Greetings faithful readers, I would like to offer my sincerest apologies for not putting any authors notes in the last chapter. Well, ironically I don't actually have anything important to say this time, except for that apology. Well, any who, on with the story.

Chapter 3: Firery Back-Up

The next day, Shadow and Silver found themselves sitting at the same booth in McDonalds eating a couple of McMuffins for breakfast. Fortunately for them Silver managed to get the next three days off of work to help Shadow, but this time, he has called in a little help.

"So who'd you get to help me?" Shadow asked.

"Just an old friend of mine. She's one of the nicest people I know, and I know that she won't get on your nerves."

"Good, so, where is she?"

Silver looked over to the door, "There she is right now," Coming through the door was a purple cat with her hair tied back in a pony tail.

"Hey Blazey were over here," Silver called.

"Blaze! I thought you said that it was some one who wouldn't get on my nerves!"

"What have I ever done to you!" she fumed.

"Well, I'm just concerned that I'll lose my lunch, if you and Silver are going to be all lovey-dovey the whole time." Blaze then proceeded to torch shadows McMuffin.

"Do you want my help of not!" she snapped.

"What ever, but you owe me another McMuffin."

After Shadow got a new McMuffin, the trio sat down to decide what to do about Shadow.

"Alright, tell me what you got," Blaze said

"Well, we tried to get Shadow to say nice things to people..." Silver began.

"But all that got me was sore eyes, a punch in the jaw, and a trip into orbit." Shadow finished.

"That's because you kept insulting people instead!"

"I'm not surprised," Blaze said, "The only time Shadow does anything that can be considered remotely nice is in his games." Blazes face suddenly lit up, and she looked at Silver, who looked like he was thinking the same thing.

"See this is exactly the kind of sh*t I was talking about!" Shadow snapped.

"Shut it you! I think we may have just found your solution," Blaze said, "I was thinking, you never do anything nice in real life,"

"But you do in your games," Silver finished.

"How is that suppose to help?"

"Just trust me," Blaze said, "Now, let's go, we have work to do."

The trio went out to a semi-busy street in downtown Tokyo. This time, Silver was certain that his and Blaze's plan would work, Shadow was noticably less confident.

"Okay, Shadow, we're going to work on doing nice things," Blaze said.

"What, I couldn't even so much as compliment some ones hair. How am I supposed to actually do some thing nice?"

"I'll tell you. You know how they have you do plenty of nice things in your video games?" Blaze asked.

"Yes,"

"Well, if you could just get yourself into the mind set that you are in one of your games, you should then be able to do something nice,"

"So, basically you're saying to just pretend that I'm in a recording session for a video game?"

"Yes"

"Wait, that's your idea," Silver said, "I was just going to take a few cut scenes from the games he's been in, show them to the ESRB, and hope they buy it." Blaze gave him an annoyed look. "But you plan is good too."

"Good, now Shadow, see that old lady," Blaze began, "Help he across the street."

Shadow took a few minutes to get into the right mind set and then went over to the old lady. "Hello ma'm can I help you across the street?"

"Why certainly young man," the old lady responded. They then proceeded to walk across the street. Everything was going good.

"I think he might actually make it" Silver said. Suddenly, an ice-cream truck came around the corner and parked by the street side

"Ice-cream, get your ice-cream here,"

"Ice-cream!" Shadow yelled as he ran off and left the old lady half way across the street, but she just kept walking. Then, the light turned green. Silver and Blaze covered their eyes. All they could hear was screeching tires, honking horns, and crunching metal. When they opened their eyes they couldn't believe what they saw: in the middle of the street there was a 24 car pile-up, but even crazier, the old lady was safely on the other side of the street. To the side they saw Shadow eating a vanilla cone.

"Hey guys, there's ice-cream over there," he said obliviously. Blaze punched him in the face.

"So clearly we need to work on your attention span to," Blaze said back at, you guessed it, McDonalds.

"Well sorry, but who can resist ice-cream," Shadow retorted while holding a raw steak over his eye, "So, any more bright ideas?"

"Give me a minute I'm thinking, you got anything Silver."

"Well, I was thinking, your idea was good, but what if we had Shadow do something that is closer to what he does in his games." the white hedgehog answered.

"What do you mean?" Shadow asked.

"When ever you do something that can be considered nice in you games, it involves stopping a bad guy, right."

"Right, so?"

"So, all you need to do is go vigilante."

"Seriously Silver." Blaze began, "This isn't some kind of cartoon were you can just randomly become a famous vigilante over night, this is real life. And besides, what are the chances that we'll find a random crime in progress for Shadow to stop" Suddenly a guy comes bursting through the door waving his arms.

"Help, help, the Burger King next door is being robbed!"

"I stand corrected." Both Silver and Blaze look at Shadow.

"I hate Burger King, but I am getting desperate." Shadow then activated his skates and speed out the door, Silver and Blaze fallowed him.

Inside Burger King there were three men in suits holding the restaurant up. Two were holding guns at the customers who were on the floor, while the leader was holding a gun to the cashier. "Okay bub, clean out duh register, and stuff it into the bag, ya hear." And, for the record, they belong to the mafia

"Stop right there robbers!" The three robbers turned to the door and saw Shadow standing there. "Okay, put down the guns and no one gets hurt!" the robbers point the guns toward Shadow, "Okay, you asked for it!" Shadow then did a spin dash toward one of the robbers watching the customers, knocking him out the window. The other two started shooting at him, but Shadow dodged the bullets by running along the ceiling. He then jumped down to the floor and grabbed the gun of the robber he knocked through the window.

"Ah, he has a gun!" the other robber holding up the customers yelled as he dropped the floor.

"You dope, we both gots guns." Shadow then teleported over to the robber on the floor and grabbed his gun, and pointed the two he was now holding at the guy at the register.

"Ah, screw it, dis aint woith it," the robber said before running out the door. Everyone then cheered for Shadow

"Shadow you did it!" Blaze and Silver both exclaimed while coming through the door.

"I did! Now I get to keep my job!"

"And I would also like to offer you a life time supply of cheese burgers for saving my restaurant," the manager said.

"Sweet, I could get used to being ni-ei-yi... Ah screw it. Say casher, I'll take one of those free cheese burgers."

"Right away!" He runs into the back and returned with a cheese burger. Shadow takes it and bites into it, while every one continues cheering. But suddenly, his expression darkened, and his eyes started twitching. He turned toward the casher. "You forgot the ONIONS!"

"Oh, sh*t," Silver exclaims before jumping into Blazes arms Scooby-Doo style. Blaze quickly ran out the door before the restaurant exploded.

Kindly review.
