I do not own Sonic or any of Sega's other characters. I thought you knew that already. Oh yes this story is in honor of the best choa I ever had: EX. Who was lost in fatal transfer accident. Remember kids. When trading never save on the leaving end and not on the receiving end. Excuse me I have to go mope now.

It was a hot humid day the kind where you would want nothing more than to be in a pool, but unfortunately for our favorite hedgehog he can't swim. So Sonic had tied a hose to a branch and sat underneath it with the water streaming down his face. He was glaring at the wall of Eggman's newest lab. Tails and Eggman were inside working on a machine to reincarnate Shadow.

"They didn't have to kick me out I only broke a few things!" Sonic thought out loud. The water filled his mouth and he fell to spitting it out. Every time he did more water came in. This cycle continued for quite sometime until a sound more horrible than rap from a Chuck E. Cheese commercial filled his ears.

" Hey Sonic!"

"Don't be Amy, don't be Amy," Sonic whispered to himself until he began to gargle from all the water.

" Hey Silly you're all wet." Amy said with a giggle. Opening his eyes to see the Amy Rose with a shopping bag Sonic let out a huge sigh.

" I didn't notice I was wet Amy." Sonic said in a dry monotone. He got up and turned of the hose.

"Sonic would you like some ice cream?" Amy said gesturing towards her bag. Sonic shrugged than nodded and reached towards the bag.

"Well if you want any you gotta kiss me!" Amy sang out swinging the bag away from Sonic.

" You gotta be kidding me? It's probably melted anyway!" Sonic said angrily, but he wanted that ice cream. The two began to stare each other in the eye fighting to see who would give in first. Their silent battle of wills was interrupted by a shrill: "WE DID IT" from the lab. The two hedgehogs turned to see Tails running up to them grinning like a jack 'o' lantern.

" Shadows back, Shadows back SHADOWS BACK!" Tails shouted.

" Down boy" Sonic said with a pat on Tails head.

" We just accomplished what people have been trying to do for years. We'll go down in history as the greatest scientists ever. I beat you Dexter I beat Yooooooou!" Tails said this all in one breath. His cheeks turned blue from lack of air. He took in a deep breath and then said." Eggman has to do some stuff with Shadow to make sure he knows what's going on. and stuff. He sent me to go get Knuckles and Rouge. Wanna come?"

" Of course buddy you and I are never apart," Sonic said smiling don at Tails with pride as if he himself was responsible for Tails genius.

" Can I come to." Amy squeaked.

"Do we have a choice?" Sonic said dryly.

"Of course you don't."

Me: Later at time that is not where we left of f.

Choa: Shuddup.

Me: Ex is that you?

Choa: No! I'm not even a hero choa! Any way folks on with the show! Oh yeah and she doesn't own Sonic.

Sonic and Amy stand the wings of the Tornado Tails, of course, is in the cockpit.

" Tails do you think maybe Eggman used you to bring Shadow back and they're gonna take over the world?" Sonic said and then " Amy let go of me!"

" I'm gonna fall." Amy wailed.

" No Sonic I trust Eggman. He's a changed man. Take his waffles for example. Anyone who makes waffles that good can't be evil!" Tails replied as if Amy hadn't said anything.

" You're right Tails he does make waffles good." Sonic said thinking about waffles.

" He makes waffles well. Sonic not good well." Tails yelled.

" Whatever" Sonic muttered.

" Get offa me you accursed Choa off, OFF!"

" Hey Tails dive down I think I here Knuckles yelling at someone." Sonic cocked his head as he talked listening to Knuckles rant.

" You sure that's him Sonic?" Tails said readying the plane for a nosedive.

" Trust me I know Knuckles yell. I've heard it at the receiving end plenty O times!" Sonic replied grinning. " Now Dive!"

On the ground. Glancing about Sonic sees a squirming mass of green. The thing was squeaking, but underneath the din Sonic heard Knuckles voice: " The master emerald is not candy!"

" I think the choa are killing him, Sonic!" Amy Squealed. Thinking quickly (or as quick as he could) Sonic ran at the mass of choa. In fear the choa scattered in all directions screaming like mad. The last choa turned and looked back at them smirking. (Can choa smirk?) He was lighter green then the others; above his head he held the master emerald. He stuck out his tongue then ran away.

" Fast little sucker ain't he?" Sonic said surprised. Then he turned to where the choa had been swarming to see Knuckles hitting his head against the ground, cursing like a sailor.

"Knuckles! Don't swear in front of Tails!" Amy scolded.

" Well maybe I wouldn't have to if Sonic had gone and got the emerald. His feet may be fast but his brain sure isn't!" Knuckles muttered.

" Those are funny words! "Tails said smiling then "*#$@%&&*^% teehee that was fun!"

" Want to learn more, Tails!" Knuckles said almost smiling.

" I think Tails will be okay with just those for know. Listen Knuckles; we'll help get the emerald later. Meanwhile why don't you come with us we're gonna go get Rouge." Sonic said cutting Knuckles off before he could continue Tails' lesson in profanity. Knuckles eyes lit up when Sonic said Rouges name but he quickly suppressed his excitement.

" Sure I'll come. I bet those choa jerks are after the chaos emeralds too. Do you know what happened to them after we left the colony?" Knuckles asked pretending he didn't really want to g.

" Well you see Knuckles when you gather all seven together a dragon appears and he'll grant any wish but after that they fly to the ends of the earth!" Tails said. Everyone stared at him.

" What did I tell you about reading my T rated manga?" Sonic scolded raising his eyebrows.

" Not to?" Tails said sheepishly.

(A/N Sorry couldn't help myself I like DB too much)

"Actually Knuckles we took them back with us we used them to power a machine to bring Shadow back to life. I sure hope they don't take the chaos emeralds because Shadow needs their power every month to stay alive!" Tails told Knuckles.

"IS that why you came and got me? All right lets go find Rouge. We have to make sure the emeralds are okay!" Knuckles shouted.

" Let's go." Amy cried.

" You always need to get in the last word. Don't you?" Knuckles said wryly.

" Yes I do," said Amy "Yes I do,"
