Shadow groaned out of plain boredom.

"Are we there yet?" Maria asked wearily.

"No..." Shadow said in almost the same tone.

Maria was about to say something, when there was aloud bang coming from the back of the RV.

"What the hell was that?" Rouge asked.

Shadow arched an eyebrow. "I have no idea. But we'd better get out just to be safe..." he said as he and the rest of the family got out of the RV.


Once they were out Shadow looked underneath the RV. Nothing.

"Strange..." Shadow mumbled. He then turned to Rouge and Maria. "HEY ROUGE!" Shadow called.

"YEAH?!" Rouge called back.

"DO YOU HAVE YOUR CELL PHONE?!" Shadow yelled.

"YEAH IT'S RIGHT HERE!" Rouge yelled.

Maria looked at her parents, very confused. "Why are you yelling when you're only three feet away from each other?" she asked.

Shadow and Rouge paused.

"Becaaaase...it makes everything seem more...dramatic..." Shadow said.

Maria rolled her eyes. "I bet it does..." she mumbled.

Shadow then took Rouge's cell phone and dialed a number. No signal.

"There's no signal, let's try walking a little further." Shadow said.

Rouge and Maria nodded in agreement.

They walked for a few minutes until Shadow finally got a signal. But suddenly, there was a loud BOOM.

Shadow, Maria, and Rouge all turned around very slowly.

Shadow slapped the cell phone shut.

"That...did not...just...happen..." Shadow said slowly.

"Yeah...it did..." Maria responded slowly.

"Hmm, can I have a cookie?" Dash asked who appeared out of nowhere.

"NO!" Shadow boomed.

"Where did you come from anyways?" Rouge asked.

Dash looked around nervously and began to sweating bullets. "Bye, bye!" he said as he sprinted into the distance.

Shadow then drew his attention back to the RV.

"I can't believe it...blew up..." Maria said.

Maria then thought that she saw a rabbit that looked a lot like Cream sprint away from the explosion, laughing manically.

"ALL MY STUFF WAS IN THERE!" Rouge roared.

"Calm down, Rouge." Shadow said.

"BUT MY STUFF WAS IN THERE!" She yelled as she looked at Shadow.

"Well so was my stuff." Shadow said.

"FORGET ABOUT OUR STUFF! HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET OUT OF HERE!?" Maria yelled.

Rouge, probably forgetting about her stuff smiled and pulled some sort of button out of her pocket.

"HA HA! THAT'S WHERE MY PRIVATE JET COMES IN HANDY!" Rouge said, smirking, her left eye twitching.

"Uh..." Maria said as she took a few steps away from her, now insane, mother.

Shadow arched an eyebrow and crossed his arms. "Pfft, since when have you had a privet jet? And why didn't you tell me about it?" he asked.

Rouge looked around nervously.

Shadow placed a hand on Rouge's back. "Honey, I think all the smoke and the fact that your stuff is gone is getting to your head..." he said.

"NO! I have a private jet and I'll prove it too." Rouge said as she pressed the large red button.

After a few minutes Shadow sighed and held Rouge closer to him. "I think maybe you should go see a doctor..." he said.

Maria suddenly pointed to the sky. "Hey! Look!" she said.

Shadow and Rouge both looked up to the sky and saw a large, purple jet coming right their way.

"OKAY LET'S GO!" Rouge said.

"But it's still in mid air..." Shadow said.

"Yeah so? I'm a bat and so is Maria, we can fly!" Rouge said.

"Yeah but I can't." Shadow said.

Rouge looked around. "Hey Maria, carry your father up there will ya? Thanks sweetie!" Rouge said happily as she took off.

"WHAT?! HEY NO FAIR!" Maria yelled before turning to Shadow.

Shadow shrugged. "You can't just leave me here..." he said.

"Well I could if I really wanted to..." Maria said with a smirk.

Shadow glared at her.


A few minutes later

Rouge was seated on a sofa filing her nails when Maria, who was panting heavily and sweating, managed to crawl in with Shadow gripping onto her feet.

"Hey guys!" Rouge said with a cheery smile.

"I...am...never...doing...that...again..." Maria panted.

(Lol, don't ask how they got into the jet by flying and then crawling through the window, cause I know it's impossiable)

"Oh suck it up, I had to carry him and a four hundred pound robot." Rouge said.

Maria looked up at her and arched an eyebrow. "You must have the strength of a friggen God!" she said.

"Rouge smiled proudly. "Thank you." she said.

"That...wasn't a compliment. I was just saying--" But Maria was cut off by Shadow.

"So you do have a private jet, huh?" he said with a smirk.

