Chapter 25

(The next Friday…)

"Why do we always have to do this on the weekend?" the Ultimate Life Form complained as he and Rouge were walking down a path.

"Come on, you know this is the benefit of your child", the white bat replied. "Besides, this task should be really easy for you."

"Who am I going to baby-sit now? The fox brat?"

"Correct."

"Hm. Well, he shouldn't be a pain in the ass like the other two. Where are we going anyway?"

"We're going to visit him in the hospital", Rouge held up a bouquet of sunflowers. "He fell down the stairs about 3 days ago, and we're going to give him some support."

"So the proclaimed 'Smartest Ass Alive' ended up falling down the stairs?" Shadow raised an eyebrow. "What a do-do."

"Be nice, Shadow."

Inside the hospital, many nurses and doctors were busy with their patients. The janitors were cleaning up a few areas with blood and the backyard with puke near the stairs. Inside room 112, Tails was laying in his hospital bed watching TV. He had a cast on his right arm and bandages wrapped around his legs. Sure he had to wait for a long time to return home, but at least he got some nice hospitality around here.

"Hmm…I wonder why people always say that hospitals are scary and depressing", he said in thought. "Far as I know, I'm doing just fine. I get free food, the nurses here are hott, and I can stay up to watch TV if I want to. And the doctors here are a great help. Best of all, I don't have to deal with my idiotic friends."

"Mr. Prower, you have a couple visitors", Nurse Joy opened the door.

"Fine, fine", the fox sighed.

"Hiya Tails", Rouge walked in with flowers.

"Hey, Rouge, do you have any change?" Shadow came up behind her. "I need to buy a soda."

At that moment, Tails widened his eyes with fear. He could hear the famous 'Psycho (Murder-Shower Scene)' music playing in the background. Further in front of him was his worse nightmare. He saw the hedgehog looking at him and gulped. Then he suddenly envisioned him as a devilish creature with a chainsaw. Dreadfully, he screams and moves around in his bed.

"Mr. Prower, please calm down", the nurse rushed to his side.

"DEMON! SATAN! THE HORROR! MADNESS! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE! AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" the fox continued to have his fright seizure.

"What's wrong, Tails?" the bat asked. She heard Shadow snickering behind her and elbowed him in the gut.

"Oof!" he grunted in pain.

"What's going on here?" the doctor came in.

"He's losing himself, doctor!" Nurse Joy shrugged her shoulders.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!! CROSS, CROSS! I NEED MY CROSS! EVIL! EVIIIIILLLLLL!!!" Tails wouldn't shut up.

"I guess we have no other choice", the doctor sighed and snapped his fingers. A group of nurses appeared behind him and then restrained the poor fox down. While they did that, he pulled out a needle with some sort of medicine (or drug) in it. He sticks the needle in the fox's shoulder.

"The demon…is here…Evil…Evil…Evil…" the fox genius fell unconscious.

"Now THAT was freaking weird", the doctor placed his hands on his hips.

(One hour later…)

"Uh…" Tails woke up. "Where am I?"

"Are you ok, Tails?" Rouge asked while she was sitting in a chair next to him.

"Whoa…I thought I had this weird dream that I saw a demon…"

"It actually happened. You were put to sleep because you went crazy."

"…Oh. Did you come here by yourself?"

"Well…"

"The vending machine's empty", Shadow walked in with his arms crossed. "And I'm thirsty dammit."

Once again, the 'Psycho' theme played in the background. Tails shook in fright as he whimpered. The bat looked at Shadow who only shrugged his shoulders. Although he couldn't have another seizure attack, because he was strapped down in his bed. Shivers were sent down to his spine.

"What's with this kid?" the dark hedgehog raised an eyebrow.

"I dunno", Rouge shrugged her shoulders. "Why do you look so frightened?"

"D-D-D-D-D-Demon", Tails shivered as his eyes widened.

"Um…I'm gonna get the nurse now", the bat got up. "Shadow, watch over him", she ordered and walked out.

"Joy", Shadow murmured and took a seat in a chair near the TV. He turned to Tails who was still staring at him with trepidation. "What the hell are you looking at?" he narrowed his eyebrows.

"Eek!" the fox squeaked and shivered some more.

"Seriously, what is your problem? It's because I'm black, isn't it?"

"No."

"Hmph."

"Just don't eat me alive, please!"

"What?"

"THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!"

"What?"

"I said nothing!" The fox tried to reach for the help button on the dresser next to him.

This was starting to get on Shadow's nerves. Everytime they cross paths, Tails is the only one that freaks out, no matter what day it is. Filled with impatience, Shadow got up and shoved the button away from the fox brat. He crossed his arms.

"Crap!" the fox began to freak out.

"Ok, seriously, why do you keep freaking out everytime you see me!?" the hedgehog grabbed him by the neck.

"Because…I see you…as a demon", Tails tried to breathe. "Ever since we first met, I always thought that you were a very creepy guy." His neck was released. "Aye!" he exhaled some air.

"A demon? Why is that?"

"Well, you're a bad guy. All bad guys look like demons to me."

"So the Joker is a demon to you?"

"No, he just looks like a really freaky clown."

"What about Chewbacca?"

"Yeah, he's freaking scary. Although, he's not a bad guy."

"Hm. Now I see what's wrong with you. You need to stop watching crazy movies. Especially at night."

"…Oh."

"Ok, we're back", Rouge returned with a nurse. "Is everything ok?"

"Hm…" Tails came up with a revenge plan. "This is for you Cosmo." He inhaled some air. "SECURITY! HE TRIED TO KILL ME!" he pointed at Shadow.

"Why, you little…!" the hedgehog crackled his fists. Before he could've punched the boy, he got tackled down by a few buffed security guards.

(Later that night…)

"So…How long are you going to be like this?" Amy asked.

"Honestly, I'm not quite sure", the male hedgehog replied. He was in bed with lots of bandages wrapped around his entire body.

LOLOLOL! Hilarious! Yeah, I finally returned! Stupid school! Well, no time to complain, just R&R, thanks! Oh, and please do not take offense to the black joke thing. Besides I'm black (though I look mixed), so it's cool. =p
