'ELLO! I'M BACK! Anyway, I see I didn't get as many reviews as last time!
:( Oh well, there goes my writing career! Thanks for reviewing anyway
though! Ima try and make this chapter longer than the other one, I just
realized that it was short! :-P! READ ON!
Chapter 4:
"Unh....."
A figure emerged from the huge crater around him and collapsed on the sandy ground.
Shadow the Hedgehog.
"Where am I?" he wondered as he lay there, half concious. He didn't know he'd landed on Emerald Coast, which was deserted exept for a few people, and they didn't seem to notice him in the dark, until a certain couple walked in on him, that is.

Amy sighed, "Wow, Sonic, isn't this just romantic?"
"Yyyeaa...." Sonic said dully, slouching his shoulders. He hadn't wanted to go out tonight, but Amy insisted on it. Suddenly, Sonic stumbled and fell upon an unmoving object laying sprawled on the ground.
"OOMPH! Hey! What was that?" Amy helped him up, while looking for whatever or whoever it was that had tripped her boyfriend. The azure hedgehog gasped when he saw what made him fall down.
"Sh - sh - sh - Shadow?!"
The pink hedgehog poked Shadow. "He's not moving. Maybe we should get him to a hospital?" Sonic nodded, picked him up, and ran as fast as possible with his girlfriend clinging on desprately.

(A/N: Minor note here, things with only one quote around them [i.e. 'like this'] means someone's thinking it.)
"Maybe we should get him to a hospital?" a voice said above him. Then, there was rushing wind, and the sound of speeding footsteps, Shad suspected, to the hospital.
'This could only be Sonic.' he thought to himself. Unless there was another 'Ultimate Life-form' out there, Sonic was the only one that could run as fast as himself.
~*~
Soon enough, they arrived at the hospital with the black and red hedgehog in tact. Both of them wondered just how they were going to explain what happened to their one time enemy. A nurse passing by them glanced at Shadow and had already asked what happened, so Sonic made up a little white lie to save himself the trouble of going through the whole story.
"Well, my friend here was in a fire accident, and he got burned preeeety badly. See?" he pointed out the practically charred fur on the unconcious hedgehog. She bought it, nodded, and took him from Sonic and Amy's hands.
"Would you rather wait in here, or go home?" she asked, seeing how tired they were. Amy shook her head.
"We'd like to stay and keep our friend company, if you don't mind." she said, with the most pleading look she could muster. The nurse, Maria, as Sonic saw on the nametag, called for a stretcher and took him to what seemed an emergency room.
Sonic raised an eyebrow. 'Shad'll go crazy when he sees that name.'
The pink hedgehog glanced out the window. It was morning already, and she could see people heading out for their jobs in suits of various colors and styles. She tugged on her boyfriend's arm.
"We'd best get some rest, so if Shad wakes up, we can keep him company."
He agreed, and they sat down on one of the lobby chairs and fell into a deep slumber.

Knuckles yawned, and realized that he wasn't anywhere near the Master Emerald Shrine. A little '?' popped over his head before remembering the previous night (lol, anime, duncha just lurve it? ^^'). Realizing Rouge wasn't there, he ran towards the shrine to see that she was already on duty. She raised an eyebrow as she saw him approach.
"Good morning, or afternoon, rather."
He just grinned sheepishly.
"Err. . . I had a call from Amy this morning. Seems they found Shadow."
This news brought Knuckles fully back to his senses. "They did?"
His girlfriend nodded. "Yeah, and they say he's in the hospital. He isn't awake yet, but Amy wants everyone there."
"She doesn't mean Eggman I hope."
Rouge shook her head. "Of course not. Everyone meaning you, me, Sonic, Amy, and Tails."
The red echidna yawned, stretched, and nodded. "Okay then, let's go."
