Sonic lay in a hammock, finishing up his favorite comic book, 'Sonic the Hedgehog!'
"Guess I'd better be heading back..." Sonic said as he finished the last page. He leaned over to get off the hammock, but proved difficult to get off. Sonic twisted and turned. He finally stood up and went to jump, but the hammock spun over, causing Sonic to fall on his face. Spitting out grass and dirt, Sonic rose to his feet. He wiped his mouth and started off towards the road. He stopped and looked both ways before crossing.
"Remember Kiddies, look both ways before crossing the road." Sonic says. No car was in sight for miles. Sonic began walking across the road, when a car smashed him into the ground. "The...Pain..." he muttered. He got back up and began running along the road. He passed a sign that read the next turn was to the Neutral Chao Garden. The turn was coming up. It headed straight into the forest, where the Garden was concealed. Sonic turned sharply and suddenly tripped over something. Sonic fell on his face and slid across the ground, filling his mouth with more dirt and grass. He couched up more dirt and grass and turned around. There was Shadow the Hedgehog with his leg extended out on the road.
"So..." Shadow said grinning.
"I found you! Faker!" Sonic yelled, pointing his finger at him as he returned to his feet. Shadow raised an eyebrow. Sonic then suddenly could keep a straight face. Shadow looked confused as Sonic burst out in laughter.
"What is so humorous?" Shadow said coolly. Sonic calmed down and looked at him.
"We're supposed to laugh at this part, duh!" Sonic said.
"I don't see why."
"Just do it!" They both started laughing like they heard the funniest joke in the world. Sonic soon stopped while Shadow continued. "Not that long Shadow..." Shadow stopped abruptly glared at Sonic.
"So, where are you headed?" Shadow asked
"The Neutral Chao Garden. Hey, your can come with me."
"Alright." Sonic and Shadow started walking down the road towards the garden.
"What happened?" Shadow looked over to Sonic. "You know, after the we battled that prototype."
"I fell into the atmosphere. It was very, very hot."
"How did you survive?"
"I didn't, I still had one extra life."
"I see... What have you been doing all this time?"
"Exploring the world, you would be amazed of how much this place looks like New Zealand." As they entered the garden, Sonic stopped and looked around.
"You're right!" Sonic said, " It does look like New Zealand." They ventured into the garden and passed housing that each chao lived in.
"Where did all this come from?" Shadow asked.
"I think they built them, but I'm not sure." Sonic shrugged his shoulders. Then, a bunch of newborn chao rushed up to Shadow chanting his name.
"They can talk too?" Shadow asked startled.
"Yeah, kinda missed when that happened too." Sonic said scratching his head. Now the chao were in a complete circle, surrounded Shadow.
"Show us a trick, Shadow." Each one said after another. Shadow had a scared, panicky look on his face as they drew closer to him. Shadow pulled out a Chaos Emerald.
"Chaos Control!" he yelled and disappear in a flash of energy. As the light faded, Sonic was now in his place.
"Shadow!" Sonic yelled. Shadow was now on the outside of the circle. The chao then clapped and cheered and wanted more. They moved in on Sonic now, like little chao zombies. "They're closing in, I need air." Sonic choked as he fell to his knees. Shadow reached over them and pulled Sonic out of the circle. "Oh, thanks Shadow." They fled from the chao and raced towards the hill. They stopped at the top of the hill and looked to see a very tall hill.
"Where did you say my chao was?" Shadow asked.
"Up there." Sonic pointed to the small house on the top of the hill. "You go ahead, I'm going to meet up with Tails."
"Alright." Sonic dashed off while Shadow started up the hill. Hours went by as Shadow tried to reach the top. The winding road went forever upward. Shadow looked over the edge to see he was very high up. "I don't remember it being this high..." He then looked up towards the house. It seemed as far as it was before. Shadow collapsed from exhaustion. Upon reopening his eyes, something on the hillside, if it is even a hill anymore. There were to round objects sticking out of the wall. Shadow got to his feet and examined. They both had arrows on them, pointing in different directions: up and down. He pressed the one that had the arrow that pointed up. The ground trembled as the wall split opened. Two pieces of rock wall slid into the mountain and then apart from each other. Light poured through the cracks. Finally, the trembles calmed down, the wall stopped moving and a little bell went off. Now what stood before Shadow was something was very unexpected:
An elevator! Shadow entered the small rectangular prism, and pressed the 'Top Floor' button. The elevator zoomed up and stopped, the little bell went off once more and the doors opened. Shadow exited and walked up to the little house. He knocked on the door.
"Go away! I don't like salesmen, relatives, bus drivers, taxi drivers, anything that smells or anything for that matter!" A squeaky voice came from inside.
"And what about old friends who burned up in the atmosphere a year ago?" Shadow asked.
"None of those either, they get ash on my carpet!"
"Open up!" Shadow bang on the door. The door opened a second later revealing a little dark chao.
"Shadow?"
"Booboo Luggage?"
"Shadow?"
"Booboo Luggage?"
"Shadow?"
"Booboo Luggage?"
"SHADOW!"
"BOOBOO LUGGAGE!" The chao ran up to him and hugged him. Shadow knelt down and petted him.
"Your back!" Booboo yelled in joy.
"Yes..." Shadow said.
"Guess I'd better be heading back..." Sonic said as he finished the last page. He leaned over to get off the hammock, but proved difficult to get off. Sonic twisted and turned.
