Sorry this is a little late, but I still hadn't come up with a chapter until the day I was suppose to post, and then finally a few ideas that had been bouncing in my head fell together. And then I didn't have time to type it, so it's late. XD Granted, I had ideas of my own and ones you guys have given me, but I just couldn't decide what I wanted at this stage in the story. But I'm rather pleased with how this turned out!
ChibiRyou200: Hehe, glad you liked Shadie! Thanks for reviewing!
Shadlay: Ah, I remember the Biolizard very well. Hated that thing. Like the idea! Thanks for the review!
Shadowchaos1000: Hey, are you still posting your fanfic? It's been awhile, I think. Thanks for your review!
Airiko-the-Angel13: Awesome idea! Thanks for reviewing!
Dark-Illusion-Detective: 15/10?!!! Sweet! Thanks bunches! XD Ooo, I like this thought process. Are you saying that Clawson was the one who was blamed or the one who actually kills her? Thanks for the review!
Hissara: Did you get my PM? Just checking. XD Thanks for your review!
Disclaimer: I don't own the Sonic series, or the song Breakfast by the Newsboys.
CH. 14 Breakfast
A special thanks to Airiko-the-Angel13, who's idea helped me create the second half of this chapter!
The kitchen near the Professor's room was larger and white. It had a wide array of food and two of nearly every appliance to keep up with all the people. Similar kitchens were scattered throughout the ARK.
Maria and Shadow had gone into the kitchen before most were awake to make the Professor breakfast as a surprise.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" the hedgehog asked, peeling an egg to add to his pile.
She rolled her blue eyes. "Of course! I can cook."
Shadow sighed, getting some fruits.
She hummed a tune as she cooked the sausage. Then she went over to butter the toast.
"At least he'll like this," she said. "He's always working so hard."
"I agree."
"And if-" She stopped, frowning. "I smell smoke."
They both turned to the oven where the sausage was engulfed in flames.
Shadow had gotten a cup and was filling it with water before the scream could leave her mouth.
He stood there, tapping his foot impatiently as the water slowly filled up the cup. His tapping was so fast it sounded like a drum roll.
The smoke alarm started going off. Shadow dumped the water into the flames as Maria began throwing ice.
The fire was still there and Shadow yanked a water jug from the fridge, ripped the side open, and dumped it on the oven.
At last the fire went out, and he grabbed her hand as they raced away from the scene.

They did get in trouble for the incident, but not much. The Professor especially thought it was hilarious, and wouldn't let them live it down.
Later that week it was the Professor's birthday. The entire ARK celebrated. There was food, presents, games, and a talent show.
There were acts such as juggling, singing, instrument playing, dancing, origami, and walking in a handstand. Maria and Shadow entered, playing a rock song like they had done a long time ago.
The Professor watched with a smile as they played, the two taking turns singing.
"Breakfast-clubbers say the motto
That he taught us to repeat
You will lose it in your gym class
If you wait 'til noon to eat."
Their was laughter, everyone still remembering quite clearly the breakfast incident, and how the Professor kept making fun of them because of it.
The two jumped up and down during the chorus, singing:
"When the toast is burnin'
All the milk has turned in
Captain Crunch is waving farewell
When the big one finds you
May this song remind you
That they don't serve breakfast in Hell."
The Professor broke into a wide smile. He had forgotten how much he loved him.
By the end of the song everyone was dancing and singing with them. And Shadow and Maria felt they had redeemed themselves.
By the way, Breakfast is a really fantastic song! It has a lot of energy and humor, but is also deep. I heard it when I went to a Newsboys concert with my friends, and instantly got it on my ipod. You guys should definitely listen to it, there's plenty of websites you can go to to play music.
