The Friendship (Minus Shadow)...

"No!" Sonic yelled. He fell to his knees and began weeping.

"Oh now you've done it!" Knuckles scolded. He walked over and comforted Sonic.

"Sorry..." Sonic86 apologized. Anyway, they were making there way to the forest of spooky things until I mentioned that terrible incident.

"Psst..." Tails said to Sonic86.

"What, I'm telling a story..." I whispered.

"We use the term 'Pillow Sniffers' as to relate to Shadow's death..." Tails explained, whispering as well.

"Why the hell would you use that?" I asked.

"Would you think of that as Shadow's death?"

"No..."

"Well, Sonic doesn't seem to so we use that." By this time Sonic was all better and ready to continue. They ventured into the forest of spooky things and proceeded cautiously through the forest.

"Why do they call if the forest of creepy things?" Sonic asked.

"It's the forest of spooky things and they call it because spooky things happen." Charmy explained.

"Like what?" Tails asked.

"They say there is a evil, annoying and obsessive girl that speaks to people with her mind."

"That's silly..." Sonic said.

"Sonic..." A sudden female voice entered his mind. "Soooooniiic..." Sonic continued walking as if nothing was happening. "SONIC!!!" The voice screamed.

"Okay, I'm here..." Sonic responded.

"Okay... You bring evil with you..." The voice whispered.

"That's it? You bothered me for that?!" Sonic yelled. The rest of the Friendship (minus - I mean 'Pillow Sniffers') was staring at Sonic with an eyebrow raised.

"You okay Sonic?" Tails asked.

"Great!" Sonic got a big grin on his face and began marching in front of the group.

"Didn't take him long to forget Shadow's death, did he?" Tails said. Suddenly, he realized what he said and covered his own mouth. Sonic stopped and slowly turned around. Everyone watched in horror, wondering what was going to happen.

"You've done it now Tails..." Knuckles said. As Sonic's face came into view, it revealed sadness and tears in his eyes. Then he began to cry with tears flying out of his eyes like a fountain. Suddenly, animals came out of nowhere holding guns to everyone's head.

"Not the kindest creatures of the forest, are they?" Charmy said

"Sonic cried so loud, we could have shot him with our hands tied behind our backs..." Mighty the Armadillo said. He walked up to Knuckles with a grin on his face.

"Mighty, Nous avons besoin de vos chaussettes... (Mighty, we need your socks...)" Knuckles said. Mighty looked at him strangely. Knuckles looked in his little French booklet. "Oh... Aide... (Help...) Nous avons besoin de votre aide... (We need your help...) Sorry..."

"Venir... (Come...)" Mighty commanded. "La maƮtresse souhaite vous voir (The mistress wishes to see you.)" The Friendship (minus 'Pillow Sniffers'...) followed them into deep forest of spooky things...

(Later, when it was getting dark...)
The mistress, they call here, stood before The Friendship (minus Shadow) - uh I mean... oops.

"DAMN IT!!!" Knuckles yelled. Everyone turned to Sonic, but was surprised to see he didn't lose it this time.

"It's okay guys..." Sonic sniffed. "I think I can stand the pain now. Knuckles placed his hand on Sonic's shoulder and nodded his head in approval. Suddenly, tears filled Sonic's eyes and began to bawl. Everyone sweatdropped.

"Shadow is not with you..." The mistress spoke. This caused Sonic to cry out even more.

"Sure lady! Make it worse!" Tails scolded.

"He has fallen into shadow... A great, big, deep, dark pit..." The mistress continued.

"How... *sniff* how do you know that?" Sonic choked.

"I have foreseen it..." The mistress removed her veil to show her face.

"GASP!!!" They all gasped.

"It's true!!! It's the evil, annoying and obsessive girl!!!" Sonic yelled. Then he proceeded to scream like a little schoolgirl. The mistress is none other than...

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! You're reading another sentence to stall you. Now you never know... until now...

Amy... She was glared at Sonic and then continued down to great them.

"Hey guys, long time no see..." Amy said.

"Don't try to change the subject!" Sonic said, pointing at Amy and still clutching onto Knuckles head. "How did you know Shadow fell into the deep, dark pit?"

"Easy..." She pulled out a large deck of tarot cards and drew the first one. "See?" The picture on the card was Shadow and the Prototype falling with the debris of the shattered bridge into the deep, dark pit.

"Oh..." Sonic said. Knuckles grabbed Sonic and pulled him of his head.

"Well, why don't you stay and rest here for the night..." Vector began to break down into tears as Amy spoke.

"Don't worry you are protected here for..." The words seemed to drift away from Sonic's mind. "Sonic..." He heard in his head. "The one who has seen the head!"

(Later...)
Knuckles and Vector sat at a table playing duel monsters.

"I call out Celtic Guardian!" Knuckles placed the card on the table. "And I end my turn by placing one card on the field.

"I draw..." Vector stated. "I place Gearfried the Iron Knight in attack mode and he attacks Celtic Guardian!"

"I counter with this!" Knuckles flipped over the card he had placed on his last turn, revealing the trap card, Reinforcements. "Reinforcements increases Celtic Guardian attack power to 1900, destroying Gearfried the Iron Knight and deducts 100 from your Life Points!"

Vector - 0800
Knuckles - 1500

Vector glared at him as he place his card in the graveyard. Knuckles drew a card form his deck and stared at his hand.

"I sacrifice Celtic Guardian and Mystical Elf to summon the DARK MAGICIAN!!!" Knuckles slammed the card on the table. "And he attacks your Life Points directly!"

Vector - 0000
Knuckles - 1500

"I win..." Knuckles said with a wide smile, but noticed that Vector was in tears. "You okay? It's only a game..."

"It's just as she said." Vector said.

"Who?"

"Amy, I heard her voice in my mind... She said I do not have the strength to become a duelist..."

"Sure you can..." Knuckles sat down next to him. "You just have to believe in the heart of the cards."

"It been so long so I could believe anything..." Vector stared straight ahead.
