Chapter 7:

Shadow's New Car

Once the gang was back in Utah they had to work on getting Chris out of the four month old waffle boxes.

"Let's just keep him in there and ship him to the Czech Republic." Shadow said.

"Yeah, let's do that! He's unconscious anyway. When he wakes up he will just think it's a dream." Knuckles agreed.

"It's a bit mean, but I'll do it." Rouge sighed.

Everyone else agreed and they wrapped Chris up in plastic and wrapping paper. They wrote down a random address and stuffed him in the mailbox along with his butler. The house now belonged to the animals! They turned Chris' room into a swimming pool/ bowling alley room.

The next morning, no one could find Shadow. He wasn't in his sanctuary, his room, the yard or the trash can out back. Everyone got worried except Sonic who had a party-of-one in his bedroom. Knuckles, Tails, Rouge and Amy began a search party to look for him.

Meanwhile, Shadow wasn't lost; he was at a car dealership buying a new car. He had been to 26 stores already. Now, he had his eye on a black Viper.

"How much is this?" Shadow asked the salesman.

"78,000 rings sir." The man replied.

"I'll buy it for 50,000." Shadow bargained.

"Very well." The man sighed.

"Oh, how much would it be extra to have a paint job done to it?" Shadow asked.

"Oh about 1,000 more rings." The man replied.

Shadow gave the salesman 51,000 rings and cha-ching he had a new car. The man drove it into the garage to have the paint job done. Shadow called Knuckles to tow Chris' car away to make room for his new car. Knuckles said he would and they hung up.

When Shadow returned home Chris' Ford was gone and Shadow parked his black Viper in the driveway. The car now had two red stripes on the roof going down to the front and flames on the sides. He walked inside.

"Knuckles, get the others except Sonic and tell them to come out to the front." Shadow ordered.

"Okay." Knuckles ran off.

In .0009 seconds, everyone- but Sonic- was in the front.

"Here's my new car!" Shadow yelled leading everyone out.

Knuckles almost fainted, Rouge's mouth was hanging open, Tails was walking around it and Amy was shaking her head.

"Cool car Shadow." Rouge said.

"Let's go somewhere. How about, Pizza Hut on me!" Shadow said.

"Yay!" everyone yelled piling into the car.

"I call shotgun!" Tails yelled.

"Tails, there isn't a shotgun in this car." Amy said.

Tails began to cry real loud so Amy duct taped his mouth. Tails, Amy and Rouge got in the back (even though it was a two- seater) and Knuckles sat in the passenger's seat.

"Off to Pizza Hut we go!" Shadow yelled.

He zoomed off. He was actually a good driver for not ever taking driving lessons. He almost crashed into a pole parking though. They went through the drive through at Pizza Hut and got their lunch. After that they headed home.

"No eating in the car Tails!" Shadow yelled at Tails who was trying to get the pizza through the duct tape.

Everyone arrived home to see that Sonic had gone on a rampage and wrecked the house. Knuckles called the mental institution while Shadow put Sonic in a cardboard box to keep him from stabbing himself.

The mental institution took Sonic away in a straight jacket. He was yelling out algebra problems while he was being dragged out. Sonic somehow managed to blow up Shadow's car using his mental brain waves and soon Shadow's car was a pile of ash. Shadow cursed at Sonic the whole time he was being driven off.

That night, Shadow piled up the ashes of his car in a bottle and went back to the car dealership. Luckily they were closed. Shadow somehow broke in with having the alarms go off and went behind the front desk. He shot the cash register opened and got his 51,000 rings back. He put the bottle of ashes on the desk and left a note saying his car burned. He signed it as the Grim Reaper. He went home and fell asleep on the doormat outside.
