The first chapter was weird probably but I needed somewhere to begin. The story gets better.

Chapter 2:

Sanctuary Antics

Shadow returned back into the kitchen laughing hysterically. He walked over to Knuckles and tried to tell him something. This is what Knuckles heard.

"IgotSonicrealgoodhehasrashesalloverhim!"

"Pardon?" Knuckles asked.

Shadow took a deep breath and repeated the phrase.

"I got Sonic real good! He has rashes all over him!" Shadow restated.

"Where is he?" Knuckles asked smiling.

"In his room crying his head off." Shadow replied beginning to laugh again.

Knuckles smiled.

"Now," Shadow cleared his throat, "if you need me, I'll be in my sanctuary plotting world domination. Ciao!" Shadow finished air skating off.

"In his sanctuary?" Tails asked coming back into the kitchen. "What's a sanctuary?"

"So much for genius." Knuckles whispered to Rouge causing her to laugh again.

"Sanctuaries are a place of refuge or asylum." Knuckles replied.

Rouge looked at Knuckles surprisingly.

"You read that out of a dictionary didn't you?" Tails asked.

"Yeah, so?" Knuckles asked.

Rouge frowned.

"That's cheating!" Rouge said.

"Well, I wanted to be accurate!" Knuckles explained.

Sonic fell down the stairs and landed right in front of Knuckles. He looked up and smiled. He stood up quickly.

"The rashes went away!" Sonic said happy.

"Darn, I wanted to see…" Knuckles muttered.

"Where's Black and Deadly?" Sonic growled.

"You mean Shadow?" Knuckles asked.

"Yeah."

"He's in his sanctuary." Knuckles explained.

"He has a sanctuary?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah, don't you?" Knuckles asked.

"No. You have too don't you?" Sonic asked.

"Duh, everyone does besides you and Tails." Knuckles said. "Speaking of which, I'm going to mine."

Knuckles walked off he turned down a hall and pushed a button. An elevator appeared out of nowhere in the wall. Knuckles got in it.

When he got out he was in his sanctuary. It was filled with emeralds and trophies from boxing. In the back room was a case that contained the Master Emerald and a garage with his Red Porsche Carrera GT. In the main room was a couch with a plasma TV, a CD system filled with rap music and a fireplace. On the mantle were pictures. Most were of him with Sonic and Tails when they were younger. He had two of him and Rouge together and one of Rouge by herself. Knuckles lied down on the couch and fell asleep.

In Shadow's sanctuary, Shadow was doing the same as Knuckles: sleeping. Shadow's sanctuary was completely different from Knuckles. Shadow had a whole wall filled with guns of different kinds. He had one whole wall painted like a fire design. He even had a black hole. He had three pictures. One of him and Knuckles, one of Maria and one of him beating up Sonic (he liked that one the best). He also had a garage with his black Lamborghini.

Back in the kitchen, Sonic was staring at Rouge who was walking out of the kitchen.

"Don't tell me you have a sanctuary too?" Sonic groaned.

"Yeah, everyone does just like Knuckles said. Even Amy has one. Oh, and it's filled to the brim with you." Rouge added with a smile.

Sonic stamped his foot. He started walking in circles.

"I need a sanctuary!" Sonic yelled.

"Hey Sonic." Tails said.

"Yeah what- Why are you dirty?" Sonic asked noticing Tails had dirt all over him.

"Oh, I just finished my sanctuary. You should start on yours, now you're the only one without one." Tails explained getting a carton of Apple Juice and heading out of the kitchen.

Sonic cursed and stomped out of the kitchen.

Rouge arrived in her sanctuary. You can guess what is in hers and you'll most likely be right. She had one whole wall filled with pictures of Knuckles. Most were of him alone, but there were some of them together. She had a case filled to the brim with jewels and her car (from SA2). She also had a room with a pink laptop. She walked over to it and logged on.

Sonic came back into the house with a screwdriver, a drill, a hammer, a saw, an axe, a shovel, a funnel and a plank of wood.

"Where are going with that?" Chris asked still in the heap of boxes.

"Nowhere." Sonic replied hastily.

"WILL SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF THESE WAFFLE BOXES!" Chris yelled.

Sonic poked his head around the corner of the wall.

"No! Hah!" he laughed.

Chris cursed and fell asleep in the pile. Sonic went to his room and made a hole in the wall to start his sanctuary. He used the axe until he had to dig. He worked on it all night.

Shadow was in his sanctuary sleeping when the sound of drilling was heard. He sat up alerted.

"I didn't steal anything!" he yelled.

He looked around and saw no one. He sighed and heard the drilling again.

"What's going on up there?" Shadow thought.

He got up off the couch, turned of his evil music and got on the elevator. He carefully stepped out of the elevator not wanting to be seen. He walked out of his room and over to where the drilling was coming from.

Shadow walked in Sonic's room and saw him on the floor drilling another hole in his wall.

"Remodeling?" Shadow asked with a smirk.

"Ah, it's Black and Deadly!" Sonic yelped jumping on the ceiling.

Shadow looked up at him. "What's with all this Black and Deadly stuff?" he asked.

"You don't have any waffles do you?" Sonic asked.

Shadow turned his pockets inside out and shook his head. Suddenly, gravity got the best of him and Sonic fell to the floor.

"I knew the ceiling wasn't a great hiding spot." Sonic sighed.

"Next time try under the bed." Shadow suggested.

Sonic scoffed and went back to work.

"What're you doing anyway?" Shadow asked noticing all the tools.

"Building my sanctuary." Sonic replied.

Shadow couldn't help but laugh. In fact, he began to crack up. He got so hysterical that he began throwing Sonic's belongings at the blue critter.

Sonic caught most of them, but when Shadow threw his bed Sonic got thrown against the wall. Knuckles came into the room with Espio, Rouge, Tails and some Japanese guy.

"What in the world is going on here?" Knuckles asked.

"Looks like a massacre if you ask me." Tails replied.

"See, I missed another funny thing." Espio pointed out.

Rouge reminded him of the piano incident that morning and Espio began to laugh.

"Konichiwa!" the Japanese guy said.

"Why- is- there- a- Japanese- guy- in- my- house!" Chris yelled from the boxes.

Knuckles turned around and socked him in the head causing the Japanese guy to literally fly out the window. He was yelling something in Japanese as this happened.

Knuckles ran over to the window and yelled something in Japanese at the flying guy. Probably curse words.

"You speak Japanese?" Rouge asked.

"Yes, very fluently too." Knuckles replied with a smile.

Rouge blinked. Shadow got control of his laughter. Tails began drinking Apple Juice. Sonic threw the bed off him. Espio played his purple Nintendo DS.

"So, you're trying to build a sanctuary?" Shadow asked.

"Yep. Now, shoo." Sonic said waving his hand.

Everyone scowled and left. The Japanese guy climbed through the window but Sonic pushed him back out. He then went back to working on his sanctuary.

Shadow went back down to his as you went down his elevator flames shot up and an evil laugh could be heard. Knuckles' glowed green and make sparkly sounds. Rouge's was supposed to have music, but her elevator was broken.

"Grrrrrrrrrrr… I have to get that fixed." Rouge said. "I'm gonna call LG&E. And I need to call Insight about my computer."

Rouge got on the phone.

"Hello?" a voice asked.

"Yes, can you come fix my elevator? The music doesn't play and the lights aren't ever on." Rouge explained.

"Sure just tell me your phone number and address and I'll send someone out." The voice said.

"The number is 387-0001 and our address…" Rouge started.

"What's our address?" Rouge thought.

Hope you liked it!
