Enjoy!
"Your film is a blockbuster!"
Shadow just got out of the plain from Mumbai to Dehradun where he would meet his two best friends would greet him and take him home. Although they had other plans to greet him as usual.
As soon as Shadow stepped out of the plain, he looked around for his friends. He looked to the left and then to the right, but then he had to take a double look at the right and saw his two friends dancing towards him with a band following right behind them. Shadow was shocked by what his friends were doing. And he tried to stop them.
"I can't tell you how proud I was to read your name on the big screen. It was amazing!" yelled the purple chameleon as the silver hedgehog took a bunch of pictures.
Shadow was getting angry at the fact he was being treated like a huge celebrity when he wasn't. "Why all this drama Espio?" he yelled. "This isn't drama, it's a celebration." Said Espio. "Full filmy style." Said Silver.
"Have you gone mad? The cops have come. Let's get out of here! Stop this nonsense! Is it a minister's reception? Making all this noise!" Yelled Shadow as he told his friends to stop the band, which they did.
Finally Shadow, Silver, and Espio got into the car. Sliver drove and Shadow sat in the passenger seat while Espio sat in the back. On the way to Shadow's house , he told his friends why he was back and told them about Sonic wanting a bride.
"So this is why you've come to Dehradun." Said Silver while driving.
"Hey, it's only a girl. We'll find one. Relax." Said Espio trying to calm Shadow's nerves.
They finally reached their destination to drop Shadow off. Shadow took a deep breath and got out the car and took is belongings with him.
"Listen, call me later, Alright? And yes, say my 'hi' to uncle!" said Silver as him and Espio left laughing.
Shadow just rolled his eyes and stared to walk to his house when his butler who was an orange colored fox came to him.
"Shadow. Hello. Welcome Home!" said the fox as he took Shadow's belongings from him and walked with him to the house.
"Hi Josh. How are you?" said Shadow with a smile.
"I'm good." Said Josh and they continued to walk.
"My child is here!" an older woman hedgehog was standing at the door greeting Shadow with a big hug. Her name was Aleena. She was very beautiful. Aleena broke the hug to look at her son.
"You look so weak." She said holding on to his son running her hands up and down his arms.
"The same line again. Look, you are the mother of a soon to be great Bollywood director. Please, come up with some better dialogue." Shadow said to his mother. His mother looked at him then crossed her arms and put on a serious look.
"How many men?" she said.
Shadow started to laugh, "Mom's that's dad's line." And they both started laughing. "Where is the Colonel?" "He's waiting for you inside. Lets go." His mother followed him inside.
At the dinner table, it was quiet. Not a sound was to be heard. Shadow's father was sitting in the middle while Shadow and Aleena were sitting next to him opposite to each other. His father's name was Julian the Hedgehog. He used to be a Colonel for the Indian Army. Now he has retired and is staying home with his wife Aleena. While their two sons Sonic and Shadow go out and live their dream. He was looking straight at Shadow while they were eating and had on a serious face. Finally after some time, Julian was the first to speak.
"Are you going to speak or should I?" he said not turning away from Shadow.
"Y-Yes dad?" said Shadow as he was nervous. His mother saw this and spoke.
"Listen. The poor boy's just arrived."
"Hmmmm!"
When his father hummed, it echoed the room. Shadow began to get more and more nervous by the minute. As he continued to eat.
"You know, Shadow…I'm sick of you and your generation. Your generation, it's the...SMS generation. Totally confused." Said Julian he was still very serious and continued to talk.
"Look at Sonic….. All these years he'd been saying...that he would marry a girl from London. But yesterday, he calls and says No! I will marry an Indian girl. And that I shouldn't select any girl. It's Shadow who will do that...because he understands me better. Great then. Go find." His father said before looking away and went back to eating his dinner. Shadow looked at him then to his mother.
"Shadow, don't worry. Dad has arranged to see some girls. We'll go and meet them." His mother said putting a smile on Shadow's face as went back to eating his food.
"When?" asked Shadow.
"Tomorrow!" his father said to him.
(I'm doing a series of different girls back and forth so try a keep up!)
The young yellow hedgehog girl brought some snacks for Shadow and Aleena. Shadow took a bite out the snacks and froze a bit, realizing it didn't taste good. Heck it tasted awful. Shadow and his mother wanted to spit it out but they didn't want to disrespect her and her parents so they ended up eating it.
"Very tasty!" said Shadow with his mouth full of food and putting on a fake smile. He looked at his mother who also put on a fake smile and nodded.
"My 22-year-old Mani made it herself." Her mother said making her blush.
"How many pounds does your brother earn?" her father said pulling out a calculator.
"I guess about 80 thousand." Shadow said with his mother still full of food.
Her father did some calculations, "How much is that in Indian Rupees?"
The next girl was very shy. She moved her hair out of hair face and put it behind her ear.
"What do you do?" asked Shadow.
"I do stitching. I can sew everything." She said.
"Really? How nice." Shadow said.
"Don't worry, son." Her father said. "My whole snack factory is in her name. I shall give you in dowry."
"My girl studied in a Delhi College. We've brought her up with a lot of love and pride."
"Hello." said Shadow
"So you work in films?" another girl asked.
"Yes." Said Shadow.
"Does he have a car?"
"He has the company car." Said Shadow with his mouth still full of food.
"Once during her childhood, a boy broke my girl's doll." A father said.
"oh no!" said Shadow.
"And these two brothers broke his ribs." He said.
"So sweet." Said Shadow a little scared.
"Will you... cast me as a heroine? One audition?" she said and started dancing and acting in front of Shadow. Aleena looked confused and so did Shadow.
"What is your size?" the girl asked.
"Small." said Shadow.
"Small?" she asked confused.
"No I mean….38…40." he said trying to save himself.
"Shall I stitch?" she asked.
"What?"
"Shirt."
"No, no. Thank you."
"Coat?"
"No."
"Raincoat."
"Raincoat?"
"Dollar... money...Your wedding clothes... Ours."
"Tell me that you love me."
"Drink milk!"
"I am going to be the mother of your child."
"Drink milk. Milk!"
"Mani-honey...they have money!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Shadow had just about enough of these girls. He didn't like any of them. And he knew that Sonic won't like them either. He had to find a different way to find a bride for his brother.
Oh dear! what will Shadow do now?
