THANKSGIVING BONUS.
Yes I know, this is wayyyyyyyyy overdue and that Thanksgiving has passed. I have wanted to update but I am busy with other chapters. I wanted to make everything twice as long, and then update "Upside-Down and Backwards" so sue me. Unfortunately I got the dreaded Writers Block and I could only make this one a normal chapter. At least I have been trying, and that's hard when you are banned from the computer for, like, two fricking weeks!
Sonic: I rather you didn't try.
Shadow: Why bother anyway? It is just more work, and being the procrastinator you are I don't believe that is the best choice.
… Shadow you have the count of three until I drop kick you into next MONTH.
Sonic: That would be cool.
Shadow: Yeah right.
ONE…
Shadow: You don't have the guts.
TWO…
Shadow: *yawn*
THREE… *drop kicked into next month*
Shadow: Ahhhhhhhh!
Sonic: Awesome!
Now here is the long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, LONG awaited chapter 8.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters or anything from SEGA
Chapter 8: Sweet Sibs
"Shadow I just remembered, we haven't eaten dinner yet. Do you want me to order takeout or pizza?"
"Pizza's fine. Just hurry, this day has been tiring enough already."
The two hedgehogs had just returned on their little trip to the mall for the 'oil sack'. They needed more supplies and BOY was that a DISASTER! Luckily they managed to make it out of the hell hole called a mall with what they needed.
The delivery man came with the hot pizza in 30 minutes and they paid for it. The two sat at the table to eat.
Sonic suddenly spoke. "Hey, where do I sleep tonight?"
"You can take the bed, I'll take the couch."
Sonic raised an eyebrow at that (do they even have eyebrows?). "You sure? I could take the couch if you want."
"It's fine. Most of the time I sleep on it anyways, since I find it easier to leave for missions from GUN there."
"Alright, but I don't like making uneven trades so how's this. I'll make whatever you want for breakfast tomorrow."
"Fine, then I'll have pancakes; it's been a while since I had anything like that."
"Sure."
The two tired hedgehogs once again changed the diapers of the baby, fed it, burped it, and then put it to sleep. Then the two went separate ways to their bed/couch and went to sleep for the night.
The next morning Sonic was up earlier than Shadow. The baby was crying again, and being the closer of the two, he had to take care of the problem. Seeing as how it was almost 7:00AM he decided to start that pancake breakfast Shadow wanted. He hoped he would like them.
Not too long later Shadow awoke to the smell of the pancakes cooking. He went to the kitchen to find Sonic cooking up breakfast. He was hungry but not only for the pancakes…
"Oh, Shadow you're up. Well most of the pancakes are ready so you can start eating. I'm almost done with mine."
Giving a quick nod shadow took the plate of pancakes and started to eat. He honestly never had anything better in his like. The pancakes were so soft and fluffy tasting and there was a creamy feeling to it. It also seemed like it melted in his mouth, but it was still quite solid. Something about Sonic's cooking was better than anything else. Thinking about it, Shadow assumed it was his newfound attraction to the blue hedgehog that caused him to feel this way.
Sonic finished cooking his food and came to sit across Shadow. He put syrup on it and began to eat. Soon both were finished with their meal and just relaxed in Shadow's home. About 5 minutes later Shadow got a call from GUN saying that they had a mission for him and that he had to meet Rouge in a few minutes. Shadow quickly told Sonic about his sudden mission with Rouge and left without letting Sonic find out anything. This left Sonic alone to take care of the baby.
The blue one just huffed and gave the baby food and once again it napped. Sonic saw the Chaotix through the window. Before the trio of Espio, Vector, and Charmy could leave the vicinity of the house he ran out the door to meet them. Why he rushed with his supersonic speed, the world may never know.
The Chaotix were dragged into Shadow's house and before they could ask what happened, Sonic told them to watch the baby and quickly wrote a list on what they needed to do to take care of it. Espio was the only one who had enough sense to put together what Sonic was forcing them into and made sure to listen before Sonic ran out with a quick 'Bye!' and left the threesome in Shadow's house.
