A trip for the worst

"YOU'RE GONNA WHAT!" Sonic shouted at Shadow who was leaning against the doorframe of his room giving a look of complete and utter disinterest.

"I am going to get you out for a while, you need fresh air." Shadow stated calmly as he unfolded Sonics wheel chair and pushed it towards Sonic still sitting in his bed. It had been three days since Sonic had told his past and he refused to leave the house.

"Just open the windows." Sonic said desperately as he glared at his wheelchair. "Besides I need to eat breakfast first."

"That's what we are going out for." Shadow sighed as he crossed his arms impatiently; he had quite a short fuse today.

"Can't I eat here?" Sonic asked stubbornly, knowing deep down it did not matter since Shadow had complete control of where he went when he was in the wheelchair.

"Why are you being so down right stubborn Faker?" Shadow growled as he left the doorframe and came towards him, Sonic looking somewhat petrified.

"Because no one can see me like this. The public will laugh at me!" Sonic continued to argue as he crossed his arms in rebellion. "I don't want to be humiliated!"

Shadow rolled his eyes before grabbing Sonic and forcing him into his wheelchair, Sonic struggled with his arms relentlessly as Shadow managed to get him seated. Shadow was trying to be patient but was finding it incredibly difficult with all the stress he was going through this morning.

"Alright, what will make you more inclined to go Faker?" Shadow asked with a little more force behind his words than he intended. Sonic was silent for a moment before answering.

"If people could not see who I was." He said plainly as Shadow stood still for second as he tried to think of something.

"Well, that is going to be very difficult. How many blue hedgehogs with green eyes, skin coloured arms, six long curved down spikes and red shoes do you know?" Shadow rolled his eyes at Sonics idea thinking it was impossible.

"Not if I covered my entire body with clothing." Sonic gave his signature cocky smile.

"Just go into my wardrobe over there and throw every bit of clothing you see onto the bed. I will pick." Sonic instructed.

Shadow was not in the mood to continue arguing so just did as he was told and opened the wooden wardrobe. After chucking everything onto the bed, including hats, scarves, T-shirts, trousers, jeans and jackets he sat himself down onto the bed and waited.

Since it was summer Sonic put a red cap on, however he did it in an unusual way. Sonic held his spikes so that they were folded on top of each other above his head before placing the cap down, the cap held his spikes underneath successfully hiding them from prying eyes. He then put a jacket on, deciding against putting a T-shirt on. Doing the zip up caused the jacket to hide his body.

"Can you...help?" Sonic asked feeling a little embarrassed. Shadow turned around and saw that nothing was on Sonics bottom half since he was having trouble putting his jeans on, being disabled was a lot harder than it looked. Shadow tried to hold it back but it was no use, his cheeks flushed bright red as he suddenly turned away and tried to compose himself. Reluctantly he stood up and headed towards Sonic with still a little bit of pink tingeing his cheeks. Sonic fortunately did not notice. Shadow helped pull the pair of blue jeans up; he stopped as he looked at Sonics feet.

"What shoes will you wear? As I said before you can't wear your normal attire."

Sonic seemed to ignore him as he threw a pair of black sneakers at him, Shadows quick reflexes helped him to catch them with out a lot of effort. Shadow gave an irritated sigh as he kneeled on one knee to put them on Sonics feet and tied the laces.

"That's too loose." Sonic said with a smug smirk as he crossed his arms. Shadow felt his blood boil as he undid them and pulled.

"Oww! That's too tight man!" Sonic squirmed as he felt the blood stop going to his foot, the smirk quickly disappearing from his face. Shadow gave a small evil laugh at Sonics struggling before releasing the tightly pulled laces.

"Hey that was not cool! Just because I can't feel my legs well enough to use em does not mean they don't get any blood!" Sonic huffed as he looked away from Shadow and considering what he was wearing he looked like a right idiot. "Get me my shades."

Shadow held in a laugh at just how ridiculous the blue hero looked as he got up from his kneeling position on the floor to head over to a small metal desk and grab the green pair of shades. He twisted them in his hands as he walked back over and handed them to Sonic before starting to push the wheelchair out of the bedroom door.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Sonic asked quietly, nervousness evident in his voice as Shadow carried the wheelchair with him in it down the stairs with incredible ease. Shadow just ignored him.

As they reached the bottom Shadow carefully put the wheelchair on the floor before opening the front door. Shadow could feel fear and nervousness reeking from Sonic as he led him outside and could even feel him stiffen up as he became rigid with every passer by that stared at him. People were whispering behind their backs and Shadow could hear their every word as they started to feel suspicious and odd about the strange guy in the wheelchair.

"Speed up." Sonic whispered, almost inaudible to even Shadow as he picked up the pace and turned right into the next street. Sonic kept clenching his fists on the arm rests as he started to feel very uneasy. What if they found out?

Everyone was bustling about doing their jobs and daily chores, bakers ran around in the bakeries cooking fine bread and cakes, the florists worker was running about putting fresh stacks of flowers outside the store and in general the whole street was filled with people. The sound of calling male builders could be heard as they did an extension on the book store and the smell of the bakery was very enticing to Sonic who seemed to cheer up a little at the smell of food. Shadow acknowledged this as he turned into everyone's favourite and most common fast-food restaurant in Soleanna, McDonalds.

Sonic suddenly tensed in his seat again as Shadow pushed him towards the only free table there, every other seat and table had already been taken and the whole place was filled with gossiping people and laughing children as they waited for their meals. Sonic did not like this, not one bit.

He suddenly felt Shadows presence disappear behind him and felt a strike of Panic as he heard Shadow move away to the counter to order. It felt like everyone was watching him; everyone was staring at him waiting to see who he was. Everyone was looking at him with curious gazes, everyone was watching...waiting.

