Sorry for the late update, I've been busy.
Shades was walking downtown of Station Square, then she noticed a bakery. She looked through the window and finally went in the bakery. She came out later with a bag of stuff (obviously bread or cake). She continued walking and thinking, when a vision hit her. It was like a fast slideshow with her friends including Sonic and the others, then it slowed down and then showing Eggman, then a blurry figure that she could not tell what it was because she kept hearing something,
"ShAdes! ADes! ShAdEs! SnaP OuT oF It!"
"Huh?" Shades snapped out oh her trance and realized that she is stepping off of a docking bay,
Surprised about it, shetired to react fast but lost her balance anyway and is about to fall when someone grabbed her arm,
"Got 'cha," and thrust her back up.
Shades found herself in Shadows arms, and quickly separated herself from him.
"Are you okay?" he asked,
"Yeah, fine," she answered,
"How could you not realize that you were walking off into water?" Shadow asked,
"I, you could say that I was in a trance," she answered,
She took off her big cloak and carried it in her arms. The two continued walking to no specific place and talked. Then rain suddenly started pouring and the two had to find shelter so they headed for the nearest café or restaurant or something with food in it.
The rain seemed to never stop. Shadow finally broke the silence,
"Tell me; tell me more about you and why you and your friends are here,"
"You're not ready to know anything about our mission. But, if you want to know more about me, I guess you could…"
"Well? What's you're goal in life? What's your reason for being who you are?"
"I don't know. For a long time, I've been searching for something, something that's been missing in my life…I just don't know what it is. Shadow, who isthe most important person to you in your life?"
Shadow was silence for a while, then finally answered,
"For a while before and after I met Sonic, the closest friend I had, was a girl named Maria. After I met up with Sonic and the others again, they told me everything. How I really never lived aboard the Space Colony ARK, and how I never really met Maria in my life. They were just fake memories planted in me when I was created,"
"I'm sorry for asking," said Shades,
"It's fine,"
"The most important ones in my life are my friends, or maybe this something or someone that I've been searching for. I don't remember half of my life so I don't even know a lot about myself. A lot of people or even those from where I came from fear me because I'm so dark and mysterious," said Shades,
"When I saw you, I didn't feel or see anything bad about you, you reminded me of someone,"
"You?"
"No, someone else,"
"The rain stopped," said Shades awhile later,
They walked together until Shades got a call from her watch which is actually a communicator and it doesn't tell time.
"Yes?"
"This is Knell, we're holding another meeting at Tails' house, find Shadow and bring him along,"
"Don't worry, I've already found him. When are we meeting?"
"(Grunt) Now would be great, (grunt for effort) hurry," click
"Well, let's go Shadow,"
When Shades and Shadow reached Tails' house, Sonic and Star were already there.
"Hey, Shadow, hey Shades," Sonic "hi"ed
"How have you guys been?" asked Star,
"Fine," Shades answered,
After waiting for a while, Three-Tails and Tails came,
"Hi everyone... Shades! You brought things from a bakery!? What did you get!? What did you get!? Did you get what I want?!" Three-Tails jumped for the bread and maybe cake that Shades had bought.
Shades headed for the kitchen to cook,
"Shades can cook?" Shadow asked,
"Oh yeah, she was gifted but she doesn't cook often. So Star and I had to learn how and cook for ourselves if Shades is not around or is in a bad mood," answered Three-Tails eating some bakery bread.
Knell finally came in supporting Knuckles,
"What happened to Knuckles!?" asked Sonic surprised and also helped Knuckles in,
"Well, what happened?" Star asked,
"Oh nothing, I just needed a first aid kit or something. I'll help Knuckles," said Knell and started treating his shoulder.
"Hey Knell, how did you get fire to-"
"Shhh! Don't tell Star, Three-Tails, or Shades about this! You weren't supposed to find out about my power to use fire,"
Sonic was talking to Three-Tails,
"Really?" asked Sonic,
"Yeah, and from where we came from, Star's nickname is the 'Shooting Star,'" said Three-Tails,
When dinner started, Knell finished treating Knuckles right on time,
"Hey, save me some stuff from the bakery, TT," said Knell when she came in the room,
"Don't call me that, and I did save some for you," Three-Tails answered tossing the bag to Knell,
"TT?" Tails asked,
"My little nickname for her," Knell answered,
Before anything else could be said, a beeping noise was heard coming from Shades,
"Excuse me," she said and left the room,
"Looks like Yin-Yang's here," said Three-Tails,
"Do you think she's mad at us?" Star pondered
"Nah, not Yin-Yang," said Knell, and then her face and voice softened,
"Yin-Yang knew we would come here anyway, and besides, she trusts us and knows that we follow our hearts and she says that that's always the right path,"
"Who's Yin-Yang?"
The girls had to make up a cover story now,
Shades talked in her watch, "Yes?"
"Meet me tonight at you-know-where. And bring Knell with you but only her," and it clicked silent, then Shades walked back in the room,
"Did I mention that Knuckles was attacked by a robotic Flandek Heat bug today?" mentioned Knell,
Star almost chocked, Three-Tails spat out her drink, Shades said, "What!?"
"Well, that explains why Knuckles was hurt today," said Three-Tails cleaning up her mess,
"A what?" Sonic asked,
Knuckles and Knell told them the whole story.
When everyone was leaving, Shades stopped Knell,
"Yin-Yang wants to see us,"
