Greetings Fan Fiction community, I am Sir Thomas Roberts, and I'm new to this site. Therefore this is my first story. This Chapter is a little short, but I promise you that the later ones will be longer. This story takes place in the real world and all the video game and cartoon characters are actors, but still have their powers. And now I am pleased to present:

Shadow the Nice Hedgehog

Chapter 1: The Madness Begins

Shadow the Hedgehog, the most epic video game character in history, or, at least that's how he introduces himself. Shadow was sitting in the living room of his 10 million dollar beach side estate outside of Tokyo, Japan. He was sipping root beer from a can of A&W, while happily playing his favorite video game, Shadow the Hedgehog.

"D*mnit, why do I keep getting beat in these frickin' ARK levels!" Okay, so he's not that happy, but what else is new.

"Pardon me, sir," said his butler Seamus.

"What is it! Can't you see I'm busy kicking this video game's *ss,"

"Yes I can see that, sir," he responded in a sarcastic manner, "But you have mail," he handed the black hedgehog his mail.

"Ah yes, thank you. Let's see water bill, junk, electric bill, trash, oh look at this an envelope from SEGA I bet it's this month's paycheck."

"Maybe you should use it on those bills, sir,"

"Of course not Seamus, that's what your paycheck is for. Now take this to the bank and cash it for me will ya," He handed the envelope to Seamus, and the butler opened it. But instead of a check it was a letter. He slowly read over it with a puzzled look.

"Is something the matter?" the black Hedgehog asked.

"Oh my,"

"What?"

"Don't shoot the messenger, and I mean that literally, but..."

**Later at SEGA's main building**

In a cozy office, high above the city of Tokyo, SEGA's president (Mr. Pres) sat comfortably at his desk idly playing solitaire on his computer. That was until...

"Sir, you have a very angry hedgehog here to see you." said the female secretary over the intercom. He sighed, knowing that this was going to happen eventually.

"Send him in" he said.

Suddenly his office door was blown up and in its place, stood a very VERY angry hedgehog.

SEGA's president sighed again, "I loose more doors that way."

"What is this!" Shadow yelled while slamming the accursed letter on to the desk. By now you probably knew it was him.

"Just what it looks like, a pink slip."

"Yes, I know what it is but why am I getting one!"

"Didn't you even read it in its entirety?"

"Yeah, but did you!"

"Oh, no, I just some how managed to write it without ever looking at it." Mr. Pres. sarcastically retorted.

"Then allow me!" Shadow said, too angry to notice the sarcasm, "Dear Mister Shadow, Due to your atrocious behavior the ESRB has requested that we discontinue you role in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and as such you are currently no longer in our employment. Sincerely the SEGA President"

Mr. Pres sighed again, "Look, the ESRB has taken notice to your actions, outside of video games of course, and believes that you are setting a bad example for today's youth, and therefore, ordered us to terminate your contract. Besides, I think we both know that you have had a noticeable violence streak."

"Then why not just put me in an M rated video game or something?"

"Because, it's not your video games the ESRB is worried about, it's you average every day actions they are concerned with."

"Like what,"

"Well there was that time when you used your chaos blast to knock everyone out of the way in the ice-cream truck line."

"Right,"

"Then you drove your motorcycle through the roof of one of our other employee's houses."

"Okay,"

"And finally there was that time you leveled half of Tokyo just because the server at Burger King forgot to put onions on your cheese burger."

"Fine, I see your point, but there has to be some way to save my career."

"Well there may be one way. The ESRB is coming to inspect some of our new games in three days, if you can somehow prove to them that you aren't as bad as you seem, they may allow us to keep your contract."

"Great, what do I have to do?"

"To put it simply, you have to, dare I say it, you have to be... nice." Shadow almost fainted.
