Green eyes fluttered open and focused in. Sonic was laying on street with police and ambulances surrounding him. He sat up and tried to remember what happened. 'Today's my anniversary with Shadow, we had dinner and was going somewhere on his bike.' As Sonic recollected his thoughts he looked around.

As he looked he saw someone being lifted into an ambulance. It was a black hedgehog, and if he looked closer he could see red. 'Black...and red hedgehog... Shadow!' Sonic jumped up and ran as best as he could to the ambulance. He saw something that he never wanted to see. Shadow was covered in bruises and blood. His leg was in a odd position that screamed broken. His lip was cut and also bleeding. "Shadow.." Sonic whispered as he looked at him.

"Shadow! No, Shadow!" He screamed as he tried to fight the paramedics to get to Shadow.

"Let me go! Let me go, Shadow!" Sonic yelled as tears poured down his muzzle.

"Sir, pleas-" one of the paramedics tried to calm him down, only to be cut off.

"No, let me go!"

"Sir please calm down-"

"No, I have to see Shadow!"

"Sir, the longer you keep them here the more chance he has of dying!" The paramedic said as he held on to Sonic. Sonic finally calmed down and the paramedic let him go. He fell to the ground in tears as he called out for Shadow.

"Sir I'm sorry about what's happened, but I need to check for any injuries." The paramedic said as he help Sonic walk over to the other ambulance. As they check out everything, his mind kept going to Shadow.'Why didn't he stop? I told we were gonna crash, and looked at what happened.'

...

Sonic was in the hospital sitting in their uncomfortable chairs thinking about what Officer Jake said.

(Flashback)

"Excuse me Sonic, Officer Jake, you and your partner was going at least 100 miles per hour in a 68 mile per hour zone." He said as he looked at his notepad. "Am I going to get a ticket?" Sonic asked as he wiggled his sprained ankle. "You would, but it looks like your brakes were broken. When was the last time you had them done?" Officer Jake asked.

"If I remember correctly, Shadow said he got them done a month ago." Sonic said and officer Jake looked surprised. "Is there, by chance, somebody out to kill you?" The officer asked. "Other than Eggman, no and he's in jail." Sonic answered as he thought of who would want Shadow dead.

"Officer Jake!" Another Officer called

"Yes Stephen?"

"About the breaks. It looks like they've been chewed threw, not cut threw." Officer Stephan said standing next to Jake. "Oh, well I guess we'll be on our way and let you go to the hospital." He said as he tipped his hat and walked away.

(Flashback end)

'What would chew on a bike?' Sonic thought as he sat there waiting for any news about Shadow, particularly good news.

"Sonic!"

"Sonic looked up startled as everyone crashed in.

"Shh!" The receptionist shushed everyone.

"Sonic, thank goodness your alright!" Amy sighed as she latched herself onto Sonic in a hug.

"Yeah, I thought I lost you." Tails said as his eyes started to tear up. "I'm alright, its Shadow that's hurt. Apparently, the breaks were chewed threw and broke while we were riding." Sonic explained as everyone sat down.

They all got a call from the hospital that Sonic and Shadow were in a crash.

"Where's Shadow?" Rouge asked as she sat next to Sonic. "H-he's in the emergency room for surgery. He has a broken leg, and he bruises and cuts everywhere." Sonic start to cry again at remembering Shadow's motionless body.

"Oh Big Blue, he'll be okay." Rouge said as she rubbed his back comfortably. "You know he's strong and the 'Ultimate Lifeform'." She smiled. He smiled too as he remembered all the times when he would brag about being the Ultimate Lifeform when he would sometimes win in races.

"You right Rouge. He'll pull through." He breathed as she hugged him. She was always like a mother figure to them. "Of course I'm right, it me were talking about." she smirked, trying to lift his spirits.

"Yeah always right, that's exactly why we got lost on that one trip." Knuckles scoffed, leaning on the wall. "That was your fault, don't try and blame it on me. And all because you didn't want to ask for directions. Seriously, what with you men and asking for directions?" Rouge asked and Amy nodded.

"I know like one time me and Silver were on a trip to the beach, and got lost on the way back cause someone couldn't ask for directions." Amy said, sending pointing a look at Sliver. "What?" He said as he caught green eyes looking at him.

As the continued their conversation about directions, Scourge came and sat next to sonic. "Hey Blue..." He said as he looked into green eyes. Sonic smiled sadly. "Hey Scourge."

"How are feeling." He asked as he watched everyone talk, trying to keep hope in everybody. "I'm...I don't know. It's just so much going on right now. It's to much..." Sonic mumbled as he looked at Scourge. Sonic never understood why Scourge stayed by his side. Or why he was so worried about him.

"Listen Sonic... I-"

"Sonic?" A doctor interrupted Scourge. "Yes." He asked he stood. Everyone else's stopped talking and paid attention. "You can see him now, but he is still not awake." The doctor turned as he saw them follow eagerly.

Sonic's stomach started to do flips as they walked. He wanted to see him so bad and was a little frustrated with how slow they were going. Finally, they turned into a room filled with equipment he didn't know about. As he looked at Shadow, he started to cry again.

He ran to him and hugged him like he hasn't seen him in centuries, and for him, it felt like it. "Shadow was hit pretty badly. He had a mild concussion, but no other injuries to the brain. He had three broken ribs, one of the was dangerously close to punctuating his heart. We were able to move it before it could. He also has sprained wrist and a broken leg." The doctor announced as everyone held there breath.

"So...He'll live, right?" Sonic asked as he held his hand. "Yes, he should live." The doctor agreed and everyone was able to breath. "Thank goodness..." Sonic whispered under his breath.

Everyone was smiling when suddenly, he flat lined.

A.N: I don't know how you would be able to tell if something is cut threw or chewed threw, but let's just say there was someone there to specialized in that. Sorry if anything medical is wrong, I'm not a doctor and don't plan on being one. To advance for me. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. 'Till next time, bye!
