Sonic awoke to Shadowing shaking him back and forth. He let out a big yawn while looking out the window to find that they have landed. Sonic stood up, waiting for Shadow to hand him his luggage.

"So, what's the plan for getting across the border?" He asked.

"I know a guy that can get us some fake ID but we'll have to change our appearances," Rouge said while applying her makeup.

"What about Omega?" Sonic asked.

"We'll have to find a way to smuggle him in," Shadow said while handing Sonic his suitcase.

They exited the plane, Sonic suggested they grab breakfast at one of the airport restaurants. Omega didn't need to eat but he decided to join them anyways.

"So, who is this 'guy' exactly?" Shadow asked as he took another bite of his waffle.

'If you're wondering whether he'll try to scam or kill us, don't, he couldn't hurt a fly," Rouge assured him.

Shadow rolled his eyes and continued to eat his breakfast. He eyed Sonic as he scarfed down his stack of pancakes like he was a starving animal.

"Slow down hedgehog, if you keep eating like that you're going to choke," Shadow said.

Sonic just rolled his eyes, earning a snort from Rouge.

Rouge guided them through bustling city streets and dark alleyways. Eventually, they found themselves outside a rundown apartment building. She pressed the button for her contact's apartment, the man on the other side sounded annoyed as they were buzzed into the building. The man let them into his apartment, Rouge went with him to discuss what they'll want for the IDs.

"Omega, keep an eye on Sonic. I'm going to join Rouge," Shadow whispered.

"New Objective: Watch Sonic The Hedgehog." Omega said.

Sonic wandered around the room, looking at pictures and nicknacks. Omega sat on the couch, keeping a close robotic eye on the blue hedgehog. He sighed and collapsed onto the couch.

"Well, this is boring," Sonic muttered to himself, "Right?"

"Correct." Omega said.

Shadow poked his head out of the side room, "hey Sonic, we're ready for the pictures."

A rack of clothes sat in the middle of the room. Rouge leaned against the wall, her face obscured by a pair of sunglasses and a wide brim hat.

"Pick out an outfit big blue," she said.

Sonic moved to the rack, quickly skimming through the assortment of clothes. He pulled out a white sweater dress and maroon parka.

"I never took you as the type to wear a dress," Shadow commented.

Sonic shrugged, "I actually kinda like them but they aren't so good for running so I hardly ever wear one," he said.

Sonic left to go change as Shadow picked out his own disguise, a black trenchcoat and fedora. Rouge rolled her eyes as she dusted of her magenta pea coat. Sonic and Shadow stepped out the changing rooms.

Rouge's contact took their pictures, placing them in the fake IDs. Sonic opened his, the name Nicky Parlouzer was in a regular font next to the picture. He put it in his pocket and followed Shadow out of the room as Rouge paid.

"So, how are we going to hide Omega?" Sonic asked.

"We'll probably hide him in a crate," Shadow said.

"Powering down," Omega said as he put himself into sleep mode.

Shadow picked up the 'sleeping' robot and placed them into a wooden crate, placing it with the rest of the train's cargo. He returned to the others, Rouge handing him his ticket. Sonic tapped his foot, impatient as ever as they waited for the train to arrive.

The train came to a screeching halt at the station. They picked up their luggage and weaved through the crowd towards the locomotive. They showed the conductor their ID's and tickets, punching the tickets and letting them on the train.

Sonic carried his luggage onto the train behind Shadow and Rouge, one of the other passengers was pushing past everyone else to get to her seat faster. People grumbled and yelped as she pushed past them, she shoved Sonic to the side causing him to fall.

"Hey!" Shadow yelled, stopping the lady in her tracks.

Rouge helped Sonic up, helping him bring his luggage to their seat as Shadow glared the woman down.

"Wait your fucking turn," he growled.

Shadow sat down next to Sonic who was rubbing his head due to the fall.

"Are you okay Big Blue?" Rouge asked.

"Yeah, my head just hurts from the fall," he said.

Shadow put his hand on his shoulder, "I can get you an ice pack."

Sonic shook his head yes. Shadow flagged down a porter, asking for an ice pack while Rouge ordered some food. The train had just left the station when the porter brought them the ice pack.

Shadow stared out the window, picking at his food as Sonic and Rouge ate their lunches. The sound of Sonic's laughter brought a smile to his face, light yet strong. Said hedgehog nudged his dark companion, he turned his head to find him with two straws in his mouth and clapping his hands together like a seal. The red streaked hedgehog burst out laughing at the ridiculous sight.

"You're ridiculous!" He wheezed.

Rouge banged her fist against the wooden table, tears formed in her eyes she was laughing so hard. They eventually calmed down and moved on to discussing the mission.

"So, where's the weapon being held?" Sonic asked, making sure to not let anyone over hear him.

"Our intel states that it's somewhere in Robotnik's main lab in the Empire's capital city," Rouge said.

"I wish we knew what it was," Shadow muttered.

"Hey, knowing Egghead it's probably just another robot!" Sonic jokes.

Shadow rolled his eyes at his childish even if it brought a smile to his face.

Authors Note: Here's chapter two! I know it took a while but I really like how it turned out. For some context, Nicky Parlouzer is a refrence to an old Sonic manga and I chose to have him wear a dress since in some of the old cartoons he would pretend to be a girl while undercover. Thank you for reading! Chapter three will be out soon.
