A cop car pulled up on the street a few feet away from where Sonic and Shadow were fighting. Two officers got out of the car and walked over to the three.

"What's going on here?" The first officer, a red boar asked.

Amy stopped crying and turned to him. "I'm sorry officer."

Both male hedgehogs hadn't noticed the officers yet and were trying to get at each other's throats. The other officer, a green iguana managed to break apart the fight before anyone got seriously hurt.

"Hey you two! What is this all about?!" He shouted at the two.

Shadow spit Sonic's blood out of his mouth and growled. Sonic was the only one to say anything.

"Officer I didn't start the fight, I swear. It was all him!" He pointed at Shadow.

"Oh no! He was the one accusing me of mistreating her!" Shadow shouted, blood still coating his mouth.

"You bit me!" Sonic replied while cupping his still-bleeding arm. "I might have rabies or something now!"

"I don't have rabies!"

The officers looked at the two and sighed. "Both of you, come with us. Get in the car." The officers pulled both hedgehogs up off the ground and walked them to the car, not before handcuffing and putting a muzzle on Shadow, they decided that he was the more dangerous one of the two. Shadow fought back but one of the officers stuck him with tranquillizer to calm him down. Once they were all in the car the officers apologized to Amy.

"We're sorry, but we have to take them back to the station, and we're sorry that you have to stay here but you can come meet us there. Do you know where it is?"

Amy nodded.

"Ok, see you there." The boar rolled up the window and drove off.

The pink hedgehog stood there and thought to herself before making her way to the police station.


Inside the car, Sonic and Shadow sat slouched in the back seats. Shadow was fully knocked out while Sonic looked out the window. This was the second time he had been arrested. What was funny was that the other time he was arrested, it was because of Shadow. It's funny how history repeats itself huh?

When they arrived at the station the officers walked them both inside to the front desk. After some paperwork, they went back to an interrogation room and sat both at the table.

"Get this stupid muzzle off of me!" Shadow growled.

"Not until we feel that we can trust you." The iguana told him. "Now, we want to know what happened back there."

"Nothing happened. Just a scuffle." Sonic answered. "We get into fights like this ALL the time. There was no need to arrest us."

"Yeah…Because of you…" Shadow mumbled.

Sonic shot him a look and put his hand on his hip. "No, I believe that YOU are the one that starts most of our fights."

The police officers looked at each other. These two were obviously just some punk kids who got on each other's nerves.

Shadow got up and walked around the table. "I'll tell you what really happened. Sonic over there thought that I was doing something bad to Amy, that girl you saw crying. She's my girlfriend. He wouldn't let up. And the final straw was when he called me emo."

The officers stared at him and sighed. This was a waste of their time.

"Boys, we'll get you cleaned up and on your way." The boar told them and lead them out of the room. Sonic and Shadow both got their wounds treated and the handcuffs and muzzle were taken off of the black and red hedgehog. When Amy got to the station the two were in the lobby beside the officers.

"Sonic, Shadow are you okay?!" She ran towards them and tried to give them a hug but the officers didn't allow it.

"Are you Amy?" They asked.

Amy nodded. "Yes I am officers."

"You keep an eye on them for us, okay?"

"I will."

Amy took Sonic and Shadow's hands and walked them out of the police station like a mom. When they were far away she dropped their hands and put her hands on her hips. Both males knew what was coming and lowered their ears.

"What were you two thinking?! You almost got arrested today!" Amy shouted at them.

Neither replied with anything.

"How immature can you be! I was so afraid you might have gotten thrown in jail!"

Sonic looked up slowly. "He started it…"

Shadow looked up too. "You were the one who was spying on us in the first place…"

Amy looked at Shadow. "Shadow, I thought you were better than this."

"I'm sorry. I have anger issues…"

The pink hedgehog had enough. "Shadow—I just—I'm going to go home. I need to be by myself for a while. Don't kill each other while I'm gone." She turned around and started to walk away. Sonic and Shadow both started to go after her but they figured it wasn't a good idea right then. They watched her walk away with her head hung.

"I'm an idiot…" Sonic finally said after a few minutes.

"Yeah, you are…" Shadow replied.

Sonic looked at him with a sour expression. "You know what? You need to learn to control your temper. Later…You should go comfort her. It's what a good boyfriend would do…"

"You should trust me with her. You need to know that I won't hurt her…I love her…I wouldn't hurt anyone that I love." Shadow replied.

Sonic turned around to face him. "I know, I'm just afraid that you will unintentionally."

"I'm afraid sometimes I will too…"

"If you be careful, you won't, but I guess we both hurt her today."

"I guess we did."

"I'll make sure that I apologize to her tomorrow, it's getting dark out."

Shadow sighed. "I will too."

"Also, you should tell her."

"Tell her what?" Shadow asked.

"Tell her that you love her, she'll like that." Sonic started to run back home before the sun set, leaving Shadow alone.

Shadow looked at the sunset. "Okay, I'll tell her."
