and ripped fishnet tights. Black boots with fur on them she had blue green eyes and had darker blue eyeshadow on with red lipstick. She sat down and smirked "Your a friend of Rouge?" She asked.

"Yes" Shadow said simply.

"Well im Aura your worried at the same time intrigued" Aura said.

Shadow blinked at her in suprise "Now the worry has toned down slightly and your suprised and now your going to be suspicous on how im doing this well like my name i can read auras" Aura said simply.

Shadows eyes widened slightly but then returned to there usual uncaring look "So you in a theif buisness?" Shadow asked.

Aura gave a small smirk the coffee man showed up and set down the drinks Aura gave him the cash for the drinks and started too sip hers. "I prefer not to answer it but lets say me and Rouge have a similar and different lives" Aura said simply.

"Hmm" Shadow said taking a drink from his coffee.

When they both finished there coffee Aura stood up "This was nice here`s my number" Aura said handing Shadow a card before walking outside.

Shadow stood there for a moment suprised till he heard an arguement outside "...Sonic learn to keep better track of your kid!" A familiar voice shouted.

"Shut up Knucklehead your kid did the same exact thing!" Another voice shouted.

Shadow walked outside and smirked Sonic and Knuckles were shouting at eachhother Sonic was holding a 5 month old pink hedgehog with short curly hair with purple edges and green eyes just like his she was wearing a purple coat with pink on it and snowpants with white boots. She was covered in snow Ethan was with knuckles he was wearing jeans and a jacket no shirt agian. Sonic was wearing black pants and a green jacket while Knuckles had on ripped jeans and a red jacket. Shadow walked over "Ok whats this about?" he asked.

"Well Knuckleheads kid thought it would be a good idea too ride a sled with a 5 month old unfortunantly the 5 month old was my daughter! Luckily shes not hurt" Sonic said glaring at Knuckles.

"Wow Knuckles you need to learn to keep better track of your kid" Shadow said.

Knuckles glared at Shadow while Sonic asked "Why are you here anyways?"

"Well i...umm" Shadow was trying to think of an excuse till Knuckles chuckled.

"My wife set Shadow up on a date" Knuckles said.

Sonic started too laugh and so did the little girl in his arms even though she had no idea what was going on. Shadow so badly wanted to beat the crap out of Knuckles and Sonic but unfortunantley they had the little kid excuse. "Oh Sonic Shadow Knuckles is that you?" A voice was heard.

They all turned around too see Cosmo and Tails both holding a whole lot of bags. Cosmos hair was halfway down her back and her flowers had bloomed. She wore an orange jacket and black pants with black boots and an orange scarf. Tails was alot taller and stronger now but still had a hard time carrying all the bags he had a green coat and dark blue jeans on with black boots. "Aww your baby MapleZen so cute Sonic can i hold her?" Cosmo asked.

Sonic nodded and handed her over to Cosmo MapleZen giggled and looked at the flowers at her hair. Tails grabbed the other bags Cosmo put down but unfortunantley fell over cause they were way too much. Knuckles helped Tails up and set all the bags down then Shadow realized Sonic didnt have his kid anymore and Ethan was looking through the bags Tails had. He grabbed both Knuckles and Sonic and shoved there faces into the snow. They both struggled to there faces and a full on brawl started between the three. Cosmo and Tails anime sweat dropped watching them. When they were done they all had scratches and bruises allover them "By the way Knucklehead your wife brought your son over to work and he said some intresting things like you video taped me drunk?" Shadow asked.

Knuckles eyes widened and looked at Ethan who was giggling. "Uh were do kids learn these things" Knuckles said innocently.

Shadow was about too punch him but Knuckles picked Ethan up and Shadow stopped "Thats low using your own son as a sheild"

"Gets the job done" Knuckles said.

Sonic stood up and grabbed MapleZen "I better go Amy will be pissed if she finds out i had MapleZen outside this long see yeah!" Sonic said zooming off.

Knuckles chuckled and started too walk off with Ethan Shadow looked at Tails and Cosmo struggling to carry the bags. "Why do you so many bags?" Shadow asked.

"Well we were going grocery shopping then i saw a part that makes the new plane im working on 10 times faster and some good paint. Cosmo found some flower seeds that she can make bloom at any season then we found this..." Tails said till Shadow stopped him.

"K thats enough you guys need help carrying that?" He asked.

Tails and Cosmo nodded and Shadow sighed picking up half the bags easily while Tails and Cosmo carried the rest. Cosmo and Tails were talking about stuff they live together but of course they dont do anything that most teenagers would do they kiss but thats pretty much it. It was an hour walk by the time they arrived Shadow was tired of there chattering he set the bags down in the living room about too leave when Tails said "Hey Shadow were you on a date?" He asked.

This cause Shadow too fall over onto his face and Cosmo helped him up. "Aww good for you that your dating Shadow" Cosmo said.

Shadow nodded and ran off unable too believe how quick the situation had changed. When he arrived at his place he sat down on the couch laying down looking at the card sighing he picked up his cellphone dialing the number and waited. Aura picked up in the third ring "Hello?" She asked.

"Aura would you like to go out agian?" Shadow asked.
