*Chapter 2: A Halloween to Forget*

(Shadow's POV)

"Wakey wakey Mr. Shadow," I slowly opened my eyes to see Cream poking my chest fur with her index finger, "Miss Amy said to wake you up." I sat up on Vanilla's couch and slowly took in my surroundings. Everything in the room was cream, white, pink, or a mixture of the three, even the couch was a light cream color. "Come on Mr. Shadow or Amy is going to be really mad at you!" Cream got me to stand on my feet by pulling on my hand until I stood.

I stretched my legs and back, and looked down at Cream, "Alright I'm up, now where's Amy?" Cream looked around and stared at the floor innocently. "Cream where's Amy?" The little rabbit kicked some dust on the floor and looked around.

"Miss Amy… she's umm… she's…" I stared at the toddler trying to make up an excuse. I shook my head at her. "Amy didn't want me did she Cream?" The rabbit looked confused that I figured out her plan, "No she didn't, I just wanted to see if you would take me to the park Mr. Shadow."

I petted Cream's head and smirked, "Of course I will, now go ask your mother if you can." She excitedly squealed and ran off to find her mother. "Humph kids." I slowly walked out into the morning sun to see children and their parents running around happily together, I thought to myself, "Maybe someday…" Suddenly Cream ran up to me, grabbed my hand, and dashed off towards the park. "Hey Cream slow down, what's the rush?"

As me and Cream walked into Station Square I noticed quite a bit of children were dressed as demons and ghouls. "Cream, what is going on? Why do children dress up like that?" Cream laughed at me and started swinging my hand. "It's Halloween Mr. Shadow, people dress up to get candy!" I processed this new holiday and its meaning. "Hmm strange…"

As the day progressed the amount of costumed individuals increased. Everything was normal until around 4:30 P.M, I felt my pocket begin to vibrate because of my cell phone. 'There are few who deny at what I do I am the best for my tal…' I reached into my pocket and retrieved my phone."Hello…Yes I understand…No I can be there right away…Alright…See you there." I hung up my phone and looked down at a confused Cream, "Sorry Cream I got to take you home, I have an errand I have to run for Faker." She looked down at the street depressed, "Hey it's ok Cream we will go tomorrow promise." She perked up at that thought and happily skipped home. "Now what does Faker want me to do on Angel Island…"
