Authors note: I was board so I decided to write a sequel to desert adventure. (I realize that desert Adventure is a VERY stupid name, so I'm open to suggestions for a better title.) I don't own Sonic or anything.

It was a nice day. There was a small breeze and only a couple clouds in the sky. It had been almost two years since Shadow died. Sonic couldn't believe that the time had passed by so quickly. Since only he and Knuckles came back from space, they were the only ones that got credit. No realized that a third went and saved the world!

Sonic sat on a bench, thinking. He had taken the chao to the park, because he trained them not to run away and to come whenever he whistled.

"I guess no one believed us when we said Shadow deserved most of the credit because he once played a dark part. And yet that was his second time saving the planet." Said Sonic, talking to a young chao that was sitting next to him.

Sonic was used to publicity. He became more famous all the time. He was the hero of the city, so you would think people would believe him if he said something. Sonic tried to get used to Shadow not being around, but it was hard. After all that Shadow had done. Trying to save him after being beaten up, and rescuing him from the torture camp. It was just too much for Sonic.

"What's wrong" Sonic heard a familiar voice. It was Knuckles.

"Oh. I'm just thinking." He answered.

"I wish you would stop worrying about Shadow." Said Knuckles, "He's gone and there's nothing you can do!"

"Yeah. I know. It's just that… he did so much for me! I didn't do a thing for him!" said Sonic sadly.

"That's not true! You helped him after he was shot, didn't you?!" said Knuckles, trying to cheer him up.

"I guess." Answered Sonic lamely.

"Listen to me! Shadow died saving us! You! Me! And everyone on this planet! He would want you to be happy!" said Knuckles.

"Yea. I guess."

"You guess?! What the hell have you been smoking?! Would you rather be dead or alive?!" yelled Knuckles.

Sonic smiled. Ever since they had come back from space, Sonic and Knuckles were better friends.

"Come on! Let's go! We're going to my place for a party' said Sonic feeling better.

"What for?!"

"You, helping me see things strait!" Sonic said and then whistled for the chao to come.

As Sonic said, they went back to his place for a two person party. They ordered a pizza and stayed up late, listening to music and joking and stuff. It was great!

That's it for this chapter. It was VERY short, I know, but I didn't want to add more and it's kinda needed for the story.
