As the golden morning sun rose above the horizon, A small blue hedgehog had opened his eyes for the first time. At the child's first breath, the golden sparking sun shone its light on him, blessing the child for a good life. The savior of Mobius has been born. The baby snuggled in a woman's arms. *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE-* Sonic shut off the alarm, and quickly rose from his bed. He looked outside, to see the same golden sunrise from in his dream. And like before, The sun shone it's golden sparkling ray on sonic, blessing him for a good life. This would happen every year on this birthday, though sonic did not know why. Why would such a thing happen? Who was that woman he had dreams about? Sonic would always have the same dream the night before his birthday. He walked down the steps, getting ready for the day, his 16 birthday. When he stepped downstairs, The lights were shut off. "Hey, who turned out the lights!" said sonic. sonic knew it was a surprise party, but he went along anyway.

"You did sonic" said tails. He had walked up behind him a few seconds ago.

"oh." said sonic. he was a little disappointed, but hid it very well.

"sonic, I want you to see what I made!" said tails, sonic could see the excitement in his eyes.

"ok." said sonic. He wondered if tails even remembered it was his birthday today.

Tails lead sonic to his workshop, When he turned on the lights, there was his surprise party.

"surprise!" everyone yelled.

"I'll admit, you got me this time!" said sonic, with a giggle.

Everyone was there. Tails, Knuckles,Omega,Rouge,Jet,Storm,Wave,Big,Amy,Cream,Cheese,Espio,Vector,Charmy,Blaze,SIlver,Mighty,Froggy,Even egg man and shadow was there! Eggman almost got kicked out for trying to put a bomb in the cake, and shadow was off in a dark corner somewhere. NO one really knew shadow was there. The only one that wasn't there was Omochao, Lets just say shadow had a pistol and found him on the way to the party quickly started. Everyone was gobbling down chilli-dogs, accept for vector, he was trying to find the computer room. Everyone was very happy, except for sonic. He was kinda sad, but didn't know why. Sonic wasn't the best at hiding emotions, so tails and shadow both quickly noticed. Shadow stayed in the shadows, but was curious. Tails however, walked up to sonic.

"what's wrong sonic?" asked tails.

Sonic thought for a moment, then said "I'm not sure. It just feels like someone is missing."

This caught shadow's attention. Shadow listened closely, but didn't leave his dark corner.

He had felt that way his entire life!(Shadow did).

Tails looked at the crowd, then said "Omochao is not here." said tails

"to be honest, i'm glad he isn't." said sonic, with a slight giggle. "it just feels like someone is missing, Someone that no one knows, someone from a long time ago that is long forgotten". Now, shadow was really interested. Could it be true that Sonic is feeling what shadow has for a long time?

Silver then looked back at sonic when he heard him say that. Could he be talking about elise? wondered silver. Silver was unaffected for some reason when time was rewritten. Silver dismissed the thought, then said something to himself "Sonic almost sounds like shadow". Silver looked back at shadow, then winked. shadow was done wondering and decided to say something.

"You finally ge it, faker?" asked shadow. Everyone stopped and stared at shadow when he walked out of that corner.

"Look who decided to show there face" said sonic. "so, what do you mean, you finally get it?"

"You said You felt like someone was missing, someone long forgotten and from a long time ago." said shadow.

"What dose that have to do with anything?" asked sonic.

"I've felt that way all my life." said shadow. He gave a slight devil-ish grin