Sonic was running through the streets now, looking to have some fun. It wasn't long before he decided to walk through the park. Hey, even the blue speedster needs a slow walk every now and then.
So there he was, just walking. Walking. Looking around. More walking. Then BAM!
Sonic fell over. Either he just got hit by a truck, or a maniac was running in the park. He had no right to mention the latter of the two options, but it wasn't going to keep him from thinking it.
"OWWW! Dude! Watch where you're going!" Sonic said this while having his eyes shut tight and head in one of his hands. That hit was stronger than one of Eggman's robots, though that wasn't saying much.
"Sorry bud," Said the stranger who is not in view yet. "I was not paying attention so I was ru-wait Sonic? Is that you?"
Sonic looked up. "NO WAY!" he said with a shocked face. "Manic, are you really in front of me?"
The figure, who was now identified as Manic stepped into view. "The one and only bro." Manic grinned.
Sonic shot up from the ground. "What's up bro? It has been what? 4 years since I last saw you and Sonia?"
"Yeah, after we split up Sonia went to manage the aristocrats and now is living the rich life. Growing up on the streets, I couldn't handle that. You just up and left us though. What's the deal with that?"
Sonic Shrugged. "Sorry 'bout that. I went after Robotnic, or as he is known as Eggman. Someone had to keep an eye on him."
"Well it's cool now. Just next time, leave a note or something!"
Sonic laughed. "Sure bro. Hey since you are in town, want a tour?"
"Dude, you know who I was in the past. I am pretty sure you know what I came here to do."
"Let me guess, steal?"
"Not exactly. More like property recovery. An agency called GIRS has liberated some relics from our past and I need to get them back."
Sonic had a puzzled look on his face. GIRS? Who were they? Taking a quick glance at his sibling's face Manic quickly responded. "GIRS stands for Global Information and Research Society. They are the other side to GUN. While GUN does the big jobs someone has to cover. The information they receive, the knowledge they have, the weapons they use, the damages seemingly disappearing are only a few of what GIRS actually does. I just came to take back what is OURS."
With a nod of his head Sonic said just two simple words. "I'm in."
SSSSSSSSSS
Shadow was at the forest where he had to meet Rouge. They were supposed to have met FIFTEEN MINUTES AGO. Shadow was seriously pissed. Whatever mission he had to do better have either been an important or an interesting one or he was going to be out for blood. Rouge should also have a good reason for being late.
Five minutes later~
"OK THAT'S IT! SHE IS WAY BEYOND LATE AND IF SHE DOSENT GET HERE IN THE NEXT 5 SECONDS I WILL-"
"You'll WHAT Shadow?"
That seducing voice used so casually could only belong to one bat. Rouge.
"Humph, you should be lucky that you don't have to find out."
Rouge rolled her eyes. She held out a piece of paper. Shadow too the piece of paper she held out and read it. It was a long detailed report that would probably take a human an hour to read. For the mobians it was five minutes. The two were trained for quick pick up missions in between fire and had to read the papers fast before being caught.
Once he finished reading he spoke. "So to summarize GUN is power while GIRS is knowledge and they work hand in hand. Recently GIRS discovered several artifacts that could be very powerful and so GUN wants us to get it without being traced back. Still leaves one big question open. What were you doing for the past TWENTY minutes?"
"I was researching GIRS. It was hard but I got one lead on them. There is less information on them than there is on GUN, and that's saying something. I was lucky to get a lead at all."
A bad feeling arose in Shadow's stomach. "And where exactly is this lead."
Rouge smirked. "Twinkle Park."
So I know I could have made this longer and I know there is meant to be humor but I am as funny as a lint ball. I need reviews here. People. I have been grounded from my computer, received writers block and I need HELP on this DAMN story! Give me humor ideas or humor just might fall of the list and this story could change completely by accident. BTW there is a reason for the artifact part and it will be revealed in chapter 9.
MidnightStar64 OUT!
