Author's Notes: I've recovered from my insomnia! And sorry if this chapter seems short...It's really just a filler in my opinion. And I apologize about the crappy ending...again :(

Suspicion

Fake mouse: 15 Rings.

Video camera: 136 Rings.

Fishing line: 20 Rings.

Seeing Sonic flip out: Priceless.

Shadow and Silver were doubling over with laughter after the duo decided to play a prank on Sonic using one of Domino's toy mice. Shadow was not to kind of person to pass up a chance to get back at his long time rival, so they set up a little trap by using some leftover fishing line from the linen closet. The trap was set up in the kitchen, Sonic's favorite place to go whenever he's bored. Shadow made a triangular shape on the floor using the fishing line, making sure that Sonic's foot would trigger the fake mouse from popping out of its hiding spot. Silver had gotten a video camera to replace his scooter, and he decided to record the event and put it on Youtube later. They only had to wait a handful of minutes before Sonic went into the kitchen for a snack. And sure enough, he triggered the trap, making the mouse slide across the floor where it would be noticed. When Sonic saw the mouse, he literally screamed and jumped up on the nearest chair.

"OH MY GOD THERE'S A FUCKING MOUSE IN HERE DOMINO KILL IT EW EW EWWWWWWW!" was the only thing you could hear from the blue blur besides the laughing. Where was Domino at this time? Well, she was more interested in watching her wild relatives on Animal Planet.

Eventually, Sonic caught on to what was going on once he saw Shadow and Silver laughing at him. With his face as red as his shoes, he called them all the names under the sun before he stormed off into his room and slammed the door. When he left, Shadow and Silver finally calmed down and collected themselves as they stood up.

"Did you get it?" Shadow asked, gasping from all the laughing.

"Yup," Silver replied, "I got everything!"

"Good. We'll upload it right away. Send it to everyone we know, got it?"

"Yes sir!" Shadow smiled, feeling satisfied about how well their prank went. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Shadow decided that now was a good time for a shower. He stretched before he began to walk towards the bathroom...but stopped when he reached the backdoor. He noticed something out of the corner of his eye, and looked out into the backyard only to see that Scourge was standing at the back gate...with Amy.

Frowning a bit, the ebony hedgehog eased closer to the door, hiding his body so that they wouldn't see him. Shadow watched Scourge and Amy for a bit; he noticed that Amy was holding a large stuffed blue teddy bear and was carrying a beach bag, while Scourge was wearing nothing but his swim trunks and a t-shirt. Nothing really happened; the two of them just talked, even though Shadow couldn't hear them. Shadow was about to leave when he suddenly saw Scourge place his right hand on Amy's cheek very delicately. The gesture intrigued Shadow more, that is, until he saw the green one lean in and kiss Amy's other cheek. And Amy allowed him to do it; in fact, it looked like she wanted him to kiss her!

Shadow's eyes widened before he rushed over to Silver, who was sitting at the computer uploading the video.

"Oh, hey Shad," Silver said cheerfully when he noticed the ebony one had came over to him, "I'm almost done uploading the vid. We gotta wait a few more minutes before..."

"Scourge and Amy are together," Shadow babbled. Silver paused, staring blankly at his dark counterpart before he let out a hearty chuckle. "What's so funny? This is serious!"

"How is this serious?" Silver asked, smiling, "There's no way Scourge and Amy are together."

"But I saw them both near the back gate," Shadow pressed, "and they were talking.

"So if two people are talking, that automatically means that they're together?"

"No! I saw Scourge kiss her afterwards!" Silver's eyes widened slightly.

"Whoa, really?" he asked.

"Yes!"

"Wait, did Amy like, push him back?"

"No. It looked like she wanted him too..."

"Well, did he kiss her on her lips or...?"

"It was on her cheek." Silver rubbed his chin thoughtfully while Shadow stood there, looking nervous for the first time of his life.

"You don't think it's nothing serious, do you?" Silver asked after a full minute of silence.

"I hope not," Shadow sighed before crossing his arms, "because if it was, than that could mean trouble, especially when Scourge gets his memories back."

"Should we tell Sonic?" Shadow shook his head.

"No point," Shadow said, "I can tell that he's going to be giving us the silent treatment after today. And even if he does hear us out, he probably won't even believe us. I say we keep our mouths shut and keep a close eye on Scourge to see what happens. It it's nothing serious, then we'll keep it to ourselves. If it does become serious, then we have no choice but to tell him, whether he's still mad at us or not." Silver nodded.

"We shouldn't ask Scourge about it either," he said, turning back to the computer screen.

"Why's that?" Shadow asked with the ridge of his eye arched.

"'Cause we don't want him to know that we saw him...yet," Silver replied simply, "If he's on to us, then he might try his best to keep that a secret, if he and Amy are together. Besides, we're not even sure about what's going on. That kiss could have been just a friendly gesture. Y'know, like how a gentlemen kisses a girl's hand? Stuff like that."

Shadow sighed again. "I hope that's all it is..."

At that same moment, the back door opened and Scourge walked into the house with a small bag slung over his shoulder. Domino was keen on her owner's return, and she hopped off of the couch and went straight towards him, pawing at his legs.

"Hey Scourge," Silver called, "Where were you all this time?"

"At the beach," Scourge replied, with Domino in his arms.

"Oh yeah?" Silver went on, "You went by yourself?"

"No. Amy went with me. She was kinda down earlier, so I took her there to cheer her up. I guess she was still mad at Sonic."

"I see. Well, where is she now?"

"She went home. She says she's supposed to be having a slumber party with Cream and her cousin."

"Cool. Anyway, Shadow and I played this hilarious prank on Sonic using Domino's toy mouse, and we recorded it! We're putting it on Youtube. Wanna see?"

"Yeah! Tell me when it uploads. I gotta take Domino upstairs."

"'Kay. I'll text ya." Scourge smiled before he walked out of the front door, with Domino on his shoulders again. Shadow watched him as he elft, but Silver seemed to be more interested in the video, since he was back at the computer again.

"So that's it, huh?" Shadow eventually asked.

"What do you mean?" Silver asked, turning towards the ebony one.

"You're gonna let him leave?" Silver rolled his eyes.

"Look, I just asked him a few questions to make it seem casual, alright? If I kept going, he would've caught on. And he wasn't lying. Amy was mad at earlier and I saw her and Scourge talk near the pool."

"Wait, you saw them with each other near the pool?" Shadow exclaimed, "How come you didn't tell me?"

"Because it was nothing serious," Silver replied while typing on the keyboard, "And I saw them leave with each other. I just figured that they were hanging out like regular friends would. They didn't seem like they were dating or anything. You're probably overreacting about it." Shadow opened his mouth to say something, but held his tongue. Maybe he was overreacting. Maybe the kiss was just a friendly gesture. Maybe Scourge and Amy are friends now. Everything's been so confusing lately...Scourge losing his memory, his new personality, and Shadow older brother instincts kicking in. He wasn't really sure what to do. He wanted to ask Scourge about it to at least get his word that it wasn't serious, but what if it was? Well, no sense of worrying about it right now...Better see how that video came out...
