Welcome to Chapter 2! Thanks to those who reviewed. I've heard good and bad against it being un-Sonadow. I'm thinking maybe after I'm done, I'll do a Sonadow version? Maybe that would please all. Anyways, on with the story!

Sonic was awoken the next morning by the telephone. Scrambling to reach it, he accidentally knocked over a glass of water, and picked up the receiver. A very groggy greeting came from his mouth. "Yo. this is Sonic," was all that he could manage to mumble. "Sonic?" A female voice came from the other end. "Sonic, I'm sorry to call so early, but you might want to take a look at the news on channel 4." It was Rouge. "Rouge, if this is about Eggman, than I'm going back to bed. I can put up with him later." Sonic said, resisting the urge to fall asleep again. "No Sonic. it's news about Shadow! Be quick, it's on now!" Sonic's mind raced as he quickly flipped on the television to the news. ". was transported this morning to a nearby hospital this morning in critical condition. Shadow was found off the coast of Downunda at 4:57 this morning, and few need to be reminded of his bravery fighting the giant monster and saving the planet with hero Sonic the hedgehog! The man who rescued him gave us a comment." "I was so surprised to find a crater in backyard." The phone fell from his hands and fell to the ground with a thud. Sonic just stared. It felt as if a weight had been taken off his shoulders, but was dropped straight onto his head.
"I. don't believe it." was all he could whisper.
"Sonic? Sonic?" Rouge could be heard from the floor. Sonic snapped out of his trance and picked up the phone.
"Yeah Rouge?" Sonic said.
"Well, I've informed everyone, and we're all heading over to Downunda to visit Shadow. Will you come along?" Something was gnawing at Sonic. What would he say to him? Would he yell at him, like he had done at Tails?
"I'm not so sure I want to go." Sonic said slowly to Rouge.
"Well. if that's what you feel like. Well, we're leaving in an hour; we'll be taking off from Tail's place. If you decide otherwise, you can meet us there. Bye." Rouge hung up. Sonic quietly hung up the telephone, and flopped onto his bed. Should he go see him? He and Shadow weren't really on speaking terms. But they HAD saved the world together, maybe he owed an apology? Yet, he had just screamed at poor Tails the night before about how Shadow was a quitter and killed himself, yet still, there he was, alive again. It was like seeing a ghost.

And yet, he couldn't decide if he should go or not.

Oh yeah, Chapter 2. Please review if you can! Shadow's back! Woot!