"Yup." Rouge said.

"I still don't know why you never told me about this." he said as he looked around.

Suddenly, a rabbit that looked just like Cream, walked up to them. She had her ears pulled back into a ponytail and was wearing a...bloody blue and white outfit with a golden name tag on with the name, Josie, written across it in black bold print.

Shadow arched an eyebrow. "Uh...Cream?" he asked.

Cream just gave Shadow a creepy smile. "Cream? Who's Cream? I am Josie, your flight attendant for the day." Cream said.

"I bet you are..." Shadow said.

"Would you like something to drink, like blood...I MEAN WATER! YES WATER BECAUSE AQUAFINA IS GOOD FOR YOU EVEN THOUGH IT'S REALLY JUST TAP WATER!" Cream said loudly.

Shadow arched an eyebrow. "No...we're--" But Cream cut him off.

"OKAY, I'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH YOUR DIRTY TAP WATER!" Cream yelled as she ran to where the piolet was.

Shadow turned around to find Rouge and Maria staring at him, utterly confused.

"Dad, who was that?" Maria asked nervously.

"Ya know what Maria, sweetie, just pretend you never saw that okay?" Rouge said in a shaky tone.

"Um...alright..." Maria said.

Shadow was about to sit down until he heard a blood hurtling scream come from the piolets room.

Maria and Rouge screamed as Rouge grabbed onto her only child. Shadow stood in front of his family protectively.

Suddenly, Cream stepped out from behind the curtain with a bloody knife in hand.

"The deed has been done..." Cream said flatly.

"C-cream?" Shadow asked.

"Ya know what?" Cream said as she stepped closer to Shadow and his family. "I'm hungry Shadow..." she said.

"Uh...then...go...eat..." Shadow said slowly.

"Oh I will. But, you know what? I'M HUNGRY FOR BAT LIVERS!" Cream roared.

Rouge and Maria gripped tightly onto each other.

Cream then smiled, but it soon fadded into a glare as she turned into liquid and ran through the cracks of the jet, escaping. (lol, idk)

"Are you okay?" Shadow asked.

"Yeah we're fine...But we wont be in a minute! THE JET'S GOING DOWN!" Maria yelled.

Rouge held Maria closer to her. "SHADOW, DO SOMETHING!!!" she yelled.

"Uh..." Shadow said stupidly as he looked around.

"USE CHAOS CONTROL!" Maria yelled.

Shadow blinked. "Oh yeah, right." he said as he pulled out a green emerald.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow yelled as the three of them were teleported out of the jet.


Shadow looked around. They were pretty much in the middle of nowhere. It was sand, sand, and more sand.

"SHADOW!" Rouge screamed.

Shadow quickly turned around. "What?"

"MARIA'S GONE!" Rouge yelled.

Once Shadow looked, surely enough, Maria was missing.

His eyes widened.

"W-what if she's still on the jet?" Rouge asked as she embraced Shadow, trying to hold back tears.

Shadow looked to the sky and saw the jet crashing to the ground in the distance.

"MARIAAAAAAAA!" Shadow and Rouge cried in unison.

Rouge then buried her face into Shadow chest and began to sob. Shadow held Rouge close to him.

"This...this can't be happening...not to us...I already lost the first Maria...now, not my only daughter..." Shadow said slowly.

Rouge suddenly looked up at Shadow.

"WAIT! Wh-what if she wasn't on the jet. Oh no, what if she's somewhere alone and cold like Alaska!" Rouge said through sobs.

Shadow sighed and pressed his forehead up against Rouge's. "You might be right." he said with a frown, also trying to hold back tears.

"Or..or what if she's someplace worse..LIKE IRAQ! Or--" Rouge gasped. "Even worse, WITH SONIC!" she said as she began crying again.

Shadow hushed her and rubbed her back, thinking of all of the horrible situations that Maria could be stuck in the middle of at this very moment, and the fact that...he may never see his daughter again.

"Where are you Maria?" Shadow asked.

Shadow's ears perked up when he heard laughter from behind him. "Right here, Dad!" Said a familiar voice, happily.

Shadow and Rouge quickly turned around to see their daughter smiling up at them.

"Hi!" She said happily as she waved at both of them.

"MARIA!" Rouge yelled as she flung her arms around her perfectly fine, daughter.

"OH MY GOD WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU! WE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!" Rouge cried as she continuously kissed her daughter's face.

"Ah! Mom, get offa me I'm fine, really!" Maria said through laughter.

Once Rouge stopped, Shadow scooped Maria up into his arms.

"We thought something awful happened to you." he said softly.

