It ended up in the drawing of Knuckles to drive. Even though Tails said he
could drive a lot better than Knuckles ever could, all of the older friends
thought that the image of an eight-year-old driving a convertible car
through the city would be, not only suspicious, but unbelievable and quite
attention-grabbing.
Instead, Tails got to sit in the back and pout the whole way. To help Sonic hide the fact that he had recently been in and out of the hospital without a change of clothes, Shadow let him wear his hooded sweatshirt, revealing a SonicTeam© T-shirt beneath.
"Nice shirt," Sonic had commented at the time.
Shadow then explained that it was his favorite shirt and that he was currently very sad about the recent projects of the SonicTeam© itself. Apparently, they were lacking the quality they used to have in the Sonic the Hedgehog adventure games.
This, of course, did not make the hedgehog in a human's body too happy, but he was able to live with it.
Tails looked up at his hero, except this time literally. "You know," Tails commented, "your hair isn't blue anymore."
"It isn't?" Sonic asked, running his hand through his hair to see if he could feel the change in color. "It's kind of a blonde-ish white, right?"
"Yep. That's really weird..." Tails added.
"I hadn't noticed..." Shadow snickered.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Sonic demanded, almost leaning forward in his seat, which was proved very difficult do to his lack of maneuverability from the casts on his legs.
"Simple. I hadn't noticed a difference in intelligence. I kinda always figured you for a dumb blonde!"
Sonic was able to thrust himself forward just enough to roughly hit the back of Shadow's seat, which was right in front of him anyway.
Shadow just laughed while Knuckles and Tails had to giggle along. The Anderson household was coming into sight anyway.
Out front and waiting for them were Mrs. Anderson, Cody, Carl, Sally, and Amy, as well as a cake that read "Welcome Back!" on it in Mrs. Anderson's hands. Carl was standing all by himself while holding on to Mrs. Anderson's pant leg.
Knuckles drove the car slowly into the driveway as well as trying to avoid Amy. Somehow she had gotten away from the group waiting for them and she was currently trying to get to her hero and never-secret crush, Sonic.
Luckily, Sally was able to grab Amy before the girl in pink got too far.
As soon as the car stopped, Tails flipped out and ran to Cody, where he started bragging about his latest works. Knuckles picked up Sonic from the back seat and carried him to the little gathering in front of the house.
Carl, however, waddled right over to Shadow, where he looked up at the young teen, looked cute and held up his arms while opening and closing his hands.
Shadow, like Sonic, had too big of a heart to refuse, so he picked up the little tike and followed everyone to take Carl inside.
