I apologize to all the Shadow fans out there if you don't like to see fan characters and Shadow together. In this chapter Knuckles and Rouge finally come back. Both Alfred and Knuckles work together to get Shadow and Pepper out. Please R&R!!!! No flames please.

Chapter 3:Sweet Escape

"O.O," Pepper and Shadow both said when they stopped kissing.

"What just happened?" Pepper asked, looking surprised.

"I-I don't know," Shadow said, looking the same way.

"What's going on in there?!" Sonic asked.

"Ya, we demand to know!!!!!" Tails said.

"Nothing you idiots!" Shadow said. He wasn't exactly sure what else to say.

Felicity was talking to Tails about how she was planning on painting her nails when she got home. "I'm gonna paint them hot pink!" she said. Tails looked like he was about to burst from all this girl talk. Tails loves Felicity, but sometimes he thinks she's just too much.

"Ya Felicity, I'm sure it will look great. I have to go...uh, over there." Tails said.

"Well I'll go with you!" Felicity said, as she stood up and smiled.

"N-no that's quite ok! Stay here and, um, rest. I'll help them uh, think, ya that's it, think...bye." Tails said.

"Well ok, I'll stay here, but I won't like back soon!" She said. Tails looked relieved.

"So how are they doing in there?" Tails asked Sonic and Alfred. Alfred was trying to see what was going on inside through a slit in the wall, but all he could see was black.

"I don't know. They aren't saying anything. Pepper started to speak, but Shadow cut her off. "That was a complete accident...I didn't mean to...it's your fault. You're the one that jumped into my arms, which are close to breaking if you don't get off of me!" Shadow said rudely.

".," Pepper said. "S-s-sorry I bothered you!" Pepper said with anger and tears. She walked over to an empty spot and sat down and started to cry.

"C'mon, I didn't mean to make you cry! Oh, now you're gonna make ME feel bad!" Shadow said. "I guess I have to apologize...how come whenever I'm mad somebody else gets sad?!" Shadow said quietly, making sure that Pepper didn't hear him.

All of a sudden the coming back of Knuckles interrupted everyone's thoughts. Knuckles had lipstick all over his face and Rouge was gone. "I'm back!" Knuckles said.

"Where's rouge?" Sonic asked.

"She went home. She didn't want to be around Pinky over there." He said, pointing to Amy. Amy started to cry.

"Oh Amy, can't you just shut up?!" Charmy said, very annoyed. This just made her cry harder. Charmy sighed.

"Ok, now that you're here, can you help us get this wall off of Shadow and Pepper?" Alfred asked. All of a sudden an outburst of laughing came from Pepper. Shadow had tried to run over her to apologize, when he bumped into a rock. He was lying unconscious on the floor.

"That was the most funny thing I have ever seen-I mean heard-in my entire life!" Pepper said. She couldn't stop laughing.

Shadow blinked his eyes, and grunted. "I need...a tailor..." he said, and went unconscious again. This made Pepper laugh even harder.

Just then more rocks started to fall. Pepper immediately stopped laughing and started screaming. She was screaming so loud, that Shadow shot up bolt right. "Shut up will ya? I'm trying to be unconscious over here!" Shadow yelled, and with that, he lay back down and closed his eyes.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Pepper shrieked. A medium size stone was about to fall on Shadow. It wasn't very big, but it wasn't the smallest thing on earth, either. "Huh, what? Who...huh?" Shadow said, awaking from Pepper's scream. The rock hit him on the head and he immediately went unconscious again.

Pepper started laughing. "Can you (haha) get us out of here (haha) before (haha) we both (hahahahaha) DIE?!" Pepper said with all the breath she had left. After this, she fainted. It was dead silent.

"Pepper, are you ok?" Alfred asked. When she didn't answer he went into a heroic pose and ran over to the pile.

"Al, what are you-?" Sonic was cut off. Alfred was lifting rocks off the pile at high speed. Stones were flying everywhere.

"Felicity! Watch out!" Tails yelled. He ran at her and pushed her on the floor. As soon as he did this, everyone else jumped on the floor. Amy had 'accidentally' fallen next to Sonic. She was staring at him.

Alfred was making a huge dent in the wall now, and just then, light flooded through the cave-like wall. Pepper and Shadow were on the ground, not speaking.

Alfred walked over and stood in front of everyone. He licked his finger and touched his 'backside,' and made a sizzling sound. "Oh ya, I rule. How come you guys aren't cheering?!" he asked.

Everybody ran into the cave. Amy grabbed Pepper, and Tails grabbed Shadow. They got them out just in time. Just then the rocks had completely caved in.

Pepper and Shadow still weren't conscious. Knuckles ran to the refrigerator, and grabbed a pitcher of ice cold water out of it. He ran over and poured it on Pepper and Shadow.

They both shot up. "WHAT THE???!!!!!!!!!!" Shadow shouted. "You stupid jerk!!!!" he said. "How dare you!!!!!!" Pepper shrieked. "Now I'm all wet, and cold!!!" she said.

"Sorry, I've always wanted to do that." Knuckles said. "Well, that was the first and last time!" Shadow shouted.

From that day forward, Pepper no longer had a crush on Shadow. She thought of him as an inconsiderate jerk. Tails and Felicity were thinking about getting married, but they decided it was too early. Knuckles and Rouge went their separate ways, although they were only together for one day. Amy still liked Sonic, but of course, he hated the thought of them being together. As for Alfred, let's just say that he and Pepper make a pretty good couple. The day after the earthquake he had asked her out, and she said yes. They live together in the same house as they had been, and they are both happy. Charmy was still perky and, well, a little clumsy, but after that day, they all realized something...TEAM... Together Everyone Achieves More...the end.
