Once again, I do not own Sonic or his friends.

Her head pounded. Everything hurt. But she was finally swimming towards consciousness. She felt a warm light at her eyes. Then, a faint snoring came to her ears. She opened her eyes and breathed in the crisp scent of her friends. Then, Sasha realized that there was a faint pressure on her stomach. She rose to a sitting position and felt the pressure topple to her legs. Shadow was on her, asleep, but his frown showed her that he was still worried. She carefully lifted his head, and moved her legs to the floor. Then she placed his head on the sofa and softly kissed his cheek, hoping that he wouldn't wake up. She silently opened the door and closed it behind her. She walked over to the bathroom, which was just a clump of bushes, and went. When she was done, she headed back to the house in the complete darkness.

When she was close to the house, she felt hands grab her. She started to struggle but stopped when a familiar voice said, "Don't worry, it's only me."

She spun around and realized in an instant that she had been pulled close to Shadow. Suddenly, he kissed her on the lips. Her eyes went wide in astonishment and she pulled away.

Sasha moved her arms away from his face and he let go. They never imagined just how much they loved one another and they had never wanted to kiss. It just happened.

"Shadow, we should go inside so that nothing else tries to grab one of us."

"I agree but first, I have to go to the bathroom. Will you wait here?"

"Whadda you think?"

"I'll be right back then, and if something takes you, I'll find it and kill it."

"Ohhh, I feel sooo safe! I can take care of myself."

"Okay, one minute."

A few seconds later, he returned and they walked back to the house. Mystikal was waiting, looking into the flames. Knuckles, probably asleep, had his head resting against her shoulder. When Sasha looked, Mystikal had her arm wrapped around his shoulders. Then they saw him stir, and watched as he sat up and watched the fire with her.

Just then, Mystikal looked around and stood up. She ran over to Sasha and they hugged each other, crying with silent joy. The three of them walked over to Sonic. Sasha picked him up gently and placed him on the sofa. Mystikal touched Knuckles on the shoulder and he stood up.

The four who were awake got the cots out and placed them on the floor. They then grabbed pillows and blankets, setting the beds. Oh yeah, they set out an extra bed… it was no coincidence.

"We should probably wake Sonic…"

She was interrupted by a swift knock on the door. Sonic woke up immediately and went to open the door. When he opened it, a hedgehog fell through. Before she hit the floor, he grabbed her. Oh, by the way, she looked like Sasha's exact opposite.

"Is she okay?" Knuckles asked. Mystikal, thinking that Knuckles might be falling in love, elbowed him in the ribs.

"What? I was just asking."

Sonic picked her up, and a picture fell from her hands. Shadow grabbed it and gasped with shock at the image of him and Sonic staring at him.

"Who- who is she?"

"Let me check," Sasha replied, walking towards her. She placed her hand on the stranger's forehead.

"Well?"

"Shadow, let me check your DNA."

"Why?"

"I have a strange feeling."

She walked over and placed her hand on his forehead, closing her eyes. Shadow felt a chill where her hand touched his forehead and knew that it was the magic. Abruptly, Sasha opened her eyes and said, "Shadow, she's your sister. I don't know how, but she is."

He stepped back, tripped on a cot, and landed on the floor, knocking him out instantly.

"Here we go again," Mystikal said, sounding bored.
