ANGERS

-What did Eggman mean by all that Shadow stuff, Sonic?-Tails asked, Shadow was watching from his hiding place.-Nothing, Tails, he just wanted to make me angry.-And he did, indeed he did.-said Knuckles provocatively. Sonic replied angrily-Shut up, don´t say a word.-Amy calmly joined the conversation:-Don't worry, Tails. You're just a kid yet, you don't have to understand the big stuff. Shadow and Sonic are very close friends who learned a lot from each other.-Tails opened his innocent eyes and looked at Sonic for an explanation, he was so disturbed that Sonic couldn't avoid him.-What does that mean?-he said. Sonic sighed deeply, closed his eyes and said-Come, buddy. I have to tell you something.-and the two went to a private place that turned out to be right in front of Shadow's hideout, as premeditated.

You know I don't mess around, I'd like to know how to do it now because... it's hard to get rid of it all at once...-You and Shadow... sit under a tree and... you know... kiss?-No! We don't do that!-he shouted in a scandalized whisper, Shadow with his back to a trunk clenched his fists with a hint of indignation. Tails examined Sonic and put aside his innocent age to catch up with his friend as he had done on previous occasions-I know you, buddy. I know when you want to avoid something.-No, we're not dating, we don't do things like that. Yak, that's disgusting. No, no, no. And with Shadow? First of all, he's a guy, and I don't like guys. Second: he's annoying, grumpy, boring...-A torrential kiss in front of the boy went through Shadow's head to silence his beloved idiot and teach him a lesson, to end once and for all with any doubt and make everything clear. His hands clung to the trunk where he covered himself, instinct warned him of his mistake, a civilised intuition held the reins of his outburst. Then he said to himself:-I am not like that, I do not rub my private affairs in front of others like do any cheap rabble. I must take care of my image even if this rag deserves a lesson.-And while Sonic was disqualifying Shadow by telling him slow, fake, no style in dress and all the things he said bragging in front of his friends, he suddenly confessed totally anxious:-yes, we are dating, we did it several times... No! I mean we went out several times!-What!?-We are... something like a secret match.-Why didn't you tell me?-It's just, Tails, you know how I am, I don't like that, being seen in a relationship.-Why did everybody know about it except me who is your best friend!-Because you're a kid.-Screw that I'm a kid!-Tails!-How bad you are, you didn't trust me!-No, buddy, I do trust you, but I was afraid of how you might react. I care for you a big deal.-Do you know how I will react? By telling you to Break up with him and go out with Amy!-What do you say? Amy is not the centre of my life!-If you continue with Shadow and leave Amy broken, you'll be an evil and a clown, that's how everyone will see you. Aha!-said Tails in a light-That's why Amy is so strange and like dead and Knuckles distant with you!-Sonic wanted to excuse himself but Tails continued-Why did you put me aside, why didn't you tell me, I feel like the fool of the group.-No, dude.-Sonic noticed the sadness and disappointment in the eyes of his beloved longtime companion. Tails didn't seem to care about his unusual relationship with Shadow but rather about the open secret that he couldn't even imagine.-I´m sorry, buddy.-Tails felt tiny, and Sonic noticed, he knew what this meant.-Just don't make Amy any sadder than she already is. Don't worry everything will be fixed.-Yes, it will all work out.-he replied with a fake smile. Tails walked down to meet Amy and Knuckles leaving Sonic alone in the middle of his excuses. He couldn't say anything to keep him. Hurting Tails was the worst thing that could happen. Disillusioning his friends was something he could not afford. He expected something by looking sadly and sideways at his group, they did the same.-Come-said Knuckles-Let's get something to eat before I go back to Angel Island.-Tears streamed from the blue hedgehog's eyes, his ears went down like a helpless puppy, he could fight off any evil, like the unfathomable anguish of his beloved Shadow, but not in any way separate him from his friends.

I didn't think this would end like this. I never worried about others knowing about us anyway. But for one of us to be ashamed of the other is something completely different...-Shadow said to himself-Anyways, I honestly thought that everything would be more peaceful, I thought that we would distance ourselves very gradually over, I don't know, the years? I'm not ready to quit him so suddenly, I don't want to. But we're causing a lot of damage and we're the talk and teasing of that foolish Robotnik. They are right. Amy is... the one for Sonic even if it's not the time for the two of them to be together. Time will tell, I see that it´s not possible to plan anything with these kind of things.-he slapped his face.-How can I be so sadistically cold? If he walked away from me I would be devastated. Now I understand my pup when he gets angry with me. Understand... I hope everyone understands, understands us. I hope Amy is strong. She's in love just like me. "Shadow and Sonic are very close friends who learned a lot from each other" this we are by definition, very good girl, she is an intelligent and awake girl, she is ideal for my pup... Shut up, you stupid hedgehog!
