Shadow didn't know where he was going. He was just running as fast as he
could, no matter where that took him. He had had his chance at love, and
completely missed it.
To add to that, he had been sent to kill the only guy he thought was cool!
Shadow pulled out his cell phone and clicked one of the speed-dial numbers. He needed some psychiatrist help.
"Yo, doc, pick up!" Shadow sobbed.
"Hello. Dr. Robotnik's office. This is his secretary, Mr. Snively. How may I help you?" was the answer.
"P-please connect me to the doctor! Now!!" Shadow continued to cry.
"Hello, this is Dr. Robotnik. May I ask who's calling?" a familiar metallic voice asked.
"You stupid bastard!!" Shadow screamed. "If I had only known!"
"What are you saying?" the doctor asked.
"You ruined my life! Don't expect to sleep tonight, for if you do, I guarantee you won't wake up!"
Shadow slammed the cell phone shut, heading straight home. He needed to sleep.
As soon as he got home, he flopped right into his bed, sobbing into his pillow. He had lost his family, friends, and now this!
He couldn't do anything to stop the memories suddenly overtaking him. The screaming, the dying, and all of it his fault.
Even without intending too, he silently slipped into a coma, reality slipping from his grasp.
However, it could be argued that he had let go...
"Hey! He's waking up! So, Sonic, what's with the new look?"
"Wha—?" Shadow mumbled, still too weak to talk. He remembered being upset and then falling asleep...but now he felt a little weird...
Panic grabbed so suddenly it scared the person next to him. His jacket was gone, as well as practically everything else, except for his shoes and socks. He was also in a completely different body. A hedgehog body!
Staring at his hands, he just mumbled to himself, "Where am I?" not even expecting a reply. However, he did get one.
"Why, yur in Knothole Village, shuga."
Shadow jumped and looked next to him, only to see a half robot rabbit, a walrus, and a fox wearing a uniform.
"Zee peepel of this village are glad too have yoo back, Zonic!" the fox exclaimed, bowing as he did so. "Onother stroke if luck iz the abzenze of Dr. Robotnik while yoo were zleeping." The only thing that made things worse was the fact that the fox was rolling his r's and Shadow was instantly jealous. He had flunked French class for that one reason only.
"You know, that's great, but, you've got the wrong guy!"