Sonic could feel his palms start to sweat and a single bead of sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Stop stressing." Shadow said calmly as he patted Sonics hat covered head making him jump ten feet in the air. Little did they know that a young woman was sitting at the back with a notepad in hand and wearing red spectacles. Her tail swishing as she waited for her male partner to meet her there.

"I got you just the single muffin, if you are still hungry I will get something else afterwards." Shadow said as he sat down on the seat opposite Sonics wheelchair and crossed his arms as he gave a sigh. Shadow felt everything coming from Sonic as he left, the feeling of pure panic wracking his body at the feeling of being left there alone as his fear built up. He was starting to think that Sonic being disabled had mentally affected him as well as physically and emotionally.

You need to cheer him up; he needs something good to happen to him. Say you love him, Shadow almost in real life smacked his head as the thoughts came back like they did three days ago. No! I won't say it here, not in front of all these humans, Shadow mentally argued with himself as his mind started to have a full blown argument. But saying it here in front of everyone would show that you really do care, Shadows thoughts contradicted him again as in the real world Shadow tried to suppress a growl, Say you love him!

Sonic blinked at Shadow as he saw that strange look he had had three days ago when he had tried to tell him something, I swear he was going to say...no, he does not like me that way does he? Sonics thoughts ran wild as he tried to come up with a solution for Shadows strange behaviour. Maybe I should tell him I love him too, Sonic mentally asked himself as a small blush plastered his face in real life. I mean it is true, I do like him more than a friend...but if he was not trying to say I love you, I would make a fool of myself and I don't think I could take the rejection, Sonic thought bitterly as he bowed his head to stop Shadow from seeing his growing blush. Little did he know that Shadow was having the same internal turmoil about the other as he was.

All I have to say is...Sonic thought as nerves bit at him again for another reason.

All I have to say is...Shadow was also thinking.

I love you, both thought at the same time. A single shiver fell down both of their spines as their thoughts fell on the same wavelength, if only they knew that the opposite was having the same trouble.

"Sonic...I lo-"

"Hey you shouldn't wear hats indoors!" a little snot nosed brat interrupted rudely as she thrust her hand up and managed to grab Sonics hat.

Everything seemed to move in slow motion as the hat was pulled away. His sunglasses fell onto the table as the hat was torn away. A single gasp escaped Sonics lips. His spikes were released. The girl stopped and dropped the hat with a shocked gasp.

"Y-you're..." The girl started to tremble; the whole ruckus had brought the attention of the young woman with red spectacles in the corner. Suddenly everyone in the room stood up and hurried towards Sonic. Sonic looking completely petrified as they surrounded him. Suddenly every single person in room started falling into fits of laughter.

"Oh my God. Sonic the hedgehog, the fastest thing on Earth...IN A WHEELCHAIR." A woman broke apart as she went hysterical with everyone else following suit.

"What's he going to do, run Eggman over?" A man added as he too couldn't stop laughing.

Everyone spilt their drinks as they laughed at what was their hero. Sonic felt something twist deep in his stomach as he bowed his head.

"Sonic?" Shadow asked gently as he put his hand out to comfort him. But he stopped when he saw several unstopping tears fall from Sonics hidden eyes. Sonics body began to shake as he tried to hide his tears form the public. The reporter stood up at hearing the unbelievable comments and wrote them down furiously as she tried to barge through the crowd.

"YOU PATHETIC UNCARING SCUM!"

Everyone stopped laughing immediately and froze as Shadow shouted at them, giving them his most deadly and most hate filled glare he could muster. His hand slammed down onto the table with horrible force as his rage could not be contained by just words alone.

"You pathetic fools! You think this is funny?" Shadows eyes blazed with flames of fury as he pointed at the trembling crowd.

"This is your hero, the hero you so awfully treat! Do you not realise what he has been through? Do you not realise how much his condition is affecting him without you contributing to it!" Shadow seemed to overload as the anger became too much making his fists clench and tremble at his sides.

"This is the same guy that has saved you on numerous occasions! And even though he is now lacking what he had,..." Shadow said this as he turned around to look into Sonics wet eyes that were now staring at him. "...he is still the same person we all should respect deep down."

Sonic thought he had stopped breathing, the gentleness coming from Shadows ruby eyes as he said that directly to him made him feel ecstatic. A strange fizzing sensation bloomed in his chest; he had never felt this warm sensation for anyone else apart from Shadow.

The reporter was scribbling madly on her notepad almost breaking her pen from being so vigorous, her long tail swayed wildly from excitement from catching such good stuff. She was unable to get through the thick crowd hanging around her subject and she couldn't look over them since she was not as tall as a human, but she could use her amazing hearing skills to get the news. Her ears twitched at everything Shadow said and she was just about to put `he is still the same person we all should respect deep down` when suddenly everyone started cheering at Shadows words and one man stepped backwards knocking the reporter forward. The hard knock made her practically throw her notepad.

"NO!" She screamed in horror as her juicy statements fell onto a glass of orange juice causing it to spill, it soaked right through her note pad and the ink ran into the juice giving it a purplish tinge. She had lost the evidence.

"Chaos control!"

The reporter turned round quickly to see a bright flash over the crowd, Shadow had teleported them away. She stamped her foot in fury as the crowd dispersed back to their seats or just left the restaurant. She was left standing there red faced as the room became silent.

Someone suddenly came through the door holding a piece of chocolate cake; he froze at seeing his companion in distress. The piece of cake dropped from his hand as she glared at him with a look that could kill.

"...What did I miss?"