Maria smirked. "Oh I know. I guess the chaos control took a few extra seconds to work on me. I came in about half through your conversation and caught it all on my camera phone." she said as she pulled out a cell phone. "I'm putting this one on YouTube!" she said with a low chuckle.

Shadow sighed. "We're just glad your alright." he said as he kissed her forehead lightly.

"Yeah I'm fine! Now stop spazzing and put me down!" Maria demanded.

Once Shadow placed her back on her feet, Maria looked around. "Now what? We're stuck in the middle of nowhere." she asked, turning to her parents.

Rouge was about to say something until she was interrupted.

"YEHAW! WE'RE TAKING THIS BABY ALL THE WAY TO IDAHO!" Yelled Sonic's voice from afar.

"DAD WE ALREADY PASSED IDAHO! AND WHY IDAHO?" Dash yelled back.

There was a pause. "YEAH WELL...YEHAW STILL!" Sonic yelled.

Suddenly, a nearly destroyed police car came into eyeshot.

"Oh god..." Shadow muttered.

Suddenly, Sonic jumped out of the car. "WE'RE HERE!" he yelled.

Shadow arched an eyebrow. "Sonic?" he asked.

Sonic smiled. "Ya ready to party, Shadow?" he said as he walked up to Shadow.

Shadow blinked. "Don't tell me, the reunion is in the middle of this desert." he said.

"Well of course. Where were you expecting it to be? At a house?" Sonic asked.

"Well...yeah..." Shadow said.

Sonic gave Shadow a look as though he was some sort of idiot. "No, noone has reunions at houses..." he said.

Rouge arched an eyebrow. "What about everyone else? Aren't they coming?" she asked.

Sonic then pulled out a very, very, long list. "Lemme see, Knuckles said that he had the flu. Tails said he didn't want to risk his chances of getting raped by a certain blue hero and his son. Eggman had a pole dancing class to go to. Jet, Wave and Storm all committed suicide right after I called them. Omega blew up. Silver and Blaze wanted to know how they were even supposed to get here seeing they're" Sonic then made his fingers into quotations "two hundred years in the future" Sonic put his hands down. "I don't buy that bull shit. And the Chaotix's car mysteriously disappeared." he said.

Shadow's temper was rising. They were in the middle of a desert...with Sonic and his family. That couldn't be good.

"So you mean to say that, WE'RE THE ONLY ONES HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A DESERT?!" Shadow roared.

Sonic scoffed. "No, you've got Maria, Rouge, Amy, Dash, and me." Sonic said. He then hiked his thumb backwards. "And that police officer." he said as his thumb pointed to a half-dead police officer.

Rouge gasped. "Sonic, did you do that to him?" she asked.

"No, he did that to himself while Amy, Dash and I were singing the wheels on the bus go round and round.

"So this is everyone?" Maria asked.

"No! Ibilis can come!" Sonic said proudly.

"SONIC YOU IDIOT!" Shadow and Rouge roared.

"YOU'RE PUTTING OUR FAMILIES IN DANGER!" Shadow yelled as he pulled out a chaos emerald and pulled Rouge and Maria close to him. "CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow cried, warping them back home.

Seconds later, a large beast covered in flames came out from underground.

"Yo Ibby! What up?" Sonic called.

Ibilis looked around. "Where is everyone?" he asked in low, rumbling voice.

Sonic sighed. "They couldn't come." he said.

Ibilis frowned. "So you mean I made all of these cookies for nothing?" he asked as he pulled out a tray of cookies.

"COOKIES!" Dash cried in a high pitched voice.

"Yeah, I replaced all of my anger with a new hobby, cooking! Or at least that's what they told me to do in my anger management and sex addicts classes." Ibilis said.

"Good for you!" Amy said happily. "I used to go to those all the time!"


Flashback

"Amy it's--" The anger management instructor said, before Amy cut him off.

"NO I DON'T WANT TO! I'M JUST ANGRY WITH EVERYTHING BECAUSE I CAN'T HAVE MY SONIC! GWAAAAA!" Amy screamed as she pulled out a knife.


"Good times...good times..." Amy said recalling her memory.

Sonic scoffed. "Ya know what? Let's get this party started with out them!" he said.

"YEAH!" Everyone cheered in unison.


Shadow and his family teleported back into their living room.

Maria sighed. "Man, it's good to be home." she said

Shadow and Rouge nodded in agreement.

"I'm taking a nice, long, bath..." Rouge said as she headed upstairs.

"I'm gunna watch TV in my room. Dad, call me when dinner's ready." Maria said as she followed Rouge upstairs.

Shadow sighed and smirked. That was a trip to remember, but it was certainly good to be home again.
