Okay, it's July, I finally have some free time from writing chapter 2 of another fic and drawing some fanart. I have no job, (though I need one. ;); I'm young and bored to death. I'm sugar high and insane and just knowing the fact that Sonic X is going to air on my birthday is the greatest present ever! Just looking at Shadow with a different expression (other than scowling) on his cute face makes me jump with glee! I just hope 4Kids doesn't screw it up like they did with YGO.

Well if you've noticed I've gone over the fic a couple of times and changed certain things like the songs, paragraphs, and some other crap I can't remember at the moment, etc. Since I'm on the subject, the only reason I changed the song (s) was because I found one that was highly appropriate. I found it while looking around on Kazaa, and when I heard it, I instantly fell in love with it! Since the song is named "M" and as you can see just by looking at the lyrics, I found it so fitting, but I'll leave that up your imagination.

Ignore me, I'm psychotic.

Tsunami Wave: To be honest I wasn't even planning on any parings, except for Rouge/Knuckles, but from the way it's turning out, it's going to be an Amy/Sonic paring and another one which I'm not going to go into at the moment . So no it's not going to be a sonadow - I LOVE sonadows, but I will consider it for another fic though since you asked.

DuoChan: Sorry 'bout that! I didn't notice till you pointed it out, I've fixed what I could!

Shadowgirl: Thanks again, there's no need to worry, I have it back now.

Victoria B.: Hey there Vic! Thanks for reviewing! Say hi to Miguel for me (if you see him), and tell him I'm currently looking for someone that can draw landscapes and crap like that; I say "crap" a lot don't I?

[Now on with this crappy fic]

Part Six
Meetings and Bars


kyou mo mata kono machi no doko ka de
wakare no michi erabu futari
shizuka ni maku o oroshita;

Again, somewhere in this city today
two people split apart
the curtains are quitely dropped;


Ever wondered what its like to die and then be told you weren't due until 60 years later at 6: 15 a.m.? That's what Sonic had to go through, yep, he went and got himself killed alright. Doesn't life get any overdramatic than this? Wait, don't answer that. Why does everyone like to kill off the good guy? What's with people these days? I mean, why do people love to see others suffer and yet they don't give a damn if they don't even wake up the next morning? Are people THAT stupid or just plain ignorant of their own faults? Too many questions to be answered by someone who was unconscious and barely alive on a dire beach, everything was just too melancholy today.

Shit. That's what Sonic felt like at the moment. Being dead wasn't any fun if you had to come back to life in a body that badly bruised up; pain, the only thing that notified the azure hedgehog that he was alive.

"Ugh." Sonic groaned and blinked himself awake trying to remember the night's events that took place here in life, and in death. To say the least, confusion was the last thing on his mind, it was more like Shit, why the hell did I have to agree to this? Why me?. Well anyway he got up [painfully] and observed the area; a big rock, an ocean, some sea gulls, sand, a very disturbing image of Eggman in a pink bathing suit, cans- EGGMAN?! What the hell was that loony doing here of all places? Especially in a pink [women's] bathing suit? Wait, some things were better off not knowing. Sonic slowly made his way off the beach and on to the dock, what he didn't realize was that someone was running up to him.

"Well I told you I was going to help you Sonic, I couldn't just leave you here!"

Sonic looked at her, white hedgehog with blue streaks, female, familiar voice, big chest, good looking, no he couldn't say that he knew her but he wished so anyway.

"And who are you?" was all that Sonic could come up with. "It's me Maria! Remember? I told you I was coming along for the ride!" She smiled at him. All Sonic could do was gawk at her, she's Maria?! He had to admit she was rather cute as a human but she's HOT as a hedgehog. "Sonic would you stop staring at my chest and look at me in the eye?"

"Whoops, sorry." She looked at him showing her disapproval. And to think all this time she thought he wasn't as much as a perve as she had originally thought, but hey, she tried at least. "Well let's go find your friends they're really worried about you - also at the moment I believe we might run into Shadow and Amy, that is, if Amy hasn't tried to kill him yet. " Maria walked a little ways and paused, "Oh yes, I forgot, you're going to have to call me Angel - Sonic? Sonic, are you listening to me?" Sonic was already passed out on the ground fast asleep and snoring like hell.

(Well since she wanted to be called Angel that's how I'm going to refer to her as from now on)

Angel sighed heavily, "Well things couldn't get any worse -" she looked at Eggman, "- okay, that would be filed as disturbing." She dragged Sonic across the beach and into town, awaiting the time that she would soon meet Shadow and Amy once more.

Um, Shadow, I don't think we should go in.

"Why?"

It's a BAR!

"So? I don't get it, haven't you ever been to one?"

Why would I WANT to go to a bar in the first place? Since when have you been to one?!

Shadow shrugged and walked in anyway not even noticing the big sign that said:

ACTUS REUS A
Mobius' Greatest Gay Bar

Shadow, I-I don't think this is a good idea.

