For Twizzle-fizz and HBee16. Thanks for reviewing!

Silver the Hedgehog was sick. Very, very sick.

Right now he was half-stumbling, half-jogging through the corridors of town hall, searching for the bathroom in a frenzy.

I know they have a bathroom here somewhere! What kind of public building doesn't put in a bathroom? Ugh…

Silver continued his search, panting heavily, glancing up wildly at every door he came to. If he didn't find the bathroom soon, he'd be in some deep shit…literally.

The silver-white hedgehog skidded around a corner and there it was, there on the right side of the hallway. Oh, thank Chaos! Silver thought as he pushed open the door with one hand, the other hand still cradling his churning stomach.

The hedgehog practically fell into the bathroom. As he straightened up halfway, Silver got a glimpse of himself in one of the mirrors positioned above the sinks. What he saw was a silvery white hedgehog, yellow-gold eyes darting wildly across the glass, sweat rolling off of his body in little rivers. His gloved hands protected his stomach region, while his legs were bent in towards each other. Silver almost-almost-laughed at the comical sight of himself. But just then, his stomach let out a mighty roar, echoing across the bathroom walls. The hedgehog pitched forward, almost falling down onto the tiled floor in front of him.

Ohhhh, Chaos…

The hedgehog zipped into the first stall he saw, letting the door slam behind him.

"Silver! SILVER!" called the blue hedgehog as he walked through the same corridors that the white hedgehog had just stumbled through like a madman. "Darn. Where could he be? The ceremony has to start now!" Sonic mumbled to himself, wishing that the task of looking for Silver had not been given to him.

The official had insisted that both Sonic and Shadow go look for Silver, so they could save time and get the show on the road. But the dark hedgehog, having regained composure and reverted back into his normal, not-totally-shocked self, had turned to Sonic with an evil smirk as soon as the official had walked out.

"Have fun, Faker. I'll be right here when you get back with Dumbass," Shadow announced, using his nicknames for both hedgehogs as he settled back into his chair. Sonic had glowered back, "No, Shadow, you're coming to help me! What if I never find him? You know how he is!"

Shadow had simply half-smiled up at the blue hedgehog. "I do know how he is, which is why I'm not even going to try searching for him. Like I said, have fun."

Sonic, unwilling to argue with Shadow anymore, had simply gone ahead and began the search for Silver on his own. Now he was walking through these stupid halls, searching for a hedgehog that had seemingly disappeared.

"Where could he BE?" Sonic asked himself again, looking around at closed doors. The blue hedgehog, seeing a corner coming up, decided to speed up. He flew around the corner, and slowing to a normal pace, stopped short when he saw the bathroom.

"Maybe…?" Sonic said to himself, before ever so gently pushing open the door.

At once the blue hedgehog was hit with an invisible force that knocked him back onto the door that had just closed itself behind him. Sonic's back smacked into the wood, and he slid down to the ground, covering his nose with his gloved hands.

"What in the…?" Sonic choked out, voice muffled underneath his gloves. Silver, realizing that Sonic had come into the bathroom, nervously pulled his legs up and held them in place by circling his arms around them protectively. Please, Chaos, don't let Sonic find me…

Sonic was still sitting on the floor trying not to die from fume inhalation when an attempt to push open the door behind him was made. Once again Sonic was knocked in the back of the head by the same door. Sonic, outraged but still holding his hands over his nose, turned to look through the crack in the door.

"Shadow, don't. Seriously," Sonic tried to tell the dark hedgehog, as Shadow glared down on him. "What in the hell are you doing, Sonic?" the dark hedgehog asked, taking in the scene of Sonic sitting on the floor of the bathroom, holding his nose. Sonic shook his head. "I really don't know. But don't come in here. I'm serious," Sonic insisted as Shadow pushed against the door even more.

"Have you found Silver yet? Everyone back at the main hall is freaking out and bugging me about it!" Shadow growled, still pushing against the door. Sonic lifted himself up off the floor and planted his shoes on the tiled floor in front of him, trying to keep Shadow out. "Shadow, I'm being nice here. This is for your own good. You can't come in here," Sonic told him.

