Chapter 3: Downtown Mayham

As the group headed downtown Shadow looked down at his hand which was still held by the girls' "You're still holding my hand you know" He said looking at me. I let go immediately "Oh uh s-sorry about that" He just smirked "So we never learned your name did we?" Sonic said "Oh I never said my name? Well I'm Dana Tamarine, but just call me Dana" I said spun around and winked gracefully. sweat drop "Uhh what's with the pose?" Knuckles asked "SHUT UP! That's how I introduce myself!" I yelled at him "Ok whatever you say"

As we began passing people they noticed us and began whispering "Oh no" I said "What is it?" Espio said "I forgot, see I think people will think it really strange for a chameleon, 2 hedgehog's, and an echidna to be walking around in Washington D.C" Suddenly a little girl jumped up and yelled "Hey everyone look it's Sonic the Hedgehog! And that other fake hedgehog!" "What did she say!" Shadow growled "No time for that let's go!" I said as people turned to looked at us. As we were chased through the streets the police were soon on our tail "This is getting ridiculous" I mumbled "I don't understand, this never happened to us in our world" Sonic said "Hello different world different rules" I said as we ran into a park "Ok I think we are safe… for now" I said catching my breath "We seem to be very well known in this world" Shadow said sitting down on a bench "Well yeah, ever since 1991 Sonic has existed and as years went by and new characters were added he has become an idol to many, but has been recently overshadowed by the infamous Shadow the Hedgehog. You've even had your own show's, in different languages as well"

"You seem to know a lot about us" Shadow mused. I suddenly became embarrassed "Oh well, you see-" I looked down. Shadow came up to me "Don't be embarrassed, I don't mind having an admirer" His words almost made me faint "Shadow, stop teasing Dana she obviously likes you and your just getting her hopes up" Knuckles said I snapped out of it "Are you saying I'm not attractive!" I yelled. He stepped back "No that's not what I'm saying at all!" Knuckles yelled back at me "Are you saying I can't be sexy!" I yelled Knuckles was caught in something he couldn't get out of "Wha-! What the hell are you talking about!" "Well maybe I should show you then" I said walking toward him "Stay away from me you crazy human!" Knuckles yelled "Then say it! Say I'm sexy then!" "No way!" He yelled "Say it, now!" I said in a scary dark voice "Y-you're sexy" He muttered "I'm sorry I didn't hear that" I said "I said you're sexy!" Knuckles yelled embarrassed. The other's burst out laughing "There, now that wasn't so hard was it?" I said patting his head. He grumbled in response. "Man, I don't think any girl has been able to that before" Sonic said rubbing underneath his nose "Well I'm maybe one of those special types" I grinned "Well you certainly are something" Espio said"What's that supposed to mean?" I said raising an eyebrow. Espio just whistled.

"Alright let's go back to your place before people find out where we are" Sonic said walking off. We followed him until I noticed was looking at something. "Hey Shodow what'cha doing?" I said trying to see what he was holding. He abruptly turned around and hid whatever he was holding behind his back "Nothing let's go" he said walking forward, Ishrugged andturnedto follow the other's.

Shadow stared at the white lily he was holding and sighed

Shadow: ...What-was-that?

Kidori: Wat? I can't be silly once in awhile?

Shadow: I pity Knuckles

Kidori: You're just jealous

Shadow: What was with that white lily thing?

Kidori:Oh, you'll find outsoon
