Aye, this is going to be one of the final chapters friends. Sigh

I dunno. Maybe I'll make a sequel?

I'm sure you'll all like that, eh?

Well, seeing as how this chapter is so short.

Shadow: VERY short...

Tails: EXTREMELY short...

Amy: SUP--

kai-senpai: Huh! NOOO! Now...I have to do some kind of love triangle to safe my life! Oh, what did I do to deserve this! (Shadow: You decided to write about me, idiot.) Shut it Shadow.

metaldragon75767: Finally, a pairing that won't be hard in this story. I'll see what I can fit in to with KnucklesXRouge. Maybe. XD

Well, if I live to see the next two days, I'll probably finish the story around that time. Until then, enj--...crap.

I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING 'CEPT MY DIGNITY! 'KAY!

Onto the chapter! (Short chapter!)

8:45…oh my lord, it is 8:45.

"SHADOW!" Amy shrieked, kicking the hedgehog in the side. He groaned, sitting upright.

"What is it?" Shadow asked, rubbing his sore stomach. Amy had put a well placed roundhouse kick there and had nearly knocked Shadow out…while he was sleeping.

"It's eight forty-five! You have to take Cream home soon, or her mother will be pissed off!" Amy screeched in his face. Shadow pushed her away, grimacing.

"Fine, just stop yelling in my face. Crazy hedgehog…"

Shadow sat in the front seat of his Mazda, awaiting the arrival of Cream. The rabbit stood in front of her friends, waving good-bye. Tikal hugged her, Amy hugged her, and Tails waved. Finally, the rabbit entered the car and sat in the passenger seat. Shadow hadn't even given Cream time to close the door before he started the car and shifted to reverse.

"Alright, once we get to your house I'm going to drop you off and leave. Don't bother asking me to stay around, because I won't. Got it?" Cream nodded, now adapting to Shadow's way of behaving and speaking.

"Okay Mr. Shadow."

With a nod, Shadow pulled the car out of the driveway and backed into the street. He nearly missed another car which screeched to a halt and honked its horn.

"Screw you buddy!"

"Learn how to drive moron!"

The intense silence of the ten minute ride was driving Cream insane. The only noise was the rumble of the engine as it sped down the road. She turned to face Shadow, giving him a questioning stare. Shadow did his best to ignore her and turned on the radio.

"We've got fun and games!" Shadow turned the knob, the channel changing immediately.

"And that, my friends, is how the cookie crumbles. Please join us next time on the world expedition in fifty seconds: radio edition. I'm Darleen Johnson, saying good-bye and have a safe day."

Shadow sighed and turned the radio off. The silence returned once more.

"So…did you have fun?" the hedgehog asked, turning a corner. Cream smiled.

"Yes Mr. Shadow. Thank you." More awkward silence ensued. The car halted at a red light. It was a minute wait before the light turned green. Maybe things were turning out for the best? The siren of a cop car caused Shadow to double think this day.

"Life…sucks."

"What's the problem officer?" Shadow asked casually, cooling putting his hand on the door of his car and peering at the cop.

"Do you know how fast you were going son?" The officer asked, pulling out his clipboard and pen. The large glasses hid his face and kept his emotions hidden from the hedgehog and rabbit.

"Umm…forty-five officer…" Shadow stated, eyeing the cop suspiciously. The cop began to chew gum very loudly, his face nearing Shadow's.

"You were going sixty son," flatly. Shadow quirked a brow, unconvinced by the officer's assumption.

"I'm sorry sir, but you're mistaken. I was going forty-five, and I believe the speed limit is fifty, is it not?"

"Son, the speed limit is forty-five and you were going sixty. I'm going to have to arrest you." Shadow lost his cool and banged his hand on the steering wheel, the horn of the car blaring into the air.

"That's a lie! I was going forty-five and I know it!" The cop's nose touched's Shadow's as they both stared off.

"Wanna make a bet?"

Shadow sat inside the jail cell, grumbling. What had he done to deserve this? They hadn't even given him his phone call. And to top it all off, they had actually put Cream inside! Cream! ...Well, not that he cared, or anything...

"Mr. Shadow...?"

Shadow grunted in reponse.

"Why did they put me in here?"

"I don't know Cream...I think the cops have lost their minds. Or maybe..."

"What is it, Mr. Shadow?"

"Maybe Rouge was telling the truth..." Shadow nearly gasped in surprise.

"BASTARDS!"

Wow. Lot o' work.

Tails: ..You're joking, right?

...Uh..sure. Sorry 'bout the chapter folks. I wanted to save the good material for the end and I couldn't think of anything new. x.x The idea well is running dry.

Shadow: I thought it ran dry about five years ago?

Shut up. Now...read, review, and enjoy!

Shadow: B---mmph!

SHUT UP SHADOW! THEY'LL HEAR YOU!