"Like hell I can't!" Shadow threatened. Silver sat shivering in the stall, listening to their argument and hoping that Sonic won and succeeded in keeping Shadow out. Silver could deal with Sonic finding out about this, but not Shadow.

However, Sonic had worked out a new plan. Shadow was being quite disagreeable, and it was time to punish him. The blue hedgehog grinned to himself.

"Fine. You wanna come in, Shads? Then be my guest!" With these words, Sonic jumped off the floor and sped over to the corner of the bathroom, next to the door. Shadow promptly fell into the bathroom and skidded all the way across the tiles to the other side of the bathroom, rolling head over heels. Coming to a stop when he hit the wall, Shadow glared at Sonic from upside-down.

"Gee, thanks, Faker, I really…" All of a sudden Shadow's words fell off, and his crimson eyes widened in horror.

Sonic, laughing with glee, gave Shadow a thumbs-up. "You wanted to come in, Shads! Bye!" And with that, Sonic zipped back out the door, shutting it behind him. He then took a heavy table sitting along the wall outside the bathroom and pushed it in front of the bathroom door. Sonic knew it wouldn't keep Shadow in forever, but it would for a few minutes.

Meanwhile, Shadow had stood up inside the bathroom and leaned against the wall, not even daring to breathe through his nose anymore. "What…the…HELL?" Shadow roared. Inside the stall Silver squeaked in terror.

Shadow turned to look at the stalls; he was now at the other side of the bathroom, opposite from where Silver was. Shadow walked over to the first stall and banged it open with his fist, sparks shooting out from his hands. Empty.

Silver, realizing what was happening, began looking around wildly. There was no escape. No matter what he did, Shadow would know it was him. And so, without further ado, Silver gave up and waited for the end to come.

Shadow continued on down the line of stalls, each door flying wide open at the impact from his sparking fist. Each one came up empty. He was getting closer and closer to Silver's stall…

Sonic was back in his fluffy purple chair, lazily watching the plasma screen TV on the wall. He had his feet propped up on the arm of another chair. When he heard the arguing voices, he smirked and turned to the door.

The Ultimate Lifeform stomped into the room angrily. He held a quite injured Silver by one of his quills, dragging the white hedgehog along behind him. Silver was kicking his feet repeatedly and trying to get Shadow's gloved hand off of his trapped quill, to no avail. The guilty hedgehog was also speaking a mile a minute.

"What would you have done, Shadow? Just tell me, what would you have done? You can't sit here and tell me that you would've just gone up in front of all those people when you were sick as a dog! That would've been an embarrassment to all of us, which is why I didn't go up there! You have no idea how sick I felt! And I had no idea that Mexican food had such horrible side effects! You can't blame me for that either! You can't blame me for having stomach problems! You can't, you can't, you can't!"

Shadow gave an exasperated sigh and let go of Silver, letting him drop to the floor with a thud. "Shut up, Silver. Just stop talking," the dark hedgehog groaned as he slouched over to his chair and flopped down into it. Sonic simply grinned at the fact that while he had been sent to find Silver, it ended up being Shadow who had to bring him back. Score.

However, Shadow had turned to stare at Sonic, and the blue hedgehog could've sworn that he felt invisible Chaos Spears stabbing him everywhere. "I'll deal with you later, Faker," Shadow hissed, quills bristling. Sonic sighed and kicked back once again. "As you wish, Shads," he said, winking at the angry dark hedgehog.

The same official ran back into the room. "Oh, good, you found him! All right, it's time for the ceremony to start," the official said, motioning to another official who quickly ran back into the main hall, probably to let everyone else know that the ceremony could finally get underway.

Silver, rubbing the back of his head, stood up with a groan. "You know what? I just wanna say before we do this, that I hate both of you," the white hedgehog pouted. Sonic gave him another thumbs-up, while Shadow only glared daggers at Silver's stomach.

The official came back in for the last time. "All right, let's go," the official said, and the three hedgehogs quickly lined up to file into the main hall: Sonic first, already smiling a wide grin for the public; Shadow behind him, looking as cool and badass as he always did; and Silver in last, looking quite tired, bruised all over…and still rather sweaty.

The end. (: Please R&R!