Why? I don't see the harm, so what if they're gay? It's not really a problem now is it?

Deep down Amy knew this wasn't a good idea, she didn't mind the fact that they were gay; it's the fact that it's a bar! You don't just go waltzing in on people that are drunk, what if they tried something?

Shadow just sat down on a stool next to what looked like a very drunken skunk; he was drooling and muttering something about a motorcycle trying to kill him. Well Shadow had to admit Amy was right on some level, you do meet the most unique people when going around town! Strangely enough there really didn't seem to be very many people in it; two or three, either still conscious or passed out on the floor.

"So what'll it be hon?"

A rather happy-go-lucky looking bartender stared face to face at Shadow smiling; if Shadow wasn't used to the unexpected he would've fallen off the stool by now.

"I'll take the house special."

"Well this seems to be the place!" Angel smiled to herself, "Oi Sonic! You okay back there?" Sonic was throwing up in a near by trash can and looking like hell. "Well, that's what you get for drinking! Shadow never drank this badly; he was a responsible drinker - oh look! There's your friends! Let's say hi!" Sonic just looked up at her from his trash can,

"Are you always this hyper or is it just a morning thing?"

"A little of both actually."

"Oh joy."

Rouge and Knuckles were at it again; Tails was sitting down on the ground looking defeated. You'd think that looking for a good place to eat would be simple, but when you have a hot-headed echidna and a sleazy bat, anything happens, anything goes.

"Dodgy looking group you have here Sonic,"

Everyone's ears perked at the mentioned name. Rouge had her fist two inches away from Knuckles' face before she stopped, "Did you say "Sonic"?"

Everyone turned to the white-furred, blue-streaked, female, hedgehog that was smiling happily away at everyone and behind her, to everyone's surprise, was Sonic ("Why the hell did you have to drag me - I can walk you know.").

"Why yes I did, right Sonic?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever."

Sonic moved to the front of Angel but didn't get a chance to speak because of the little fact that Tails already had his arms around him, glomping him to the point that his face now matched his fur. "You know Tails - you can let go NOW!" Tails half-heartedly let go of Sonic while putting on his puppy dog eyes ("Tails. Not. Now."). The rest crowded around like piranha and Sonic being the meat - or the IDIOT animal that just so happened to "fall" into the water to its certain doom, hint, hint.

"Well this is great and all but - "

Angel made a face; no one was paying any attention to her. They had better if they wanted to know where Shadow is, but it wouldn't be her problem if they ran into something unexpected, they weren't listening; and the crickets chirped.

"LISTEN!"

Angel yelled at the top of her "new" lungs, her voice echoed around like surround sound (- hey that rhymed!). "Huh?" was sadly the most pathetic answer she got from the lot; hey miracles can't always happen, right?

"Before any of you ask and before Sonic opens his trap, my name is Maria Robotnik. Although most of you know me as the friend of Shadow's that died, I did die and here I am now as a hedgehog known as Angel. Got that?" everyone nodded and backed off of Sonic who which was currently taking deep breaths due to the fact that Knuckles was choking the life out of him. Angel began again, "Okay people lets go and get Amy, she's near by and I'll explain everything on the way. Okay with you Sonic?" Sonic nodded and they ran.

Fifteen minutes later at the bar

Angel and the gang had finally made it to their destination; a gay bar. "Why would Amy be at a bar especially a gay bar?" Knuckles looked at Sonic then at Angel, seeing that there wasn't going to be an answer he decided to walk in. But before he could even walk an inch, a rather odd looking woman was throwing out a pink, red, and black hedgehog. Everyone gaped, that was Amy?!

"Heeeyyyy lady! Whacha doin'?"

"I'm kicking ya out that's wha'!"

"Tha' hurt!!!"

"Ya youths are all the same; drink all ya want, ruffle up the remainin' customers, and then I find out tha' cha' can't pay!"

"I'm a s'posed to payyyy??"

The 'lady' went back inside and slammed the door and locked it. Rouge covered Tails' eyes; Knuckles was muttering something about "under the influence" and Sonic still had a hangover the size of Russia. Angel was mute the whole time.

"Hi'ya peoples!"

Angel sighed to herself, so much for the 'responsible drinker'.

And still no one got anything to eat.

A: this means 'guilty act'.

Mei: Hmm, this turned out crappier than I thought.

Sonic: Not really.

Mei: glares If I say It's crappy, then it's crappy. Got that?

Sonic: laughs nervously Yes "Miss Evil One".

Mei: That's better.

Anyone have suggestions on what the next chapter should be about? I'm stuck at the moment. (--) If anyone has any suggestions let me know! The plot of another fic of mine keeps running through my head - it's very annoying when one is writing for another; I'm trying very hard to make the chapters longer although my attempts fail every time. The 4th of July is nearing and my patience is thinning - I WANT IT TO COME NOW! Time is so mean.
