One day, Shadow was walking down the street. He saw one of Eggman's robots and ran to destroy it, but he tripped and fell flat on his face.
Growling, he stood to chase after the robot, but it seemed to have disappeared.
Annoyed, Shadow began walking towards his destination again, which was the supermarket. A few steps later, he saw a person dressed in a taco costume and tripped. He fell flat on his face again.
Now Shadow was getting really annoyed, and people were starting to stare. But people always stared at him because he wasn't fully human, so he was used to it.
He stood and decided to pretend that he was in the army, and if he tripped he would be beaten by the Commander.
Reaching the street, he looked both ways and began to cross. Right in the middle, however, he tripped and fell flat on his face.
Scowling, he lay there twitching to an invisible beating for about a minute, cars honking all the while. Finally, he stood and resumed walking.
While walking, he tried to figure out why he kept tripping. People were probably thinking he needed to be put in a mental hospital, after what had just happened.
Shadow saw Sonic up ahead, doing his daily rounds. Growling, he decided to chase after him. But before he could even take two steps, he tripped and fell flat on his face again.
He stood and hoped Sonic hadn't seen that. But when he looked, Sonic was standing not three feet from him and laughing.
Shadow roared his annoyance and attacked Sonic. Well, he tried to, anyway. He ended up face-down on the sidewalk only two inches from where he had started. Sonic was still standing there, laughing.
Shadow stood again. There had to be something wrong with him.
He looked down and realized what it was. He face-palmed. He couldn't believe that he had been so stupid.
Shadow was wearing defective shoes.
Heh heh.
