Jayln- Don't worry, there's some action from both parties… but… after she finds her hero… then the real action starts! And after she finds her hero… will Knuckles get even angrier?

Amy ran up to Rouge's room. "Wha- happened?" she asked.

Rouge started pointing at the two. Shadow had his music all the way up. Sonic was getting annoyed of listening to 'Throw It All Away' (SA2B-Shadow's theme- I wuv it!)

Amy pulled them both by the collars. Surprisingly, they didn't try to run or move away. Rouge sighed and walked downstairs. She sat down at the kitchen table.

It's weird that both of them are fast and silver isn't their natural color… but wait… Sonic said that Shadow got hit with water and he 'malfunctioned'… so it wasn't on purpose… but who's to say that the hedgehog that saved me had 'malfunctioning' eyes… did Sonic tell me why he has those contacts on?

"Umm… Sonic?"

Sonic looked up at her. "Yeah?" he asked.

"Why do you have those contacts?"

He sighed. "I guess I should tell you the truth…"

Rouge looked at him with curiosity.

"I lost a bet… Shadow's bet…" Sonic said.

"IS IT MY FAULT THAT YOU TURNED MY EYES SILVER? I only punished you…" Shadow told Sonic.

Rouge's eyes widened with fear. "W-w-where'd you g-get that?" Rouge asked.

"Umm… Knuckles… I saw him in the park last night…"

"I did too! I was climbing a huge tree!" Sonic said.

Wait… the hedgehog that saved me fell from a tree…

"Sonic? Was that tree above a bench?" Rouge asked.

"Dunno… but I remember seeing him walk around…" Sonic said.

"And then we had a race in the park, to see who would jump trees faster. You know… jump from tree to tree…" Shadow said.

"And?"

"He fell!" Sonic laughed.

"NO! You pushed me down! You're the one that fell! At least I landed on my feet… no… you had to use a somersault before you hit the ground!" Shadow said.

"Whatever, you two… just get out of my house!" Rouge said.

Shadow and Sonic turned around and started walking to the door. Shadow stayed.

"What do you want?" Rouge asked, a bit angry now…

"You're welcome…" he said.

"For what?" she said, panicking a bit.

"For the two things I told you…" Shadow said, back turned at her.

"What two things?" Rouge asked with excitement.

"About what you asked just a few seconds ago… the tree and the eyes…"

Rouge sighed. I knew that it couldn't be someone that close to me… plus my hero's voice doesn't sound like theirs…

After Shadow left, Echo came knocking. Rouge opened the door then gasped.

Echo can copy voices… and mesmerize boys with her real one!

"Echo! Can you copy boys' voices too?" Rouge asked.

Echo nodded. "Yeah…" she said in Shadow's voice. "Why?" she asked using Sonic's.

Rouge jumped up in happiness. Now all I need to do is get Echo to hear that voice…but how? Record it?… nice!

Short… don't worry Jayln… you will get what you want… and then, sudden change… and others will get what they want… then another twist and she finds her hero… I still haven't decided who, though…
