Title: Connection- Chp 4
Author: Blu Evermind
Summary: When Sonic and Shadow went Super, The combined power of the Chaos Emeralds connects Sonic and Shadow to each other. A year after Shadow's disappearance, Sonic still can't let go. What could it mean?
A/N: The plot is not as complicated as I thought. The reviewers said it fit...woah. Fiona goodness! ^_^
Chapter Four
Because everyone was making so much noise at breakfast, Rouge suggested that they put Sonic in Tails' room for the time being. Knuckles and Shadow carried him, almost dropped him once but Sonic stayed asleep.
"I don't see why we're doing this, Sonic goes to sleep to loud music, what could loud voices possibly do?" Knuckles said, after laying him on the bed.
Shadow laughed but didn't respond. When they got back to the kitchen, Rouge was setting out plates and glasses of orange juice. Fiona was getting Tails caffinated pop (he was too young to drink coffee, what is he, 10?). Shadow went to get the skillet of eggs. It'd be a long time for Shadow to fit in, he was like a zombie--the nice kind of course.
After all the food was passed out (and Shadow had saved a plate for Sonic, he's so nice) they began to eat.
"These eggs are good." Fiona said, "Who made them?"
"I did," Shadow responded.
"Sonic can't cook worth a damn. He's always eating take-out, its not healthy with all that msg and stuff. But the last time I let him cook, he burned the fur off of his ears." Tails said, laughing.
Shadow sweatdropped. Were 10 year olds suppose to use the word 'damn'?
"After breakfast, me and Knuckles are going to meet Amy at the fair in Twinkle park. Its like they set those things up overnight." Rouge explained.
Fiona grabbed Tails' hand, "Do you want to go, Miles?"
"I suppose so..." the fox boy could go for long periods of time without sleep, he was a genius, wasn't he? "Do you want to come, Shadow?"
"What?" Shadow asked.
"Do you want to come with us to the fair?"
"Oh, no thankyou, I'll just stay here." Shadow responded quickly.
"Okay," Tails said, "That's fine."
Knuckles stood up, "Okay, who's going to wash the dishes?"
Rouge stood up also, at the same time as Tails, "Its not me." They responded at the same time.
"What--NO!" Fiona cried. "You little freaks! Just cause I'm not finshed eating doesn't mean--"
"That's the new rule. The last one to finish, does the dishes." Tails said.
"Was that suppose to rhyme?" Fiona asked.
"No..." he trailed off, walking away to his room. Knuckles and Rouge left to the living room. Shadow was just...there.
Fiona grumbled and stood up, gathering the dishes. Shadow stood up and steadied her hands, "I'll help you."
Fiona smiled, "Thanks!" she said, "Can you start the dishwater? Tails is such a techie, but does he have a dishwasher?--nooo. If we ever get married, I'm forcing him to buy one."
Shadow turned around, shocked, "What?" Fiona didn't look older than 14 or 15.
She blushed, "Did I say that out loud? Oh well, happens sometimes."
Shadow quickly processed that the little pink fox was clearly insane.

About half an hour later, the group left for Twinkle park from Tails' apartment. Shadow decided to check on Sonic and think about what Tails had said.
~ the chaos emeralds' power was combined, and so to some extent was Sonic and Shadow...~
But what did it mean when the emerald shattered and went dark? Did the connection that he and Sonic share, die? Would Sonic go on about his regular routine, being Shadow's rival? Shadow looked at his fur, it was free of all sand after he'd hit the shore. Sonic must have brushed it all out.
Maybe the scientific connection died, but something else, something more personal was now between them...bringing them together. Shadow sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Sonic for a moment. He looked at peace. That's what Shadow wanted to be, at peace. But he'd never get to see Maria ever again, so that peace was out of the question.
But could he have it with him?
*I don't know if he likes me like that, but he does care* Shadow thought, and lay down next to Sonic, looking at his sleeping face until he fell into a restless sleep, at peace with everything around him.

Meanwhile, at Twinkle Park, Rouge was patting Knuckles on the back as he vomited in a trashcan. "See, I told you not to ride the Zipper."
"At least he didn't choke on his gum like that girl's auntie over there." Fiona said, looking at Knuckles distastefully.
"I hope she's okay." Tails added thoughtfully.
Fiona took Tails' arm, "Let's go ride the Ferris Wheel! Come on!"
"Okay, but it looks like it could do with a extra layer of paint and it might need to be oiled down a bit...and the hinges on the seats look rusty and..." Tails trailed off as Fiona dragged him over to the ride.
"I hate riding with Tails, he has to know every flaw and he just made the supervisor at The Ring of Fire cry..." Knuckles said, pulling his head from the trashcan and eating the breathmint Rouge had just given him.
"Look, there goes the Swan Ride, don't you want to go on that?" Rouge said seductivly.
"I dunno...people may be watching us..." Knuckles said grinning.
"Oh, come on, the only ones there are probably deaf old people and and bratty little kids."
"Like Amy?"
"No, not like Amy...why do you ask?"
"No, there's Amy." Knuckles said, pointing.
Amy ran up to meet them, "Hi! Is Soniku with you?"
"No, he's tired so we left him." Rouge said. Purposely not telling her were.
"Where--"
"Look!" Knuckles said from no where. "Cotton candy!"
"Where? I want some!" Amy said, turning around as Knuckles and Rouge quickly flew away.
They landed next to the exiting gate of the Ferris Wheel. Knuckles turned to Rouge, "Why didn't you tell her where he was? She could go torment him instead."
"Are you daft? Don't you see?" Rouge said, slapping her forehead.
"No...see what?" Knuckles asked.
"How Shadow looks at Sonic? And Sonic likes Shadow, unlike Amy..."
"Oh....I still don't get it."
Rouge was getting angry, "Shadow would be better for him!" she cried. Everybody around stopped and faced her.
Knuckles laughed and took her hand, "Come on, lets go get you a caffeine free pop or something. And a cotton candy. You'd like that, wouldn't you?"
"I'm not going anywhere near that Cotton Candy stand." Rouge mumbled.
